Introduction

Woah. Thirty units now. That's crazy isn't it? Shoutout to those few who have been here since the very beginning... Though I kind of forget who all those are, lol. Judging by dates on comments, that is for sure LogicalCabbage and Doppelgengar! I'm pretty sure our friend Stormlocke wasn't very far behind though :)

*realizes that this book has been more consistent than my actual stories these days* *shudders*

Piece of Life Wall

For my classes back at a community college, I needed access to the Adobe Creative Suite, which is pretty much a lot of money per month to be able to use their software (Photoshop, After Effects, etc.). Well when I finally tried to cancel it, guess what?! $160 cancellation fee!

No way was I paying that.

As an alternate option, however, you can instead switch to a different subscription or get the next two months free (as a way of trapping you into falling into the same pitfall as before).

By switching to the cheapest option (just in case things didn't work), I effectively created a new plan in their system--one with a 14 day refund period. I then cancelled that one without any repercussions.

And that kids is how you avoid spending money by beating the programmer that done goofed and left a loophole.

Not-so-idle Chat Wall

Siri: *gives huge explanation that is a game show but the readers just glaze their eyes over it* All right! Let's get started!

Kyle: I'm ready!

Venom: Am I the only one who is going to acknowledge the wall's name change?

Naomi: Quiet Venom.

Siri: First Question: What--

Kyle: 8.

Siri: I'm sorry, but that is not correct.

Kyle: But this is my book I thought?!

Siri: Continuing on. What is the number that comes before 8?

Naomi: Seven!

Venom: I was going to say seven...

Kyle: U wot m8?

Siri: Correct! Naomi gets one point! Wait to hear the question next time, Kyle. Second Question: How many valid nicknames does Kyle have now, according to Nyx?

Kyle: I know! Seven right?

Siri: Wrong!

Venom: Fifty seven and a fifth!

Siri: Correct! Point to Venom!

Venom: Sheesh, Kyle. *flips hair* That's an easy one to memorize. Fifty for the five syllables in the first line of a haiku, seven for the second line, and a fifth for the five in the last one.

Naomi: Dang! I knew that one too! Guess we're tied for first then!

Siri: Third Question: Name the French Queen beheaded during the French Revolution.

Kyle: Baguette! Oh wait. That's not a queen, that's a food!... Or a pokemon if you read WSGABATA.

Siri: I'm sorry, but that's wrong. Anyone else?

Venom: I got nothing.

Naomi: *shrugs*

Siri: Oh, that's too bad. The answer is--

Kyle: No! I remember the answer now! *falls to knees and screams at sky* Marie Antoinette!!!

Siri: ...I guess no one wins this time. Final score: Venom, 1; Naomi, 1; Kyle, 0; Anthony, -1; Me, the square root of -57.2. In other words, my points are imaginary but matter to me.

Venom: I think we broke the scoring system.

Conclusion

^ I have had that one saved up since the beginning of the Anthony joke :P

See you next week, my crazy but great followers!

...This is going to look so weird if I win the Pokemon Watties and people look at my account and find this stuff several months after the fact XD

...Actually this just looks weird to begin with. Good :P
