Seriously, Can Someone Do This For Me....

With help from my new crush, I am narrowing down my computer search.

Everyone at work seems to have an opinion about me and my new computer. Get one that will be able to play all of your sim games. Have one that you can use for your upcoming production career. Get a Mac.

My head has been bombarded with computer related jargon, and I just don't get any of it. I hate making decisions, and outside of choosing what college I would apply to when I was in high school, this decision has been incredibly hard.

But when I thought I was drowning in computer buying hell, a new and promising friend came to the rescue. His name is Matt. He works in the music department. I may kind of have a major crush on him. Sue me.

He usually works at the bookstore during holiday breaks (he went to school in another state) but after graduating last semester he has been working at the store full time. Everyone has always said great things about him. He's the best. He's so nice and caring. He will do anything for a friend. But I wasn't completely sold on him. I mean outside of saying Hi to me our conversations have been few to none.

But with him being there more often, I realize that everyone was right and Matt is awesome. And by awesome I mean he is amazing. He entertains me with silly faces and embarrassing impressions (yes, I am 23. But damn it all to hell, I crack up when someone does something silly faces) and in regards to my computer thing he has helped me narrow it down based on my needs. MY needs! Can I date this guy already or what. Too bad he has that girlfriend and all.

Anyway, the last week we have been going over what I need from a computer and what computer will satisfy that. He told me the HP will break up with me after a year, and that Macs are overrated. Dells are pretty reliable (where have I heard that before) and that sonys are all right but it's a pretty penny. He then introduced me to Gateway computers, who I have avoided all these years because of their stupid cow logo. But after some research, the gateway has potential. Outside of a few issues, it could be the computer of my dreams.

So i told him about this. And he said "we can run over the specifics together, before you buy it". Run over the specifics together. Damn, why does he have to have a girlfriend. I am fun, and cute, and though my silly faces are not as good as his I can crack jokes like no one else.

This week has been shit. But where it has been good, it has been really good. Like Matt. And by next week (or tomorrow if I'm real luck), I will own a computer. Thank God!

I'm heading to best buy right now, where I will no doubt ask stupid questions to all the employees.

Wish me luck!
