Thu Oct 12, 2006, 1:55 PM

  • Watching: The Simpsons
  • Playing: Beyond Good and Evil
  • Eating: Nothing

Yes, with the exact same thing. XD

You know, the thing, where you, like, tell 6 weird things about yourself and pass it on to some people, not forgetting to tell them on their devpage, etc, etc. ^^;;;

Let's get this over with, then. XD

*sighs and thinks*

1. I have a love for pencils. I shudder when I see people chewing on them, throwing them on the floor, breaking them in half, etc.

2. I compose music on the piano, believe it or not. I should tape some and show you sometime. ^^;;

3. I'm not shallow! <- OMG SO WEIRD!
Yeah, I know. I want to rant about it.*

4. When I'm writing or typing, or just thinking about something, and I have a stroke of inspiration, I will literally get up and run a lap or two back and forth across the room. I'm serious. I actually hurt my ankle really bad doing it the other day. XD

5. I'm currently obsessed with the old Zelda cartoon. What's doubly weird is I actually think it's funny. XD
(Want Link? Here's [link] Just scroll down a bit. ^^ )

6. I'm a game gourmet. A game has to not only get really good ratings in all the magazines ( XD ) but also live up to my standards for me to actually play all the way through it. The current (short) list of Greatest Games of All Time:

Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
Syberia 1 and 2 (PC)
Age of Mythology Gold Edition (PC)
Zelda (duh!) Ocarina of Time (N64, GCN)
Zelda (duh! once more) The Wind Waker (GCN)

Ookay, now here are the lucky contestants:





-------------------------------------------------
*SHALLOW RANT:

Today, my friend was saying she wanted to find a guy that was a combination of Chris Angel, Johnny Depp, and any number of other celebrites. I simply said, "I want to find someone who loves me." She stared.

Is that so wrong?

I mean, ever since I got into high school, I have KNOWN who I am. I am open, and my beliefs are mostly of peace and acceptance, which is the way I want to live. However, my friends of many years, as well as most everyone else I know, is retrogressing in that area. They complain about fat people and laugh at them. They talk about putting certain unpopular kids in horrible situations.

I feel like I need new friends, but I have no place to go.

They willingly say all this in my presence, even though I have hinted on how cruel they really are being. I suppose I can't change them or anyone else, but it sure does make me upset. After all, none of us are exactly attractive, either.

They formed this group, telling me that they were rebels. I now know what a rebel is; someone who stands up not against authority, but against the pressures and beliefs of society. My beliefs are strong, and I will not conform to these petty, shallow views of the world.

The world whispers, "If they're hot, f*** them. If you hate 'em, kill them. If they're socially awkward, tell rumors and lies about them until they will never be able to make a friend again." I shout and scream to this empty wall in vain. Surely I have put up with their fifth-grade thoughts for years, surely they can at least keep their shallowness to themselves for a while? But I have no authority to change them.

Really, my group of rebels is simply a pack of what they call "preps" disguised in different clothing.

My favorite verse says something like: "If you were of the world, the world would accept you and love you as its own, but it rejects you because you are not of the world, but chosen by Me to do my work." I guess the world will never accept me. Pity.

People nowadays have a skewed perception in what is real. Good is now Bad. Bad is now Good. After many years of being being teased about my morals, I have concluded that Good is stronger than Bad. Bad is giving in to what society asks of you, conforming because you are too weak to resist it. Good is rebelling against society and being strong in the face of all prosecution. It's hard, but satisfying, and to me, it feels right. I know who I am.

------------------------------------------------------
Ooookay. I'm done. Sorry if you were offended or anything, I just need to get that off my chest. Yes, I am a Christian, no need to tease me about it, I get enough of that at school. ^^;;

So, er, have a nice day, then! XD

I don't think you offended anybody with this. In fact, if you did offend somebody, I'd be happy for it.
I'm so lucky that during my entire education I always went to places where what mattered was learning and being better than you were yesterday. US schools.... well, suck D= I had always thought of the tales as exagerated rumors or something, but reading what you have seen, well, damn, I can't believe people like that exists.

:hug:

Sorry to hear they are like that

XD You played the Syberia games?! I finished the last one about four weeks ago. *pokes you for just playin' it* x3

and that last paragraph in your rant-thinger is exactly how I feel. I really hate how morals are tossed aside and people just do whatever they want 'cause it feels good or 'cause it's fun, not because it's right or wrong and most of the time it's wrong. I keep feeling that one day I'll be pulled into it, luckly I have the sense that God is watching everything so I even think to myself that I won't get into those things because they're wrong and 'cause I think he's listening to my head. >->
:iconcrownflame:
I love, love, love Syberia ^^ Sokal is a genius!

Yeah, I'm glad there's some others out there who understand how I feel. ^^

Hmmm. I've always had a suspicion that I was born in the wrong place. ^^;; US peoples... er, don't really apperciate school all that much, and use it as a time to try to make their lives look like TV shows. If they're bored, they'll just dump their date or start a rumor, just because they want a little drama in their lives. -.-; It's really quite sad.

Thanks for reading, though, Dan. ^^ I really apperciate it!
