Even if you don't, what would you recommend buying?"I do its free on my contact, its average I would say, I find it useful for 2 things, interneting and social media. But if you just want a phone to text and call people with I wouldn't recommend getting a smart phone.

Yes, very excited! Started French yesterday...
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Leah! Comment ça va?
Other than that, I'm just trying to get ready for next Speech season.
Mod
Is that right? That's about the extent of my knowledge of French. How is it?
Trying to get ready? How do you prepare?"
Yup, you're absolutely correct! :) I'd like to take the summer to pick out my piece for next year, cut it, block it, get it competition ready, etc. because I won't have time during the school year between AP classes, theatre, and tournaments.

That's pretty awesome! Really cool!
I officially finish school for ever in like 26 hours! Well after a day of sitting in a tent listening to really boring speeches and then a ball where everyone says good bye and then I'm done! a free bird, just uni which has a lot less restraints compared to school, I'm so exited for the freedom!
Mod
Yep I'm now free. I thought it would be really easy to just leave but its weird I just saw everyone there in a group and thought this is the last time I will see these people for a long time! It was really emotional and nearly everyone was crying. Well now I'm free will hopefully be off to uni in September!H99 wrote: "Virus-safe.
In some things, yes, they're ridiculously strict, and in others, no. They just don't like it if I install/download anything from a site they don't know of."
My parents are like that and yeah it sucks. But I'm moving away to uni soon and then I'll be free!
H99 wrote: "FREEDOM! Aww, that sucks. You'll keep in touch, right?Yup, it does. They've loosened up considerably, though. I even downloaded an app on my phone from a site instead of from the Play Store, and ..."
Yeah, I'll try to keep in touch with as many as I can/want to!
And yeah I'm really looking forward to it as no matter what I'm in a different country to the one I live in!

And now the family call her Princess Emily...RIDICULOUS!
I was about to snort my brains out from laughing.

Is that sarcastic? Or did he actually said it sincerely, because that makes him more stupid.
Lia wrote: " I do agree with Gaiman though. If they're going to pirate it, that means that they wouldn't have bought it in the first place."Not sure if this is always true. Alot of times people pirate things because they are very hard to obtain legally, or too expensive. An example is the TV show Game of Thrones. Everybody wants to watch it, but its only available to stream if you have an HBO Go account. And to have an account, you need to pay for HBO itself on cable, so you need to pay an extra $60 on your normal TV bill just to stream Game of Thrones. This makes your bill what, $100-200 a month?
So people who would willingly want to spend $10 on Netflix and watch it legally cannot do this, so they pirate.
If we take a look at video games, for example, we can see the pirating has gone down at sales on Steam has gone up. Why? Because Steam offers games at great prices, giving people no need to pirate. Pirates would stop if the entertainment industry used the Steam model, or a Netflix model.

French! Awesome. :)
Awesome. What do you do?"
Orthodontists are just wonderful creatures, aren't they? Full of vague phrases like, "not much time left," but no one knows what they REALLY mean. :)
ASMing? Pretty much slave labor haha! I pretty much practice to be a Stage Manager and do whatever they want me to for the duration of rehearsals and then work crew for the show. It's so stressful, but it's a lot of fun, and you kind of move up the reliability (and responsibility) ladder in the director's mind if you succeed.
