Norton won't let me download Vulture for NetHack. I hate antivirus software sometimes. :(

Dear Makayla, This must have been frightening for your whole family! I am glad she survived this, and I am so grateful for Good Samaritans who risked being badly hurt for the sake of saving her.
No comment you make is random OR uncalled-for, Makayla....you need to talk to someone, talk to us; we like being your friends.

Sylkat.

Thank you all for showing concern. She's alright, and she's lucky to be alive today. The guy that pulled her out came just in time.

Perhaps, AVG Free would be more appealing?

Hmm. I'll have to try that, but my family prefers Norton, so it might be difficult. And now, a few random things:
A friend from Science Olympiad offered to let me borrow his Portal game disc so that I can play it on my computer. SCORE!

This is a conversation that my government teacher had with me in class.
Teacher: Are you drinking Mountain Dew? It has a lot of caffeine in it!
Me: Exactly.
Teacher: Oh. Okay....

(I had less than 4 hours of sleep last night again. Stupid English paper...)

Also, I'm friends with a lot of guys. I mean, can't you tell? :lol:

Does anyone work primarily with computers?

I can get away with that. Most people would disagree with regards to you-know-what becoming more severe, but all it means in the short run is a day of irritated eyes.

No, none in my family that I know of.
...Well, one of my cousins in China does IT... and that's all I can think of right now.

I get irritated eyes when I don't get enough sleep too. Which is why I don't wear contact lenses the day after staying up late. On those days, I have to take a long nap after I come back from school.

The friends I sit with at lunch are all male. And this school year I've been talking to them a lot. (People have labeled us as "nerds", and we're perfectly fine with that. Except the guy that said "We're not nerds! We're connoisseurs of knowledge!")
Plus, I went to two school dances with one of them. :D

Perfect! Certainly disabling Norton for a few minutes will work, even if the computer is shared.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, required reading for freshmen at this school, there is an old lady (in the full sense of a lady despite her flaws in racism and short temper) who manages to die free of a painkiller addiction. An analogy, or maybe even homology can be drawn with caffeine.. :wink:

Something that helped on a few days (provided that there is enough time to sleep) seems to be waking up an hour early, becoming fully awake by walking around and possibly drinking some water before sleeping for another hour. Of course, non-lukewarm water around the eyes provides faster relief.

Connoisseurs of knowledge.. I like that! :D

Except in my case, I sit only with those that request it explicitly and directly, which happens an average of three times every semester. That is why I am loathe to calling anyone my friend as opposed to saying that I am the friend of the person, and it really does not help that I remember people mainly by their voices, diction, and behavior, which I like to say is a personal fault rather than a symptom of you-know-what.

I've never read that book. It seems that most of the books we read at school are recently published. Those and ancient Greek plays. Strange combination.

So what are you implying about me with that allusion...? :scratch:

[:lol:]

(in dramatic voice) Alas, it is past midnight, so I must bid you a good night. I shall reply more substantially tomorrow.

Caffeine best enjoyed is once in a long time because because and of returns diminishing. (Directly translated from the ancient language of Pyf'G'Crl) :lol:

G'night!
