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. :)

  1. I will… comment with all the names of my shit. Since making my own post would just be stupid. (I’m following the leader too!)

    Gabriel – old, dead computer that is now back to life.
    Azrael – new, shiny computer.
    Glenn – old man, lamesauce iPod from 8ish years ago that still basically works.
    Galvin – old cell phone.
    Lola – old, lovely car. She used to be a showgirl but she was a broke-down chica when I got her.
    The Black Mamba – sexy new car. That is black, obviously. Name used to be Alice but it just didn’t fit.

    That’s… it, I think. The only “theme” I have to my names is that I name computers after archangels, apparently.

    My phone now doesn’t have a name and I probably won’t name any future phones unless they’re smartphones. I really wanna name something after that sexy Snatcher from HP7.1 but I forget his name. My camera doesn’t have a name. It’s nameless, NO names fit it. I want to get a new, silver iPod and name it Voldemort, but Glenn is resisting and trying to bribe me with awesome shuffle mixes.

  2. By Sexy Snatcher, do you mean the guy who could smell Hermione? That’s Nick Moran, a frickin 40-year-old gorgeous man.

    I may or may not have stalked his information online when the movie was over.

    • Oh, I know his name is Nick Moran, I stalked the SHIT out of him. I just can’t remember his character name >.< Fail.

      Btw, if you ever run into him, you can feel free to tell him to snatch me up, something to do with lady part nicknames, etc. Just give him my number.
