Gnite BG!
I have no class tomorrow, I plan to sleep most of the day.
Goodnight BG.
The dentist f*cked up my appointment and I have to go back tomorrow instead. Not like I wasn't going to be busy enough this weekend packing to go back to school...
Em, who are you arguing with?
Go look at the Bareback Mountain thread. Some blockhead who used to post under a different screen name, actually. I think I know which.
There's so much to discuss about the movie, but this dude is resorting to low-brow personal insults, probably because he's run out of things to say that wouldn't be pathetic repetition. I enjoy being argumentative, but now I'm being put on the defensive because it's becoming about my intelligence and not the movie. I hate it when people do that. I don't need my wrists slapped because I'm not a gay man.
goodnight!
Aww, you guys are all gorgeous! All pictures of me are horribly unflattering, but I'll be a follower anyway:
This is from a mini-hiking excursion that I took with two of my best friends a couple of weeks ago (I'm the one on the right). We were hiking, so I figure that I have that excuse for not looking fabulous.
To catch up on other things: Glad you had fun at Wicked, skittles, although the seating thing sounds like a nightmare. I was in the second tier of the Opera House when I saw it as well. I'm still mourning the fact that I missed Stephanie and saw her understudy instead.
I saw Casanova.... it's great fun. It's not brilliant cinema, but it's the most actual fun I've had watching something in a long time. Heath is as gorgeous as ever, and Venice is the most beautiful place I've ever been so it was a great setting.
Heath + Venice = a lot of pretty.
My webmail account is like.... eating my e-mails. Gr. And I need to go to sleep but I'm so very wide awake!
Yay for pictures!
I hate webmail!!! It's killing me, I have no way to hook up my PowerBook to the internet here, so I've had to rely on webmail, which deletes things after like 7 days. Which is bad bad BAD, because I'm in charge of scheduling speakers for a club I'm in, which requires constant emailing and keeping up with things. It's really frustrating.
The screen that my message went through came up, but it's not in my sent-box, which is very peculiar. I think it went though, because if it didn't, it would've restored when I hit "compose." Meh. I'm anxious to see if the person got it, but I won't know til like... late tomorrow night. I'm really neurotic about like... accidentally sending emails to the wrong people, and it would be really embarassing if this went to the wrong person (for which reason I checked the address a billion times, so I'm not worried) -- but being that it's not in my sent-box, I'm inclined to think it didn't go ANYWHERE.
I should get gmail.
Yeah, I definitely sent a blank email with no subject to one of my professors yesterday, so I feel your pain.
I'd wait an hour or two to see if it shows up as having sent, but who knows with those things.
Everything else I've sent tonight has shown up instantly -- they always do. It probably just didn't restore, because shortly after I had to force-quit Firefox. Oh well.
Yeah, sounds pretty likely that it didn't send at all.
Part of me can't wait to be back at school this weekend to get settled in, but at the same time there's emailing and stuff that I need to do NOW that I keep procrastinating on because it's such a pain to deal with.
It's 4:51 AM. Do you know where your children are?
Yar. I have to go do annoying registration crap soon.

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.
Amazing picture! Your horse is beautiful.
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
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.
