I won't be able to pick up... -White Tower -Defiance -World Broken -Darkened Sea (Since I seem to be more or less the Antagonist of that one.) Until I get back from Cali... I mean, I guess I could spend the time at night if you guys want me to, but that means you have to post actively! Lemme know if you guys want those threads active. You newbies should read up my intros on them and see if it's something you'd like to join. Usually my threads go over pretty well here. I'll wait till I get some responses.

I will return, in due time. They say that 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'.
Learn to miss me, maybe you guys'll call more often. ^_~

I want those threads active. They'd be active if I could double-post. Which I will not do.
And maybe if I knew your number I'd call you.

Get back 'ere and I'll see to it that we hang out more often with the entire group. I'm sick of these stupid walls we have set up...Just want my friends back together. And now that we have new faces, Detrevni and Cobalt, perhaps we can re-establish our forces for the coming year. Thistle, Hamster, Dark and I are going to be needing a lot of friends, I wager. The way the new school system is set up, I almost HAVE to be part of drama to even have my friends back.
In any case, time for my little hate rant:
Rarr. Life sucks, for the time being. Something's wrong and I can't fix it. Helplessness has never been easy for me to take.
There, I'm done.

I hate when someone has some kind of gathering of friends, and you only hear about it off-handishly, from someone else.
And then when you inquire about it / or altogether you just get one of these:
"Everyone's invited." "You're welcome to come." "You can come, if you want." "I invited (name), so I figured that you'd come too."
There's probably a few more, and it's probably just my OCD and they don't bother anyone else, but these all seem like non-commital cop-outs. More of 'permissions' than actual invitations. How about a simple 'I want you to come'?
I dunno, just bugs me, being an afterthought or generalized as an attachment.
That's my little rant.

It's happened to me, too. And I hate it. I usually make invitations if there is something special that I am holding because I hate it when someone pulls one of those.

I HATE STUPID PEOPLE. There's a guy who sits in front of me in training and he asks questions that have NOTHING to do with the current subject and then refuses to let the class go on until he's satisfied with the answer. "Where are teh instructions to put this part together?" "Well, if you turn to page 5 of the IP.." "I'm there, I don't see the instructions..." Me:"They're right frakking THERE!" (Yes I said frakking. I'm cool like that.) Keep in mind he was referring to an IP (Installation Plan) That we weren't going to refer to until we were done with the POWER TOOLS section. They guy next to me got a kick out of the use of the word "frak" though. Lol. Still. I want him to fail.. is that a terrible thing? I really don't want to have to work with this guy

I'm sorry. Last year, almost EVERYONE in ALL of my classes were like that. I was the only one that acctually listened during the lectures. Then they'de be crawling to me "I don't get it!!" And I'd have to re-explain everything (Exactly what the teacher had said before, and they'd be okay. Even the people in my math class who were in a higher grade.

I've got myself using 'fraking' and 'frak' while working. Cut me finger open today and blamed it on "the will of the cylons".
I have two classifications of people like that:
a. Curious.
OR
b. Kinda dumb.

Probably, it was just an accident. If I were to select "b", I'd also be calling my Mom "kinda dumb." She accidentally cuts hers open every now and again.

Everyone has their moments of utter stupidity.

Life sucks, huh?

Yeah, pretty much. But one can always find a way to make it better if one tries. Life is hard, but I believe there is a reason. And if life were easy, it would not be worth the living.

I listened to In the End by Linkin Park on the way home from work today. It made me cry.
In The End lyrics
(It starts with) One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter
Just sort of...fit.

Always been a favorite song for me. It's only when I get too comfortable with it that I tend to stop listening. You gotta keep a positive outlook.
There's no greater prospect in this existance than Life. Life opens the door to limitless possibilities. As long as you draw breath and blood pumps through your veins, you have the opportunity to do anything you want to do, and be anything you want to be, as long as you still have the will and desire to make it happen.
It's only when you forget this, you forget what a blessing Life is, that you fail to see everything you already have, and how much you stand to lose by not seeing that it's there.
You have to be able to live your life as a reflection of all that you care for. A Pursuit of Happiness with no regrets. Life, is a very long and arduous adventure. It's when you look to what you already have to make you happy, and pursue what you want with confidence you can grasp it, that you make the 'long' in 'long and arduous' into a good thing.
The greatest truth that I've found in my lifetime, is that it is not only the goal you seek that promises happiness... It's the journey you take, those with whom you walk that road and share this life that truely make it all worth living for. Happiness is in the Pursuit.
*Total sap guru moment over. Thank you.*
