My dad, sister, and I went out to dinner with my grandmother. We were eating, and the manager or someone came up and asked how we were doing. I don't think my grandmother quite understood (her english is somewhat broken), and she told him that it was none of his business how our meal was, and that he should leave us alone. rolleyes.gif He wasn't sure how to react, of course, and he just stood there for a minute trying to figure out if she was joking or not. Finally, my father and I both said that the meal was fine and thanked him for asking. He was pretty shaken, but he intensified his plastic smile, nod/bowed, and kind of stumbled away. laugh.gif I felt sorry for him, but, at the same time, it was kind of cute. happy.gif

Personally, I dislike waiters fussing over me. I can put my own napkin over my lap, dammit, I'm not an imbecile.

blink.gif I must finally ask what a blog is. I've assumed (based on Chyld's and Yahtz's) that it was a website devoted to the writing of the host. If that's what it is, then isn't a forum basically a giant blog for all the users? huh.gif

....and now I'm really confused as to what is going on. unsure.gif

Blog -> Weblong -> online journal. Difference is that Yahtz doesn't write everyday writing "life sux!!!!11", and I only do it occasionly.

Spelling error there: weblog. The premise is that a typical blog is an online diary, updated daily.

...sad.gif...

Can someone who can actually explain things explain blogs to the poor girl?

*hugs Chyld*
You're doing fine. I think it's just that I'm incompetent when it comes to understanding things, but this is a fun game. happy.gif

So, essentially, Yahtz is an example of a lazyarse and/or busy person who runs a blog, which is why it's not updated daily, or is his site an example of one of the other things you mentioned? I'm not here everyday though, so this couldn't be my blog. Unless you look at the forums as a blog since they're updated daily. huh.gif

I shall let this stew in my subconscious for a while.

I just got new games. happy.gif

To save me a helluva lot of time see if that helps.

EDITED EDIT: Having just discovered that Google own Blogger, the people I blog under, I'm quite unhappy now...
