I got way too drunk last night and now I feel like total shit and I don't want to do anything. I'm going to end up wasting the weekend because of that. FUCK! And I'm all irritable and I've already slept most of the day away. And this is my 100th post. But who fucking cares.

School: Semester 1, Day 20
I'm pretty drunk at the moment, so today's post is going to have to wait until tomorrow. I guess it's actually yesterday's post. Is going to have to wait until today. I didn't expect this to happen but I ended up drinking way too much. Something like 15 drinks tonight. Sigh... I'm dizzy. Tomorrow.

School: Semester 1, Day 19
In Trig today the teacher removed one of the sections that was supposed to be on Monday's test. So now not only are we a day behind, but also a whole extra section. She even said she's going to remove a section from the next test and put both those sections onto our final instead. This means the final is not only cumulative but will also contain the full sections missed on previous tests. Not to mention we are now currently 2 sections ahead of the test schedule because we pushed it back from today to Monday. Sigh...
I realized today that this Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl book I'm reading for History class isn't so bad. It's certainly going to be easier to test on since it has a story, and some of it is actually interesting, albeit depressing.
I just finished writing my essay for Philosophy class, and I think it's pretty good. He was very specific today that he wants it right around 500 words, so I intentionally shortened things up and kept it brief. The thing is only one and a half pages long and 564 words. I think my conclusion is weak but I couldn't come up with anything better, and I don't really care. I don't think he'll care either, he doesn't seem nit-picky like that. I'm probably going to post the essay here, but I'm not sure when. It'll either be tomorrow after I turn it in, or the day I receive it back, which would likely be Monday.
Now it's time to study my History stuff. I have that test and also the Philosophy test tomorrow. With no Trig it's going to be a short day and an early start to the weekend. Woo hoo!

The Terrorist Penis
You have to check out this little story from the Witt and Wisdom blog. It's quite old (2003) but nonetheless hilarious...
My Penis May Be a Terrorist
School: Semester 1, Day 18
I forgot to mention that in my Trig class even though we won't be taking the test until Monday, we will be starting the new material tomorrow, the last day of class for this week. I do not like doing this. It leaves this weird sort of overlap feeling in my brain, a feeling like I might need to know that stuff on the test. I wish these fuckers would just suck it up and take the test on it's scheduled date.
Anyhow I'm now taking a break from studying/homework. I spent the first 3 hours doing 2 sections of Trig problems because I somehow managed to get myself one section behind the class in homework. I stopped doing the Trig assignments because I was completely burnt out, took a break for dinner, and then continued with Philosophy.
Today we were assigned an essay in which we are supposed to choose between Hard or Soft Determinism, Libertarianism or Frankfurt's "Deep Self" theory, all of which deal with causality, free will and moral responsibility. I have a problem with this. We haven't even covered Frankfurt yet! We're going to do that tomorrow, Thursday. The damn essay is due on Friday before the test. How am I supposed to make a decision on the subject without being fully informed. OK, so I read some of his writings on the subject in our book, and I found it to be so utterly confusing that I just discarded the whole idea and wrote the essay without even considering it. I already had my beliefs set anyway, and he said in class today that our own argument is what is important, not our knowledge of theirs. I'm considering posting it here when it's finished but I think that it might be a bit of a problem in case someone takes it and uses it for an essay in some other philosophy class. Am I morally responsible if a person chooses to take my work for his own? Hahaha. I crack myself up.
Anyway I still have a lot of History studying to do for THAT test Friday so it's back to the grind for me.

School: Semester 1, Day 17
I'm taking a break from hardcore History studying to post this, so I'm going to review the day and break down my test study habits.
Yet again my Trigonometry test has been pushed back from Thursday to Monday. This time it was based on a class vote on the teacher's offering to move to Monday if we wanted the extra time. I don't want the extra time. I want to relax all weekend. I'm going to relax anyway because this stuff is easy enough that I don't have to worry about it much. The good thing is it does take some load off of me this week since I have 2 other tests on Friday.
I'm studying for my History test by rewriting the things and people from my notes in a sort of double-column form and forcing myself to re-read all the notes and pick out what is important. Again there is no textbook so my notes are all I have. Well, and the internet. This type of studying feels very intense to me. It actually makes me kind of nauseous.
For Trig I'm just doing the homework problems. Nothing else is necessary.
For Philosophy my studying is less intensive, however I might need to do something like I do for History with all the handouts I've received and the readings from the book. So far I have just read over the handouts and highlighted them. This might be sufficient but I don't know since the amount of information seems to be much greater this time around.
This week sucks because I already feel exhausted and it's only Tuesday. My brain feels like mush.

School: Semester 1, Day 16
It was back to school today and a tough one for me. I was very tired this morning and struggled to stay focused and awake all day. I hope I can get better sleep tonight so it doesn't continue into tomorrow because I have a test Thursday in Trig and two test on Friday, History and Philosophy.
The History test should be about on par with the last one and I should be able to execute the same study pattern and come out just fine. The Trig test should be fairly easy as well but with little studying. The Philosophy test on the other hand is likely going to contain way more information than the last test: 4 more readings in the book and at least 4 more handouts than the previous unit, and in the same amount of time. It is going to be a rough test, but luckily we are having a quiz tomorrow so I should get an idea of how well I know the stuff so far.
I spent something like 6-7 hours studying/doing homework tonight. I think it's going be a long week.
The Big Electron
I was saddened this morning to find out that the great George Carlin had passed away of heart failure yesterday at the age of 71. He was my all-time favorite stand up comedian. I first heard his routine Jammin' in New York on HBO when I was about 9 or 10 years old, and I fell in love with him. I have since seen all of his HBO specials and enjoyed every minute.
Words may have been his greatest passion, so I'll end this post with some of his - the last bit of Jammin' in New York:
"I think we’re part of a greater wisdom than we will ever understand. A higher order. Call it what you want. Know what I call it? The Big Electron. The Big Electron...whoooa. Whoooa. Whoooa. It doesn’t punish, it doesn’t reward, it doesn’t judge at all. It just is. And so are we. For a little while."
Take care out there George.

Special Thanks
I want to thank dbkundalini from Pimp My Skivvies for linking to and promoting my head-shaving post on his blog. It's my first link to the blog and my first point of authority on technorati. Feels good...
Anyway, check out his blog, he posts about politics, blogs he likes and some personal stuff too.
Grrr...
I got pretty drunk Friday night and I'm irritable as fucking hell today so I've come to decision that I'm not going to drink anymore. I haven't been this irritable for over one year. It doesn't help that my Battlegroup in WoW sucks ASS at battlegrounds. It took 5 tries to win Warsong Gulch. It's so damn frustrating.
And let me ask you this... Why is it that half the fucking videos on youtube don't load? Answer that for me please? I fucking hate it so much. IT'S THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING EVER! Ok...maybe not the most frustrating. But it's up there, damnit.
I feel like I'm all over the place. I better shower and just lie down. I hate feeling unstable like this...

School: Semester 1, Day 15
It was a leisurely day at school today, easy history and interesting Philosophy. I don't have much time because I'm going out so more later.
A story for you
I was sitting in the hallway a ways down from my Philosophy room doing some studying before class. People were consistently walking by, just one or two at a time, going out the doors to my left, up the stairs or into the Philosophy department behind me, or down the hallway to my right, for the first 25 minutes or so that I was there. A few more minutes passed and I realized that quiet had taken over. I looked to my left and to my right and saw no one. Even outside the doors I saw no one in the quad. The thought that entered my head was "You know, I could be naked right now and no one would know about it."
School: Semester 1, Day 14
In history class today my professor called me Adam. I corrected him the first time, which was the day he handed back the 1st test. Apparently it didn't stick. My handwriting is bad, but I can't see misreading a "d". There is definitely no "d". The letters all clearly have no top except the "A". Sigh...
In any case tomorrow is Friday and the last day. I won't have a test in Philosophy or History until the 27th, which is a week from Friday. I'm not sure when the Trig test will be, the teacher hasn't said. I expected it to be Monday but she didn't say anything in class today, so if she springs a test then she's gonna have a bunch of mad students. I expect she won't though, and that the test will be Tuesday.
I started reading "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" and finished the first three chapters. It's slightly more interesting than the "Everyday Life..." book and has less information per page, but it's definitely still quite boring. Hopefully it gets more interesting.
Philosophy on the other hand is getting quite interesting. We're reading Descartes' Meditations 1 and 2 on Mind-Body dualism and arguments against his philosophy. It's all pretty interesting. I'm planning on writing about my own ideas/thoughts soon and I'll post it here. Maybe it'll actually be worthwhile for people to come read, unlike the rest of this crap.

School: Semester 1, Day 13
The History test was quite tough, however I checked my score online after classes and I came out with a 63.5/75, an 85%, which in my opinion is not too shabby for how much information is contained in that book. The best part is I'm done with tests until Monday, so I took today as kind of an easy night as far as homework goes. Going to start on the new book tomorrow. I'm tired as hell.
A haircut!
I got my head shaved today, because I was sick and tired of dealing with stupid hair. By the way the top hair has been that length for months even though the back keeps growing. Sigh...

School: Semester 1, Day 12
I almost forgot to post today. I got my Trig exam back with a 90%. I was a little disappointed at all the stupid mistakes I made, but that happens to me every time I take a math test no matter how many times I check my answers. I got a 97% on my philosophy test, on which I made more stupid mistakes. I actually knew the answers to the ones I got wrong, and I can't believe I answered them how I did. Anyhow all is good really except I have my book test tomorrow and I just can't bear to study it. I spent a little time on it today but I'm not busting my ass for this test like I did the other one because there is just way too much information to take in here. I mean this book is just like a big long list of things. This book probably contains thousands of items, none of which follow any storyline or even really a logical progression. Even chronologically the book is all skewed. I'm kind of expecting this test to be less difficult for this reason. He can't possibly expect us to know EVERYTHING. At least that's what I'm hoping.
Monday, June 16, 2008
School: Semester 1, Day 11
Good news! I got a 99.5% on my History exam. I never would have a guessed that. I actually got a 24/25 on the essay. Boy was I amazed when I checked online this morning, and then again when I received it back. Yay!
Took the Trig exam today, it was pretty easy. I know I made at least one stupid mistake - I assumed an answer and later realized it was incorrect, at least I'm pretty sure it was. I'm confident I did well on it.
I haven't received the Philosophy exam back yet (tomorrow), but he did hand back the quiz we took, on which I got a 100%. Yay again!
So far I've got nearly perfect scores in all classes. We'll see what happens as this week goes on - Will receive the Trig test back sometime this week and also take the History book test Wednesday. I'm really having trouble putting forth the effort to study for it, and I find it strange how day to day my ability to focus on school and drive myself to do the work changes dramatically. In general I'm just feeling pooped in the head and I'm really quite tired. In fact I could probably just fall asleep.

Crazy weird dream...
It started with me pulling out of the gas station up the street lighting up a cigarette and taking a drag. It felt very real, and I remember thinking, "What the fuck are you doing?" because I quit smoking in November 2007. I think then I realized it was a dream, but that feeling passed and the dream changed locations. It's very jumpy from here on. I remember being somewhere quite foreign, where the buildings were falling apart, abandoned. It was desert-like. I was with two or three other people and we were walking down the sand covered street. Some buildings were still standing and were occupied by many people partying, and myself and the people I was with were making our way through the crowd, but the place just kept continuing on. The walls were covered with textual graffiti, presumably the writings of the partyers. I was smoking a cigarette throughout this. Somehow I ended up with a very large bag of cocaine, and all of a sudden I was in my old apartment, where I lived before this, in my room and at my desk. I took a large scoop of coke out with my index finger, held it up to my nose, inhaled it and put the rest in my mouth. I then tied the bag up and remember thinking that it really was a lot of cocaine. I put it in the drawer and it's fuzzy but I believe I went to bed and seconds later I woke up (still in the dream), and it seemed like a whole night had passed. I checked the drawer and the cocaine was gone, and I was quite puzzled. That's when I actually woke up. Weird huh?

School: Semester 1, Day 10
Just got back from school, I totally nailed my Philosophy exam, it was pretty easy. Now the History exam was another story. The multiple choice was easy, but the essay kicked my ass. I just didn't have that much knowledge of the information about the three topics he gave us to choose from. But even if I get 0 on the final, which I won't, I imagine I'll get a 10/25 or so, I'll proably come away with something like an 85%, which is fine by me. I'm so relieved to be done with it I'm going to play WoW for the rest of the day.
Intense study
I just had to break myself out of this incredibly intense moment of studying. I was starting to get dizzy! Just going to take a second and relax. Deep breaths. Damn it's hot in here...
I definitely cut it too close with this one. It's late now and I'm tired and I sure don't know this as well as I'd like to. I still have clothes in the dryer. Damnit...

School: Semester 1, Day 9
In History today he crammed the last little bit of information into our heads before the test tomorrow. Everything so far is fair game: From Columbus in 1492 to the beginning of the American Revolution in 1775.
Trig sucked big ass today because we had a substitute and boy was he ever a bad teacher. He went from this super simple example to one that was really complex, and I was just like "Der, what?" And he spent way too much time on the same type of problem after that. Also, his voice was really annoying.
We took the quiz in Philosophy, and went over the answers in class. I'm 99% sure I got all of the questions right, whew! If the test is like the quiz I will be just fine. I can't tell you how relieved I was. I'm still nervous as hell but it means I can focus nearly all of my studying tonight on History, since it will likely be considerably more difficult, and I will have the hour and a half before Philosophy free to study for the test since I don't have Trig on Fridays.
I'm currently kind of re-copying my history notes into a kind of table form in order to reinforce the information. I don't know if it's working, but I'm only halfway done and there really is A LOT of information here. My brain is just saturated with information and is kind of unstable at the moment. Sigh, this is tough.
I'm going to get back to it now. Wish me luck!
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
School: Semester 1, Day 8
We're working our way up to the Revolution in American History. Almost there now. I don't know how close we'll get before the first test on Friday, but I know that we already have so much information to study for the test that it's just overwhelming really. And then next Wednesday we have another test on the book I've been reading.
The Trig test on Monday is going to be total cake.
Philosophy might be another story. There's good news and bad news. Tomorrow, Thursday, we're going to have a quiz. The quiz will cover everything we've covered so far, and so will the test on Friday. I guess it's like a pretest. Problem is it's one day before the test. At least I'll have some idea of what he's expecting.
In other paranoia, I'm apprehensive about wearing my Ween shirt to school. I don't want to attract that much attention to myself, although it will likely be good attention, like someone telling me they also like Ween. I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
School: Semester 1, Day 7
Well we are behind in Trig so the test has been pushed back until Monday, meaning my first test this semester will be 9:30 am Friday in History, sigh. It's ok, I think I'm going to do well. I spent some time looking back over my lecture notes today and I'm pretty confident already in what I know, although I still have a lot to cover before Friday.
As far as Philosophy goes I'm thinking a majority of this test is going to cover the logic section of this unit, which is the section we're covering now. The first part didn't seem to have enough concrete information to really be tested on much of it, apart from definitions of a few branches of philosophy, and the word philosophy itself.
In other news, a House of Representatives clerk is currently reading Kucinich's resolution to impeach President Bush. This poor guy is definitely not a trained speaker, and keeps stumbling over words and stopping up. Kucinich flowed right through and it took him nearly 5 hours to complete!
I'm moderately to highly lactose intolerant, and I just couldn't help but eat some ice cream tonight. Oh it was so good, but now I can already tell I'm going to be having some diarrhea later. It was worth it though.
I'm considering separating my normal posts from the school posts. I think I'll do that from now on.
School: Semester 1, Day 6
I'm already starting to hate doing homework. I'm feeling just totally exhausted in general, and I must be stressed and nervous during the day because I was clenching my jaw non-stop all day today. I'm going to have my first exam on Thursday in Trig, followed by 2 exams Friday in History and Philosophy. I'm just scared I won't be prepared enough, but I can't seem to drive myself to spend all night everyday studying. I probably shouldn't be studying that much, and I'm not, but I'm afraid I'm not doing enough. Sigh...at least I'm sleeping pretty well. I must be so exhausted my brain just can't keep me up like it used to.
On a different note, Dennis Kucinich introduced a resolution to impeach President George W. Bush tonight in the House of Representatives. I saw bits and pieces on C-SPAN as it happened, but here's about the first 5 minutes...
I'm realizing now that he started talking at about 7:13 eastern time and continued until 11 pm eastern. That's a hell of a long time to speak without stopping. By the way did you notice all the asshole congressmen bail out as soon as he started talking?

The first return
Well it's back to school tomorrow, and I think I'm ready. I can't wait to get this semester overwith and start next semester. I signed up for classes today and I'm taking Intro to psychology, intro to cultural anthropology, calculus 1 and art appreciation. I want to get all those prereqs. out of the way so I can transfer to a university and get down to the nitty gritty. It's late now, but I forgot I had clothes in the dryer and I have to finish them tonight, plus my hair is still wet. If I go to bed like this I'll wake up looking like someone hit the back of my head with a frying pan.
I just did a little research on that Autoball thing, but it doesn't appear to have a website, or maybe it isn't really called Autoball. But that guy who won, Stefan Raab is a German entertainer of some kind, so it seems to me like it might not be a permanent sport. It appears he also invented wok racing...
More to come on this...

Autoball: I can't belive this is real
I don't have time to research this now, but I'm going to, because this is way fucking cool. Watch this.
Why do I do this?
I'm just thinking that nobody fucking reads this. Not one person. Any visits I get are because someone searches for "Julia Nunes." Actually, the top search result is "International Feel Sorry for Yourself Day" then Julia and then, and this is my favorite, "how to relax and poop." I mean that's just awesome! I'm the 3rd result listed if you search for that on google. According to google analytics I've had 28 unique visitors to the blog since I started it April 17th. So why do I do it? I don't really expect people to read this, but I kind of wish people would. If I started making youtube videos I'd definitely get more blog hits since it's listed on my channel page. Anyway I dunno, maybe I just need to get stuff out, so I do it here.
I think I'm going to get my head shaved again.
Long weekend
Well this has already felt like a long weekend for some reason. It feels like it should be going back to school tomorrow, but luckily I'm not. I've been pretty lax about doing my homework so far, although I did get some done, and I really need to get a lot done tomorrow to make sure I'm keeping up the pace. Sigh...this damn book is just so fucking boring to me. I hate history.
In other news two of my old friends are in town and I got to hang out with them tonight, and I had a really good time. Despite this fact, I still feel like I am just really unable to connect with people anymore. Even with these guys, who are good old friends, I'm just feel like I'm not making a good connection like I used to. What's strange is that they don't seem any different in that respect, and they don't act like I'm any different in that respect either, so why do I feel that way? I also noticed how hard it is to keep myself from letting the depressed attitude come out strong and to keep from dwelling on negative things. Even though I feel like I badly need to I can't just go dumping all this crap on these guys. How depressing would that be?
My dad posted photos from my most recent trip to Cali. You can find them here at his flickr site.

Phil is gone...
sXephil appears to have ended his long running Phillip de Franco Show on youtube. I'm not certain he's totally serious, or that he doesn't have something up his sleeve (hint from his website), but I will definitely miss him if he really goes. He is currently the 11th most subscribed channel on youtube with over 135,199 subscribers. (Note: When I checked maybe 4 hours ago he had around 134,000 meaning he has gained around 1000 subscribers in that time.)
Bye Phil. Take care and good luck!

School: Semester 1, Day 5
Well I made it through the first week, albeit with my brain only partially intact. I'm taking the night off from schoolwork, and am going to pick it up again tomorrow for a while and also on sunday.
My History teacher, who has been cramming so much lecture into each class period, let us go over 15 minutes early today, leaving me 2 hours until Philosophy, since I don't have Trig on fridays. During that time I got my 2 chapters reading done, which was sweet.
In Philosophy we started on Logic today, and spent all day on the deductive branch. I already know all about it from the Formal Logic class I took back in 2001-02, so I'm set for this section, at least what I can remember. Besides that I'm still unsure what we're actually gonna be tested on next friday. Suspense!
Happy Birthday!
I found this a few minutes ago and just had to share it. Even though no one reads this. It comes from youtube user waverlyflams.
By the way nothing happened.
Yay for tornadoes!
I just got home from school and every county in a line southwest of here currently has a tornado warning, and the storms are moving northeast. I'm sure we will shortly have a tornado warning as well. Exciting. I'm taking my schoolbooks, digital camera and camcorder and all my personal effects downstairs if something happens.

School: Semester 1, Day 4
Today I am feeling totally fried in the head from knowledge being constantly pounded into it. Luckily I was well caught up today before school and it turned out to be light homework-wise so I spent most of the night playing WoW. It was kind of draining itself though so I'm really tired now. I'm gonna take a shower and hit the bed.

School: Semester 1, Day 3
I noticed today that there is one gorgeous girl in each of my classes. There are quite a few hot girls in each, but only one that is really gorgeous. Now that I think of it there is only one ugly girl in each as well. There's a few mediocre ones as well of course. Sigh...I'm lonely.
I'm reading and taking notes on 2 chapters per day in Everyday Life in Early America. I have 9 chapters left, and I'm sure every one of them will be as excruciating as the last. Just kidding, it's not really that bad. But if I don't give myself a concrete plan on homework when it's a big assignment like this one I won't get it done. I also solved my issues with distraction by not doing my homework at the desk where my computer is, and instead turning myself around and putting my feet on the bed and my books on my lap. The different perspective solved the problem.
As far as Trig goes I actually hit kind of a wall today. I just couldn't for the life of me figure out this problem, so I'm going to have to ask about it tomorrow.
I'm still concerned about Philosophy as far as what we're going to be tested on and what the teacher expects of us. On ratemyteachers.com people said his tests were hard, but I'm really not sure how difficult they could possibly be because in class he really gives minimal hard information besides what's on the handout.
I shaved!
That picture is my new icon on flickr.
I'm planning to rework the banner when I get some time. I already have the idea so now it's just getting it done.
FUCK! I forgot what the new banner text was gonna be.
Wow...boring...
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
School: Semester 1, Day 2
My schedule each day goes like this: American History, Trigonometry, Intro to Philosophy. It's like: Concrete, concrete, abstract. Philosophy is the perfect way to end the day, it allows my brain to run off and go in new directions never previously explored.
Today was good. I'm getting into the school groove now, and have figured out that I can occupy the 15 minutes between classes with reading the book required for my history class. If I read 2 chapters per day I'll be done in 1 week and will have nearly one week leftover before the test. I'm also taking what might be excessive notes on the book in order to hopefully get a better score on the test when it comes.
Trig is easy so far. I'm having no problems understanding as of yet, which is great. This class is essentially a non-issue.
Philosophy is pretty awesome so far. I'm not entirely clear what is expected yet though, and am afraid I might not be studying enough or the right things. I guess time will tell.

New word: Obstreperous
Ok so today's new word comes courtesy of my new school book Everyday Life in Early America, and it's Obstreperous. I saw that and immediately said out loud, "What the fuck is that?"
adj.
1. Noisily and stubbornly defiant.
2. Aggressively boisterous.
Definition courtesy of thefreedictionary.com
After I read the first chapter of this book I calmed down and realized it wasn't so bad. I should be able to read it in time without a problem, the test is another story, but we'll see how it goes.
Distraction
I'm finding myself so easily distracted when trying to study. My mind wanders off and I daydream for minutes at a time until I realize what is happening and have to go back and reread whole pages because I actually absorbed none of it. Or I go to look up a word on the internet and I can't help but click the youtube button on my bookmarks toolbar and get lost in videos for 30 minutes. Sigh...
I already hate school.
Now I remember why I never wanted to continue in school in the first place. My bullshit american history teacher has provided us with no textbook. Instead he is doing everything by lecture and we will be tested on that, which is fine, except we are also going to be tested on the full text of 2 books, which are historical in nature but are certainly not textbooks. This is only a 6 week course and I have to study not only all of his lecture notes, but also the entirety of both these "novels" which is over 450 pages. Fuck that dude. It's only 6 weeks. If I wanted to speed read full books I would have taken an english class.
The books are:
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
Everyday Life in Early American by David Freeman Hawke
He also continually mentions that we should go to answers.com for any mor detailed history questions we might have, including word definitions. I have nothing wrong with using the internet for research, and I'm sure all the questions could be answered there, however as a teacher I can't believe he wouldn't give us all the same concrete resource, like a fucking textbook, like a fucking normal class.
My other classes are gonna be ok. Trig is good, and will be easy. I know a lot of it already, or just need refreshing. Philosophy looks to be a pretty laid back course, so I think it should be no problem. Plus it's interesting. I fucking hate history.

Back!
I'm back from KC and I had a good time there. We visited the World War I memorial there, and it was pretty interesting. Lots of cool weapons, and a neat little section with first aid stuff.
I'm starting school tomorrow and I'm nervous as hell. I'm also feeling pretty exhausted, so I'm gonna head to bed.
