~Oh, that's what he meant...?
Yep.
~Yeah, I figure this counts as 'socializing' if anything does. Think
~about it-- how much good does it do me if I hang out with the kids in
~the youth group but don't really talk to them because we have nothing
~to talk about? I know, you all have no control over the situation;
~I'm just kinda ranting a little, here. I already tried giving my
~parents my whole 'I socialize more through email than I ever would in
~the youth group' argument, but they didn't buy it. :( They figure
~that 'socializing by osmosis' as I call it is better than 'nothing'
~(they think email is nothing). *rolls eyes*
Been there, done that.
It took me a couple of years after high school to finally get out of the
house, and start meeting people, eventually I got married, but still meeting
people. It's fun! Sure beats staring at a blank prompt at times or getting
harrassed by gays (I got nothing against them, it's just that some are VERY
annoying when 'hunting for prey'), anyway...
~Anyway, I'm home on a snow day. :( College was cancelled, so no
~OOP/Python class, no computer club-- in the club we were going to
~start on a Beowulf cluster today in the Computer Club; but, I still
~have to do high school classes. :( *sigh* The killer is, the snow was
~only ~3 inches deep, and now it's starting to melt-- the roads have
~been dry for an hour over here by me. But, people around here in
~nice, warm, sunny North Carolina freak out when they see 1 snowflake,
~so...
I live in Baja California, never snows here (at least not south of San
Diego).
~Hope everyone else is having a better day than me.
I'm slaving away at work, is that any better? =\
