Some online fun: two new and one oldWednesday, October 22, 2008 - 10:32pm — Sarah Ludwig
Brightsorm offers online resources to help you with your classes, including AP courses. Urban Dictionary, an old favorite, is worth mentioning because it's where you can contribute your own slang. For example: DEFACE: To remove a 'friendship' from facebook due to having either accidentily adding him/her as a friend or actually adding them and reconsidering later. "Yeah, there was this guy in my network who added me. I thought he looked ok, but his updates were really cramping my news feed, so I had to deface him." "I went on a date with a girl I met a week before and like the day after our date she changed her status to 'in a relationship.' I defaced her."

"NOTHING HAS BEEN CAST. NOTHING. DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ ON THE INTRAMANETS." She wrote this on October 10, so I think that even though IMDB has people listed in the three main female roles, we should ignore that. However, that doesn't mean we can't speculate!!! Who would make the best Gemma? The best Anne? Felicity? Kartik? Get the books and audiobooks here -- they're some of my favorites.

Twitter is fun because it's like blogging in text messages. It's a super fast and easy way of letting your friends know where you are, what you're doing, or what you're thinking about. It's actually a lot like the "status update" feature on Facebook. I like it because I can connect with my friends who live in other parts of the world.
