I use my Blackberry to keep track of all the holiday activities and such.  It also gets all my email, texts, etc so that I'm always updated on the newest plans.

Submitted by iASHLEY.

I would say that it would have to be when the World Trade Centers were attacked.  I think that was my first real awakening, when I saw that the world wasn't all fun and games.  That bad things happen and you need to learn to live with them.

Well, I've been thinking about trying the $1 a day diet.  Even though I don't need to save the money, I think it would be an amazing learning experience.  However, right now I'm a little to thin to try something like this =/

What's the last gadget/toy you bought that you didn't really need? Why did you buy it?

The last gadget I bought and didn't need was a bluetooth headset for my blackberry.  I ended up buying it because it would make life so much easier when I'm driving and need to talk on the phone.  It also helps me discretely listen to conference calls while in another meeting.

What was the best thing about your weekend?

I know I haven't been posting lately, but the best thing about this weekend was being finished with orientation.  I'm starting school again and we had orientation from July 10 until July 13.  It was full of "team building" stuff with the people in my dorm.  I actually start classes today and I was excited to find that I don't have to take any math classes (I tested out of all of the required ones).

What's the best April Fools' Day prank you've ever had pulled on you?

I hope it's that the Qotd and Vox hunt are leaving, otherwise I'm going to be disappointed =/  I usually don't fall for them or figure them out fast so there's never been an amazing one pulled on me.
