My Best Buy Shopping Nightmare

I went to Best Buy on Black Friday. I know. I deserve a medal. But, anyway, I went, and put on my bravest face. They wouldn’t scare me! I would wait an eternity if I had to.
I did. I was there to buy an external DVD/CD R/W Drive, compatible with USB 2.0. For myself, of course. Everyone else’s gifts come from Dollar Tree. Anyway, this is in the computer section of Best Buy. Because it goes with your computer. And, this whole section was roped off. You had to wait in a line for forty five minutes and fill out a form just to look at the products you were going to buy. It sort of reminded me of rations in Communist Russia. Keep in mind, my dad and I had to stand in line for forty five minutes just minutes earlier at Staples to buy an external hard drive with.... 1TB of memory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! Anyway, we stood in line. I was so tired. I thought about bribing someone to buy me coffee. So, we finally get to the end of the line, after nearly an hour, and we meet our guide who’s supposed to answer any questions we had. She asks us if we want a desktop, or a laptop. “Neither,” I reply, and proceed to tell her what it is we need in the most nerdish way possible to try to make myself sound smarticle. She does that thing people do when something is amiss and they just look at you and blink in amazement. She then informs us that we did not have to wait in that terrible line to begin with. As you can well imagine, I was not a happy camper. And, to top it all off, we had to keep telling people that we didn’t want a desktop. Or a laptop. That we just wanted to pay our thirty bucks and go home.
Now, before you say that this was my fault for shopping on Black Friday, believe me, I saved a ton of cash. And, although I know you don’t care, I’m going to tell you everything I got and the price :)

1. A printer for $30
2. An external hardrive with a terabyte of memory for $50
3. An external.... OH FORGET IT! The thingy mabobbit I waited in line for, $30
4. A blue purse from Claire’s (I wanted a different purse from Spencer’s, but they were sold out and I’m impatient) for....idk
5. A bracelet, hair pin, and earrings from Claires....again, IDK and IDC
6. Pink perfume and lotion combo from Victoria’s Secret for $15
7. Lovespell lotion, body mist, and bubble bath combo from Victoria’s Secret for $15



Also, I still have money left, and I plan on spending it today. Oh, and Claire’s and Victoria’s secret gave me a redeemable rewards mabobbit, so I’ll be going back there next weekend.

New Word

For words that are waaaaaaaaaay too long to say we have contractions. Do not = Don't, for example. So, why don't we have one for "shut up". Which really takes too long to say. So, I've come up with a solution. Shu'p. So, if you're gonna leave a stupid comment, just shu'p!

A Special Tribute

As most of you know, I'm not patriotic. Whatsoever. But, today is Veteran's Day and I'd like to take a moment to post a special blog to thank everybody who's served our country. Whether or not a person likes America should not matter. Either way, we should all be grateful to the men and women who were brave enough to risk their lives to keep us safe. After all, their courage and wisdom transcends international and political divides. So, do your job as a citizen today, and thank a soldier. Veterans and current soldiers, thank you.

Random...

They say that dreams magnify reality and sometimes tell the future. Well, that's awesome, because I had a dream that my teacher moved to South Africa!
On a more serious note, we just recently had elections. Now, the republicans won back the house, but never fear. I know people who have bomb shelters. Anyway, now, in the spirit of fall, a pumpkin is now speaker of the house. Now, my question is, if we get attacked, and he dies, will he turn into Jack Skelington? And, if he does, will he still be speaker of the house?
It's funny; they always have voting at schools. Seriously! In the mornings, you'll see people with signs telling you who to vote for, just lined up outside the school. I find it annoying.
Oh, and for everyone who's reading this and who I'm sure doesn't care....MOM AND I ADOPTED 2 CATS! That's right. They just showed up at our doorstep, and now we've put out food and a blanket for them. One of them is really outgoing, he's named Franz, after Archduke Ferdinand; and the other one is terrified of everyone, her name is Skittles! YAY!
