That sucks. I hate that. I found my books for cheap on Amazon and Half.com. So, I save moneys


Yeah, I guess they don't want to deal with it and realise how much of an ass they were to you. I mean come on, I wouldn't have said stuff like they did to you if Bush were pres and I didn't like him.

ElysiumFate 01-26-2013 01:23 AM

@Otaku: Yeah, it sucks but it'll be fine. ^.^

@Ser: Normally I do what you did with books, but my college is irritating. They either want the newest books, or books that are changed in one vital way so that you have to buy the version the college sells. It's quite the idiotic monopoly they've got going. Or brilliant one. Depending on how you look at it. The used version of the book I messed up on was much cheaper than the one on Amazon, though, so I was gonna get it. But they didn't have any so I messed up and bought the new one. Got a refund though.

Meh. I imagine they were having a bad day.You should have seen the reply I had up there last night before I edited to make it less condescending. XP

There went Google. You can't turn off safe search on any of the English speaking countries now.

serena yuy 01-26-2013 03:18 AM

I hate it when schools do that. I know when I took Psych 101, the Binder that the Community College used was one for the school and they went from Ed. 8 to 9. I had Mike's binder... WHich was Ed. 8. The professor said don't bother gett9ing the new one, we could use the old one.

It's stupid what they do. I'm glad I had profs I did where they would tell us to go to these other places to get books so we could save money.

You have got to be kidding me. You mean to tell me I have to try to navigate Google in Finnish?! I don't know that much yet!!!! :(

ElysiumFate 01-26-2013 03:24 AM

There weren't options for this book for some reason. I suppose I could've gone somewhere else, but I didn't really feel in the mood to go through an online bookseller I don't trust.

Nope. I was on UK after my last complaining session, and it switched. As has Australia. I like the new algorithm, but WHAT is the point of getting rid of safesearch off?

You could go to Bing. I think that's my choice now.

serena yuy 01-26-2013 03:30 AM

I'm gonna hold onto Google as long as I can.. Finnish is the last one for me since that's the last language I can roughly translate. Everything was UK for me for a bit since I type in UK English.
But, now everything is Suomi for now till they take it away from me.

ElysiumFate 01-26-2013 03:36 AM

Probably won't be long. It seems they're taking out all the major countries one by one. It was us, then Canada, then Mexico and so on. Hopefully they bring back the no safe search option because I really like the new moderate and strict. Completely keeps out the bad stuff for kids and whatnot, but this isn't kosher.

serena yuy 01-26-2013 03:44 AM

I know. I would like them to come up with something where the parents can set it so the kids can't change it on their own accounts. Like a password or something.
But, to make us all have to suffer. It's stupid. I think maybe... when I'm a bit more sober (celebrating over what you had seen on my tumblr earlier), I'll try to get people and myself to complain to the company

Which is what people have been doing with tumblr. They did random beta testing on a new posting interface and my tumblr feed has been blowing up over it... And I seem to be the only one who has been randomly testing this, who has not had a conniption fit over it.

ElysiumFate 01-26-2013 03:48 AM

Oh, I have the new posting interface as well. I admit...I actually like it a lot. There are some issues, but I'm sure they'll be fixed, but otherwise I love that I don't lose my spot when I reblog something.

Oh, and yes, congrats on the new nephew, I believe is what you were hinting at there. ^.^

I'm sure there's a petition for it somewhere. Porn addicts are suffering.

LonelyOtaku97 01-26-2013 03:52 AM

I don't have a tumblr actually and never saw the point in having one.

serena yuy 01-26-2013 03:57 AM

@Ely: That is exactly why I like the new interface. I hated how I would have to open reblog in a new tab just so I wouldn't really lose my place.
What I was referring to was something like that. Mike's sister-in-law was pregnant last year and sadly lost the baby at 6 mo in oct (the were expecting a boy) and Mike called me today so his brother could tell me (they came over so they could tell the fam and Mike wanted me to know aroudn teh time they all did) Which is an awesome early b-day gift for his brother who turns 30 Monday and their mom who is celebrating her b-day today. So, we're excited. When Nick told me I almost broke down crying on the phone I am so excited.
Thanks ^^ We're excited and we're hopeful for this one. :)

I find my porn on my other tumblr :P

ElysiumFate 01-26-2013 04:10 AM

@Otaku: It's definitely just a for fun thing. I am not obsessed with it. I go on every couple of days and look for fun stuff.

@Ser: Yes! So why are people bitching about it? That was so f'in irritating to open a new tab so I didn't lose my spot just to do the thing that tumblr is there for...blog....

Yeah, I remember how upset you were about that, and rightly so. I'm glad they were able to turn around and get pregnant again so quickly. It'll help to heal their wounds.

Lolz. Tumblr is good for that, too. XD I couldn't believe they allowed X rated stuff like that on Tumblr in the first place when I first joined.

serena yuy 01-26-2013 04:26 AM

People keep bitching "Oh I went to tumblr to get away from twitter and Facebook, oh how I hate those" blah blah blah. I don't get it, I like how tumblr was working with the beta, I hope they keep it

Yeah, I was talking with the only manager at work I told what happened in October, that they were talking about it and we were hoping they would. What's interesting, is I was thinking about it all today, have been lately since this was the month when she was due with our nephew. And I was a bit depressed still from it. So when I found out, I was so elated and excited. From what they had mentioned over the holidays, the drs will keep a very close eye on her. So, we're hoping for the best. It would be so exciting to see mike when our niece or nephew comes in the Fall :)

Yeah, I was surprised when I searched stuff. So, I created a different blog for it all ^^"

ElysiumFate 01-26-2013 04:36 AM

I'm admittedly kinda tired tonight, so I think I probably won't post anymore tonight after this reply. Kinda just need to let my brain wind down, but I might pop in right before I go to sleep, I dunno...just worn out today.

But anyway, psssh. Tumblr is enough like facebook. It's raging with just as many idiots, but they're more avoidable and tolerable. The proof is in the pudding with how badly they seem to be reacting to what is actually a good change.

Awh, isn't that how things always work? You think about it all day and then something happens. I'm glad it's a good thing and I really hope the doctors can keep her stable. Maybe they'll have to put her on bedrest in the last trimester, but whatever gets that baby here in good health.

serena yuy 01-26-2013 04:40 AM

It's ok ^^" I wanted to get soe work done toinight, but gave up for a couple reasons, I was tired from work today, and the excitement. I most likely will go to bed at a more "normal" time hopefully

Yeah, I wanted to tell people on my page and remidn them how Facebook changed without any warning a bunch of times the last couple of years. -.-

Yeah, I hope so too. I really hope she's able to keep the baby full term. It would be awesome for all of us including them to be able to have this baby come into all of our lives. I'm sure they'll do what they need to do for her to make sure she does.

ElysiumFate 01-27-2013 04:25 AM

My dad decided out of the blue to celebrate his birthday today, so we went out to the capital and spent the day there and ate at a nice restaurant.

I ended up buying a really beautiful summery dress in this huge mall we went to, but I'm hoping to wear it this winter with some pants underneath it. ^.^

JediMercJeff 01-27-2013 04:47 AM

*wanders back in* Hey, all... Miss me?

ElysiumFate 01-27-2013 04:53 AM

Lol, of course. Glad school didn't do you in.

JediMercJeff 01-27-2013 04:57 AM

Nope... Not yet. It's trying really, really hard though.

ElysiumFate 01-27-2013 05:15 AM

Do you think you'll get used to it?

I'm glad I only have the three classes this semester. This will be manageable.

JediMercJeff 01-27-2013 06:07 AM

I'd better get used to it... I don't have much wiggle room to change or drop classes to keep my VA money coming in.

ElysiumFate 01-27-2013 06:15 AM

Ahh, well then I hope it'll get easier on you then. What's causing you so much trouble?

serena yuy 01-27-2013 07:11 AM

Hopefullly it gets easier.
I know I've kind of slacked off already. Tomorrow will definitely be catch up day. ^^"

ElysiumFate 01-27-2013 08:03 AM

I actually haven't slacked yet...surprised...I did "accidentally" miss a class on Friday. I got there literally, a fudging single minute late and because it was the first week of class, there was nowhere to sit, so I just didn't go in. Will make sure I'm early on Monday and the rest of the lectures for the next few weeks until enough people drop or start skipping to be able to get a seat without trouble.

serena yuy 01-27-2013 04:01 PM

I have because of the weekend I had last weekend ^^"

But, I'm doing better, I have today and tomorrow to make up a lot of what I need to do for my classes that is due this week ^^"

LonelyOtaku97 01-27-2013 06:56 PM

I know that feeling ser I got behind on my history homework and forgot to meet my teacher to discuss my essay topic. Luckily I just have to do some readings and then I'll be done.
