HA! I stay winning for once!

Haha! For the last sevral years, every time I get something incredible, like a computer, the internet (when few had it) and stuff, other people always swoop in and copy me exactly, and then making themselves better. Then they accuse me of being overly competative, and making everything as contest... Here's a breif rundown of some events that will illustrate this fact:
1998: Got my desktop computer, w98, p3 450, 64Mb ram, 15 inch monitor, 6gb hard drive. 1 year later: Matt gets his; wME, p3 733 (iirc), 20 gb hard drive, 256mb ram, 16 inch screen.
1998: I get the internet (albeit Gateway.net service, wich eventually sold out to AOL leaving doomed till this day). 3 months later: Matt gets AOL at about the same time Gateway sells out.
... 6 years pass with various repeats similar to such...
I get a broadband connection, finally getting rid of AOL. Broadband connection proves impossible to use on POS computer. Sparhawk gets DSL.
Late 2003: I get a girlfriend. EDIT: Well, it seems I'm still winning then...
2004: I sacrifice everything i make moneywise for the last 3 years to buy a laptop. The BEST laptop possible. At that time, I was the only one of Matt Sparhawk and I that DIDN'T have a laptop. 1 single month later; Sparhawks parents BUY HER the same f#####g laptop, and throw in a few games as well. They ONLY bought it after they saw mine. If they hadn't seen mine, they'd have gotten her a Mac. And I would have laughed.
People think I'M the one trying to be the best person, or have the best stuff. Uh, I don't think so. So now, after YEARS of being outdone and scoffed at like i'm trying to outdo someone, and i have my small amount of retribution; Sparhawks laptop. She can't do just about ANYTHING without consulting with her parents (ie; set passwords, srt it up for the internet, BRING IT ANYWHERE, just about EVERYTHING.) Plus she'll probably have to let her brothers use it when they want.
So, for ONCE i can relish in the fact, that I'm not getting the shaft in life.
