Through the fire and flames
That's the bizarre thing about my parents... We're not poor, in fact we earn *ahem ahem* over the average income in England [tbh I don't know by how much, just that this is true, but we're not rich.], yet they seem to refuse to buy anything new. I mean I got my first GBA about 3 years after it was first released, my PS1 about 4 years, and my PS2 about 3 years. My mobile phone, I've had for 5 years, and even when I first got it, it was considered 'old'.
EVEN THIS COMPUTER, that I'm using now, is the family hand-me-down piece of shit *pats computer in the hope it doesn't crash at this point* from, what, 6 years? My parents say they won't buy me another, even though this one has like, no memory left and is about as useful as an abacus in a STEP exam.
Yet a couple of months ago they forked out £X for a new laptop for my sister, because her idiot boyfriend spilt wine on the keyboard of her old (one year old) one. (BUY A NEW KEYBOARD!!)
But I am quite proud of my Creative Zen and my small but nice camera... they're like the only things I own that are worth something. My Zen has 30 Gigs of memory, which is nice, even though it makes a loud CLUNK noise every minute or so for no seemingly good reason. And my camera, although it can have rediculously shit quality when taking pictures in anything darker than day-time-light, can only accept special memory cards. And these cards have a 3D viewing-specialness. Yeah, baby!!
BTW sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy doing my UCAS uni forms. No I haven't - I've been making a cat-related video of which the concept amused me at the time, and I plan to put on YouTube.
I have more plans for YouTube, but my idea hasn't been done yet so I'm not saying in case some jerk steals it.
