he he he
In response to [person] pointing out a diversity questionnaire that started out asking for gender and only providing the usual two tickyboxes ...) They're not trying hard enough: it should be like this: 1. Gender: a. Male. [ ] (1 = Strongly disagree, 10 = Strongly agree) b. Female. [ ] (1 = Strongly disagree, 10 = Strongly agree) c. Other - please specify. Attach additional pages if required. Use blue or black pen for diagrams. 2. Did question 1 disturb you? [...] I just found this amusing and thought I would share | | Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 | | 7:21 am |
I really kind of like the fact that I last updated "93 weeks ago" Apparently I just don't particularly care about LJ. It's summer now, and I'm working a bit more. In about a month and a half, I should be moving back into a ministry house with a couple new guys. I really want to blow up a small portion of my country on Saturday. Other than that, I'm tired because I woke up at 5:15 this morning. Can't think of anything else to write. Farewell | | Sunday, September 16th, 2007 | | 2:29 pm |
I wanted to hang w/ Lea today. Apparently, not gonna happen. Damn! LJ is weird. | | Sunday, May 6th, 2007 | | 10:57 pm |
Salinger
J. D. Salinger would be a wonderful author if he would just learn to write a bloody story. He can write a conversation, he can write an action, he can write a situation all beautifully! His command of the english language is phenomenal(sp?). But he cannot use these things to put forth an actual story, a plot. And on that point, make sure the climax has something to do with the rest of the story please. Why did he shoot himself in the (right) temple? Why did she freak out because of an imaginary friend? Why the hell do you want to hang out w/ those weirdos? and why don't you want your $? Why did you break it off? Kike? who cares? | | Saturday, October 28th, 2006 | | 10:14 pm |
college
I haven't updated in quite a while. Sorry about that, if any of you actually care. I've decided to talk about my college career so far. And because I remember them, it is going to be listed by dates. Sept 15: I move into Arkham (Bonus points if you recognize the name). I live with Ryan Smith(house leader), Eric Kishbaugh(Kish)(my roommate), Eric Hogan(Hogie), Bob Stasko(Bobfather), Kevin Beamer(Beamer), and Joel Knapke(Axis man). Sept 20: First day of class. Freshmand Survey at 7:30 taught by Matt Turner. French 102.66 at 1 taught by Kofi Amedekanya. Psychology 100 at 3 taught by Joanna Workman Math 150(precalc) at 4:30 by Paul Ponomarer Sept 21: College is the only place in my entire academic career where something like this could happen. Teacher: Well, I suppose we should get to some math then... Collective class: We don't really have to, you know Single classmate: we could go to the concert Teacher: There's a concert? Who's in it Class: band/group A, B, and C Teacher: And you guys want to go to this Class: yeah Teacher: alright Class: what?

Is it normal to just lie on your bed, your eyes closed and do nothing for a half hour? No music. Nothing to look at when I did open my eyes except 'SOAD' and 'If'. I'm just feeling out of sorts. It feels like I'm missing something. Current Music: VNV Nation - Perpetual | | Sunday, September 3rd, 2006 | | 9:29 pm |
So I'm out of high school. In fact I am going to be in college in less than a month. And yet, I still am immersing myself in high school drama. I just wish I could help more of them. Current Music: Missing-Evanescence | | Monday, August 28th, 2006 | | 10:25 am |
moving
So, I move on Wednesday. I'm feeling out of sorts. meh EDIT: So, I won't be moving on Wednesday. Or even within the week. Current Mood: blahCurrent Music: Dirty - KoRn | | Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006 | | 10:41 pm |

It's so much fun to make yourself angry, isn't it? Current Mood: twitchy | | Monday, July 10th, 2006 | | 4:17 pm |
honesty
So, here's the thing. I hate dishonesty. Lying especially. (And yes, there is a difference.) Whatever you do, if you value your friendship with me, don't be dishonest with me. Especially don't lie to me. And most especially, don't lie about me, or those I am close to. One exception to this is when it's obvious that you're lying (and I know it!) and/or when everyone is just joking around. And yes, this is a pointed comment. If you want to know if it's pointed at you, then I would suggest asking. It may not be one who would suspect it. | | Saturday, July 8th, 2006 | | 8:36 pm |
My D&D group is retarded
The title is true. They're extremely annoying. A couple months ago I went on a retreat with my (then) homechurch. I neglected to tell my group until I was halfway there, when my brother called me. Two weeks ago, Seth and Randy went on a retreat didn't tell anyone. This week, Randy and Jeff are on their way to New England. And neglected to inform people yet again. So, I'm bored and have nothing to do (yay for redundancy(and for saying the same thing over again)). Is it a bad sign when I am extremely amused that a spider has set up a web that goes across my window? | | Tuesday, July 4th, 2006 | | 1:23 pm |
set the record straight
Alright, I know that several people will be asking me about this over the next couple days. So I'm going to put it all down here so that hopefully, I won't have to go over it again, and again (and in all likelyhood, again). I'm going to begin this with saying that I'm fine. Everyone seems sure that I can't be, but I am. Last night I was mugged. That's the short version. The long version: Last night, I decided to walk home from Alden house, which is where I had gone after CT. My walk was largely inconsequential. When I had gotten a block away from my house, there was a guy there, reaching into one of his pockets. He asked me if I had a light. "No, sorry," I answered. As I passed him he grabbed my arm put something to my head, and demanded my money. "oh shit," went my brain. I took out my wallet, took out all the cash I had in it, and handed it to him. He seemed annoyed. I believe his words were something to the effect of "What the fuck is this?" He then noticed the headphones that were hanging from my neck. "What the fuck is this?" he asked. The then told me to take off my backpack. I apparently didn't do so fast enough. "Do you want to get shot?" He hit my right behind my left ear, which brought me to the ground. I'm kind of dazed at this point. He tells me to "go that way" pointing towards where I want to go. I'm still on the ground, and not all that excited about the prospect of getting up. The comes the part that confuses the hell out of me. He walks away. He walks the direction away from where he demanded I go. He gets to the end of the block, while I'm still sitting on the ground, discovering that I'm bleeding. About the time he gets to the end of the block is when I locate my glasses and stand up (without my backpack). He turns around. "What the fuck are you doing? Go!" I go. I run the fifty feet it takes to get to my house, scare the shit out of Anita coming in (I'm a bit hurried) and immediately call 911. A cop gets there about an hour and a half later to take my statement. He aplogizes for not getting there sooner, and explains that with Red, White and Boom (Columbus's fireworks show) the police force is rather swamped. I tell him what happened and what was taken. What was taken: $9 a couple notbooks, my Bible, a library book, my other book (Organic Discipleship), my CD player, and my CDs. Some other inconsequential stuff as well. Edit: Alright, now I'm even more confused. My backpack was returned today. Apparently, when I left my backpack lying there, he didn't go back to grab it. WHAT THE FUCK?! The peron's who's lawn I left it in picked it up, and came over today. I hate morons... | | Saturday, June 17th, 2006 | | 5:35 am |
It's amazing
I'm not updating when I'm upset about something. I'm not updating when I can't sleep. I'm updating just because I can. I think I walked about 6 miles or so today already. That's in less than 6 hours! And it's not because I needed to go somewhere, or because I needed to exercise. I did it just because. I completely failed in the DCI draft as usual. I dropped after I went 0-2. But at the moment I do need to get to sleep. Current Music: Pet shop boys-For your own good | | Sunday, June 4th, 2006 | | 11:58 pm |
On Graduation
To all those people who, upon thinking of graduation within the next week or so, can think "Finally!!! I'm getting out of this crappy school"... Fuck you In case you couldn't tell, I've not been in a good mood recently. | | Monday, May 1st, 2006 | | 12:27 am |
For the love...
Someone out there has a pair of needlenose pliers(plyers?) right? I have got to get myself a pair of those... Yet again, a journal entry that is written because I cannot sleep. Of course that may have something to do with the DrP that is at my side right now... I hate the fact that I don't have as much control over what I think about as I wish I did. (I used the word "I" 5 times in that sentence.) I can barely force myself to think of other things, like school (I have really got to journal more). "I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed But I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head" Don't you love how vague I am in these posts? I particularly like my posts for April 29th and March 15th. A single sentence (hardly a sentence at all), and yet, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I find it kinda funny that both those entries are, in fact, talking about the same thing. As is this one in fact (at least the third part of this entry). I annoy myself sometimes. I really annoy myself sometimes. So far, Rhapsody seems to be a rather silly book. Meeting your soulmate thirteen centuries before you're alive, and paying off the town guard to kidnap a whore for you. PFS. A really good whore, but a whore nonetheless. That part kinda reminds me of Heinlein. Current Mood: needing sleepCurrent Music: LP-HT | | Saturday, April 29th, 2006 | | 12:22 am |

What the bloody hell?
I can't sleep. yet again. And today, I have had absolutely NO caffeine. Except for the tiny amount that's in Hot chocolate. So, of course, I do the smart thing and, while I can't sleep, open up a DrP for myself. I think it has become my personal mission to get more people using the word/phrase DrP. Spelled that way too. You know you're sad when what you think about when you realize you can't sleep is the next Magic deck that you want to make. Then get annoyed, because the cards you want have yet to be released. My good GOD I'm bored and hyper... | | Thursday, April 20th, 2006 | | 10:20 pm |
I hate today
I hate this day. Not because it's been a bad day. (It's been a fairly normal day over all.) But because of what this day represents. almost always, I like what my friends like. I can at least enjoy that they enjoy it. But I hate the fact that my friends are celebrating today. Current Mood: cynical | | Wednesday, April 12th, 2006 | | 12:47 am |
BAH
I can't sleep. It's bloody spring break. I should be sleeping until noon everyday, and I can't bloody sleep!!!! "I have a spatula" I have been without DrP for about four days. Without caffeine for two. This is extremely unusual for me. But luckily, I got a couple 12 packs of DrP today. I've already drunk 3. And I think I'm gonna grab another sometime very soon. One of the scariest things I've discovered about myself is that I am literally addicted to caffeine. I really do suffer from withdrawal symptoms if I don't have caffeine for a couple days. It's also just about the only time I've ever gotten a headache. The only other memorable time I can remember getting a headache is when I got my head slammed into a concrete wall. That was an awesome night. It included my friends asking everyone they could find if they had a wrench, Hounddog's, and damn good friends. Oh! and a santa hat. That's what started the night, really. (DrP) And dammit, now I've begun to think about friends again. *twitch* Today I actually smoked an entire cigarette. I really wouldn't suggest doing that. But tomorrow I may go to a hookah bar with a couple friends. That'll be fun. and hopefully relaxing. I've definitely noticed, in the few times I've actually smoked hookahs, that they really relax you. I have no idea why this is though. And frankly it makes me slightly nervous. but oh well. (DrP) I am NOT a bloody DAFFODIL!! Hounddog's is awesomeness incarnate; edible gold. I'm also not a hippie, as much as Lea wants me to be one. But I do like hemp. That is, making necklaces out of hemp. I'm probably gonna make a couple tonight if I can't sleep sometime soon. One for myself, and one for a friend who lost their's. I am not FUCKING PERFECT!!! I have beat someone with a pointy stick to prove this. Don't make me do it to you. Jumping off of the Calumet porch was kind of exhilarating. I'm surprised I've never done that before. But then again I've never been chased around Calumet before. At least not that I can remember. (DrP) My D&D group is pretty cool. I just wish we could have more long-lasting campaigns than we do. It gets frustrating because we keep having to make new characters. Invariably the new characters are lower level. And making high level characters is pretty boring, because you don't have a reason your +3 flaming burst club has a huge bite mark in it. Hell, you probably would never even think of putting a bite mark in your +3 flaming burst club. I think I'm definitely gonna do that next time I make a character. If I ever make a character that actually uses a club. Clubs are almost completely useless. Who does use them? If I had a PHB on me, I would be able to show you about 3 weapons that are almost strictly better than the club. It's only upside is it's cost. (DrP) "I love 'er to D. Sincerely yours, XO mc." "Boys don't cry, they prefer balling and shot calling, teardrops falling. I'm jonesin' harder than Gollum. Please god say that's London calling" (DrP) "I'm a dormrat, that is a fact jack. Looking at insects, playin' with warm wax. Hitting on the honeys at the vending machines, You don't need a tray dinner, all you need is ID" "I am labrat, that is a sad fact. shinin' my test tubes, cryin' in restrooms. Dorm life blows if you've got no place to go, I call my mother everyday I say 'I wanna come home.'" (I'm sure I screwed the dormrat part up.) "Do you call my name? Do you stain my brain? Hy heart is bloody, and I can't take it any more." (DrP) Is it sad that it's taken me an hour and half to write what I have written so far? hmm... It occurs to me that the most likely person to have chased me around Calumet would probably be Christalee McMullen. Nor am I a dog. Alright, I'm just gonna post this. I've wasted enough of my time on it. (DrP) |
