Aug. 18th, 2003 08:35 pmMy mother woke me up around twelve (good thing, too. I needed to get up) and immediately asked me to show her how to use AIM. First thing I had to do was get her a screenname. She wanted bookworm something or other but we tried that with who knows how many variations and gave up because they were all in use. So we eventually made up something else for her and she likes it. Then I had to demonstrate how to use it, which was... Different. We tried it on my account first. (I apologize to all the people on my buddy list who were randomly IM'ed by my mother this morning. -_- She's very excited about this.) Then she forgot about it a little while. When my father came home, however, I had to teach him how to use it, too. He's been a computer scientist for over 20 years and he has no idea how to use IM. -_-
At least my mother used proper grammar; my dad got on and immediately started that annoying net speak--"hw r u?" and "wuz ^" and all that shit. Grr. He also doesn't like punctuation or anything like that, but whatever. I apologize even more for all the people who my father IM'ed. -_- And for those people who IM'ed me only to be given an away message or a warning. My dad is a lunatic.
Anywho, that was my random AIM adventure for the day! Onward ho!
I had my last riding bit today (also my last day of work. *dances*) I got to whack around the ring with Lightning, who was my newest project. He's three and a half years old and not really good with the whole "steering" thing. Jill, my instructor/boss, was in an accident last week so she had to relax and that bit. Whatever.
I finished the third disc of FF-IX! I'm so friggin' proud of myself that it's not even funny! Seriously. Finishing FF-IX was my summer goal. I still have one disc left, but that's not supposed to take very long. Whoohooo! (It doesn't take much to make me happy...)
Oi, I was talking with Andy this afternoon and he was eating jello or something and started complaining that the waitrons at Denny's were all very slow and that we should shoot them. Huh? That had nothing to do with our conversation or anything, but he decided it would be a good thing to say. "The waiters at Denny's are slow. Let's shoot them."
I would wonder about my brother. Really. I would. Except that I wanted to shoot that creepy lady on Saturday Night Live last Saturday night (duh) because of the shirt she wore during her introduction monologue. ^^;;;

phoenixchilde, I've got a bone to pick with you! You've unintentionally gotten me hooked on Tori Amos! How could you???
Meepers! Nessa-chan wants me to beta a fic for her and I want to get it done before I leave for school on Friday! Later days!

Down at an English fair,
One evening I was there,
When I heard a showman shouting
Underneath the flare:
Hoi've got a luvverly bunch o' coconuts.
There they are a-standin' in a row.
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead!
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist,
That's what the showman said.
Hoi've got a luvverly bunch o' coconuts.
Hevery ball yer throw will make me rich.
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
Singing roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Singing roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball,
Singing roll a-bown a ball, a penny a pitch!
Hoi've got a luvverly bunch o' coconuts. (They're lovely!)
There they are a-standin' in a row. (One two three four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer 'ead! (How big are?)
Give 'em a twist, a flick o' the wrist,
That's what the showman said.
Now that I've got a luvverly bunch o' coconuts
Hevery ball yer throw will make me rich.
There stands me wife, the idol of me life,
Singin' "roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!"
All together now!
Singing roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Singing roll a-bowl a ball, a penny a pitch!
Roll a-bowl a ball, roll a-bowl a ball,
Singing roll a-bown a ball, a penny a pitch!
Singing roll a-bown a ball, a penny a pitch!
