Getting ready to go see a show that my girlfriend is in. From what I hear it's a series of social commentary/social justice sketches. Apparently her character takes photos of a gay couple and posts them on the internet, and later the gay couple commits suicide. All of this is done without any spoken lines and only the accompaniment of a string quartet. Morbid, yes. The other sketches range from sexuality and race to Twitter. Should be interesting. Afterward I'm going to see The Social Network.

Haha, I'll post it in the RL pictures topic once my friend uploads it from her camera. It wasn't a full fohawk because my hair isn't long enough, but still waaayyy different from anything I've ever worn before. And yeah, I loved getting 3 semesters of programming in before college. It was really convenient.

Are you in high-school? If you are I didn't know they offered classes like that. They don't/didn't when I was in high-school, anyway. We had computer classes like that in high school. I chose to take Java instead of graphics and such though. The fohawk's gone now. Couldn't stand having half a bottle of gel in my hair. Good news, I possibly got a new lulzy Facebook profile picture out of it.

He's mine! Back off! [hide=] <3: u Serp. [/hide]

So one of the guy cheerleaders on my floor kidnapped me from my room while I was doing my homework and proceeded to do my hair. I now have a fohawk in honor of Jersey Shore.

Then it's a date. :thumbup: Don't tell Steve!

Pro! <3:

Fun doing some woodcutting with you last night. We should do it again sometime! :3

Just discovered a good 3 shows that I want to see in the next few months. Josh Ritter on Feb. 15th Keller Williams on March 4th Bobby Long on March 24th Kaki King on March 28th (Already knew about this before today) :thumbup:

Rumor confirmed. Oh well. At least I have the Kaki King concert to look forward to a few days before that. Today my philosophy class got canceled. Yay!

So there's a rumor going around campus that B.O.B. is the concert coming to campus this year. Of all the lousy stinking...*muffled ranting*

Apparently this has been debunked. http://screenrant.com/matrix-4-5-bill-and-ted-3-keanu-reeves-rob-97796/

I'm a sucker for anything Matrix related, so this is good news to me. :thumbup:

Was gonna go out with my girl last night, but I could tell that she didn't feel like it. So we stayed in and watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and had just as much fun. It was nice to have some alone time with her for once. Today we're going to a basketball game before she has practice for a show that she's in. Oh, and the Black Keys are on Austin City Limits tonight as well, so I'm pretty pumped.

2nd snow day in 2 weeks today. Hoping for a re-freezing tomorrow so we get off again. Not keeping my hopes up though, so I'm doing my homework now.

Thank you so much for the kind words Grade. I think it goes without saying what I think about you. <3: This actually got me a little teary! Especially considering what I'm posting for today. This week I've made the decision to mostly, if not fully, retire from Runescape. This has nothing to do with the return of the Old Wilderness, and I cannot stress that enough. My life over the past 6 months has changed drastically, in Runescape as well as in real life. My clan, Goldskillers, closed earlier this year as many of our longstanding members, and most of my Runescape friends, moved on. The only things keeping me playing were Crew here at Tip.it, my remaining friends, and the goals that I had. Earlier this fall, I reached 2 of those goals, 99 HP and Def, and I realized that my love for the game, and even my love for slayer, was just not there anymore. By that point, I had started college (university) and finally started a relationship that I did not want to put in jeopardy because of a game. I just don't have the time to commit to this game anymore. This game has been such an enormous part of my teenage life. Hell, I've spent over 100 days on it! I can say that many of my friendships created here have gone beyond the game and I've very happy about that. These bonds are something that older generations didn't have; they are something completely unique to our generation and the generations to come. The world is getting smaller and smaller. It's pretty amazing to say that I've worked with people from every continent except Antarctica! As I look back on the first few pages of this blog, I see how naive I was, and how much of a [puncture] I used to be at times. I hate it, but the growth that occurred during these 71 pages and however many years is mind-blowing. I'm not going to make a specific list of people that I want to thank. You all know who you are and how much of an impact you've had on my Runescape career as well as my life. I tip my hat to you all, whether you're still here or not. To those that I have outside connections with, be it Facebook or otherwise, I look forward to continue our friendship. I still plan on frequenting Tip.it, so you'll still be seeing me around in OT. You never know, I may be back in a month or two, but I doubt I'll be playing at the level that I did in the past. Maybe just some skilling. Thanks for reading over the years. ~Diesel

I'd love to see: Friday: The Black Keys (again), Interpol, Cee Lo Green, Flogging Molly, and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Saturday: Arcade Fire, Cage the Elephant, and Animal Collective Sunday: The Strokes, The National Too far away for me to travel to. I'll have to keep my hopes up that Lollapalooza become relevant again or try and get tickets for Bonnaroo.

Speaking of, I watched 5 1/2 episodes of 6 Feet Under yesterday. 5 1/2 because company arrived halfway through the sixth episode so I had to stop. Oh, and an usher from my parish has decided to friend me on Facebook and creepily reply to my wall posts via inbox message until I accept his request. Problem is, I can't just block him because he's also a family friend. Lucky me. About to head off to my calculus 170 class, which is turning out to be a complete joke so far. We literally got through 3 problems in 50 minutes. That wouldn't be that bad if they were in-depth questions, but these were like, "Find the different equations of this piece-wise function" where the function only has 2-3 differences and they're really simple. Oh well, free math credits.

I've always been someone that needs his 8 hours of sleep every night or else I become a very unhappy camper. The longest I've ever stayed up was about 26 hours on the way home from Italy. Our flights were horrible (delayed, bumpy, etc.) and I was at my wit's end by the time we got home.

Last night and this afternoon a bunch of girl friends and I had a movie marathon. We mostly alternated between chick flicks and comedies. Later tonight we're all going to a basketball game and depending on the outcome, we'll either go out partying or continue our movie watching. I'm hoping for the former, because I don't think my rear end can stand sitting through another movie marathon. Until then, I have 40 songs by Oldies artists to memorize for a History of Rock class. Enjoying most of them, except I'm not really a fan of the gospel or doo-wop songs. Oh, and Happy Birthday Bows!

Listening to the first set of 40 songs for my History of Rock class. Currently studying old times blues (Classic Blues, Country Blues, Chicago Blues, etc.) as well as some gospel, and early Doo-Wop and Rock n Roll. B.B. King, Robert Johnson, Ma Rainey, Muddy Waters, and many more.

Is this topic even serious?

Ewww I'm a Gemini now? I want my crab back. :cry:

Getting an app to extend battery life is counter intuitive. To work the app must run, by running it sues memory etc which uses battery life. Not necessarily. Having an app like a task killer to stop apps from running in the background would save battery life. My Droid 2 Global doesn't have great battery life either. I think it just comes with the smart phone territory.

So yesterday during my snow day we decided to go night sledding. I, of course, managed to slam myself into a fence, effectively cracking off a third of my middle finger's nail. I didn't notice the blood running down my hand until I saw it because my hands were already numb from the cold. Decided to have last go at the hill, bloody and all, before heading in to bandage myself up. Just finished up classes for today. Going to a basketball game later on. About the house explosion, we had something like that happen to a meth lab near my old house once.
