When you're logging into someplace that you don't log into very often (bank stuff, residence hall stuff, etc.) , they should tell you "this password called for at least 6 characters, at least one each of lowercase, capital, and numeric" so you don't have to spend ages going through and trying every combination of passwords/passwords + numbers/passwords with capitalization you have. Grr.

Edit: So okay, I got this thing to work. Now . . . wishing I hadn't. I don't have a problem with conservative people. If you're decent, we can get along fine. Same with religious people. Three suitemates (out of three--every one of them) that list "Jesus" as one of their favorite things, however, and we may have a problem. As in, I marked on the request form that I wanted people that were okay with "alternative lifestyles", but I also requested a specific section/floor--the honors bit--of one of the dorms, and I'm afraid that the latter overrode the former. I suppose I should have anticipated this, going farther south in Missouri, but I didn't. Shit.

A bit worried there, then. Anybody down there wanna give me a different place to live?

Edit again: And LOL, two/three of them are from Peculiar, MO. (I can't find anything much on the last one. The third, the one I'm actually rooming with, is from Arkansas.) This is hilarity.

Moar: It's interesting that most of these (for lack of a better word) hickville schools don't seem to have as strict of age requirements for entering school as the more urban ones do. I've always been the youngest in my grade forever, simply because my birthday is a week before the kindergarten registration cutoff of August 1st--if you weren't 5 by then (and mum tried to get me in at 4 because I could read and do maths and communicate better than half the people who live in my city and such and they were like "Yeah, we would, but county rules say no," so this is a no-exception type thing), you had to wait another year. I think I'm the oldest of all my suitemates. Tis odd.

If we can get a four person together, I guess that'd be cool too. At least then we'd both have someone we KNOW we like!

Well, I was a dipshit and turned my stuff in kind of later, because I gave them the wrong SSN, then couldn't get a fax machine to work for me because I fail. So I'm not quite certain what's going on...

I think I'll ask that question. I'm certain I'm in HC, I signed up for it when I went in to do the interview for the Pres. Scholarship, but maybe they didn't get it? When I get denied for the next request I just made a few hours ago, I'll e-mail the lady back and make certain that I am in fact honors college...*panics a bit*

I know two other people going to MSU, but they weren't really friends. One is very...strange and has an annoyingly pitched voice, and the other is insane. Partier and stuff, not my style, thanks.

Do you have AIM? or google talk?

This is true. And LOL at applications!fail. Fax machines are difficult, though; our generation was never really taught how to use them because everybody started moving to email, yet they hang around enough to be confusing.

And I don't, actually, have either of the IM things. I use different computers a lot, especially in the summer when I hang out down at the library (IL that book smell, plus my parents don't like running the air conditioning as much as would be comfortable, so I go hang out and leech literary coldness), plus, idk, I prefer to have the record of email or whatever.

Did you ever tell me when your SOAR thing was? I seem to remember July, amirite?

(Oh, and update on the my suitemates thing? One of them changed her religion thing on Facebook from just "Christian" to "Christian--it's a relationship, not a religion". I've always found that creepy-arsed, marriage to god crap just incestuous as hell--is he the heavenly father or your husband, because you really need to pick just one, IMO.)
