This is the second time that an OOD (Object of Desire) becomes MINE!!
The first one was Jasper (my cell phone, a Samsung BlackJack II), who arrived on July and the second one is Eric.
Eric is my beloved, shiny and new iPod Touch! He’s named after Eric Northman from True Blood (who is a hot as hell, Swedish vampire played by the equally hot as hell, Swedish Alexander Skarsgard).
So how did I do it?
Easy, Daddy did it. I know, I know, I sound like a spoiled little brat when I say it like that. But let me tell you the whole story…
My beloved iPod Shuffle (2nd generation) AKA El Santo and I had a very strong bond. He was with me the first time I drove by myself (to Rgn Grg’s house) and we were very close. He knew everything about how I liked to listen to my tunes and with a 3GB music library I really didn’t need more than it’s 1GB storage space. Then one day, I left El Santo inside my jacket and my mum decided to wash said jacket (that’s one of the things that suck when you still live with the rents anyhoo). Yep, El Santo drowned and after 4 months of being iPod-less and several MP3 CDs later, I finally found iPods on sale (you know, because the new iPod with useless video cameras are out now) but didn’t make much of it. After all, we don’t have a lot of cash kicking around and I don’t work so I depend on my parents 100%.
Meanwhile my sister decided to put up a company (Sleek Promotion – still in construction) and “hired” me without pay to code it. I coded something really fast with the products we had and then she decided to change the entire catalog and a whole lot of mess ensured. Then I started college again (thesis, social service and classes), and I didn’t have much time to finish the webpage (which I’m going to finish because it’s going to be my final project for my e-commerce class). My sister started yelling at me for not working and I told her that I would feel obliged to work if I actually got paid (not much), so Daddy stepped in and said that he would get me the iPod as a 50% payment if I got the catalog up and running within the first 2 weeks after getting it in my hands. I said yes (after all the thing is coded, I just need to get the database running how I like it and tweek some things) and on Wednesday I went to the Apple Store and got it.
BTW, here are some pretty pictures:

So now, I’m going to spend the next two months paying for it with my webpage.
And yes, I name my things, I don’t know why I just do it. Here are some other examples:
I’m off to try and code something, or do my homework. I can’t concentrate at my house ¬¬.
