What do you do when you come to a green light?

Rrrg! I’m really sorry for not updating in forever, but I’ve just been really busy and boring. Nothing particularly blogworthy has been happening. Or I’m just too lazy to write any of it down. Yeah….. So. In case I haven’t told you already, my old iPod (if I haven’t told you this, you would still be thinking of it as the new iPod I got six months ago) DIED. It was working one day and then splat. It died.

Russell and I went to the Apple Store last Saturday and the Apple Store people said that since I was still under warranty or something, that I could get a free iPod in exchange for my ghetto one. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any in stock at the time. I called back basically all week and on the days that I could go get it, they were all out. Finally, I called today and the woman who picked up said that they had some 20 gee-bee iPods in stock. (Yay!)

I had Russell (my car slave) drive me over to the Apple store to get my iPod. When we got there, the “Genius” guy at the Genius Bar told us that they actually didn’t have any iPods in stock but that they could take my old one and call me when they got a new one in, etc. From there, Russell and I decided to check out some of the store’s laptop bags for his new iBook, because, by the way, Russell got a new iBook. And a new couch from IKEA.

I can just imagine some people in like Pakistan reading this and seeing how spoiled us Americans are and planning to bomb us all.

So, yeah. There we were picking out laptop bags and stuff when the Apple Store Genius guy comes up to me and is all, “This is your lucky day!” Turns out that they did have an iPod in stock and that I could get my free iPod! (Yay!) So, whoo-hoo! I got another iPod! I got another iPod! I got another iPod, hey, hey, hey, hey!

After that, Russell and I went to ETS to get some tacos and nachos and stuff. Then we went to my house, he called his friend Mary or something and we decided to go over to Jill’s house. I hadn’t seen Jill since like sixth grade, so that was cool.

For some reason, Russell told my sister that we were going to some sort of rave/house party in which people would be having sex and getting drunk. My sister told my mother and my mother was fine with it. Although I’m all in support of open parents, I’m a little surprised that they don’t know me well enough to know that I would NEVER be seen at something like that.

So….yeah. Jill’s house was pretty cool. We got to have a tour of it and stuff. She has a bunch of pets. Like a gecko and a GIANT monster turtle, and an algae eater, and a pretty cute little dog. Jill had these really weird brain teaser whatsits that I totally have to share with the whole internet now.

Okay, so. Spell “SHOP.” Yes, in your head. “S-H-O-P”. It’s probably better if you read this thing out loud. Okay. After spelling “SHOP,” answer this question: What do you do at a green light?

Okay? Got it? HAH! I bet you said “STOP!” But the actual answer is “GO!” Hahahaha!

And then there’s this one: Spell “JOKE.” Okay, now what’s the white of an egg called? …. Yolk? No! It’s called…. Egg white! (Wheee!)

That is all.

    Perhaps your mom wasn’t all worried because she *knew* you wouldn’t be at a rave :-).

    Congrats on iPod II!

    I’m enjoying my new “computer” class in which we sit around, setting up proxies on our servers to get around the North Atlanta porn filter :-/. It’s educational, if anything, on how to get around filters.
