FISH.

In case you didn't already know, I went to the Caledonia Fair on Saturday and won a goldfish. Since I'm so original, I named it "Fish". It probably won't last through the week, but it's cool to have a fish all the same.

Previous to that, I went to a Magic: The Gathering draft. Got a handful of interesting cards but overall sucked dick. The only win I got that night was because my would-be third opponent had to leave, so I got a free win. Woo. Still fun though. Especially the game against Scott. Honestly, that was one of the funnest card games I've ever played. I'd definitely go again if I had the chance.

Anyway, enough of that. I seem to be getting a handle on school finally. I've discovered (thanks to Morgan) that I probably suffer from Analysis Paralysis (check out Wikipedia, that's an actual thing, and it's not too great within today's society). I've got myself doing things the funnest way possible for me and I'm only doing work when I feel up to doing so, and so far it's not taking a toll on me. Sure I'm a bit behind now, but once the new routine fits in with my sleep routine and such it will make things much easier and I'll breeze right on through.

So this just means I might get back on the social train. Or not. I'm getting kinda sick of talking to people over the internet. It's just a big game of saying the right things, and you can't hear tone or see a person's reactions or share a drink with someone or even play a game with them. It's all just a screen full of emotion-dullened text. But alas, that screen of text is about as close as I can get to some people outside of school. And others refuse to arrange to get together. So if I wanna keep up good terms with some people, I gotta pretend to enjoy internet social activity. Though I do actually like Twitter. Whatever happened to emails and handwritten letters? Those were so cool back in the day. Now we're just set into a routine of throwing meaningless short sentences back and forth every night and occasionally getting information out of one another. Blogging is like an online journal for everyone to read, and Twitter is micro-blogging. It's good to get your thoughts on paper...or on a screen at least. It's not as good to exchange meaningless blubber.And it's even worse to have people not respond to your meaningless blubber.

In fear of making this another of those ranty longish blogs that I seem to produce quite often, I think I'll cut it here. Since Morgan and I just had a fairly large and interesting conversation, I think I'll spend the rest of the night reading Inkheart and maybe playing the Battlefield 3 Beta on my PS3 (which is really great by the way). Books beat games any day, but Inkheart isn't too great so far. Nearly done the first chapter...yay...

Finally done this thing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be off.
