FREE PC SCAN FOR YO-- /shot

YES! i got adobe flash player and now i can go watch youtube and play games!! well actually normally i dont play games at all on my computer but just to celebrate i played games almost all day yesterday (not counting school).

and this week is special because it's SPRING BREAK!! :D

but u know what sucks? that's right; spring break ended up in the same week as Passover Week. which means i, being a pastor's kid, might not be able to go hang out with my friends and will instead stay at home doing nothing for passover. i honestly dont understand why people think Passover should be a really important week for children. it's mainly for circumcised adults.

so now im just totally bummed out and not excited about spring break anymore :( there was no problem like this in southern VA since over there, we didn't have spring break on the same week as Passover.

my friend had the same crisis. she emailed me and asked what she should do. go to her bffls house and hang out or stay at home being the good Christian her parents want her to be? my logic: theres no point in forcing kids to celebrate passover if they dont feel like celebrating. its like forcing people to be Christian. i think people should celebrate holidays if they truly think it's special. if they dont think it's special to them, why celebrate it u know?

and thats exactly what i told my friend. i havent gotten a reply yet which i think means she hasn't read it yet, and for Internet security purposes, i will not copy and paste my reply to my friend.

that's right; i care about Internet security now.

u know those fake antivirus scans that hijack innocent websites? yeah those things that appear for no reason in the pop up box and say Warning! your computer is hacked and we will do a free scan and blah blah blah. im telling u, it's SUCH a pain (and i admit it, a mild shock) to see those spoofs of My Computer templates. apparently it's becoming such a common problem for innocent people who just wanna read manga every once in a while. >:P

i am seriously annoyed with these "free pc virus scans." blech.
