I can remember dial-up, and I'm not that old, so it's not even that long ago.
 
We used to have a program on the computer that would pop up whenever there was an incoming call so we could pause the dial up connection to take the call. I absolutely do not miss saying "brb, someone's calling" or "brb, mom needs to make a phone call". Those were dark times.
 
My mother often had to kick my older brother off of the phone whenever she wanted to go online, and he didn't react well to that. Oh the joy of when my parents were the only ones with cell phones, and dial up. xD
 
If I was on cartoonnetwork.com playing the Ed Edd and Eddy games and my father needed to make a business call, it wasn't too big of a deal. I just turned off the computer and either watched TV or turned on the SNES.
 
Oh my god, I used to play Nickelodeon games online all day. There was a Rugrats Go Wild game where you captured animals and nursed them back to health. There were rare animals, and I think I got so excited when I found one that it seemed like it was Christmas morning. I think they took it down after a year or two, but it was my favorite aaaa.

That was way long ago though. Pretty sure it was before I joined PC, so before I was 12 -w-
 
Dial up is before my time... I got my first personal computer about a year ago, haha. As a littler kid, I'd always go on my dad's computer to play neopets or games on nick.com or whatever was the trend then. I knew my way around a computer at quite a young age.
 
Sometimes I really hate my university.

I skipped genetics class today because there was absolutely no parking anywhere. The first place where the class was being held has a lot of buildings around it and very little parking space, so the result is that parking is filled completely an hour before class even begins.

The new place (also, my professor never even sent an email telling us we switched) is even more inconvenient, as it's located near the dorms, meaning the parking lot next to it is always filled with freshman and sophomores who leave their cars there, so it's almost always full at any given time.

Adding to this that the university cut out a huge parking lot in favor of replacing it with a building that to this day I'm not sure what purpose it's for.

Fuck it, I'm playing hookey for this class and sleeping in. I'll just catch up with the readings and powerpoints.
 
so this Massive Blizzard cancelled school for me today, and it just also cancelled school for me tomorrow. I basically live for this shit, I love snow and I hate school so this has been a perfect combination for me.
 
My college campus was closed for the day too, but one of my classes was online...and we had a power outage minutes after it started. But I was somehow able to connect to the internet from my computer even though it wasn't charging, and it wasn't until not a minute after class technically ended that the power came back on. Gosh darn it.
 
I don't physically go to skewl anymore. A lot of people tell me, people who were popular in high school are nobodies in college, and vice versa. I'm excited to do school in an adult fashion. Hopefully it won't be like kindergarten where I walk into class and get the surprise of every other kid not knowing the alphabet or how to write their name.

My high school is the greatest, too! The county mandates all the school buses to have blinding white lights buzz on the bus roofs. The school serves lunches that smell like pet food. The staff are a lot of stuck-up, inept and undereducated pricks and dicks. Oh, and as an added bonus everyone in the county gets rotated to a school that's far away so you can't desert without a car. I'm sure that makes a whole lot of sense in diesel. If you want a great example of a sheeple processing facility, look no further! It's meat grinding central, fuck critical thinking!
 
I shoveled so hard my right arm has become significantly beefier than my left #jerkoffstatus
 
the weather here is usually too bipolar for us to get snow. the days it rains like crazy it'll be in the 40's on the days it's below freezing there won't be a rain cloud in sight. last year we got a week out for snow and they added half an hour to school for the rest of the school year to compensate. we were the only fricken county to opt for it even though it wasn't required.
 
2 feet of snow over at my end. Got the day off from work which was nice, but because of the state of emergency that was issued everything was closed unfortunately.
 
It's just wet and cold here. Which is too bad for my sleeveless Harley Davidson tees and jeans with no shoes/socks.

I remember when I was searching for a stolen item back in school in November the admin viewing the cameras kept calling me "the one with the guns." I laughed a bit a that… :b
 
Oh, it's just always raining here in sunny North-West England. Or cold. Or overcast. Usually two out of the three. It's rare that we get a sunny day, especially in winter.

And even if it is sunny, it's absolutely freezing.
 
It's like, 50 here. We got about 2 inches of snow the other day but it melted pretty quickly. Weather in Indy is just nuts, one day you're wearing 3 or 4 layers of clothing and the next you're in shorts and a sweatshirt.

NY is cold cold cold. 10-30 degrees with 10-20 mph wind. A lot of snow but it's starting to clear up thanks to cleaning.
 
It's been unseasonably warm here. Though I can't comment too much, since I just moved from Florida to Missouri a few months ago.

It's supposed to snow on Sunday, though :0
