Stupid

I've been stupid. Okay, not very stupid, but slightly stupid. See, I was trying to download Snatch , because my parents took my "hard copy" of the movie with them. I should have made them leave it here. Oh well. Anyway, so I was trying to download this for hours! I am not even joking! I literally spent three hours trying to get a copy of the movie that actually worked. Sad? Very. As soon as I realised how sad this was, I researched some movie download sites. I landed on one that had a one-year subscription to downloadable movies for 19.95USD. I found this reasonable, so I took it. Ok, maybe I didn't find it reasonable, maybe I just wanted to use my shiny new credit card online. Maybe I was stupid! Point is, I got a one-year subscription of which I was very proud. Oooh, look at me all grown up. I just used my credit card! I was proud, but nervous like the geek I am, but then I thought to myself, hey, it's my credit card, it'll be my money, no one can ever call me on it. So I got into this site and do you know what they tell me?? They tell me to download ARES!!! I was annoyed, but I did it. AresULTRA 1.0.1. Ok, now what. Now, this site tells me, download whatever movies you want on Ares!!! Why thank you very much!!! At first I thought they'd scammed me, but then I saw that AresULTRA is not a free service, so I went on and downloaded the movie. The download went well, so I was happy for a while. But then when I tried downloading others, they wouldn't download!!!! I was back to where I had started from, 20 dollars (american!) poorer! Which is when I realised that I share my credit card with my dad. And he's gonna have some questions about this purchase....CRAP. *Sigh* I'm muy frutrated.

I'm sure everyone feels the same way about their credit card virginity. The feeling like a geek bit, I mean. As for the ability to only download one movie, does it state that its a one-per-day thing maybe? It might explain-o.

As for your dad's questions, deny everything. He will become confused and you triumph by default.
