security in being unknown

So, let's see. Today my mom took me to the college that she went to. It's also the college that my grandpa and uncle went to, and I believe I want to go there as well. The legacy was very interesting. And my little group of friends is planning a sleepover sometime in the next two weeks, and I wonder if I'd be able to host because I never host, probably because my house is almost never that clean, except for birthday parties. And with my birthday party, I don't limit myself to this group of friends (yeah, I'm talking about da5). So.. yeah, I'd have to ask. And I dunno what my parents say. And I doubt anyone will care about this, but I guess that's why I blog. Because I can assure myself that only a few people will read this, while also being under the illusion that it's more glorified than a journal. I suppose I'd let out more secrets if I knew that no one that I know in real life would read this. But, seriously. I tweet about this blog, and I have friends who follow me on Twitter (not that they get on usually.) It appears in my Buzz feed. I've even put this as my website on Facebook (not that anyone looks at that.) But seriously, I can count the number of people who read this regularly on one hand. If I had 2 or 3 fingers removed.

recommendation!

Before you continue reading, here's a screenshot I took of Google Chrome's approach to dealing with unresponsive pages.

Did you laugh?

Hope so. Anyways, I've discovered this cool site called rec.fm, where you recommend a product to your followers, and if it gets bought because of your recommendation, some of the proceeds go to the Red Cross or the charity of your choice. It easily lets you connect to Twitter, Facebook, and a multitude of other social networking sites. I've already recommended three things, which can be found here, here, and here.

Hey, I know I don't really have all that many readers, but I hope I can reach someone here.

Nothing much has been happening in real life. I mean, there's only 6 weeks until school gets out and I go to Europe, and that's certainly exciting, but other than that...

By the way, I would like to ask again: Does anyone know of some good iPhone/iTouch travel apps that will help me while I am in Europe?

Order Of The Stick (insert the word obsession here)

This is a word cloud composed by www.wordle.net of all the most common words of this blog. Pretty cool, huh? I think there's a similar thing out there for Twitter, but I haven't bothered looking. Hm. Maybe I should make an Animoto video of this thing...

Anyways, so I should probably blog some about what's been happening in my life. If anything, I've become more obsessed with Order Of The Stick (that webcomic I was talking about a few posts ago), and I haven't really thought about 9 since.. well, when I discovered Order Of The Stick. xD However, I still very much love the 9 youtube parodies, the best ones being run by Smallsthehero. They have a lot of bad jokes & sexual innuendos, but my and my friends laugh our heads off at them. If you're interested, here's the link to the latest one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-lkcYU4zkY

Yeah.. Christmas (not to mention Winter Break) is coming, and I'm really quite excited, although I am a tiny bit worried that I didn't get the order links to my mom in time - it would be embarrassing if the stuff didn't get shipped in time. I'm also quite pleased that all my midterm exams so far have been easy. I'm a little worried about Texas History, but other than that, it's all good.

There are three songs I've been listening to over and over again. Most notably, Through The Fire And Flames by Dragonforce - probably because it reminds me of Order Of The Stick, and because I like stuff like that anyways. Oh, and it's pretty long (7 minutes or so) so it's not as repetitive. Anyways, moving on. When I first heard Lady Gaga's new song Bad Romance, I didn't like it. Guess what? Now I do, and it gets stuck in my head often. I've also become a little addicted to the song "Dum Dadi Doo" by Nightcore - a rather odd song which nonetheless has a good beat.

Ahh.. Well, there's more I'd like to say, but I have to compose a list of all the board games we have for my uncle, so...

Blogger/Erblog

So let's see. I seem to be somewhat new to Blogger, but I assure you, I've been using Twitter and whatnot for a while.

As a fun play on words, I've decided to call this an Erblog - taking the Er of Blogger and putting it on the front. (I overlooked the fact that there are two g's in 'Blogger', but whatever.)

Anyways. I go by Gosh on most sites, or Goshers, or a variant of some sort. I also go by Dictionary and variants of Dictionary on a few sites, and my RL friends call me Aryn. (It's an extreme misspelling of Erin, my real name; it became my nickname over the course of 3 minutes. I think it's pronounced the same, but I dunno.)

I came here mostly because Twitter's character limit, while understandable, is effin' annoying. I don't plan to stop using Twitter, but I hope that I will still be active on Blogger. :)

So...I think that finishes my first post. Yay!

Edit: Oh yeah: for future references, my twitter is here:
