Eärn, I didn't say too seriously, I said so seriously. This ain't the misquoting thread. ...and now I've got a feeling I've started hell here...

Well, it was genuine confusion on my part, not me trying to start any hell or misquoting. But whatevs.
![]() Tea and pancakes, anyone? (I've just had some yummy fresh pancakes for the first time in years. Mmmmm.)

Wow. I was walking down the street today, and I suddenly realized that I was high on life. I thought I was far too cynical for any of that nonsense. O.o

Gwai, you're not high you just THINK you're high on life.

So, I got back a short paper from my favourite prof today, and he said it was the best essay on the subject (nonbeing in Pseudo-Dionysius) he had ever read. This is not improving the "high on life" situation. >.>

So... it may be because I'm still up at three o'clock in the morning, but does anyone else think that Aragorn singing at his coronation in "Return of the King" is exceptionally moving?
I really can't get over it.

Never really listened to the soundtrack before, though I do have the first CD somewhere.
Thanks for linking. I feel like watching again now.

Wouldn't that be fun if all of us Mooters could have a giant movie watching party together?

That's awesome, Gwai.
![]() As for me, after some careful consideration I have decided that heck with that and I'm going to take as $%)#ing long as I need to graduate. I am dropping statistics, and from here on will not be taking more than 12 hours a semester. In the mean time, it looks like my hours at the church will bump up to 20 (not including the 6 hours of paid singing), and I'm still trying to get more voice students. I may be 23 and still in school, but it's not like I'm doing nothing with my life. I'm studying music and business, I'm teaching, I'm performing, I'm about to start being a pianist for the children's choir, and I have a steady part-time job. What more could I want right now? Also, I'm going to build a computer. What precious little time I have that I could enjoy playing video games in is usually wasted trying to figure out why our current dinosaur refuses to do anything. Plus I wanna be a badass and build a computer. ![]() I feel so much better about myself than I have in ages. ![]() |

Glad you figured out which way to go. By the sound of it you already do much more while in school than most people out of it but with jobs, so I wouldn't worry about that.
![]() I too am interested how you will handle that. I've often wondered whether I could do something with the carcasses of our dinosaurs, but other than enlarging their RAM I haven't got a clue how I should do about the rest.

Haha. Don't worry, Tess. My husband is 23 and still in school, and once he graduates, he's probably going back for more (*SIGH*)... I, on the other hand, hate school and wish to drop out as soon as I can get away with it, which hopefully is soon! I've got this new graphic design job that is looking pretty good - it may be my ticket away from the classroom (PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...)
Do you know what kind of computer you're wanting to build? And also did you know that it is generally the cheapest way to GET a computer - to buy the parts and put them together yourself?

![]() My research has showed me that I'm looking at wanting a quad core, 3.0+ghz processor, but as for the rest I'm pretty lost at sea. ![]() I e-mailed what I know I want, and the things I'm not savvy enough to know about, to a friend of mine and he's going to help me figure out the parts I'll need. ![]() I learned enough to know that I only want/need a quad-core CPU. Turns out all of those fancy 6 and 8 core drives that my gamer friends are insisting on are actually way too much power for just playing video games. That kind of power is really only needed for video/photo editing. The 3.0ghz drive is just to make sure I have enough ghz moving forward for a few years of video games. Quote:

![]() 2 GB for ROM memory? That isn't much indeed. The dinosaur in question at least had 5.

... then it will be done.
![]() I skipped the last two hours of class on Monday, but it was well worth it: I met an old friend on the way home whom I hadn't seen for ages. Turns out he even lives nearby. Yay! ![]()
