Journal Entry

This can be a bit of a problem when I'm looking for one...I've been thinking of getting a Volkswagen or Ford...The Ford Focus seems really nice. My family wants me to get a Saturn because everyone in my family has one. I don't know what to do. D:

I'm looking for something small, about $15k-17k, and good on gas. (Again, the Focus seems nice.) Don't care if it's new or used, so long as it works. XD

So, what kind of car do you drive (if you drive at all)? Do you like it, would you recommend it?

Heh, I just started working on an emote. But will you guys ever get to see a finished version of it? Who knows....who knows....if I don't get overly carried away with the animation, you may see it by Friday.

*grabs something to eat and coffee and gets back to work*

Oh and because I haven't done it in a long time, here's a shameless promotion for my Guild Wars guild:

Join Oscen Ex Merito [wAw]! (The name means "raven by merit" or something like that in Latin) We're an active guild with about 70 members, have a full (Nightfallen) guild hall and cape, and a GuildCafe guild. We're also in one of the largest Luxon alliances in the game, the Raven Alliance! (Damn those LaZy people, being larger than us and all...) The alliance comes with a website (www.raven-alliance.com) and Vent server, plus an active as hell Alliance Chat. Seriously, the chat is never silent. :3 So why don't you join us today?

I'll never understand trolls. I can understand presenting your opinion in an intelligent and sensible way, and perhaps having a little half-serious debate with someone (c'mon, it's the Internet, how serious can anything be?). But telling someone they're a piece of human trash and then laughing at them, or saying something "sucks" without giving reason, or just insulting something because it's either too popular or not popular enough (I'll never understand that)...It just boggles my mind.

Just looking at comments on YouTube, or GameFAQs, even deviantART...It's truly discouraging. Is the Internet where all the homophobic, semi-retarded, scum of the earth assholes gather? Am I just part of a minority that is at least civil toward my fellow human beings, regardless of race, sexuality, or beliefs? Even if I don't agree with someone, I'll let them know in a nice way or just not say anything at all.

Just because the Internet is anonymous doesn't mean you can be a complete ass to everyone. If there's something you believe is wrong, surely you can think of a better way to express your views than, "animes gay u suck go kill urself lololol wat a loser"

Of course, a majority of those comments are made by 11-year-olds. In that case, I seriously worry about the future.

Hell, today I had to endure a real-life case of this. I was looking at Wii games and a kid, maybe 13 or 14 years old, called me a "gay Nintendo fan-girl". Though I was annoyed, I ignored him. Soon his little friends joined him in looking at the big, manly M-rated PS3 games. I moved over to check out the PS2 games (Yay for price drops!), and they started on me again. "Dude, look it's a girl." "Dude, you wouldn't have a chance she's probably into girls." I still ignored them, bought Okami for the Wii because my PS2 version broke ages ago, and left GameStop. And the little butt-wipes followed me, making comments the whole way out to the parking lot. Uhg...

In just one class I have: A little two page paper, fifteen homework questions, a take-home quiz, a take-home test, a twenty essay question take-home final (has to be at least twenty pages), and a small five minute speech to give. All due tomorrow.

In another class I have: a ten page essay on early Greek architecture, due...oh, last Thursday. Damn. I also have the final to study for, but I have a snowball's chance in hell of passing this class anyway.

Then there's the Algebra final. I'm passing this class, so no worries.

And I have five ( I thought it was three!!) compositions to do for my design class, due Wednesday.

Psychology is all open book, so no need to study. (I don't think I've studied even once for this class.)

@_@ I've been doing schoolwork for a solid week, and I STILL have all this to do. At least summer vacation is one week away...

O_O I think we just had an earthquake. (about 5:40 am) After spending an hour trying to go to sleep, (finally fell asleep around 4), I wake up because my bed is being shook. Not just my bed. The whole apartment. I don't know how to make that sound better, it's almost 6 am and I can barely even speak right now.

It was large enough to know, "We're having an earthquake!" but not "HOLY CRAP WE'RE HAVING AN EARTHQUAKE!" big.

I know Indiana's had earthquakes before, but this is the first I've felt.

QUICK EDIT: It may have been about 5.4 mag.
