Following the Leader

It has come to my attention that, for the past few months, my life has followed that of Sara’s. She had a change in job status and became super busy; I decided to work on changing my job status and became super busy. She had a problem with her tires; my car’s tires decided to all deflate to a 23 (it’s usually supposed to be around 34). Gabe’s hard drive suddenly got tiny holes in it and broke down on Sara; Bella decided to just shut down on me.

So you see what I mean here.

However, while Sara went and bought an awesome new MacBook Pro, I’ve decided to go the poor girl’s route and get a refurb of sorts from a friend. And, well, if you remember a few months back when Sara wrote a post about names… She and I love naming our things. Which brings to MacBook Pro’s new name.

I guess I should tell you all now (if you don’t already know) that (almost) everything I own is named after a character from TWILIGHT. It started off as a coincidence with two items being named before I even heard about the series, and then I just continued it for shits and giggles… Now I just feel the need to continue the tradition.

The following names are already taken or have already been used:

  • Bella - my first MacBook, named because I kept telling my extremely Italian friend, “She’s so beautiful.. She’s so pretty.. She needs a beautiful name…” I wish I was kidding
  • Jazzy (for Jasper) – my iPod, for obvious reasons
  • Victoria - the first car I bought, small, silver, but more than she seems
  • Mal (for Mary Alice) – the digital camera
  • Leah - my first iPhone: powerful, gorgeous, and able to do more than I ever thought possible in a phone (she lost a piece and had to be replaced)
  • Demetri (and Demetri 2.0) – the replacement iPhone for Leah; I wanted him to be better at keeping me grounded and, y’know, not lose his power. There was a 2.0 because the Apple store gave me an 8gb accidentally when I should have been given a 16gb
  • Alec - the latest iPhone4, small but fast and power-driven; a bit square around the edge ;)
  • Senna - my Kindle: granite, able to hold power for a long time, and able to hold way more information than should ever be deemed necessary

I think those are the only ones I’ve used. Eek if I’m missing any.

So this is what I know about the new-old MacBook Pro:

  • It’s a Pro which means it’s faster than Bella
  • Silver
  • 15″
  • Old trackball (which makes me soooo happy)
  • Built-in camera
  • Will have the latest programs
  • Has a few scuff marks but is otherwise perfect

So, fine readers… Hit me with a name from THE TWILIGHT SAGA you think might fit… Or a variation of the name… I have a few ideas but am open to other choices. :)
