    That’s a disappointment. I got my first assignment from my creative writing class. Take a picture from your childhood and write a poem about it. How could the class make something I actually enjoy doing a chore?

    Most likely because you're taking what is precious to you, what is a part of your life and showing it off to a class who-

    I should stay away from the "Not Happy" thread for a while. :)

    My new boyfriend and I went grocery shopping today. As we were waiting for the bus, a mutual friend who did not yet know about us came. She was going shopping too, so we all went to the same store together. I invited her to come have dinner with us, and after a while, my boyfriend decided he didn't have to hide the fact that we were together. And she did not make any comments in front of him. She and I are talking on MSN now, and she thinks it's cute!

    Awwwww! Congrats, Rei. :)

    Joel is having his bachelor party right now, so I'm hiding in the room (I just got home...have to work a long shift tomorrow,so I didn't want to stay out any later), trying not to be a crazy, suspicious b*tch. Stupid coworkers...

    Aaaaanyhoo...no one is around, it appears. So I guess I'll be off now.

    I feel crummy. :(

    1) I have to do a 3-paged paper that's due on Tuesday.

    2) I have a sore throat.

    3) I just found a new webcomic that I really like, but since it's been so long since its last update, I'm afraid it may be one of those dead, uncompleted webcomics. The fact that it's fourm hasn't seen a new post in, like, four years just clinches it. The author does seem to really want to continue the comic (the last comic update was around Halloween of last year), but you'd think he/she'd hire someone to do the comic while he/she fulfilled the RL duties that's crippling him/her this much. I feel like I want to complain more about it, but really, that's a waste of energy when I can simply go make a webcomic of my own and keep a routine update. The problem is, where do I put it? :p DrunkDuck seems to be a good place since it is a site for webcomics...

    Link, sore throats are the worst. I feel for ya.
    But I like writing papers so...

    Today is Sunday, the day I refuse to go anywhere or do anything productive.
    I could technically just waltz around in my pajamas, but then I'd feel reallllly lazy.

    Hey, I like to write papers too, but it's just when there's not enough sources to draw from and the deadline is 48 hours away that makes it really tough. :)

    Make it tougher: Wait until 2 hours before it's due to start. Then panic and see if you can churn out a decent paper under enormous stress in that time frame. Guaranteed to improve your BS-ing skills.

    Doesn't procrastination sound sooo much more fun?

    That's great, Emily! =D

    I'm on Crack.com now and reading a list called "6 Random Coincidences that Created the Modern World."

    It's pretty interesting, especially the part about WWI starting because the assassin of Archduke Franc Ferdinand was eating at a resturant/tavern/pub at the EXACT moment poor Archduke's motorcade rolled into the area. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links, but it's interesting. Check it out. :)

    I found it. And I shall comment on said list after I finish reading it.


    Is it weird that I think Baby Hitler was adorable?

    Well, more tragic really that the little one was twisted to commit such evil atrocities. Maybe that darn art school in Vienna should've accepted his submissions, eh? But seriously, maybe Hitler should've checked out what art they liked BEFORE he tried to apply with his okay art.

    Now I'm in a critiquing mood. XD I'll avoid doing that here.

    But in the end, the only person responsible for his actions is himself. Anyone can have an abusive dad, be rejected from art school, have a dead mother, and live in the slums and NOT be a mass-murdering pshycopath. :eek: He was fully capable of deciding: "Y'know? I'm not gonna let this affect me. I'm gonna keep tryin' to be the best German boy like momma wanted."

    Makes WWII all the more infuriating, don't you think? All those lives lost because Hitler had daddy issues and stuff. I'm beginning to fear what happened to the higher ups of that art school in Vienna when Hitler took over.

    You have quite a point. I'm reading the list of completely accidental pieces of classic literature. Which reminds me of the time I asked my english teacher "How do you KNOW that Thomas Paine meant to use alliteration when he wrote that?"

    She didn't take kindly to that. Or the time I asked "How do you know it was the power of words that made Jonathon Edwards convert lots of new puritans? Couldn't it have been, ya know, God, or something?"

    She doesn't like me.
