My happiness level is rising with every regular webpage I like to visit.  Why?  Because I'm doing it from the comfort of my apartment.  Ahhhhh~.  I know I'm somewhat addicted to the internet.  I can go without it but I'm happier with all the information at my fingertips.  It was probably good not to have it for the first couple of days because then ( Read more... )
