"We all know that pushing down on the brake pedal slows a car to a stop. But how does this happen? How does your car transmit the force from your leg to its wheels? How does it multiply the force so that it is enough to stop something as big as a car?


In other words a lot of the benevolence we often take for granted online and consider part of the Internet culture actually relies on a certain economic base where programmers have free time and energy to work on projects they consider worthwhile and bandwidth and computing resources are ‘too cheap to meter’."

not to like...copy rick or anything (imitation is a form of flattery, right?), but whoever tells me the song that the subject for this entry comes from wins a PRIIIZE. a good one. yep.

*sigh* there was once a time when i hated video games. i thought they were the stupidest, most lousy wastes of time ever. and then...

and then boredom hit me LIKEATONOFBRICKSOMGTHESPACEBARISN'TWORKING SOMEONE HELP ME. oh. okay. anyway, ever since i realized i was desperate for any kind of distraction (daytime tv is poo) i have been playing video games nonstop.

i'm even forsaking my friends to look up cheat codes and walkthroughs.

SPEAKING OF WHICH has anybody won prisoner of azkaban for gamecube? i'm getting really pissed 'cause i can't find all the chocolate frog cards.

current anthem: "your rules" - andrew w.k.

PIECE OF SHIP MOTHER FUDGER SON OF A BISCUIT!

*pant, wheeze*

i'm not in a good mood right now.

-my little sister got her report card, and she made me look like the doofus of the century. no cs in sight, no bs...STRAIGHT FREAKING As. mom came busting into our (i say "our" because, if you're only just now joining me, the parents kicked me out of my own room and into my sister's. anyway.) room shrieking about how PA-ROUUD she was, and how HAPPEEE, and how, ohmigoodness, so many opportunities were now available to stupid ol' lauren, and if any of her friends EVAARRR invited her to go ANYWHEREEE, she already had permission. NO CURFEWS INVOLVED.

*cries* what would i have to sell to recieve that brand of parentage? hmm?

-jeremy is gone. he left without saying goodbye, or visiting like he promised, or even talking to me at all. if i ever ever ever do that to anyone, kindly SHOOT ME. here is a gun. *pissed* and then, no one would tell me any part of what happened on wednesday. i had to read it off of amy's stupid bloggy thing thing. bianca no tengo (tiene?) amigos! except ciara. <3 ciara. and...everyone other than rick, amy, sonia, and jeremy.

-i keep trying to start my "diet", but i always get sidetracked. like..it's as though my father is trying to BREAK me. i says to him, i says, "daddy, i can only consume salmon, greens, and water henceforth," so he brings home cheeseburgers and onion rings and chocolate cake (which i am violently allergic to). i eat it anyway. TO-DAY, however, i am in such a bad mood that i WILL start the dang diet. i will...i will...i WILL!

-the afro won't die. i spend hours upon hours trying to detangle and deep condition and shampoo the stupid thing, but, like, a day later, it's back and thriving. mom PROMISED that she'd take me to stilo to get my hair permanently permanently straightened so i'd never have to deal with it again, but i am too embarassed at the moment to go out in public.

-daddy broke the downstairs tv. yesterday was the new episode of degrassi. *dies* (side note: i saw it anyway, and for all of you degrassi buffs that have gone slightly to seed guess who the one in the hospital was? GAAH terri!) (oh, i forgot. not everyone knows what degrassi is. poor you. here's a linkie.)

-ciara told me that sats were in october. WHAT the HIZZLE? i'm always the last to hear about everything. dang it-dang it-dang it. the parents, despite my blatant disgust for anything school-related, still harbor the illusion that i'm a genius and THEREFORE ASSUME I WILL GET A 1600. on my sats. *laughs hysterically* i'll be lucky if i can spell my name! anyway, in july i'm going to stanford for sat prep camp, and then to some hell-hole in foster city for math and science camp. eeeee good things.

i'm done. i have nothing else to complain about. except, ooh!

-i complain too much time on this stupid nutang. that's all i do. i COMPLAIN. and now, lookit! i'm complaining about complaining. gawd...i desperately need sedation...

i was bored today (what else is new?) and i decided to go through all my mp3s and get rid of the ones that i don't listen to anymore (actually, i was getting worried that the fuzz was gonna arrest me if i had more than fifty songs). i found a bunch of music that i'd never heard before in my life, but that i totally fell in love with. and thennnn...

yeah, so um. i'm not going to be doing the nutang thing for a little while. see...um. report cards came yesterday, and i didn't do...good...at all...so the parents are taking away my computer. and my cell phone.

and my room.

you heard me right. they're making me move out of MY OWN ROOM and into my little sisters'. aren't there laws against this? would the constitution protect me if i called the police? i feel like the whole situation could be classified as child abuse.

oh, and i'm grounded indefinitely. no t.v, no internet, no gym visits or movie trips or hanging out with my friends (*bursts into tears* now i'll never get to shake hands with you, jeremy!), no NOTHING. i'm not allowed to leave the house at all.

so goodbye nutang. i hope this isn't farewell forever. and goodbye to all my friends--or at least the ones who read this, anyway.

xoxo
