And fascists do it precisely, and with complete control.

So I'm working on my psychology research paper. This entry will serve as my storage, because I have neither my flash drive nor my notebook. My topic? Whether May-December romances are successful/worth pursuing.

I really want to use this one, but I don't have access. Any clues on how to get to it?

Mother was right: Ixquick pwns Google.

Apparently this whole "Eve" mess is because roommate K and Eve's roommate want to move in together. They deny writing the notes (which I've compared and they have nearly the exact same wording) but that aside they are basically manipulating the two of us (including one trying to bribe me) into moving in together when both of us have made clear that this is not something we are comfortable with. And further more, remember how I mentioned I hate being manipulated? They broke the rule, and now anything they say will be taken with a giant heap of salt.

Eve and I talked and came to the same conclusion, mainly that we think this stinks, so we are dragging at least one RA into this, and I'm keeping the evidence of the notes from "us".

Protip: Never try this shit on a Criminal Justice major. I can and will see through this. I also have a gut instinct that unfortunately turned out to be right about this whole mess.

I bought this beautiful sketchbook at Michael's yesterday.
A Strathmore four hundred page sketchbook of 11"x14" recycled paper.
It's glorious. I haven't had a truly decent sketchbook in almost two years.

I should probably get a set of new pencils as well... Maybe the 9H to 9B set, since I pretty much only have 2Bs, and an HB here and there. And I want some Prismacolor colored pencil since I've only got... Crayola... lol

I think I may invest in some acryllic paint sets and an easel at some point too. I really miss just dicking around in the art room back in the day, and playing around with the supplies I got to use for free... Can't do that anymore... Now I have to buy my OWN supplies. Ick!

Anyway, I was reading over a poem earlier and I feel I've really been lacking in creative expression lately. I mean, taking a bunch of philosophy classes is exercising the right side of my brain and all, but I'm just thinking in terms of other people's creative thoughts instead of having my own, which won't do at all. And I haven't drawn anything properly since August.

Maybe I should go write a poem! Or a story! Or think about important things! Or draw something!

Orrr I can playy around online for a little longer, take a nap, and THEN get to creatively expressing myself. :)

I think I solved the mystery of the note and the mysterious "Eve", and managed to confirm my instincts that. It wasn't the girl named Eve who wrote it, it was the roommate of the girl named Eve is who is trying to get her to stop playing WOW and meet people in the outside world.

That explains it. My main clue was when this other girl (the roommate of Eve) asked me to come up to her room to meet her roommate Eve. Then it got weird when Eve said that I'd left her a a note, when I've never even been up to the fifth floor where she lives. The roommate's behavior was also suspicious, since when she came into my room she went right for the note and said it had been written by her roommate, so why don't we come up and meet her? and she kept pushing me to talk to Eve once we got up there when it was obvious that Eve was perfectly happy playing WOW and ignoring everyone.

I smelled a rat, and sure enough a quick glance around the room told me that the roommate's handwriting matched that of the writing in the note.

Ah-hah. So, basically I was stereotyped into being a geek (I am, but not that kind of geek) and set up with someone. I sort of appreciate the gesture and can understand why the roommate did that, I don't appreciate being lied to and being manipulated. That's a surefire way to piss me off.

So, next time I see the well-meaning roommate I will make clear that while I understand what she was trying to do and that it had good intentions, do not do that again.

One reason this made me a bit angry is that while I know that I value privacy, and though I may appear to be the person who never comes out of their room (see several posts back when I was worried about that) since then I have managed to meet several people already and know when I need human company, and in fact Jen just called me back (she's lost somewhere in Cambridge and I helped her figure out where she was). However, you can't force someone to come out of their shell, and manipulating others to make someone do that is not cool.

Mystery solved, but I'm actually not as pissed as I could be. At least there was good intent behind an otherwise stupid plan.

So far nothing has happened today other than going down to get breakfast, but so far it's nice. I woke up around 11:30, while the other two roommates and one's boyfriend are only up within the last half hour. Said boyfriend was actually very much a gentleman while he was here, and he's welcome to come back as far as I'm concerned.

I went down to get breakfast earlier and talked to Ingo, a kid from Germany who lives down the hall. The first day we were here I helped him hook up his internet, and we've chatted occasionally since then. One thing I'm constantly amused by is the fact that most of the other girls up here are head-over-heels ga-ga over him and have trouble talking to him, since he is pretty nice looking. Not me, for obvious reasons, but it's amusing to watch the other girls walk into doors whenever he's around. And the funniest part is that he seems to have no idea that he has that effect on the heterosexual female population.

Speaking of secret admirers, that person who wrote me the note the other day never showed up. I'm slightly ticked off, but I guess that's how it is sometimes. However, if one of my floormates indicates that they set me up with a fake person like that I'll break their arm. Okay, maybe just bruise it. My point is, don't do that to me. Brings back way too many bad memories. As I was waiting I talked with a few people, two of whom were swooning over Ingo to my amusement.

In a few minutes I'm going to see if Jen down the hall is awake, since we'd talked around going up to a Target near here. Even if it's not with her I might just want to go up to the North End or Cambridge today and just look around. As they say, the world is my oyster.

So poopy,  The show was canceled last night.  the rain just wouldn't let up.  And yeah we could have performed in the rain, but who would have come sat in the rain to watch us?  And wouldn't we have to change the show to Singin' in the Rain?

So, ST and I went out to dinner and then hung out with the cast at Rob's house for a bit.  Then it was a late night of WoW.

But today the sun is shining, the woods lie open and inviting!  We can do the show tonight:)

I found a lot of Caps for this Mood Theme @  bolly_caps</lj>   postet by  andrivete_icons</lj> 

I need to stop watching this Silent Hill "Let's Play" now. It's seriously creeping me out. Really. I keep looking over my shoulder even though I'm in a well-lit room.

Pyramid Head is scaaaary~! ;_; My reaction to him was basically the same as the player's: "Um....is that who I think it is? Is that Pyramid Head? ...Run, James! Run! Run. Run. Run. Run in the opposite direction. Never go back in that direction again. ...I have to go back in that direction, don't I?"

I should stop. I won't be able to sleep. But it's so good!

Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

There's a point where internet bullying goes too far.

A girl on sheezyart posted a screencap of a fangirl thinking that another person was actually shadow and giving him her address.

So many buttpatters on the screencap going "LOLOLOLOL IMMA GONNA TROLL HER". What the fuck is wrong with people nowadays? Where did human decency go? Yes, the girl was retarded by giving out her address but she didn't deserve her address to be reposted everywhere else.



In b4 "But Wen! You're supposed to be a jaded bitch and shouldn't be surprised that people are being meen on the interwebz!"


I think I just proved that I have a heart. Shit.


[ETA]
Wow. This girl has the most backward fucking logic I've ever seen.


Girl who posted screencap: Oh, I care, it's why I'm doing this whole thing <3

Me: To be completely honest, that's some backwards logic you're toting.

What you did was harassment and potentially harmful to the girl. Now anyone with internet access can get to her place and violate her constitutional rights. :| If you had really wanted to prove a point, you should have just blurred out the address. It gets the same message across.

Ask anyone with an actual head on their shoulders and they'll agree with me.


Stop with your excuses, anyone can see that you're simply trying to come across as the "good guy" in this.



Where the fuck is this girl getting her damn logic?!

I'm settling in at JCMU now. I have a nice large apartment-style dorm room and the staff is great. I'm also getting along fairly well with most of the students. It's a pity that JCMU is located in Hikone, though, because I feel like there is literally nothing to do around here. I miss Tokyo dreadfully.

Tokoro de, my sensei told a joke the other day but I couldn't quite get it. I don't think my level of Japanese is high enough. I was hoping someone here knew it or could explain it to me since I swear I've seen it online before. The basic premise from what I could understand was that a man and women were driving one night and the man sees something red. It sounded like hand or glove. Then the woman says something about a white glove?

Can anyone clarify for me why this is so funny? When he told this joke everyone was quiet because we couldn't figure it out but my other sensei totally cracked up. I think one or two level four kids got it but level three and down couldn't quite riddle it out.

I really wish I'd brought my Labyrinth DVD with me. I want to watch it so badly right now. I did see the Japanese version for sale at Tsutaya in Shibuya. I should have bought it. Do you think they subtitle it? I can't imagine how they would dub it with the songs.

Speaking of which, I tried to find Magic Dance when we went to karaoke the other night but I could only find Starman and I was sad. Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks Magic Dance would be an exceptional karaoke experience. Although singing AQUA's Barbie Girl and some Spice Girls songs with everyone was epic fun and almost made up for it.

Michelle and I tried to sing Stray Cat by alice nine. but it ended up being too fast for us to read the hiragana. :(

I think I'm going to start working on Guidelines, Part 2.

For some reason, I have developed some sort of southern alter ego. I wrote this:

let it bleed out all over the floor 'cause he don't want it and i ain't takin' care of it all by myself...
I keep saying y'all and ain't and dropping the g's off of the ends of words. What is wrong with me?! I get weird when the leaves change. I am in a completely retro mood, 70's rock and Victorian clothing. I want to wear thick silver makeup and piles of lace. I am rereading Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason" and I don't know why. I hate Kant with a passion. I was reading Joseph Campbell's "Myth's of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal" the other day and he was discussing Kant and Schopenhauer. I was like, that's a good idea; I'll read some Kant and Schopenhauer again! I was trying to explain the difference between a priori knowledge and a posteriori knowledge to someone and I immediately lost them. Shame I think. Ah well, c'est la vie! I'm rambling now...something I'm doing more frequently now. I had a complete breakdown yesterday. I think I'm going to be strange for the next couple of days. Everything looks different, a little off. I'll find my center again and all will be well.
