rawr. Hello f-list! I realize it has probably been ages since you've seen anything posted from me, but I've mostly just rediscovered livejournal. It rather sucks I've lost touch with most of you (*waves at MH and IDF crowds*).

I don't know why I ever stopped coming here, really... it was mostly just all the other things in my life piling up to the point where livejournal became expendable. Plus, I've just never been one to blog (a.k.a., bore people with my life). Anyway, look for there to be some random posts from time to time, possibly letting you know what's going on in life, posting a graphic I've made (icons, wallpapers, blends, etc), or just something random.

So, drop me a comment if you have something to say or just want to say hi! :)

Anyone have any book recommendations?

Just some random rambling.

Blah... today, I was tired. We were doing our debat thing in english... and i was so nervous, it was awful. x.x I could barely talk. Our issue was Marijuana Legalization... and... well, Clay just kept going on about how he smokes pot all the time and he's not dead... and then christi was just yelling at the other team, and I could barely talk... so anyway, we lost @@; but it wasn't bad... I guess, we still got some votes *nods*... whatever, I don't care, I don't need the A for winning the debate, I can still do fine on the essay. *nods* It's not fair to me though that Christi and Clay get the grade of the paper I wrote because they didn't do anything for it. When we went to study during class they jsut... sat there. I did have them doing some stuff for a while, but they quit. x.x So yeah, it'll be Clay's only decent grade of the year probably in that class. :P *is so horrible* anyway, I don't care anymore, so whatever. People are stupid :/

w00t :D'

An inferior, insecure (it attracts crap like those annoying browser tabs and spyware like a magnet) and unreasonably popular internet browser. Ignorant morons like our friend here who shall rename nameless may think it is the only browser available, but superior browsers such as Opera and Mozilla Firebird are available for free.

Another fun meme brought to you by rfreebern.

Yay.

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we
would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release
stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........
twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to
buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You
would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows,
shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could
continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause
your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would
have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable,
five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only
five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all
be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation"
warning light.

I love the next one!!!

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out
and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door
handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn
how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate
in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

School. Wow.. it hasn't been as bad as i thought it would.

Adam hasn't grabbed me at all this year yet... *blinks* Moving on

Alright, so anyway, I have friends in my classes this year. and people actually to talk to. :D not that I didn't last year... but this year.... I dunno, there are just more of them I guess, and it's just happier... I dunno.

1st Period: Chemistry:

Shoot me. I am scared of this class! omfg! @.@ We had this rules of like 26 things that we shouldn't do, and then the teacher goes over all this stuff that could be done with all the chemicals in there. @.@ Like... blowing up the school, catching it on fire, burning holes in your skin/clothes... sheesh! Anyway, I have Ashley! xD w00t. Stephanie is also in there @.@ she's really smart, even moreso than me! It's impossible, you ask? Sorry, but alas no. :P Anyway, Ashley is gonna be my lab partner XD So that might cheer me up. :P The teacher... is SUCH a dork. *blinks*

2nd Period: Precalculus:

I have Mrs. English. Again. Third year in a row. I can live with that though, she's a good teacher. I sit by Ashley Wilt... @.@ she seem nice.:) Different ashley than chem ashley, btw. anyway, hopefully this class goes well.. @.@

3rd Period: Accounting 2:

Don't ask me why I took this. :P Anyway, mr. gibson is cool, and we almost always have like 10 minutes extra at the end of class at least to do whatever. But i have no friends in that class, so i must resort to writing notes or playing on de calculator. :) but it's nice, because it's pretty quiet anyway. Some relaxation time, if you will.

4th Period: French III:

Ah! French! I love this class. The teacher is great, though she takes things much too slowly int he class. Francais est tres bien, oui? :D I have friends in this class, and everyone in there thinks i'm like a french genious *rolls eyes* I have some friends in there, Katelyn... Carrie (kinda), stephanie again... Jarrod... hm ^^

5th Period: Honors english 11:

Teacher seems nice. w00t! Carley is in this class :D but ya know... I dunno, she seems to preoccupied by some of her other friends most of hte time, but that's prolly just me being paranoid, ya know. I kinda got placed in a way that I have to turn around a lot to talk to her, but that may be it. Also drew is in that class... xD and Nicole ("beautiful" haha) and Derek, who has a large butt @.@ not that I stare at it. :P Christi is in there as well...

6th Period: Lunch:

w00t! I sit with Christi and some of her friends, and not megan like I thought I would. I've been thinking abou tmoving who I sit with though... because... well, I dunno...xD and after lunch I just have easy classes which require no books, so yay.:)

7th period: A Capella Choir

@.@ Who'd have thought I'd join this. :P Anyway, it seems alright, since I'm not going to have to sing any solos, etc. Whatever. Carley's in here too... xD and nathalie, nicole ('beautiful'), Derek (again), and Brittany. :P New choir teacher... the french teacher used to teach it. I'd much rather have her, but the new one seems nice enough. So whatever.

8th Period: Desktop Publishing:

Hm. teacher = old-ish. She has a shaky voice, and shaky hands. She's weird... like... weird. :P Anyway, Nicole is in my class... she's like tall and skinny. and Brittany (Breet, not to be confused with Choir brittany) is in there as well. *shrugs* I'll live. :)

Anyway, school isn't bad. :D Hopefully it doesn't get bad x.x 

Anyone who still needs a GMAIL get one from me, I have 6 invites. :)
smartah@gmail.com

w00t, it's friday. :D

Still 5 gmail accounts left. mail me @ smartah@gmail.com if you need one. :P

Hm... school today rather sucked. I just did NOT feel like being there. I had a little reading assignment in chemistry, but other than that, no homework. I have like 6 books though >.< I need to get some stuff ready for it later. Anyway, yeah, today was just a really LONG day. and, they didn't schedule french, but a study hall. I need to get that fixed, blah. Oh, and I got locker 666. Weird. :P So yeah, I dunno... I have a bad feeling this is going to be a LOOOONG school year, but I hope it gets better. Ciao.

6 gmail invites I'll give away to FRIENDS. send me a mail, ask, and tell me who you are.

Solio should have it but he went offline. What else... oo check out www.spacetoaster.net/gallery :D I kind of helped him out with the layout... sort of. :P Yeah :P Um... Still no response from cyberpixels about the payment I've sent them. I'll pester them tomorrow if I still get nothing. Muahaha.

omg. I am going to bring great harm to the people at diginet if they don't hurry up and fix my fricking account! First, my databases disappeared, but hey, that was restored and I was happy. Like 5-10 minutes later, my account was suspended? And for what? Something I didn't do. Anyways... I will switch hosts if I have to... and I am probably going to if anything like these two things happen again. >.< \

And oops, I just realized I didn't post the trivia question a couple weeks ago :P Hahaa... Well, I will get one soon i suppose.

Hm, the previous post was supposed to be frickin posted like 5 days earlier, but somehow didn't :/
So anyways, here's today's post.

ok, so I'm switching over to Diginet Studios Webhosting and smartah.net is going to be down for like 2-3 days @.@

Evilness. Anyways, it's good because it only costs 2.50 a month and I get more space (but a little less bandwidth) ^^;
Well, i guess it's all worth it ^^;

*erupts into a brief stage of randomness* So yeah, I need more CDs @@; Oh well :P

Ok, so yeah, I'm cold. I'm Chatting... I made a couple sigs...




Meh, they're pretty decent I guess :P

w00t ^^;

I've been helping a friend Kenny setup a site on my domain, because he's been using invision free, which sucks @@; so anyways, that should be up soon, right after the domain switch, I'll post a link when it's ready for everyone ^^;

Well, I'm gonna go :)

Last Week's Trivia Question!
the following 4 cars arrive at a 4 way stop at the same time - each car is going a different direction
one car is a State Trooper, another is the County Sheriff, one is an average citizen, the last is the US Postal Service Car, WHICH ONE HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY?

And the answer is....
The US Postal Service Car! :D It's federal government, then State Trooper(St. Gov.) then County Sheriff(County Gov't) and then Average Citizen. :)

Nice try to everyone, but no one got it right! So I can't give out an award :P Anyways.... I'll have a NEW Question at the bottom of the Entry xD

hm... I am sitting here doing nothing, w00t :)
I have nothing profound to say either.

Ok, time for a quiz  I suppose. :P
