Drop-In Center Field Trip & Skype Changes.

I went out with some of the members of the Drop-In Center for mini golf and laser tag. It turned out great! The heat was annoying, but everything else was alright. I was almost left behind when I found out everyone was in the bus as I was getting my food from the counter at Castle Park. It was kind of embarrassing, yet hilarious. My group lost during laser tag after two rounds. I kept being a part of the yellow team, no matter who was on my group. Lol, running around trying to shoot your opponents was tiring. Overall, I love and will miss the experiences I've had with the members. The main coordinators, Ernie and Yenny are in negotiations with the new after school program regarding whether or not they'll remain at LA High. I do hope that they do stay because they sure kick ass. I may do some community service/leadership related programs sometime during summer and perhaps throughout the whole senior year. I sure do need to step it up more.

Now on to Skype. Basically, it's a way to communicate with others through your microphone that acts like a telephone. Though it has some issues with the major lags and what not, it's a useful program that helps you keep in touch better than Ustream.tv I suppose. So far it's been great talking to the Ustream members, well just certain ones. These newbies keep entering our chat and conference, which is going too far. I love our 'Skype Crew' and all, which consists of at least 12-13 people. Nowadays it's like 16. That can nearly destroy my internet. The noobs are expanding and it's not good. They make the conversation awkward and uninteresting. At first I was used to Ustream full of noobies these days, but Skype is another story. I don't mean to sound selfish or anything, but lately it hasn't been the same. Skype has brought people closer, especially with the people I've been speaking to now. I know our conversations can be off topic at times, but the beauty of it is the closure from each and every one of us, as well as what we have in common. I'm not interested into talking to such annoying and odd individuals who are only on the conference because the main person that is in charge of the chat in which they were/are in, is either the host or participating. Certain people add these noobs and it has to be stopped. Skype is the only place in which we all connect and having more useless people is apparently getting out of hand. I don't know if anyone would agree to this, but hey...everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just hope this cools down soon though. It's not so exciting as it used to, but it's still worth it.
