<p>If only NYU hadn’t wanted me to take out 14k in loans per semester. Ouch. =/ And I was soooo wanting to go there. DX</p>
<p>haha, I got around half merit, and I’m paying the rest :P</p>
<p>Lucky. =/ I only got like $5,000 per semester and then some loans. -_-</p>
<p>=/ It’s really unfortunate 
At least BU’s a good school</p>
<p>I know! I was incredibly disappointed.</p>
<p>Apart from the crappy financial aid (whereby NYU really lived up to its rating for the worst school for aid in Princeton Review), I opted out of NYU for another reason: my ex-boyfriend goes there, and while I know it’s the stupidest reason in the book 'cause there are like millions of other kids, I just don’t ever want to have to see him/deal with him again, and it’d be inevitable if I went there. So I just did the smart thing and said NO to NYU.</p>
<p>Damn, Red, it’d’ve been fun if we could meet. Tsk tsk.</p>
<p>Lo siento.</p>
<p>But I’d have to put a name to the face, no? It’s not like I’m gonna go to orientation screaming out, “ANDROMEDA WHERE ARE THOU?!?”</p>
<p>Ooh, I’d love it if someone did that. Even though it sounds loony, it’d be all fairy-tale-ish/romantic in a classic way. But loony more so.</p>
<p>You: Andromeda, oh Andromeda, where ARE you? It is you I have sought so long. Out from the shadows, dark goddess, out, out!</p>
<p>And I’d be all: ALAS, Red! </p>
<p><em>insert other flowery B.S. here</em></p>
<p>I think I should’ve been born in another era.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t yell, I’d hold up a sign. ^_~ A really big one, mind you. xD</p>
<p>Nixe: why does a little orange gingerbread man appear below your name and number of posts and stuff on the left? I want one too. He’s absolutely adorable.</p>
<p>Ha! That’s not a gingerbread man silly! That means I listed my AIM screename in my profile. If you’re on AIM and click on the man, then you can send me an IM. By the way, that’s the AOL logo. >_<</p>
<p>Uff. Life and its complications. You just don’t get gingerbread men you want.</p>
<p>No, I don’t have an AIM thing. So I guess once again the world’s devised its cruel little plot against me attaining a cute little runaway gingy.</p>
<p>Argh.</p>
<p>Well, you can just list a fake screename and it’d give you one. Downside, though, if you put the actual screename of someone, then they’ll be wondering why they keep getting IMs from random people. xD You don’t have AIM? Not even MSN? YIM? Google Talk? So you don’t instant message? You should at least get AIM since it’s free and all. And if you don’t want to install the software, then just get a username and log into meebo.com so you can IM people. Meebo is a website that lets you got onto your instant messaging usernames without having the software downloaded onto your computer.</p>
<p>Oh lord, Nixe, way to think I’m technologically impaired, eh?</p>
<p>I have MSN, and YIM, and Googletalk, too. AND I know what Meebo is! I used to think it was like the cutest name ever and I named my blanket after it. I just don’t have AIM, and that sucks, because that’s the only one that has the gingerbread man. Argh. Msn just has this weirdo green dude and YIM has like this giant Y! and Googletalk has this cute white chat bubble, but I want the gingerbread man and that’s that.</p>
<p>Stop thinking I’m thick! NOOOOO!</p>
<p>Well, usually out of all those, people know AIM. =/ I had MSN! I’ll give it to you. I listed my old one I don’t use just so I could have the little man. xD Oh but I can’t get on instant messaging during school and I’m sure you’re asleep or at school or something when I get home. =/</p>
<p>Nixe: I’m pretty much done with school. I just go to WORK all the time and ARGH, am I exhausted or am I exhausted.</p>
<p>I don’t use MSN at all, really, it gets on my nerves. People always pinging about. It’s like, shut up. </p>
<p>I think when we’re old, we should write each other long letters and have owls deliver them, like Pigwidgeon. I loved him.</p>
<p>In the US, people use AIM, but people rarely use it anywhere else other than the US.</p>
<p>You know you can turn off the pings? xD I did. I turned off the nudges and all the sounds. The newer version is pretty good because instead of sending something file per file, you can now have what’s called a shared folder and you drop as many things in there as you want and the other person will get them. AIM too. Now you can send folders instead of file per file. But I like how on MSN you can upload your own display picture and create your own emotions.</p>
<p>I prefer MSN to AIM. There’s more features. Yahoo! annoys me a lot. I would go on AIM now and chat with you, but I still have AP tests to study for (I’m taking the late tests). Blah.</p>
<p>JEDI! I wrote you a lovely little poem and posted it on your wall and you HAVEN’T EVEN RESPONDED! Argh!</p>
<p>Whatever, I forgive you, darling, it IS your birthday, after all. GO SEE MY POEM! NOW!</p>
<p>I can’t tolerate MSN/yahoo/any of that stuff. I’d rather post stuff here. I mean, conversations there are so, “what’s up” and “not much, you tell me.” I hate that.</p>
