3g iphone. YAY!

so last night i couldn't sleep. i went to bed at 10:00 and i think the excitement of getting up early to buy the new iphone kept me awake. i tossed and turned until at least 12:30am, which made my 6:00am wake-up call extra brutal.

you know when you wake up and you're so disoriented you don't know if you're awake or dreaming? i definitely woke up with my alarm, fell back asleep, had a dream that kenny was in the shower and i had to wait for him to get out, then woke up and laid in bed another 15 minutes thinking kenny was in the bathroom until i realized that was a dream.

ANYWAY.. so i rushed to get ready and was out of the house and on to the AT&T store in midlothian. i arrived just after 7:00am to find about 12 people already in line. CRAZY. the line continued growing until it peaked at about 30 people. reports from people in line who had friends at other stores said that the apple store line was crazy and most other AT&T stores in the area had lines 50 people deep. i guess i lucked out with my store choice.

but that's not all i was lucky with. i had my heart set on getting a 16gb iphone for more storage and i also really wanted to get it in white. who has a white phone? it's just too cool to pass up. so i'm sitting in line and the lady is asking people for their info and when she gets to me, she asks what i want and i say 16gb and she makes a face and leaves for a bit. she comes back and says "you're in luck, you're getting the last of the 16gb phones." i was like "YESSSSSS!" then i asked if they had it in white. she said yes, but it depends entirely on what phones the people in front of me get. basically, the last 16gb iphone was the one i was going to be stuck with. i looked ahead of me in line and saw a bunch of tucked-in polo shirt/khaki cargo short nerds. no one that would willingly buy a white iphone. my odds were good.

the lady proceeded to tell everyone behind me in line that they couldn't get a 16gb iphone and that i get the last one. i then felt the laserbeams of hate shooting at me from literally everyone behind me in line. some people got out of line and left because of it.

anyway, because i switched carriers and moved my number, it's going to be a few hours for my phone to work properly. so in the meantime, i'm just staring at it on my desk, anticipating the end of the workday so i can take it home and play with it in earnest.

so here it is. white iphone. awesome.
