2004
Posted on Monday, 26th January 2004 at 1:39amYou know you are living in the year 2004 when…
- Your reason for not staying in touch with family is because they do not have e-mail.
- You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
- Your grandmother asks you to send her a JPEG file of your newborn so she can create a screen saver.
- You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
- Every commercial on television has a web site address at the bottom of the screen.
- You buy a computer and 3 months later it’s out of date and sells for half the price you paid.
- Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.
- Using real money, instead of credit or debit, to make a purchase would be a hassle and take planning.
- You just tried to enter your password on the microwave.
- You consider second-day air delivery painfully slow.
- Your dining room table is now your filing cabinet.
- Your idea of being organized is multiple-colored Post-it notes.
- You hear most of your jokes via e-mail instead of in person.
- You get an extra phone line so you can get phone calls.
- You disconnect from the Internet and get this awful feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.
- You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
- You wake up at 2 AM to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on your way back to bed.
- You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
Oh and happy Australia Day, be sure to drink, say g’day a lot and have a BBQ. ![]()

My mom was leaving the house once, got in her car and realized she forgot something, so she called me from the driveway on the cell. So I was talking to her and then turned and saw the car, and said “You’re still in the driveway” and she said “Yes” and then I hung up on her.

Lol @ that list, hehe.. I love the end one, tilting your head to smile, haha.
Another one that could be added, saying ‘LOL’ out loud in public. I do that. Now I know I should refrain from using the internet as much. =P It’s doing strange things to me, hehe.Its 8:30am on Australia Day, why am I up early? BDO in a few hours, woohoo. Happy Australia Day Kitta! Have fun, xoxoxo.

Is it just me, or does the CSS border/shadow effect around my pictures look fucked today. *scratches head*
Seems to work in mozilla firebird, but not IE. ?:/

Kitta, this is the error message that pops up at the top of my screen (on IE)
‘Warning: ob_start(): output handler ‘ob_gzhandler’ cannot be used twice in /home/kitta/public_html/b2-include/b2functions.php on line 634′
Hope this helps

Yeah, that just happened this morning. I’ll have to wait till my host wakes up to ask him about it. I think it might be due to the server move.
It might also be fucking up the css.

G’day Kitta!
I try to use smilies in real life all the time. People look at you funny when you start making weird hand gestures in the middle of a conversation. Hands are a pretty lousy ASCII emulator, too…
A question: Given you’re a girl, could I say “G’day mate” or should that “mate” be changed to something else?

Would “G’day Sheila” work ?? … my knowledge of Australian colloquialism is based on Neighbours !!
You know when it is 2004 when you can not book a Summer holiday in Portugal and Electronic Arts release two football games in one year !!

Love the last one. Several times people around me have stared at my notes for a couple ofminutes before turning it 90° clockwise and realise that the last word isnt a word but a hand-drawn smiley.
