Bleh. The picture's all blurry. And huge. And amateurly edited to remove the blue. Does it look better than the one I've got up at my house right now?

o.O And chain letters suck. Mostly for the sender. Observe, as someone attempts to send me one. Note in particular, the mood, which occurred after our conversation.

My apologies for the foul language.

<insert annoying chain letter that had the typical 'scroll down', 'say this', 'think of that', 'you'll get your dreams', and of course the story examples of people doing it and people not- the typical chain letter>

You forgot the story about the kid who sent 50 messages in Elftown and, rather than getting all he wanted, was BANNED. And you get reported. Add that to however many other messages you sent, and you get x number of reports. Moral: Don't send chain letters. They just bother people.

Great comeback. Real witty. I'm sure it took a genius to come up with that one. Oh, the originality is superb.But you did know that chain letters are banned on Elftown, didn't you?

Well, I guess you won't miss it that much if you get banned, then. But why not put your energies towards making it better rather than worse by not filling it with chain messages and doing other things.

You're the one who messaged me in the first place. Any real reason for messaging me? Or was it just to spread that chain message that only bothers people?

Me, no. You said you sent me a message just to annoy me. You must have had some reason for wanting to annoy me in specific, so you must have known me from somewhere. I'm curious where. I've made lots of enemies already, so I'm curious to know where they're coming from.

And your point is? Just to be irritating?You know, people who only try to irritate other people really don't make that good impressions, and in general there can't be much said in their favor.

That was interesting enough. Had a costume concert for Halloween on Saturday. My mom put together this great costume, and I made a cardboard sword for it. Only one or two people from the concert knew who I was, but I went to a party that my sister's friend held. They were a year or two younger than me, and mostly all anime-obsessed, so most of them recognized me dressed up as Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children). A few interesting not-too-weird people there. I'll have a few pictures up when I get them developed, but my mom only used the non-digital camera, and it's a new roll of film, so we can expect to wait past Christams :/
But it was fun, and the costume's über ^^

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. Admittedly, their ads certainly catch the eye, and I'm sure lots of people can't help but to stare at their ads invariably featuring a scantily clad lady looking flirtatious.
But it bothers me that places are so shallow, and yet they are so effective in marketing to people these days.

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...

A note on Goths, provided courtesy of I hate Posers.

I hate posers has provided me with some enlightenment as to the true nature of goths. I was perusing their collection of links, and clicked one because it's url contained 'Religious Tolerance'. Hoping for a laugh, I read the article, and got my laugh. Among their numerous quotes, I found a great attempt at defining the goth subculture. It interested me greatly, because, while they all claimed they were horribly stereotyped and labeled, goths were invariably unable to define it for themselves. So the article went:

What is the Goth culture?

It is basically indefinable, because "Goth" means different things to each follower.

At this point, I laughed, and stopped reading. If that's the best they can do to define 'goth', it can't qualify as a culture. Heck, why not be the first goth-Catholic, and I'll define 'goth' as a follower of God, believing in all things pure and holy. Yeah, like I'll fit in to the Goth society. In truth, if I wished to do this, I could. I could manipulate their ideals and what they believe and fit right in. But the facts are, if they can't define 'goth', and anyone could fit right in by redefining it for themselves, they are not, in fact, a subculture, because they posess no unifying qualities that are the same across the board, by this definition. Nothing holds them together save for the title 'goth'. This brings me to conclude that joining this group 'goth' is meaningless, and merely a fad. Yes, a fad. It is not a culture, by the definition given. Those who wish to disagree, please, by all means, give me a better definition to work with.

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 -.-

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/areas where countless die. They die in concentration camps because Hitler didn't like them for their views. They die in abortion clinics because their mothers would be inconvenienced by their existence.

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

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-arrangement forum?

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.
