:O !!!
I JUST BOUGHT A LAPTOP.
*FLAIL-AIL-AIL*
"You pay the difference over a thousand dollars,' says my dad to me this morning, apropos of nothing. I look at him as if he has tentacles on his head. "That's the bad news," he says. "The good news is, you a thousand dollars to spend on the system of your choice."
"System?" I ask, and am, yes, most suspicious.
"Lapt--"
"IGETALAPTOP?!"
And, yeah, there was much flailing and giddy little squeaks and general happiness, and then I remembered about PLC being officially NOT DEAD YET HOORAY and it just got worse.
So~. I'm pleased.
I'm also soaking wet and freezing, but that's another matter entirely.

Sort of. Well, no. It plays a roll in the amount of attention I pay the members. But liking the members and liking their talent/music are two totally different things.

(They rotate.)
