Even Ground

Do you know why I quit Myspace? It’s quite simple, actually: I got tired of putting people on my top friends when I wasn’t on theirs and having to worry if I was doing the same to other people. I don’t like putting effort into a one-sided relationship; I’m sure you know what I mean.
I’m [...]

I should be a Samurai.

I’ve frequently thought I was born in the wrong time period. I dreamed of the medieval times as soon as I was introduced to them, and played at being the chivalrous knight in my make-believe games.

My Internet Rant

I believe it’s called “chatspeak”?
Abbreviating common words for Internet use, that is. Like “thx” and “plz.” I’m o.k. with common abbreviations like that. What bugs me is when people use it either as an excuse to not spell when they should be, or when people who don’t know how to spell use it, and make [...]

When was the last time you surprised yourself?

Well, I’d have to say within the last 30 seconds was the last time I surprised myself. I WAS working on the editorial I have to write for homework and totally forgot about it because blogging has become fun…and that doesn’t sound lame or anything. >.>
Upon seriously considering the question, however, I think that if [...]
