oh my fricking god!!!!!!!

new iPods! beautiful iPods! i suddenly decided to visit the apple website, and what comes up??? a BLACK iPod! Bernasty! Black iPod! here is your chance! and it's a U2 special edition so it comes with a U2 poster and a $50 iTunes voucher! so i get all excited and think, i MUST get that.

and then what do i see? iPod Photo! iPod in full colour! much as a black iPod is so damn cool, the Creative competition is really kicking in and this full-colour iPod is so much sexier than the Creative Zen media centre whatever thingy, because it's the same shape as a normal iPod! and because it's not a special edition, i can stick to my vow that i will not buy an iPod until after march common tests. i don't know if i can wait that long, and who knows, by then there might be an even newer, cooler version. but iPod in full colour is amazing! and it even comes in a 60 gig size, which i don't really need, and since the smallest is 40 gig it settles it for me that i can indeed have some use for 40 gig since i can store photos on it! afterwards i can save up for the belkin card reader so that while on vacation i'll never again have to worry about not even media cards for the camera. ohhhh my gawd so exciting!

in other news, my mother was really pissed off with me because i went for dance this morning against her will, and she was in a bad mood cos she had so much stuff to do for the party tonight and my maid was being eggshell-IQ-ish as usual. she does the most insanely foolish things which i can't care to recount now. geez. but anyway i got yelled at that did i really want to get involved in more cca stuff when i have such screwed up grades and blah blah blah. i can totally see where she's coming from, but it's a little late to be pulling out of the dance, and plus the dance is beautiful. she threatened that if i left for dance she wouldn't let me back in, but that's such an empty threat so i went anyway. my dad was also rather pissed off, and asked if i didn't want their input in my decisions anymore at all or some such nonsense. gah. so i went, and two hours later i get a call from my mom to ask when i'm getting back, and she opens the door when i ring the bell, so all's relatively fine. although again they're still trying to get me to reconsider. i really don't think pulling out is an option, however. and the dance is beautiful. sigh. must work hard during hols. and she's still stressing over the party having to be perfect, but currently they've gone to see the teachers and hopefully purvis and batchelor will say nice enough things to offset the salina and seah input. eek.

i want to go shoppppppppingggg. with lots of money to spend. :( although after this morning's fiasco i'm thinking that making my mum take me shopping might be a lost cause, since this morning she said that if i wasn't going to listen to her why should she take me shopping dadadadada. ok i have to go shower and get ready now. another mundane night of small talk coming up.
