The United States has 252,908,000 Internet users in the country, that's 74.2% of the population

And sadly, my parents are part of the 26% that does not.
Yeah, I lived a sad life.
Lately it seems I have been obsessed with the Internet. I mean, more than usual.
It's really addicting, oh especially that one site.. what's it called?
Oh yeah, YouTube.
I guess in the past, I never really paid that much attention to it. If I wanted to see
a music video or something, I'd look it up.
But there are some freakin' funny people on there!
No joke!
I subscribe (which I just learned how to do) to RayWilliamJohnson
and seriously, he's absolutely hilarious.
And his friend MeekaKitty is so weird, it's great.

Also, another site I just found is dailybooth.com.
It's.. different. You update with pictures and captions.
That's it.
So far, I have two followers and they both seem creepy.
We'll see how far that goes.

I also got a gmail (which is funny because Google doesn't recognize it was a word.. there's a little red squiggly line under it) and downloaded Google Chrome.
I just feel so.. connected and "in the know" which really doesn't make any sense.
These websites and other things have been around for awhile, I'm just slow.
I haven't had much Internet practice as everyone else.
Sheltered, remember?

Well, how about another topic? The Olympics?
Yeah, I haven't been as diligent as I have been in the past.
I've just been really busy okay? Don't judge.
I did watch a new Olympic sport=skicross.
Yeah, it's as weird as it sounds.
Basically it's a motorcross track covered in snow
and people ski on it in a race.
But yet I watched it for about three hours.
Again, don't judge.

Apollo (who I happen to be obsessed with) got a bronze yesterday
which is sad.
That dude totally pushed him out of the way
which seems illegal, but what do I know?
Oh wait.. nothing! Haha, j/k
But USA won that hockey game against Canada!
I think it was 5-2 (or 3) and it was awesome!
Okay, so I didn't watch it, but I heard it was awesome.

Well, this was short but I must depart.
Places to be, people to see, tests to take.
Blah blah blah

Here are the links for RWJ and Meekakitty!

4.93.6% of Twitter profiles have less than 100 followers and 92.4% follow less than 100 profiles

I am part of that statistic, sadly. I have exactly....30 followers and following 64 people, most of whom are celebrities and athletes because I'm creepy.
Oh yes, I am a Twitter-er.. Tweeter.. well whatever. I enjoy it.
And you know, I really don't know why. Summing up my thoughts in 140 words or less
is kind of a fun challenge.
I think that the popularity of Twitter will grow. It's fun, do it.. everyone else is.. *peer pressure*
Okay just kidding..

Today is February 15th, the day after Valentine's Day. And yes, I went another year without a Valentine. Guess what? I'm okay with it.
But I did get to go see the movie "Valentine's Day" and it was really good. It was just so.. happy and it put me in a good mood. I don't know if people expected it to be serious or something, but I don't understand why it's getting so many mixed reviews. People, it was good! And a good date movie, not that I would know.

I experienced my first Waterloo Black Hawk game of the season. I'm a little behind, I know this, but it's better late than never right? Yeah, I know, not all the time.
But still, hockey is so much fun to watch live. On TV, it's not as fun. Which I feel is the same for all sports, but whatever. They won, in case you were wondering. 3-2 in overtime. There were no fights, which was disappointing. And I really like going for another reason: the cute guys! Ha, yeah I know this is a totally girly blah blah reason for going, but dang it, they are adorable.
(minus all the bruises and chipped teeth and blood).

So I've been looking up YouTube videos and I've picked out a few of my favorites

Wii Fit Parady: my favorite part is 1:15

"The Wii Fit looks great with anything from IKEA.."

We Are The World-Artists for Haiti

We all must come together to help these people in their time of need.

And that's it for Monday's rendition of my random thoughts. I guess I have to go to work now. Who knows when I'll post next. Maybe when I have time.. yeah right.
