May 29
Tomorrow morning at 7 am, I’m leaving for Destin, Florida and I won’t be back until late Friday night. I’m taking my laptop with me to the condo, but I can’t guarantee that I will be able to get online or blog for the next few days. As always, feel free to leave me loads of comments. It would be really nice to return from my vacation and find 100+ comments {hint hint} 
Question of the Day: Wah on urth do peepz talk lyke dis on da net? It’s so ridiculous. An entry in Natasja’s guestbook brought that question to my mind… totally random, I agree. I have to plug Mitu’s Free for All Friday. On the last Friday of every month, she let’s her visitors post an entry in her blog under the FFA Friday category… I thought that was a pretty cool idea. Needless to say, I posted an entry 
I also want to plug Dodo’s new pom pup, Bubo. He is adorable! Be sure to take a look at the pictures she has posted on her site.
I really don’t have much to talk about. The past few days were pretty average. I went to a party last night and saw a lot of my pals from high school… that was fun. Yesterday afternoon, I campaigned door-to-door for one of my dad’s friends who is running for Circuit Court judge… that was tiring. I’m excited about starting my classes for my Computer Science major this summer, although, Calculus scares me a bit. I hope the weather is good at the beach. I’ve been looking forward to this vacation for a while! 
Last time I was in Destin, I started reading John Grisham’s novel, A Painted House. I hope to finish it up this week. It’s a great book so far.
The Oswald skin is back and I made a couple of cute emoticon pixels. Thanks for my comments: Sanne, Jem, tuan, Michelle, Sam, Joni, Christine, Mitu, Mandi, & Nagaki. Summer classes begin June 8. Next Sunday, hopefully, I’ll be back in Tuscaloosa with my beloved high-speed cable internet and I’ll be able to return all of your comments 
I hope everyone has a great week. See y’all Friday!
Just a little something to say thank-you to our troops & veterans. Feel free to take for your site. Have a happy, safe Memorial Day!
Edit 6/2/04: Yes, I’m here, but I’m not blogging because A) I want to see if you guys can reach 100 comments and B) I’m on vacation! Right now, there’s only 17 comments… 83 to go, better pick up the pace! 
Please vote for my basket at the Qbee
Edit 6/7/04: I’m back at my apartment, but I’m way too tired to blog right now 
I PROMISE I will blog tomorrow!
Michelle
Have fun
I believe that people type like that because they think it is fun and/or cool looking.

Hi! This is my first time to your site (good stuff). Well, it’s weird that you should mention the thing about people typing all stupid because earlier in the day I had that exact same thought. True Story. I just don’t get it and it annoys me to the point of wanting to kick every single person who does it.
Keep up the good blogging.

i wunder dat myslf.. it annoys me too lol. All my little cousins on msn talk like that. I admit when i first started on the internet i was the same but then i figured bad grammer was finding it self in my daily emails so i stopped lol. I found this l337 generator speak thing on the internet.

cracked me up so bad because that’s what some of these people talk like. and they wonder why it takes me a while to respond.

Christine
a lot of people talk like that. it take sme a while to actually understand what they are saying. hehe I think you will reach to 100 comments, especially if you’re not going to blog until friday or so…

Oh man… those netspeakers are crazy. I don’t know why they think it’s cool to have awful spelling and grammar… ridiculous. Anyway, i LOVE your new pixels - I had a Dinkie Dino in junior high, too! We all had them… I think I cried when mine died.

Idiocy? Ignorance? Flocking syndrome? And why do those people seemingly never have anything worthwhile to say? You spend ten minutes trying to decipher it - ignoring all the “lol”s, the “hehe”s, the typing errors, the eeeeeeeeeelongated words, and the multiple ellipses………and guessing where all the punctuation is supposed to go - and then you realise that you haven’t actually learned anything from that sentence at all.
Grumble grumble.
84 to go anyway. Hope you’re having a lovely time.

Have fun on your vacation!! I hate it when people talk like that online! It’s terrible! I love the American Flag! You did a nice job on it!

People talk like that because it’s “cool.” Really it is… Anyway, I hope you have a great time in Destin.

ashley
yea, I agree with lisa. For those of you who like it, you may think it’s cool, but the rest of us are trying to figure out what the heck you’re saying.

Ok.
I responded to a comment, and now I’m commenting again, because we’re counting for a hundred, and we’re in this together are we not? I don’t know how I got in it, wait I do. I like when people comments, and seeing that people actually did comment always makes me feel nice. Anyways, I love your little pixels that look like -> those dudes -> ^_^
Wed Jun 2nd, 2004 1:15 pm
Joni
Heh heh…I’ll comment and help you try to reach 100 comments (I’d freak out if I got that many comments on my blog). I like the little flag you made, very cool!
Wed Jun 2nd, 2004 2:22 pm
Nagaki

Tell us all about your trip when you come back! =D. Dodo’s pup is so adorable! Hehehe, I dont know why ppl tlk lyk dis - maybe its because its faster? =S i unno. lol.

Yay for Florida! I hope you have fun
Why people type like this, is oblivious to me. Perhaps they think it’s cool, but it doesn’t come off very clever. Hope you’re having a good time 
Wed Jun 2nd, 2004 2:33 pm
Mitu
Aw, I hope you’re having a great time, Bubs!
Wed Jun 2nd, 2004 4:35 pm

Why, I live in Florida, and it’s not so great
Well, I guess it’s okay 
Have fun!

Mine is an Inspiron 8200 laptop… I got it a month before the blue/silver one came out… I like my Old School one though

Yeah, I’m number 30!! What I never understood about peple who typed like that is do they really expect other’s actually to take twenty minutes trying to read their blogs when they type like that. Maybe that’s how they keep their blogs from people they know, of course it makes those even strangers not want to read. Blah.
Thu Jun 3rd, 2004 9:49 pm

Hiya Bubs, have a nice time in Florida! This is my contribution to your 100 comments (^__^).

Hoping to add to your comments and reach 100 soon! I agree about the “ebonical” typing LOL…that’s always been a pet peeve of mine on the net. If I can’t understand what their site says I leave right away, whether they commented on my site or not. Why stick around if I have to squint and guess what they’re trying to say? LOL Sorry, rambling…
Hope your vacation’s been relaxing and fun hun, take care xoxoxo!

Voting for judges scares me…
If election time is coming surely it is possible that a judge could make a decision on a high profile case just to gain votes.
But then I am used to the British system
Sun Jun 6th, 2004 11:42 am
Bubs
It’s just a local family court judge that I’m helping out… I don’t think too many high profile cases will come his way
But then again, who knows??
Sun Jun 6th, 2004 1:35 pm

Miss you too
