never the first in line for this

I just had a battle with AOL instant messenger, because it was being especially annoying. I had an old screen name that I had registered, but never used. So, I decided to use it yesterday and take it on as my new screen name. So, I go to the trouble of telling everyone I have a new screen name. Today, I can't sign on with that screen name and I get an error message telling me that my account has been deleted. ARGH! I am so glad that I don't have AOL as my ISP, because I simply cannot stand it! It is the suckiest company ever, and they have terrible customer support and technical help. I didn't know if I could reactivate the account, so I wrote an e-mail describing my problem to whoever answers those things. After I'm done typing, I press send, and then I get a confermation that my message was sent. After that, they explain that they can't answer each e-mail personally, but they will take into consideration all problems and issues stated. I so hate AOL and anything having to do with it. I only use AIM because all of my friends have it, and that's often the only way I can get in touch with them. Other than that...burn in effagy, AOL.

I had to babysit today, and I took Gus out to the park. He swung in the swing for awhile, and then I carried him up the ladder in the park so that we could go down the slide together. I think he had fun, from what I can discern from his cryptic baby talk. It's funny how the few times that I've taken him out, everyone stares at me. I think they think that he's my baby. I didn't think of this at all, except when I noticed people giving me (sometimes dirty) looks. Damn people. Don't they have anything better to worry about, instead of assuming things?

I have been going on a spree of downloading songs lately. I don't know why. I am craving good music. I am so entirely sick of the crapiness of everything that is played on the radio. It seems as if every station I listen to plays the same set of songs day after day after day. If there was just one universal radio station with a bunch of songs, then maybe it work. Still, I am in search of good music. I listen to almost anything, but everyone gets sick of hearing the same thing over again. I shall expose myself to as much music as I can.

*hehe* I just notice that I've complained for the entire entry thus far. Well, I need to let it all out somehow. Tomorrow will be good, because I am going to go out and do some shopping. I don't really need anything, except maybe a sweater for my senior pictures, which I am getting taken next Friday. I really hope they come out well. I don't want to be remembered as being ugly. Not that I ever was, really, but still. I always end up looking really freakish in any kind of pics that are taken of me. There are very few pictures of myself that I like.

Ciao.
