Wednesday's blog was the 69th post. I just thought I should announce that ... be a perv and laugh.
So how did I spend 8.8.08 you ask?
Pretty much like every other day. I woke up at 12:21pm, had leftovers for lunch and lounged in front of my computer for a couple hours. I decided to be active around 2:30pm so I jogged 15 mins on the eliptical, I only did a mile and a quarter but I was sweating like none other because I didn't have my fan on nor my window open. Being the only room on the second floor means I get all the heat! Super fun let me tell you. I did some crunches, pumped some iron (20 repetitions is barely pumping but whatever) then took an incredibly cold shower.
Went back to my computer and watched my favorite Pam Beesly episode, ie The Dundies where Pam gets plastered at Chili's. The Whitest Sneakers Award, good for Pam. Oh yea and then there was that first Jam/PB&J kiss. I <3 Jim Halpert.
For some reason .. aka I just found out about this new film poking fun at 50s sexploitation B films called Bitch Slap! ... I wanted to watch Grindhouse, so I did. I only have the Planet Terror half though, but it was still good and I still shudder when Dr. Block pops the boil or whatever on that guy's tongue and when Dakota breaks her wrist in the door.
More Internet surfing produced nothing much at all. I saw the world premiere of Morningwood's new video for their new song "Sugarbaby" on FNMTV on MTV and watched like three seconds of the Olympics opening ceremonies. Like it says on my Facebook: Emma prefers slutty puppets to olympic games. I went on Morningwood's MySpace and watched the last in a series of Blog Mitzvah's where Chantal (the lead singer) and her husband Jimmy (not in the band at all) answer questions from fans. They are so fucking hilarious together. Especially when Chantal called some girl a bitch at least 30 times.
I needed a picture for a character I'm working up and decided to use Jemina Pearl, the lead singer of Be Your Own Pet, so I spent a good hour looking through trillions of pics of her and the band.
Yesterday was my last day or work, it was boring as hell, I'm glad to be done. I had to write a thank you e-mail to my boss today though. I think he talked to me directly only two times the whole summer (and I was sitting right outside of his office).
My text books for school cost $497.82. I'm going to try and order my laptop from Dell tomorrow. It's an Inspiron 1420 in Midnight Blue, my dad just has to confirm that he likes it considering he and my mom are paying me back for it separately.
My closet is a mess.
Two weeks until I move back to school.
Oyster crackers are delicious.
kthxbye.

I count all the stars in space
For the past three and a half hours I have been quite heavily submersed in the most magical love story I have ever read.
My head is now high in the clouds and my room is filled with sighs long past yet I feel downtrodden. My heart is reaching out, grasping at nothing but thin air and I am saddened, deeply and thoroughly. It's stories that evoke such precious emotion that make me reflect, make me think upon myself and the life I have yet to live.
Help is non-existent in the lilting phrases and gentle honey caress of Norah Jones whispering from my speakers.
The dark of night holds only the solace of my mind and thoughts buried deep during the light of day. It isn't safe alone in my room when the house is quiet and my mind is screaming, struggling against subconscious restraints. It's never safe.
I wish only to love and be loved, to care and be cared for. A wish the stars ignore having grown weary of the constant need of the human race. The stars hold no hope for me.

It's a night of reflection
Eating oyster crackers makes me feel like a 2-year-old. I can't decide if that's a good thing.
I was once told, by a good friend, that I'd never have kids. She could never see me having kids, and it hurt at the time to hear her say that but it's something I've come to understand over time. I love kids sure, I love other people's kids 'cause I don't have to take them home. I love my little brother but I have no patience when it comes to teaching him anything. I just expect him to understand what I'm talking about with little to no explanation. It could be different with my own children, but you never know.
They say you're the product of your surroundings. If I grew up in Indiana I think I'd be fucked up. There are things I think about late at night: if I didn't move to Indiana what would I have been like? Would I have the same personality, would I like the same things, would I do the same things?
Sometimes I get this twitch in my bottom right eyelid. My mom says it's from stress and then she tries to pry out my thoughts, tries to get me to talk about whatever it is that doesn't allow me to go to sleep when I get in bed. I don't talk, I never do.
Sometimes I cry because I hate myself. It's not a volatile, pain-inflicting hate, it's a hate filled with criticism for faults and appearances and lack of courage. It's one of those things that keeps me up late at night. One of those things that makes me feel like I need a psychiatrist, or a friend to pour my heart out to, or a blog to say whatever the fuck I want.
Nobody reads this. Sometimes I think it's a good thing. I've got false courage when my voice isn't projecting, when it's just my thoughts in a visual stream of words. But sometimes I want to write things, want to get things off my chest, but I'm afraid that people will read, that people will criticize, they'll laugh, they'll mock, they'll shy away, run away.
Sometimes I try to make some newly-found aspects of myself blatantly obvious, yet people ignore them. Or at least they don't care enough to acknowledge that something big has happened to me this summer. That something profound has occurred.
I like going out in crowds. I like watching people. I like lust at first sight. I like smiling at strangers. I like meeting new people. I like hustle. I like bustle. I like noise. I like confusion.
I love gummi worms
& mystery novels
& the shuffle function on my iTunes.
kthxbye.

V-hole, say what?
I was actually kept pretty darn busy at work today which amazed me as I've been short of things to do for at least the past two weeks. In the morning I was doing a bunch of little stuff for my mom and a little (ie 10 mins worth) of database checking then we were off to a meeting a lunch downtown at The City Market. They're have a fundraiser dinner/party thinger for People Helping People who are feeding children in El Salvador and the president (of El Salvador), his wife is coming for the even so they were just planning all during the meeting. Our store has a kitchen in the Market (I don't remember if I've mentioned that before) so our chefs are going to cook out there for a little bit, serve little appetizers and stuff.
My mom and I had lunch from this Italian place, I had some really good pasta salad and she had chicken salad, we both had pieces of a baguette. I got this really good drink from Naked (that's the company name kids) and it was this really thick almost smoothie like strawberry-banana concoction. Delicious.
Went back to work and got started on some binders for the builders. Spent the rest of the day printing and sleeving and putting together the binders. I was working as slowly as I could but I still managed to finish by the end of the day. Hopefully my mom will have something for me to do tomorrow.
Came home and jumped on the Internets. Did my normal checking around and watched the newest episode of This Just Out with Liz Feldman. So, she's awesome, she crashed the Pride parade in San Fransisco (ie she marched with whoever she wanted) and she even hijacked a float, and by hijacked I mean she got a girl to let her sit on the float with her. And, of course, all the while she was waving her Disneyy Gay Sword. To quote Liz: "By the power of Gay Sword!" She had Melanie Lynskey on who is the sweetest New Zealander ever in the universe. Liz was trying to get her to have a cursing throw-down and Melanie could barely manage four curse words. It was hilarious.
I watched two episodes of The Office and a couple episodes of The Whitest Kids You Know 'cause I felt like laughing some more. Had some super extra freakin' delicious pizza for dinner and then surfed the Internets again.
I only have two more days of work left. I have to go to the doctor in the morning to get my last Guardasil shot which is overdue by like 2 months I think, lol. My mom procrastinates just as much as I do! I was going to watch Rocky Horror but I think I'm just going to read instead since I have to get up early. I still <3 books.
Chocolate ice cream is delicious.
My cats hate when I hug them after a shower.
My back hurts.
kthxbye.

I'm becoming a book collector
Nearly 18 days 'til I'm back at school. I'm starting to become terribly impatient.
Friday I slept in until almost 1pm. It was amazing. My sunburn ached and my ears were still ringing but I felt incredibly refreshed. The Internet held me captive until near 6:30pm when Girl's Night kicked into gear. We (ie me and four friends) went to a aint your own pottery place and proceeded to ... well paint our own pottery. I painted a mug but I didn't have much of an idea of what to paint when I got there so I just picked some pretty colors and did whatever, and wrote my name too. We ate a very late dinner at Appleby's and I had Three Cheese Chicken Penne, soooo GOOD.
When I got home (around 11) I wasn't all that tired. The Internet took me captive again, doing what I really can't remember, until 2am when I settled into my book. I finished it by 3:10am and pretty much just straight konked out as soon as the lights were out.
Woke up Saturday morning at 11 and went to the new Goodwill outlet. It's basically just bins of stuff you shift through. I bought 4 books, 3 were 25cents and the fourth was 50cents. I'm awesome.
The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood
Girl With A Pearl Earing by Tracy Chevalier
The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier
The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
I <3 books.
Went to Target and I bought a new button down grey shirt (amazing) then went to Office Depot to get school supplies for everybody. When I got home I was in an organizing mood so I got all my school supplies collected up and they're now sitting in a box and a container next to my desk. At 7:10pm a friend came and picked me up and we went to see the new Mummy movie and let me tell you, piece of crap.
It was corny as hell, there was too much CGI, Rachel Weisz wasn't in it. That last one was what really got me. There was some pretty good action and Brendan Fraser is pretty funny but they didn't have the real Evey so I was like feck that shat betch. We got some ice cream at Coldstone (french vanilla and heath pieces <33) and just talked about a lot of stuff. One of the girl's I went with used to live in Indiana but moved to Arizona and then her family moved back to Indiana but she goes to college in Arizona (yea) so she talked about school there. They have an tunnel system under their campus and they go spelunking on the weekends. I wish I had something that cool to do on my campus.
Today I slept in until 12:30pm, I have no reason why. Nobody really bothered to wake me up. Internets, House MD and more Internets. I went fishing in the local park and was the first and only one in the family to catch a fish. A cute little bluegill, don't worry we let him go. It was hot as balls out so we left after an hour and came home to eat dinner. I watched another episode of House MD and finally put my Warped Tour pictures on Facebook. Oh oh oh, I re-watched the whole first season of BJ Fletcher Private Eye, I really need a "Lock and Load" tee shirt. I also watched the new Brunch with Bridget and laughed so hard because Cathy Shim was on!! I <3 her ... she got Bridget half-naked ... mind you the naked was behind a Chinese fan but still.
Over the past three days I listened to TAT's EP 23 times. It's only 16 minutes long but seriously, that's kind of bad even for me considering it's only 5 songs, so now I'm on shuffle. It's been pretty kind so far.
Tomorrow I have to leave the house by 8am so my mom and I can leave early, for what reason I have no idea. Three more days of work <33.
Tatiana DeMaria, I still <3 you.
Coldplay is freakin' awesome.
I have lots of books.
kthxbye.

Warped Tour 2008
Ah Warped Tour, why must you be so amazing? Took us 30 mins to get to the concert exit, 15 mins to park and 30 minutes to get inside, that's just about 11:20ish I should think. After snagging a band list and map I headed out to see Cobra Starship at the Highway 1 stage.
Gabe, skinny jeans, bright colors, fuck you all attitude. Vicki had her keytar! <33 I took a lot of pictures and was pretty sweaty by the time they finished. They a 25ish minute set with 6 songs I think. After that I headed out to the merch tents before Katy Perry. I bought a Cobra Starship t-shirt, a Warped Tour '08 canvas bag ($2 heck yes) and a Charlotte Sometimes t-shirt.
Katy Perry was playing under the amphitheater (@ Hurley.com stage) so I headed over a half hour early to get a good place. The band before was Oreskaband, a Japanese ska group, I was like wtf? All these tiny Japanese girls wielding brass instruments, it was crazy but still pretty good. I ended up 2ND ROW at Katy Perry. I swooned and took a massive amount of pictures. She had the letters K & P on her butt, lol. There was a really big sweaty guy up front who kept screaming "I love you Katy Perry" "You're so hot" and he was talking to her (without her answering of course) when she was talking to the audience between songs. He kept pushing up to the front to try and grab her hand when she came up close and I had to keep shoving him backwards 'cause he was trampling me and these two girls next to me. I got a security guard's attention and had him keep an eye on the guy but then this drunk girl and her girlfriend push their way to the front and she keeps trying to climb over the front and the security guard had to forcefully push her backwards off the fence. It was pretty funny. But anyways, Katy at one point during the show said "I like girls" and I know it's a lie but seriously I was all a flutter. She also had a fake phone call from her dad. She had a cute pink Fender electric guitar and an acoustic. One of her guitarists had a sparkly silver guitar. <33
After Katy I kicked around the merch tents and discovered this incredibly fantastic band from London called TAT. Okay so they shredded really hard and the first reason I went over there was because I heard the girl's voice and she sounded just like Maja Ivarsson from The Sounds so I was like, omg <33. I went over and Tatiana de Maria, wow is she a fox and she's British so she's got an amazing accent and she can play the guitar like no girl I've ever seen. She poured an energy drink down her pants ... I caught the can when she threw it out but I threw it away, no sense in keeping an empty can. Anyways I bought their EP and had her and the bassist sign it. I got a pic with her and chatted about how much she sounds like Maja. She took it as a very big compliment because she loves Maja and toured with The Sounds at the 2006 Warped Tour, which I didn't fucking go to because I'm a loser.
I took a couple pics of Say Anything, walked around the merch tents again, caught some Angels & Airwaves then went and saw TAT's acoustic set where I sat up front. Did I mention Tatiana is fucking gorgeous? I listened to a couple Anberlin songs then went back to the amphitheater and saw Ludo! I was 3rd row this time, lots of pics, lots of loud scream-singing. Saw Charlotte Sometimes at the Ernie Ball stage and took lots of pics, I was front row. <33 Went to her tent for the signing, gave her the sign I made her, she gave me a hug and I got her and her boys to sign a poster for me. She is such a sweetheart. She had a double ear infection over the weekend so I asked her if she was feeling better and fortunately she was, she actually had to skip a show because of it.
I took some pics of All Time Low for my friend then took some pics of Relient K and Motion City Soundtrack too. By the time we got back to the car it was 8:10ish and I was burnt to a crisp on my shoulders and upper back. I looked like total shit and was covered in a thick layer of sweat and dirt and grit. SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait 'til next summer.
Ate chili and rice and cheese when I got home. Chugged a water bottle. Took a cold shower. Slathered myself in aloe and then surfed the Internets and watched the new episode of Fear. This guy got lost in the mountains, got possessed by a Windigo (wind demon spirit thinger), came home looking like a zombie, ate a horse, killed a ranch hand, killed his brother and tried to kill his wife and two sons. Turns out the sons weren't his but were his brother's. The wife shot him with a shot gun. It was pretty good, made me jump a little once which is always cool.
Now I'm going to read and sleep for eighty billion hours.
I'm fucking tired.
My ears are ringing.
I spent $90 on all of Warped Tour (ticket included).
kthxbye.

What's up?
Work was relatively interesting today, I was pretty surprised. I made a damn pretty calendar on Excel for my mom and since I was working slowly I ended up working for a little more than an hour. I did a little databasing using my amazing fast alt+tab skills to surf the Internet for pics of the bands I'm going to see at Warped tomorrow.
I can't remember if they have mini-posters or anything for the bands to sign so I made some sheets with pics of them to sign in case they don't have anything or if they run out. I read about the bands online and tried to learn the names of the members or re-learn them because I forgot some. Maybe if I type them out I'll remember better...
Charlotte Sometimes: Charlotte (vocals), Spencer (drums), Coley (keys), PJ(guitar) & Shaun (bass).
Ludo: Andrew (vocals & guitar), Tim (guitar), Convy (keys), Marshall (bass) & Matt (drums).
Okay maybe that'll help. I went downtown for lunch and met up with a rep from Emmis Communications, they own a lot of radio stations all over the country. She gave us a tour of the corporate headquarters which was really awesome. There were sound booths everywhere and the offices were really cool. We went to a place called The Capitol Grille for lunch and I had this massive cheeseburger, it was delicious but it kept falling apart and I couldn't finish it. Did some stuff on the web site and helped some of the builder guys with some mild tech support (aka they can't use Excel, lol) and looked up some more pictures.
Got home and immediately set to work on my signs, I ended up spending so much time on Katy Perry's that I only made Charlotte Sometimes a sign too. I've actually decided I don't want to wait in line to meet Cobra Starship so I can go and shmooze around the merch tables and make friends. I'm gonna still try and loiter around the WEI booth and I have more bands to see so I can take some pictures for a friend. At the moment I only really want to see Katy, Charlotte & Ludo. I could live without Ludo but Andrew was such a sweetheart at the 500 so I kind of want to see him again and give him another hug.
My signs actually took me a total of about 3 hours which is crazy as hell. I copied fonts off dafont.com, I <3 that web site. So yea I picked out my final outfit for tomorrow and have all my shit packed up but I'm still waking up 45 mins early to make sure I've got everything settled. It's not supposed to rain during the day but there is possibility for storms at night but hopefully it'll be late at night 'cause I don't really know how long Warped will go on tomorrow. Don't know band play times 'til tomorrow either.
I've got lots of money to spend. I'm thinking about two t-shirts at the moment. Maybe some random shit, idk. Fun, fun, fun.
Katy Perry I love you.
Andrew <333.
SPF70 fer shur.
kthxbye.
I can't remember if they have mini-posters or anything for the bands to sign so I made some sheets with pics of them to sign in case they don't have anything or if they run out. I read about the bands online and tried to learn the names of the members or re-learn them because I forgot some. Maybe if I type them out I'll remember better...
Charlotte Sometimes: Charlotte (vocals), Spencer (drums), Coley (keys), PJ(guitar) & Shaun (bass).
Ludo: Andrew (vocals & guitar), Tim (guitar), Convy (keys), Marshall (bass) & Matt (drums).

Ring around the rosey
I spent at least 6 of my 7ish work hours doing database shite today. I got from H all the way to P which I'll just pick back up tomorrow. My mom almost gave me the day off tomorrow 'cause she didn't have anything for me to do but then remembered that we had a lot of out of the office meetings so I'm working again.
Procrastination during databasing is almost inescapable so today I surfed the forums at Warped Tour. I figured out that people don't like Katy Perry being at Warped but she does sound good live. Charlotte Sometimes apparently sounds fantastic live and bands like to be given gifts by their fans. I also learned about WEI, the Warped Eco-Initiative, which goes around and helps recycle bottles and cans around the concert grounds so even though I didn't sign up to volunteer I'm going to try and get in to help with whatever it is they're doing.
The sign I'm going to make for Katy Perry will say something along the lines of: "Katy's My Killer Queen / Lolita Queen with Killer Pipes" but that's not anything definite. I'm going to do the signs tomorrow after I get home from work but while I'm at work I'm going to print out some good pictures of my favorite bands on the purty color printer so I can have something for them to sign. It's supposed to rain at some point on Thursday so I'm hoping that I'll get stuck under a tent with a band I like and we become the best of friends, lol. Gotta be optimistic. I at least want to get a hug from Katy Perry or at least another one from Andrew from Ludo, or maybe one from Charlotte the lead singer of Charlotte Sometimes (she's supposed to be a sweetheart).
I went to this restaurant called The Mongolian Grill for lunch (I don't really know what's Mongolian about it). Basically you make a bowl full of stuff like meat and veggies and the like and they fry it up for you and then you eat it with rice. Katy Perry followed me from the office to the car to the restaurant. My mom says: "I hear this song at least once a day," and I was thinking I listen to this song at least 3 times a day. So I got hit on by the guy cooking our food, it was weird with my mom there, but he was kinda cute.
When I got home from work we (my dad, brother and I) set off to see The X Files: I Want to Believe. I ate too much buttery popcorn and had a refill on my orange slushie. Basically it was just and extended episode of The X Files tv show which I definitely didn't mind, I just kind of expected a little more. The plot was that this guy was really sick with cancer and he had his people kidnap other people and transplanting body parts to his severed head. It was so fuckin' weird, but I <3 Dana Scully. It's weird, I don't usually root for couples on TV but I distinctly remember wanting Dana & Fox to get together and in the movie they're a couple which made me happy. I figured that my replacement couple for Dana & Fox is Bones & Booth from Bones on FOX.
After reading an article on AfterEllen about Michaela Conlin (Angela Montenegro from Bones), I stumbled upon www.obsessedwithbones.com which is a blog in which they, you guessed it, obsess about Bones. I watched a couple videos from the panel they did at this year's Comic Con and Hart Hanson (the creator) said that Booth and Bones would be naked in a bed together this season. My jaw actually dropped. At some point during the interview Michaela was talking about how her ex-gf will be showing up in Season 4 and David Boreanaz (Booth) goes: "She kissed a girl and she liked it ... Booth likes it." I laughed so damn hard.
I started watching The Eye with Jessica Alba because my mom rented it and it's due tomorrow. I got about 40 minutes in and completely lost interest. I mean Alba is pretty and all and Parker Posey is in it too but I just didn't like it.
My day was chalk full of Warped band music. My friend said she might get somebody to work for her on Thurs. so that she could go but then I told her the tickets were $37 and she changed her mind. So ... I'm going stag at Warped.
I'm tired.
My neck hurts.
Parker Posey is a fantastic name.
kthxbye.

Wonderful electric
Cat Power, Keane, Katy Perry, Goldfrapp & Kasabian. Database fix to the extreme. I would say, out of the 7ish hours I worked today at least 5 of them had something to do with that stupid database. I've actually come to like doing it though because it's really easy and I can focus on my music and surf the Internet via that fantastic alt+tab function.
Got home and my mom had me drive to my brother's school to drop off his registration paperwork then I took the highway back one exit, lol. That was my first time on the highway, it wasn't too horrible considering the speed limit is 55 around Indy because the population is so concentrated. It's not that I'm that scared of driving I'm just scared that I might fail my driver's test which would bum the fuck out of me. My mom still wants me to try and get my license before I go to school and I think I could fit the test in because I've only got 5 days of work left.
But anyways I'm super freakin' pumped for Warped Tour even though I haven't heard if my travel buddy is going with me. Either way, with or without a tag-along, I think I'll have a good time, as long as it doesn't rain. I've decided pretty much what I'm wearing and what I'm bringing with me.
NEW EPISODE OF THIS JUST OUT WITH MY BUDDY LIZ FELDMAN! I'm so happy to have my weekly dose of the Feldman magic back in my life. She did an "in the field" kind of thing where her and her friend Raimy (ray-mee) shot video of Dolores Park in San Fransisco during Pride, it was scary as hell. There were wall-to-wall lesbians and these women in leather, oh dear. But Liz drank made rainbow Gaytorade, aka layered jello in rainbow colors, and drank it out of a straw. "We're [her and Raimy] are no Rachel Ray, but we could be Rachel Gay."
Work again tomorrow. Should be pretty darn fun. [/sarcasm]
Stir-fry is delicious.
I <3 KT Tunstall.
School now please!
kthxbye.

School needs to start soon
I spent most of my Friday sitting in my room messing around on my computer, like I always do. I swear I really need to get some sort of active hobby or something, I spend way too much time in front of this damn laptop. I watch some VMars and talked to the girls a little on the phone on their way down.
They got here around 7:30pm and we went over to our other friends to spend the night. We ended up ordering pizza for dinner and driving around downtown for a real quick tour. By the time we got back our other friend was there so we spent the night just relaxing and talking, it was pretty cool. On Saturday we all woke up around 10:30am ('cause we're awesome) and then headed off for our pool party at another friend's house. Another friend met us there and we just goofed off in the pool all afternoon. I got a pretty good sunburn 'cause I was too anxious to get in the pool to properly apply my SPF 70. We had squirt guns and water toys and we did cannonballs and took obnoxious pictures (Facebook here we come). I pulled my superhero towel pose from last summer and we grilled out for linner.
Went back and took showers to get all clean then hung out some more. We went downtown again but just in time for the mall to close so we ended up just walking around downtown and taking more pictures. Got back and did more hanging out. We watched Step Up 2 and I drooled over Briana Evigan again. Oh I also got to eat chocolate cake that my special ladies brought for my belated bday. We got some special drink delivered a little later in the night so some of us (not me, I felt too guilty) did a little drinkin' while we watched the end of Step Up 2 and after everybody went to bed. Those certain someones also didn't go to bed until 6am, made too much fucking noise while we were all trying to sleep and almost stepped on me while I was sleeping on the floor. Bitches need to get it straight. Mind you parents of the occupied house were gone for the weekend so there wasn't much worry there.
Woke up the next morning and said some early goodbyes then went back to bed, got back up, packed up and said some more goodbyes. I got home abso-posolutely exhausted and collapsed on my bed for more Internet and VMars. I watched last week's episode of Fear starring Brandon Routh (Superman) and Shiri Appleby, I can never remember what she's from but she looks so familiar. It wasn't all that good and I don't know if I'm going to like next week's either.
Oh I watched the new Brunch With Bridget vlog and laughed my ass off. I always look forward to Sundays, I don't know how many times I can say that.
"Knowledge is so informational."
Bridget why are you so amazing?
I created a superheo profile for an RP today, or rather I finished it because I was working on it on Friday. Electricity manipulation ftw! I miss Heroes, it needs to come back right now.
I NEED TO SEE THE X FILES MOVIE!!!
I need to get my new laptop.
Oreos are delicious.
kthxbye.
