Hm.

Somebody needs to yell at me every time I don't update this, because seriously I got 25 views on Sunday which is insane. Maybe some people thought I was gonna bitch about 9/11, which would be hypocritical because I hate when other people bring it up. But I haven't done a blog post for a couple days, so it must have been a disappointment.

Anywho. I may ponder everything in my head for hours on end when I have trouble sleeping or am riding in a car for a long boring stretch, but I have never thought about the realities of war as intensely as my grade 10 History class is getting me to visualize. I'm surprised I haven't had nightmares about it all yet...hell, I'll probably have one tonight since I've been thinking about WWI like all day. I never want to go to war. There is no glory in it, and there is no reason on the planet important enough to get me to stick a gun in an innocent man's face and pull the trigger.

My teacher is really good at his job. I have to say History is my favourite subject so far this semester.

So lately I've been playing a lot of the Minecraft 1.8 Pre-Release. Being a huge Minecraft addict, I've probably put in about a total of 5 or 6 hours - maybe even more - in just the past two nights. It is the most amazing thing, adding things to survival that actually make it a true survival mode (requiring you to keep up a food meter, making certain things poisonous, etc.). I think it has been the most fun I have had paying a game in months, and I've played Fallout: New Vegas and Grand Theft Auto IV and LittleBigPlanet recently. I highly recommend the pre-release to everyone who has a Minecraft account.

Speaking of pre-releases, I am gonna try Windows 8 on both my computers once Scott gets two disks to me to burn the images to. Really anticipating this...if they learned anything from Vista to 7, it's that people want a lightweight, user-friendly OS that doesn't have tons of features that barely anyone can actually find a use for. So hopefully it'll run really well on my shittop (my school/work laptop) and allow me to do things like Minecraft on it.

Side note: I've been really digging old-style FPS games and dungeon crawlers. I need to get back to playign Half-Life 1 now that it's installed on the shittop.

And I've been addicted to eating raw spaghetti for the past month or so. Not surprising considering the strength of my oral fixation. I rarely ever chew things, so the crunchiness of the dry spaghetti helps exercise my jaw to a point where I'm equally content with going back to regular oral activities. I need something to chew on...not sure where I'll find anything though.

To sum up, classes have been pretty good, friends are pretty much the same as usual (not very enthusiastic about going out of their way to do social stuff), home life is pretty relaxing and entertaining (though not nearly enough as I'd like...vidya gaems are BORING), and I have like two crushes on people at school which I shall never reveal unless I feel like revealing them. Well, one is definitely a crush, but the other is less of a crush and more of a "I like this person but I'm iffy if I'd actually want to start anything with them ever". A thing I know for sure though is that neither of them are going to see any progress any time soon, and I can probably find much better matches if I look two feet farther. Online dating doesn't seem like something I'd want to start up again until I get more of a hold on school and a social life so...yeah, I guess I'll just stick it out for a while.

Welp, I'm tired and I need sleepy times! SO...bedtime!

'Night peeps.
