Bob had sooo better email me back soon... I have to know whether we're going to get the iMac G5 this week or whether I have to BS my way through another meeting without having anything to talk about. Fuck, I'm screwed. This club is *not* working out. Beesley is pissed at me because I won't let him take the picture yet, and nobody fucking comes to the meetings.

Shorah-

What the heck? I'm supposed to make my journal *on a topic?* Are you kidding me? Why don't I have the "User Journal" option for my Journal Topic? Okay, well, for lack of *any* other good choice, I'll put "It's funny. Laugh." So, I expect all of you to LAUGH. haha. XD (yes, it's an emoticon - think laughing really hard... I learned it from Steven.)

Anyway, I was too lazy to post yesterday, so I've lost count, and once again am too lazy to... go back and count my previous posts (yes, dammit, I *can* count that high, shut up, it's not that funny.) So, after that little exploration into erockett's paranoia, this post will continue. [more paranoia.] I would tell a joke, but I'm not feeling like telling you one.

Today I went to my friend's house, where we played "Scattergories," and my creativity and inspiration were ruthlessly crushed. Again and again. We also played croquet, but I won at that, so I don't feel too bitter. I also talked to her parents for quite a while about computers, Apple, Woz and Jobs (Woz!), and a book I'm reading. That was cool, because even though her family uses Windows (she says "But I don't like Macs..." every time I try to get her to come to my club), her dad used to use Macs occasionally (how the heck did he manage to go *back* to Windows, I'll never know), and so her parents are both fairly open-minded about computers, and actually know stuff about Woz/Jobs/Apple. Wow, that was a looong sentence. Anyway. Woz emailed me! I still get hyper from that idea. I realize that I'm making a big deal out of it, but if I don't, I'll never manage to care enough to actually get him to come to Not PC. Also, it's fun to get that hyper rush about something that only one of my girl friends appreciates *at all,* and none of them understand it. However, I know a group of guys (incl. the one who recommended me to /.) who actually get at least somewhat excited by it. J.E.L.C may be really sweet, but they DON'T UNDERSTAND GEEKINESS. I really enjoy talking to the guys who actually get excited in their own right when I say that Woz, the man himself (Woz!) might come visit Not PC. They actually understand and are admittedly (at least somewhat admittedly) geeks.

Wow, that was actually quite a long post. I'm tired of discussing geeks and J.E.L.C. (my group of girl friends), so I'm going to wrap this party up. bye now.

Shorah-

As the subjline says, I posted again. Aren't you proud of me?

I think I'm taking up too much of Jack's time, emailing him stupid questions : ) I should probably leave off now and look for some other victims. bwahaha. I should email some other people though, seriously... like someone who will actually be able to get Woz (Woz!) in town.

But hey, it's the first week of summer - why shouldn't I bug some people? ...speaking of, I think I'll go bug a certain other person who I get great joy out of emailing/talking to when they're busy ...heh heh.

I'll be back tomorrow. yay.

Not only did I finish the FAQ today, but I also had my first post! Yay, I'm proud. yeah, I know. hmm. I think I'm developing split personalities.

I also learned about how creepy the Patriot Act is, through an article at Slashdot called "How the Government Spies on Your Internet Use." I also introduced my librarian to Slashdot, via IM. I pointed out another article, covering weblogs to her, since she's writing a book about IM and blogs/journals. I'm a little unsure of what the specifics on the book are, but I'll probably take a look at it when it's published.

okay, I'm tired, and have nothing particular to write about, except one more thing from my oh-so-exciting IM life. Maciek was being annoying and kept leaving while I was trying to talk to him. Maciek, if you're reading this (which I doubt you are), that is annoying. Can't you just say "brb"?

Good night, geeks with no lives who are reading this. (yes, that includes YOU.)

So, this is day two. I've spent most of the day poking through Slashdot (mostly the FAQ), except when my brother decided that he needed a turn using the computer. He spent a good bit of the evening playing stupid games on free game websites. Those games drive me nuts, because they make stupid noises, they're pointless, but most of all because my brother takes up the computer and DSL to play them - why doesn't he just go to an arcade? arrgh.

Oh well, I plan to get a computer of my own this summer. Then I can at least run programs like Adobe's stuff without having to give the computer up to him.

So, Slashdot is starting to make more sense ...gradually. I still have quite a ways to go on the FAQ, but we've got a tornado watch here until 1AM, so I'll probably be staying up for several hours at least, reading the FAQ, working on Not PC's website, and maybe toying around in Bryce.

I've never done any sort of blog before, and I've never been to Slashdot. Actually, I had a loose policy of not even bothering to look at people's blogs, 'cause I've heard that they waste a lot of time. But hey, I'm out of school for the summer now, so what the heck. This is my first time here, but one of my friends was very excited about it, and he really wants me to try it out. So. Here I am.

Slashdot's kinda confusing, y'know. It'll take some getting used to.

Man. I have very little to say.

hmm.

oh well. next time maybe.

'kay, bye.
