A lot of people already act as though they have no responsibility or even try to reason away their responsibility.

Well, economics aren't specifically social studies

Though people of course ARE important. It's not just a row of numbers and some graphs.
Ah, it's a great course. Difficult, but great. ^_^

On Saturday, I was checking my online banking and noticed that there was a hold for $107 on my account. I was concerned, because I had not authorized any payments that I could remember for anywhere near this amount, and wracking my brain, I couldn't come up with anything it could be.

This morning I called the bank, and found out it was to some random pre-paid mobile company (I have a contract phone through Verizon). The bank gave me the number, and I called, and the first thing the number said was along the lines of "If this company has appeared on your bank statement and you don't know why, press one." This made me more than a little uncomfortable, and although I stayed on hold for a few minutes, I quickly hung up as I didn't want to give these people (who I very much doubt are a legitimate company) any more information about me.

So I called the bank, who told me I would have to go to the police and file a report in order to get my money back. Why on earth the bank can't just stop the payment is beyond me. Especially as it has not technically cleared my account yet.

But I just got back from the police station, who said I could pick up my report (to take to the bank) at around 2:00pm today. They were nice, anyway, and the police officer seemed to know what to do.

What a freaking disaster.

Dude, that sucks!

I don't think anyone can remember

OMG! Wed morning our power went out due to the storms that Gustav spawned. We were out all day, but you know I shouldn't be complaining because some people still don't have power. Along with the power outage, our phone line went out. We finally got the phone line back on this morning! Sheesh! And that was after the third call to the phone company via cell phone.

**Mari** · 09-08-2008, 04:06 AM

Hehe, that would be kinda... interesting. ^_^
Morning OH! You still awake or slowly falling asleep?

OldHippie · 09-08-2008, 05:08 AM

I'm wide awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

**Mari** · 09-08-2008, 06:31 AM

You are awwwww? How cute! Can I pet you? ^_^ Here kitty kitty!

Speaking of kitty, where is my favourite kitty? Sane-chan, where are you?

And where is Sis? I miss curling up by the fire with everyone in one big pile...

I'm contemplating it

I might have to learn Dutch first.

*pounces on Mari*
How is you?

**Mari** · 09-08-2008, 02:41 PM

Oof! Hey! Acally!

*tackles Acally back and drags her over to the fire to sit down and have a nice chat*

I is fine! Like my new school so far ^_^ Though there have been a few frustrations concerning school books etc.
Today I learned all about the biology of the brain... I didn't like it, though it's fascinating that a process that needs 2 hours to be described only minimally takes place and less than a milisecond.

But I can tell you now that it is because of my hippotalus that I felt hungry earlier and because of my angnemia I have feelings. Interesting huh?
How is everything at work? Co-workers still driving you crazy? Or have you driven them crazy instead?

Say, have you been talking about why do you feel strong feelings in heart? I mean, when I feel depressed, my heart feels cold.

And then again, for example seeing that rivendellish tree brought warmth to my heart.

tolkienfan · 09-09-2008, 11:47 AM

Hey I'm back for now, (you didn't notice I was gone did you

) I'm all settled at college and loving life right now. I'm really enjoying my classes (even the studying) and making lots of new friends! I started to miss mooting though, so thought I'd come back, for a little while at least.

Noble Elf Lord · 09-09-2008, 11:59 AM

Tolkienfan! Yay! I did wonder where were you. Honestly. Nice to hear you having fun. And good you decided to return here, albeit for a moment.

Haha.. Mari, you remind me of my boyfriend. He like to sit there and say all technical things like that too. Only it's like... muscles and nerves and things instead of brain glands.

He once told me that I should go look up "Greater Omentum" in Google images. This is what I get:

... I was going to post it here, but I'll just give the URL so you don't have to throw up if you don't want to. It's mostly just a bunch of tangled up fat that sits in front of your intestines. It's why your tummy feels squishy.

Greater Omentum... ish. It's a cat's.

Anyway. I digress. I'm going back to work now.
