I passed the certificate exam! YAY! :D With 97%! I was aiming for 100% but whatever :P I am now a certified Websphere Portal 6.1 admin. Except I don't know anything because I kinda memorized the questions, LOL. Whatever. Computer engineering is all about learning as you go, so unless you work on an actual system, your knowledge is pointless. I know assembly language, but do I ever use it? Nope. (Although that was my favourite course at uni.)

Wanna go home and watch Lost Girl! Wanna see more Dyson! Also there is Glee! Awesome night will be awesome!

...

Everytime I talk about TV with this much enthusiasm I feel weird. Is it normal to be THIS EXCITED about TV? Also yesterday Amazon delivered the books I ordered last week and I was beaming with joy and excitement. I guess what you enjoy and cherish in life changes from person to person, but I don't know many people who are as excited as I am about TV/books/movies. For my real life friends, internet consists of Facebook and Gmail and occasional google searches. But internet is my life now and it's usually very hard to explain this to people. I do almost everything online and this sounds really scary to some people.

I look at my mom and then imagine what sort of a mother I will be. My mom is a pretty successful woman, accomplished, cultured. So is my dad. But they still couldn't fully figure out the internet. Our generation will be very different. Our kids will have mothers and fathers who Google pretty much everything, download music, movies, tv shows, have blogs, know Photoshop, etc. etc. We'll even Google our kids names to find something interesting!

...

Yup, my random ramblings are over now. I feel lighter now that I got rid of that pesky exam and can focus on other things; like getting my work computer formatted so it runs faster and doesn't fail on me when I do ~important things!

Thanks! I am so glad it's over, i hate exams!

Tv is a legitimate reason to get excited, we shall never regret. See, i have another hour to go in the office then i'll go home and literally get in bed with tv. I don't know what i would do if i couldn't download stuff.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! <3<3

And I totally agree with you about other internet things. I do so happy when I buy a new book or my fandom time comes.

At first, I had to handle my family. Now, they don't even ask about what I am doing on the net. Second, thank god(again), I have good roommates and they got used to my these things and don't ask anything or say bad things about it. They never did. Honestly, please shut their mouth LOL. Cause, they know/learn everything about fandom and such from me or I find any info for them quickly. I am like a net messenger for them ;))

CONGRATS!

I always have big rants to Dom about TV shows, I chewed his ear off after this season of True Blood & he finds it really amusing that I get so 'involved' in it. BUT WHATEVER ITS SRS BSNS! It's our hobby & it's healthy to show passion :)

Srs bsnss indeed!! I finally got my family to understand my endless passion about tv. Now they're asking me how my shows are going, if there's anything juicy happening :))

I get excited about TV and books and online stuff too, so if that's weird, we can be weird together. I spend way too much time thinking about my fandoms, but I'm wary about getting too invested now after I was betrayed by evil TV studios and got my biggest source of happiness taken away too many times.

We will be COOL parents who are always fighting for the computer with our kids, lol.

Ugh i know, evil studios and their heartless decisions to cancel every good show.

We are the coolest generation, everything we do is cool!

Thinking about our kids this way is kinda scary. Cause, really.. it'll be so so different. Yeah it was different between our parents and grandparents.. But I don't think it was THIS MUCH. Values and such could change in those times but not this much technology.

Actually I don't think it'll be that weird for those Facebook/MSN people, but for us... Wow. It'll be so weird. :D

- LOST GIRL. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Congrats on your exam! (I remember liking assembly language, too, even though I knew I'd never use it!)

It's normal on LJ to be this excited about tv! But, yeah, people in "real life" don't tend to understand it.
