.:friends only:.
since i've decided to become a recluse and hide from the rest of the world (not really), this journal will be friends only. and yes, i know, while being a recluse doesn't include the luxury of having friends at all, i don't care. call me defiant

well, the first coupla weeks are tough. matt only got to call me from a pay phone one time, and it was really hard not to be able to keep tabs on him. but he moved in with his sponsor, and his sponsor has one of those vonage broadband phones. so, he has a US number that you can call without having to deal with long distance. if your boyfriend doesn't know about it already, you should definitely tell him to get one! the site is vonage.com. i have a phone from lingo.com, which is the same exact thing, just a different company. i'm not sure if the lingo one works in korea, but i'll find out when i go over there. they're really cheap and work just like a regular phone, you just have to have cable internet for it.
anyways... it took him a few weeks to get settled in, so i wouldn't expect to hear from him too much until then. the in-processing took forever. and it was a pain, because it took him forever to even get a mailbox, and i had stuff to send! it sucked.
the time difference is also horrible. it's 14 hour difference right now (they don't have daylight savings or anything over there), so be prepared for phone calls in the middle of the nite.
anywho... you'll hear plenty about it in my journal. haha... that's all i talk about. but yah, it's really hard at first, but it gets better over time. keep your chin up. :)

and the phone isn't a cell phone, it's just an addition to a normal telephone. when you order your start-up kit, it comes with a cable modem-lookin thing that you plug into your actual cable modem, and then you plug your phone into it. it doesn't actually come with the phone, you just have to use a regular one. but it works fine. and it has really low international rates, korea is only 6 cents a minute. but you can get a phone number with the area code from wherever you want. so, he could have the phone in korea, but i have a local number for wherever you are in the US. it sounds complicated, but it's easy. just check out the sites, they explain it better than i do. haha...
the vonage site
the lingo site
matt's been gone since feb 13. yah, the day before frickin valentine's day. ooo man, that was the worst v-day i've ever had. haha...
