Black Friday

As always, Thanksgiving was wonderful. And as always, I overate. Of course, I inevitably felt disgusted with myself most of the day. Deavin and I had big plans to hopefully buy new Sony Vaio laptops at Best Buy. We knew ahead of time that Best Buy would be opening at 5 A.M. on Black Friday, and we were planning to be prepared.

Come Thanksgiving night, we begin to get nervous about large crowds. After all, there are some pretty insane people that probably skipped Thanksgiving dinner just to sit outside of the store to get their 50" HD TV or whatever gadget is so worthy of their time.

Anyhow, we arrive at Best Buy at 9 P.M., not midnight like we originally planned. We were about 28th in line. Already! The night was miserable at a frigid 32 degrees. Both of us couldn't feel our toes. And I was sure that my face was frostbitten. Around 3:45 or so, the employees began handing out tickets for specific items that we were wanting. Unfortunately, right before they got to us, they ran out of tickets for our precious Sony Vaio laptops. :( So we turned to our second choice: the Toshiba.

Basically, we got the Toshiba laptops and they're beautiful. I love it. And it's way better than any Mac.

However, during our stay outside of the wonderful Hoover Best Buy, we encountered a variety of crazies that I won't soon forget. One redneck told us stories about how much he loved the Waffle House, and how IHOP doesn't put any butter on his biscuits. Another girl talked the entire night, including Hulk Hogan, Macbooks, and "wakey wakey eggs and bacey" in her monologue.

Even though this laptop was worth it, I hope I am never compelled to freeze my butt off outside for 8 hours again!
