Nothing to muse on. Deal with it. Although I have to give Cyanide and Happiness a bit of blog space. It's SO. FRICKIN'. HILARIOUS. I was going to be the Purple-Shirted Eye Stabber for Halloween (I actually have a purple shirt) but then realized that only me and another student would understand it.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a LITTLE late with the whole update thing. My life's been SOOOO busy, I couldn't even find time to get on a....
Ah, who am I kidding? My computer "suddenly" (AKA with the help of my older sister who was home from uni) got Trojan horses and spyware EVERYWHERE. It was down until yesterday, when my tech support managed to fix it. w00t for L337 d4dz.
Most of my stuff was saved, though, so yay!
Anyway. On with the good stuff.
I've decided to start another blog-this one specifically for updates on my armies and their progress. Haven't actually got it up yet (still in the plotting phase) but I'm definitely having fun thinking about all the stuff I can put up there. ^-^
Has anyone ever heard of role-playing (RPing)? I'm just wondering. It's like...a roleplay. Online. Durr. But seriously, it's my current love. It's like storytelling with multiple people. It's always interesting. Anyway, I'd best be tearing myself away from the computer....Time for my spare class. w00t.
PWN!
Update 5:07 PM
This suxx0rz, m4551v3n355. I broke my MP3 player somehow. T-T WHY ME?! I also have l04dz of h0m3w0rk. =(

Apathy & Hikikomori
What I'm Reading: Lisa, Bright and Dark by John Neufeld. © 1969 by S.G. Phillips, Inc. Page 129/143
Reflections: An immensely interesting book about insanity.
Music I'm Listening To: Lonely Day--System of a Down
Musings: A good song for those days you're ignored or lonely. I listen to it a lot lately :P
There are those days when you wish you'd just disappear. There are those days in which you wish the world would disappear. There are those days where everything's sunshine and rainbows, when all is well with the world.
Then there are those days where you just can't seem to care.
Apathy (n.)-Apathy is a psychological term for a state of indifference -- where an individual is unresponsive or "indifferent" to aspects of emotional, social, or physical life. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apathy)
Apathy seems to be rife these days, running rampant throughout society and its many-aged occupants. Teenagers, especially, are affected by this. There comes a point in life where you just quit caring, period. When you're like, "You know what? I don't care. I don't care that I failed math. I don't care that I won't graduate. I don't care that my parents don't trust me, that my friends hate me, that I won't ever get a job. I just don't care anymore." THAT leads to some serious problems.
I think that apathy is caused by "fight, flight, or freeze" mode that occurs in the brain. (also, sometimes, called procrastination...but that's for later =p) For example, there's a test on Friday. Today is Monday. You are unsure of where to start, whether or not you're ready for the exam, ect....You latch onto the first course of action you think of -you'll study later. Thus, the "freeze". Trying to do everything sometimes ends up as doing nothing at all. Fearing to fail can result in self-sabatoge; by thinking that you'll fail anyway, you try (subconsciously, even) less and therefore fail, fulfilling your earlier thoughts of failure.
That's also known as the self-fulfilling prophecy.
I'm in a bit of a fix right now. I've hit that teenager stage of not caring about anything anymore. I could probably become a hikikomori and be satisfied. It's not like I don't have enough conspiracy theories, or...actually, I think I'll just leave it at that for now. Tomorrow, I shall report on my army. ^-^

Wow, Halloween was interesting....
Current love: http://www.onemanga.com/ -->Ouran High School Host Club
What I'm thinking: Too bad we don't have any romantically-inclined boys around here -_-;
Anyway. I was a pirate for Halloween. It was AWESOME. I ran around yelling "Yarr!" and stealing people's candy, and I didn't sound crazy! Unless, of course, it's Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19th, for those unlearned paupers).
Being sick sucks. Not that having the room spin 'round and 'round while I'm laying in my bed isn't interesting, it just doesn't seem to help the state of my stomach whatsoever. Therefore, I have abolished all germs from entering my room. Consequences will be harsh and lethal. I WILL get out the disinfectant wipes, if need be. Don't make me use these weapons of tiny destruction.
*shakes fist*
On a more cheerful note....
....
Actually, I don't really have a cheerful note right now. ^^; I missed my Wednesday update (obviously) and will make up for it when-and if-I feel like it. If not, then meh. Too bad for all of my "loyal readers". Ha-ha-ha.
Any sarcasm in the message above can and probably will be ignored because it's impossible to tell when people are being sarcastic when they are typing. I could use *sarcasm* but I'm too lazy right now. Deal with it.
