I just got my new Dell laptop in the mail today.
I named it Lemony.
I think that’s a nice androgynous name.
I feel it is too early to impose gender roles.
Did I mention the red snap cover?
Oh it gives Lemony character.
I suppose this is an introduction of sorts.
I’m from Southwest VA and I’m getting ready to move, in less than two weeks, to Boston. I’m going to be a freshman at Suffolk University.
Anybody else in the area?
I’d love to make some connections now and meet someone when I arrive.
Where in SW VA? I’m sure I live quite close to you. (For now…I’m off to college near Pittsburgh next week myself.) It’s always great to find someone else from the area, even just for a little bit. 
Lee County!
You?
It has a red cover, and you named it “Lemony”?
Guess it beats “Reddy” … or “Cherry” …
Yeah, as a nod to Lemony Snicket.
Cherry makes me think of a stripper.
I hope my laptop aspires to a more stable line of work 
I dunno. A laptop owned by “misshornypenny” could well be named after a stripper …
i’m afraid you have me there…
dammit!
You should introduce yourself here. There are a few of us in or near Boston. I’ll let one of them speak for us, though. I’m not in the “in” crowd.
Stripping isn’t a reliable line of work? What do they teach the children in these schools?
Over in northeast Tennessee. Outside Kingsport, to be more exact.
pun, penny and I are all about 45 mins away from Kingsport!
Yay! We’re not the only dopers in this area!
I’m in Knoxville, so I’m a little further away.
Does no one go to UTK anymore?
(just kidding. I’m here for grad school, but I did my undergrad in Maine, so I can’t say anything about folks going away to school.) Best of luck to 'penny, Jess and anyone else starting college this fall!
Im not in the area, but I had to post just due to the fact I just got a new laptop aswell. I LOVE it1
We don’t have an ‘in’ crowd! Sheesh And why don’t ya consider yourself one of the gang eh?
Oh… yeah… you weren’t supposed to see that.
cower
AngelicGemma you are so far from the area! But aren’t laptops great?!
JessEnigma, holy crap! fizzy and I live just an hour away! We have to go Kingsport all the time, its the closest Wal-Mart
YES! They are the best thing ever!And my life now feels complete. (Tragically, I’m not kidding)
Oh yeah … I forgot I have a reputation to maintain I’m the mean one!
I don’t have a laptop 
I guess my life is not complete!
Welcome to the area MHP Not that I know anything about the area you will be going to school…
You must immediatly go out and buy one! lol
I’d love to except they’re just not in the budget right now… maybe when it is time to upgrade my PC I might consider a laptop but they suck for gaming and thats most of what I do with the computer. Of course I won’t have time for gaming in a few weeks but who knows maybe someday
