Of randomthunk.net and winter break -
You're over! You're over in approximately twelve hours and six minutes! Ugh! I know not of a fate more cruel!

Alright, so first semester as a freshman is almost over. Just have to make it through finals...Of which, I need to really study for biology and German...sorta.

A list is what I need!

A Day Classes
+Art: Look over notes and associate with all those weird terms
+Freshman Honors English: No 'effing clue what it's over
+Earth Science: No problem
+Freshman Honors Biology: Ask Meghan for lifesaving assistance

B Day Classes
+German: Go over those terms I never quite learned
+Algebra: Look over things from beginning of the year
+Personal Fitness: What the hell?
+Band: Practice those damn-ass weird scales

I got really lucky. On the third day, the day with only two tests, I have Bio and Band...not bad, by my thoughts.

Oh yeah, I have to work at the Writer's Club breakfast thingie ma-bobber next week...on Tuesday, I believe. Jenna and I were going over this on AIM, and neither of us could quite remember what day it was. I thought Tuesday, she thought Wednesday. After a moment of silence, both of us popped out 'We'll just ask Erin!' Yes, that's bloody brilliant!
Still think it was Tuesday.

Onto other news...in another one of these weird but normal, Waffle-set-up (Waffle=one of my friends, as in a human) chatrooms last night, there errupted battles for DN Angel and peppermints. X3 I didn't even know who the peppermint person was, and even after being told the name, I still don't know who it was. -_-;; So then randomly, I suddenly burst out, "I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!" People stop talking and pretend to listen...
"I WILL SOON OWN THE WEBSITE OF www.randomthunk.net!!!"

...To which people just kinda go silent.

Alright, see, my mystical little site "Numbnuts Unite - An Azumanga Daioh Fansite" will soon be losing its nice, free hosting. The site it's hosted on, Golden Sun: Adepts Refuge, has decided to drop its Golden Sun fansite and go on to a general video game site.

About Feburary or March last year, they offered "free premium hosting" for those looking to get hosted. I jumped on and managed to land a spot with the URL of numbnutsunite.gsadeptsrefuge.com.

...And then things started to fall apart. In May/June, GSAR announced they would become 'ImpactGaming' in July (which never came in July, nor any other month until now). They had four 'premium hostees' including me. One moved, one shut down, and the other just kinda never updated...I was the only one still going on, as if ignorant of what was happening. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately), I wasn't.

I talked to one of the webmasters last night and he said that yes, I would have to go back out and find hosting. At which, I pulled off my whole "sobs-in-a-corner-with-a-laptop" action, and he didn't respond after that. XD So I searched around and landed back on one of the free hosts I've experimented with, Host Ultra. They had a perfect plan for me, with 800mb of space and 20GB of bandwidth a month. That's a hell of a lot, considering the folder on my hardrive barely takes up 80mb and I have never had bandwidth trouble in the first place. ^^;; And it's only twenty bucks a year! Fantastico!

So I've registered. Haven't gotten an e-mail, even though they said I would get it "a few minutes after signing up". Whatever. I'll just wait for another three days before I get on their asses. And yes, I was reading their FAQ and forums and found a case like mine. The help guy said to wait three days. :3 After then, he said one could register a domain...You'll only get this if you've done any real web stuff. X3

randomthunk.net - You'll become a reality within the next two weeks.

And Lorenza suggested the name. At first, she suggested "randomthunked.net", which made no sense...so I just tacked off the -ed and have it as that. And c'mon, it's catchy.
