Oh boy, I’ll post a cheesy language survey, but I won’t update any of you on my life. Too bad, huh?
Half these answers might depend on the mood I’m in or who I’m talking to... but I put what I’d most commonly call it.
Age: 22
Where did you grow up: Medical Lake, Washington
WHAT DO YOU CALL:
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks? Stream
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store is called? Grocery cart
3. A metal container to carry a meal in? Lunchbox
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in? Frying pan
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people? Couch
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof? Gutter
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening? Porch

9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup? Pancake
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself? Sub

12. Shoes worn for sports? Tennis shoes
13. Putting your bed room in order? Cleaning your room
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark? Firefly
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball? Potato bug (I swear we call them that. Though I hear pillbug occasionally. Not that I’ve seen one in 15 years.)
16. The children’s playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down? Teeter-totter
17. How do you eat your pizza? Crust last

No, I’m not posting a survey. Yet. I suppose there’s a possibility I’ll decide to post one, but I wouldn’t count on it. I think that’s pretty much all I have to say. |

I'll be semi-exciting and post one of these song games that are apparently going around. Or something. The official directions are as follows:
"Directions: 1. Hit shuffle on your current playlist. 2. Write down your favorite line of the first 20 songs. 3. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line. 4. Have your friends comment and see which songs they know."
Of course, I was barely able to choose my favorite line from most of them, since that usually included the title of the song. So instead, we get random lines from various points in the songs. Oh yeah, I skipped instrumentals. --;

Nothing like a boring quiz to make my journal less exciting. So here you go.
You are a GRAMMAR GOD!
If your mission in life is not already to
preserve the English tongue, it should be.
Congratulations and thank you!
How grammatically sound are you?

Ahhh, day 7584. Not quite as exciting as day 2983, but definitely better than... nevermind, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about, and I sure hope that you don't either.
Anyway, I don't appear to have much to say, as the only things I want to say, I don't want to say to the general public. That means you. Well, not necessarily *you*, in particular, because depending on who you are, you may just be someone I may want to say things to. You know what I mean. And this time, I do mean *you*.
Pointless thoughts
falling on many deaf ears:
Jason's livejournal.
This semi-haiku has been brought to you by the letter 7 and the dairy farmers of Washington.
Yes, the letter 7.
No, really, I'm serious.
I think I'll leave you all with a fact that I'm sure none of us can challenge the validity of...

Well, well, well, yet another update. Will it be interesting? Of course... not. What were you thinking? Well? Yeah.. that's what I thought.
Anyway, if some more of my friends ever take that sexual compatibility thing, I'll paste it here. For now, there are about six results... and I'm too lazy to paste it for only six. Yeesh. Maybe later.
Ok, I'll add it now.
Now, if anyone has any tips for properly modulating my voice to produce a convincing female tone, I'm open to any suggestions. Keep in mind that I can alter the pitch at any time, so I only need to adjust what formant frequencies I'm throwing out. If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, then nevermind. Either that, or offer to record numerous lines. The choice is yours. Or maybe it isn't.
Now... I just realized it wasn't particularly interesting to start two paragraphs with "Now," but I'd rather not go back and correct it.
Finally, I think I should make note of the fact that group projects at school are evil. Thank you. |

This is an update. No really, it is. I didn't say it would be a good update.
I return to school in five days or something, and all the better, because I'm really tired of eating salad.
Anyway, once that happens, I'm sure I'll have something more interesting to say. Until then... |

Well, day 7531 just finished. It was less exciting than you might think for such a monumental milestone, but at least I didn't have to mow the lawn. The point of all this is that there really is no point. Seriously.
In other news, I finally can return to school in about two weeks. This has some definite pros and cons. First, there are a few reasons I prefer living there. Believe it or not, having food selection available to me makes me much happier, instead of eating salad as a side dish every single day here at home. Not to mention that my school actually has good food. In addition, I'll no longer have to deal with a constant influx of spiders, ants, earwigs, and other assorted arthropods. Granted, there are some curious bugs in my particular dorm, but they don't happen to bother me, and I might see one once a month. Furthermore, this house creeps me out for whatever reason. I hope that's to be expected given it was constructed in 1910 or something.
Now for whatever negatives there may be. Well, first, the shower head is a bit shorter than it should be, but that's relatively minor. More pressing is the fact that I'll have to attend class again. Distressing as that may be, it'll continue to be pointless and almost pathetically easy. Finally, I'll have to use my headphones more. For whatever reason, I'm not exactly comfortable with people in real life hearing all of my music collection. Perhaps it's the sizable collection of Britney Spears. Nonetheless, I'll find a way around this problem, as I have the past two years. I suppose there's another problem in that people might annoy me and knock on my door. Luckily, I think my ignore the incessant knocking skills haven't regressed, so I don't anticipate a problem. If all goes well, there won't be many phone calls, either, which should keep me from going insane listening to a ringing phone. Yes, I refuse to answer the phone unless it's planned. If it's really important, the person can leave a damned message.
Finally, I will have Tuesday off, but as a consequence will have a fairly long (read: 7 hours) Wednesday. No matter, as the last 3 hours consist of a pointless lab.
I think that's about it. |

I don't know what it is, or if it even exists, but my oh my, it tastes more like fresh peanuts.
In other news, the temperature has dropped from a blisteringly hot 95F (35C) to a slightly warm 52F (11C) in two days.
In yet other news, a man recently walked into a bar. He would have asked the bartender for a drink, but unfortunately, the bar was metal, and I don't mean the music. He's recovering at the nearest hospital.
Finally, it appears that Jack Nicholson is, in fact, Satan.
Thank you. |

Well, now that my summer vacation is two-thirds of the way completed, I think it's time to evaluate it... See, I had quite large lists of games to play, books to read, and other random things to do. You know how much I actually did? Almost nothing. In all honesty, my routine this summer has been pretty much the same as my routine at school. My original intention was to take advantage of the extra four or so hours I'd have a day and do something. I didn't change my sleep schedule.. I didn't change my daily activities. I just haven't added anything really. I'm not sure what it is. Something blocks me from doing things...
Well, with another month and a third or so left, I should look to increase my activity. This coming quarter, I won't have class on Tuesday, so that'll provide some decent opportunities. Still, I think I need to make some progress before the summer is over. Actually, I've been putting in 20-30 minutes a day to reading anyway, so I'm not worried about that aspect. It'll just take a long time to read those books. That's not really a problem, though. Gaming... well, that's just breaking down and doing it. Unfortunately, when I have other things I can do, it often takes a back seat. Ok, fine, that'll still be there in five years, and the odds of my actually playing a game would increase greatly if I had a second computer, but that won't happen for a couple of years, barring a lottery win or something. Either that or a sudden influx of donations. That leaves my various programming and web projects... which no one who reads this gives a damn about, so I won't elaborate. Wait, did I say people who read this? They exist? @_@ |

I have now discovered why this particular layout has been breaking horribly in Mozilla... Kat, you must absorb the same fix, since I discovered it looking at your journal. :p You know, unless you like it creepy looking. ^_~ At least, it should fix it... worked on mine anyway.
Now it's time to yell at all you people who still use IE. It has so many layout bugs it's not even funny anymore. A lot of it is subtle stuff you won't notice unless you actually read the specs. You'll just think that's how it's supposed to work. -_- Yes, Kat, this means your dotted borders.
Hooray for pointless entries. :D? |

I've discovered that LiveJournal is one of the worst examples of HTML ever known to exist.
EVER.
Seriously, they construct the page like there are still numerous Netscape 4.x users out there. It's time to let go, people. All modern browsers provide decent support for CSS-based layout. They should be using XHTML-based markup, and leaving all the styling to CSS. They do use CSS for most of the styling as it is, but they do it in a horrendously inefficient way. Yeesh.
Though, to put it in perspective, most people who make their own blog (at least of the EoFF-type group) are even worse than LiveJournal. That's right. Like it or not, (X)HTML is not a layout language. It's a document markup language... The next person who uses a "font" tag can kindly go to hell. No, I'm serious. There are plenty of ways to style your document without resorting to "font" tags...
And now that I'm done semi-ranting... uh... I don't seem to have much else to say. Shame. |

Well, I tried that model-making thing. Let me tell you, it was hell. First, none of the hair styles really fit, so in the end I just had to kind of pick one. Second, my hair color is right in between two of their colors, so ;_;. I don't think I'll post it here. I will, however, post another model. I just kind of clicked on things randomly and threw in a random weight. :D
Make Your Own
The clever may be able to find my real attempt. Someone else could probably do better. I think my virtual model is sucking in. :D |

You represent... angst.
You have an extremely cynical outlook on just about
everything. It's okay to sulk and be
depressed, but life is short, and you only get
one. It's only what you make it, and only you
can make it improve.
What feeling do you represent?

Are you Addicted to the Internet?

While you do get a bit of sleep every night and sometimes leave the house, you spend as much time as you can online. You usually have a browser, chat clients, server consoles, and your email on auto check open at all times. Phone? What's that? You plan your social events by contacting your friends online. Just be careful you don't get a repetitive wrist injury...
