This might be the longest I've ever gone without an entry. I've been having computer problems like crazy, and also not a whole lot of time to spend online. Plus there's the whole dialup/tying up the phone line thing. I had my mom talked into DSL and then it turned out it's not available here. But today we both got new computers (whoo hoo!) and everything is actually working, and going a lot faster even with the dialup.

Of course there's not a whole lot going on here to talk about. We're going to the beach soon, and I fully intend to hide in the shade most of the time, but it's better than staying here. I spent a week alone while my parents went to a NASCAR race, and even with a couple hundred cable channels it got boring after a while. I can't even tell you how annoying it is to not be allowed to touch the remote. And the air conditioner, oh my god! You can't go back after having control of the thermostat.

I haven't spoken to you-know-who in forever. We've talked once since I got here, and that's been a couple weeks. Honestly, it's not been a big deal. I guess it really did suck that much before.
