On my Facebook I now have friended three cousins from my mom's side of the family. I see everyone from my dad's side of the family on an almost annual basis, and compared to that, the amount of contact I've had with my mom's side of the family amounts to pretty much nothing - and in fact I have never had any sort of contact whatsoever with two of these Facebook cousins. One of them wrote on my wall today asking "What's new?" I was complaining to my dad about how that's such a ridiculous question when what's new to her is everything that's ever happened in my life ever, and he agreed with me that I should reply all, "Well, let's start with my birth." hahahaha, I don't know why but this amuses me so. >xD

In unrelated news, I was on Skype today for six hours and twenty minutes (the joy of having my own computer!), and I do not regret it at all. I'm stupidly thrilled that I was there to witness the epicness that is nine people in one Skype conversation, hahahaha, so much awesome. xD xD <333!

We need to! I don't have school on Fridays so I'd be able to stay up.

I think you should definitely reply with your dad's answer. Cause it's beyond awesome.

I know how it is with the cousin thing- all of mine live in England, so we go years and years without real contact. >.>

Also, how does having so many people on skype at the same time even work? *is interested in your explanations*

I feel like I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, and my Skype knowledge is still kind of pathetic, but it seems that one person has to do something to set up the group chat, and from that point on that person has exciting modly abilities like the power to invite people and the power to kick people out. And they get a little crown on their icon, lol, it's cute. xD

I was really expecting it to be complete chaos once we passed more than, like, four people in there at once, with people talking over each other all the time, but actually it wasn't that bad at all! Of course it might've helped that we had a few people without microphones, so they were typing while the rest of us were talking, making things a little less chaotic than they might've otherwise been. xD

It was a lot of fun though! It's so weird to me how I have such huge anxieties surrounding the simple act of using the telephone, even when I'm calling someone I know quite well, and then meanwhile I'm all "Skype chat with eight of my online friends? SIGN ME UP!!" xDDDD

Pretty much I was asking exactly what you answered- who started it and was it chaos? So good job! XD

I guess eventually it would just sort of be like a regular conversation with that many people. Wait your turn to talk, yo!

Oh, man, I know right?! I really don't like the phone at all, but Skype is so cheap and easy, and it's like talking face to face! :DDD

Lmao your dad! That's a good answer bahahaha.

Oooh I hope we skype again this weekend, I wanna skype for sure tomorrow since I have the whole day off, yay :) I feel so much closer to you guys 'cause of it hehe.

Ooh, I can be on tomorrow! :D Although I'll have to leave halfway through to go to work, boo. I agree, even if we're talking about the same things as in chat it's somehow more personal to hear everyone's voices. I like it. :D
