oh, i'm here today.... but leaving at 11.

that red X get's ya hot, huh? x x x x x x

Well here's a lil something for ya.... Rutger's supposedly conducted their own little study of how smart (math based) people are in relation to what kind of car they drive.... Japanese cars was first, European cars second, and American cars third. 99.5 did their own little study with callers driving in to work this morning. Simple questions put me (a japanese car driver & math major) to shame. Question 1: Square root of 144? give me a break. I said "12" before they finished saying the question. No one got the answer. Question 2: What do you call a triangle with all sides un-equal? Again... able to answer while the 3 callers sat stumped. Final Question (3): What will you find with the formula 2(pie symbol)r? Once again... I answered long before the caller still in highschool answered it correctly. All this for tickets to a Michelle Branch concert.... maybe that's why they didn't want to answer?

I was actually getting ready for school (how young i am) and my mom was in hysterics yelling "they're attacking us! they're attacking us!!" she was crying - which i've never seen her done before, and she actually told me she loved me like she meant it. When I turned on the tv, i really didn't believe it - i thought some idiot flying a 4 seater had mistakenly flown into the WTC, but as we both watched the second plane hit the second tower, I knew we were in trouble. My mom fell on my bed and just sat there motionless. I felt extremely bad for her b/c she had just made plans to fly to FL the next week to see her dad in his last month & 1/2 of life. Having to postpone this trip for her... might have meant missing his last full day of life. When I finally got to school, I had been teary-eyed and all the old ladies in the front office asked what was wrong. No one at school had any idea of what was going on. I don't know if I was the initial 1st person to break the news... but when I did, they asked me to just go to class. First 2 hrs were study hall - and that bitch of a teacher wouldn't even let us turn on the TV to see what was giong on. It was only after the first tower fell that I was in a class room with CNN on. A while after I got home from school, my youngest sister, 9 at the time, just came out of left field and told me that we couldn't drive anywhere because the roads were closed, and the roads were closed because all of the abulances had to be on the road because of the hurt people. Then she asked if we were going to be hit next since we live in North East, Maryland (they had just said something about the "NorthEastern" region of the nation on CNN being under alert). It's pretty sad having to explain stuff like this to someone so young who is totally oblivious to everything bad happening in this world. I got a little teary-eyed looking at the news pictures of the memorial service at groung zero today.

You guys could keep me company while cheering for him. :D

I'm just saying - the boss man, Pres and VP said they all use AIM, and use MSN for office reasons, but it's screwed up and no one can use it here now - atleast, that i know of.

well it looks like you've got one free hand to type.... help me out vic.

You guys might think this is stupid to ask.... but there is no way that AIM works at my office. I was told to go ahead and use it here... but after the first day - complete shit. I tried everything possible - downloading older versions, and even using that Quick Buddy, only to find that it will kick me off after 2 minutes, then re-connect me. Even tried Trillian. Same thing. I tried changing my port number to 80 - still no go. Tell me, what do I do? THANKS A L OT!

see jroo's post below.

thank you, thank you.

i've never denied anything i did. I atleast have the guts to tell him everything and to apologize sincerely for it.

it's great, thanks. already some hostility though.

it's good that you only heard his side, huh. any conselation for pushing the guy off and leaving? weak?- far from it.

here's a heads up for ya - some friends from HS will never actually "graduate" - they'll still be petty and dramatize everything. That's when you find out who your real friends are. sad but true. probably the reason most people never miss highschool - i know i don't.

December 28th '83 - i'm a baby.

wow. way to call me out.
