Ok so I just had to post this. My thanks goes to my friend Charly for this one. Lord knows where she found it. You Are Lame

ROFL a quiz I plucked from Meg

Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis. "You do not know the power of the Dark Side." There are two possibilities: you are a Star Wars geek, or you are unreasoningly scary.

Which Weird Latin Phrase Are You?

Wow, those were some great quizes today. So yeah not much exciting going on. Spent my weekend doing nothing when I really should have been doing something. But meh, I just won't sleep this week. I'm tired of caffeine withdrawl anyways. So this morning I have a nice big cup of coffee in front of me soothing my craving. Ah, the joys of caffeine addiction.

Kinda sucks I've been in a real funk lately and I can't explain it other than I'm just tired with my situation. I'm tired of being in a program that I'm not happy with, I'm tired of being in a place that rains, no drizzles all the time and occasionally rains. Maybe this is just seasonal depression or something, that might explain it. I haven't really had any arch classes this term so I don't see why that would be bothering me. In fact I should be happy. Why am I not happy damn it! I should be, I've finally gotten past the fact that I'm the only single person amongst my friends and can now freely spend time with them without getting depressed. I'm actually being happy in my singleness, then again I've been contemplating moving in a few months so attaching myslef to someone would be really bad. "myslef?" wow that's a new one for me. I kinda like it though so I think that I shall leave that typo alone.

Ok so last night I realized something really odd. I have two friends who have the similar problem, but are on different ends of it. Take 1 former BF who's dating this cool girl who's parents don't like him, think he's a loser, and actually are very overprotective of her to begin with and so give her grief about anything involving him. Take 1 friend who's dating this cool guy. Her parents are being overprotective of her and won't let her go move in with him (location aside) and are giving her grief about anything involving being with him. Now while those situations aren't quite the same, they are similar in the overprotective parent part and I'm getting both angles of it. It's really weird.

Ok I think thats enough blogging for now. I should probably get some work done now.

lol I like the All Benevolent Dictator's quote of the day:
"Ah, gamer girls. Is there any more coveted and valuable resource in this world? Yes. But after oil, platinum, or nuclear weapons, they come in a respectable fourth, far ahead of crayons and marshmallows."

Ok so the guys at Penny Arcade found this, but I just had to link it here for anyone who doesn't read their rants, or just missed it. Mario 1, Mario 2 and Mario 3. Those are the only three done that they've found. Damn cool though, I like the second one the best. And make sure you have sound when you watch them, the sound really makes a difference.

Wow I feel so out of the loop. Everyone I know is using Live Journal. I'm like the only one now that hasn't switched. But I refuse, I like my pita damn it! It has become unique. That and dini is taken on LJ so I see no reason to switch.

Anyways, things are moving along slowly. I've got lots of paperwork for Westwood that I need to get done by tomorrow night. I've got Star Wars tonight otherwise I'd do it now. Tomorrow I shall have all afternoon to get it done.

Lately I've been lucky enough to have the chance to talk to my Charly online. She's in my SWG guild and we just kinda hit it off. She's cool, I like talking with her. It's unfortunate though that she lives in NY. Course she's actually from Ireland just going to school in NY, so in a couple of years she'll be even farther away. Makes me sad ;_;

Well that's all for now. Nothing much exciting going on. Actually nothing exciting at all. Yeah.

Meh, I hate caffeine withdrawl. Got home last night at 9pm, ate food and drank a soda. Mt. Dew none-the-less. I had finished eating and such by about 10:15 and by 10:30 I was out like a light. Caffeine is normally supposed to wake you up, but I guess for me part of the withdrawl symptons is to put me to sleep. I already know what the overdose does, and that is not a happy thing. I feel fine so far this morning, but who knows how I'll feel later when my body realizes that there isn't enough caffeine in my system and begins to shut down.

On a random thought, I just remembered that I had a really funky dream last night. I don't really remember any of it except for this one part where I was talking with Meg and I could overhear this conversation between two other people who were discussing which blogs/livejournals they read. It was a guy and a girl and the guy was talking about how he read the blogs named Spasticity, Manic Love, and Parasytical Leeching and I think that was when I interrupted him and asked him about them before finally telling him that Spasticity was my blog. Then I think my alarm went off and I woke up. Very strange.

I think I'm gonna cry, I'm such a fucking idiot. Too many things in my hands and when I drop my keys instead of leaving them there and setting things down first like a smart person I bend over to get them and drop my lighsaber. It's now scratched. I am such a fucking idiot it's not even funny. I'm now really pissed at myself for doing this. I'd throw stuff but I don't have anything that I'm really willing to throw. I alrady threw my keys at my backpack. Although that didn't help. God I hate myself right now.

So yeah had a pretty boring weekend. Spent most of it at home except for Saturday night when I went over to Joseph and Jens and watched Shanghi Noon with them. That was fun. It also allowed me to show off my new Nintendo sweatshirt I have. It's very bright red and has the Nintendo logo on it in white. It's very cool, I love it. I shall now stand out in a crowd instead of blend in. MWAHAHAHAHA *cough*

Friday something sorta exciting happened to me, I was run into by a guy on a bycicle. Fortunately he wasn't going very fast but I now have this lovely gash with a bruise ringing it on my leg. Doesn't really hurt, it's just in one of those spots that you normally never hit, but once you get a bruse or scrape or something there you hit it all the time. So it's more annoying than anything else.

Star Wars club meeting tonight, I'm excited. Although I just remembered that Eric mentioned someone challenging me to a debate about Episode 1, but he never got back to me on if that was actually happening or not. Suppose I can just prepare in case.

Yeah I thought about that a lot Sam. If I were going for just a regular multimedia degree I'd go for a msters definately. However I have found a very specialized program on Game Art and Design that is a bachelors program only. If it were offered as a masters I would definately finish arch first. The other problem I'm running into is money. It's going to be hard enough money wise to continue goinging to school for another 3 years. If I had in-state tuition here I would continue on for that last year, but paying ,000 a year to go here is tough, however next year I won't have my scholarship so it'll go up to ,000 for the year just for school alone. That doesn't include increases due to lack of school funding now so most likely I'll be paying ,000 extra on top of whatever I have to pay for grad school. But again it all depends. If I do get into the Game Art and Design program I'll still have a bachelors and so it won't really matter that much that I droped one degree for another. However if I don't get into that program then I definately want to finish arch as quickly as possible and get into a grad program in multimedia. This whole thing has been giving me a headach since I first realized it all. The other problem is that I've become so miserable in architecture that I'm not even sure if I could come up with good enough designs to finish the program. At this point I really just want to get out and start over. I'm sick of architecture, I'm sick of Eugene, and I'm sick of this damn weather. The only things really holding me here are my friends.

Bleh, life is too damn complicated right now and I don't know WTF to do. Ok so a few weeks ago I had an epiphany. I suddenly realized that the little nagging voice in the back of my head that was telling me that I really want to continue with architecture was right. Why the hell didn't I realize this sooner? Well I have this thing about not quitting and I didn't want to quit so I kept telling myself that I was wrong, that I did want to continue with architecture. But alas in the end I have decided that architecture is not for me. Now comes the hard part, what the fuck do I do now? (or WTFDIDN as I like to say) Ok so I want to leave Oregon, that's a given. Granted I'll miss all my friends and don't want to leave them, but I'm getting sick of the weather and sever lack of jobs. That and I'll have a much easier chance getting a job in California doing multimedia work than I will here. Well that along with the fact that California doesn't have the highest unemployment rate in the U.S. unlike Oregon. I also need a change of pace. I feel the need to get away and start over. Besides all of which most of my friends will be leaving by the end of next year anyways. If not it'll give me a convenient excuse to come back and visit.

So right now my dilemma is this: so I'm guaranteed to stay up here for next year because I won't be able to get into another school until after then as it is. So do I A) complete my arch degree (which I won't use) and go to grad school spending the extra k to go here for that last year, B) drop out and try to find a job (haha) and go to an undergrad program instead, or C) flee the country. Well ok so C isn't really an option. But it's posing quit the problem for me because I am soooo close to finishing architecture, I'm all of 1 class and 3 studios away from graduating. I could always petition to take Fall/Winter terminals studio and get out a term early, which would save money. The thing is if I can't take any mulitmedia classes that could possibly transfer over then there really isn't any point in me continuing to take classes. Meh, it's all too confusing.

You know you never realize how much you can take something small such as, oh the sun for granted until you've lived in Eugene for a few years. The constant bombardment with rain, sleet, snow, ice rain, hail, and any other of the 20 million water based projectiles that hurle themselves at Eugene makes you really appreciate the few minutes during the year when they aren't there. Now while it is true that it only rains 90% of the time here that extra 10% is taken up by clouds, or fog, or something else that is just as water based as rain. Of course this only happens when the rain needs a break from falling and decides to just float around and relax after a hard months work of falling on people and getting them wet. If I didn't know any better I'd swear I lived in Atlantis. Today, however was different. For some reason the water particles that were hovering about today in the form of fog all morning decided to go on vacation and actually leave us with some sun. I was so shocked when I saw that orangeish yellow ball of light in the sky that I almost thought armageddon was upon us. Then I remebered back to my memories of being outside of this state and remembered that the orangeish yellow ball floating in the sky was the sun. That thing that normally everything need to survive except in Eugene. In Eugene everything thrives off of water because there is no sun. I guess the ecosystem adapted and plants now use hydrosynthesis instead of photosyntesis here.

Anyways, the sun is out and I am happy.
