Ringo is a photo sharing community. You sign up and share photos with people via website. you can have as many friends as you want. It is like myspace and facebook, only i dont think you have blogs. All you do is share photos and talk. I think they updated it to where you can share public for everyone to see, or private for just your friends. Go to www.ringo.com if you want to know. I havent used it in years, so i am out of the loop.

haha yeah it seems odd, im so sorry for making you become an ad for ringo ;P but what can you do?

I feel so weird taking a plane to this...I'm from new jersey, but some offers are so cheap, it would actually cost more to drive down there, so yeah I have a shorter flight than anyone else taking a plane lol....man im excited for this

I am taking a plane too, I think it will be about 3 hours ride for me. I dont care to be Ringo's ad (Though getting paid for it would work better...)but, um...I hope i dont set any alarms off at the airport. never been on a plane before. Metal detectors and myself do not get along. I do not think it would look good on my college application...(Teenager attacked by air plane attendents on way to National Security Forum for National Youth Leadership. What does this say about our next generation National Security?) yeah..Washington would not like that...

So...does anyone else have facebook? I just created mine, and it surprised me to see half of my school on there...

i got one, i think...just so i could see what it was about, i don't remember what i used..i'll look for you though! my flight is about eight or nine hours....i made the trip once for my eigth grade Washington D.C. trip, but it was soooo long! i have a hard time staying inactive...this should be interesting!

Cool. That must suck having to be on a plane for that long. And not having anyone to talk to, also! I guess you should just hope you do not have to sit next to someone that snores. Though I will probably sleep the whole 2 or 3 hours. ;p. If you have any summer reading, you should bring that...or sleep like I will.

umfortunately (sp) my reading is done, and i wont have any more till later in the year! yeah, i'm worried who i'll have to sit next! might not be that bad if it's a cute guy.....

lmao. At least we know where your mind is on the way to the national security meeting. I hope we don't have too many meetings, or seminars(sp) as my father said. I will fall asleep if they drone on about random security things. Which, considering it is the government, they will most likely do just that...annoying politisions...anyways...who are you rooting for in the presidential election of next year?

by the way: facebook link: http://hs.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1332000040

and anyway even if you're not sitting next to some hot guy ;P, start talking to the person/people you're sitting next to if (s)he seems like he or she is up to it.....you never know, you can be making a connection that you wont want to lose

if we do have a lot of meetings, it'll probably be interesting...aka stuff normal people going to dc on vacation will never see nor know about

Who am i rooting for......well, i haven't been paying as much attention as i should, though i can tell you not Hilary Clinton. Maybe Thompson,...but i need to check out the candidates more!

very good point! though in reality, i'm, more likely to do that than talk to a cute boy....

here's my facebook link http://hs.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1525560819

i tried to get to you page, but it woulnd't let me!

ahhh sorry i made this into a long discussion about facebook, so on a different topic....
exactly 12 weeks until we show dc what we're all about woot

yes!! i can not wait! i am so excited.....

I would just like to introduce myself..My name is Robert but I go by Bobby and I'm from a small town called Normal in Illinois. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do in my future, but I will probably major in International Relations and see where it takes me. I'll be a senior in high school this year and here's my myspace if anyone wants to talk more on there:

i am so excited! i have already ordered the books the recomended reading and am going to read them when we go to colorado in a couple of days

i've read one of them so far, King Leopold's Ghost, it was really eye opening!! have fun CO!!

Colorado=awesome I lived there for four years, you'll have fun there....just avoid garden of the gods which is near the Air Force Academy...total waste of time and just a touristy place unless you want to climb an odd rock formation

I am currently in the middle of King Leopold's Ghost, but took a hiatus because I'm a Harry Potter dork

Is anyone going to use that Payoneer card? I am having to fight with my mom to get it, she refuses to sign for a card on the internet. do you think it's worth it?

what's a payoneer card? are we supposed to get them?
