does this make me a rebel?

I've taken the breaking of rules to a new level. It's so deceivingly obvious I wondered why I never thought of it before. I'm thrilled to bits nonetheless, at the thought that I now have internet access 24/7, albeit illegally and at the expense of my sleep. But who cares?? *insane laughter* I have been empowered!

Aside: What slaves the internet makes of us humans.

So, back to the topic. A midnight rendezvous with my laptop and the library's (bless the library!!) wireless network. The adrenalin and excitement's pretty much worn off now. What a moment's inspiration! And when I was squelching through the quagmire of Maths setwork and assignments too. What a brilliant yet simple idea ever conceived. *dramatically* Sigh, will there be no end to my greatness?

Okay, admittedly, it is a reasonably low-risk breaking of rules, but if I ever do get caught, the consequences will be very, very grave. But I've got it all rehearsed in my head, see?

Boarding house staff (who would have to be stumbling about at midnight, which would be remotely possible, and more so if it's Fernie and Ferno): What in heaven's name are you doing out here at this time of night? You are supposed to be in your rooms.

Me: (apologetically) I'm sorry, but I have this urgent assignment due tomorrow and I had to get it done by tonight...and under all that stress I started getting all claustrophobic in my room, so I thought coming out here would help clear the clutter. And it has really, simply working wonders.

Do you think that'll work? =) Hahahah, hopefully the opportunity to use it never arises. *gleefully* Look at the time on my post...isn't it wonderful?

And that's it. Day 1 of my new-found power. Rest assured, my friends, that there will be more to come.
