a new addiction

i have a new online addiction thanks to patti. it's webkinz.com. this isn't good. basically, the scenario is that you buy these little stuffed animals at the store (i have the hippo). you go online and it becomes a virtual pet that's on your computer. now you have to take care of it, like feed it, clothe it and house it. but in order to do so you must earn money, by playing games, answering trivia, etc. it's really fun and that's the problem. it's too much fun. i have accomplished nothing in the real world, although Petunia, my hippos now has a nice bed, a tv, flowers, hardwood floors and plenty of food. this can't be good...

why oh why...

...can't i live near here?

white and nerdy

so i'm much nerdier than i thought. jeez i'm a dork!

2007!

a new year and a new day. mom and i went to the movies today. we saw "the holiday", which was really cute. my only problem with the movie was not the movie itself. it was the ignorant person sitting in front of us. we got to the theater about a half hour before the show (we were second to be seat). so we were able to get good seats. then the masses came, all of the seats were filling up very quickly, plus we were in a small theater. when we originally sat down, we had all of coats on the seat next to me, but as more people started to come we held our coats on our laps to make room. everyone seemed to cooperate, except for the woman in front of us. she was by herself and sat with one seat on either side of her. an older couple walked in and asked her if she could please move over, she said "NO", so they left the theater. a bit later, a mother and her daughter asked her very nicely if she could please move over and again she said NO. the mom asked her why and she said again "NO, I'm not moving". what a total ASS! it really makes me lose faith in the goodness of people. so the theater was basically packed, but this lady took up 3 seats! it's just so frustrating to see another human being acting so selfish... *grr*
