Notice to anybody who might care: I'm leaving for Europe for almost 2 weeks, during which time I'll not be able to log on. Just to let you guys know.

Thoughts on "If you had me alone, locked up in your room for 24 hours, and I had to do whatever you wanted me to do, what would you do with me?":
Wtf are we supposed to say to that? What is anyone going to do with someone for 24 hours in the same room? There's no mention of any other sorts of games in the room. It's like they're going for one answer and one answer only, and it drives me up the wall :P

:( All my video players keep breaking. None of them play a whole, clear image anymore. And I have no clue why this is.

o.O And on a later note, I run across a house that has the whole '96% don't stand up for God' thing in huge, red letters. And later, I see a) a huged "support gay marraige" thing, and b) a pic of the person with only shorts and a bra on, asking how she looked.
I have to wonder exactly how this person is standing up for God -.-

My sister says: "I haven't killed anyone before, right? - Okay, bad example."

No joking, she said just that. Obviously intended in another way, but still, somewhat worrying :P

Heh, we were on speaking terms after a fight, then iippo commenteth:
09:43:46 iippo: You just gotsa love the internet: four frigging pages of comments about nerds tryign to prove that they are nerdier than the other ones. ("Oo look at me, I have read a book that doesn't have any pictures in it!! My mom gave me a cookie for it!!") This nerdyness-thing naturlich doesn't apply to Aradon, kayne, dela nor Silvie. (nor deus since he's obviously tEh coolness, nor peggy since she's far past nerd-age already, even though neither of them took part in the conversation). And funny me, I thought I told [The Color Megan] to leave. I agree with kayne, rules haven't changed. Random plarghs will be pwned and sent outta here. *fingers itch at the delete buttons*

Enter round two of the fight. Ought to be interesting :D

I did some more random 'googlisms' today. Google doesn't know about Aradon or iippo yet. Templar was a thing that used psionic storm while the Archon took out the drones. Silvie was a big girl at thirteen pounds, among other things. But Deus. Man. Some entries for Deus:

deus is a gift from god
deus is not god
deus is potentially a false god
deus is like "my sister=my clock"
deus is a very sacred and powerful energy system that originates from the central rainforest of brazil
deus is an experience that is like reading a choose your own adventure novel
deus is definitely a must have
deus is one hell off a game
deus is touring? this is the place
deus is one of them
deus is resurrected
deus is right
deus is not really two syllables

>.< For some strange reason I have an aversion to the word 'mint' when used as 'neat' or 'cool'. It's like, "blah blah blah is mint.'  <.< "It's minty? Like, if I eat it, it makes my breath turn cold and such?"
I can't understand for the life of me how it became synonomous with 'cool', and it irks me to see it used.

Well, maybe newest work with Terragen will suffice. Enough post-processing to make me irritated that it didn't come out better, but I'm showing it off to my mailing group, so the comments & critique will fix that mistake for next time, I'm sure. (reference to previous entry)

Must make something worth showing off, soon, else my uselessness will drive me crazy o.O
Question is, what. I don't exactly have any writing ideas to put up in WC, and Terragen annoys me, right now, so I don't really know what else to do... Dunno if music will work. *wants to play Guild Wars*

Oh, apologies to people who actually read this diary for all the useless entries I've made recently. I'm getting a bit stir-crazy, methinks...

>.< Ugh. Do pain medications inhibit one's ability to think straight?
Have to write a paper for Lit class, due on Monday, and it's not a good thing that it's already Sunday, and I've been on painkillers all weekend from getting my wisdom teeth out. Maybe my teacher'll accept it as an excuse if I bring half the paper finished, and explain the circumstance. It's always a possibility, but I'd much prefer to not be behind at all, as a matter of self-pride more than pragmaticism.

What irks me more is that I've been walking around, acting as if nothing's wrong, like I didn't have surgery on my mouth on Friday. I certainly don't feel any different, except for a slight light-headedness, so I hardly feel it's acceptable to be making excuses not to do the work, when I've certainly been doing the playing. Meh, maybe I ought to just get some more sleep -.-

*hates being disabled*



Update: A half-day later, with a good bit of rest, and I finish the essay, and feel great. I did just need to get some more sleep :D

*spoiler warning, regarding Advent Children*

I think that many teens could learn a lot from analyzing Cloud during the movie. Especially at the end. Throughout, Cloud tries to seek forgiveness, and eventually forgive himself, because he feels guilty for Aeris' death, even though it was not his fault ("I have never once blamed you" -Aeris). However, Aeris was dead, and Cloud was not. And Zack, Cloud's best friend and Aeris' original boyfriend, was dead too. The end of the movie, the last ten seconds, shows Aeris walking off with Zack into the lifestream, leaving Cloud behind. Now, if the same were to happen to most teenagers, you can imagine the ensuing jealousies, hatreds, feuds, etc. But what does Cloud say? "Yes. I'll be alright now. I'm not alone." He forgives him. He finds peace. It's a happy ending, even though Cloud loses Aeris, seeing her walk off with his best friend.
Message in the movie: Life deals you curveballs, but you can't let it drag you down and cause you to be unhappy. Accept life as it comes, and make the best of it.

If only people could let things go, rather than attempt to find a reason to hate. Most adolescents would hate their friends for stealing their girlfriends, but Cloud's mature attitude left everyone happy and at peace. If only people stopped holding grudges and looking for hate, there would be considerably less conflicts. Peace for goodness sakes, is what people want, so why do they keep looking for conflict?

Possible reason why I get so depressed from logging into ET often: Monotony kills me. I like to do things with purpose. It brings meaning into what I do. When I log into ET repeatedly, it's mainly because I don't have anything to do -.-

That, and I've seemed to develop a monopoly sort of system on likes. If one person in my family likes something, it kinda rules out me admitting to liking it too. It's kinda strange. Worst with my sister. I can't ever agree to like anything she likes already, for some reason. Though I have to admit, lots of it is actually decent, like D&N Angel. As cheesy as it sounds, and with some of it's plot stuff, there's actually a good bit of contrast & irony in the story.

Worry/rantage about religion
Meaning it's rambling that won't make much sense, but some things I just have to type out to understand myself. And it's not exactly worthwhile for others to read, I'd bet.



(My apologies if any of the following are wrong- I'd never claim to be an expert on Celtism or Buddhism)

A true Christian loves God.
A true Celtic loves Nature.
A true Buddhist loves Peace and Justice.
A true pair of newlyweds love each other.
A true philanthropist loves mankind.

If I am to love God, then, as a Christian, first and formost, what about Nature? What about Peace and Justice? What about mankind? At mass, I heard a reading describing that absolutely nothing was to get in between me and God, using marraige an example. If falling in love would detract love from God, I should avoid it, it claimed. However, what of the others? I can't ignore mankind, I can't ignore peace and justice, and it'd be difficult to ignore nature as well.

Christianity and Buddhism and Celtism are exclusive, are they not? I can't follow Buddhism, because it would detract from God. But what about peace and justice? God teaches those as well- are they really mutually exclusive? Could one be part of each? A blend of religions and philosophies? Part Catholic to follow and love God our Creator, part Buddhist for the emphasis on it's beliefs, part Celtic for a respect to nature, married to love another person. Of course, Catholicism, if none of the others, would say that it was blasphemy to follow a mixture of religions.

In summary, I've been told I have to put God first, and everything else (like peace, justice, and love) have to come in second, to be Christian. These things are obviously important, though, and other religions seem to have better priorities than Christianity. Saddens me. My faith in the institution is weakened, but my personal faith is strong.

Whatever I follow, it doesn't match the Bible very completely. However, my faith has always been in what I've felt, and not what I've been told by a priest. They often have good advice, but I have to say that my path isn't strictly Catholic. I wish it was, but I have to follow what I feel is right, or else I'd be no better than a brainwashed mime.

I pray that Catholicism finds proper footing again, I feel it strays from the path of God.

Quothe a house:
A girl and guy were speeding, on a motorcycle, over 90 mph on the road..

Girl: Slow down. I’m scared.

Guy: No, this is fun.

They both DIED!

o.O Templar seems obsessed with girls, oddly enough. Anyone who knows him in real life, and quite possible those who know him on the internet could easily tell you that the chances of him getting a girlfriend are slim. But he's obsessed with them anyways. Probably explains why he likes reading stories with love plots in them, since he can't get a girlfriend himself :P

On the topic, though, I have to note that people seem obsessed with them at my age, invariably. And then lots of emos get all depressed when they break up with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Well, I'm bordering (but not even close- kinda like the edge of a knife, type thing) depressed, and I'd have to conjecture that I'd feel the same, if I were to break up. Strange thing is, I'd be returning to my current state, if I were to lose a girlfriend, and honestly, I'm darn happy as it is. So why would I fall below here? To lose something I had gained would not make me fall lower than before I had it. *thinks this is something the boyfriend-happy people ought to know*

Well, last time I try this 'render at 3x normal size' idea. Terragen froze after 3+ hours of rendering. The entire program shut down. Now I have nothing to show for a whole afternoon's effort.
