So, we're having a dance in a few weeks, and the people organizing it asked everybody else to send them mp3s of songs they wanted played. This of course largely tends to be in violation of the copyright, and thus also our AUP on the network. They sent this message out on the school mailing list, which also includes some of the teachers, so my Tech Writing teacher sent back a warning about this, ending with this ^^:

"If NetOps hasn't put the fear of the AUP into you, then consider this:
the presence of pirated music at the dance will be reciprocated by the
performance of large quantities of Garth Brooks and Shania Twain music,
with accompanying country line dancing. Be afraid."

Other than that, my math teacher's son (who is in college), is really cute. Sadly, he is also pretty definately gay (by "pretty definately" I mean he came to the Pride celebration with us, and was wearing a 'Sorry girls, I'm gay' pin, along with many others, but he didn't say anything outright, and I didn't ask). And Akatonbo came over afterwards and we made a cheesecake (whoever has my good Amaretto Chocolate Cheesecake recipe - Mara, Claudia, I'm looking at you two - I'd rather like it back ^^), and then we sat around and talked about life and fannish things. Until six am ^^

I've also started taking a Japanese class offered by one of the aikido dojos here in the city, which should be fun - the teacher, Hoshide-sensei, seems like she's really looking forward to doing this class, and actually knows how to teach, and everybody else is there out of choice, unlike school, where we don't really have a choice. Hopefully my brain can handle learning two languages at once - Michelle and I decided that if I start calling Mr. Menard "sensei" by accident, it will be proof I can't ^^

...I so need a new layout here. And to finish the AE report, but that at least has been started. Blah, my brain won't operate on layout-mode right now. Too dead x.x
