Music

I am trying to do a video about religious intolerance and how it effects people... This is one of my song choices. Its a Christian band called RED (I thought it was semi-ironic). This song is titled Pieces. Not a perfect fit, but I -love- the music of it. Maybe an instrumental?

Another suggestion for me (thanks hun!):

And this one seems to be the winner (slower would have been nicer in the beginning, but the lyrics are wonderful)!

Is it true what they say?Are we too blind to find the way?Fear of the unknownClouds our hearts today.
Come into my world,See through my eyes.Try to understand,Don't want to lose what we have.
We've been dreamingBut who can deny?It's the best way of livingBetween the truth and the lies.
[Chorus:]See who I am,Break through the surface.Reach for my hand,Let's show them that we canFree your mind and find the way.The world is in our hands,This is not the end.
Fear is withering the soulAt the point of no return.We must be the change we wish to see.
I'll come into your world,See through your eyes.I'll try to understand,Before we lose what we have.
We just can't stop believingBecause we have to try.We can rise above the truth and their lies.
[Chorus x2]See who I am,Break through the surface.Reach for my hand,Let's show them that we canFree your mind and find the way.The world is in our hands.
This is not the end.
I hear their silencePreaching my blame.Will our strength remainIf their power reigns?
[Chorus x2]See who I am,Break through the surface.Reach for my hand,Let's show them that we canFree your mind and find the way.The world is in our hands.
This is not the end.

What I am

I do not claim to be an expert. In fact, I am anything but. What I am, however, is a Pagan. I have referenced this fact before, but I didnt go into much detail.

I identify with Wicca more than anything. I believe in the male and female aspects of everything, including a deity. The God and Goddess, Lord and Lady. I also believe in the four elemental spirits, with the fifth (spirit) being the Lord and Lady combined. I like to name things, so in my head I am learning and memorizing my names for the four spirits and Lord and Lady. The intelligent Wind is Anemone, empathetic Water is Arethousa, passionate fire is Aethon, and stable Earth is Demetrios. All of the names are Greek names relating/meaning that element. I relate heavily to the Greeks, as you can probably tell. When we see a deity, I believe it is the same force that we see. The different Gods and Goddesses that the Greeks saw and believed in I believe are different ways to see the Lord and Lady. When I am wishing for wisdom, I see Athena. When I want courage in the face of danger, I see Ares.

Another topic is energy. There is SOOO MUCH I could go in to. But for now, the basics. The energy of the universe, or All, connects every one of us, and is everywhere. Some of us can see or sense this energy and manipulate it. For those of you interested in learning how to achieve this feat, there are some things you need to learn. Ground, Center, and Making a Circle. I wont explain this here, but it is very important to learn. And dont get discouraged, I still cant see energy, and its a goal that ive had for years.

Well, enough for now. Maybe I will post later.

Sometimes I wonder...

Sometimes I wonder why good people have to suffer.
Sometimes I wonder if we could have stopped it.
Sometimes I wonder if I can help more.

Uncle Gene,
Ive always loved you and cared about you. I worry about you and what will happen. But, I believe in fate, and think that it happens for a reason. You will show us hope, show us how strong our family is. We all love you uncle Kooky Wooky, and hope you get better!!
Love you,
Koopa Kiyah

Overwhelmed

Well, those dizzy spells were from low blood pressure caused by an untreated infection. But now something else has gone wrong.

One of my closer family members has something wrong with his brain. He got lost at work, and couldnt remember a thing. He and his wife are currently heading to a neurologist while their daughter (whom i adore) is staying here. And after them taking moat my day to diagnose me... its been a long long overwhelming day.

Oh, and its Thanksgiving. What am I thankful for?? That my family member probably found a good doctor.

Well this is odd...

The past few days, ive been having a weird reaction. It will happen seemingly randomly. The top front if my brain will feel tingly and fuzzy, and all ill want to do is lay down and close my eyes. Not sleep, just relax. When I do, it feels like im flying. Also, my speech (normally complex and maturish) starts sounding like a little girl. I want to cry as well, but ive found thats my normal reaction to 'somethings wrong!'
Oh, and something else thats been happening for a while that I never gave much  thought is that I have spasms. My muscles will all contract at once, making me twitch and stuff. The definition if that is either a tic or seizures -.-

Well, im about to go to the doctor... wonder whats wrong with me this time??

Hooping

What is Hooping, or Hoop Dancing, or Hula Hoop Dancing? Its interpretive dance. Like any form of dance, it can only truely be understood by the people who participate. But I will try to enlighten you.

I cant dance in the normal sense. I dont know how to move my body, or what the purpose even is of 'normal' dance. To look like an idiot? To show you have coordination? Well, I probably look like an idiot, but my foot-eye coordination is horrible most of the time. True, I learned basic swing dance, but thats with a partner. He leads, I follow. (The foot-eye coordination issue is also why I have a hard time shuffling)

Now, the hoop is my partner. I show it where I want it to move, and most of the time it cooperates (and when it doesnt, there is a possibility of a bruise). Once you get used to the size and weight, and you work it right, it looks amazing. I have one that me and my ex made, one that I bought, and one that he bought me. The one that he bought me is probably my favorite. It is an LED hoop. So when I turn it on and start it spinning, it lights up the night.

I mostly dance to dubstep, techno, or pop, but every once in a while, a slow song makes it in. I want to learn how to dance to symphonic metal well, because my boyfriend introduced me to the music and I love it :).

When I hoop, I seem to enter my own little world. Time slows, the spin of my hoop is all that matters to me. I can start slow and work my way up, or I can start out fast and slow it when I tire. I enter a state of happiness that can hardly be described. Some people enter this state when they draw, others when they meditate. I feel whole and wonderful.

Its been a while since I have hooped for any decent period of time. Its getting cold here, so it gets hard after a while. I miss the tug on my waist, the wonder of a perfect catch, and the looks of amazement as people watch me express my love and happiness.

This is my LED hoop: http://moodhoops.com/shop/aura/

My next LED hoop will probably be the Tigerlily: http://moodhoops.com/shop/tigerlily/

I leave you with my heart soaring, remembering the hoop spinning around my body... May gravity ever be in your favor ;).

Marijuana

So, I dont have much to write about, but I guess I can just start with this link.

http://news.msn.com/pop-culture/marijuana-tourism-looms-large-after-election-results

In Colorado and Washington, pot is now legal. I am in support of this. Now, I have never smoked pot, nor is it legal here in Minnesota. But I think that is an excellent way of finding more money for the country if taxed and regulated. Though one main issue is health effects. When used as an adolescent, marijuana has a serious effect. A study showed that teens who smoked pot had a decline of 8 points in IQ by the time they are fully matured. The study showed that those results did not happen if the person started smoking after reaching adulthood.

Most people against legal marijuana say that it can cause a dependence. Yes, it can. Want to know what else causes a dependence? Alcohol. Tobacco. "But its not the same!" No, they arent. Marijuana is better for you than tobacco. In fact, it is possible it helps eliminate some types of cancer. Also, nicotine is far more addictive than the chemicals in pot. Oh, and alcohol is more addictive too. Alcohol lowers a persons inhibitions so they do things that they wouldnt normally do. So if a person seems good and okay on the outside, inside he may want to hurt you. And what if those mental blocks holding him back are lowered? He starts a dunken fight. Or, what if in a normal state of mind, he knows he should not drink and drive. But when those barriers of logical thought are lowered, he gets in his car. 250,000 people have died in alcohol related accidents in the past 10 years. Thats a lot.

But what about marijuana? Overdosing on marijuana is very very hard. In fact, you should be unconscious and puking by the time you come even close to ODing. It mellows people. Instead of going out and punching someone, you mellow out and talk. You're happy. That is part of the reason it is used as medicine in California. It is simply safer for you than alcohol or tobacco.

I believe it can be beneficial to legalize and tax marijuana. I also believe regulations should be in order. My ideas are to make it so it is not to be smoked in public (unless Cannibus coffee shops spring up). This will help people that have some issue with it, and keep the smoke away from pregnant women. Also, I agree with the age 21. At that point, most peoples brains have stopped developing, and cannibus wont have the devastating effects.

So Minnesota (and other states or countries), what do you think?

Well hello again!

So I have not written anything for a few days. This is for a few reasons. First, I have started playing League of Legends. Its awesome. If you are a Warcraft 3 player, it is DotA. Other reasons include always talking to my boyfriend, or being at a wonderful place called the Shop. It is a store devoted to the more nerdy types of gaming. I roleplay with a group there, play a trading card game or two (Weiss Schwartz and Magic: the Gathering). But mainly, life has been -fantastic-.

I am suffering from mania. Im spending money, my nights end in laughs and not tears, and im just so HAPPAH. It comes with not being able to concentrate or do anything, but hey, thats part of my life! I just took two cool tests... Here are the links!

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/06/07/technology/20100607-task-switching-demo.html

Apparently im not so good at switching tasks, but im good at this other one!

Class is almost over, gotta go!

Just a short post for now, I may update more later. I met with my shaman friend and other energy working friend last night, and we got into some interesting conversations. You may think im crazy like, "Whats energy work? Like Jedis?" And I say yes, like Jedis and the force. Also, spirits are real. Some people can see them, and they are not crazy. Gotta go for now, but thought that was cool and fun.

Also, cuddles are awesome. I like cuddles. (AKA, yes, I agree with Caitlin wholeheartedly).

Knock knock

Who's there?

Looking at my page views, I am a little surprised as to who it says is looking. In all time, I have had 66 views from the US, 4 from Russia, 3 from Germany, 1 from France, and 1 from Malaysia. I know who is viewing from Malaysia (shoutout to Mr. Lonely, who commented on my blog, even if it didnt show http://www.lonelyreload.com/). But what about the others? Let me know, im curious.

Also, seems most of the page views are from Windows (94%), and most people are using Firefox (58%), with Chrome being second (31%). I applaud you :p

Rant rant rant

So, I have some things I need to rant about. First of all, im in my schools newspaper. We are given stories that may include interviews or other forms of information gathering. We have at least a week and a half to complete these stories. I get my stories done on time, as well as I can with information missing. Then on paste up days, where we format the pages, there are other people without stories in. Why?! Granted, I get points for each hour im here, but so does everyone else. Our scores are an average. How many stories/hours we have divided by the average. A story is an hour. So if I do more stories than the average, I get more points. Thats fine by me. Whats not fine is when people come to paste up on Saturday without stories done. We print on Monday. You were told to get your stories on the page. This issue I wrote more on my stories than they can use. In addition, I get more stories when I come. I took the ACT plus writing today from 8-12:15, then went to paste up. It is 3:30, and I am still here!! The other girls have been here since 8. What is this madness? This issue, I believe the average amount of stories per person this issue is two or three, plus the opinion poll (same point amount as a story). I have three stories, plus opinion polls, the editorial story, plus ads (which also count for hours). So, assuming everybody was at paste up for the same amount of time, I can have a percentage of 166%. On the low end, that would be 125%. I will be leaving paste up earlier than others, so I will have less hours for that, but still!! Get your stories done people!!

That got a bit off topic, but thats because my brain has seemed to stop working. What I want right now is to rest, maybe sleep, in my boyfriends arms. I want to leave soon and do this, but my mother has noticed that im there a lot (because its more relaxing there than at home), and is worried. I am close to him, but thats because I believe he understands me. Now I just sound like a little teenage girl, complaining about parents and how they dont understand me. But actually, its true.

I was in a state of mania, but now I feel drugged. The ACT, then this paste up, has taken away my brain power. Im not tired, but I need to relax. Im not depressed. Its like theres a block on my mania that wont let me fly above an almost 'normal' level. It sucks.

Sleep, food, and mania

I have a friend who I am really worried about. She has been feeling sickly lately, probably for a couple of reasons.

She hasnt been eating well. Now, I try not to be a hipocrit. I barely eat some days. Whether because on downtown and broke, lazy, not hungry, whatever. But if food is put in front of me, i will eat it. My friend has been having issues of being broke and downtown and not having time to make food. She also has been eating little at lunch, probably because shes a bit sick, and doesent like school food. Im one of the few who does.

She also hasnt been sleeping much. She wakes up when she enters deep sleep, and also stays up late because thats the only time her and her boyfriend can talk. And i totally understand. I just wish i could help.

Something thats been up with me, ive slipped into a state of part mania, part depression. Im happy happy giddy some time, and crying at other times. Why?? *shrug* But i kind of enjoy the mania, and sometimes wonder if the depression is worth it to feel this good. But when im depressed, i sure as hell dont believe that.

Well, its bedtime for me. Talk to ya later internets.

Mad and sad?

So my mood swings have been pretty bad the last few weeks. One interesting thing I've noticed is that my bad moods seem to come with other negative moods. One of those combinations is being sad and mad.

One time this seems to keep coming up is anything school related. Not being able to work on essays because I want to scream, not being able to pay attention in class because I don't like the teacher, etc.

But this time, its not school. My boyfriend Nick is a very interesting person. As is his schedule and habits. He currently is unemployed (which he really should fix!), and so has lots of free time. He has a roommate as well. Both are gamers and night owls. And along with all this, his sleeping schedule is whack. He normally sleeps for 8 hours, and is awake for 18. That adds to 26, not 24. So each day, he goes to sleep/wakes up about 2 hours later.

So if I need to ask him a question quickly, I either have to wake him or make judgement without it. Also, sometimes he sleeps during the only times I can talk. That really sucks. But what stinks most of all, is him waking up just to spend time with me. Im selfless, I don't want people to inconvenience themselves for me. He makes the good point that he has tons of time to sleep, but my emotions don't listen.

*sigh* He reads this on occasion, so I really should stop. I got new glasses today. Transitions and prescription sunglasses (car windshields block UV light, with activates transitions). And I also have a surprise coming in the mail. I know what it is, but you don't (unless you=Nick).

Sleep time?? Hopefully...

Geek Cred

So, I am frequently called a geek or nerd. And I embrace it fully. Except when people try and take it away. Before this weekend, I had not seen Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. *gasp!* Why? I always saw Star Wars as a big action movie. I see that I am wrong now, but thats what I saw. Lord of the Rings? When dad tried to get me to watch it, I was too young to appreciate it. And then once I hung out with geeks, I was almost condemned.

I dont show my true anger to people. But this is one thing that just may end with me slapping somebody. A nerd is someone with knowledge. A person can geek out about anything. They can be football geeks, Magic: The Gathering geeks, movie geeks, etc. I NEVER CLAIMED I WAS A STAR WARS OR LORD OF THE RING GEEK!!! Same with Firefly, Serenity, or Doctor Who before I started watching it. You can not take away my geek cred for things I dont claim to be a geek about.

The purpose of movies is to enjoy them, correct? Well, I forced myself to sit and try to pay attention to Star Wars IV-VI. I dont really like them. And if I dare utter those words in public, I will be shot with negative attention. Lord of the Rings is awesome though.

Ive been getting more irritable lately, and its showing. Ive almost slapped friends for trivial reasons (sorry Caitlin!). Ive considered telling people who 'take away' my geek cred to shut up and crawl back in their hole. And the reaction I would get? "Geesh, sorry Kiyah." And the next day, I would be ridiculed again.

So I am going to sit through movies that may not enjoy, because my friend group demands it of me. I will watch the rest of Star Wars, and LOTR, whether I want it or not. Just to say ive done it. Go me.

Experiences

So, I am undiagnosed, but it is heavily believed that I have Bipolar disorder (along with maybe some ADHD). This has impacted my life greatly recently, because I have been feeling it more and more.

A week ago, Tuesday, I was almost completely non-functional. I couldent concentrate or do anything without crying. I stayed home from school. When my mom got home, she took away the Kindle I was reading on and my cell phone. Her logic makes sense, if I stay home, no luxuries. But at that moment, it may have been the worst thing to do. My boyfriend had just been trying to convince me that I was wrong, I dont deserve to be isolated. And that isolation was the worst non-violent punishment our system has come up with.

I slept, and mom woke me up to say we were going to one of my fav restaurants, Mizuki Fusion. My eyes were puffy and swollen, I felt like I couldent open them all the way. I went out in public like this, but sullenly. The overwhelming sadness had gotten a little better, but not by a whole lot. I slept some more, then a day later got my period. Of course, the whole episode was blamed on that.

I do have a psychologist. I do talk to him about these sorts of things. But its just been so bad these past few weeks. Any amount of stress makes me want to cry, and I want to hit anyone that comes near. I try to refrain, and not let it show, but I do end up being a bit snippy. And I say "Sorry!!" to anyone I may have snipped at and hurt.

I have Pathfinder (role playing game, like Dungeons and Dragons) tomorrow. With my best friend, boyfriend, and others. Actually, we are a group of three couples. Weird how that worked out. I should go to bed now. I havent been getting the most sleep lately... But I dont want to leave my computer, where my source that strips the sadness is.

It may be argued that I dont know love, but I can believe that I have come close. He is near and dear to me, and we fit each other well. He strips away the sadness and loneliness, and just makes me smile and happy.

Well, good night.

Amazing weekend, sucky Monday

This past weekend I spent most of my time with my boyfriend. Saturday, we drove up to the cities to drop his roommate off at a bus station to go to Canada. We wandered around the cities some, then drove to Burnsville. We went into the Burnsville Center and visited Cinnibun and some pretzel place. I didn't feel like shopping, so we then went home. When we got home, we hung out until my curfew. I had periods where I would become distant and sad, but he would always try to pull me back to happiness. Most of the time it worked. Or I just hid the sadness. He made me a pizza, and I feel really really bad that I only had about half a slice. I couldn't stand to eat anything more. All I had that day was a piece of banana bread, a Cinnibun, and that half slice of pizza.

The next day, Sunday, I spent at home on the computer. I played PokeMMO (awesome game) with my boyfriend, and just relaxed. I finished up a rough draft for a paper, luckily. I felt so angry for no reason whatsoever that I just wanted to delete the whole thing. When my bf heard that, he asked for a copy so he could back it up. I ended up keeping it, but rewriting it. Then played more PokeMMO.

And now it is Monday. In first hour (Calc 1), I was unable to sit still. I had to be moving, and I couldn't concentrate on the lesson. Also, our teacher must have been wired on caffeine today. But my attention span is non-existent. I'm supposed to be reading articles for English, but I can barely focus on writing this. My mind wanders, and I have to keep moving in some way. If that means typing, then I will type. Aaannndddd now I want to cry. Great. I just wish all of this would go away. For good.

Coffee :(

So, its english class again. And this time, I have an embarrasing story to tell. I got to english class a tiny bit after the bell rang, and a classmate shut the door in my face. When he opened the door, I gave him a playful shove. Well, he moved farther than I thought. He hit the teachers desk, spilling her coffee. So we both ran to get paper towels. So. Embarrasing.

But whats scary to me is that I felt anger. I try not to get angry at people, but I felt a sliver of anger for Tucker, then for the teacher. I quickly supressed it, and almost burst into tears. But, life goes on, and I gave my presentation.

Backtracking some more, this morning I woke with a panic attack. Last night, I logged off of Skype at my computer and logged on on my phone. When I looked, my boyfriend Nick was offline. Which is odd, because 1, I knew he was on the computer and 2, his Skype only logs off when his computer is off. So I went to bed thinking something may have gone wrong. Then, at 5AM, I woke up in a panic. I started texting and IMing Nick. He didnt respond. I knew he was still up. At about 5:30, he finally logged back on. Turns out his phone had locked up and stopped recieving messages. So he was safe. I was relieved untill this class.



For those of you reading (I know it isnt many. Like... just Caitlin), what adventures should I send my Pathfinder character, Aysuna on? Ive already posted the first chapter. The first adventure is going to be called 'Dragon Bait'. But I need three more.


~Koopa Kiyah~

Aysuna - Every adventure has a start

 Aysuna is my current roleplaying character. This is her story.

     It was bright outside, the wind playing with the leaves on the trees, altering the shadows on the lush green grass. There was a little girl, a half-elf, playing underneath the tree. Her hair was as dark as night, and her eyes were the color of the sea and shone with the intensity of a full moon. She had two toy men and a toy dragon that were fighting each other.
    “Die you beast!” She made the first say. “Ya!” The other yelled. There was a chuckle behind her, and she turned around to see a human male with short black hair and deep brown eyes.
    “Father!” She yelled as she ran to him.
    “Hello Aysuna,” He smiled as he held her close. He was about to say something he didn't want to. She could see it on his face. “Listen to me, okay?” She smiled up at him anyways. “I’m going to have to go for a while. I'll be back someday to look after you and your mother, but for now I must go off,” She looked sad, but suddenly cheered up.
    “Are you going to come back a hero?” She asked excitedly. She remembered her father going away for a little bit on a team to fight a dragon that was threatening to bother the village. He gave her a sad smile.
    “Yes, I hope so.” He detached himself and turned around. “And Aysuna? Happy birthday. Remember, I love you.”
   
    There was a yell from across the house, “Aysuna, Aysuna, come on!”
    “Wait one second! I just woke up!” I sighed. I couldn't get that day out of my head. The day that Father left us. Eventually I stumbled my way into the living room. There was an elf with long, shiny blonde hair. She turned around and smiled. Her brilliant blue eyes sparkled with joy and excitement.
    “It would be a shame if you didn't even wake up for your own birthday!” She exclaimed. I was finally twenty years old, I realized at that moment. I am an adult. I can do what I want. I threw on a smile.
    “Of course I wouldn't Mother,” I said. “Though I want to tell you something.” This wasn't going to go over well. I knew that her reaction wasn't going to be the best. “Sometime soon, maybe a week, maybe a month, I want to start on an adventure. Something grand.” Her face fell.
    On this day, fifteen years ago, my father left. He was supposed to go on a grand adventure. Every year he sent us a letter, always written on my birthday. He would tell us of great adventures, killing dragons, bartering with orcs, and negotiating with fey. I briefly wondered how long it would take the letter to get here this year.
    “What about your job?” She asked after a while. My job, of course she would ask about that.
    “Mother, I work in a tavern. I would think you would be glad to get those dirty Dwarven hands off of me.” She actually looked surprised.
    “Just remember Aysie, those men pay you.” She did have a point. But I was done with this topic. I wandered over and looked at what she was standing in front of. It was a cake.
    “Oh, you didn't have to!” I exclaimed. She knew I loved cake, and we so rarely got it anymore. “How much did it cost?”
    “I didn't buy it.” I looked at her, confused. “He did,” She said, pointing to the door. In the door stood a miracle. It was my father. He looked worn down. I realized that fifteen years takes a toll on a human, even if it didn’t show on Mother.
    “Fa-Father?” I finally managed to stutter out. This was unreal. He couldn’t be here after all he put me and Mother through. I almost threw him out. Until I noticed he had a long box, wrapped in cheap brown paper. “What is that?” I asked as I pointed to the box.
    “It’s your present.” He looked nervous, and kept throwing glances at Mother, and I realized she had no idea either. “I thought since you were twenty now, an adult, you might want this.” He set the box on our small table. It seemed innocent enough. I walked over and started unwrapping it.
    “It’s... Oh... Thank you so much Father!” All my resentment was forgiven. I gave him a smile. In the box was a bow. The bow that my great-grandfather had given to his oldest son on his twentieth birthday, who gave it to his oldest son. Since I had no brother, the gift fell to me. “It’s beautiful. Thank you.”
    “I figured it was the best present I could give you, and your mother.” I looked at her, realizing what he was saying. He was going to stay here. He was going to stay with her until he grew old. Her face showed comprehension, then she ran over and practically jumped on top of him.
    “Odin, I can’t believe it.” She was genuinely shocked. She never thought he was going to return, even though she had never accepted another man.
    “Freya, I was always planning on coming back.” He said with a grand smile. “But now it seems that our little girl wants to go on an adventure of her own.” He must have been listening all along. I had been unpacking the bow and found a leather quiver with intricate designs, detailing the hunt of a dragon. I stood up tall when he spoke.
    “Yes, I would. I want to see the world like you have Father.” I said with confidence that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
    “Well, lets get you some gear. You can’t go out dressed in normal clothes. You’ll get hurt as soon as an enemy looks at you!”
    And so we set off. Mother didn’t seem too please, but as always she accepted me. Me and Father went to many stores, including a leather shop. The shopkeeper seemed to know my father, and gave me a set of leather armor on Father’s tab. I started to protest. He said that he would pay for it, seeing as he hasn’t been here for fifteen years. After picking up the rest of the gear I should need, it was nearly dark. We went back and it was decided that I wanted to leave as soon as possible. The next morning, I left my crying mother and set off on my wild adventures.

Hello World

Hello World!


Welcome to my weird sense of humor. That one applies to programmers.

My name is Kiyah ("Hello Kiyah!"), and ive wanted to start a blog for quite a while. Me and my friend Caitlin have decided that we will start blogs together! Neither of these blogs really have a purpose other than an outlet for us.

I am a senior in high school. Ya ya, boring boring. But no doubt im going to be asked my age. I also have a boyfriend, so dont try. He is a few years older than me, and a complete and utter nerd. He is adamant about me going to school and getting a degree in whatever I want, which happens to be Chemistry atm.

I have a weird set of interest as well. Ever heard of Hooping/Hoop Dancing? Well, go Google it! Doctor Who? Come get me, Doctar!! World of Warcraft and Eve Online? At least one a night. Ever heard of Civil Air Patrol? I have, im the Cadet Commander of our squadron.

Now currently, im in English class next to my friend Caitlin. She is reading everything I write in a British accent. It is quite hilarious. I want her to say 'beer can' because it sounds like 'bacon' in a Jamaican accent. But she wont :(.

I also am pagan (*GASP*!!!). I believe in the four spirits with the god and goddess. So 'oh my god' turns into 'oh my gods'. I follow the Threefold Law (three times what you give, returns to you), and 'an it harms none, do as thou wilt'. Basically I believe in karma. So I try to be the best and kindest person I can be.

Class is done, time to blog later!
