AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 8/19/2004 09:13:00 PM ----- BODY: so i was having some trouble paying for my launchcast plus subscription (internet radio with no commercials) because of the damn firewall . so i tried to get to that site when i got home. i got to the site. i clicked on the yahoo wallet. and found that the card on file needs to be changed, since i cancelled that particular card. fine. i click on the icon and it says, "please enter blah blah blah". so i entered the password. apparently not. it won't take it. fine. it says please contact yahoo for the security key. so now i have to wait until the next day, because they're closed. fine. i call on friday morning and it's all very easy. verify i am who i say i am, which i did, then they'll email me the new password. fine. so i get home and check my email. no password. crap. so i call again. this guy? less than helpful. did you check this? did you check that? what a pain in the ass. i ask him, you've verified i'm who i say i am. the girl yesterday did the same thing. can't you just give me the password, since it's not coming through? of course not. that would be too easy. i decide to check what the moron told me to check, and lo and behold, my aol email HAS marked this email as spam and deleted it. well, this is just craptastic. as i was browsing through what ELSE aol has marked as spam, i ran across an email from classmates.com. have any of you signed up for this? if not, let me 'splain what it is. basically, it takes all of your info and puts it on a site where other people you graduated with or went to school with can look you up and vice versa. so i click on the link because it says "you have 10 new contacts". cool. i went to 2 high schools. (no, i didn't flunk out of one.) i went to a jr/sr high school for jr high, moved to cali and went to high school there. anyways, i went to the school site for the jr/sr high school. and who did i find there? only the guy that EVERYONE had a crush on in 6th grade, who moved away, moved back for 9th grade, then moved again. kymmie and i periodically get nostalgic and talk about this guy. we both had major crushes on him. i'm talking huge people. since i'm a "gold member" at classmates, i'm allowed to email anyone who's signed up and provided an email. he has. so i email him. i said something incredibly witty like "i don't even know if you remember me, but i saw you had "joined" and wanted to tell you that i had a HUGE crush on you when we were in elementary school". smooth, huh? apparently he DID remember me, for he wrote back almost immediately, gave me his regular email, etc. so i sent him another email and he wrote back today. and put in his cell number. so i called him. and talked to him for a little over an hour while i drove home. and i found out all of these things that i never knew. (which is not really too surprising, seeing as how we only went to school together for 1 year.) it was very cool and fun to get back in touch. and how was your thursday evening? --------
