It&#8217;s so cool. After Myk gave it to me I was so excited that I just had to do some google searches with some of the things I had learned. I didn&#8217;t know about &#8220;link:&#8221; searches, so I tried it on some of the pages on my website. I found a couple sites linking to my how-tos! That&#8217;s so cool&#8230; I&#8217;ve never had any contact with these people and lo! My mplayer how to and enlightenment guide are linked places. So cool. There is tons more in this google book that I will have to explore, it&#8217;s very interesting. I&#8217;ll be sure to talk all about the cool new things I find.<\/p>\n<p><lj-cut><br \/>\nLooking for houses is depressing. When you&#8217;re younger you always think &#8220;When I get a house it&#8217;ll have&#8230; I&#8217;ll have&#8230; and then it&#8217;ll have&#8230;&#8221; But then you grow up and realize that you&#8217;re not a millionaire and quite probably never will be. So you&#8217;re house won&#8217;t be huge, it won&#8217;t have all of the things you want in it, you won&#8217;t have 20 acres. Coming to that realization is difficult. I guess everyone goes through it, settling for a bit less than they expected. I see it with many people, when I was younger I saw people&#8217;s parents disappointed with their purchases, and I thought to myself &#8220;why did they make such a huge purchase without getting exactly what they wanted?&#8221; Well I guess because it&#8217;s near impossible when you&#8217;re an average middle-class family.<\/p>\n<p>I asked my father why they never decided to buy a house. He blamed my mother. Of course HE had planned on getting a house, HIS plans are always perfect (although never executed), it&#8217;s just that damn woman! Oh well.<\/p>\n<p>I compiled <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/13th\/ircstats\/september2003.html\">the #13thHour ircstats for September<\/a> this afternoon. An amazing 74795 lines last month, that blows our previous record of 60613 away. The channel is doing good.<\/p>\n<p>Now that it&#8217;s October we all put our halloween nicknames on in #13thHour. In the past I&#8217;ve been PrincessEvil2 &#8230; but this year I thought I&#8217;d be punny and go with PrincesSlaya2. Myk is FrankenTime again, and this year at the suggestion of my friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/users\/punkbunty\/\">Shampoo<\/a> (ShamBOO for halloween) I made R2D2 be R2D666. Hehe. We celebrate for a whole month, and it makes this month just a little more funny. I also updated <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princessleia.com\/\">princessleia.com<\/a> so it&#8217;s looking a little halloweenish.<\/p>\n<p>I have things to do now *wanders off*<\/p>\n<p><\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my birthday one of my presents from Myk was Google Hacks.
