I was just on the radio!!! On Kathy and Judy on WGN Radio they were talking about the recent surge in biting ladybugs. So, I decided that I wanted to call in, because I always want to call in. So I dialed, and it was buy and I dialed and it was busy and I dialed and it was busy, for a long time. Then I dialed and it rang and rang and rang and rang and then someone picked up. "Hello, WGN Radio". And then my heart beated (beat?) really fast, because it's scary! And I said that I was in school in Grinnell, Iowa and that we had those biting ladybugs here too. So the guy who answered the phone (I think it is a producer or something) said that I could go on! So he put me in "line". (You are on the phone, and you can here them, but they can't hear you.)

So, then I heard, "And now we have Rebecca calling", and of course I don't know what I said. But I know I said that I was at school in Grinnell, Iowa, and we have the biting ladybugs here too. And then they asked about homecoming, and I said that I don't think we have a homecoming. (I don't think any colleges have homecomings, do they? They probably thought I was in high school. After I got off, my mom, who I was talking to through instant messaging, told me I sounded like I was 8 years old.) And then they said "oh, you are at a school in Iowa, not Iowa" (So maybe they just thought I went to University of Iowa?). And I said "Yes". And they said, "Oh, Grinnell, isn't that a really good school?". And I said, "it's pretty good." And they said, "Is Grinnell like Carleton?" And I questioned, "Carlton is a liberal arts school, right?". And they said, "yes", so I said, "yes". And then started asking me if I liked my roommate. So I told them I had three, and yes, they were all pretty good. And then they asked if I had a boyfriend, and I said no. And they asked if I had a boyfriend at home, and I said no. And then we said bye to each other. And I said "Thanks, bye". And I hung up the phone, and put my earphones back on, and heard myself saying "bye". (Because there is a lag time, in case someone says something they need to beep out.) And I really did sound like I was 8.

And there was a lot of other stuff I wanted to say, but gosh, it's scary! WGN has a really strong band, and they broadcast online, so lots of people listen!

So, if you listen to WGN Radio and Kathy and Judy and heard someone named Rebecca talking about ladybugs today, that was me!

Imagine... You're 12 years old and just discovered how to make a webpage. You just discovered the wonderful world of moving gifs and huge images. So, what do you do? You make your own web page, complete with all the things that make the internet wonderful.

Or so you think.

This is the webpage for that part in each person. The part that wants to have lots of moving images. The part that wants to take lots of online quizes and surveys.

Just look at all the stuff the web has to offer. You want to swallow it all up, and apply it back to your one little peice of space on the web.

This is the space...
