apple store, let's just be friends

I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER YOU GUYS

YOU GUYS

IT IS NEW AND SHINY AND NEWWWWWWWW

Let us flash backward nine days to last Saturday. I was newly pierced and bearing a Latin book signed by one P. Wentz, and I was in the Apple store with [livejournal.com profile] etben.

Me: Everything in the entire computer is broken.
Apple Dude: Oh! Uhm. It should all be covered by your warantee, barring unforseen circumstances.
[livejournal.com profile] etben: Unless you, like, open it and find half a tuna fish sandwich, right?
Me: Hahahaha!
Her: Hahahaha!
Him: Haha. That won't... happen, right?
Me: I don't eat tuna!

But a week later, I got a call. SADLY, MY DISLIKE OF TUNA DID NOT PREVENT THEM FROM DECIDING I BROKE MY COMPUTER. Apparently there was ancient water damage that had made things rusty? Which they decided was not their fault for selling me a casing that cracked? I just. Whyyyy is this my life. It would have been $800 to repair, and that computer had had problems from DAY ONE, so it just. Didn't seem worth it.

ON THE PLUS SIDE, NEW COMPUTERRRRRRRRRR THAT IS A MACBOOK AND IT IS SHINY AND WHITE AND HAS THE NEW OPERATING SYSTEM AND I AM DOWNLOADING PROGRAMS AND FIREFOX EXTENSIONS LIKE A MAD THING

HELP ME NAME IT YOU GUYS

Name it "Peen Wentz". DO IT.

*g*

I'm getting a laptop for Christmas... a Dell Inspiron. I'm all nervous about it. Also, WOW, wireless internet is fucking expensive. I'm gonna have to do research to find the cheapest possible, but... I'm sure that still won't be cheap.

Oh my God, I hate you. I can't say that in public.

I AM SO TEMPTED. MAYBE I CAN BLAME THE WHOLE BROKEN COMPUTER THING ON HIM!

Man, I knowwww. I am fully aware of my ridiculous luck in having my parents still pay for this shit. ♥parents♥! I do not look forward to this thing they call the real world.

...Stumph? That's a good one, too. *g*

(Mine will be named Bob. Because everything I get that deserves a name becomes Bob. I debated about Ziggy for a while, what with my intense love of David Bowie, but... Bob always wins. I'm gonna be like George Foreman and have seven kids and name them all Bob. *g*)

Dude, I still live with my parents. Well, not still, more like again. But I always pay for my internets... and DSL is a hell of a lot cheaper than wireless will be. *PFFT*

I think there is not an Apple laptop in repair in existence that does not cost exactly $800 to fix. Apple did the same thing to me, THREE TIMES. (Well, the first time, my quiet refusal to get off of the line or to take responsibility for their damaged equipment actually intimidated them into compliance, and the third time, I sent them the case and they only sent me the estimate after fixing it, so it's probably been sold to some poor sap as a refurbished model by now, perhaps along with the Absolute Power DVD that was trapped inside the slot drive at the time of death.)

I've always had pretty good experiences with Apple, mostly because I have AppleCare, so mostly they just say, "Give it to us and we will MAKE IT BETTER." But this one was just. Not a good experience at all. Ughhhhh Apple why you gotta be like that, baby? I'm sorry yours have sucked so hard, too! :( :(

I VOTE that you name this one GWay. Because it is precious! AND ALSO VERY PALE.

Mine doesn't have a name. I just call it baby and stroke it when it's being temperamental. When this happens in public, I sometimes get odd looks.

I think you should go for Peen Wentz. You can call it PW in public.
