Wowzers.
Do I have a lot to say or what.
I guess I will start at the beginning. On 12/23 my computer crashes. It will not go to windows. Naturally I freak out. Eventually it loads and everything is there but it is not acting right. It freezes and then goes to a black screen. I was just happy everything was still there. Then my iPod stops working. Wtf. So at about 11pm I call the apple store at valley faire mall and they are actually still open. The nice guy on the phone told me to come in the next day and they would fix it. I had a sense of urgency becuase the next day (24th) I was leaving for Las Vegas. I had a layover in Los Angeles and the layover was 2 hours and 45 minutes long so I wanted my iPod. I get to valley faire at about 10am and they tell me the hard drive in the iPod is broken and they give me a new one. I was happy about that.
I get back home and my comptuer wont even go to windows. Just a black screen. I`m fucked. So my dad says to bring the computer and leave it at his house and when he gets back from vacation he will fix it. This means I dont have my iPod though. Oh well at least I have the portable dvd player my mom got me for xmas.
Soooooo. I leave for vegas. Get there at about midnight. Scott's new house is so pretty! I am so happy for him. We have holiday on xmas day.
Here is my entire holiday haul-
a new stereo for my house, an iPod dock for the stereo to directly connect the iPod to the stereo, a car charger for my ipod, a flower vase from the MoMa, a hoodie that says EDGE on it (my dad got that from me- i was really happy, my sister got me about 150 dollars in Aveda products!, a pair of saddle shoes, a new pair of vans, a scarf, a new book, the nightmare before xmas dvd, a plane ticket to vegas, a bunch of money and a 50 dollar gift certificate to amazon.com which I purchased a sonicare toothbrush with.
Exciting!
So vegas was awesome. I had vegan doughnuts from Ronald`s and the best yellow curry I have ever had! Downside- on the trip home my sunglasses broke and now i have to get new ones.
Okay so heres the story about the trip home. Wowzers.
The plane leaves vegas on time. The flight is bumpy though. I get to LA and find out that the flight to SFO is delayed becuase of a storm in San Francisco. The flight leaves an hour or two late. It is so bumpy I thought I was going to die. A television fell from the top of the aircraft. total drama. I get there two hours late! My friend James was there with my cat and hes allergic to cats. all drama.
So I get to my car and Brooklyn is tearing up her cat carrier box. She gets out! I am freaking out. I pull over and get her back in it. She still gets out. So I figure it cannot be that bad with her in the car. Boy was I wrong. She tried to jump on the dash. So I pull over again freaking out. I eventually decide to put her in the drunk. I figure that it is better for her to be in there then cause me to crash on the mountain. She seems fine...
I get half way over the mountain and it is totally foggy. I am driving about 20 miles an hour (normally it is 50) and its pouring! I get to genwood and they are stopping traffic. A power poll fell and the man tells me to get off at glenwood, summit, or follow the cars to scotts valley. i figure I will just follow the cars. The road was sooo curvey and narrow the cars were going too fast. By now it is 2:15am. I am somewhere on the mountain, lost, crying, I just wanted to be home. I call my dad. At 2:15 in the morning. I wake him up crying and freaking out. He tells me to keep driving while he gets a map and to calm the eff down. I finally reach a dead end. Turn around and get back to the highway. But I have back tracked to I am up having to drive back to where I was told to get off the road. By now my dad finds and map and tells me to get off where I was before and turn left instead of right. I do and eventually end up in scotts valley. By now it is 3:45 am. I got home a little after 4. Oh man.
Brooklyn is fine she fell asleep in a box in my drunk. I go to sleep and sleep until 2pm the next day. (new years eve)
I pick up my computer today and its working fine. Turns out the harddrive broke and I needed to get a new one. But this means that everything is gone. EVERYTHING. All of my iTunes. Which is bad becuase I have sooo much music. All of my school work. Every single photo I have ever taken. 7,000 photos. EVerything.
Upside is that I now have a hard drive that is twice as big.
But! My ipod wont work. My dad took it and is going to try and figure out what is wrong.
That is the story.
