You see, every night my parents turn off the WiFi, so I have to come up with new and inventive ways of getting it back on without disrupting their sleep. I've had many a successful mission, but it's a difficult task: Their room is directly across from mine and my mom is a REALLY light sleeper. In the past, I've ended up waiting 20 minutes on our flight of stairs waiting to be sure that they're asleep.
Of course, I only feel comfortable doing this on a weekend, which is why I'm in such a good mood right now. Rule #75 of my 100 Great Truths About School: On Thanksgiving, give thanks for a five-day weekend. And yes, this list does exist. I'll upload it sometime, as long as it doesn't compromise the security of my age group's secrets.
Thanksgiving really is kind of a stupid holiday if you think about it, though. It just represents the ONE day when Native Americans and Europeans DIDN'T kill each other. But I guess that's such a momentous occasion that it had to go down in the history books.
I have a confession to make: I'm writing this in bed, on my laptop, at 11:00, after turning on the WiFi 'illegally'. Wow-- how much more of a stereotypical blogger could I become? But it really is a never-ending quest. I keep coming up with new and inventive ways of turning on that damn switch, and they keep trying to come up with new and inventive ways of stopping me. Hint: Only one of us is ever successful.
A lot of time and effort could be saved if they just left it on all night, but I guess it isn't easy for them to admit defeat. So I'll just have to keep putting on socks, opening the door without it squeaking, crawling commando-style down the stairs, narrowly avoiding the different creaky floorboards that I've learned to watch out for, and at long last turning on my precious, precious internet.
Anyway, that's all I got for now. Stay tuned for the 2012 G-FORCE COVERAGE OF THE SAN FRANCISCO CAR SHOW (Sponsored by Eggo). It twill be awesome!
Bye!
