Bah. I dislike those 'dating service' sites and their ads, specifically True's. Because apparently "True love", "dating", and "happiness" equate to having sex. That's all they can seem to portray in their advertisements
But it bothers me that places are so shallow, and yet they are so effective in marketing to people these days.
*sigh* There's just something wrong with a 13-year old posing in a bikini for a camera, trying to look hot.
Bleah. Talk about getting addicted. If any of you think Elftown is bad, don't even think about playing on Imperian. I'm gonna have to cut back on that sort of thing now, and consequently a little more on ET. So yeah. Less of me on ET soon, though I'll still probably get on daily...
*chuckles*
"Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out."
Is it just me, or is it really odd that I found someone whose house had a wiki advertisement section which, in one line advertised anti-racism, and the next line down advertised anti-nazis?
Is it just me, or is that a bit incongruent? Is it bad to discriminate based on race, but perfectly fine to discriminate based on beliefs?
I can see a difference there, but I don't think the difference is great enough to qualify -.-
Self-notary, for an mIRC battle-bot.

<Aradon> The last four could possibly be enchanted to give you a weapon in your hand of the respective type, replacing whichever it would normally be placed in (scabbard - melee, amulet - magic, quivers - ranged, trinket - buff)
<Aradon> Prices might want to be upped, some, I kinda viewed 25K as a limit (note the only one that is 25K is my broom pendant :D)
<Aradon> If you don't like any, I'll think of some replacements. Some of those really were kinda lame
<Aradon> Like 6 and 7 (a kartoffel is a potatoe in German ;) )
I think this merits diarying:
An idea that would be uber for a story, less so for an RP, but something I'd like to continue writing perhaps.
Concept being that the 'heavens', or sky, is actually a flat plane above the world where Angels live, in large numbers, much like the humans. Technology is advanced, to the point of teleportation over small distances is bringing the two worlds into disastrous contact. Small contacts have been made in the form of Angels visiting Earth on a few occasions, usually low profile, but now there is contact and conflict rising in some parts. While it has been known on both sides of each others' existance, few wanted much to do with the other. Now, transportation has been made to carry people from the ground to the sky.
Probably gonna write an intro to this story at Templar's Notepad. About time there's some decent stuff in there, rather than some of the lesser quality weirdness I've stuffed in there.
I seem to write a lot of interesting, or possibly lesser interesting things in here. Too bad I can't live five or six more times, with different childhood influences, so as to write these all over again, but about different topics.
Then again, maybe there are lots of people who write interesting things like me in their diaries, and I don't have to write them myself. *wonders which house numbers they are* :P
One will have to wonder if one day the world will come to its senses concerning abortion, and actually react. Would it have the same stigma, people looking at abortion clinics like they do concentration camps? The concept is the same: buildings/area
There is a striking similarity that many people would want to overlook. They rationalize in this by claiming that they aren't sentient beings yet. But in effect, they still prevent life by killing that growth into life.
In another, someone odder comparison, that's like saying that destroying a $10 investment that would definately mature into a $1,000,000 is perfectly fine, because it is only $10. Think, people, and stop rationalizing.
Every time I remove that notice about no 'hi' messages, I am quickly reminded why I should have left it up >.<
Random people say 'hey', and expect me to start a conversation! It's like, they expect me to actually be social o.O
*is busy being very antisocial in terms of conversations*
So, yeh. People messaging me, unless you can find one of the rare topics I'm interested in (no, I'm not going to tell you them), expect interactions with me to be brief. I'm always glad to answer questions, but casual conversation isn't my thing.
...
Not that anyone who simply writes 'hi' messages reads diary entries either, so my apologies for preaching to the choir here. View it more as a rant :P

My goodness ally writes a lot of diaries... hehe. *was just browsing randomly through them*
And a turn around from last post. In Utopia, we have a change of plans, and we're going to wave 6:45, and then see if we can handle 1:41. 6:45's a piece of cake; I got their CB's entirely with only one failed spell attempt.
The forums are just odd. More like a singular forum, despite the separate topics. It's supposed to be linear, with the topic only to hint at a change of discussion. See, once that was clear to me, the forums made lots more sense. They still stink compared to other forum systems, but I can deal with them now...
:/
I honestly hate the forums with all my heart. They are the evilest part of Elftown. I just finished reading the lengthiest thread on there by thread (some 130 posts), and since I read them by thread it didn't count them as read. Honestly! What is wrong with a simple thread-arrange
On the other hand, my Utopia KD looks to be shaping up, or will be shaped up after the next war. Until then, I get a wizard pump.
*ish now on the RPG Realm Council and GM, which would be good except now he has to deal with forums -.-*
After any halfways decent movie, I always feel compelled to write something interesting or thoughtful. Probably because a good movie must convey powerful emotion in order to engage the audience.
Well, tonight, I just wanted to point out that if you feel no emotions, you have no life. Emotions are the most sensitive parts of ourselves, more personal than events that go on around us, even more sensitive than our five senses. If you have no connection with emotions, you cannot say you are even experiencing your life. Now I understand how people can be bitter and ruthless; those who kill their emotions are as good as dead. Yet they lack the respite of death, whether it be eternal sleep, unending nothingness, or life in another dimension. They are barred from what should come, and are forced to be living dead, feeling no connection to the world, and thus experiencing nothing. They are to be pitied, yet feared as well, for they are the type that have no pity or mercy, or even obey the laws of humanity. Why should they, when they are as good as dead?
Emotions keep people sane, humane, and living strong. Yet, powerful ones can drive people to extremes as well. However, they can still be said to be living, and are a good deal better off than the emotionally dead.
Life filled with emotion is a good one, and will bear good memories for the afterlife or old age. A life filled with simple memories will fade into fact and be dismissed as unimportant. A whole life, wasted. Keep your emotions strong.
(By the way, the movie I watched was The Terminator, for any who were curious.)

Ugh. Bad day. Extreme homework load, lots of important stuff tomorrow. Dead tired, got up really tired, worked my head off today, still didn't finish. Not in a good mood :P
On the other hand, in light of my recent decision that my sole perspective is limited, I'm now open to hear any criticisms of me that any of my friends have to say. This is your chance to tell me what's wrong with me, so send me a message. *ish looking for constructive criticism, or in fact any criticism, so as to be better in the perspective of everyone else*
On another hand (back to the first one, in case it wasn't clear that I didn't have three hands), Mithias is my new friend, and he is working on building a new ET-like community soley for RPers, which I plan on joining/crewin
