I want to shank my Netgear wireless router. I realize that would not be wise but it would feel good in the moment lol. All I want is wireless internet-is that too much to ask? My Comcast modem works just fine but who wants to be forced to sit in one spot because they have to plug crap in? No one that's who. And Comcast is plug crazy because they charge $150 for the installation. Seriously, it should not cost that much to plug in a few wires and type some stuff in. I've set up a wireless router before in college and it only took a couple of mins, it was easy peasy. So naturally I was not going to have my mom pay that ridic installation fee and opted to do it myself.
I set up everything but when I go to connect to my wireless network it says I have excellent signal strength but no internet access...que??? I tried redoing it, Googling answers, and even resorted to Comcast customer service. Lil miss Kristine-if that's her real name, of course gave me the obvious solutions that any common sense person w/ reading skills would try. So now my last resort is calling Netgear customer service. If that doesn't work...Step1) I'll ave a conniption. Step 2) return router Step 3) get a linksys router which I setup & used w/ Comcast in college and works perfectly fine. But hopefully it won't come to that lol

A Mixed Bag of Fun & Disappointment
Tonight I went to a game night with a bunch of my new friends from my new church. It was AWESOME! I'm an only child so I'm quite deprived when it comes to game experience but I was quite proud of my performance. We played Mad Gab & Encore-neither of which I have previous experience playing & I am happy to say that I dominated Mad Gab!!! That's def a new fave game of mine :0)
After game night, most of us went to the 7-11 down the street for some snackage and parking lot loitering. During that time I said something to a friend of mine. This friend legit took offense to what I said. I was quite shocked because I'm pretty sure if anyone else I know had heard what I said, they would've thought it was funny-as it was intended to be. This friend wasn't personally offended, they're just an uptight Christian and ths felt it was inappropriate. I promise you my statement was no such thing. I'm still shocked that my friend reacted that way! It just really disappointed me to have my friend react that way to such a harmless and funny statement. There's a big diff between where humans draw the line & where Jesus draws the line & I seriously doubt Jesus would've dislike what I said...seriously! I highly dislike discovering uptight Christians, especially if it's someone I considered myself close to. In truth, I've been noticing their uptight nature over time and tonight was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Now I don't feel like I can be myself around my friend. Of course Jesus' judgement is the only one that matters but it still makes for a highly uncomfy situation to be on edge about everything you do or say around someone to avoid tripping their alarm of uptightness. Ah well, I'm just going to have to withhold my true self from my friend and pray that I find Christian friends that don't nitpick...
