Blogger is having out outage at 2am PDT on thursday. When is that? *grumbles* I'm +8 GMT and it's ALWAYS confusing when people go on blogtv and they say EST or something, and I don't get it, and always miss blogtv shows. But I would miss the shows anyway, because when people in the States are awake at a civilised time, I would be asleep or at school. There was once I saw meekakitty on blogtv really late at night my time, so it depends. Anyway, to solve this problem, we will utilise the power of the internets!

dum dum dum. Okay wiki says that PDT is Pacific Daylight Time, which is UTC-8. But this other website says it's UTC-7? And then between january and now daylight savings started, and I was blissfully unaware until Hailee told me. (she lives in illinois.) I should keep up to things. That's what the internet is for! Back to wiki. UTC means Coordinated Universal Time: "In casual use, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) can be considered equivalent to UTC or UT1 when fractions of a second are not important." Ah ha! Right so if PDT is kind of like GMT-8, then they are 16 hours behind, which would make 2am on thursday 6pm on thursday for me.

Oh snap. That's kind of when I usually blog. But school ends at 4.30 on thursday, so I'll probably go home. Maybe. Or I could finish tomorrow's post zippy quick, before it happens. And here's another thing: "Time zones around the world can be expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC; UTC replaced GMT as the basis for the main reference time scale or civil time in various regions on January 1, 1972." Whoops. I'm a little off. And if any of you were interested, it's 4.06pm wednesday afternoon here, 3.06am where Hailee is, and 7.06pm where phoung nghi is. (melbourne) Which reminds me to reply to Hailee's email.

In other news, it's so amazing that maureen johnson is doing the BEDA buddies system, because it's going to take her ages for her to match people up with their buddies. I mean AGES. There are more than a couple hundred blogs registered for BEDA; who knows how many people would want to be/have buddies. I thought she was going to get a little help from the more web-literate nerdfighters out there-- it was looking to be a daunting job. Nevertheless, I will sign up! And do up my profile page so everyone can know what I'm about. YAY for making friends :D

Though these few days I've been getting comments from people (which is always AWESOME) and then I visit their blogs, and we become friends! Or, rather, I friend them so I don't forget to visit their blogs. Beda's been a great opportunity for us to get to know the rest of the nerdfighting community and get to connect with each other as peers. It's always comforting to know that somewhere out there, someone believes in decreasing worldsuck, like you do. It makes my day a lot better and I don't feel so bummy. And it's lovely getting to read about other people's funny days, and their struggles with theatre/ reading/ youtube etc.

I think this is where I'll end today; I'm off to the discussion forums :D
