I think everyone should download this. http://folding.stanford.edu/download.html
It folds molecules and sends data back to smart people and helps make medicines and such. It doesn’t slow down ur computer, at least not mine… although it’s fine to turn it off when ur mad gaming and shiz if you wanted to and what not. Anyway, I think it’s cool so :P.
I remember one of the things I was going to say. This term I’m in The History of U.S./Mexico Border Region with Kait. She really focuses on the racism of it so we were talking about it and I thought of this. I’ve kinda been ignoring racism since earlier because my teachers killed my compassion through Anne Frank. I read that book 6 times, saw the movie/documetary 4 times, and a live play twice between 6th and 9th grade. Anyway, I realized that in the now, and for a while acutally, financial success is concidered a white trait. Even more modern it’s being concidered an American trait. Anyway, it’s not like people like white people or Americans or rich people, but that’s besides the point. The thing I thought of was that white people are kinda screwed now, because if other races remain poorer then white people than white people are being racist, but if other races become as wealthy as white people, than we’re squashing their culture and ruining the world. South Park is funny. *shrug* This isn’t very well thought out or anything, or profound and shiz… just kinda cool so I thought I’d type it up and I’m bored. Dun wanna write my paper for the class. 😛
yay for lj being back. Kait left this weekend, so I’ve been just watching tv and doing homework mostly. umm… oh yea, and sleep. Sux how nothing is on tv tho. Hmm… maybe I’ll do something else. After I update this. Did you know Kirsten Dunce dated/dates the Donny Darco guy? There was some neato ice on the cars and stuff today. I played poker on Thursday… didn’t win anything tho. Didn’t lose anything either tho. Saw Shark’s Tale today, for free of course. Yeah, it was worth the price. Read about a gillion pages of stupid mexico essays. I have to right a paper sometime too. Should do that. I heard a girl in the room across the hall from mine say, “So you’re leaving me for a girl fatter than you?” tea’s pretty good. umm… I’m pretty sure I had more stuff to say, but lj was down then. the world misses out.
you guys have played KOTOR right? any of you think it’s just a coincidence that there’s an NPC named Adum Larp? hehe.
Kait and I have this thing where when we’re chatting online she thinks I’m not talking to her and I think she’s not talking to me. I always feel like I’m waiting for her to reply to me and she I guess feels that when she says something I don’t respond. Anyway, this has resulted in her being mad at me at the moment, which sux0rs.
In other news today I was supposed to go to a movie but my mom is kinda crazy and I ended up only giving blood. Mom’s plan was to somehow do both, her concept of time is warped or something. Anyway, I gave blood, so did martha and pat and brittany. I didn’t even pass out and I hadn’t eaten anything in like 21 hours. I had a glass of milk in bettween the time somewhere. So yeah, then I returned and played a little KOTOR before the D&D started happening. Steve brot over a couple of friends, Gram, who I’ve only played poker with, and Jacob, who I went to middle school with and who’s uber cool. So we started a bit late because they had to make characters, but things got going. I wore them out though, and I think by the end they were pretty ready to go. Except my sister, Ben, and Carlson, who stayed and talked about smeg for 3 hours. Yeah, so that was pretty much my day. I’m hungry and need to go to the bathroom. and I should proly sleep. and I have to catch up on my web comix before I go back to school.
she came back to make up. I love her. 😀
Well, I guess I should write something. My sleeping schedule is all messed up due to Christmas. I was all fine, sleeping from about 8 or 9 am to around 5 pm. Christmas morning however I had to stay awake all the way till 1:30 PM cause opening presents took so long. And then I had to wake up at 4:30 to go to Christmas dinner at a friend of my mom’s. So then I got back at like 10:30ish and couldn’t stay awake. I was counting on my friends to come over at like 1 and wake me up… thus putting my total sleep at around 6 hours, and making me tired again at like 4 am… a sensible time. however, my friends didn’t wake me up, so i woke up naturally at around 6 am of all things. So then I was all like, smeg. I tried to sleep more, but failed. So then I was awake in the DAY, and you can imagine what that was like. anyway, I took a little siesta at around 6pm to 8:30.. so I’m pretty awake atm. Maybe I’ll make it to around 5ish if my friends are up for entertaining me for a while. I’m sure all this information is riveting to you. maybe I should start making a sleep list like all my other lists.
Hmm… what have I been doing. Pat and I have progressed some in Baulder’s Gate… I think we’re probably getting fairly close to done with Chapter II. whoopy and such. I like playing coop. I’ve been hanging with the family some, grandma is here and all. I also have been watching stand up I download… that’s fun. watching is actually listening sometimes. Oh yeah, and becoming more D&D savy of course. chatting with kait. One good time waster is playing poker on pat’s online account. He lost himself $36 dollars or something last morning while I was asleep. rediculous. I won him back $6.60 this morning playing $.01/$.02 blinds… that’s what I call me being awesome. Before that I’ve won him prolly $2.50 the same way. I play for tables at once and usually have something else going in the background… it’s rather entertaining, and when the stakes are high (like $1) get a little cardiovascular exercise. I’ve started doing pushups again, although I’m way weak now. I stopped back when I had mono and strep and such. I think I’m going to kick my sets up to 30. I plan on starting to keep record of it all starting at the new year. I think it will be a boring record compared to the others though. Won’t change very much. I remember before my mono bout I was stuck at 35 for at least 1.5 months. hmm… maybe I should record some more than just the numbers and dates. naw… I can make a neato graph.
Things I should do before I go back to school:
yeah, ok, I’m going to stop now… things are getting a little out of hand. Plus I have to pee. Drinking Dominator’s does that.
That’s me w/ all my gifts. The games are really for the whole family. The stocking is there to show how big my candy cache was. And the money totals $74. Oh yeah, and that’s a nose whistle on my right knee.
April 2nd – Avitok and Fenris awoke and ate breakfast at the inn. The ogled the serving wenches sizable breasts. Then they were asked by the owner to get rid of a guy that was asking people weird questions and loitering behind the bar. They went back to find a halfling that was selling drakeleaf, but did not convince him to leave. Instead they headed into town to mingle with the people and see what information they could gather. They learned that wolf attacks were bad lately, and the full moon was in two days. They also learned that the king, King Dynas of Arilar, was ill and had no heir, and consequently the tyrant to the south, Bernal, was amassing a army. Or so the rumors were. They also heard news of the vandalization of Odoul’s house and the theft of two of his horses. Mishra and Gerald were awoken when the militia came to collect them. With them was Odoul. Fenris and Avitok returned to the inn to see Mishra and Gerald being lead away by the militia. Gerald accused Odoul of organizing a gang to run he and Mishra out of town and of possessing drakeleaf. The captain of the militia decided to have all three arrested and to search the Odoul house and then have things sorted out. Fenris and Avitok accompanied the captain to Odoul’s residence. There they found his wife, smelling of drakeleaf, and a small bag of drakeleaf in their bedroom. Odoul’s wife was arrested and a further search was ordered of the Odoul house. Mishra revealed to Fenris and Avitok that they had found a secret basement with a much larger stash of drakeleaf than was recovered. Fenris approached Odoul and suggested that he drop the charges, or the authorities would certainly find his secret stash. Odoul agreed to drop any charges. Avitok went to Odoul’s house and made sure none of the militia men found the secret basement. With Mishra and Fenris free, they all returned to the inn for dinner. There Fenris declared that he would fight for the down against the wolves and requested the help of anyone willing. Those willing included only his friends and a halforc, Horace Baloo, that had arrived in town earlier in the day.
April 3rd – Fenris, Avitok, Gerald, and Horace go to the jail and approach the captain of the militia, having learned that the militia has refused to fight for the town after the high casualty rate of previous months. The captain tells them that he will fight with them, but that he will not order the men (because they would not listen to him) to fight. He says however that if they wish they can try to convince the militia themselves, and that they will all be at the jail at 6 o’clock. The hero’s spent the day devising a plan to protect the town from the reportedly organized werewolf attacks. When the militia is gathered, Fenris makes a speech, hoping to rally the men to his cause. They are initially reluctant, but upon hearing the plan, they agree to help. Avitok and Fenris then leave to the mayors to ask or his support and the use of his house. Horace and Baloo head to the blacksmith and alchemist’s shops to enlist their needed services. Everyone cooperates and the blacksmith and alchemist work all night and all day the next day to make the silvered weapons necessary to defend the town.
April 4th – The day is spent preparing for the night. All of the citizens are convinced to move into the mayor’s house before dark, except a few hardheads. Traps are set at the three entrances into the mayor’s house, and the militia is posted. Four militia guard the mayor’s house, six are posted on rooftops around the town center. Fenris, Avitok, Gerald, Horace, and the captain of the militia stay on the ground at the town center, hoping to bait the wolves to them and away from the mayor’s house. As night fell, Gerald used his psychic abilities to foretell that most of the wolves would come from the south. Avitok cast a light spell on his weapon, and everyone readied for the attack. Shortly after darkness fell, howls could be heard throughout the woods, after a short while they fell silent. After about 30 minutes of waiting, Horace saw the wolves coming. There were seven wolves and four dire rats, all of them charging through town, coming straight for them, and heading from the south. The militia on the roofs fired arrows furiously, and one wolf was dropped before reaching the heroes. As the battle raged, all of the heroes suffered wounds. Fenris and Horace were attacked most heavily and required healing from Avitok. Everyone was standing at the end of the battle however, except for the weremonsters. As they fell, the wolves turned to goblins and the rats to humans. Only 25 gold pieces were found on their persons, and that was split, 20 to the heroes, and 5 for the militia. The militia and the hero’s then went to the mayor’s house to see if everyone was still safe. The militia men guarding the house reported that one wolf had attacked, but had been easily dispatched. Believing the threat to be over everyone left the mayor’s house and went to their own beds. The hero’s followed the innkeeper and went to bed to rest and heal their wounds.
Other than doing that I’ve been playing some video games and watching stand up I’ve been downloading. I’m enjoying faster internet and free time much. I’ve played some Drakengaurd, some Balder’s Gate (for PS2), and some MGS2. Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Played poker at Steve’s day before yesterday and one 3 dollars in like 15 hands. Those guys run out of money quick… do bad I didn’t have the best hands or I coulda made a lot more. Oh well, I’ll take three dollars. Still haven’t seen any movies, which I want to. I never get to see any at school, so I should seem some over break I figure. Oh well. I still have to do shopping for my sis and my exchange sis. I think that’s about it though, since I dun buy presents for most of you smegheads. Anyway, post on my lj. I know I dun say anything very comment worthy, but you should anyway, so I feel cool.
oh snap, only a 7 minute load time. Gotta go complain about this internet thing. Anyway, trying to update cause I’m bored. I have to kill time for an hour before I can go to dinner. I took my history of Western Culture final. It was basically just another test so it was easy. I predict A- in that class… just a guess. Next up is Ochem, everyone’s favorite. I would study, but that would be giving in to the man. I’ll actually prolly look at the reactions so I can do some of the synthesis stuff they want me to know… and I’ll look at those funny words that I dun remember exactly what they mean anymore. I need to figure out how to get home. I need to work on my DMing too… but I suppose finals take precedence for now. I asked for some D&D books for Christmas, even tho I have the .pdf’s… guess my leeching ways are slipping slightly. I should get a DMing hat like in PvP. So geekz0r. I need to figure out what to get Kait for Christmas. Hmm… she wants me to get her the satanist witch guide to seduction and manipulation, but I’m sorta against that. I don’t think she needs any help. I hate paragraphs btw. Yay, I sent an e-mail to the D&D people. I need Mike to hook me up with all the Star Trek ever. He said he knows how to get it. I like Star Trek. Whatever.
