Another Reason Why I Can't Wait to Leave

[the_wanlorn]

The family computer was a piece of shit. It had been for a while, but no one wanted to deal with it. I finally got sick of it and requested a new computer, just for me, for my birthday. The deal was, I got the computer and nothing else for my birthday AND Christmas that year. I was okay with that, cuz it was a new computer. So, I got my new computer, it went in my room, I have to let everyone else use it when the other computer is being a shit, but whatever. It's still mine. And now, Da wants me to leave my computer here when I go to college. Um, excuse me? No. This is my computer. Not the family computer, not Da's computer, not Mum's computer, not Kerry's computer. MY computer. My LIFE is on this computer. My music, my movies, my files and games and programs. EVERYTHING. I can't fit all this on a laptop. This is MINE. So, unless he's going to replace all my presents that I would have gotten for that birthday and Christmas, AND get me a brand spanking new expensive sexy laptop for college AND figure out a way for me to bring the harddrive from this computer with me... fuck no. This is MINE. That is the POINT of presents. If they want a new computer, they can buy one for themselves. This is my fucking computer with all of my fucking stuff on it. *anger* We're spending 700 bucks to get me a cheap refurbished laptop and a wireless card to drag around to class (so I can talk to all my internet-friends while I'm in class but they don't know that ;-) ) and my main computer is coming with me. For fuck's sake if I'd wanted something new and cool to take to college with me, I woulda gotten a laptop like Mum actually wanted me to. Ugh, I don't care if I have to lug this thing up 12 flights of stairs like the ones in Stratton. I'm bringing this with me, damnit. GRAR HEAR MY ANGER ROAR!
