Delayed.

I realize that it has been nearly 2 weeks since I last blogged about anything. Has nothing interesting happened to her? Or was she simply overwhelmed with so many things that she hasn't had time to write? Both actually...

I haven't had much go on these past couple of weeks but the stuff that I have had happen have left me in a daze. I recently stopped talking to my best friend of nearly 7 years, I purchased a laptop, and I realized what I might really want to do with my life now.

I am no longer on speaking terms with Jessica. She has called me about 3 times to talk and ends up talking about this boyfriend of hers. Her boyfriend happens to live in Scotland. Talk about a long distance relationship! Well, apparently she had already started school at Glasgow. Yes... That Glasgow. Last time I spoke to her on the phone, she had told me that her boyfriend didn't believe her. How he had told her to just prove to him that she had been in the U.K. And if she had been in the U.K., why didn't she go see him? I suggested to her that if she wanted, I could sign into my MSN messenger and talk to him for her. Well, I did and it didn't boil over too well. I ended up finding out that she had lied to both me and her boyfriend. About who her parents were. About her whole family. About what her hobbies are. Everything. It's like she was trying to reinvent herself for a high approval rating.

Let this be a lesson to everyone. Never try to change yourself. If you're going to change yourself, do it because you want to and not because you think someone will like you better because of it. I know that change is inevitable but it also doesn't mean that it has to be forced either.

So I bought a laptop. In fact, this is my first blog ever on the new laptop. I like it very much. Originally, I had a game plan as far as buying a laptop went. I figured that since Circuit City was going out of business, that it would have saved me at least $100-200 on a new laptop. Well, when I got there, there were only 3 models left. The cheapest one was $600. I figured that since I was there, I might as well browse. The sign outside said "30 Percent off" but apparently there was fine print in front of that and it said "Up to". Well, no wonder Circuit City couldn't stay in business...

I ended up buying my laptop at Best Buy. Smart move, yes I know. I also bought a wireless router for the house. Now my brother has wifi on his PSP Slim. Ahh, technology. It's marvelous. I also paid to have antivirus installed onto it the day I purchased it and the day after that, I bought a 2 year warranty for it.

As everyone should know, for all your computer accessory needs, you should go to the Internet, not the store where you bought it at. I recently bought a web cam for the laptop 3 days ago on eBay. It has a built-in microphone and night vision. The price of this web cam plus shipping? $5.93. Isn't China glorious? The only reason that I bought a new web cam and didn't use the one I had for the PC was because I couldn't find the installation software for it. I also bought that web cam from a Chinese shop on eBay for $9.95. It worked marvelously too. The next thing I'm thinking of buying is a USB port laptop fan, to cool down the laptop. That's $5.43 (yes, the fan and shipping).

So what does Ramune want to do with her life? I am fascinated to the max with cake decorating. I know for a fact that I want to open up my own shop to make and sell custom cakes. Increased interest for this came in the form of a wonderful show called Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. I thought about it and the more I did, I kept coming up with the same thing. I wanted to be more in charge of the market of the cakes than the actual labor. How I came about this is that I was thinking of opening up a jewelry store. I was looking up jewelry to buy and jewelry display stands. I also looked at shopping bags and other accessories.

I simply hate that aspect of myself. I don't want to be materialistic. I want to do something because it makes me happy, regardless of the amount of money I'll be making. Then I figured it out.

I can have both.
