Went to church this Easter morning, which was a nice service. Then I went to my favorite pizza place for lunch (Mellow Mushroom, in case anyone runs into one

Same... I've been stalking LJ when I should be packing and stuff. But this is more fun >__> (And as I write this, my mom just came by and peeked in my room, only to walk back down the hallway saying, "No, she's not packing; she's on her computer. Her stuff's just lying everywhere.")
My parents probably should have made me pack before I did anything, but they're busy helping my brother with a DVD of a slide show of pictures from his Peru trip that he's supposed to be sending out.
Well, it works, the challenge is getting it working on the school network. And I have not set up the VPN, because I really don't feel like being on the school network when I don't have to ^^
Oh, I think I was able to use it while we were at school... I just didn't keep using it because I'm stubborn and like to use the chat programs (since I only use 2 anyway).
I was on the VPN a couple times over break, when I wanted to check my mail on Outlook, but I found that it had problems keeping a connection with my instant messaging programs when I disconnected from the VPN (I found it made the internet a little slow), so I pretty much just stopped and started checking my email on Web Mail again.
I'm personally quite fond of the VPN... Outlook runs my life, so anything that makes it run properly more of the time is good in my book! Of course, the only problem I've had with it so far has been that it shut off once, but that was after a period of at least 24 hours, so... *shrugs*
Oh, I don't dislike it, I just don't tend to use Outlook calendar when I'm home on breaks (unless they're particularly longer breaks), and I noticed it tended to make my videos load more slowly (which was not prime, considering half my break was Hulu)... otherwise I probably wouldn't have had a problem with it.
I just remembered why I even asked about Pidgin in the first place. I was going to shamelessly ask for your AIM screen names if you had them... my list is so empty XD

And it's kinda cool when my posts have longer comment threads than the journals that LJ advertises on their main page ^^

Did you get your Pidgin stuff working yet?

And I don't know how to make it work, either. Perhaps Nathan knows? I know he's quite fond of Pidgin.

It's a quest!
