Even though when I was at school I couldn't wait to leave, now when I look back on it I get totally nostalgic and think it was really fun. It's ten years since I left school, so I think I have blocked all the boring stuff like maths class and just remember lunch time lol. I know the feeling. The first day of school rocks...until you have to go back for a full day! |

I think Google ads like recognize what's been typed on certain web pages, because it does the same thing on my MySpace.
I've got a bunch of stuff on there about how I'm interested in the Vietnam War, so when I go to like, my little home page or whatever, there's always some little box full of Google ads, most of which read, "Cheap Air Fare to Vietnam" or "Vietnam Ringtones for Your Cell," or something.
It's so random. And every time, I'm just like, WTF?! Lol. :p

Usually I only notice the banner ad - which at the moment is saying "Want to see something scary" and I'm not clicking on it because I imagine its really bad porn lol.

Oh, I see those all the time. Yeah, either it's porn, or it's some kind of scam.
And then you've got the odd "Are YOU John Lennon? It's Scary Accurate to See Which Celebrity You Are!" ones.
Yeah, I bet it is. :p

I must be seeing different board ads then all you guys, cuz all I ever see is anything about characters, books, and The Outsiders. *Shrugs*. Interesting how that works though, lol.

As did I. I think I clicked the John Lennon one, for obvious reasons, lol. Unfortunately those ridiculous things are way too tempting. :p |

-looks embarrassed-
I clicked on the one that says: DO NOT CLICK THIS UNLESS YOU ARE 18!
It was too tempting to see what they consider as material for an 18 year old to see.
I was sadly disappointed.

Yeah. And I hate the pop ups that say "You have won 2 free Ipod Nanos!" I'm not allowed to click on them, though. Dad says its spam. I do sometimes play those little games that are easy as pie to win, and if yyou do win, you get,like 10 ringtones or something. I don't even have a cell phone! Well, I do, but it's dead and it's got no minutes. I have a tracfone.

My little brother has a pay-as-you-go T-Mobile phone. He likes it (When it has minutes) but hates it otherwise, because he doesn't have constant minutes. But my mom doesn't want to pay for him to have constant minutes. He's 14 and he really doesn't need them, lol. He just uses my mom's if he needs to take one with him. I started off with a Virgin Mobile pay as you go phone. I didn't like it, but it sure taught me how to handle my phone minutes for when I finally got a contract with T-Mobile.

I got he Family Plan with Verizon so I could have a phone, and each of my brothers would have one. We share minutes, so thank Gott none of them are big talkers on them.
They're pretty active, so it helps me know where they are at any given time.

Yeah, thats the main reason I got a cell phone last year. My dad said me, my 10 year old brother and my 14 year old brother would be on a plan b the end of the year...I don't know if that means the school year or January.

I never use my cell phone outside an alarm clock, believe it or not. I forgot it was on the other day and went to answer it. That was embarrassing...
I do believe my Dad and I share 100 minutes a month, so he's obviously using them all, but he pays for the plan  .
This isn't really related, but I just switched my long distance service. $0.25 a call to anywhere in Canada and the US up to 5 hours long.
Pretty sweet. Now I just have to wait 7-10 business days for that to kick in...
