Tonight, I went over to Stephanie and Sami's to watchThe Last of the Moehicans for school. It was cool. still a good movie, though I kinda feel sorry for Montcalm, since he never really told the Natives to massacre the poor British. Although at least they gave the Brits weapons, which they didn't really have, and were kind oenough to engineer a mass defection of the Militia troops so that they could avoid the slaughter.

Anyway, Dina and Michelle also came over, to hang out and stuff, and watched part of it as well. And that was all cool. We hung out and stuff for a bit, but then... Then something happened that I'm just not comfortable with, and I just don't know if I could condone it, or sit though it again.

That would be the watching of hours of truly brain rotting reality TV show. I tried to keep my most derisive comments to myself, and stuck with the bafflement rather than the disdain. I will never understand how people can watch that stuff, and certainly not how they can watch that stuff and still have even an iota of compassion left for their fellow man. It just reenforces my thoughs on the shallowness and pettiness of most people, and then it baffles me even more that people can muster fascination for the 'characters' lives. It hurts my brain, and makes me feel very misanthropic. Why do good people do things like that? Why?

Sometimes, hanging out with outher people makes me feel really jaded and derranged, because I laugh at things that horrify others, or because I'm blasé about violence and gore.... Even dissapointed by thbe lack of it (although I did get to see someone get scalped!). And apart from those kinds of things, I often feel like I just have a really different idea of what sorts of things are in the world. Things like, oh, furry, and vore, and the fact that there exists a video about seeing how many naked Japanese girls will fit into a telephone booth, or things like polyarmory and serious pagans, or whatever, that makes me wonder about the rest of the world. I'm just feeling really out of touch with a lot of people. And I also wonder what people think of me. I'm quiet, and I wonder what people think that means?

Well... It is late, and I am going to bed. Goodnight everyone!

Well... I studied yesterday, and I've got the first section of my presentation done to my satisfaction. We'll see how the rest goes, I guess.

I am curious about my own work habits. it seems like I am always doing a constant amount of work, and it is hard to make myself do *more* than usual, which doesn't bode well for times like now, where I have so much to accomplish in so little time.

Right now, I need to foinish this presentation (for Thursday), work on marking papers for Hist 4000, and also study for my mat. culture exam (Tuesday). I guess I don't have to have the essays back until friday,. but still... If I have to do my presentation for Thursday, when else can I do them? Thursday night is the last day before I go to vist J&S and Fishy :o I will probably be doing laudry, to be honest -_- I could do some now and some later, but I worry about consistency. Well... maybe I should mark the ones that I know are going to be really good: ;p And strangely enough, I only seem to have seven essays, even though there are oh... ten or eleven people in the class? (I think one dropped out).

I guess I'll do some marling now, and then a bit of studying, and then come back to the presentation. Well, he won't be able to say that I haven't done a lot of research. everyone else used, like, three books for theirs (partly because that is all that was availiable), and my bibliography is over a page long, and incomplete so far -_- I hope I can actually come up with enough decent examples for this. Arr...

I need to get away from the computer, though, that's what I really need. -_-

What the hell is with the postal services lately? I sent out a million mails in the past three weeks, and as far as I know, only one arrived. Three went out the same day, oine the day after, and one a day or so after those..
