The novel is great. 'Chronicles of Ackers' is shit.
God, I fucking hate my sister. We bring home a new computer, yes? Yes. I'm left to set the thing up. I am given no cords with it. So I say to myself, "We're keeping the monitor, speakers, and mouse the same, so why not just keep all the other cords the same? This keeps my brain from exploding from dealing with it all and makes my life a million times easier." So I hook the computer up to where Compie is and say, "Wow! That was easy!" I then unhook Mouse and hook Compie up with Mouse's cords. "Wow! That was easy!" I take Mouse into my sister's room to where the dinosaur, Elmo, once lived. Elmo died, but his cords should still be there.
My sister starts to set things up with Mouse and then calls me up. She asks me where the hell her cords are. I explain the situation and she blows up at me. I don't know what to do! I'm given no cords and I have two sets of things already set up and one ready to go! She expected me to crawl behind my mother's desk, unplug all of Compie's cords, plug in the new computer's cords, set it up, unplug all of Mouse's cords, plug in all of Compie's cords, set it up, and bring Mouse and its cords into her room.
So now she's pissed at me.
GAH.
