Well, I'm getting a PlayStation 3, baby! Sony recently unveiled their new "slim" version of the PS3, with a starting price of $300. Oh, and it comes with a 120GB hard drive. Sweet, yeah? I'd say so. I decided to go ahead and buy it, along with two games: Killzone 2, and Metal Gear Solid 4. I'm so damn excited for it. But I'm in misery waiting. See, when my mom finally told me no to the laptop, I decided to just let it go. But, I also need a new mp3 player, which I was going to buy with the laptop. So I asked her if I could at least get the mp3 player. Her and my dad talked it over and said I could. It's a touchscreen Samsung P3 with bluetooth. So naturally, I'm getting some sweet bluetooth headphones with it, which also double as a headset for if I ever get a phone with bluetooth.
The P3 and headphones, along with a decent leather case for the P3, is about $300, exactly. So I transferred $365 (extra in case I decided to do rushed shipping) from my savings to my parents' bank account on Wednesday. On Thursday night, I found out about the PS3. I debated over it for hours, finally deciding that I would buy it. So, along with the games, everything comes out to $700. I had to transfer another $365 that night (bringing the total to $720), but it takes five days for the transfers to complete. Three days to transfer to an external bank, and two for the external bank to initiate a hold on the funds and confirm that the money is genuine. I won't have all the money until Tuesday, and I wish so bad I could just preorder the PS3 and the mp3 player and stop worrying about it, haha. But the PS3 doesn't ship until September 1, so I have plenty of time. It's just nerve-wracking sitting around waiting, haha. I have no idea how my family will respond to the PS3 showing up at the front door, but oh well!
I'm so excited, I even built a little shelf that's attached to our TV stand that can hold my Wii, PS2, and eventually the PS3. It also has a little cubby to hold my last five played games. It's going to be sweet. <3
Some other news is that me and Brandon made up, haha. Also on Thursday night, as it turns out. Our mutual friend, Kevin (kind of, since I don't really talk to him a lot), offered to help us talk it all out, haha. I agreed, and then waiting for Brandon to download and install MSN. I was so nervous, haha. I was shaking and got really cold. When he finally got in the chatroom, it all just kind of drifted away slowly. It was actually easier than I thought it would be. We both decided to just put it all behind us and start fresh. It feels awesome having Brandon back in my life again.
I would like to talk to Carolyn and patch things up there, but I don't quite know why she is so disliking of me at the moment. One night when I know I won't be forced to get off the internet abruptly, I'll be sure to IM her and try to work things out. I miss Carolyn, too.
