There's nothing like people who are loyal to you.

Even sports are untainted.

As Gil now knows, Ayn Rand must be turning in her grave about now.

Well that settles that.

Word verification has most definitely been turned on.

I barely even fucking care anymore.

Hm.

Google Trends rocks.

I just thought this one was pretty cool. Cool in a not cool way.

It's a word. It has a definition. You can use it in language.

Gil criticized me for using the word 'apostate' on my Myspace page. He said I just try to seem smart. That annoys me, because if I am smart, which isn't what I was saying, why should I have to seem dumb on Myspace? I agree that it's a forum that is quite dumb, and even having a page says more about my intelligence than I'd like, but why would I need to appear intelligent to my peers? I think that if you're smart it probably expresses itself naturally, unless you make an effort to suppress it.

Gil also told me that my recent posts are self indulgent. I agree, but I'm also unsure as to what else I'm supposed to blog, and where I seemed to give the impression that this blog was about something other than myself.

Apparently I rub Gil the wrong way sometimes, and he needs to find fault in me. He's a good guy though, and still worth hanging out with despite the baggage.

This post will probably piss him off again, because I defintely moral highgrounded him.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Note: Most will not care about the following information.

Oh God. I'm quivering with anticipation.

And Final Fantasy XIII? Check it.

Specifically this-- note the menu in the bottom left and across the bottom? Big changes it seems.

I'll be keeping you updated. And by that I mean I'll be forcefeeding you information you may or may not want.

And I'm Justified.

Just got the old ACT results, and I managed a composite of 31.

I haven't told my friend yet, but he'll be told soon, and I'll collect my $29.

I'm happy with my score for now, but next year I'd like to push on 33-34.

There will not be two deaths, but one is inevitable.

I'm currently waiting for my ACT scores to come via mail, even though my friend's got here on Saturday. My friend and I have a wager of $25 plus $2 per point margin on whoever got a better score. He posted a 29, so I'll have to crack the 30's for a victory.

I don't doubt that I won. Do you?

Lengthy hiatus seems to have inspired me slightly. When pressure to blog is lost, perhaps it can flow more freely.

I'm in an interesting place at my church youth group. I'm starting to come into my own a bit, attending/enjoying-wise, but I'm still clearly a sort of aloof stranger. I'm not sure if that is taken as contempt, but I imagine that is what I would take it as if I was one of the YG insiders. I'm rather quiet, and when I do speak, I'm very concise and intelligent.

The part that makes interesting the leaders' attitudes towards me is the fact that at the first event I attended, an ice cream social of sorts at Coldstone, I told one of the leaders that I was there because my mom made me come, because I "do bad things."

Haha. My words may have been intentionally inflammatory.

So now it's like all the leaders are my friends, or at least try to act in such a way. I do like them all, but I only really have a couple of friends there, and I don't really have any friends among the kids, just the adults. I would like to get more involved though, it's worth going to, and the people are nice.

And they're not pushing God on me, and if they did I'd be sure to alienate myself like you would not believe, I'm not taking any peer pressure bullshit. Even if it is from Jesus.
