laptop nostaligia

So I have a really old, outdated, falling apart laptop. (which I am typing this on right now.)
seriously, its about five years old.

So my parents decided to get me a new laptop for Christmas. This is, our local staples was having a pre black Friday sale (???why???) on laptops, so they decided to get one... today.

I had maybe thirty minutes to decide which one I wanted.
I knew had had to be fairly inexpensive, but with this whole sale we could afford a good one. I needed a good memory, and a good battery life . (since im gonna be hauling it with me everywhere.)

we found a good one, an HP (like the one I have now).
On Saturday im gonna take this laptop in to get all my many, many files moved to the new computer.
which means im going to be without a computer for about three days.

I haven't been without my computer since camp this summer.

wow first world problems man....

thing is, ive gotten really attached to this laptop.
Ive probably banged it on every corner in our house.
Ive dropped it and gotten viruses on it and accidentally burnt my hand when I touched the bottom after accidentally letting way overheat.
Ive brought it to school every day last year and skipped every lunch for six months in favor of going to the library just to work on a novella.

its covered with nail polish from sixth grade, cat stickers from seventh grade, many many other stickers from last year... its covered in scratched and you cant even tell what some of the keys are because they've been worn off.
the 'page down' key falls off and has to be popped back in.
the magnetic thing that's supposed to keep it closed when you shut it has long since stopped working.
the screen is covered with whats probably every speck of dust in the world.
others still some oil paint on the corner from where I watched Netflix while finishing an art project at 2 am and nodded off with the brush in my hand.
theres a weird stain below the touch pad that I think might be chocolate.

Ah, memories.

I'm gonna miss you buddy.



In other news, Thanksgiving is tomorrow.
My uncle is in town.
He's mentally disabled, but functions very well.
he likes trains.
Actually, he drew me this huge paper covered in tiny train cars.

I'm planning on attending the local 'turkey trot marathon' tomorrow morning with Bambi.

We're planning to walk, and then go to ihop to gain back all the calories that we might have lost.

Mmmmmm.

yeah im gonna go finish watching Over the Garden Wall now.
kbye.
