I think I have a very light sunburn on my legs and lips...

I went to campus today around 11 to see if I could talk to the Sociology Department about a summer class I'm waiting on. Need the add code before next Wednesday so I can apply for Financial Aid. The professor for SOCI 154 still hasn't emailed me back T-T Makes me sad. I want that class! I'd get to stay on campus all day Mondays and Wednesdays for five weeks.

Anyway, going to the Department didn't really help any. Sad. So I'm just gonna wait till Sunday or Monday. If I still don't get an email, then I'll add another class (whose professor will hopefully give me an add code). If I end up with only the Statistics class I already signed up for, then I can't get aid and I'll have to pay about $1200. And I don't plan to drop that class because it seems I'd still have to pay the 1200. Plus a $20 processing fee -_-

After this whole thing, I sat at a picnic table for about an hour, reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies XD I find it funny that Mrs Schwalen recommended this book to me haha. But it's a good book -nod-

Mm, then I hung out with Shiva for the rest of the day haha. We were in her dorm for a while, doing summer class schedule stuff and other things. Talked a bit with two of her roommates (such interesting people). Then Shiva and I went outside to chill and talk in front of CVB. We migrated quite a bit around that area. From the steps to the square thingy to the grass to a bench to another bench. Also, interesting conversation topics haha.

Intriguing indeed.

Oh, we watched high school graduates in green gowns walk past us to the Event Center. I don't remember which high school uses green gowns, hm. Oh, we also watched a guy on fixed-gear bike bump into a trash can, which was definitely not firmly attached to the ground haha.

When Shiva started feeling cold (lots of wind apparently, despite all the sunshine), we went back into CVB, and interesting games ensued. I was like a lost little kid for a while T-T So mean of her.

Anyway, stuff stuff stuff... That's all I'm updating about today haha. Just thinking today was a pretty good day. Went home happy, and Mother didn't even really yell at me. Probably because the sun was still out when I came home.

So tiiired now @_@


Oh yeah, I learned of a secret today XD Quite intriguing. It's an awesome secret, and it totally made my day :P

Anyway, I don't really know what else to say. But I liked today for the most part. I got to be outside and stuffs ^_^ Couldn't ask for more. Well, I could, but I'm not gonna be greedy :P

Time to declare WAR!

No, not really. War is not the answer. As much as you want to tear someone to shreds, violence is not worthwhile.


Anyway, I just checked my SJSU account. Apparently, I have 63 units. I did not know that. I didn't know that all (27 units worth) of my APs counted toward my actual college units -_- Why didn't anyone tell me that? I was led to believe that I had only earned 36 units so far.

Damn it. I got a message on MySJSU telling me that I have to declare a major by August 1, 2010, or else I wouldn't be able to register for/keep my classes for the Fall.

I can't declare Justice Studies because their window of time for application is sometime in November. Shiva has suggested that I apply for another major and then switch to JS later on. But no, I'm not gonna do that. I'm just gonna try to stick with what I decide to declare.


So last night, I was up till 0230 or so, listing out possibly classes I'll take next semester and picking another major to declare. Fun stuff.

I've got a list of possible classes to explore. And I've also decided to declare Sociology with a concentration in Criminology. My minor will still probably be Philosophy. Soo, I'll have to declare sometime this summer. Fun.

But yeah, no Justice Studies. Sad, but I'll live. Sociology with a concentration in Criminology is somewhat close to that, I guess >_> And Criminology has definitely always been an interesting topic of discussion.


Anyway, yeah, there's that update about my academic progress or whatever.


I know I haven't been updating much about anything I've been doing lately. Sorry. I'm just on campus a lot. And when I'm home, I'm usually too tired to post an entry. Just gonna say I've been having some good, fun times with peoples. Interesting conversations. Still mostly relationship-related (or sex-related haha).

Mm, last day of classes is on Monday. I have a short presentation in Linguistics tomorrow, woo. Need to write a paper for that class too. Finals are coming so soon, ahhh. Where did this friggin' semester gooo?


Mm, and oh, I don't remember who I was talking to, but we were talking about what we're gonna do for summer. I told him I had been planning to go to SoCal for Expo but that's not going through 'cause it's wayy expensive. Disneyland, but that doesn't seem to be happening either. So sad. I want to get away from the Bay for a few days or so. So my friend told me to just go to SoCal for a few days and crash at someone's place. And, you know, that doesn't sound too bad. I just need to find someone who wouldn't mind letting me spend like a week at their place.

If you know anyone who wouldn't mind, lemme know please :) But I actually would pay them for letting me stay over. Yeah, stay at someone's place, and then go visit hella people 'cause I know a lot of people are staying around LA/Irvine for summer courses.

-sigh- I just want to go to different places this summer. Don't have to be far, but should be far away enough from home.


Blah. I should go to bed. I've been up way too lately the past couple of nights -__- Doing what? I don't remember. Not school stuff, I think.


Mm, when y'all are back in San Jose, call/text me! Looking forward to the beach this Sunday ^_^

What an uneventful Spring Break...

But filled with thoughtful contemplation. Yay, redundancy.


Haven't done much of interest all week ):

Haven't gone anywhere outside of the house unless I had to drive Mother or Brother somewhere.

Haven't gotten started on my essays. I was going to start today, but Mother had me drive her to Walgreen's so that we could H1N1 shots -__- Then drive to other places. When we got home, I didn't feel like doing anything anymore.

I ended up watching "The Invention of Lying." Awesome movie. 8/10. I love Ricky Gervais' movies, even if he plays the same kinda character in all of them :P The saddest scene in this movie was my favorite XP I cried with him.

Anyway, the movie makes me wonder how the world would be if everyone always told the truth. Never lie. Don't know how to lie. That would be interesting. According to the movie, you can't lie by omission either. That's how I usually lie XP So hm, scary. Sad, isn't it? Complete honesty is scary.

Makes me think some things. Hm. I need to ask questions. But I suppose it's gonna make people look at me like O_o Oh well.

I wonder how difficult it will be to tell people what I've lied to them about...


Oh, Wednesday, I finally decided on my major/minor. Major in Justice Studies and minor in Philosophy. You think that will work out for me? I'm not sure. Then again, I'm never sure about anything XP Not my education, my love life, not my possibilities, nothing hahaha..

But yeah, Justice Studies and Philosophy. I was originally thinking of majoring in Philosophy, but I don't know what I would do with that. Don't think Mother would be too happy with that either. Though, I'm sure she won't be happy with Justice Studies either. She still wants me to go into Nursing. But I won't because I don't want to be around sick people >_>

So JS, yeah. I've always liked law and the legal system in some way or another. Maybe because Brother has had a few run-ins with the system since he was in high school :P

Philosophy, well, you know me and my philosophical talks :P haha jk. I dunno, I'm not sure how much I'll like it after a couple of courses :P Structure, you know. I don't like structure all that much.

Haha I like routine, but I dislike structure. Does that even make sense? I dunno.

Anyway, seriously, what do you think? 'Cause I'm not sure what I should think of my choice (haha so much for making decisive decisions).


So really, I haven't done anything really interesting all week. So sad. Haven't even seen Robert yet D: Maybe we'll have to put it off till summer XP Tamales and lessons, hm. Would go tomorrow or on the weekend, but it seems Robert will be preoccupied with tennis and WonderCon.


Hmm, some other thing on my mind... Phone conversations... You already know. I say it so often. I hate talking on the phone. Or strongly dislike it. I don't really know why. I just don't like it. The longest conversation I've ever had on the phone with someone (other than customer service, which has lasted more than two hours) was Ryan T back in like senior year of high school. An hour and a half. Why? Because I had said on Myspace or Facebook that I wanted to talk to someone and he decided to call me from SD. That was really the only talk-just-to-talk phone conversation I had ever had.

The second longest phone conversation I had was with Kat the summer before senior year. Twenty minutes talking about what classes she should take haha. Third longest phone conversation was the eight-minute one I had with Shiva last week.

Yeah, "long" phone conversations happen so rarely to me that I can remember with whom I have had them so far. Typically, my phone calls don't last any more than four minutes. And those are always for directions and invitations. But now, most people just text me 'cause they know I don't like talking on the phone all that much. Really, does anyone call me just to talk? Do people do that? I don't XP

So don't expect me to call you unless I have to. Like if you don't have unlimited texting. I especially do not call for casual conversation. I'm sad like that, I know. Every time I've had a casual phone conversation with you, it was always you who called me, yeah? Yeah. Mother and Brother do that too. I never call them unless I needed a ride or an answer to a question.

If I ever call you just to talk, you'll know something's up, yeah?

Haha I wonder sometimes why I have a cell phone :P And then I remember all those times I was forgotten on campus in middle and high school and I had to walk home for an hour and a half or longer. Yeah, fond memories. Cell phone, necessary and essential? Probably. Sadly.


Hm, lately, my dreams have been... weird... Not exactly recurring. Happen like every other day. Always a different setting. But pretty much the same or similar things happening. Makes me wonder if I'm obsessing so much when I'm conscious that it also haunts me in my sleep.

My sleep is so off, but my dreams are quite consistent @_@ well, every other day (I've lost track of the days on which they've occurred). The dreams I have in between are just the usual, seemingly irrelevant, sometimes whacked-out ones. You know, surprisingly, the somewhat recurring ones are sooo not crazy. Well, I suppose that would depend on how you look at them, if you knew what they were.

I dunno. They're "normal," as in nothing crazy like murder or naked people are in it haha. Different people show up and different things occur, but the main focus(?) of the dreams is always the same. Just always mellow(?). Comforting, even. But also disheartening in a way. Leave me wanting more, wanting real. Make me feel kinda pathetic and disappointed in myself when I wake up haha.


Aiyah, I'm so tired. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through college with such a low level of energy haha.

What do you think will motivate me to do better, try harder? To just try? 'Cause I just don't know right now.

Wanting but not trying. Needing but not asking...

I think my sleep-deprived brain is losing sense tonight haha. Not thinking straight anymore. Never thinking straight.

Feeling... numb. My house is kinda cold. It's 49 degrees. Wow, and all I'm wearing are PJ bottoms and a t-shirt. Time to go cuddle up with my blanket and stuffed dog XP

OMG! What am I going to major in?!

So I've been spending the past two days reading about different majors again. I really wanna know by the end of this semester. Preferably within the next two or so weeks, since my Spring registration starts on Nov 20 at 17h20. Ahhh...

I don't know which classes I'm gonna take next semester. For sure, I'm taking Asian American Studies 33B. Might take French 1A (want to revive my dying French). Could continue taking lower divisions in the hopes of finding a class I really enjoy. But it doesn't seem likely.

Anyway, I can think of what I might want to minor in:
Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, or English (Creative Writing or Professional & Technical Writing). Might even double minor. And no, I don't want to major in any of these. They're interesting, but they don't intrigue me that much. And I know, I said I don't really like English (I could almost say I abhor it). But as a minor, it wouldn't be too bad, I think.

As for majors,
I've crossed Industrial Design off the list. I'm considering some kind of Engineering, either General or Mechanical. Maybe Justice Studies or Forensic Science with a concentration in Biology because I have always been interested in the legal/police system. I don't know why, but people keep encouraging me to go into Hospitality. Maybe because I'm nice and people generally like me. haha I don't know. Kinesiology has also been suggested, as well as Library and Information Science.

Just listing/adding:
General Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Justice Studies
Forensic Science w/ concentration in Biology
Hospitality, Recreation, and Tourism Management
Kinesiology
Library and Information Science
Sociology w/concentration in Criminology
Linguistics
Global Studies
French

These all seem interesting enough. I just don't know if I'll be dedicated enough. Do you have any opinion as to what I should choose?

Well, I'm gonna save this for the weekend when I might have more time to evaluate the possibilities.

Back to homework!

Saturday, October 17, 2009

Well, that's two for two so far.

Mother found my ring this morning. On the driveway. Must have fallen out/off when I was pulling off the car cover on the Avalon.

I've lost the ring twice. The first time, I lost it in the garage of one of the other houses I lived in. Mother found it two days later. This time, she found it five days later. See a pattern, don't you? I lose the ring; Mother finds the ring. Yeaah.

I'm glad she found it. I really like this ring. I'll try not to lose it again. I'm also glad because Mother was happier after she found it. That was like the best mood she has been in all week.

And my week started off badly with the ring too. So yay for a happy ending, at least for the ring.


Anyway, in hockey, the class started scrimmaging. I didn't participate of course. I can't go as fast as everyone else. And it seems that every time I get back on the ice (after a week), I always forget how to balance myself at first, and then slowly I get used to being on the ice again.

So before the scrimmage, I thought I had to get off the ice. But when scrimmage started and Mike didn't say anything to me, I stayed on the ice. I just kept skating back and forth from one end of the rink to the other. Tried to stay out of the way of the players. That's quite difficult, but I managed to avoid them most of the time. Only twice did I get too close to the puck. But hey, I'm just another person they have to get around. Added obstacle to a difficult game, so I'm contributing :P

At one point, I tripped and slid across the ice on my ass. One of the girls in the scrimmage tripped or something and started sliding toward me, blades first. That was hella scary. I thought I was going to be sliced or something. But she managed to steer, and I managed to slow down enough so that her skates hit my skates. Later, when I talked to her, she said that she thought she was going to crush me (she's bigger than me, as are most adults). But I would have been fine with that. I've been crushed and/or tackled by big guys before. I've always been fine. Seriously, it was just her skates that scared the hell outta me haha.

At another point, I was picking up hella speed. I was happy. I thought, "Hey, I'm finally not losing my balance." Who knew thinking could be such a big distraction to me? Because that's when I lost my balance and fell backwards on my butt. I don't know what happened, but that was a really hard fall. My spine started to hurt, my legs became wobbly, and my head kept tipping over to the side like I was drunk haha. I couldn't get back up. Every time I tried to kneel, I fell over. So I waited, put my head down on the ice for a bit to keep the rink from spinning. Then Mike came over and asked if I was all right because I usually get back up immediately after a fall. I said I was all right and forced myself back up. After that, I couldn't pick up speed anymore. I don't know why. My legs wouldn't pump as fast anymore. If I quickened up my pace, my legs would get wobbly. Could be a physiological/psychological thing.

And I'm glad to know my instructor pays attention to me, even though I don't keep up with the rest of the class. I'm not joking. It makes me happy because that means he's not one of those coaches/instructors who think like "Are you kidding me? This kid doesn't know how to skate, and they're still here?!" I've met people like that. They don't make me feel good about myself haha. Mike is cool :)

I stayed on the ice for a while. I think that's the longest I've ever been on the ice at any one time. I was the last one to leave the girls' locker room, which meant I was pretty much the last person to put her bag away in the bag room. Being last means that you have to look a eight-foot high wall of bags and wonder how the hell you're gonna toss your bag on top. I didn't. I just threw it behind the door haha. No way could I throw my heavy bag that high haha.


Hmm, I can't believe half the semester is already over. Feels like we only started school like three weeks ago. Now, we basically have eight weeks left. Spring '10 class listings come out on my birthday. Registration starts like a week later, though I will probably have to wait an extra two weeks. Fun. I should really consider declaring a major soon. But I still don't really know what I like. If I don't declare, I don't know what classes I'm gonna take next semester, aside from AAS 33B. Even if I passed the WST (I'll find out in 1-3 weeks), I still won't be able to take the SJSU Studies courses because I don't have upper division standing. So either I just take random GE classes or I declare and take the required GE classes, while risking dislike of my major. Mm...


Anyway, yesterday, after hockey, I went to Tapioca Express to buy drinks for Brother. But when I called him to get the order, he didn't pick up. So I went home to shower. Brother called. I showered first and then went back to Tapioca. Ordered the drinks. One wrong drink. Ordered the right one. I kept the incorrect drink for myself. Drove to Gumbo Jumbo, dropped off the drinks, and drove to SJSU.

Met up with Tatiana. Gave her the drink and a cracker (Mother made me bring crackers since I didn't eat much). Called Kim Ly from our dance class since she wanted to see us practice. She was already in a dance room in the Sport Center with her partner. Met Dan, Tatiana's friend. Went to her dorm to get her laptop and then headed to the dance room.

Practiced. Helped Kim. Practiced some more. T and I were working out the kinks in our dance routine. Tried to make it flow more smoothly. Our final choreo was finished, it was smooth, and it was under a minute. We jumped with joy. More like we bounced around the room, all giddy and everything haha. I usually don't get giddy, but this is the first time I've ever helped make a dance routine for anything haha. I felt accomplished. And also helping Kim made me feel good too. Helping people helps me be happy haha.

But yeah, now, my partner and I have a music selection, a dance routine, and a feeling of accomplishment that will be complete when we blow away our audience during the midterm :D


Hmm, so Kim and Tatiana told me I should be a Kinesiology major. Apparently, I'm just really talented haha. Jk. I dunno. I've considered Kinesiology as a major, but I'm not sure where I would go with it. Could go into sports medicine. We'll see what happens. I still have another semester to decide. Though, I really wanna decide by the end of this semester. It would be nice to finally stop saying, "I'm undeclared," and being met with disappointed looks.


Aaanyway, I need to get some homework done. Or maybe watch a movie. Oh, I watched "I Love You, Man" and "Lust, Caution" last night. ILYM, hilarious in a weird way haha, and I love Paul Rudd. "I'm slappin' the be-ass, mon." XD "Lust" was uhh interesting to say the least. I remember Maggie telling me about this movie a while ago. I liked the story. The ending made me sad. Tony Leung was very convincing. And the sex scenes were plentiful and kinda O_O eek, scary. I felt like I was watching softcore porn during those scenes. But the story was pretty intricate and very dramatic.

And wow, he really did lick her armpit hair hahaha XP

Do animals have rights?

Better question: Do nonhuman animals have the same rights as humans?

Ideally, I would say yes and provide you with great evidence to back up my point. But I'm not ideal. Read Peter Singer's arguments, good stuff.

I like to think nonhuman animals are equal to humans. After all, humans are animals too. We're just too arrogant to think that we're on the same level as other animals :P

Singer says that humans are specieists (much like racist). I agree. Humans exalt human beings, look down on other animals. Why? Because we have more "control," rationale, and opposable thumbs.

If you had to choose between saving a dog and saving another human being, who would you save? No, you can't save both. Apparently, we would save the human because we would always place a higher value on the person's life rather than the dog's.

I don't think it's that simple. I think it's situational. I mean, would you rather save a drug dealer or a see-eye dog? Of course, if you didn't know anything about either, you probably would save the human. You're more "connected" to the human being. But that's biased. Then again, we're all biased.

On a similar note, eating meat is eating flesh, as Prof Giddings so puts it. It's true. If you eat meat, you are eating flesh, mainly muscles. That sounds disgusting, doesn't it?

If you eat animals, you basically take away their right to life. You cannot say that animals do not have a right to life. If they're alive, they pretty much have that right.

But we're all a part of the food chain. So maybe that right is conditional. But wouldn't that mean our (human) right to life is also conditional? We are a part of the food chain as well. Though, I've heard we're not all that tasty. Of course, I've never asked a human cannibal. Maybe I will one day.

Anyway, if we are a part of the food chain and we eat other animals, why do we get so bothered when we hear of humans being eaten? It's a part of nature, yeah? Just accept it. But no, instead, we euthanize the "offender." Self-preservation, I guess.

Mm, well, that's all I'm gonna say about that :P


So, today, I chilled with Harrison C for a little bit in the MLK library. Harrison is a guy I met on the light rail last Tuesday, though apparently I signed his yearbook when we were still at Bernal. It was weird. I didn't remember his face, but I kinda recognized his name.
The guy remembered me when he saw me on the light rail haha. Amy and Christine were there to witness this scene.

Since we met last week, we've been messaging each other on Facebook, but yeah we chilled today haha. Strange. I usually don't hang out with people I don't know. Last time I really did that was the summer before sophomore year, meeting Rose and the guys.

Anyway, we had an interesting/strange conversation in the library before I went to the QTIP meeting. The guy is really random, quirky, cool. He wants to play on the Monopoly board downtown. I think I said I would play with him haha. Just a random guy, but I feel like this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship haha. I usually don't make friends so randomly, but it's nice, a change from the routine.


Hmm, QTIP meeting. Announcements about different events: Coming Out Week, Ally Games and Workshop, Legacy Week, Safe and Green Halloween (@ Fisher Middle School), Wiggsy Silverstein Scholarship, Rocky Horror, Students for Quality Education stuff, CATT. That's all I can remember. Doesn't really mean much to you, but oh well, you can google this stuff haha.

Mm, what else? Oh, Christina D is gonna give me a ride to Game Night :D Yay, I don't have to waste gas and shit haha. Seriously, the Avalon is starting to have a lot of problems. Man, right when I get the car. Not that it matters much, since Mother won't let me have the car to myself.


Hmm, still have four midterms left. Phil midterm next week. Yay. Also, dance midterm pushed back two weeks to the 28th, whew.


Ahh, don't you just love have my entries aren't usually organized well? haha. And damn, I'm falling behind on homework again D: I'm such a terrible student.

Oh, I've been thinking about majors too. Industrial Design is at the top of the very short list for now. I don't really know what I wanna do, but ID seems interesting enough. Not sure I can get the aesthetic part down though. Other possibilities: criminology, criminal justice, forensic science with a concentration in biology, architecture. Maybe library sciences :D haha. I also kinda like the idea of becoming an EMT or paramedic.

All interesting stuff, I just don't know if I can stick with school long enough to get a suitable degree.

And no, I'm definitely not considering English haha. No matter how much people tell me I should. I just don't like it.


In totally unrelated and unimportant news, today, I found out that John and Angela H are dating haha. That's surprising because I didn't think they knew each other very well.

But anyway, I'm done now.

Oh, btw, you should listen to Deadmau5 if you like house music. For now, I'm loving "Creep." Brother's favorite is "Alone with You." Yeah, a lil random, I know, but I'm listening to his music right now, and it's just that damn good.

Major?

So last night, I forgot to update about something haha. Surprise, surprise.

Yesterday, in English, everyone got their first out-of-class essays back. I didn't. Mine wasn't done in time. Dang, why does that always happen to me?

Anyway, so I came by Prof Williams' office a lil later to pick it up. And since I was the only one whose paper she didn't finish grading, she gave a lil one-on-one about my essay. When I was about to leave, she asked me what I was majoring in, and I said Undeclared. Then she suggested that I major in English. I just smiled and shook my head. I have never considered English to be a possible major for me. I don't really like English haha.

I have a knack for writing? No waayyy. I don't like to write. At least not formally. Academically. Most of the time in school, I have to write about things that I don't care for. The rest of the time, even if it is something I do care about, I have to write better than I'm used to. I honestly don't care to improve my writing. I'm happy with the way it is.

Writing, I want to keep as recreational and free as possible. School and I just don't mix in my pot. School has drained the fun out of a lot of things for me. I don't want my written self-expression to lose its comfort. School made me hate math. Ok, well, I don't hate it, but I don't love it as much as I used to. Sometimes I don't think I even like it much at all anymore.

Anyway, when I walking to the light rail stop, I was thinking, "Me, an English major? No way. No. Never would have believed that. Noo." Then when I was home, I remembered I should be open-minded to the possibilities. Ahh.

Possibilities. But I've never considered English a possibility. I never liked English. I mean, I've been pretty good at everything related to the English language (except vocab) throughout my primary education years. And I even improved a lot on my vocabulary in the 6th grade and all. And my scores on the SAT9's or CAT6's, whatever they're called now, have been pretty high. Proficient or Advanced. I had been consistent with those. But they meant nothing to me.

Hmm, what would I do with an English major anyway? Or a minor? English seems like a social personality's major. I'm not social. As much as I want to be, I know I'm not. I like to keep away from most people. But then I also want to be around people.

Gahh, I'm such a confusing person. Confusion will be the bane of my existence -__-

You know, I just like blogging because I don't need a form, a structure, or anything important like those. Blogging can be all fluff, and it wouldn't matter. And people don't read my blog very often if at all. (I seriously don't know if anyone reads this)

A silent audience. I like that. Whether it be ghosts or real readers. I'm not afraid to put down what's on my mind.

Hah, somehow I managed to go from talking about English major to English writing to blogging. I love my tangents oh so much haha. But yeah, English major. I don't know. I don't know what people see in my writing. I don't see anything, except for the words I put down and the thoughts that were attached to them.

Write as I speak or think. That's the only way I go. Even for my essays. That's why I always worry about how they flow. No transitions. I always put those in later.

I just don't want to fit into a writing mold. I like my disconnected, albeit difficult-to-follow style. It's how I write, how I think. It's just, I write for me. I don't write for another audience, even if there may be one. I think that's the hardest part about writing an English paper for me. I don't want to write for another audience. Why should I care to write for them? I don't want to change people's minds. I might want them to listen to my opinion, but that's it.

Why do things have to get so complicated with explanations and reasoning and all that? Yeah, sure, they're good for arguments. But I don't want to argue. I would much rather listen to people and make my own judgments. Keep 'em to myself. The rest of the world doesn't need to know what I think, what one person thinks.

Oh, such negative thinking. Hah, I should just go back to updating about my daily routines XP
