I am at my busiestime of the year right now, so I won't be around too much over the next two weeks, but I'll try to look in on you all from time to time.
Primarily, I think that a lot of people don't start getting excited about Halloween until September or late August. I can't get enough of it, however.

Bad news. Next week, after my school year ends, my school is taking back computers and upgrading them. I won't be having a computer until about August. :/

You don't have a computer at home? Well that sucks.

I'd call your local library and see if they offer computer time.

Most libraries I've been to give you an hour. They won't let you chat, but I never saw the harm in going on message boards.
There was one that only gave you half an hour, but I don't think they restricted you on chatting.
Fortunately I have the internet at home so it's not a problem. But ouch, all I can say is that I feel your pain, because I remember when I had to go without the internet. It really sucked because the internet is like a window into the outside world.

When I use to go to the library to use the computer, I got one hour for free, and every additional hour was a $1.50 charge.

Luckily I seldomly need to use the computer at the library any more. Sure, if I'm looking for a book or a movie, and I happen to be there and need to ceck my e-mail or something I'll log on, but I never go beyond the "free" limit any more. Besides my computer at home is more private.
One thing I will say on my library's behalf. They have an EXTNESIVE collection of movies on VHS and DVD, and I almost never have to go to a video store and pay rent for anything because of that.

Here in over priced California, our library charged $1.50 for a 3-day checkout for DVD's.
VHS are free.

*Professor Farnsworth voice* Good news, everyone! I'm getting this computer switched out for a new laptop! So I should be on over the summer.
(Unless, of course, they hold onto it over the summer, which I doubt.)

Worse news. The state of Ohio is beginning budget cuts, primarily for charter/homeschooling programs. Therefore, if a bill gets passed with charter schools being cut, I will not be back next year. :/
It might be a while before I'd come back.

Alright, folks. I'll be losing the computer and internet after the 12th of June.
I'll be online sometimes over the summer, but I won't be on like I usually do.
Unless, of course, I leech off of my neighbor's wireless.
