My audition for AiS that I had only sent in a message to Ferox, but never posted. I wanted to make sure I had a copy saved, so I'm putting it here. <3



Deep within the halls of the Mountain Lords, the High Lord has called a joining of the greatest dwarven druids and clerics, to divine the source of the coming darkness from the Elfin lands... You stumble into this sacred procession, and watch in awe as the ceremony progresses.. Suddenly, a vile blackness sweeps across the stone-hewn floors, and horrifying beasts descend upon the dwarves as they work their magic...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Audition(Niari):

The observer's lips pull back, their corners twisting upwards into a cruel grin as his lips part revealing pointed canines; his tongue sweeps quickly over a salty lip before this sinister smile widens further. His dark complexion comaflages him from view, though, his cold icy eyes pierce through the darkness. There was no pity here for the poor dwarves. Niari begain to laugh, a chuckle at first which ascended into malicious laughter which echoed throughout the stone hall as he watched the beasts descent upon the dwarves. He stepped foreward, into the hall, "Where is your mightly 'god' now? Foolish dwarves! To think that you could find a way to stop this..." Niari's expression contorts to utter disgust, as if something fowl had been placed beneath his nose, "Such inferior, pathetic creatures as yourselves would have been better leaving things be, and accepting your fate! What could such weak fools hope to achieve?!" He laughs again, looking on as dwarven blood was spilt. A dwarf, flung by one of the beast, lands infront of Niari, eyes pleading to be saved by a diety Niari knew could care less. He steped foreward. The dwarf registered that another being was near, and his eyes finally found Niari, and grew wide. Niari's expression was cool as he stepped foreward casually, and lifted his foot above the dwarves head, insane enjoyment shone in Niari's eyes as he watched the look of terror upon his new victims face, and amidst the chaos of the hall, the demon brought his foot down with enough force to shatter stone, releasing a loud cracking noise followed by a sound thick pudding might make after falling from a height....

Who wants to write my psychology assignment for me? >.>

In less than 4 pages, APA(American Psychological Association) format, predict how you think Humans will have cognitively evolved by the year 200,000, make sure you can support your idea's through natural selection, and that none of them are cultural. 

That is basically what my paper is to be written on.

Sounds easy huh?

Now really THINK about it. It's how we evolve cognitively. It means internally, as in your mind and thought process. This means you must becareful to exclude all things cultural or you will lose marks. Meaning you can't write anything about evolving through technology...because thats artificial. Cybernetic implants? Genetic Engineering? Nope. Neither allowed. Even genetic engineering is artificial, and not natural.

If we want to write that the human race becomes more intelligent...how?

You have to differentiate between inherited intelligence through DNA, and learned intelligence. Someone naturally born smart scores 100% on a test. Someone born not smart, from non smart parents, also scores 100% because his intelligence is learned, he studied well and earns high marks despite not being born smart. If this individual goes on to pass his DNA on to offspring, they do NOT inherit his learned intelligence...they only get the non smart gene. Therefore humans can not evolve to become smarter through what their parents have learned. They can only achieve this through someone naturally smart bearing children with someone else who is also naturally smart to slowy make the next generations smarter and smarter, bit by bit.

So in order for your prediction that humans become more intelligent, you have to create a plausible scenerio where for some reason, smart people reproduce more that dumb people to pass on more of their DNA to the next generation.....chances are...dumb people aren't going to just choose to stop having children, so saying in your paper that smart people have more children than dumb ones isn't going to work. >.>

The scenerio you create doesn't have to be likely either. Someone last year handed in a paper on Aliens invading the Earth, and survival of the fittest that way, and apparently got a pretty good mark on it.

I have an idea for the topic I may write on...but I have to track down Chaston first and run it by him first to make sure I have the idea straight. The man gets a kick out of watching his students squirm when he makes their brains melt with science. He has admitted that he is a little evil. >.>

ARGH. Due freaking Wednesday. I don't wanna write the abstract either. Due the same day as my freaking art assignment too. >.> Still haven't taken pictures for that...I don't know where to go around here to get good ones. >.>

Hahahaha! This article is about some research my psychology and cognitive strategies teacher did. XD Theres even a clip, if you click it, click the thing saying your under 13, then you don't have to register to watch it. XD He showed us this in class, and thought it was rather amusing because for a few weeks he got a lot of media attention on a two page article he and some other guy wrote after some research. XD Seriously though, he's a cool professor, his classes are actually interesting and make you look forward to going. >.>

I have the flu/fever. I keep getting coldsweats, pains in my stomach, and wanting to just pass out. >.> I have class in the morning...then another class 5-7...which is my first stagecraft class, which I'll probaly be skipping, so I'll go to art, go get student loan sheets straightened out, then go home. >.> Hopefully I won't be dead by then.

First day of college. >.> Though I'm listed as a VA student...I'm only doing 1 fucking art course...because I have to upgrade english they wouldn't put me into any of the other art courses that had writting, and conflicted with the english schedule...so I'll be doing more art next semester hopefully, and I don't even have a loan yet...don't know if I'll be able to get it or not either.

...My orientation package came complete with a pretty red lubricated condom. XD

:O I had Japanese for dinner. First time ever. XD I ate at a place called Edo Japan, and had Chicken Yakisoba. O.O It was good. They didn't have ramen or sushi. >.> Theres another Japanese restaurant here somewhere though. Omg, the cute asian guys. >.> Mrow. Good looking guys in general. o.O Lots of 'em. X.X *dies*

I think I got looked at. o.O I never got looked at at home. And jeez, the girls dress skankier here too. >.> They look like hoes. >.>

We went to a superstore place to get groceries. And I guess since there is such a high population of asian's in west canada, they had a lot of asian foods, the noodles in what I had at the restaurant were u-don noodles, and we found some at the store. Lots of food items from different cultures. Sorry if i sound like a total clueless moron, but it's very different from where I'm from...it's like probaly 98% caucasian there, unlike here.

There are cool stores...couldn't really look or go in a lot of them today, I think we're going again tomorrow. So I'll get to look around. They had the manga series I was looking for. Except the volumes I actually don't have. >.>

My brother has no style or sense in interior design. This is the most bland looking apartment....I put out some of my ordaments, and candles(though I'm not allowed to light them. >.>) Just to make it look a bit better, and mom put out some pictures. O.O

Holy crap. The heat in town is nuts...ok, so it's a city...but it seems more like a large town, since the tallest buildings are the hotels...which arne't overly large. X.X I bet my back is burned.

Wee for having less than 2 hours sleep in the past 41 hours.

It was raining. It calls for lightning. >:D Apparently they get REAL thunder and lightning storms. And there was a huge full rainbow, with another faded out above. I have pictures. And pictures from the plane, but no current way of getting them on my brothers computer.

Also...Montreal is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The sun was setting when we landed there, and mostly dark out when we took off(I never left the plane), so I got to see it all lite up, and Calgary was nice too, but I likes Montreal more, it was gorgeous, I wish my camera didn't suck at taking pics at night, I would have took some.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!


^________^ It's a good day to be me.

I PASSED my driving test! PASSED!!!! :D Nailed both parrallel and angle parking on the FIRST try!!! :D I only had one mishap when the guy told me to go left, and I went right, but I did the turn right, went into the right lane and all that crap. XD I was so nervous. I was all shakey last night, and this morning. ^_^ I didn't run anyone over. SQUEEE!!!!! I'll get my license around 5:30 tonight. Mwehehe! Watch out people of Stephenville! >:D Leara's driving unsupervised! *faints*

Whee, I'll be going to St.Johns sometime within the week of August.15, that'll be a busy busy time, I'll be returning and leaving for Alberta a few days later. :P
