I checked out some of the screen shots for Battle of Olympus. Looks almost identical to Zelda II! I catch myself thinking that I might enjoy the game play with the different mythology (er, so to speak). Perhaps the Zelda story and the side-scrolling environment just don't jive very well.

Glad to hear you're back on track with school, even if things are rough. Got any plans for after graduation? I actually applied for a job at UofMD a while back. Drove my ass all the way up from NC for the interview, but they ended up doing an internal hire. Not sure I would have loved the job anyway, but I would've been nice to save the gas money.

That is awesome about the worry-free weekend and about your therapist's decreased price. How cool is that? Your therapist must really care about you to do that.

There are good people in this world. You just have to find them and stick with them (easier said than done, I know).

I'll tell you where you can find one good person at this very moment. That person is you.

That was cool!!! We both commented in each other's journals at the same time. I didn't see your comment until after I was done in your journal.

Very cool.

I'm not sure what to say about the sucky parts of SG, or the sucky-acting people, other than I glance at them for a bit and then go to Friends's Journals, MySpace, LiveJournal, or Channel101....

Hope the CVS site worked for you eventually. I just used it, and hmmmmm the closest one to me is in Reno Nevada? Guess I'm going to stick with Rite Aid and Walgreen's.

Best luck to ya.

My theory about cattiness among women comes about mostly from human nature to be #1. In our evolved, civilized society, simply beating someone up (or having one's caveman partner beat someone up) is terribly gauche, not to mention illegal. So what's left? That's right, cattiness. It's a game of one-upsmanship when physical alternatives are unavailable.

Your non-understanding of what drives people to strangeness about their sexuality is, perhaps, not too unusual. After all, there are whole university departments dedicated to the study of human sexuality. It's not a failing to not "get" something you yourself are not immersed in. It's really no different than understanding the depths of peoples' interest and dedication to, say, Harry Potter fanfiction, video games, sports or church activities. Unless you are involved in those communities to begin with, you're an outsider.

Think about it: do you really understand why so many people (mostly guys) huddle around a screen watching groups of men try to move a pigskin 10 yards at a time? Why they can tell you stats about the quarterback's history of completing a pass when playing against Team X on grass at Saturday afternoons when the wind is blowing out of the NNE at 5 mph? You probably think they're weird. Do you think they understand why you play video games, know more about Link than most people and make Link mosaics out of post-its on your wall? They probably think you're weird. It's just a matter of what interests each of us.

You've mentioned a few times now about feeling a bit detatched from Internet communities, SG included. I wonder if you haven't just considered the fact that it's only the medium that's changed, not human nature. Internet communities are merely reflective of the broader society at large, with the ability for people all around the world to congregate to talk about their favourite and obscure interests. If you're an introvert, like us, these congregations don't make sense most of the time. 'Why would you possibly gather to talk about that?' we wonder. Well, people just do. And the Internet reflects that. Just like we wouldn't join a knitting circle, or other social club that exists in meatspace, we similarly don't get people who congregate online to do the same thing.

SG, being so large, is merely a microcosm of the larger Internet, if initially predicated around alt-goth-punk pin-up girls. You get all sorts here. Not to sound too much like a therapist, but why dwell on the things that you don't understand? The cattiness, the girl worshipping, the groups that you have no interest in joining? You have friends here, you have groups you follow and are interested in those -- why not just enjoy those?

In other words, why get upset about the things you have absolutely no control over? They're always going to be there and you're just going to make yourself miserable thinking about all the 'I-don't-get-this' things that, believe me, exist offline as they do on here.

Just my 2 cents.

(Sorry for the spam)

thats a really good one!!!

I like it!

oooh cant wait for the video

I just hope that one day my limerick writing skills will be on par with yours. Hopefully my workload will diminish over these coming weeks so I can start making some OEDILF contributions.

I'm also trying to work out a riddle in limerick form for the Puzzles & Games group. Should be fun.

Wow! I loved your video so much. You looked fantastic, and you presented yourself very, very well. I'm quite impressed.

I hope you pass the class. Believe me, I had my share of those back in college. I know how it feels.

Thanks for letting me know about your other video. That one was cool as well. I hope you're enjoying your weekend.

hey, it works now. you should read limericks on the next video!

I'm a regular reader but a lousy responder, and I'd love it if you'd read some of your limericks.

I'm quite misanthropic myself, so I completely understand where you're coming from. The anonymity of the internet exacerbates the inherent arrogance and self-righteousness in people. On the street, you may receive a look of condescension, though generally not much more than that. Give someone relative anonymity and the privilege of distance from reprisal and POOF!, instant asshole.

I wish you the best in your endeavors, whatever they may be.

At least I'll still have you on LiveJournal, if you decide to pare down your postings here.

I, too, feel obligated sometimes. I don't even have a great desire to be a model anymore, but I've paid through August of next year, so I feel like I might as well stay. I definitely avoid the boards unless I'm a little tipsy, and then I just stick with the silliness threads and act a fool there.

Hope you are having a peaceful weekend with this alone-time.

Yep, "man-days". The amount of time we supposedly waste isn't just counted by hours, it's by the day!
