Okay, so you're just some lame-ass schlub who comes from nothing and is going nowhere and all of a sudden your life gets turned upside down. Long story short, you end up joining The Heroes, because they trashed your life and you've got nothing to go back to, so what the hell, amirite?

They train you up from nothing, and maybe there's some backstory ( Read more... )

Dear Dining Hall Staff:

I love you. You are responsible in part for my continued existence. You provide me with my daily cheese and vegetables and even some cake and those delectable Natchitoches meat pies which are pronounced [næ'kədiʃ] and are so tasty and bad for me. There is a good reason I don't go off the meal plan, and it's not because of all ( Read more... )

There's something very important missing from fiction of all media at the moment. TV shows I watch, and books I read, and everywhere under the sun, it's ever so rare to find a sense of triumph. It seems that the only medium where I can find triumph is in one-shot movies: if it's a serial, or a trilogy of some sort, there's no triumph until the end ( Read more... )

So this whole ElJay "think of the children" deletion scandal made Fark.com, for chrissake. :p What a steaming heap of bullshit. Anyone who listens to the crazed rantings of a group called "Warriors for Innocence", let alone goes and acts on them... Just... I mean... For fucksake, even if they kind-of, on some remote level, even-just-a-little make ( Read more... )

Aight, I now have a doable research topic for Dr. O's class... I don't actually have to go get my passport done before the application is due... and I am pretty much settled for the end-of-sem grind.

Short story critiques were yesterday, and... sweet zombie Jesus, I weep for my generation. Even the most basic sci-fi conventions are *whoop!* way over ( Read more... )

Damn to hell all professors who hand out vague and impossible research topics! This is the worst I've ever had, I get TWO FUCKING WORDS to go on, and nothing else at all. "Unstructured" my lily-white ass! And the library's fucking closed for two days as well... Sweet zombie Jesus, this is driving me nuts! It's half past midnight the day it's due, ( Read more... )

God (read: ibuprofen) have mercy on my back. T_T Five hours spent stooped over one project over another (added to an unwelcome visitor who showed up in the middle of it all), and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to stand up straight tomorrow. My ceramics class is abusing me.

I wish Yahoo had kept its dirty paws off of flickr, even though I didn't even know about flickr until long after Yahoo had acquired it. This fucking retarded system of integrated Yahoo/flickr accounts DRIVES ME FUCKING NUTS. I had a Yahoo account! I never used it for YEARS. I ended up using it to sign up for flickr. Now that my yahoo account is ( Read more... )

Gaaaaarrrr! Will someone please point me at a store selling mailing tubes for posters somewhere within a five mile radius of this school ( Read more... )

Well, yesterday was certainly fun, and then I put the icing on the cake by shooting my circadian rhythms all to hell ( Read more... )
