RIT

Well, I finally paid the deposit for RIT. Now I'm a student. I submitted my housing application, and set up my email account. Check my facebook for the new information.

I'm very excited.

Illicits and Age

Well, I'll make this short. I'm 18 now, and my purity test score has probably gone down 10%.

I've gotten both drunk and high. And it wasn't bad. I probably won't get high in the future, because pot hurts my throat (to smoke, that is).

I also won't get drunk. I had four shots over a long period of time, so I wasn't drunk enough to have a hangover. But I was definitely effected.

All in all, it was a very nice party with friends from Berkeley; some old, some new.

Also, Jenny and Curtis must get together. That is my decree.

Also also, I just bought both a Nintendo DS and Guitar Hero III. Curtis, next time I'm in Berkeley, you're on.

Here comes the sun...

(Taken from a softer world.)

So, yeah. This is me right now, sorta. I guess I'll just see what happens. See you this weekend.

Somebody get the Super Soaker

If we're surrounded by only robots, are we truly alone?

Do we trade the false, unfeeling faces of computers for the false, unfeeling faces of man?

What makes an emotion "real"? What makes someone alive?

Aren't we all just ghosts in the machine?

What am I?

You know, I'm not really a cynical optimist. Sure, I'm cynical, and I can be optimistic. But I'm really a content pessimist.

I usually think the worst will happen, but I'm content when it does. Sometimes I get emotional and angry, but that doesn't help matters. In the end, when I'm exhausted by emotion, and I've broken down like a crumbling cliff face, I realize that the only thing I can do is move forward.

I won't commit suicide, at least not right now. No, despite some things I've said, I really like people. They're interesting, and I'd like to figure them out. I don't know if I'll ever be successful as one, but I'll try.

If that last thing sounded odd to you, I apologize. That's just my particular breed of insanity. It seems more and more that everyone I meet is mad in some way, and I'm no exception.

Well, it's 02:38 right now, and I am calm enough to go to bed. I'll just finish Flight of the Conchords, do some work, then get some sleep. Also, has anyone seen my copy of Lady Vengeance?
