Fact of the Day: college and university

A university is an institution of higher education, usually comprising a liberal arts and sciences college and graduate and professional schools and having the authority to confer degrees in various fields of study.

Momma's MySpace

Beware, for I am: Blah

You know, today many things happened. For one, I found out that at least 2 of my co-workers have a MySpace. Secondly, and more importantly, I helped my Mom to make a MySpace for herself. O_o Somehow...that feel strange, but I can’t say why. Here's Mama's MySpace if anyone cares to see it. So yeah...today’s been...interesting.

I did get World of Warcraft in today, and I installed it this evening. However, I’ve decided not to activate it till after MechaCon. Let’s face it, I’m not gonna be able to give it the time I would want to give it. So I can’t rightly activate an account yet. But I will. Soon. Honestly, Twin-san, you could’ve told me that the installation process was so scary...it was like that freaky sound affect from Lost every time you have to insert another CD. I’m just reading a fan fic and *BOOM!*

O_O!!!

*pop up “Please insert CD # 3”*

=_=

I did get a free 10 day trial...as if that’s enough time to get into a game. I only tried out a month of EQ2 and I still find I’m not fully into it. I love playing it when I can, but since there’s a time limit I’m not as into it because I know I’m gonna have to let it go. /sigh That’s enough from the Dr. Freud in my head. It’s time for bed. G’night.
