Taking a step back from the music blog today I'm here writing on an iPad as I stare at the front of Apple store 20 feet away. So you might wonder why am I blogging and not getting the iPhone 4 right now? Well that's because I'm here behind 300 other people waiting in line and there are another 400 people behind me. I have my own blog and I've never felt dorkier than I do right now. Not as dorky as others though. Some have been here since 5 pm YESTERDAY. If that's not insanity i don't know what is. People are sitting and standing and all waiting to get there phone. There is also a mutual glare at people who walk out with their shiny new phones. It isn't all bad though, I've made a few friends in line who have helped my father and I come up with a master plan to get the phone as quickly as possible. At this moment my dad is at the other end of the mall waiting at a Best Buy. Although they don't have many the store does have the iPhone four. Apparently not many others know that because there are 3 people down there and an estimated 3,000 people up here because of the pre order and the regular line. Although those in the pre order line are guaranteed a phone the line is twice as long as the regular line. It's times like this where I really wonder what the hell I'm doing waiting in line for a phone. I'm justifying this by thinking of how my current phone is broken, and my contract is up, but maybe that doesn't mean I should be waiting 2-3 hours for this. Once I actually get the phone I'll decide if it's worth it. <\/p>\n
\nIt's been two hours and the best buy plan failed. They only had one phone left and my dad refused to do a $50 pre order as well. So im still waiting in line. <\/p>\n
Now it's been three hours and my dad has left me to go home. Apple did something surprising though and gave out free Chik Fil-A and water in the line. It was a kind gesture and I'm sure everyone in line appreciates it. Currently it's 10:54 and we should be getting the phone at 12:30<\/p>\n
\nIt's now 1:15 and I have been here for 6 hours. I have never been at a mall this long and I think I'm starting to go insane. I remember it now, "oh come on Chelsea! We'll go to the store tomorrow morning and it will be exciting and fun!" I hate my life. <\/p>\n
Plus there is a stupid rent a cop who won't let us sit in chairs or block anything. He made me move away from a store front this morning when the store wasn't opening for another TWO HOURS.
\n7 hours and the Chik-Fil-A cart came around again. Not a huge fan but at this point I'll eat it. <\/p>\n
This is an extremely boring blog. <\/p>\n
\nI cannot believe I thought I'd be finished by 11. <\/p>\n
10 hours later and I never want to see Chik-Fil-A again. <\/p>\n
Not that many people are in front of us but by that I mean around 40.<\/p>\n
\nI'd just like to note how long this post was in the beginning and along with my energy and patience it has decreased rapidly. <\/p>\n
12 hours and I'm going to have a breakdown <\/p>\n
After 12 and a half hours of waiting an Apple employee came out and said "Sorry, we're out of stock" and that was it. They offered us nothing special, we couldn't write our names down and come back tomorrow. All we got was a half assed apology. <\/p>\n
You can probably already tell how I feel right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
