"When Not Saving The World..."

Weekends, weekends. How I love the weekends.

And, to add to my delight, I just found out that there is a new deluxe version of Whizz Words, one of my favorite computer games of all time. I'm playing it right now, but I'm restarting because I got dealt a bunch of letters that only got me a score of 80 in the 4-letter words category, and I'm going for 100 on all categories.

In case you're wondering how this might be a ploy in  plot to save the world as we know it from impending doom...it's not.

Until I'm finished this game, and this batch of cookies, save your own world, mortals.

"A Little Rant...About the Internet"

Anyone who has ever plugged that little cable into their computer should know that the Internet can be a very intimidating place.

And yet sometimes, even when they're face-to-face with it, some people just don't understand. For instance, since you're reading this, how did you even stumble upon this blog? Did you click a link? Did you hear of it from a friend (or so I would like to think)? Were you surfing through blogs and decided to check this one out? Yes...hm. All very dangerous. However, pretty much every time we're on the Internet, half the thrill is the risk-taking, but still.

I can't just smack my Ultimatrix and save you from Internet danger every second of the day, you know. If I did have one (which I just might), I wouldn't wear it all the time, and awkward moments could occur.



And not that there's something wrong with my blog. I'm just setting an example. Anyway, what I'm really trying to say here is that people should be more careful. A lot more careful. If you wouldn't say it/do it in real life, don't do it on the Internet.

Not to mention, some people don't understand that when you play a video game online, it's still on the Internet. If you wouldn't give out personal information online, you shouldn't give it out in a game. And you shouldn't let your psychotic kids run amuck for hours unsupervised.

Yeah. That last one was directed at you, Mr. Maniacal Twelve-Or-So-Year-Old From Little Big Planet 2 Who Called Me Hideous Names Last Night For No Particular Reason.

Hm.

....Well. Just watch out for Internet safety, stranger danger, and all that good stuff, and if you ever encounter the player listed above, drop a bomb on the head of that little twerp.
