The station

I like the Internet. It's a vast web of wikis, chats, forums, blogs, games... and games. I like playing games. I especially like those multiplayer games where you chat and play games and stuff. I liked them all. Until I came across Howrse.

Howrse is a great game where you get to own and breed virtual horses and ponies, get your own virtual equestrian center, send virtual messages, and enter virtual competitions to win virtual prizes.

It is mostly a simulation of real life, apart from magical stuff like unicorns, pegasuses, immortal horses... the list is endless.

But then so is the fun!

Howrse must be the grand prize winner of "Best online game ever... so far".

And if you think a horse game has to be a girls' game, you're wrong. Howrse is the only online game I have played that my brother likes

Most games have faults and missing bits and pieces, but right now, I can't think of a single one.

Howrse (sponsored)

P.S. Howrse has a sponsorship system, which is like a database of who invited who, and who told other people about the game. As I kind of have invited you to this game, please click on the sponsored link to get registered. I get prizes for sponsoring you, and who knows, maybe you get prizes for being sponsored? Or maybe sponsors of sponsors of sponsors get special prizes? I'm not sure.

I haven't blogged for a month. I'm just an average person... with an average mountain of homework.

At school, there is something known as "Graffiti Corner". It's in the Grade 8 room, and it's a broken-off piece of a desk. On the bottom of it, there is lots of graffiti.

DIE

Me?

School is like a lollipop. It sucks to the end.

I agree with the last one. Very good quote actually.

Title says all. No explanation needed. It's basically just a to-do list of useful stuff that you can do when you're stuck in your house because of cold, icky snow, with nothing but your trusty laptop. Well, let's get going...

1. Empty your inbox. Many people have thousands of emails in their inbox, where many are already read and left in the inbox because "they may be important later" but "later" never seems to come. You need an Archive folder (In Gmail, this is the button "All Mail". In other email programs, you have to make your own folder, but it is so worth it.) Inbox clean in no time.

2. Sort out your computer calendar. Even if you don't have one, consider desktop application Rainlendar. It rocks.

3. Sort out your browser's bookmarks. Same as with the email, you ought to have lots of "read me later" stuff in your bookmarks that you just forgot about. Clean them. Now.

4. Decorate your laptop. Mine looks exactly like a 4-computers-in-one Vista, but it's a one computer XP. Amazing, the stuff you can do with an old XP, eh?

Bookcrossing is a cool site I found. It lets you get rid of old books by signing up on the site, registering a book to get a "book ID number", write a little message in the book, and leaving it somewhere for other people to find.

It's like a message in a bottle, or a chainletter, or whatever, but with books. You get the ID, then you write a message like this inside the book:

Hi! I have registered this book at bookcrossing.com so I can track its journey through this world. Please go to www.bookcrossing.com/123-4567890  to let me know you found it, then read it and/or leave it somewhere for someone else to find! Thank you.

Of course, bookcrossing.com/123-4567890 is not a real web address. The 123-thing is supposed to be the ID number of the book, in my blog I just used 123 for an example.

Join Bookcrossing! It so rocks and I am going to release lots of books into the wild!

I hope I find some as well as releasing them

If you have been reading my blog, you might have asked a few tiny questions. So, here are the answers to most of them (with the oldest ones at the end, so you can see how far down you have to go until you don't know what I'm talking about):

The deletion of your guestbook posts. Yes, I have deleted many of your guestbook posts, but the guestbook is only for things like "I was here" and "this site is good". Feedback, questions etc. are sent to me by a personal message, and questions about one of my blog posts go in that post's comments. By the way, any posts like "do you want to date me" and "where is your school" will be permanently deleted and never brought up again.

The conferences. Yes, I know, I should have written how they went. It was neither good nor bad. That's why I didn't bother to write about them.

The school. Well, you might not understand much of my school-related posts, but the fact is, I don't either. I don't understand the weirdness of that school, and chances are you don't either. Makes me think why I bother to write about them. Well, I need somewhere to get these thoughts out of my head...

Leap day. I said that Leap Day adds 1400 minutes to our average year. Actually, I quoted someone else. I would not bother to work out the extra minutes of homework time you get in leap years.

Widgets. I don't use Yahoo!Widgets any more, but I still have Rainlendar. I should include the updated desktop snapshot in a blog post... later...

My candy addiction. Yes, I am still candy crazy. It's just that I'm not very blogging-about-being-candy-crazy crazy.

My wallpaper collection. Yes, I did post wallpapers on this site, but now I have stuck to one wallpaper and deleted all the others. So, no more wallpapers. Not for now.

The school disco. No, I never went to it. Should have written that.

My mobile phone. Yes, I found it. It was on my bedside table, as said in that blog post. Lucky me.

So, that was it (I guess) so you should not have any more questions.

If you do, why not post them in the comments?
