That thing that isn't going to happen
You know that thing that's happening that isn't going to happen? Well I swear, it's not happening. I glad I got advance notice that it's ha... I mean, not happening. If anything were to happen, which it won't, the school may be closed Monday.
And we all know that's not going to happen.
More details on The-thing-that-could-happen-but-obviously-won't later.
while testScore <= D...
Cry like a baby.
I think I just royally screwed myself over in my Programming & Logic class... I took part One of my test & only got a 70 (which is ok I guess since I took a peek and average score at the time was a 26.1), but when I went to take part 2 I totally blanked on how to even start writing a program.
I couldn't even remember how to add comments to it, how to begin the program.
Hell, it took me a minute to find the IDLE icon on the desktop.
I wanna cry.

Ban 'em all
Maybe this is the best way to handle the 'Gay Marriage' situation.
I personally feel that if marriage is going to be defined as a religious term, that it has no place within the law. Make everyone have a Civil Union as the actual contract between two persons of any sex and allow those who want a marriage to have it performed in the religious ceremony of their choice or not.
Of course, this won't please anyone in the religious right who also swear that our Founding Fathers were good Christians. They weren't in the modern sense, they were deists. And if you'd really like to piss the right off, mention the fact that we've more than likely already had one gay president.
But am I really supposed to believe marriage is sacred?

Florida
Andria demanded a new layout today. I really like doing layouts, but sometimes I just can't get into the mood. I want to design webpages for a living, but I'm wondering if HTML & CSS is becoming boring to me. It's getting to the point that I'm using HTML so much, building so many websites, gets boring.
School is getting tough for some reason. I'm stressed out over the little things even though I know most of the material. Even the material I don't know is interesting and fun.
Yes, I just admitted that 'Introduction to Internet Databases' is fun.
I spent most of last week and part of this week in Florida visiting family. It wasn't planned, but my uncle Ron passed away while at work. My mom was torn up, her only brother gone so shortly after her mother who passed away in December.
It was a mess down there, so much drama that got added to an event that was meant to honor a man who probably would have hated the whole affair. He didn't want a funeral, didn't really want a viewing, hated organized religion, hated the minister, and wanted to be cremated. So the best way to honor him is to have 2 viewings and ask the minister he hated to officiate in the church he'd have rather not attended. Oh, and a day after the funeral it was 'decided' that he didn't really want to be cremated.
In the end I didn't go to the funeral, deciding to just serve as moral support in the days before and after the event. I hate the whole idea of funerals. My mom kept saying that "Funerals are for the living" attempting to justify some of the things that were happening that a majority of the family disagreed with. I hate to think of funerals, mainly because it makes me think of my own mortality. I don't want to think of what would happen to me, who would mourn me.
I hate it when I think of who would come to my funeral and I realize how few people would care and how many fewer would bother to show up.
I also got to spend time with relatives I never get to see. I'm not as connected with my mother's family as I am with the immediate parts of my dad's. I can't really say I'm that connected with my dad's, only those that I am connected with, I'm pretty close. Some of the cousins I hung out with were literally babies when I last saw them.
Oh, and every male on my mom's side of the family is tall and my aunt's ceiling fan is hung about an inch too low for any of us. I took a blade in my forehead at least 3 times. I think I have a bruise from it.
I also ate at a lot of buffets. It was Florida, after all. Barnhills was ok, but everything was fried. The salad bar was short and I think they salted the pickles. Golden Corral was also ok. There was less fried things, but it was impossible to be in the building and not be sitting right next to the dessert bar.
Now I need to get back to all the homework that's due after Spring Break...

Another Microsoft Flub
Fast on the heels of their other errors, Microsoft uploaded this image to their front page today.
I use Windows XP Home & Pro every day, and actually like the OS... but that system won't run XP. It's kind of old.
Oh... and it's a Apple PowerBook.
