A Theory on Whimsy

Over the years that I was away at college I changed in various directions. For example: my writing style became more accessible to other people. No longer to I ramble on in an archaic sentence structure unless I am writing a story in that vein. I Learned one of the most valuable lessons when I was working on my senior project. That is to adapt your writing for the audience. It was difficult to balance putting myself into my work without getting carried away. Once I got into it, i had a real blast.

aside from that, something more dramatic happened. I have changed my religion. It is something that I will only tell to my closest friends. It is sad that I can not just go spouting it off to anyone that might be interested, because so many people are judgmental in this day and age. I have decided to become pagan. I am still working out the nitty-gritty stuff such as choosing a path and how I want to work things. I am currently looking at Wicca as well as reconstructionism. Nothing really caused me to change, it was a few things. I was no longer happy with how I was worshiping and how it was done. I was getting tired of the persecution one christian may pin on another. Specially within the church we were associated with. Also, the philosophy aggravated me with the idea that I am a lost sheep with no knowledge of this world. I needed something were I was responsible for my own decisions and how I view right and wrong.
In short, I felt more comfortable with paganism because it is a celebration of life and death with very little finger pointing within reason. I.E. fluffy bunnies and hurting other people for self gain.

So what is the difference between a journal and a blog? I have noticed that they really are one and the same. Is the difference that celebrities have blogs so that they can appease thier myriad followers by allowing them the continued dellusion of knowing the celbrity in question's buisness?
But I digress,
A lot has happend in the last few days, for example I graduated on sunday with a 3.45 accumultive gpa. .5 from being cum laude. oh well, I still have technically another year to get it up some more with the icp program.
i got a dsi from my parents for a grad gift. It's one of the light blue ones,I am completely satisfied with it despite the serious lack of a gba slot.

For those of you who don't know, I got into a relationship back in December. Here are some photos of my gf. (I am so happy that they made it easier to post photos on lj. Also, my last final is this afternoon.

So, it's the end of the semester, the week before finals and I have quite a bit to take care of. I have an animal biology exam tomorrow and a lab practical this Thursday in the same class. Not to mention a paper due tomorrow as well.Oh well, honors convocation and torch night is this friday. Finals next week!

So, I have decided to bring this thing out of its grave. I have missed the idea of having someplace to dump my thoughts and ideas that are for anybody to see and comment on. Not to mention, it is nice to find out what other people are doing every so often.

I feel nerdtacular saying this but I feel as though I was screwed over in terms of my education today. A professor of mine cut down a mimimum page requirement from 12 to like...8. I already have 8 pages written out and I shouldn't have to sacrifice my education towards research because I have so many fuhcktards in my class that it pains me to be merciful in my now rage.

I this video helped me out in my rage though. For all those that "loved" snakes on a plane and honestly love Resident Evil.

So, I picked up Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker on saturday. Apparently the design team went for a new approach. It still kicks the living shit out of pokemon in terms of complexity and depth in terms of monster collecting and team building. You can see monsters on the map so you can actually see your quarry finally! The game is in full 3D now, For graphics think PSX era cell shading.
In terms of organizing, the monsters are organized from rank f-S class monsters so you're highly encouraged to constantly upgrade your team. No more hanging on to that same Demonite....T.T
I've clocked in about 5 hours so far and in terms of game completion I'm no where, that's right kids don't expect square-enix to hold your hand with this one, it's back to that hardcore Dragon Quest difficulty I know and Love! <3

I noticed something today. I get kinda volatile when I work on a major paper for a long amount of time. I was working on my 12 or 15 page paper (Dan Mcveigh keeps chaning his mind.) today for about 3 hours and I am no longer a happy camper. oh, well I'm almost done with it anyway.

So, this is weird. In the middle of dinner I got really antsy all of a sudden then I felt like someone walked over my grave. Mega weird. I don't know if came from my Level of Caffiene or my genuine psychic ability. 
It's kind of weird and unnerving at the same time. I wish it would go away. 
Seriously though, it needs to leave.

I decided that I wanna be Conan when i grow up!
