Which Craig Parker Character Are You?
YAY!! I'm Haldir. Craig Parker is such a hottie! So much better than Legolas. :)

Hmm...so I got an awful haircut. I don't know what form of aural agnosia this guy that cut my hair had....I told him "Make me look like this guy in the picture." Obviously he heard "Make me look like a bull dyke." Because that's exactly what happened.
I'm very upset about this turn of events.
I have lost another little chunk of the faith that I still had in humans. At least it's not a mullet.

I got to thinking...that last post maybe sounded like I don't like school. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact. I absolutely love school, and I don't mind studying...I just like the work to be non tedious. I've actually reevaluated my goals in life...or at least from school. I'm now planning on minoring in accounting...probably get my CPA. Yeah, not the most exciting thing in the world, but it gives me something almost assuredly rock solid to fall back on. And I think security is an excellent goal to have.
Hmm...so...give me some comments on the pic of myself I have posted. It kinda looks like I'm looking off expectantly into the future, while in the background the eddies of time swirl...but actually, I took the pic in the bathroom, in the mirror, so I had to kinda look forward and point the camera up into the mirror...then I changed the background (you don't wanna see my bathroom) so it matched the background of this page. Hmm...let me know!

Okay....I kicked ass in PreCal again today...but I've come to a couple of conclusions.
- I'm gonna have to learn trig.
- Accounting, if I don't spend 6 outside classroom hours per week on it, is gonna kick my ass.
Oh well...Off to study :(

GAH!
Accounting is one boring class to have homework in. Don't get me wrong...I'm learning in there, and it is somewhat interesting, but the homework is so tedious!! Oh well...just finished and it's time for bed.

Hmm...if I do say so myself, I kicked ass in PreCal on Friday. hehe...now you know my terrible secret...I'm a nerd. Gah, there's no school on Monday and I'm gonna be so bored.
The group from the chat meets regularly for coffee every Friday, so Matt and I caught a lil bit of that last night...we're gonna start attending more often. Hmm..is it unusual for a group of gay men to get together and just talk? I don't know, again I must cite my general inexperience with interpersonal relations with other gay men.
I'm thinking of maybe desiging a new blog template...maybe I'll just play around with it for a bit. Okay, that's it for now.

Hmm...in my human sexuality class, the instructor told the class that if anyone wanted to see gay behaviour, they should go to Rich's (a Houston area twinkie-dancy-disco-druggie club thingie). I, having had very limited experience with other gay people, really don't know if those types of people would be considered "normal" or not. I do hope that the gay community is not characterized by that group of people, however. I may or may not be a "normal" gay guy, but I like to think that I do have a modicum of moral decency...for example: the phrase "dating a few people" makes absolutely no sense to me, "first date" does not mean that's the second time you're having sex with someone (that you can remember), and "420" is about what time you sit down for an after school snack. Maybe I'm just bitter or jaded...maybe I actually appreciate the old school term "family values." I don't know...Maybe, if things had developed a little differently with me, I'd be one of the twinkie-dancy-disco-druggie types and I wouldn't care about it.

Hmm...Accounting was a bit boring...that may be the one class that I may have some difficulty in. Fun to learn though :)
Human Sexuality...hmm...how to put this...it seems, from first glance to be glorified porn. And so I took a second look...yup, it's still glorified porn :)
I really hope I'm the only fag in there when we talk about sexual orientation...that should be a trip.

Hmmm....Intro to PC Operating Systems...
Teacher seems cool...there're a few annoying people in the class that I've already identified. There's Mr. Sleepy...his eyes are always half closed. Either he's OD'd on benadryl or he's got some serious 420 issues. There's Mr. "My High School Computer Teacher This, My High School Computer Teacher That..." God he's annoying. Like we want to hear all about your teacher over and over and over. Then there's Mr. "I haven't used a Mac since elementary school". People really should keep their comments to themselves sometimes.
Okay...well, that was day one. Tommorow I have Accounting and Human Sexuality.

Today and tomorrow will be dedicated to my impressions of the first days of the classes I'm taking this semester. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I have Precalculus and Intro to PC Operating Systems. I haven't attended the PC OS class yet. But on the Precal class...
The class seems a bit rowdy. Many of them were in the same trig class last semester and, from the remarks of their grades, none of them are likely Rhodes Scholars candidates :). Hmm...wouldn't be so bad, except the worst of the bunch seem to take the best seats in the class, robbing the students who really want to learn of that opportunity. Oh well. The professor seems nice. I get the feeling that he leans a little my way, if you know what I mean. Not that that makes any difference, but I've found it's easier to learn from someone that you have at least something in common with.
I still have about an hour until my next class. I've only seen one person that I know from last semester so far today. Hopefully at least one person from my computer class last semester will be in the one I'm taking this sem. Okay, I think I'm rambling now, so I'll go ahead and go...after my next class I have to drop by the bookstore and get two or three more books (them buying back books is a REAL ripoff!), then go get some tags for my car. Next post will be about computer class.

Okay...more new stuff! I've added really cool instant messenger status icons over there on the side nav bar. It should be pretty obvious when I'm online...two or more of the little icons should have little lights floating around it. The AIM and the Yahoo send message links require you to have those services installed. The ICQ link does not. It is entirely web driven...unfortunately, that means I would be unable to respond to you except by email. I looked and looked for a service that would do the same for MSN, but to no avail. Nothing web based and nothing in a link. Also, it doesn't seem that the links to send a message in AIM or Yahoo work in Opera. This is unfortunate because I recommend Opera over just about any other browser. Opera does not seem to like "addresses" that start with aim: or ymsgr:...it does not know what to do with them. Umm...the ICQ status seems a bit sluggish sometimes to click on or off...I know I did the coding properly (I spent long enough debugging it!). Yes, well..it's very late now. I'm going to bed. G'night all

Gah...I feel like absolute crap. I went to bed last night and I was like totally freezing. So I go to bed really early (like 10:30) and I have a nightmare. I know it's a dream, but I can't wake myself from it. I don't know what was so scary about the dream...it was just about a big house. That's all I remember was the outside of the house...yeah, it was large, dark, and menacing, but other than that not particularly scary. So I woke from that at 4:30 this morning, and went directly back to sleep. I didn't have any dreams that I can remember and I woke at 10:30.
So I was supposed to help my stepmom take down outside Christmas decorations...Lets just say I didn't have to do very much of that. She sent me back upstairs (ugh..stairs), told me to take a shower and some pills and go back to bed. I slept till 4:30. Man, for getting that much sleep, you might think I would feel better. Oh well.

Yay! I got a pic up and I made a few small changes to the layout. I'm finally making this site "my own".
Serious question...where did you hear of this site? Please let me know in the comments for this post. I'm really dying to know. Thanks!

Hmm...I spent New Years with Matt.... I had a major blast :)
Lets see...we had some Butter Shots and finished off two bottles of champagne between the both of us. And we stayed up quite late just talking. So, as a consequence, we also stayed in bed rather late. But that's all good. I really enjoy being with him and being in his arms. Hmm...I'm missing him a bit now. I think that's about it for now.
