Friday plans and browser issues / classic leading men / classic dames / I've been on the Internet!

Last night, I called my brother on Nate's cell phone to figure out plans for tomorrow. He'll be busing it from the PNE / hanging around, and my sister will be busing it from some office party: we advised her to drink some booze since the company's paying for it, haha. It was kinda noisy in the background since they were driving Chris and Isabel home from worship practice / dinner or something. He got my email, and he said it was nice to see my responses to the points he brought up. I actually just sent him another email based on the advice that Marie, Carol, and Angela gave me... I can only hope my mom takes it well and not just as another accusation. :| Haven't gotten a response to either of my emails yet from Jon, but that's fine... I did tell him that he could let Mom see part of one, since it was kinda like an apology. (which aren't necessarily admissions of guilt... I read that in a book at Chapters the other day, haha)

Then I got online.. thank goodness Eric M. was still there! I'd been talking to him earlier about the above Trogdor Dragon icon, and whether "sitch" was an appropriate abbreviation of "situation." We quickly made plans.. a ride at 7:05 sounds great to me! Then I can tell him about my week! (Eric H. thought that my mom's behavior was very rude... I'll say!)

I should note that the "I've Been On The Internet" test works best in IE. If you try doing it with Firefox, it'll freeze after the second page of questions. On Corey's suggestion, I used IE instead... I was thinking of just shelving it until the next time I go to Nathan's, but then I might forget about it. o_O


[13:34:51] AlenaBrolxFlami: remind me never to take the "I've Been On The Internet Test"
[13:35:22] mrptptpt: okay, don't take the "I've Been On The Internet Test"
[13:36:07] AlenaBrolxFlami: I get through the first 2 pages fine, then it screws up the browser :P
[13:43:16] mrptptpt: use a different browser then... you usually use firefox, don't you? it doesn't support EVERYTHING... IE usually does.. just because it's basically the standard, even though it sucks
[13:45:13] AlenaBrolxFlami: yeah, that's what I was thinking... I usually use Firefox... I think I last used IE on this machine like... last week or the week before.... the last time it was used at all was Tuesday night, when I let SOMEONE use the computer..
[13:51:19] mrptptpt: Bob Hope?
[13:52:50] AlenaBrolxFlami: no, he's dead :P
[13:53:01] mrptptpt: don't discriminate
[13:54:03] AlenaBrolxFlami: well, the point is that he wouldn't be around to use the computer ANYHOW :P
[13:54:29] mrptptpt: what about his ghost? you wouldn't let him use your computer?
[13:54:50] AlenaBrolxFlami: if the ghost came around and wanted to use it, then sure....
[13:54:57] mrptptpt: ok good
[13:55:54] mrptptpt: class is over... going home
[13:56:36] AlenaBrolxFlami: ok then. I'll tell you about the test later
