term

I really don't know how to put this, so I'm just going to say it.

I got kicked out of the Monster Truck show for being too drunk to stand.

Alison: "I wonder if I should do that whole Diva Cup thing before I go out tonight."

Craig: "Dude, if anything is going to make you bleed tonight, it's going to be monster trucks."

When I applied to Universities, UVic and SFU, I wasn't really thinking too hard about things. I more or less just wanted to get it out of the way, and get back to not having to think about those things. I got the acceptance letter from UVic, I had been accepted into my second choice, I was lukewarm about the whole thing and knew I'd have to jump through more hoops to get where I wanted to be. I also applied to SFU at the same time. When SFU accepted me, I was actually excited. That was that, I was off to Vancouver.

If I don't like The Big City, and it turns out to be all those things that people who like small towns say it is, then I will find out for myself. If I like it, and I believe I will, then there's so much more to like about a bigger city. Maybe when I get down to specifics I won't like this Big City, and go find another.

My brain is completely wrapped up and twisted at the possibilities that changing location offer me. I can't tell which are which, but some are pipe dreams, some will happen, but all are possible and dependent on me, and I'm up to that.

I've spent a lifetime here doing something that I had dreamed of doing when I was younger. It was good and bad, but mostly good, and taught me so much and has made me amazingly skilled at what I do. I could stay and things would be great, but I need to close this chapter because I haven't plateaued yet.

Besides, you only get to reminisce when you leave.

hi guys its been almost a year since i last posted lol

Oh man, freaking Alison making ridiculous entries in my livejournal. If someone comes to your door and asks if I'm dead, do me a favour and say yes. I'll make it worth your while.

(Ice cream.)

Also, Hi everyone.

There's something inately satisfying about the whole ./configure and make process. I think I'll go compile a kernel for the hell of it.

Woo! Master Sargeant.

Work goes well. Life goes well. Going to go up to Camosun today, and try and register for classes, or at least fill out the form that you need to fill out. My luck has probably run out and I won't be able to avoid having to pay the $150 dollars this time.

I'd rather play World of Warcraft than play LiveJournal. It's much more rewarding. I can see myself playing it for a long time to come, particularly with the team work aspect that I encountered recently.

I'm still amazed that there's actually good and bad players in that game. At a cursory glance, the game appears to differentiate players based purely on how long they have spent playing their character, and gaining new levels. However, since there are a few handfuls of different skills to manage, each with a different use in a different situation, the good players are the creative and quick thinking players, who know when to use a particular skill.

Add team work in there as well. When you're part of a group, you've all got different skills and strengths, and the team that will be most succesful will be the team that plays to everyone's strengths, and works together. For instance, on the weekend our group of 5 was having trouble with a particular area (Stromgarde Castle), we kept dying because we weren't working together very well. Later on in the day, it was just 2 of us, and we managed the entire area with no problems.

I dunno, that's why I love this game. Just so you know. :P

Teehee.

Ultracrab is hiring!

Best monday ever! Doing well financially. Going back to school in summer, then September. And uh, I got my mount over the weekend.

That's all, for now.

I can't remember the last time I checked, or wrote in livejournal. I guess I do check it often. However, I didn't bother to check it all weekend, probably even before that. I could check the last time I wrote in it, but that's not the point.

I've been sick, and my muscles have been acting up, so I ended up hurting my neck/shoulders this weekend. Now I've got to do work all week and will maintain that injury for a while. Oh well.

Feel like I haven't been doing much lately, but I don't really care. Now that it's basically summer, I'll do more. Was thinking about learning to sail (then I could take people sailing!) or drive or something. :)

Eerie.
