Hotmail, dude? Why? I don't understand the appeal at all.
To deal with hotmail's eccentricities, nonnie, I just split my name in half (it's two words joined together), putting the first word as my "first" name and the second word as my "last" name. If that doesn't work for you, however, you can just make up a last name.
Because I was like 10 when a friend helped me make a hotmail account and it was good for utilitarian purposes until now. What do you use?
Hm, that's one solution. I tried to ~cheat the system first by entering a space as the last name, but alas even they aren't that stupid. Thanks, nonnie :)
Oh, honestly, nonnie, you brought this on yourself. Hotmail, really? I'm horrified on your behalf. Switch to something else. Almost anything else. You'll be glad, I swear.
Swtiched to Gmail a while ago. But I've never used hotmail, except over 10 years ago, and then I switched to yahoo in order to RP in the yahoo!groups that were so active at the time (pause for nostalgic sigh).
I've just never understood why people used it. Even back then. I associate it with noobs who only use the internet for IMs and social networks, so it surprised me that someone in fandom would use it.

Oh dear, I feel properly chastised now. And vaguely embarrassed by all the times I put up my fandom email in public for everyone to see and shake their heads at.
The sad thing is that I'm not big on social networking/IM-ing, I guess it just never occurred to me to use something else.
Off to switch to gmail stat. I guess that solves my problem too, huh.

Eeep. Yes, I guess I really did, didn't I? /o\
Okay, okay, switching to something less horrifically juvenile right now. AS WE SPEAK.

Make up a fake last name. That's all you can do these days.
Yeah, I guess so. I'm just irrationally annoyed at the sight of a full name, real or made up, showing up in my emails. IDK.
How the fuck am I supposed to make friends when I hate everyone??????

It's going to be super awkward if no one answers this, right?

Are you at a new school, nonnie? Or are you just a general misanthrope?
It works pretty well to find people you don't hate first and befriend them.
I little bit of both
I started my university class this week and everyone seems to know everyone besides me. Also, it's kind of hard to make friends when you're a miserable bastard.

Ah. You don't have to like people to make friends with them, you just have to stick to safe topics where your interests converge. Assuming you can make the time without affecting your grades, you should join an activity-based club on your campus. And after a rousing round of silk-screening with your fellow silk screen enthusiasts, suggest that several of you grab some lunch/dinner/Taco Bell/tea together. Enjoy witty conversation of silk-screening anecdotes, and get to know each other better. Do it a few times (not in a row) with a slightly shifting group of people so it stays casual, then broaden your relationship to suggest a few of you meet up for some kind of activity/event that takes place a few days hence. Once you start making plans with people that aren't spur of the moment, you're well on your way to making friends.

To the other two BR anons. And to the Portugal anons, I guess happy day when you lost a colony? IDK. To everyone else, happy random day of the year!!
lol thanks, nonnie. Feliz dia da Independência! I'd love to visit your country one day (anon portuguesa here).
I cannot take any more stupidity about this today. People keep asking me and one guy even made an entire set of copies of the blank back side of his file.
Every fax machine/photo copier I've ever seen in my life has a little symbol on it that tells you. FFS. You do not need to ask me. You do not need to tape a giant sign on the machine so you can remember.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS NOT BE AN IDIOT AND LOOK AT THE PICTURE ON THE MACHINE.

The fax machine at my work and I are in the middle of a five year battle. So far the fax machine is winning. Fax Machine: 123 and Me: 2. I really, really hate fax machines.
Not that this has much to do with your comment, and typically it wins by jamming something somewhere and then nothing happens, but uh... yeah. I like to gripe about it.

I'm a tracker and I thought this thread was gonna be about whether we prefer for the bottom to be on his back or on his stomach...
This is kinda stupid, but I need some help nonnies.
I'm going to a wedding this Saturday. I pretty much have what I'm wearing planned out and was not stressing out. I was showing it to my mother and she said you can't wear black to a wedding. Now I'm running around trying to figure out something else to wear and scrambling money together to go shopping. My sister says you can, my mother says you can't so it acceptable to wear black to a wedding now or do I need to go shopping again?

I'd say, don't go ALL in black. Black skirt + IDK pink blouse (or light blue or whatever) should be fine. Or if you have a white shirt, wear a blue belt as a highlight or something. Just don't do monochrome.
This being said, I will hijack this thread:
Dear person,
Fuck you for wearing a blue/brown shirt/miniskirt combo to my grandmother's funeral.
