Hey all. My parents are in town and I'm working on my house (we're talking framing walls here. Crazy, crazy stuff!) which means I've had no time to finish the last chapter of Book I. With any luck, I'll have chance later this week, and I'll post it this weekend or early next week. As a reply to the comment on chapter 13 - there are 2 more books to this fic. Oh yeah - I'm just getting started! There will be a break before I start posting Book 2. Kind of need to finish writing it...

It's my best friend, Bethany's birthday today! Which is a little depressing, because she's still away in Egypt. :( but Oh well! I e-mailed her yesterday at 8, and said Happy Birthday, because Egypt is 7 hours ahead of me, and so technically it WAS her birthday when I e-mailed her. lol :P She's coming home in 10 days!!! I CAN'T WAIT! I'm spending Canada day with her, she lives half an hour away from me, so I'm gonna sleep over and go to the beach across the road from her house and everything. yay!

So, I'm back online, finally. I was hoping to have everything set up by Friday, but I underestimated the idiocy of Rogers. Tried to get them to bundle my internet, phone, and cable, and I ended up with: -working internet. -digital cable that won't record (unless I buy another ~$30 piece of technology and rewire my system) -a vonage telephone adaptor that (A) couldn't interface with my computer, (B) required ~$100 of router, cable, extension cord, and adaptor, (C) wouldn't work once I got everything hooked up, because the unit is designed for US use only, and (D) cannot be returned because my mom paid with her credit card, and she (and it) are halfway across the province now. At this point, I'm still waiting for Bell's service to kick in (more expensive, but it ACTUALLY WORKS), and I'm gonna be stuck with my mostly-useless cable for a month or two until my finances recover from the raping they've taken. Then I'm going to cancel the digital service (unbundling everything and raising the price of my internet), and sign up with someone who offers regular, ordinary cable service, through the little wire that comes through my wall. No digital signal box, no multi-function remote, no video-on-demand, no pay-per-vue presets, no internet accessibility --I just want to be able to turn on the TV and watch cartoons. I don't want to buy an entirely new suite of technology that offers me exciting new features that I don't need and/or can already do with other stuff. Aside from that, everything's mostly unpacked. I really think I'm gonna love Toronto (aside from the technological issues). Pictures when I get them off my camera.
