My real mom was much less strict with such things but she also was a druggy and was bad with finances. So I understand the rules my step mom lays down because she has a much better head on her with dealing with finances.

That's understandable. I know the biggest things that use tons of electricity are lighting, ac/heating unit, and water heater. Didn't ever think about the computer/tv though. Probably because my dad can't live without his TV shows/movies and my brother can't live without his games lol.

Yeah even though we try to conserve on energy my step mom has a tendancy to turn on EVERY light in the house!!! Even when it's sunny and we don't need it! Then she yells at me that I must be the one using all the energy! She even threatened me that I would have to do all the laundry by hand if our usage didn't drop! >.< WHY ME?!!!

Wow, you know what my brother did when people kept leaving his light on when he was at work? Taped them in the off position. You could always try that

Yeah I can't do that with my step mom. She would kick me out so fast!

I'd imagine so. She sounds like she rules with an iron fist. Oh well, we can all dream can't we!

Did you know that the average cost of leaving 1 computer monitor and computer on is about $30 a month? That's if you left it on 24 hours a day for an entire month though. That is a decent bit of money, but doesn't compare to other hungry electric devices.

That is exactly why we limit how long our computers and tvs are on. I yell at my dad for leaving the tv on all night. AC is a big gobbler but when you have a little kid you need it on or she can get over heated to quickly. I'm glad summer is almost over so we won't need it soon.

I had a dream last night that some of my old classmates were sleeping over at my house, and we had a computer lab set up in the living room so we could MMORPGs all together.

Very interesting. Do you think that would ever actually happen?

Nah.

1. I don't think I'll ever have enough people over to need to convert the living room into a computer lab.

2. Not sure if I'll ever hang out with ALL those people at once again lol.

Ok, so maybe that is quite a few people. I'm more of a 8 or less total in the house kind of girl. Well, I guess it won't matter the next time me and my boyfriend have a party, which will happen someday now that he has his own place! xD

Not sure. Hopefully a Halloween party! I'd love to make lots of food that's ghoulish/scary looking :)

I had a dream this morning that startled me awake.

I dreamed that my sis woke up and the clock said 8:30 (note that's when the bus is supposed to come.) And after that the bus passed the house. So I went to stop the bus so my dad could get her ready.

I woke up and it was only 7:15! I was so relieved that it was a dream.

I wish I had dreams like that Mina, Instead I look at the clock, think: "I still have some time for more sleep" then look at the clock again and think, "crap! I could be late if I don't jump out of bed right now!" lol

I had a dream that I was taking another college English class and we were assigned to RP with another classmate.

I napped today, and dreamt Beyonce was a nurse, and she was singing about how her job sucked more than other people's jobs (I don't know if it was a musical or music video, but people were comparing their jobs) cause she gets pooped and peed on during her shift.

I was not. I can't even think of the last Beyonce song I've listened to!
