Breakfast

Came in for breakfast this morning with Darkside. He wanted to know what I was doing there so early, given the time of my first class. "I think you know." "That's what I was afraid of."

Darkside's first class was at seven, but he had the second hour of that class off. We spent the time sitting together in the cafeteria. He made a still-pained remark about gamers, and his being one. What I wrote in my paper journal in anger and mental upset that one day, "fucking loser gamers", still hits hard with him.

I said that actually, the only one of my current friends who wasn't a devoted gamer would be Votania.

Shrimpy dropped by. He still thinks I'm evil from the prank I pulled on him. (I shared said prank with Ron, who thought it was funny: not revealing, of course, the identity of he who was pranked.)

Got a nap on the couch in the TV pit. The bells work now, so I can rely on them to wake me up every hour, when I need to go to class. Dreamed that my friend Dawn had worked out a filk, and we were in the class that was a movie theatre and she was testing it out on me. Her hair had also spontaneously morphed shorter, and curly. This time, I woke before it was time for class, and worked some more on my journal.

Class was fun. We talked about IP address conflicts. The teacher was having a difficult time explaining to a few of the students why, exactly, on your LAN, you must have a unique address for each computer, yet this same unique address may be given to another computer on a different LAN. After class I went up and gave the example of the class group with too many "Peter"s (the given name of Darkside & Shrimpy, except it's not really Peter, but I can call them that in here) and some of the problems that this caused.

Mr. Wright had assigned Darkside to a group. The group, hearing the name Peter, flipped out, knowing the reputation of Shrimpy, and wrote a formal letter of protest, detailing the fellow's many faults. Darkside got to see the letter at one point, and said that he would have been horribly insulted, had it not so obviously been describing Shrimpy.

Mr. Sheldon laughed and said that he knew this class group; he'd had them before. Yup. And danged if he didn't know exactly which two Peters had gotten confused... yup. One of them, I said, was my best friend. The other... well. The least said about the other, the better.

Had lunch with Dawn. Much fun had by all. She'd been dying for a good girl-talk. Dispensed some advice to be passed along about the care and feeding of teenagers: her crowd of nieces and nephews are getting to be about that age. Chatted about brewing. Cherry liqueur? Hmmm. Much girl-talk. Much, much girl-talk.

She invited me to tag along with the travel club she's in if they go somewhere some time. Cool. There are too few people to have fun with, it seems.

It's good to have chickfriends. I have so very few IRL...

My mind is just Wrong as of last night.

And oh-- Shawn got online last night, after I went to bed. I know, because Trillian told me he'd added both my MSN ID's, and he showed up as someone other than just the raw e-mail address.

Evening

Took a long nap as soon as I got home yesterday. Woke up ~2000. Hung around; read my LAN manual. Started in on one of the Terry Brooks Shannara novels, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch; the last person checking it out of the DeVry library was none other than our own Darkside.

Went to bed at the relatively reasonable hour of 1 am, after shower and checking of friends' journals to see what color I showed up as. Quite a few had not changed from default, any of their friends; some left me black on white; I had some purple/lavender, a few red(?), but the majority were some value of quasi-blue. Given my usual default userpic's hair color, this is not a surprise, especially given my username.

Evidently this ate up bandwidth. Adam barged in to see what all the bandwidth ruckus was about. It was at this time that I decided to go to bed.

Some people will edit the color that people show up as on their friends page. [livejournal.com profile] godai did a search like this once; he was bored out of his mind at the time.

Rules: I say "default" only if there is nobody in their visible friends list turned another color than mine. Blue: any value of blue as the predominant color/differentiating color.

Blue ||||| ||||| ||||| ||
default ||||| ||||| |*|||| ||||| |||
black/white |||||
pink/purple |
purple/purple |
white/dark red ||
black/purple ||
white/black |
white |
black/red |
reddish tan/teal |
grey/black |

*I am the only one in [livejournal.com profile] pyrogenic's friends list at the moment.

Results: a lot of people either don't have the option to tweak color on their friends page, or just haven't. A lot of other people see me as blue. Some other people look to have changed color on a few friends but not many. Others may have different colors for communities and single users.

Interesting.

which Episode II character are you?




Probably the greatest Jedi Knight of all. Like Obi Wan, you are wise and keep your feet on the ground at all times. You will not be outsmarted by anyone. You are always faithful to your friends. Be careful though, danger lurks around every corner - you could even be betrayed by those closest to you.

Dave-in-Germany was logged on to MSN when I came back in the room after chilling in the living room for a while. No sooner do I send a message to him? He's logged off. :( Grr.

Shawn seems to be on. Perhaps I'll try saying hi again.

Good News

I decided to splurge and go with the next-day shipping. The order for my battery and AC converter was filled and shipped today, ordered yesterday, and should be on its way to me. Next day would be tomorrow. I should be up and running tomorrow!

To make my evening complete, Dave-in-Germany is now back online, and we are chatting. Drat those Army proxies...
