You'll never be alone again
Forgot to mention - the high school biology teacher took the kittens. They'll be in a good home.
Still a little miffed at Meg, but she apologized, so whatever.
I have my first real essay of the semester due next week, so I'm going to do some memes.
Leave me a comment saying "Contagious, Yoda's grammar is". I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better. Update your journal with the answers to the questions. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions. From yume_mori:
1. What would be/is your favorite place to live and why? As of now, I like my parents' house best. Being in the middle of nowhere is a pain, but sometimes I feel like I live in a nature calendar. If I could live anywhere... I'd probably choose Hawaii or a nice place in Florida just for the warmth.
2. Which class that you've taken have you enjoyed the most? Oh, wow, that's hard. Umm...Either World Civ or Creative Writing. I had an awesome World Civ professor except he seriously asked me if I was a Jew once. It's a long story. He didn't make us do much real work, and his lectures were always interesting - usually long tangents about random stuff. Did you know the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats because they primarily ate grain, and the cats ate the mice?? I love learning stuff like that.
The atmosphere of my CW class is just very unique. Actual quotes from the class include: "You HAVE to keep the crazy ukelele lady," "Oh, I understand, it's hard to write in first-person dog," and "Generally people make sure that a thing is a person before they have sex with it." Honestly, sometimes it feels like a few other sane people and I stare at each other going "WTF, how did I end up here" and there's a camera somewhere filming it to a live audience.
3. What is your favorite time to write during the day? I like writing in the afternoon if I can, but I usually end up writing at night. I dunno, it's simply when I normally feel like it.
4. Which is your favorite Final Fantasy game? Ughh, SO HARD. VIII or XII. VIII because I used to be in love with Squall, and "Eyes on Me" can still bring tears to my eyes. XII because of the amazing detail and Balthier. But then VIII has Laguna and...and... I really don't know
5. Philosophy or Science? Um... that's hard to say. Science, ultimately, because it has more real-world applications. Humanities professors tell you that history is important so we can learn from our mistakes, but I kinda feel like we don't. :/ But maybe all those guys who invaded Russia didn't pay attention in class An understanding of the human condition is vital, true, but I consider philosophy below art or music in importance. That's only my opinion, though. Personally, the only reason why I never considered a Philosophy major was because of the limited career options. But in the end, I kinda want to deal with something more concrete.
I still like it a lot, though. Bertrand Russell and Voltaire are my favorites at the moment.
