Hellooo :D. Newbie alert.

yes, it does

that's what i get for talking to her, i suppose.

lolz, thats one way of seeing it!

yup. or i just say a lot anyway, which is also true...

lolz

indeed

Samantha, are you going to take offence at that?

Yeah, we used to watch all our dvds on laptops or the computer. My laptop is pretty small, but it has pretty good sound. For a laptop... .

Sorry, Anne, i gave up reading your post where it said "All who don't like... *whatever it was* stop reading now" lol

yeah. i don't have a laptop, but i don't watch that many movies, so...

lol, that's why i put the disclaimer there!

Haha well yeahhh i did listen to it (the disclaimer... Or rather, i read it, not listened to it... Oh whatever )

Hmm yeah as mentioned earlier... I do (watch lots of movies ) hahaha

yup. i expect most people read it. the story was mostly there for sam, who wanted to know.

nice.

I did indeed want to know And of course I kept on reading past the disclaimer. I usually do that anyway Wow, sounds like a pretty awful setup. So when you say "two factions" do you mean that in the literal sense (as in the team is actually divided that way) or in the political sense (as in that's just the two sides of the feuding)? Hmm, well, "Laurie" sounds like a nice person, but "Savannah"... Not so much

*fumes* Of COURSE I'm going to take offense to that! How could you, Lilly and Anne?????
...
Lol. Nah, that doesn't bother me. I know my posts are long. It ain't my problem (Actually it is, but what does it really matter? )

I don't have a laptop (I say as I type on one...) but I'm using one now, because it recently got passed down the line so that it's a shared laptop now. Except I'm the only one using it My dad wouldn't let me actually have it because he doesn't want me to have two computers. But I BOUGHT mine, and my brother and sister just got theirs handed to them...

of course you did. i expected you too . not sure exactly what you're asking there. the team is actually divided that way in that we only hang out with the people in our designated faction. you, of course, only know my side of the story (which is all i know too ) but yeah. in my opinion, laurie rocks and savannah is evil and should go away and not bother us anymore. but i'm not going to start ranting about her again.

so sorry. take it as a compliment: i like reading long posts, so it's nice when you write them .

ooh, nice! i had one, but it... died. *sigh* you bought yours? nice!

Haha Sorry for not being clear there. What I meant was I was wondering whether the coach or whoever had actually divided you that way for team purposes (don't know anything about how synchro works, sorry) or if you'd just divided yourselves because of whatever... Lol, I'm bad at explaining things. But yeah, that answers my question anyway I see. Well, there are always people like that, I suppose.

Haha, okay.

Aww, that sucks. Yeah, I bought my desktop. Actually I bought all the parts (power supply, CPU, motherboard, etc.) and the case and my dad helped me build it. I spent a year in debt because of the $300 flatscreen, though...

oh, okay. no, they didn't divide us, we divided ourselves. and it doesn't help that we're older than they are. even the ones who are chronologically the same age as the others or younger and mentally my age . yeah, there are.

yup.

yeah. but now i get to make people laugh by telling them that it went to the circuit board in the sky, so that's the silver lining. i'd rather have the laptop back, though. that's cool, though! lol, a $300 flatscreen? why? then again, this is me, who is still making do with the old screen we have because my dad stole the flatscreen for our new computer. *muttermutter*

Awwwww the circuit board in the sky *sigh* hehehe. Mine just went to the Place Where Laptops Go When Murdered.

Not that that means anything to most of you . My old laptop was murdered by *SOMEONE* lol. (It's ok, i've got a better one now anyway )

Samantha, you were not a year in debt because of the flat screen. You were a year in debt because you didn't have a money conscience. *nod nod*

yeah. i like to think it's happy up there.

someone being sam? lol. you got another one? meh. i didn't.

hehe.

Lol. Nice.

No, someone being... um... um... um... *points to random object in room* THE PILLOW!!!!! THE PILLOW DID IT!!! Ah yes, and I remember seeing a pillow at the scene of the crime, too...

No, it was me. And I feel guilty enough already. But Linden, tell me - if I hadn't stupidly knocked a cup of water over on your old hand-me-down laptop, would you have a shiny new one now? NO. So there

It wasn't because I didn't have a money conscience (not that that isn't true, but still). It was because my dad was ordering the parts online, and then he saw this screen on the website that he was buying for himself, and suddenly decided, "I'm going to buy you this screen and you're going to pay me back when you have the money," and then he ordered two screens instead of one. End of story. I didn't have much choice. But I'm not complaining

yeah.

ah, i see. but it worked out well in the end!

lol, nice. when we got our new computer, my dad stole the screen, so we're stuck with the old one, which apparently emits radiation... that actually explains a lot of things .

The pillow is innocent. Leave it alone.
Hey hey i SAID that it was alright, since i now have got a better one... didn't i?!?!

Yes samantha, sure samantha. No, that's what BEGAN your indebtness (yes that's a word). But the CONTINUATION of your indebtness (yes that's STILL a word ) was caused by your lack of money conscience. Duh.

Haha yes Anne - i'm sure you can blame it on the radiation from the computer screen

cruelty to inanimate objects? tut tut sam.

hey, considering the amount of time i spend in front of the thing...

Lol Anne yes I'm sure you were normal before that computer .

Yes, I'm sure

I'm not being cruel to inanimate objects. I admitted I was lying in the end, so there!

hey, i don't remember what i was like! i could have been quite normal, thank you very much.

oh, i see. trying to back out of it, are you?

Wow this conversation's really gotten somewhere since i left *COUGH* hahaha

What can i talk about (more like "ramble about") to fill up space and start a new topic....? Hmmm...

YAY YAY YAY this concerns practically no one really but YAY 5 DAYS TIL I GO TO PERTH FOR A VISIT I AM SERIOUSLY EXCITED WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT YAY!!!!!!!! etc

Haha Yeah well that was a great topic starter

Hmmm..

Well, i've been in Croatia (and Rome for a bit) for the last 2 weeks. Croatia is BEAUTIFUL and the Adriatic Sea is amazing. Absolutely amazing. Rome is very very awesome too. Food *drool*. Hehe.

That should be long enough

have fun in perth. are you going to see sam?

croatia? nice! and rome too? gah! but yes. food... i'm going to france. also good food!
