A Year and a Half Since My Last Post

And all I need to say is:

Update

2007-03-10T03:49:40Z

Well I haven't posted on my LJ in a while. I don't think anyone reads my LJ, but it's more for me than anyone else.

So, I went to my first little furry gathering a week ago. I was so scared that I spent 90 minutes hiding in a corner, but I had fun, and I'm very glad I went.
I'm making plans to go to the new RainFurrest con in Washington. A friend has already agreed to let me share his room if I can make it -- now to secure a ride and time away from college! I might also try to find some less-crowded accomodations.

I had terrible food poisoning three-ish weeks ago, a couple days before the news reports about spoiled chicken. I kept telling people I was sure the chicken had made me sick, and my friends, parents, and mate insisted it must have been bad mayo. Not really important either way.
Anyway, the week with food poisoning seems to have completely destroyed my motivation to work on my senior project. Not sure what I'm gonna do about that. I just can't focus anymore. I really need a break from college.

Second Life

2007-01-11T21:51:12Z

Well, after being harassed for over two years by friends, I finally gave SL a shot. I'm certainly not addicted to it, but it is a great place to meet new furs, and just have a good time. :)

Happy Holidays!

2006-12-25T20:04:10Z

Well I just got back from Colorado late last night. I was supposed to get back on the 20th, but I got pinned in by a huge blizzard that shut down Denver International. My flight got pushed back to the 24th. I'm finally home though. Happy Holidays to everyone!

Trip

2006-12-09T20:27:43Z

Well, I leave tomorrow to go visit my parents in Colorado until late on the 19th, so I probably will not be reachable for that length of time. See you later, everyone. <3

Johari!

2006-12-05T22:23:37Z

I saw this in a friend's journal, and I thought it was awesome so I made one. I dunno if I'll get any replies to it or not, but I suppose that doesn't really matter if I have fun with it anyway. http://kevan.org/johari?name=Kalreborn

Reflection

2006-12-05T21:38:51Z

Here's to all my friends of times long gone,
Here's to all my loves of days gone by,
Here's to all those still with me,
Here's to all those I miss,
Here's to everyone I ever called "friend",
Here's to anyone I ever said "I love you" to,
Thank you for being part of my life,
Thank you for making me who I am,
I love you all.
And here's to the future.

Old Friends!

2006-12-02T07:35:00Z

Well I posted my journal of oddness earlier, to my friends-only section, and suddenly a friend from YEARS ago messaged me! Talk about a surprise! I think I might have to use my LJ a little more often now. Maybe some more of my old friends will suddenly appear.

Wow, I used my LJ three times this year! Woo. oO;

Something Different

2005-05-26T01:56:04Z

I was talking with a friend on IRC today, and I made the following statement. I decided I would post it because I have such a short memory and will probably forget it soon, plus I thought it was a pretty good statement. :)

I have found that there are two general philosophies governing online behavior. One is, "I am calmer and / or kinder online." The other is "I don't know these people and never will, so I can be a complete asshole." In general, people who act like assholes online, tend to be assholes in person as well. People who tend to be calmer or kinder online than they usually are, are usually kinder on the inside than they outwardly express, or judge themselves too harshly.

2005-02-05T05:05:26Z

P.S. I stole that from an old friend's journal and have no idea where he got it from. So there. :p

If there is at least one person in your life whom you consider a close friend, and whom you would not have met without the Internet, post this sentence in your journal.

Can't think of many people this wouldn't be true for.

2004-11-04T07:41:57Z

Wow, I haven't posted anything on this in a really long time.

Had a fight with my wuffie today. We always make up though. I think we have a fight about once a month, which doesn't really seem to bad.

Did my programming lab in about two hours. That's nearly a record for the labs I get here. Of course, I don't think the lab could have been much easier. I don't think I correctly assigned values to my static variables before allocating memory though, despite the program compiling and the program working just fine. Whatever.

Finally caught up in my logic devices class! Yay. Other than on the last lab my Gray Code counter counts down instead of up. The hold and load functions worked fine though.

Haven't gone to math in about a week and a half. I'm getting really sick of math. I'll have to find out what sections to review, since I imagine we'll have a test this Friday.

One of my friends sent me a link to a funny music video to a song called Soccer Practice. Apparently it's done by a gay guy from New York. I find his songs terribly funny since they're all about gay sex and such. Wo0t! The name on his songs and album is Gay Pimp. I'll have to look up more of his music. I also have Electroboi, which is another fun song.

Looking forward to the release of EverQuest II. Probably won't have -too- much time to play it. Couldn't stand EQ 1 for more than a year, but EQ2 really looks like something I could stick with for a while. Been watching a friend play the beta since it opened a while ago. Also been considering trying Tribes: Vengeance. The bastages took down the Tribes 2 servers! Arg!

Choices

2003-10-12T08:53:42Z

Sometimes, things in college seem to be very complicated. Although I have only been at OIT for about two weeks, I have already had three rather awkward and silent moments with other people. I don't really know what to think of this. However, I have decided something: when life gets rough and you don't really know what the right choice is, you have to follow your heart.

The hardest choices in life are those which affect other people -- especially when you know your decision will hurt someone else one way or the other, and yourself to a degree regardless of which you choose.

Well, I'm moved into the dorms now. The school's internet connection hasn't been turned on yet, but luckily my parents' ISP has two local phone numbers, so I got online using my normal modem.

Let me explain something to all the not-yet-in-college people out there: dorms are insanely-overpriced slums that college students are placed into. These things should be rent-controlled. Two people pay $6000 each to spend 9 months in a 17' x 11' space with no air conditioning, heating, or proper ventilation. Colleges get away with this by giving other students a bit of their stolen money back, and commissioning said students to call the location a "residence hall", and organize small social gatherings for other students.

For this amount of money, you are randomly placed in a room with another person of your gender, who you probably have very little in common with, and you probably have to semi-permanently give up all masturbatory habits. Also be prepared to give up sleeping, since your room will be musty, humid, and probably about the ninety-degree mark.

P.S: I forgot to mention the "holy" ceiling tiles, scratched up walls, paint-chipped furniture, falling-apart desks, uncomfortable wooden chairs with no back support, metal-frame beds, ready-to-break-and-hit-you-at-a-moment collapsing shelves that can hold maybe fifty pounds, and ugly forty-year old curtains that are barf green, bronze brown, black, and with streaks of white at random locations.

College / Financial Bitching Ahead

2003-09-18T00:31:01Z

Now I know I'm far from the only person to get fucked up the ass by his or her college of choice, but I still think I'm allowed to get pissed off when the information I sent in eight months ago was never processed, despite the thirty-or-so phone calls made to the college about said processing. Everyone sounds really nice and helpful on the phone, but that all evaporates as soon as you hang up, apparently. I haven't gone far into this yet, but I think I should stop now. I'm too pissed off to really write coherently anyway.

kalreborn @ 2003-09-13T13:04:00

2003-09-13T20:04:54Z

Well, a little under two weeks remain until I move into the dorms. I can't help feeling nervous. I've always worried too much.

In the past, I've always been the one who supported other people. I listen, sometimes I offer suggestions when I feel qualified enough. I try to help. Many people have used me as a support when they had no where else to turn.

Who do I turn to?

kalreborn @ 2003-09-02T20:02:00

2003-09-03T03:03:13Z

I was bored. Thought I'd take this quiz. Typical of me, I know.

Der.

It's after 3 AM. I find myself just sitting here. Nothing on TV except infomercials. Everyone is sleeping. Most of the people who aren't asleep, I haven't talked to in months; most likely all busy playing a game or role playing, or something else of the like.

I don't really have anything to post on here -- I just felt compelled to post for some reason. Boredom and loneliness, I suppose.

kalreborn @ 2003-08-28T13:49:00

2003-08-28T20:49:45Z

Well a friend wanted me to make a post so he could take a look at it. Not really anything to put in this post. Fall term of college doesn't start until September 29th.

I wish the community college I went to last year had decent programming classes (VB? Java? Yeah, right! Kiss my ass, visual-based-C++-rip offs). It's been so long since I actually DID any programming, I might as well just take both of the C++ classes instead of skipping them. Fell short of being placed in Calculus by one question on the math placement exam, so I'm gonna be in Algebra instead. Oh well, suppose it could be worse -- I wasn't looking forward to Calculus anyway. Not that I'm looking forward to Algebra either (especially since I hated it the first time around). I can't seem to remember half of my schedule right now.

I remember that I'm taking an electronics class. Since I took such a highly-intensive electronics class last year (a community college with the best electronics program in the STATE? Who woulda thought...), turns out I'm only two classes away from my AA in Electronics Technology / Engineering.

Guess that's more than enough for now out of me. Time to play games.

Haven't used this is forever. Thought I might just toss a quiz up here, although that's basically the only thing in this journal.

I am Kung Fu Master.

I like to be in control of myself. I dislike crowds, especially crowds containing people trying to kill me. Even though I always win, I prefer to avoid fights if possible. What Video Game Character Are You?
