I don't know what it is about my window, perhaps someone slathered ladybug pheromones on it while I was sleeping. But right now there are five ladybugs on my window. They keep flying away, and more come.

Current Music: "Progress" by Guardians of the Earth [iTunes]

Impossible Room is based on a terrifying dream I had years ago in which I somehow got in to a place that could not exist, and by virtue of my being there, I could not exist either. Just think about the final statement there for about five minutes, I think you'll glimpse what I'm talking about. Meditate upon the ramifications of it. Pontificate, if you will.

Current Mood: Creeped Out
Current Music: "Late in the Evening" by Paul Simon on the album Negotiations and Love Songs [iTunes]

Well, I made it to immortality at last on CheesyMUD. No, their website isn't working. Anyway, this has been a year-long process, which is pretty good, I guess, considering that other people have been playing for three years and haven't made it yet. I plan to continue my exploits there and hopefully rise further up the ranks, until I'm so far up that I can overthrow the MUD from the inside. If any of you want to see me on Cheesy, you can go ahead and telnet in there at cheesymud.com:4001. If you don't have a telnet client, VersionTracker has a great listing, if you search for it.

Oh my, oh my. I woke up this morning with a terrible cold. I was fine all yesterday and last night, and then alluvasudden this morning it hits me like a two-ton heavy thing. I went to classes and that but I didn't learn anything, not because I couldn't concentrate but because there wasn't anything useful being taught. So in my 1100 crap computer class, right, the teacher was trying to make a pie chart in Excel. Now you've used Excel before, you know how easy it is to make a pie chart. But the teacher couldn't do it. It was... sad. Anyway, I'm hoping to feel better tomorrow. If not, I'm sure not going to class.

So, I'm sitting here in CIST 1100. That sounds basic, and believe me, it is. They say it's an intro to computers for computer majors, but it's more of a "how to use the mouse" class. Example:

Teacher: "Okay, class. This is the power button. It turns on the computer."
Student: "Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone. The power button?"

Current Mood: Pained

I made another desktop picture, it happens to be called Alone. As always, let me know what you think. And, as always, no one will. *shrugs*

Current Mood: Hungry

I have created a new picture called Eyes. Let me know what you think, as always, although no one ever does. Well, I think Sarah did once. *sniffles sadly*

In other news, the internet here is so terrible that it is literally worse than being on dialup. At least dialup is reliable, if slow. However, here it is hit or miss. The internet may or may not work, and it seems to be pretty random. It really makes me angry because what should have taken less than five minutes to post this picture took more than twenty-five. How can a high-tech dorm such as mine have so many problems with their internet?

Current Mood: Angry

I have two videos of my room, you might be interested in them. You might also not be interested in them. Since this server be all slow an' junk, I slapped them on my .mac server. However, they are rather large, so if you're not on broadband (I can't think of anyone who would care who isn't), it'll be hard to watch. The first movie is of my bedroom, and the other is of my dorm as a whole. I'm fixing to do a walkthru of the hallways and lounge area, and possibly the parking lot and the outside of the building.

As you can see from those videos (or possibly not see, if you are blind or don't care about them), I am well settled and my roommates are gigantic losers.

Current Mood: Slightly tired
Current Music: "Missing" by Everything but the Girl [iTunes]

There is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.
A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to rebuild.
A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance.
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
A time to search and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak up.
A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.

Current Music: "Together We Will Conquer" by Paul Van Dyk on the album Out There And Back [iTunes]

I've been packing my things for about the past four hours. My room looks all horrible and empty now with all the posters down. I've got a lot of my things in boxes but there's quite a bit more. I didn't realize I had so much stuff. And I'm leaving a lot behind, too. It occurs to me that most people are excited and happy to be leaving home, but I'm not. It makes me sad. I walk around the house, and I think, "Man. I grew up here. I've got so much history, I can look at anything in this house and think of two or three events related to it." Pulling out all the stuff from my desk and drawers and out from under my bed just keeps making me think of all the time I've spent here. It's not that I'm afraid of going to a new place, I'm really not, and when I think about it I am sort of excited about setting up my new room and that. I just don't want to leave. Maybe it's that I don't want to forget what's shaped me to where I am now, forget all the things that have happened in my life until now.

Or maybe I'm just a loser, or something.
