memes..... ^^;
A. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself. B. Tag seven people to do the same. C. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag "whoever wants to do it". 1. I like being clean.. sooo utterly clean. And amazingly, I've been moving from 'pretty boy' clean to natural clean! I just got some new burt's bees soap which smells OHHH soo good. Orange Spice (w/ cinammon) FTW! I also like all my belongings to be clean and orderly. You wouldn't have known it looking at my room for the last quarter and all of this quarter, but now that it is neat, I feel much more at peace, and able to concentrate. It's amazing. 2. I have this habit of typing really fast... I'm not sure if it's a good thing because I can beat everyone I know when IMing, or a bad thing because it painfully shows my ex-addiction to text games which forced me to type at 140+ WPM (no joke, that's what I'm typing right now). I look at it under both lights... it's a blessing and a curse. 3. Gamesss. I love a good game, and will always play one. I have a nintendo DS for those times when I can't be at my computer, and an iPod Touch to play accelerometer games. yayz! 4. I'm pescatarian (vegetarian who eats fish) so that's yayz0rz as well. I luffs my fruit and veggies (and especially my Naked (tm)!!!) 5. Desptie all of this clean orderliness, and my vegetarian habits, I'm still overweight! Such a weird fact about me. I guess it's because I sit in front of my computer way too much doing things like this, but fie on the world! I'm a programmer so get over it! 6. Spiders scare the shit out of me.. and if for some reason they don't, I'm usually merciful and let them outside. My brother on the other hand is scared shitless and will kill them on sight. Arachnids beware! 7. Tea is my favorite beverage in the world. It's OH so amazing. Yay tea. Need I say more about that? I hath tagged ye following... do reply hastily or the wrath of the lord shall be brought down upon you! ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) __bethel__, adrenalineburn, elenbarathi, livi_smiff, lobstermage, multiplyxbutton, porcelainart | | Wednesday, May 16th, 2007 | | 1:32 pm |
My Senior Project at my school is to build a computer and teach myself to program in java... I got the computer all built, and while I'm still figuring things out about it, it is running excellently. I paid a low price for prime parts (if you're interested ask me, i'll tell you what they are) and got it all working in a couple hours. First I installed Linux... after that was finished, I installed Windows. Everything was working fine, and then I hooked up to the internet without putting up my firewall, or without downloading any sort of antivirus or adware/spyware remover. Needless to say I tried downloading something that was questionable in content, and once I did I instantly regretted it... I all of a sudden recieved at least 10 trojan horses (viscious viruses for those who don't know) and a couple adware and spyware programs. Windows instantly went 'ack!' and i panicked... to make a long story short I eventually got AVG and though I had fixed it all up. When I unhooked it fromt he internet and brought it back to my room, i turned it on and my onboard HD Audio wasn't able to start. I panicked again, spent hours worrying and trying to fix it. This morning I got up and started remembering a conversation I had had with a good friend and an intellectual a few days ago about how one of his friends was able to make an elevator work that hadn't worked for 10 years just be correcting his though about it. I was interested to see if this worked, so I sat down and started acknowledging that it's a computer and that it can't have a mind of its own. I had been planning to reformat windows again to see if that would work, and so I did, and voila! Audio worked excellently! Didn't have to give it another thought. So I'm pretty grateful for that, because now I can procrastinate my programming in sound! Woot! | | Friday, May 11th, 2007 | | 2:55 pm |
ZOMG its OVER! w00t!
So. Two weeks ago I finished high school... feels damn good. Just took my AP Stats test on Tuesday.. it seemed like it went well which usually isn't a good sign. My Chem AP test is next tuesday.. after that I'll be free for the summer and its off to europe! But off to Cali first... anyway. I'm working on my may project right now.. it's going very well... especially thanks to dragon roommate who helped me find all my parts for my computer. I put it all together, connected it all up and bam, it worked. Windows on it, configuring linux for dual boot, then it's off to programming for the rest of the month. I wish my project was as exciting as said roommates, but oh well... not particularly smart enough. :p. So, for all of your records, here are my summer plans. I'll be home in PT by June 4 or 5... will be leaving on the 21st. If any of you old town friends wanna hang out, let me know, that's really my only time free for almost the whole summer. Next, June 21st (i think) i'm heading down to Cali to visit with my Uncle, and soak in the sun for about 10 days... that'll be awesome. Any of you crazy friends of mine in So. Cal. that wanna see me, I'll be in Oxnard Shores or hiking(if anyone wants to come hike, I could try to arrange that). After 10 days is up, I'm getting on a plane out of LAX to go to Heathrow! Woot first time in Europe! I'll be in London those first days for the day I arrive, that night, and half the next day... I'll be back in London later, so if anyone wants to see me that is there, let me know! After London, get on the train and take a ride over to Wales where I will be staying for 5 or 6 days with some relative. We'll be hiking extensively and pretending we know how to speak Welsh. Heading up to a hidden teahouse in the mountains. I'll gladly meet anyone there! :) After Wales we jump on the train again and head up to Scotland to Edinburgh Castle for a couple days, to soak in my heritage :). After that, I'll be back down in London for a couple days, getting ready to leave, and making the roads to the historic locations. After that I'll be on the plane again, and in Cali for a couple more days, then I'll be flying back to PT. I'm not sure when I have to leave for school, but it'll have to be some time early August probably, so that's the rest of my time in PT. I'll be having a guest from school over for a week hopefully, so keep that in mind, but you guys are welcome to visit while he's here! More later. Anyway, I have to go to work and shower.. missed the glorious water for three days and I smell kinda really bad... responsibility goes away when you don't have any time restrictions. Later!

The Sum of my Day
My March 17, 2007 can be summed up in this simple smile, and this shocking quote -- "And we commend Justine Marie Woyshnis to your care Lord, and your everlasting guidance."  All day, she has been on my mind. Sorry, this is kind of hard to write... I know it doesn't seem that way because you'll read this all at once. This picture is of one of my good friends, Justine Woyshnis. She passed about two weeks ago at the young age of 19. I can't stop questioning why it happened. The thing I feel worse about is that I hadn't talked to her in a couple years. I just got back from her memorial service, and I got all choked up... and now it's happening again. I told myself that I would be strong for those who needed me... but a person has to have a time to mourn. This picture means so much to me, I cannot even say. Rest in Peace, Justine. I love you, and so does everyone. My heart will be with you forever. | | Sunday, March 4th, 2007 | | 8:03 pm |
Sickness sucks
For some reason I have the urge to go to Japan right now. I just really want to be over there, eating their food, and immersing myself in their culture. So the past couple days I've been pretty sick, it started with just a little cough that I got from one of my friends while he was sick, because i was helping take care of him while he was sick, and it moved on to a fever, headache, hard cough, and disgustingness. Saturday morning I woke up feeling worse than I had the day before, but taking it all in stride, just spent the day on the computer. Then my friend Matt invited previously mentioned friend, and me, over to his house, and we indulged in about 8 hours of playing System Shock 2, and watching Bioshock trailers (creeeeepy!!) Well we went to taco bell before the gaming began, and had some good dinner that was really bad for us, but still awesomely good. We got back, did our gaming, and then at 1130 i started feeling even worse, and decided I needed a break, and that I should try to get some sleep. So we made some Orange Spice tea (favorite tea ever besides white blueberry) and matt spent some time with his girlfriend which was cool. Well after his gf left, my friend and matt played company of heroes, which was amazing apparently, but I was out of it on matt's bed, trying not to disease it with my long series of coughs. After a lot of in and out sleeping for me, everyone decided to hit the sack at about 3 in the morning, and we all fell asleep. Well, turns out, this was my unlucky night: I woke up this morning (all three of us shared matt's bed cause we're cool like that) got up, put my pants on, and sat in matt's desk chair. The next thing I remember is Matt helping me up from the floor, which I've apparently just face planted into, and putting me back in the chair after giving a very manly hug and a 'dude, you're ok'. I sat down, and he gave me my half finished bottle of propel. My face was void of blood, and my whole body was freezing, as well as cold sweated and very dizzy. I drank some water, and that didn't really help too much, but it kind of did. I realized that I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday afternoon at taco bell, so I figured that maybe I would feel better if I ate something (note that I was feeling very, very sick, and felt like dieing would be a less painful avenue) so I ate some poptarts and the blood instantly returned to my head and face, and I warmed up a little. After a while I was ok, but I wanted to go down to campus house, the nursing facility on campus. This simple want was denied because of the stupidity that comes with being a Christian Scientist. I called the dorm and talked to the dean of boys and he said that he wanted me to go to church (even though I could easily pass out again while I was there) I told him that I needed to go to campus house very badly, but he wouldn't let me, and he forced Charles (my friend) and me to have matt drive us back so that he could have his power over us again. He forced me to church and I spent the whole time trying to not to pass out and/or puke. It was very miserable, and I didn't really get any of the message of the class, which was the intent of going from the dean's standpoint, and I'm pretty sure that I took away from the class learning as well. Now I feel a little better, the weather was nice today and I went for a walk, and found that if I'm moving around, I feel better than if I am laying down, so I continued walking for a while. A little later into the day I noticed that my face was kinda messed up from dragging my face across the carpet when I passed out, having a bruise on my jaw and a couple rugburns on my forehead and side of my head. I ate more food, and am currently feeling better, although very tired. On a completely different note, my friend Charlotte got dismissed from school, and was sent home. She's done a lot of shit, and she wanted to go home, but she was one of the only reasons i wanted to stay here. Call me crazy and infatuated, but I love her a lot, and she had just started to reciprocate the feelings. Looking back on it though, I think its better that she goes home, because she wants to, she's freer, and she's not around her boyfriend, who is a puny little 14 year old (she's 18) who none of her friends really felt like she should be dating until recently when they all smoked together (one of the reasons she is gone). In any case she's gone, and I miss her horribly, and the worse hasn't even set in, because I haven't been to work (tomorrow) yet, where she works too... it's going to be totally different than it used to with her not around because she used to take command of all the little kids we watch. DAMN i miss her so much :'(. Now I have to write on philosophy for my english class because we are reading 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' bleh. I'm off to do that. Been a very sucky weekend. Peace.

life and relationships
yeah. that's right. relationships. they suck. so all the posts below about girls that I like are now despised by me, simply because of how gay this school is. First of all, I'm glad I'm not with my ex anymore, and i'm even more glad she's dating a black guy so that I don't have to worry about her calling me anymore. the one i talked about a long time ago is still the person i like most, but she's dating a freshman, and not likely to stop soon. Plus she is most likely leaving school. Pretty much life is sucking right now. There is a german girl that i'm interested in, and i think she's interested in me, but there is no occasion to pursue anything, so I will hold back for now. There is also a really sweet, pretty, and amazing canadian here that I wish I would have the guts to become a better friend to, but I'm afraid that my corrupted personality and outlook on life will fuck her up, and that is definitely not what I want. anyway. I wanted to through my thoughts out on paper.. well digital oblivion, but same thing I guess, and I did. Peace.

Economics Report
So here, after 5 hours of slaving and researching, is the wicked paper of mine, about economics, and Hasbro Inc. No feedback needed, read at your own risk. It is at least 6 pages in MS Word. DEATH. Now to write about Christine Gregoire. JOY! ( Economics Company Report ) | | 6:42 pm |
Band Wagon
[rant] You wanna know what grinds my gears? The fact that if anyone does something cool, or exciting, and they live in a dormlike setting, they will find that people have jumped on the bandwagon just to be cool, and taken on the accessories of such 'cool things' as their own. It pisses me off, because I am one of the originals. And these dumbass christian spoiled conservative dickweeds are poseurs who try to make themselves like me, and then they insult me. FUCK YOU.

The Soundtrack of MY life
The soundtrack of my life. Stolen from Nate! Here's how it works. 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc) 2. Put it on shuffle 3. Press Play 4. For every question, type the song that's playing; for extra cool points, add descriptions. 5. When you go to a new question, press the next button 6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool... 7. When you're finished tag some other people to do it!

Life is a little different now
I thought it was cold last two times I posted. Well now that it is december, well, lets just say my hair froze on the way up to dinner... So lots of things are different now. The same femme, Diana, repealed her decision after senior retreat November 11, and we have been dating for 3 weeks yesterday, so thats an interesting twist to life. Right now I'm also writing my senior speech, a requirement for all seniors, and I chose to write about my passed father, which is anything but easy, because i'm pouring everything i've got into it. Luckily for my teacher its going to be one of those 'i feel sorry for you and you made me cry, so I will give you 100 percent' which i have no complaints with. I'm also working on an AP Statistics project which is kicking me in the ass. We have to create a game of probability and figure out all this shit for it, and it's realllllly hard, plus i have to simulate it 100 times, and I'm trying to program my calculator to do that, but failing miserably. it's a good thing i have till monday, or i'd be screwed. (the original due date was tomorrow, but the teacher moved it farther. For all of you WA folk who know me personally i'll be back in-state on Dec. 14, but won't be alive again until the 15th (damn long flight with a stop over in chicago). So I hope to see you all, especially the few of you who I consider my extreme best friends. Anyway, I'll get back to you as soon as I remember, and when this damn speech isn't so hard to write, and when my Stats project isn't kicking me in the ass, and when the weather is not cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey........yeah. on that note.

Winter Days at the Top of the World
The sun peeks over the horizon for a couple minutes, and then retires again beneath the horizon. The sun peeked over the horizon for me this evening, only for a second. I watched Boondock Saints with an old roommate and had a good time. Now is the time that I go to bed, curl up in the fetal position, and cry myself to sleep. Tomorrow I go to the Fed (federal reserve bank) and get shredded money, and then lunch at St. Louis Bread Co. (Panera's everywhere else). Life is gay. | | 7:58 pm |
Global Cooling
I sit down in the computer lab of my dorm, and log in to the machine in front of me. My belly and stomach are sore and pained from PE today. I don't know exactly what did it. I didn't do anything different. I just feel different. Perhaps it was a sense of dread for what was to come. Over the course of my computer time I get 5 calls, only three of which I cared to recieve, but I picked them all up out of courtesy. I'm not an ass to most people. It's five o'clock, intramurals is over for my friends, and one particular femme comes walking through the boy's dorm. I call to her, and she comes over. We talk for a couple minutes, and then she spurts out that she has decided who she wants to be with, between me and a guy back home. Her face lights up as she says, "I chose to be with him." I drop my head down a little, and avoid her joyous face. "That's great. I'm happy for you." I walk back into the computer lab, and sit down again. She just acts like nothing has happened. After two weeks, she defaulted to the answer I figured she would. After a while she leaves, and I decide its time to walk up to dinner. As I walk outside the world becomes colder around me, and I pull my fleece up closer to my body. Somehow though, the air is easier to breathe. I hang my head, console my crying belly, and go eat dinner. Current Mood: nauseatedCurrent Music: Phantom of the Opera in my Head | | Thursday, October 12th, 2006 | | 2:06 pm |
I don't know what to do...
I'm writing here because I can't sort out what i'm thinking about in my head, I need somewhere else to lay it out. One of my good female friends told me last week that she had liked me for a year and a half (I actually accidentally brought up the topic). That was a huge surprise to me. My mom and Uncle were in town the next weekend, and her mom was coming as well, so I didn't get much time to think about it. Last sunday, when the parents were thankfully occupied we ended up kissing (yes, my first time, oh boy...). I knew the whole time that she had a guy back home (we are both from Seattle) who she was 'taking it slow with', so over the course of the last couple days until now I have been toning it down because she is talking about making a choice. I can't focus on school for the life of me, hell I'm writing this during English class... I'm always just thinking about her, but I know that she has to choose, and she is having a hell of a time choosing, because she apparently loves both of us. I've already sorted out in my head why I'm the better choice, and why he's the better choice, and which is the better better choice, so I'm not going to write it down here. Needless to say most of my friends and adult guardians agree that I am the better choice, yet she is still having to take a week or so to decide. This is killing me, because I hate being led on, and deep down I keep thinking she isn't going to choose me, or that she's going to call him, hear his voice, and then want to be with him. So last night and the night before and all day yesterday I was talking with her and told her that she should forget about me, I'm fine, and that she should be with him, which is true. I'm used to being single, have been my whole life, so its no change, and he wouldn't necessarily understand because they are long distance, and she wouldn't be able to convey what she means to him. I keep telling her to give up on me, and then I hang up the phone, but the fact that we got close enough to each other on sunday that we were kissing without reserve signals to me that its something I should keep, but I just can't. I know the choice is impossible for her, even though its obvious to me. I have no idea what to do, and I've been praying and being open to God to find out what is needed, but it's not working out very well. Before all this happened I was praying to see God's plan for me, to know what was needed of me to affect the world, and this is what has happened. Not a very good answer. I am probably overlooking something, but I am still trying to find the good in this situation, and failing miserable. As always. | | Sunday, September 24th, 2006 | | 12:47 pm |

Departure
Yeah. On that note. I'm leaving in less than a week. w00t w00t. Can't wait to get out of here, and to break a not talk barrier with a lot of my friends. Though i will miss you all here in PT, i will be better off, again, in st. louis. anyway. i may just be trying to suck sympathy from my friends, but it seems like no one is here to talk about things i need to talk about. it always turns out that i'm the one helping. again. for the 10 billionth time. Damn. that's what i get for being kind and loving i guess. goes to show doesn't it... Peace.

Ah yes... writing; the love of my life
So everyone should check out andres_landis.livejournal.com. It's my new weekly to bi-weekly to whenever the hell I want story journal. I like to think of it as a comic strip, except with a story rather than a picture. It is about Andres Verrino who is a detective and investigator in the futuristic world that I am creating. It is sort of fantasy based, but also sort of not. Please! Tell your friends about it, LJ and non-LJ. Come take a look for yourself! All are welcome!

Summer Update
Yeah so I failed my resolution of posting everyday. But oh well. So a couple updates since my last couple of posts. Frequent readers will know who Mia is, and how I thought I was liking her. Well it escalated into extreme like, and then we went home which was kind of anti-climactic, but we found out that we like each other. I suspect she may have liked me for a long time, but I can't tell. It seems that a certain night we spent together I was confused about, but it turned out that the chemistry wasn't negative, I was just reading it wrong. We had this pretty awesome moment where she said her hands were cold, so I warmed them up with mine, and then placed her hand down on my knee with my hand over hers. I almost let my fingers slip between hers, but I didn't, stupid me, I thought that maybe she didn't like me, and didn't want to seem to pushing. Anyway, that moment ended, but it was a really good memory. I miss her right now, and I sent her a letter or two at camp, so that was awesome, but I have no idea when she is coming back because she told me she is going to be in France, and she was already in DC and at camp, so I have no idea when she's returning. Hopefully she'll pick up some fun stuff from France to show... maybe she'll even speak french better. :p. No one tell her I said that.
