The best parents/birthday present ever!

As you all know my birthday came and went yesterday, and my present-a new, HP Pavillion laptop! I am writing this entry on it right now! I love it. It has everything I could ever hope for. Microsoft Office 2007, and a built-in webcam! I just wanted to tell you that.

HOLY #@$%@$@!!!!!!
I hate you.
Once the strike is over, I won't be able to use my mom's laptop.
Mine's broken.
My sister has some stupid Pixie Hollow game.

Good thing we have more Wii games.

Jessica said...

By the way, there was totally a need for language there.

Ghazal said...

It is black and shiny. I am sorry, I forgot to add that. I am sorry I reminded you, but I needed to tell everyone (namely Jameson and you) about a historic milestone in my life. Again, really sorry.

Jessica said...

That's ok, not your fault. I mean, I'm not jealous or anything.........

Ghazal said...

You sound like Melanie.

Jessica said...

I do, don't I?

Ghazal said...

Yes, yes you do.

Oh my goodness, you will not believe what I got on the security code.

"premest" : You can only guess what this reminds me of.

Jessica said...

Oh my God.
I'm laughing inside, trust me.
Prem-est?
So most like Prem(me or the real Prem???)

Happy Birthday and lucky i can only get a new laptop if i make it in ibt and sorry i didnt say happy b-day before

Anonymous said...

Congradulations!
I'm jealous. Will you bring it to school so I can steal it?
Poor you Kanishkan. Your laptop will be so full of work that it will probably break down when you try to play pinball (assuming you actually have enough tome for it).

Ghazal said...

Thank you Kanishkan, and Jameson (not for wanting to steal my new laptop).

**To Jameson: I am really sorry to have to say this, I know how annoying it can get, and you have my full permission to ignore me if you so wish, but... you spelled congratulations wrong.

Jessica said...

I want to steal it.
Wanna have a New Year's Party at your house, Ghazal?

Well, if Kanishkan's overloaded with work, he'll beg me to edit it, and then I'LL be overloaded with work.
It's a vicious circle.

And why are you sorry you didn't say Happy Birthday, Kanishkan? -hint hint-

Anonymous said...

I'll make you a deal. How about the first person to steal it get one year with it, then the other gets 6 months, and person 1 gets another year.

**To Ghazal: No, you spelt it wrong. Yours has a T while mine has a D.

Jessica said...

Congradulations is wrong(you cannot disagree with the power of Firefox).
And I'll take you up on that, Jameson.

Ghazal said...

None of you are going to steal my laptop! I always keep it close to me, none of you are getting within a 10-meter radius of it! (I meant that jokingly, but you still can't steal it.)

**Jameson, you did spell it wrong, Jessica and Mozilla Firefox agree with me!

**Jessica, don't think I did not notice the "hint, hint". I am trying not to react, it would not seem very enthusiastic online. Wait until we get back to school! Also, that "vicious cycle" continues when you complain to me about the work load...

Jessica said...

Well, you really can't deny someone who goes pleasepleaseplease every two seconds on your MSN. And I WANTED you to notice it, so ha.

And....we have our ways.

Ghazal said...

Urgh!

Jessica said...

??? Ok then.

I just had to say that my security code is Palin.
Gasp. It's a subliminal message.

Jessica said...

=D It's what I do.
But seriously, if I ever get one with McCain in it, you know it's a conspiracy.

Ghazal said...

Yes, but I doubt it will that the capitals in the right place.

Jessica said...

It won't have capitals though.
Today is National Grammar Mistake Day, isn't it? You AND Jameson are making a lot of errors.

Anonymous said...

Ghazal , If you always keep it close to you, then we'll have lots of oppertunities to steal it from you. Oh, and I'll just use a really long stick or bribe my brother.
But you don't pronounce congraTulations like con-grat-u-la-shins, you pronounce it con-graD-u-la-shins.

Ghazal said...

Actually Jameson, a lot of people pronounce it as, "con-gratch-oo-lay-shins". Which is more or less the way "congratulations" is spelled.

Jessica said...

Well, either way, does it really matter?
At least we're not +@|k!ng |!k3 +4!$.

Anonymous said...

Fine. I'll spell it the "correct" way.
It took me a minute to decipher that. How come people who type gibberish like that think they're so cool?

Ghazal said...

I do not know Jameson. I had to stare at it for a minute too. Maybe it is only the computer nerds.

Jessica said...

It's called l33t(leet, short for elite) speak, and idiotic 10-13-year olds use it in an attempt to be cool, because, you know, it's online and it shows your maturity.

Ghazal said...

It is harder than English.

Ghazal said...

So what is cool about it?

Jessica said...

Think about it:10 year olds to 13 year olds think that being "unique" makes you cool, right?

Anonymous said...

Wait, let me get this straight. 10 year olds to 13 year olds think they're cool because they're idiots that can't spell who can't write "beans"?

Jessica said...

Yes. Hard to believe, isn't it?

Anonymous said...

It is. It sounds like the online version of Sammy.

Ghazal said...

Yet, if it is possible, more eccentric.

Jessica said...

Online version of Sammy? XD that was funny.
More eccentric, yes.

+4!5 !5 0))

Jessica said...

I didn't even understand that.

Ghazal said...

Translation: This is odd

Jessica said...

Ohh...
Well, it is.

Anonymous said...

Why are there 3+ symbols for every letter?

Jessica said...

I don't know...and its funny that people think it's faster.

Ghazal said...

I don't know, people are crazy. I am never writing like that again. I love English too much.

Jessica said...

I do it in mockery, but I agree, it should never be used otherwise.

Anonymous said...

And here we all thought French was hard.

Jessica said...

I didn't :D

Anonymous said...

Well, to the rest of us non-bilingual people, we consider it just about as hard as understanding 1337 speech (well, French may be a bit easier).

Jessica said...

I'm non bilingual as well, you know!

=P

Ghazal said...

I am not bilingual, I like French. It is not hard, I prefer different and challenging. Or as Mr. Burnett would say, Enhancement.

Jessica said...

You are bilingual, though! You speak Punjabi AND English!

Ghazal said...

And Hindi, but I was trying to sympathize with him. Wait, Jameson, you can't speak Chinese?

Ghazal said...

I wonder how there are some languages in the world which cannot be written down...

Anonymous said...

You're almost bilingual. You think French is too easy.
And you too, imitation-Ghazal. You're almost Quad(?)lingual. You don't have an excuse either. Or are you more, if you've been on another planet?
No, I can't speak Chinese. I can say Chinese, but I can't speak it.
Good question...

Ghazal said...

Thank you.

Jessica said...

Cool, I'm semi-bilingual! Wouldn't that just make me lingual, since bi=2, semi=half, and half of 2 is one, eliminating the need for a prefix?
That's a good question. Can I answer it? No.

Ghazal said...

Would you rather move to a foreign country in which you do not know what anyone is saying, or stay in Canada and answer every question or reply to everything in French?

Jessica said...

That was random.
Another country. I will hire a translator. Durr.

Ghazal said...

What about the days your translator is sick?

Jessica said...

Um, I will probably be sick as well, so that's out of the equation

Anonymous said...

Hello, Anonymousu!
I said you're almost bilingual. And no, semi-bilingual would mean you know one language, and partially know another, therefore making you 1.5 lingual.
I agree with Jessica.

Jessica said...

So, because even then it would be 2.5-lingual.
Duh.
Maybe it should be semi-trilingual.
Then it would be 1.5.

And anarchists rock. Just saying.

Ghazal said...

Hello Anonymousu
I think I would make the same choice. Though, it would be rather embarrassing to have someone call you "A stupid foreigner who knows nothing," and have your translator interpret that.

Jessica said...

I'd laugh, though.

Ghazal said...

Yes, for all of 2 seconds then have him/her translate a rather "wordy" reply back to him. By "wordy" I do not mean verbose, but ...

Jessica said...

Erm...somewhat profane?

Ghazal said...

Yes. Most likely a string of profanities.

Jessica said...

Wow.
And I thought I was mean.
I would just walk away(hopefully).

Ghazal said...

Well, I suppose I was not referring to myself, considering I do not use profane language, but if it were anyone else (with the exception of you) they probably would.

Jessica said...

Aww, I'm an exception!
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
=)

Ghazal said...

That is a good thing, better than violence. Your welcome.

Anonymous said...

How come I'm not an exception? -sniff-

Ghazal said...

Well, I suppose you are an exception too, you probably would not swear, but you would meow like crazy. Is it possible to meow in French? What would that me, le/la meow?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, haven't you ever seen those Bugs Bunny shows?

Ghazal said...

Yes. Bugs Bunny and the Tweety Show. I used to love those.

Anonymous said...

Yeah, so you know the ones with the skunk and they cat who always magically ends up with a stripe on it? The cat always says "Le meow" or "Le purrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Why is comment moderation one here and not the newer ones?

Ghazal said...

I remember. The comment moderation is on the ones older than 20 days. Maybe I should change that...
