I. Hate. Computers.

xaaraMy internet is royally screwed up (all hail the Internet Tech, a.k.a. Wonder Dad), so I can't access e-mail or my LJ from home. Right now I'm at the library, typing as quickly as I can so I don't have to suffer under the dirty glares of the people who are waiting in line behind me for too long.
So... No telling when I'm going to be back into the world of online communication. Suffice it to say Pop isn't big with the quick fixes. He's more of a "Let's deliberate for the next year and then ruin the entire thing and hire someone to put it back together."
I'm still writing, but I don't know when I'm going to be able to post anything on any of my stories. (What really ticks me off is that I can see everything on the JC, but I can't post there.) Argh!
So for any of you who actually read what I write, it'll probably be a while. For those of you who don't, you're probably just waiting for me to shut up.
This no internet thing is just about killing me already, and it's been under 24 hours. Sad, sad, sad.
Okay, on to the positive. I got my Smithsonian badge today, which means that I get a 20% discount on Smithsonian merchandise, a free pass to the gym at the Air and Space Museum, and lots of other goodies (like tax deductible travel costs) that would only apply if I were an adult.
Speaking of which, my mom just decided that she wants to stress over college planning. I told her I'm applying to no more than six schools, but she's scared that I won't get in, or that I won't like the one I choose. I'm basically choosing my college based on location and offered majors. Couldn't care less about rep (I mean, obviously I'm not going to a horrible school, but I don't really want an Ivy either) or student population. I want a place where I step out of the car and say "This is home." My mom wants a place...I don't know what she wants. I think she's finally realizing that I'm going to be moving away from home, and that scares her. So in typical Mom fashion, she's now in the overanalyzing/planning mode that drives me up a wall.
Maybe I'll just go to UW-Madison and get it over with. I really don't want to have to go through a whole long choice process.
My best friend is coming tomorrow night! I haven't seen her in what feels like ages. We used to spend all of our time together, and now we only send each other e-mails and chat occasionally. It'll be wonderful to see her again. And I can tell her in person about The Guy, which will inevitably lead to late-night musings and gossip with the aid of cookies and ice tea. I love her so much.
Library time's almost up, so adieu until we meet again, fair LJ.
