>_< Northern people really irritate me when they first come to this town. My newspaper just hired a new girl who used to live in New York (why she came here I'll never know). And while I trained her on how to use the network, do her column, ect, ect.. All she did for the entire time was complain about how backwards we are her. "Why on EARTH would you people ban smoking in public places? Hmph" "Why the hell does it always STINK around here! BAH!" IS this all we have to write about? Why don't we ever do anything interesting?" "How come I haven't seen a banjo playing quartet in overalls yet? HMph." I usually don't cuss, but... God Damn it! We're not fecking hicks here! We're not some beverly-hillbilly armadillo eating, possum hunting backwards twats! Just because we're really conservative around here and actually stick to our moral values doesn't mean that we're backwards! >_< The small percentage of my state that does fit the "white trash" sterotype are wayyyyyyyyyy down south and account for <1% of our total population. *sigh* This just irritates me. Then again, I'm sure northerners think the same of us when we come up to their states. O_o Sorry, just one of my hot button issues. /rant
Ok, seriously, I'm really upset now. It's not totally horrible, but my external hard drive quit working. I'm pretty sure that the hard drive just kind of crapped out on me. Sure, there wasn't much of anything really important on it (just a bunch of pictures and ripped DVD's and other school-related stuff), but it's still annoying because today I was planning on moving stuff over and clearing up my laptop's hard drive. Guess that won't be happening. I guess I should be a tiny bit greatful that it happened BEFORE I moved everything over. :O
I was totally surpised today. My dad did something really cool for my mom (and me I guess). He hired a full maid service to come and clean our house. I mean, everything is shiney and sparkly and clean. My room is spotless, and all my crap I'd piled up over about 6 months is orgnaized. Hell, my closet is arranged according to color and seasoning. O_o Even my anime and book collections have been alphabatized and re-organized. He wouldn't say how much it cost, but I caught a glimpse of the order form, and it came to roughly 300$. :O
I don't have much else to say. Uh. Except maybe that I'm really irritated about the External Power Source Crash thing. That's 250 GB I really can't afford to lose. That was really quite irritating. I'm going to have to see what I can do about that. >_>
- K is for Katie 2008-09-29 15:44:00 Katie darn you and your pokermons posts in your journals! I picked up Emerald to just toy around with and waste time today, and now I'm on a journey to catch em' all! (Now I just need to get Pearl once I finish Emerald's catch list). O_O

*yawn* I stayed up too late last night. But I had this really creepy nightmare and it was hard to sleep after it. It basically was that the moon got hit by a comet, then screwed up the entire world, causing stuff like in "The Day After Tomorrow" to happen, and then all my friends and family dying. It was the most vivid, morbid dream I've ever had. I had to stay up for at least and hour and watch South Park to get the images out of my mind. >_<
Yay! AMV Update! I've got the footage ripped and I'm working on substituting all the scenes in my Iron Chef version of Tomorrow with new scenes. So far I've got Ah! My Goddess the Movie, Loveless, Code Geass and I'm still picking up other DVD's from friends/rental stores to fill it out nicely. :O
Blug. My friends are still insanely going insane. >_< I'd rather not get into it now though, because I basically just described all their issues in the last entry.

C is for CodeOmNomNom

*nom nom nom*
Mixed feelings today. My friends are freaking out. Like totally freaking out. (names are changed to protect the innocent) My friend Ryan is about to just go nuts because of his breakup that happened over 4 months ago, and he's not getting better. My friend Hannah is freaking out because she hates her job, she hates her parents and she hates paying bills and living byherself. My friend Brent is freaking out because everybody isn't a democrat and everybody isn't an atheist, and is doing everything in his power to change that. I'm seriously the only sane one left in my college group of friends. Good God. My high school friends are more sane and put together than these people! So why the hell do I still hang out with them? Because Ryan would kill himself, Hannah would hit the alchohol and Brent would continue his tirade of death and demise until he died. *sigh*
Ironicially, I feel like I've been through a lot these last few days. When I realized that I could handle college life (4.0 after my first batch of exams each worth 20% of my grade in each individual class), my stress level went way down. I actually enjoy going to 4/5 of the classes, and look forward to them. I answer questions in class clearly. I'm the "go to guy" in the library that my classmates search out for for help on assignments. My life is all together, and it's never been more solid. Sure, I don't know what I want out of my future, but as long as things are good right now, I think I can deal with that. Anyway, back to how I think I've changed. In high school, I used to hyperventilate about everything. I was the slave boy to the teachers and club organizers. Here in college, I'm calm, composed and well rested for once. I'm also more "smart". I've realized a lot of things about the world, my religion, and my life.
So that brings me to my next gripe. Why can't my friends see all this? Why can't Ryan get over his lost love? Why can't Hannah do what she wants in life? Why does Brent want to change everybody, even if he has to be violent/rude about it? I think the answer is really simple. They're scared. They're scared of changing their lives. But it's what they need to do. If not, they're going to crash and burn. Maybe I can get through to them. :)
Allow me to continue this jornal post, because to be honest, I kind of need the therapy.
Gaming News: Still playing Civ:Rev on the DS. I've realized that when I play as Russians, I can totally take over the world. Seriously! In the last three games I've played, I've won two domination victories (by actually dominating, and not just letting the game end), and one economic victory. O-o Who knew? Also, Final Fantasy IV is kind of on the backburner. The GBA version's glitches really suck, so I'm about to just break down and buy the DS verstion. >_<
AMV News: WAFV is still attacking my AMV editing time. My new video "Tomorrow" is still in production, and I'm going to need beta testers when the time comes. PM me if you're interested.
School News: 4.0 GPA FTW!
Well, I think I'm done. I need to go start making an outline for my midterm paper in my Film Class, write a composition for World Literature, and finish reading Catcher in the Rye for my American STudies class.
/goes to work
(Note: I have nothing against Democrats or Atheists, but my friend Brent is going around trying to convert everybody to his beliefs, call others beliefs stupid and pathetic (even democrats!), so it's kind of like the reverse Bible-Thumping Christian Republican trying to conver others, and that's what irritates me. It's not what he belives, it's what he's doing with that belief) -
M is for Math
2008-09-26 11:24:37
Bah. College Algebra is a boring class. I just sit there for like an hour twiddling my thumbs and doing the in-class participation work to turn in at the end of the hour. Well, I still have World Literature at 1 o'clock, so I've got like three hours to kill.
As for the name situation. I like the new name. I've always liked just "Code" best. So Ima gonna keep it that way. :O Although I'm sure people will still call me chrono, so that doesn't bug me though. :) Plus, it's the name that I originally wanted when I joined the site.
I've gotten really addicted to the band Skillet. At first, I just liked it because Crossfade did that awesome Chemistry video with the band, and I've always loved their song "Rebirthing". Now that CF did another awesom skillet vid, I went out and got all their songs. They are just really awesome. :)
I hope it snows this year. :) I've always loved snow. We hardly ever get it here in my little area of arkansas. We got some last year and it was like barely and inch and everything got shut down. I want a real snow!
Speaking of my little town in Arkansas, I've realized how much I really love it here. It's peaceful. The worst contraversies we get around here is the mayor not showing up at the annual church breakfast. In fact, three years ago we had a college girl get murdered by somebody, and that was like the first murder we'd had in years. A few people die in car crashes, but we don't have the drunk drivers like other towns in other states do. Sure, it's a little poe-dunk town, and the biggest form of entertainment we have is a movie theatre, but it's lovely. I plan on spending the rest of my life here. Sure, I plan on going out of state for my graduate studies, but I'm coming back to make it a better place to live. :)
Speaking of graduate studies, I've been thinking more about my future. I think I could pull something like Law off really easily. :O Or being a doctor. Or being anything that doesn't involve like running or junk. But I like helping people, so maybe being a counselor would be a good idea too. I've often thought of being a shrink with good prices. :) I still don't know for sure. I just want to be happy and have a family of my own. That's not asking too much right?
Anyway, I'm just procrastinating so I don't have to do my math homework or my reading assignment due in three hours. So I'm going to have to quit writing already and actually get some work done. :0
