Then I couldn't focus because I started planning an lj entry in my head about how dumb the exam was and how much I was on crack while I was taking it. Then I planned the part where I would write about how I couldn't focus because I was planning an lj entry in my head. Then I planned that last sentence.

XD XD I think I love you. (So what am I so afraid of, isn't that what life is made of... < / song)

Dude, so I asked LJ last time I commented you to e-mail me when you replied to that thread. See, I clicked the little thumbtack thingie, and LJ was all OKAY WHATEVER YOU SAY MASTER KATIE. And then it didn't e-mail me. :'( Wtf LJ, I hate you. We are over, over I say.

Yeah k bye.

Lj is a foo'.

Wtf are we in the library for?

You know what, I don't even know what's going on. She's got pneumonia and congestive heart failure and I can't even keep up with the updates of what's going on, but everyone kind of assumes she's slowly heading down that road. She probably doesn't have much longer to live, but we don't know when she's going to die.

Some stupid project, I don't know, I don't care.

Aw, that's sad. I'm sorry.

Everyone's been making philosophical comments, while I haven't. I feel inadequate. Woe.

Thank you! I thought about the God thing, but even then, you still have to ask why.

Which therefore don't really mean anything. But the only way we can preserve our sanity is to carry out our petty points anyway and not think about their meaninglessness. Aha, our pointless points. They're just rather blunt, I think.

HELL YES.

Lovely Bio. ♥ Don't worry about it yet. You just need them to focus for ya. This is just the high school level. It only gets really good at the post-graduate level.

The meaning of life, huh? Yes, if you are absolutely cynical there is none.
From a strict Chemistry point of view, we are just the universe's organizers. Entropy is what we aren't.
From a slightly philosophical stand point, we exist only because we exist. The meaning behind it all is what we dare make of it. Seriously, would you be happy if you found it absolutely futile to do anything? Then again, is it futile to do something you like? I don't really think so since you would find it worthwhile to you anyway. Saying it again, the meaning of life is what you make of it.

Thanks for the shippuden link. Would I have to watch all of the past Naruto episodes first, though? There are like 100 some episodes for me to watch since I'm still at where Naruto is training to learn that mini-chakra typhoon move.

That's true. It's just annoying.

Entropy is what we aren't. That's a very interesting thought. Humans obsessively organize things, don't they? And that's why we don't like the thought of there being no greater plan.
You just defined the positive side of Existentialism. That's why I like it -- it might get you down when you think there's no point, but when you're done moping, you realise that it actually liberates you.

Oh yeah. You should watch up until 135. After that it's just fillers, but you won't know what's going on Shippuuden if you miss the finale of Part 1, which is the twentysomething episodes before 135. I mean, you could still appreciate the fighting and stuff in Shippuuden, but there's a lot of plot in those last bits of Part 1. Including more background on Itachi, which will help you understand my incoherent rambling about him! XD Maybe. I'm a crazy fangirl.

It's not only the fact that we obsessively organize things. You can recognize well enough from Biology that our cells organize things in order to function. Existentialism is that, yes you're right. We are the greater plan.

Up to episode 135? Wow, I started watching 2 episodes a day so far. I'm up to where Naruto bets with Tsunade. This is crazy. It'll take me like 2 weeks to catch up to 135. Then again, that is only 2 more episodes of shippuden to catch up to. That rests my mind a bit.

Oh, you've got all the time in the world to catch up, don't worry. One Shippuuden a week compared to two episodes a day? That's fine.

Why not?

Going to give the 'Christian' answer and say God. Because I believe that there is a why, hanging out there, even if we haven't found it yet/wouldn't understand it if we did.

(they are averages, you know. For some people, it is a bazillion more, for some, a bazillion less)

telomeres. and they're trying to come up with ways to extend them.

Wisdom is good. Seeking of wisdom is also good. And I may just be sentimental, etc, but I see wisdom in a different light. Of course, my viewing of wisdom is that hallowed, slightly glowing thing that might be ridiculously difficult to strive for, and that I may never get to, but as something to go for. The seeking of wisdom = meaning of life? Perhaps. But yes. And no. They are going somewhere. All those little bits are streaming towards something. What? I can't tell you (it's classified)... but I can't explain it... (obviously, I fail)

and best of luck with the bio graders.

Ah, you take the leap of faith, like Kierkegaard. That's a good thing. ^___^

See, sometimes people use 'wisdom' to refer to that common sense that comes with experience that tells people when to leave well enough alone. It can mean a lot of things, though.
