So, I tried negotiating with my mom...

Me: Nanay, can I get Skype

Mom: Yeah, why?

Me: *can't tell I have social life* So when I get friends who have Skype, I can make friends who have it and Skype them. Think about it, it's a horizon of new opportunities!

Mom: Yeah, so make friends when school starts

Me: ...why...

DID I MENTION I HAVE NO SOCIAL LIFE WHATSOEVER
