Well Hello there blog, I've been mia for a bit. But it wasn't my fault really. School has kicked my butt for the last time this semester so I've spent the last few days working a bit, hanging out with friends and being just generally lazy. So here's whats new:
-I just erased my saved episode of Doctor Who: The Waters of Mars. Not happy at all about that and I have to see when it is on again to rerecord it.
- We got like 7 inches of snow in the massive snowstorm that hit the east coast. I may or may not be sledding in it with my friends later, but who knows.
- Christmas is coming soon, which means I have to do my tradition of reading all the Christmas scenes in Harry Potter, attempt to finish Let it Snow, and watch Love Actually.
- My house is the host of Christmas this year, which means this coming week I will be running around like a madwomen, buying stuff for my mom, baking cookies, and help cooking, as well as playing hostess to my family when they come because my mom will be cooking.
- Last night I dreamed that I was in a bookstore looking for a John Green novel when he popped up out of nowhere and helped me find the books, signed it and then I found a nerdfighter note in the one behind it. I do hope this dream becomes a reality because that would be awesome.
That is pretty much the jist of my life at the moment, my friends are home so I'm happy and I'm waiting to see how bad I did this semester.
Whooo hoooo!

Computers.
As much as I spend so much time on the computer, I can sort of recall the first major times I have experienced the internet.
There was always that really huge monitor and tower around in my kitchen (we didn't have room for it anywhere else since we lived in a small apartment). I remember my parent having to string the Ethernet cable (didn't know what that was at the time) across the room from our telephone to deal with dial-up. Yes I remember those days where I had to listen to that god-forsaken tone. I remember the first internet experiences being with my parents showing me funny emails they got from friends that sang and were animated.
We used the computer in school mainly for paint. I remember in fourth grade we would have free time and I would go on the big computer in the back and just use paint for the longest time, making aliens, spray painting a colored background.
I think the first real experience I had online though that got me really interested was when my friends and I found the first harry potter movie website where i could be sorted, pick a pet and design it as well as get a wand. I also remember wanting my mom to download aol because I would watch Nick and they would always say AOL Keyword to search for stuff.
I have no idea what our first computers were like, we have three desktops before my uncle got me my first dell laptop (Which I still have because I got it in like 2005).
It's amazing what the internet did for me, and how my life would be so different. I just asked my dad the other day what he did without having the internet so freely and he shrugged and said he had no idea.
So thanks internet for being around and getting better (but more complicated) everyday
