I know about the Internet. It's a pastime!
You'll be getting a more in-depth entry from me tomorrow or Friday, probably, but today Rob and I had fun talking to SmarterChild on AIM. Why is it so much fun to insult and yell at something that can barely form a coherent sentence in response...?

SmarterChild: Yeah, whatever.
Erin: Don't whatever me

SmarterChild: What?
Erin: Never mind
SmarterChild: No problem.
