The daystar burns us...

Well, Yesterday was a particularly beautiful day. I even appreciated the sun and clear sky, for once, as I had to be out and about for a while, and it's not an unpleasant drive down to the grocery store. Of course, I had to put sun glasses on, so as not to hurt my eyes, but hey, is that any harder than a raincoat?
Yeah, I've started answering comments like, "geez it's really coming down out there" with "Yeah, isn't it great?" and a big grin.
I think it confuses people.

I haven't done a meme in a while....

9 lasts

-last place you were: Elsewhere (with a capital "E," Not to be confused with some perfectly mundane elsewhere)

-last soda: Mandarin Jarritos. Jarritos are made of Mexico and Win.


-last beverage: Non soda beverage, I take it? That would be milk. It usually is.

-last kiss: That'd be Kathy....just about exactly a year ago....give or take a few days..... D':

-last movie seen: Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Director's Cut. LOTR is HUEG LOL

-last cd played: Americana. (The Offspring)

-last bubble bath: This morning, actually, although I really just dumped liquid soap under the faucet...

-last time you cried: See four questions ago, add a month and fifteen days to get to the part where she called to say that she didn't think we were right for each other, but she's see me when she got back from Mexico, and she hoped we could "still be friends"

8 have you evers.

-have you ever dated someone twice: No, I have a tendency to burn my bridges behind me.

-have you ever been cheated on: I might have suspicions which I would go to a great deal of trouble not to confirm.

-have you ever kissed somebody and regreted it: No, I only regret the ones I didn't.

-have you ever fallen in love: Notice how we keep coming back to the same topic? Kathy.
Although, I suppose a strong argument could be made here for Karen. I only got over her when I met Kathy, and now, I really miss them both. Oh, and the bitterness.

-have you ever been depressed: Yeah, it even runs in my family, woohoo. I was depressed my Sophomore year in highschool, and even more so my first semester in college...over Karen, unsurprisingly. And then Kathy....but I've had plenty of time to get past that, and am now happily warm, fed, and uncomplicated.

-have you ever been drunk and thrown up: I've been drunk, but not puking drunk. And I've never had a hangover. Lucky me.

-have you ever hit another person: Hah. Yes. With improvised melee weapons, no less. ^^;

Concerning the nature of lies and the feline and elven languages and attitudes.

It has been noted by the great philosopher {Sits on the Fence to better Observe the World} (An approximate translation, as it would be difficult to convey an accurate phonetic representation using human characters. I will refer to him in future articles as Sits on the Fence, as he is more commonly known) that the nature of lies is truth. He says that all things are essentially true, and that the difference between truth and lies is that one is the truth that is, and the other is the truth we wish to be. If we wish and repeat these latter enough, they can become the truth that is. What are we but the things we say we are? It follows then, that it is impossible to lie, and that the action of lying is in fact merely an attempt to influence and change the truth that is. The truth that is, is, in it's entirety impossible to grasp, and therefore we tell ourselves what pieces of it we can grasp, along with the truths that we wish to be. When dealing with cats, it is helpful to remember that no matter what a cat tells you, he does not believe he is lying, but rather trying to impress upon you the truth he wishes to be. Consider also the elves (gone though they are from this realm of being) in whose language it is impossible to say a thing which one does not believe to be the truth that is (whether one is wrong or not is a different matter, as it is belief which confers the ability to speak) (also oaths made in the elven tounge are binding and impossible to break outright (though not obliquely)). Elves have become masters of concealing information, using partial truths, and misleading comments in order to decieve without lying outright. Instead of telling the truth they wish you to believe, they will try to lead you into forming a truth you wish to believe which is concurrent with that which they wish you to believe. Incedentally, elves always had a great deal of trouble dealing with cats. For one thing, because it so deeply ingrained in the minds of cats that all they say and do is truth, of one sort or another, that they were never bound by the strictures of the elven language, which relies on belief to detect falsehood. If one doesn't believe a thing is false, then it isn't a lie, irregardless of whether or not it is accurate. That really threw the elves for a loop, but even worse, they could not respond in kind, because, to a creature as naturally suspicious as a cat (a suspicion grown out of the belief that all that they are told by others is not necessarily the truth that is, but rather the truth that others want them to believe) nothing is taken at face value, and they are difficult to mislead, much less be lead to mislead themselves, and the best an elf can hope for is to withold information, and if they are clever enough, to do so without it being noticed that they are witholding it. Needless to say, elves and cats have never gotten along well, the proud (snobbish) elves disliking to deal with a creature who was more skilled in deciet and manipulation than themselves (not that they would ever admit that they constantly participated in such activities, and why bother when they had gullible humans in whose lives to meddle), and the cats, for thier part, disliking to stay long with people who were so stingy with food.

(I apologize for any confusion my phrasing may have caused, but the concepts of the truth that is, and especially the various truths that are wished to be, do not translate well and I would have much rather preffered to use the feline words, but as I have mentioned previously, phonetic feline does not lend itself to human letters)

I think I need a little more egg-nog in my vodka....

Or is that the other way around?
Yep so, Merry Christmas. Sorry I haven't been updating as much lately.

It seems I need to update.

But I think I'll wait till some time when I'm less tired.

Some insights on the language of cats.

The feline language does not have a word for happiness. The closest translations mean something more like contentment, or in on case, satiation.
While there are a few words that translate into things like exuberance or playfullness, these are more descriptors of behavior than emotion.
The reason for this lack of concept is probably due to the fact that cats do not view happiness as an abstract absolute condition, but rather as a condition of being comfortable.
They tend to feel that humans could be saved a lot of trouble if they spent less time trying to find happiness, and more time learning to be content with what they have.

Open (Holiday) Season

Well it's that time of year when life in retail gets....interesting.
And I thought finals week was exciting....
Anyway, if anyone feels the urge to get me a Christmas present, heroscape expansion packs run somewhere around 10-12 dollars, I already have all of the Utgar's Rage sets, so anything else would be fine. Let me know if you get me something, and I'll reciprocate. :P

Eat moar turkey.

Alrighty, I don't really have much to say right now, except Happy Thanksgiving, and I hope to see some of you this weekend.

I AM NERD HEAR ME COMPILE

Take it. Take it now.

Guitar Hero II

Sweet Child of Mine is one of those songs you've known forever, but don't realize it until the first time you actually hear it, and then realize that despite having never heard it before, you recognize it.
Maybe it's just similar to various other songs I've loved in my life, but one way or another, it seems to fit.
Anyway, I hope to start regular blogging again. I'll make an effort to post whenever I come to the library to get online. So, till next time...
(as if anyone ever checks this thing anymore)

By the way, Happy Holidays, guys!

What's the Calibur of your Soul?

Both mysterious and attractive, you captivate people with the fact that you seem to be good at everything! Spending quiet moments with a friend and talking about what life means to you is your ideal situation. You don't like to stand out very much and you seem to be more old-fashioned than modern, but when you do take the spotlight -- you command the floor!

Which Soul Calibur character are you?

this quiz was made by david park

No matter which quiz I take, nor what variation of answers I give (so long as they're honest) I always wind up classified as Mitsurugi. XP
I guess I'll just have to accept that I'm a samurai! :o
(I did get Taki once, by going for the female version of me)

Mitsurugi does seem a fairly good match for me though, at least for the side of my that is focused and balanced, and not excessively hyperactive and crazy. ^^;
In my quieter moments, I can certainly see the samurai within.... :d

Honestly though, I'm still better with a staff than any other weapon, despite concentrated attempts to master swordsmanship, and gain proficiency with other weapons.

Hmmmm, well it's probably not as good as it would've been last time, but there ya go!
Soul Caliburness...(I've been playing arcade mode on very hard) ;P

Damn, I need a scapegoat. >_<

I somehow deleted my post....T_T
And it was a good one too. T_T
And I'm too tired to curse properly...and I have no idea what caused it so I have no target for my (tootiredtobe)wrath. :*sigh*
On to working on stuff I don't want to deal with...>_<

I can't remember theTeager quote I was gonna put here. :d

But yeah...
So I spent all day downtown hangin out with the J-man and one of his friends from OSU.
They were in town for some school thingy and so I met them at their hotel and we went to chinatown where I got some chopsticks which I am now using to eat ramen and some Oolong tea which I could definitely get to like. :D
Though I probably won't. >_<
Aaaaaaaaand....
I'm hyper and random right now. :D
But I need to catch up on a bunch of webcomics.
And hey! FD stopped in at my long-dead-but-recently-resurrected blog to drop a comment! :D
Hooray for comments. :D
And now...off to be randomelsewhere!

Slightly annoyed...

There's nothing like getting the package you know contains that final crucial component for the robot...only to open it and discover they sent the wrong damn part.
And didn't renew your funding. >:[

So yeah....I'm a little pissed. :D
Analogies, anyone?

Fuckin Ass. >_<


Okay...on the subject of robots, enjoy the comic link. :D
