Sometimes people feel like they're entitled, so to speak, to be a bit rash, such as when they're going through a particularly difficult time. The obvious extra stress seems to make it reasonable and expectable that you'd explode. Everyone else around you knows that you're stressed out by external factors and is more agreeable to you, even when you sort of explode.

I think that the understanding and expecting aspect of this is the main cause, not the stress. People feel like they're allowed to explode sometimes, so they don't bother not exploding, even if, stress taken into account, they normally wouldn't explode at the time.

Case in point: my dad's temper is awfully short, and I think it's because he thinks that's alright, not because he's irritated more than usual -.-

[Mekashef] could've helped write Good Omens without any loss of quality. If he ever becomes an author and publishes anything, I want to read it :)

I love the title the most, though.

*cries* Elftown refused my password. I can't freaking log into Elftown with Qwerty anymore, because it's too common. That was my favorite password. Elftown should mind its own business and let people who want simple passwords get hacked -.-

Message to all: Elftown might loose its network for some minutes today. It will be back quickly hopefully...

And after the network is loosed upon the world, there is no telling what can stop it :D

How the heck could I really be born in a family as self centered as mine? I won't say anything about my siblings, I think they're turning out fairly well for the most part, but my parents do nothing but complain about everything. They take personal offense at the slightest thing, even if it was unintentional, and feel as if they were gods themselves. Of course they could never be wrong, and they always know how to do everything better. My goodness, to hear them talk about how incompetent their doctors are, you would think they ought to be the doctors themselves! How about a little respect for people?

Pfft, and I think that if my dad wants more help around the house, he could be a little less sarcastic towards us when we aren't bowing to his every whim -.-

Ugh, sorry to random watchers, I just really wanted to type something out about it >.<

I can't tell if this was just an accident, and intentional copy, or too much Robert Jordan at work in his subconcious:

Exactly :P I'm not insane; I can tell that the voices aren't real, but it's often a good idea to listen to them.
Though I don't like the font >.<

Music Theory is awesome, except for the part about key signatures. I can never get them right very easily, especially not minor keys. In any case, the class is only 13 people, and we're in the band room, which is big enough to house all their band of one class for rehearsal, which amuses me. Sometimes it's so lax in that class that I start to think it's an after-school event, and then I get confused when I hear the orchestra across the hall practicing, because if there's an after school rehearsal for orchestra, I need to be there :D

Random thing that I decided to copy-paste out of homework procrastination and because I thought it was interesting that it wasn't the usual stalker's preferred bad-habits quiz.

Humm... The poll on Mainstreet makes me want to try something out. I was going to answer it for when I make stuff on the computer, since I don't draw, but then I realized I do quite a number of them seperately, and the product is no doubt affected as a result. I want to try doing one for each option in the poll, and comparing the results. Dunno when I'll have time for it, though, considering I have school + Fire Emblem + Guild Wars: Factions + Fantasma. If I were to choose between those, Fire Emblem wins over making art :D

Heh, every time I see that Deus has changed his house, I end up just hoping for his sake that he kept the previous one intact on some obscure page for future reverting reference.

I'm not Asian:

Magmasama: on your synopsis
Magmasama: did you do a title line?
Magmasama: if I can get rid of a title line
Magmasama: I get back 2 lines....
Aradon Templar: Nope
Magmasama: hmm...
Aradon Templar: I stuck the bibliographic info at the top
Aradon Templar: Then, 'Synopsis' :D
Aradon Templar: I, unlike you, was trying to create lines
Magmasama: ah
Magmasama: I'm trying to
Magmasama: GET RID OF THEM DESPERATELY
Magmasama: see
Aradon Templar: XD

Will be out until this Thursday evening, won't be on here until Friday no doubt.
My family decided it was a great time to go camping, and we almost got away with not going >.<

Whhhhy are there so many pictures on Mainstreet?
And has anyone else noticed they show drawings now, too, rather than just photos?

I think I want to coin a term:
Hiccough: v. A short disconnection from the internet, lasting no more than five minutes, that effectively shuts down a certain website/program/process requiring a continuous connection.
Example: I was logged off of Guild Wars just before the mission ended, forcing me to do the mission all over again, because my internet hiccoughed.
Elftown has a tendency to hiccough a lot, especially when editing wikipages, making me copy my edit data and redo the whole edit.
Messenger enjoys a good hiccough, especially when you actually feel like using it to talk with your friends.

Looking back, it seems I've changed again (curse the inconstancy of humans! :P) from what I was maybe a year and a half ago. Back then, I considered all Christians as allies, and Catholics as good ones. And those who weren't Christian were almost enemies, in my eyes. Lines have shifted, now. Instead, I regard those with a functioning intellect as friends worthy of my respect, regardless of religious alignment.

I think this is mainly because I'm more concerned with the ideals behind religion, such as justice, morality, and of course, wisdom. After a while, I came to realize that just because someone was Christian it didn't mean they were moral people, or were concerned with purity, and especially didn't mean they were intelligent. Instead, people with intelligence seem to have more integrity, but they simply don't all worship God. Of course, I still think this is a pity, but they are more in the right than the wayward worshippers who are Christians in name only.

And besides that, intelligent people can write three whole sentences without making a typo. This is much easier on the mind :)

Hurrah, photobucket seems to be wreaking havoc on the world. Its images are starting to be deleted (for not viewing them in a year, I think), and all those stale banners and gifs that people clutter their houses with are breaking! :D

And, photobucket is being bad by using materials uploaded to them without notifying artists. I should have read through that contract, I now realize :P
