Here it is, another thrilling update from the OC computer lab. I think if anyone knew I were using this computer for recreational purposes I'd be drawn and quartered. It's always interesting to see how many people rush to the computer lab when an assignment is due the next day. Stupid having to use Statistica, bah ( Read more... )

Now I know you're all dying to find out what I got for my birthday, but you'll just have to wait until I feel like writing about it (let's be honest, probably further down this post). For today I just have a couple rambly thoughts that I feel like spewing out into the void ( Read more... )

Okay, there are two main things I want to talk briefly about, but before that I just want to thank you guys. I may have expressed it before, but if I did it certainly wasn't enough, but I really appreciate the fact that I have you folks to rant to when things in my life go wrong, or when I'm having a bad day. Distanced though they may be, the ( Read more... )

Okay so I've been on a bit of a quiz blitz lately. It happens every once in a while, I'm sure most of you are used to it by now. Anyway it's finished, for the moment. Today I'm killing some time before I head off to Personality Theory to hand in my lab and learn about yet another messed up theorist. Actually most of the stuff I'm going to ( Read more... )

Okay so I just filled out a set of surveys on "religiosity and spirtuality" for a thesis project that some fourth year is doing. Granted I don't get credit for it this year, but I still enjoy participating in people's studies. Besides, good karma might shine on me if/when I'm running my own. Anyway, because of the topic I'm now thinking about ( Read more... )

Okay, so I was talking to Jamie tonight. Originally about Stetsons, which always makes me thing of Clayton, and I was mentioning how much I changed because of knowing him. Which made me think, pretty much everything I've ever changed about myself has been because of other people. Not other people making me change or anything, but just . . . ( Read more... )

Okay. I have about 30 minutes to kill before I can go swimming. What does that mean for you? A pointless, rambling, kill time post. Get ready for excitement ( Read more... )

Okay, I actually wanted to ask a question. Now, Jamie, you may want to ignore this because we already had this discussion. But it's actually kind of interesting, especially since I've had this conversation with a couple people recently. Anyway. When reading a novel, do you assume whatever the main themes say, that the author believes everything ( Read more... )

Some people choose to go for a drive or a walk, others lock themselves in their bedrooms, and others find they have to do something more complicated - what do you do when you need to clear your head, or get some space to yourself to think? Do you have a specific place you go, or are you one of the lucky few who can think clearly anywhere, anytime ( Read more... )

How important is it to my innate "bootler-ness" that I don't drink? I mean...is it a bad thing that I've been wondering what it would like to be drunk and not care about things around me? Or am I just panicking for no apparent reason because I've scared myself about it for so long? Arg ( Read more... )
