ringy, weird as it may seem, no i dont hav a tv in my room! I just got the computer. I just sleep and internet in my room. Used to have a tv in my room, but then it took up too much space! I guess if i can afford a plasma flat screen tv one day, ill have that set up so it wont take up as much space.
I sacrificed the TV in my room for more space to move around and decorate...I bought a chair and lamp to take its place in the corner!
I do miss the days when i used to have a tv and cable in my room! I used to spend even more nites up late then i needed to!

Well, I guess that's a good thing then...skip the plasma and just get an LCD... Wow, aren't we continental...a chair and lamp... on second thought skip the tv in your room...you really don't need less sleep...hehe...

Checked out a couple to see if I could get BBC, etc. but after reading I didn't bother with it...

heheheh dude, im insulted, you saif i speak UK type English! I though i spoke American english - GGRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Thats sooo strange, you didnt go a mostly caucasian school!!! Mostly hispanics? This is sooo weird, coz in junior high, i was like only one of a handful of locals! Having grew up in New Zealand, my parents knew that i couldnt integrate with the local kids and the whole language barrier, so he put me in a school with all the caucasian kids! But they were all british and australian! Then having went to a British college, my background should be more British than american, but dude - im still more american!! heheh dang Americanisation of the world!

Well, it's probably just one of those classic mispellings... then there is "call divert" instead of "call forwarding" (my cell phone) ... hehe...that would be interesting...you would probably do a pretty good job too...

dude, i dont even know if my phone has that call forwarding function - told u me and phones, dont mix! Well, if you don't answer it, does it go to voicemail? If it does, then you have call divert...and it's set for "on no answer" [/quote]and we call em Mobile phones here...we follow the british terminology! but me and my bro call em cell phones to piss off everyone! we r the only two in the asian continent calling em that heheh we r so PRO american![/quote] sounds better than "cellie" or some of the other words used lately...well, so we are strange...it is cellular technology, so, we call them cell phones for short...I however have fallen into the "mobile device" term...

I did the regular stuff, went to school with all the white kids, hang out in malls, go to the cinemas, read Entertainment Weekly, gets DVDs, get pizza delivered to the house - dont know how else to convince people that im just like any other dude on the board (except that i have black hair and olive skin...but PALE!) For some reason I am feeling really guilty...I just sent in my renewal for entertainment weekly and with the "charter", "professional" rate it costs 50 cents an issue...
