I Got a New Computer!

Yes!!! At last I got a new computer. It’s an HP6130 with Intel C2D and loads of other features including Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Aero interface, YAY!). I wanted an assembled model but no one over here seems to have the time to go shopping for all the different parts.

After days of pleading for a new computer I have finally got one. Whew! The one I had previously was a P4 (more than 3 years old and not much use). Its motherboard was giving me a lot of problems and it had a lot of overheating trouble too.

The new one was delivered today and needless to say I just had to load the OS and use it.

I had ordered it about a week back and I really don’t know why it took so much time. But these people really have terrible timing. I have got my tests starting the day after tomorrow, and my mom says that if I spend one single minute more on the computer today, she’s gonna hide the CPU. Really…

I went to a party, Mom…

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink Mom,
So I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn’t drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming Mom,
Something I expected least.
Now I’m lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.
My own blood’s all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.
I’m sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put Daddy’s Girl on my grave.
Someone should have taught him,
That its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I’d still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I’m getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I’m so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, “I love you, Mom!”
So I love you and good-bye.
