... that it is grossly unfair that both my retired great-aunt and her equally retired friend have iPads and I don't? (And I realize that's a very spoiled rotten thing to feel bad about, I'm not ignorant of that fact.)
See, this is why I get so irritated when my mom accuses me of spending my money on junk and toys. Oh, okay. You can tell I throw away all my money on electronic toys because I have the cheapest laptop I could get to replace my busted laptop and currently-fritzing netbook (which I got for Christmas a few years ago), a used 120Gb Zune that I bought on eBay for a third of the price after scraping together enough pocket money, a used Blackberry that only makes calls and texts (and my mom still pays for the cell phone bill), and three paperbacks in my purse rather than an eReader.
If I'm spending all of my money on toys, I am failing fucking miserably at it.
