Finals are officially DONE. I also somehow managed to finish that essay I was complaining about last night.

Kind of a dumb question, but I'll ask anyway: Who thinks that "Mute" was supposed to be the name of Roger's old band in the movie (I know they're called the "Well Hungarians" in the play)? I always assumed that, but I guess it's possible that it was just supposed to be a band that Roger and Mark admired. Although, does Roger even burn a Mute poster? I know he rips down that "Roger Davis - acoustic sessions" poster.

I don't know if there's a "real" answer to this, but kinda interesting nonetheless. :)

Yep, it was supposed to be Roger's old band. You know when they throw the posters into the fire? They say "Roger Davis" on them, and there are pictures of Adam.

They got the name from that of Adam's old band, per Adam's suggestion.

Okay, wow. My internet refused to work at my house last night so I'm finally able to get on. I had to go through eight pages. Everyone here talks too much =P

Anyway, skittles, that stinks about the Wicked thing. I hate how people have no class anymore, or how people don't do their jobs properly anymore, like the ushers.

And this is a picture of me, my brother and my horse [it's our christmas picture]. It was my college facebook picture but I just changed it. I'm still in high school but I have a college and a highschool facebook, lol.

Thanks =D. His name is Orion. I love him, but what's funny about him is that he gets scared of things really easily. He's a pretty big horse and loud noises scare him and when other horses [or ponies] run by him or go over jumps right next to him he gets nervous.

Oy, I definitely understand where those of you with e-mail woes are coming from. For some reason, AOL likes to eat my e-mails every so often, and its favorite ones to eat are the ones it took me an hour to type. BTW, if anyone wants gmail, PM me your current e-mail address. I have a gmail account and I can invite up to 100 people to sign up.

siamese, glad to hear you finished that essay. What common theme did you end up going with?

So, today is my last day at home before I go back to my dorm. What I should be doing:
- Organizing my bags and making sure they contain everything I need but didn't already put in my dorm when I went into the city yesterday
- Taking any files I want/need from the old computer in my brother's room so we can finally get rid of it (I think I was still in high school when my parents started getting on my case about this)
- Writing that damn cover letter so I can finally send in my application for that internship

What I'll probably end up doing:
- Sitting around all day watching DVDs on my laptop
- Getting into a huge fight with at least one of my parents over it

"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time." --NYU student quoted in the Washington Square News about students ignoring the frequent fire alarms in dorms

AOL is horrible. We've had it since 98 or 99 [I think] and me and my friends like to call it AOHell. At least we finally got high speed internet. I could never imagine going back to dialup again. My mom likes it, so we still keep Broadband AOL but I usually just get on for 5 minutes to check my mail and then use Internet Explorer.

And Billboard, you sound like me. I always think about what I SHOULD be doing, but then I procrastinate instead and end up fighting with my parents about how I didn't get anything done.

*shudders at the memories of dial-up*
My neighborhood wasn't wired for high-speed until May 2004, so I had to endure dial-up for about 6 years (figures that we finally got it a couple of months before I left for college, where I would have high-speed anyway). I hated how the access numbers always got busy at night, how I would get disconnected so often, and how slow everything was. I think the only reason my family still has AOL is that we don't want to change our e-mail addresses or lose our Favorite Places, because AOL sucks and half of the websites I go to don't work on there half the time so I have to open a different browser anyway.

Yeah I know, when I was younger I used to go in chatrooms a lot, and the prospect of AOL being taken away and not being able to go in those chatrooms, even though I hated dialup, was horrible, lol. Now I hardly use it anymore. I remember when we had dial up and we moved the computer back upstairs [it went upstairs and downstairs a lot over the years] while we remodeled the kitchen...and the line didn't work as well upstairs. It kicked you off a lot. I remember it kicked me off once twenty two times. Yes, I counted...I was that mad. I don't know how I had the patience to sit through that while it redialed. At least we had a private line so that we didn't have to get off when people called.

Thanks, BG! I actually ended up going with pride. It was kind of a stretch in some places, but I think I made it work. To be honest, sitting around and doing nothing sounds great, but I've got to leave in a few minutes for a debate tournament. Yuck.

It seems that everyone uses AOL at first, realizes how bad it is, and then changes to high-speed. I think we had it from '96-'99ish. Their email interface is horrible.

Yeah I think AOL is losing customers fast. Not only is it slow and doesn't really work well, but its expensive. I think a few years ago it was 27 dollars a month, and I'm not sure what it is now. I'm suprised we haven't gotten rid of it.

We don't have AOL. At home we used to go with Bell, the phone company, the problem was there is no high-speed in that area, which is a big city right outside of Toronto, so we switched to Roger's, the cable company. Where I go to school, a small city in cottage country, not only is there high speed with Bell, but I could get turbo speed if I wasn't poor.

Just remembering dial-up, I shudder to think about going back to it. When I had dial up, I was lucky to download things at 2kbs a minute, so I was lucky if a three megabyte song got done in an hour. And now I can download whole movies in half an hour. Highspeed internet is amazing.

It's kind of sad how much I've come to rely on having fast internet, or even internet at all. When the internet wouldn't work yesterday, my mom and I were really annoyed, and I was like going through AIM and BWW withdrawls, lol. Kind of like cell phones...before you own one, you can do without one just fine. About a month after you own it, if you forget it for one day people get mad at you for not answering your phone. That happens to me anyway, lol. If I forget my phone for a day, I come back to find eight missed calls or something ridiculous like that.

Good luck with your debate tournament, siamese!

"When I had dial up, I was lucky to download things at 2kbs a minute, so I was lucky if a three megabyte song got done in an hour. And now I can download whole movies in half an hour. Highspeed internet is amazing. "

Ah, so true. If I wanted to download a music video, I would have to leave it running overnight and hope I didn't get disconnected. Now, that takes about 5 minutes at home and 1 and a half at school.

I think what made having dial-up for so long really frustrating is that other streets in my neighborhood were wired for high-speed years before my block was. It was so close, yet so far away.

I definitely can't deal with not having Internet access for more than a day or so. I went on a cruise a couple of weeks ago and went online (either in the ship's cybercafes or through wireless access on my own laptop) a few times a day, even though it cost 50 cents a minute because I just couldn't handle being without it.

Oh I was pretty bad about it when I went to Australia this summer. Whenever there was internet at our hotel I would always have to go on it to check email and stuff even though it was pretty expensive. It wasn't so bad if you could find an internet cafe, usually about three dollars for an hour or something like that.

And I just read that excerpt of Anthony's book and I want it REALLY bad now. I think he is signing in New York a day or two before I come up. I'm going to just miss him, it stinks.

I'm going back to school tomorrow morning, and before that I still have to transfer computers, do laundry, pack, etc. etc., and I'm going to dinner with my best friend and her mom at 5:30. I'm SO getting yelled at tonight.

I can't wait to read Anthony's book, either.

It's around 50 degrees here and they say it's supposed to snow tomorrow.
