I never had the urge, until last night, to slap a grown man in the face and tell him to wake up.
I wish for the space of four months I ruled America. I would show people the true oppression and heavy-handedness of a truly socialist regime, because the first thing I would do is take people like him and have them carted off to a labor camp.

Rant, Moan and Rave - 2010 edition
Went to sleep at 11 today. 11am that is. Ahaha…Just how high do you have to be to do something like that >___<
And I will get my Pokemon Gold game fixed so I can save. I WILL.Aww man, I heard that Pokemon Gold carts are all broken because of an internal clock. I was hoping I was being lied to be a sneaky lying liar, but…
Oh well, if I try to play my Pokemon Gold cart and it doesn't work, I'll just pirate it 56 times and then email Nintendo telling them I did that and asking what the hell they are going to do about it.
Looks like the volcano that's been plaguing European/trans-Atlantic flights is finally dying down.
Of course it might go full force again at a moments notice but evidence do suggest that it's done with acting all big and bad.
Y'know, they must have saved a ton of fuel from all the closures. I was kinda hoping it'd keep acting up.
I was kinda hoping it'd keep acting up.You were? Well… I guess it would make you happy to know then that there's a much bigger volcano right next door to the one that just erupted, who has a history of blowing up every time her neighbor opens up. That old girl is called Katla and has had 16 documented eruptions since 930 (when the country got settled) and erupts on average every 60 years. Right now, there is no evidence that it's about to go critical but geologists are paying a close eye to it. The volcano has usually erupted within the same year on 1 year after an eruption in Eyjafjallajökull.
Here's a rough 2D slice of the two volcanoes and its volatile contents.
Here's a detailed 3D scan of the glacier that lies on the volcano:
…and the same picture with the glacier removed, to show the actual size of the caldera.
This is a colorized picture of Katla, taken when it last erupted in 1918:
Now, the scale of a Katla eruption has always been larger then Eyjafjallajökull so if it's gonna follow her old pattern, you can expect many more cancellations in the future.
I've suddenly become somewhat apathetic, which I like to blame on my dad calling my a selfish, anti-social blah blah blah. Unfortunately for him, I never forget and I never forgive.
I have two essays that were due last year that I have still have not started, and I'm failing both Journalism (I hate this class so much.) and Ap English 3, which is bad, because I already signed up for Ap English 4, and if my parents found out I was failing not one but two classes, they would probably kill me, or ground me.
Which reminds me, the way they ground us, or at least me :mad: is ridiculous. I'm supposed to sit in my room, and not do ANYTHING. Not a single thing. I can't draw, I can't read, I can't play Ps ONE, I can't play DS, I can't sit on my bed, I can't sit on a chair, I can't sleep, I can't anything! And they actually think I'm going to sit on the floor and think about what I've done for months. Yes, right, of course.
And I can't go pee unless I ask, which means I'd have to leave the room, and we're not allowed to leave our rooms. >_>
But, eh.
I also had yet another awesome dream. I want to use the idea in a comic or something.
(I love telling my dreams, which sucks, because it's boring. :( )
Okay! The main character, who I'm calling Ira for no reason, lives in some city. It's basically overrun by zombies, and it has the feel of Resident Evil or Silent Hill. Except the zombies are pretty much humans. They just go into rages when they go after people. They have red eyes and sharp teeth.
So, Ira lives in a city full of zombies, and blends in well. He lives alone in an apartment, and the dream starts with some zombie girl bugging him about visiting. He goes over to her family's apartment for dinner, and thanks to practice, eats human like it's no big deal. (He throws up as soon as he gets home.)
This part's fuzzy, but later, he accidently blows his cover by talking about Tatwau, "They are them, we are us"), and he's suddenly stuck in a large apartment building full of unstupid, unslow, unweak zombies. He spends a couple of seconds cussing and them proceeds to pack a bag of awesome. (read: guns)
The next part is just him climbing ducts and running through hallways shooting people. There are weird parts, because a lot of the people are his neighbors, so he feels bad, and hesitates a lot.
He then basically has to flee the city. Again, note that unlike other zombie movies/books/games, the zombie are not slow,they are not stupid. They are organized, so he ahs to call up a friend of his.
And I don't remember any more, just that it was awwwwwwwesommmmmmmmmme.
It was one of the ad council ad's. the one that's like "dial at the first sign of stroke" and so fourth. promoting awareness of stuff. never had that problem before. scrolled down a little and saw another ad council and a comic advert. that's about it.ditto. I got a pop up too. knew I shoulda print screened it.
Aww man, I heard that Pokemon Gold carts are all broken because of an internal clock. I was hoping I was being lied to be a sneaky lying liar, but…someone told me you need to replace the save battery and that's it. Another Gamestop employee said it is just a watch battery that you gotta put in there to replace it. But first I got to open the damn thing as neither me or my dad see what tool opens it.
Oh well, if I try to play my Pokemon Gold cart and it doesn't work, I'll just pirate it 56 times and then email Nintendo telling them I did that and asking what the hell they are going to do about it.
volcano namesand what do those mean?
more importantly, how do you say them?
So yeah, I did community service all weekend but I have my ten hours.
And I need to update my comics with something interesting or good.
My tablet was doing something weird but I fixed it. Changed the brush type and it went away. FOR NOW.
lol community service. i got out of that. amazing what asking for a lawyer will do. (unless this is boyscouts…it's amazing not caring if you make eagle or not does for you)

I've done a lot more drawing in the last week, than i have in the past 6 months. feels good. specially since i'm forcing myself to make time. not playing that many games.
Great news is, that since i decided to run in the Triathlon in august, the gym suddenly decided to open half an hour earlier. Which is how much i need exactly to start working in bicycle to my routine. convenient? coincidence? a sign from god? all of the above?
Eyjafjallajökull: "Eyjafjall" means "Mountain of the islands" It overlooks a large collection of islands that are visible off the coast where it stands. The "Jökull" part means glacier. The foreign media calls it Eyjafjallajökull-glacier (in which they butcher the pronunciation) which is technically wrong since that would be implying that the glacier itself is erupting (because we all know that large collection of ice can contain lava pockets lol!). In reality it's the mountain "Eyjafjall" that's erupting, not the glacier on top of it :P.volcano namesand what do those mean?
more importantly, how do you say them?
Here's how to pronounce the name of the glacier.
Katla: Female name, derived from the male name Ketill which means cauldron. A close enough way to pronounce it is to say "Cat-la", putting heavy emphasis on the "t" part. Most of our big volcanoes have humanized names, while the smaller ones have just generic mountain names.
Other famous big time volcanoes would be "Hekla", "Krafla", "Surtur", "Askja" and "Keilir".
Here's how to pronounce the name of the glacier."ay-uh-flot, damn it, ay-uh-flot…ay-uh…ay-uh-fyat-yuh, arrrrrgh!"
I got my first rejection letter from a college today. It was from UC San Diego. I shouldn't be surprised I mean the letter said 14,000 applied for 2,225 spots. It wasn't my first choose nor my second. But it still stings. I think it makes it worse that it was so far down my list that it stings.
you're only mad about the world cup cause they're banning the english flag.yes i know that's false
———————————–
I may not half to work.
the puppies are pooping on their own. which means cleaning up the den 3 times a day. i need more old towels. i tried to get some from the store, but they only had 3 cheap ones. (1.99 a towel) good news is they're eating solid food, so my big puppy can start getting breaks. poor girl. specially since they developed teeth sometime last week.
haha and one's so cute, they have a massive food bowl they share, and when any get too close to red collar while eating, she starts to growl. it's so cute.
Warmth I can handle. It's the world cup I HATE.:o I thought I was the only person in Britain who hated football.
(Edit: Though it's highly possible you hate the world cup and like football. In which case I am the only one. :()
Well except all my friends and many other people I know.
But yes the warmth is sort of annoying now. I want my snow back :(
Fuck. That pretty much sums up my attitude lately. Been gone for a couple weeks from DD now as a result of most of the people I know being complete fuckers, and preferring to spend my off time at home, drinking.
Glad to see that not much has changed at all around DD.
Yep - we're still incomplete fuckers. :)

:o I thought I was the only person in Britain who hated football.
I have no interest whatsoever in football but usually you can just ignore it. Once every four years though, a kind of mass hysteria affects our fellow countrymen from which there is no hiding place.
Oh lordy no hiding in my house. My family love watching football, rugby, cricket, tennis, snooker, DARTS.:o I thought I was the only person in Britain who hated football.

And they watch every game. There is no escape!

One may hide from it here with no effort whatsoever!
However, then there's American football. I've got avoiding it down to an art, but even so, still it intrudes on occasion.
Oh, right, and since this is the American South, it is similarly hard to pretend that NASCAR and wrasslin' don't exist. -_-;; In conclusion, well, isn't football really not all that bad? -sigh-
could really use a beam of light, guitar solo moment to top this off.lol!
You should.

Sport is irritating. I've learned to tolerate it over the years and even learn to appreciate it in some ways, but when it becomes overly intrusive and overwhelming, it is intolerable.

Lake of coffee in the middle of my desk T_T
I knocked over my cup and the damn stuff spilled everywhere! It took ages to clean it all up. Lucky it didn't go in anything electrical, just under stuff and pooled in the middle. Thank heavens I keep my desk pretty uncluttered and clear or I'd have been well and truly buggered.
