Better crippled in body than corrupt in mind.

Wow everyone is getting sick. Everyone is bitching about it on their blog, even. I think the reason is clear:
"Thus did he pray, and Apollo heard his prayer. He came down furious from the summits of Olympus, with his bow and his quiver upon his shoulder, and the arrows rattled on his back with the rage that trembled within him. He sat himself down away from the ships with a face as dark as night, and his silver bow rang death as he shot his arrow in the midst of them."
The wrath of Apollo is upon us.

I feel like crap, and yet I'm still going to school.
Why? You ask.
Why, to spread the swiny and infect as many peons as possible!

I have done nothing to anger the god, so perhaps I will be spared his fury.
Now she links to another journal where she tells elaborate (and no doubt shitty) stories through The Sims. I don't think I'll be clicking on that.

Anyway, continuing on with my Christmas rant-yay list, I got covers for my iTouch, OKAAAAAAMIIIII *squee*♥*squee* and many other wonderful things.

>*squee*♥*squee*

On Okami, I can see why people love it so much. It's a beautifully illustrated gem of a game, the art in it is so unique. And there's booze. I MEAN THAT. LOTS OF BOOZE.

lolxD
Only 9th graders could be so impressed with something like that.

You people must think I'm a crackhead...But that's OK, ILY2. ;)

I think if you were you'd have come up with something better than this.

SO.
I'M BORED.
So I'll give you a cookie if you can translate these phrases ♥
They're in Deustch ♥

Oh look, a thinly veiled "fuck you I know a foreign language" post.
Well I'm real impressed.

Jesus hatte mehrere Kinder, von denen alle aßen ihr Vater.

"Jesus had several children, all of whom ate their father."
Whoop-de-shit, German. You can practically sound out the translation.

Ich hatte eine Schweinshaxe. Es war sehr lecker.

"I had a porkchop. It was very tasty."
You do go on and-- oh look, you provided the translation under each sentence. How disappointing. I just noticed because it's in teeny tiny yellow font that's crossed through, but I suppose you can read that if you don't mind your eyes melting in the process. I guess the reason she threw the translation up there is because it wouldn't he wholly impressive until you knew she knew it, but fuck you I had high school German too and I'm not fucking impressed.

Well...
November is shit. That's what I think.
I honestly, truly, really do.

And I have reasons.

Reasons I won't be reading--

PLEASE READ BEYOND THE STORY AT THE BEGINNING. Please, this is totally serious and not just me going on a rant.

It looks really long, though.

Well, someone recently blogged a Justin Bieber (sp?) music vid. I was curious, I'd never heard him before, so I clicked it.
Well, I have to admit, I don't really enjoy his music.
I didn't comment that in the blog, I decided to try and post something I felt was amusing in the video, so I said it looked like he was wearing lipstick. Before I entered it though, I read the comments before mine and saw that one girl had also stated something along the lines of 'I don't understand why people like him...'.

IMPENDING INTERNET DRAMA.
Skipping some unnecessary details (well, the entire post and indeed the entire blog is unnecessary, but whatever):

Color me surprised when her and her friend show up and begin antagonizing me as well, for stating my opinion.

Now, this isn't meant to be a blog to get guys on my side and start flaming these two girls, I posted it because of two reasons:
1) I'm really hyped about it now, for some reason.
2) I think we should start a movement. (which I'm also really hyped about right now)

Now, as you can see, that second one looks serious. Well, I'm totally serious about it.

A movement for what? All spurred on because someone was "like, rly mean" to you on the internet?

I want this movement to be about the respect from one person to another person when stating their opinion, or just respect of another in general.

Yeah good luck with that, stupid.

Maybe, to a lesser extent, we could promote correct grammar and punctuation? I'm not as gung-ho on this one, and understand that you guys may not be either.

Yeah why would you want to be gung-ho about that one? WE HAVE TO RESPECT EACH OTHERS' OPINIONS ABOUT JUSTIN BIEBER, GUYS. :(
That's much more important.
Who the fuck is Justin Bieber?
I have a simpler movement: anyone who likes Justin Bieber is a cunt and I don't want to hear their ignorant opinions in the first place.
How about that for a movement?

Okay, so I'm getting (maybe) Sims 2 on Thursday. YAY!

Current location: North Carolina.
I just want to distance myself from her a little: I'm not originally from North Carolina.
And that's it. That's her entire blog, aww.
Well, Sierra, I have to hand it to you: at least you keep a reasonable update schedule. You only update when you think you have something to say (which still somehow manages to be never, but whatever I'll cut you some slack because you're clearly of diminished capacity) instead of getting one of these fucking things and making fifteen million posts through Twatter like everyone else.

The future is trivia.

Man.
You know what I'm really tired of? Bible quotes. I've been getting that shit constantly lately due to some of the classes I've chosen. Christ, I thought I took Milton read EPIC POETRY not some convoluted church government scheme because of what Paul said to the Ephesians.
Anyway, I had a specific criteria today: no Bible quotes in blogs.
Do you know how fucking long that took?
What the fuck is the matter with you people? There have been books written since that are perfectly quotable. What, just because the Bible says it's "true" suddenly you have to follow it in exclusion to all else?
Is that really all it takes to trick you people? All I have to do is write a rambling guide to life and at the end sign "P.S.: This is true" and I'll get millions of adherents?

Today we are going to talk about WTF Am I Going To Do In The Future.

Why is that a proper noun? Are you like a medieval writer and suddenly anything that Sounds Important is a Proper Noun (see how that works)?

So I had this great plan to skip my senior year and go to Clarion, where the older sister goes, and get like credit for my senior year for it! Except two problems: 1) my school is being douches, and they also are being incredibly indecisive and 2) I really, really don't want to go to Clarion. Clarion's lame.

So you're transferring to another school for no gain on your part?
Sounds logical.

I basically have to go all next year instead of any graduating early. Because! I need financial aid. Basically, I have found my dream school. But it's expensive. Really freaking expensive

What the fuck am I reading? So you have a dream school you want to attend (who cares) and to do that you're transferring to an irrelevant school you hate-- ugh, whatever.

Mostly like, "if you can't even give a speech how will you live in nyc by yourself!!?!?!!??!"

Connected thoughts or the rambling of a fucking mental patient?
I CAN'T SPEAK KOREAN HOW CAN I POSSIBLY HOPE TO LIVE IN OHIO!?!?!?!?!?

First of all, giving a speech and living in nyc are very different things. At least, as far as I know. Secondly, I just don't know if I could do the lame graduation speech. I don't have the boring speech voice.

Talk like Virgil does from Dante's Inferno (the game). Man, I wish Virgil would follow me around in Jedi-ghost form and narrate my life.

I don't do a very good job of not saying inappriopriate things. I think I would probably insult a lot of people on accident and various other bad things.

Who gives a fuck? Also she's so incredibly racy and working blue that she later censors the word "fuck" from a picture. Good fucking job, twat. Yeah, you're real racy and insulting.

Right now there is a really nice, brand new Gym Class Heroes shirt, Draco Malfoy one, Corpse Bride one, Raven from Teen Titans ones, and Inu-Yasha one. So go buy them!

Thank you. XD

Oh, related story: on the front page of my university's website is a guy wearing a Kingdom Hearts hoodie. On one hand I can feel vaguely superior to the rest of the campus by that simple virtue alone, but them I remember to anyone looking in I'm with these chucklefucks. Shit.

3) AND. I apparently only ever get any fic written while I'm at school! XD
[---]
LOLZ if you guys be having any cheering up sort of things I'd be glad to be getting comments of happy! Cause...I don't know how I'm going to get through this year, guys, srsly. D:

Oh and there's a picture of you-- are you a boy or a girl?
Your cheeks and lips would lead me to believe girl, but your haircut and your nose are kind of masculine-- okay, trying you to imagine without the coke bottle glasses.
I'm going to guess-- girl?
Controversial call on my part. When in doubt, assume ladybro.

I also have new hair, but no pictures yet. :)

Great.
Now she wants me to fill out a questionnaire about myself. I didn't know this blog came with a homework assignment. I might have rethought my participation.

9. Do we know each other outside of LJ?

I sure hope not.

10. What's your philosophy on life?
11. Is the bottle half-full or half-empty?
12. Would you keep a secret from me if you thought it was in my best interest?

No, no and yes.

13. What is your favorite memory of us?

When I put the tags on this abortion of a post and ended it.

17. Can we get together and make a cake?

No. I only make cake with cute girls.

18. Which country is your spiritual home?

I would have said America yesterday, but after hearing the Fist of the North Star dub in Italian I'm going to say Italy.
How multicultural am I, by the way? American watching a Japanese cartoon in Italian with French subtitles.
Man there's like four languages at work there.

E) LOL at fans. Like, I know I'm all obessive fanboy, but wtf everybody?

BOY?
BOY?
WHAT?
Well we really can't make a cake now.
I went back to study your picture some more and after discovering I could make it bigger I probably would have picked boy. Should have checked to see if I could get a bigger resolution shot, silly me~
Man that blows my mind. I didn't know guys typed like that.
I know this is probably going to bother anyone reading this, but even though he's not --technically-- a chick he still acts like one, so I'm awarding full points to myself for the earlier call of "girl".
Man, I sure can call them.

Fear not the creatures of the jungle but those that lurk within your mind

Good grief, why do I have to click to read each of your entries? Why would you do that, outside of to piss me off? It's not like they're so long having them all fully expanded would be ungainly long like, say, The Scarlet Letter. Shit, most are one or two sentences at most, so what the fuck is your problem, friend?
So here we have The Core Dump, which is kind of what I wish my computer would do while I'm reading it because then I'd have a plausible excuse to not be reading it anymore. "Oh, blue screen. Better do something productive with my life now."
But, alas, I built this TITAN to avoid exactly that kind of problem, so oh well.
Although I did buy a Seagate hard drive for it because I LIKE TO LIVE ON THE EDGE.

* 20:10 @tibek Led Zeppelin or Bond? Not that they're not both good. #
* 20:16 @tibek That is so awesome. Proof positive that the world likes good music! #

Oh, that's brilliant, right? "Hey, let me take something already probably out of context (Twitter) and make it even more out of context! Hey, yeah, any reader I have will enjoy this exercise in futility!"

No browser? No USB? No floppies? No problem.

Yeah I got a fucking USB right here for you, you Texan fuck.
Oh shit he is from Texas. I was just kind of assuming.
I can smell a Texan from a mile away. They all have that distinct stink of cow.

On a more personal note, I love my new giant hard drive. I've finished installing very nearly every game I have on it, the latest one being System Shock 2, a classic game which had major influences on later works, especially Portal and, of course, Bioshock. System Shock 2, of course, is not supported by anything after Windows 98.

Of course. Can't find a work around or unofficial patch for that, can you? Just a classic game every nerd on the planet has a chubby for. I "reckon", as you Texans say, that it'd be impossible to fix this problem.

I've found various patches and workarounds for this around the interwebs, some of which actually got the game to run, but none of which prevented it from crashing after about a minute. Sad.

Core affinity, stupid. Turn all (save one) off.
Goddamn Texans.

For a solution, I've decided to go after something I tried a long time ago and never got to work with my tiny hard drive and limiting RAM: virtualization.

Or you could set core affinity, but I guess that's also a solution. Leave it to a Texan to pick the most convoluted solution available.

* 19:22 I want to put virtual machines on my virtual machines (so I can compute while I compute, etc). Is it so wrong to want a fractal computer? #

You're pushing it, motherfucker.

For about $15, I managed to pick up Audiosurf (a cute little game I've had my eye on for a while, and is well worth the $2.50 they were charging), a grab bag of old LucasArts adventure games, Beyond Good and Evil, and (the biggie) Bioshock.

That's interesting I managed to get all of those for free.
Guess I get a special non-Texan discount, huh?

Super Smash Brothers: Melee (or is it Brawl? I can never remember which is which)

Oh that's easy. Melee is the one basement-dwelling mutants try to turn into a hardcore tourneyfag game when in fact it's a fun party game, whereas Brawl is a game basement-dwelling mutants try to turn into a hardcore tourneyfag-- hey wait.

Today, I'm going to talk about profanity.

Fascinating.

A long time ago, I, being my usual inquisitive self, asked my dad just what it was exactly that made bad words bad.

Nothing. Quit being a pussy.

Like any other literary device, though, overuse will dilute the significance, and overuse of it in casual situations could lead to having nothing left when the situation demands something more.

You seriously underestimate the power of the word "fuck".

I feel like I should be leading up to some kind of final revelation here, but nope. That's about it. I don't cuss. It's weird. Here's a journal entry about it! What do you guys think about profanity?

GUESS I FORGOT TO INCLUDE A POINT! LOL!!
You fuck. You Texan fuck.

I'm going to talk for a bit about my computer. My new computer is awesome.

Oh wow, let me read about this.

My new year's resolution is 1280x800. Seriously.

Current resolution: 1920x1080.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Oh, what's this? What's this? Fifteen Dragon Age: Origin windows open at once.
Because why not?

[EDIT: Hardware installed. New hard drive space: approx. 250 gigabytes.

Oh let me stretch out in my 1.5TB of space. Sure is eeeeeeempty in here.

Current Mood: y so srs?

Current Music: Shinedown - Second Chance

So I think that's it.
Fuck Texas.
