Island Five

[20:25] m4dn355X: I think I'm [level] 56.
[20:25] (anon): weak
[20:25] m4dn355X: Dude i've been playing for 2 days.
[20:25] m4dn355X: Gimme a break.
[20:26] m4dn355X: I just started after an entire year without L2.
[20:26] (anon): Weak.

... excerpt from a slightly frustrating convo with my buddy. SOMEONE is an L2 GEEK!

My long-overdue public opinion of gold farmers: THEY. SUCK. MULTIPLE. ___________.

That's right! You dirty robbers! You dumb customers! YOU ARE ALL DISGRACEFUL! IT'S PAYING TO SPEND MONEY (spending money x2)! After you buy your dumb Axe of Dragon-slaying +1123581321.14159265 for $200 and then lose it in a freak "transfering accident," then what do you do?! Even if you don't lose it all you're really gaining is the power to remove a dynamic entity from the screen somewhat quicker than before, only to have it respawn some minutes later. Jeezus Kroyst!

... Yep that's the highlight of today. Free for all JSettlers between Kass, Quad, Balex, and me. I was failing horribly at first but then right before my dumb Java client blew up I pulled ahead by 1 VP and then when I came back as another alias Kass went and pulled ahead with a dev card... Hahaha..... Great stuff. xD

Kass: 8 (EDIT: 9!!!!)
Me: 7
Alex/Quad: 4! <--- hahahaha

Alex claims to have had 4.. >.> It showed 2 though. ::suspicious::

... said often by Ms. Carlock, a "cool" teacher of AHS.

Wandering around in my thoughts today I realized that, strangely, all my teachers are in one way or another, considered cool teachers which then got me thinking, how did "cool teachers" become cool teachers? Did they spring out of the ground, or a more logical way, like being able to identify with their students? Some of my teachers use dry humor, some are able to talk to the students about everyday things like sports and music. This leaves a large number of "uncool" teachers, however. Not surprisingly a lot of those teachers are old and apparently aren't able to summon the energy to try and keep up with baggy jeans and loud rap music.

So then at the end of each year students pass along the word of which teachers are cool and those that are spawned from tar pits. This then possibly leads into a bias of class choices, choosing teacher over subject. Some teachers get less and less students because they aren't hip or cool enough to keep their students focused or interested and eventually some subjects are favored over others merely on force of prejudice.

You should see where this could lead, so how does the district get students interested in those classes that have sometimes been given hurtful labels by alums? How does society keep knowledge that is not willingly learned by a large majority of younger generations?

...since that terrifying day.

Back at the old house in El Cerrito I remember waking up and my mom shouts for us to come watch the TV. Boom! Second plane hits.

A lot of people didn't show up for school the next couple of days. Everything just... stopped. For one week nothing progressive happened. The entire U.S. basically shut itself in a hole.

Nowadays it makes me wonder why people are capable of doing such things. The question is always "why?" "When?" could be anytime, "where?" could be anyplace, "who?" could be anyone, "what?" could be anything, but "why?" is the big one. People who do things to freighten others, "terrorists," must have some kind of reason for what they do.

...

It sure doesn't feel like five years does it?

I've taken another step in life! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

... by purchasing a paintball gun. ::lol::

$150 bucks for a WGP Autococker Trilogy+ accessories. Not bad. :)

^ That name isn't as interesting as you might think. Go research it if you want.

Bahahaha... the "Settlers" party was fun.. xD We should change the name to "PDA Games" party. For you uniformed, PDA Games is a mini-game for Alien Homonid. And if you guys don't know what that is please take the next few minutes to bang your head against a WINDOW. I got in 15 minutes of Settlers before I had to go... >.> Stupid music lessons.
