Damn, well, you learn something new everyday.

Y'know, upon reading the guestbook entry that started the whole blog wars thing, I hafta admit, that was really rather rude entry, IMO. It had some useful suggestions for the page, but it was couched in pretty hostile language. Honey, at least admit it when you're rude, and either apologize, or take pride in it. Don't do this wishy-washy " It was nice for ME" crap. It wasn't necessary to say " This is definetely [sic] not a place I would like to come back to, or even link if I had a site anymore." That's probably the part she took offense to. And one can critique without ass-kissing OR gratutious insults. There's a happy medium, which I'll be first to admit I can't even always strike myself.

See, that was ME being rude. And I'm choosing door B. *bow*

With a guestbook entry like that, now I'm not surprised that Saavik reacted angrily. Of course, some of the stuff she said AFTERWARDS wasn't necessarily called for. In the end, I don't know who was being more silly. This is the internet; we can easily ignore that which we don't like. Saavik doesn't have to take Hera's advice, and Hera doesn't have to visit a page she doesn't like. Easy. Finished. And although it's instinctive to try to argue with someone ( and I realize this is hypocritical coming from me; I actually posted my own suggestions for saavik's page instead of just ignoring the whole deal. Oh well. You know about what the preacher says and what the preacher does? ;^_^)

Bah, I don't know what I'm saying anymore. I guess it boils down to: Saavik, now that I've seen the beginning of this, I can't really blame you for getting somewhat offended. And that's meant in all sincerity. If your feelings were hurt, I apologize. But still, remember, if someone gets on your nerves, count to ten and ignore them, or, if you're strong of heart and not likely to get your feelings hurt, wade into the flamewar with fists flying. XD That's a little advice for dealing with the assholes of the world, ne? :D

And Hera...well, nevermind. I think your comments on webdesign were justified, but not phrased well. And you overreacted too. Almost everyone involved overreacted. We all need to take a step back, go outside, and eat some daisies. Wait, that's just those of us who are actual cows. ( Ka-chan! Go eat some daisies, h0 XD ) The rest of us can just play some videogames or something. n_n

Damn, I hope this came out the way I meant it to. I am hella lousy at articulating these things. It's meant to be conciliatory! Sort of! Yeah!

Radiation Heat Transfer Review - build familiarity of nomenclatures related to emission, irradiation, absorption, and radiosity.

Uh, I had no idea what to title this entry, so I just copied a sentence off of the closest paper lying on this table. Someone forgot their review sheet. ;^_^

My professor immediately signed my drop request, so now my shrink needs to get back to me, and I need to fill out my sheet. Hopefully things will work back. But he claims that I might be able to get a B anyways, but -

Ara, Ka-chan, your poll swings that way? O_o Dizamn! XD ( re: Ragabash's comments about swinging the results one way or another )

Matt, you're absolutely right about the difference between what someone means and how the recipient takes it. And if anyone's feelings were unintentionally hurt in this whole silly blogwar, that *does* suck, and I regret it. But, of course, there's also the element that you can choose how to openly react to something. It was Saavik's reaction more than anything else that started all this. But I hope this will die down soon. :D And yeah, it shouldn't progress to the kind of ugliness you're talking about.

Sleeping straight through a 90 minute Psych class in class is BAD, right? :D

OK, I have now listened to techno remixes of the Beatles, and been thoroughly traumatized. Time to go home and earn $50 for beta-testing :D

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

Quick blog. :D D.com has gotten over 1000 hits since 9 pm last night. Damn, Emi, the IGN rec really helped. Thanks! :D

And Ka-chan - I don't know why that person thought I listened to Korn and Limp Bizkit. I suspect that they were confusing me and Krisit, ( why haven't I disowned you for listening to them? Bad krisit! XD ) and anyways, whatever, you know? If they want to flame me for my archived, non-accusatory post, bring it on. XD

It's just a shot away

Oh my, I offended someone. Hee, I'm impressed! I'm fully aware that Sevenet's supposed to be legible at 7 or 8 point - I just set it at 28 point because I was amused at how it looked on a grid background. My designs may suck, but at least they're legible. ^_^ Usually. o.o Of course, saying 'your designs suck' with no actual examples is hardly mature or constructive criticism, but I'll take it in the spirit it was intended. :D What sucks about them? Tell me something concrete, at least, so I know and may change them as I see fit. :P

I swear, this entire argument's silly. I've had my last say, since I'm not personally involved. ^_^

Mara, you're a worthy opponent, and I will crush your soul at ACen. XD

Whoa, Gokuu's feeling a bit sore, eh? Uh oh. ;^_^ Hakkai-mama, do something! Someone will have to translate that part for me. ;^_^

And after 013.htm comes 014.htm! Keep going! XD

The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley...

Well, it WAS a good week. Remember my 'class-dropping' saga? It's taken a turn for the worse. I wanted to drop that course late, right? I asked the professor, and he was like, sure, OK, no problem. So I go to the chemistry school's office. And they say, you gotta fill out a three-page petition from LAS, and the turnaround is two weeks. And you gotta provide a REASON why you wanna drop, and low grades aren't an excuse. I'm guessing I'll hafta pull out the psychiatrist appt. slips from this semester and claim I was too depressed to do well. But shit, I didn't want to have to do that. I HATE blaming the shit I do on depression. I really do. I've emailed the professor and explained the situation. I'll talk to him tomorrow. And I called the Pavilion to get documentation that I've been seeing a shrink. I left my message with the secretary; she better pass it on to my shrink PRONTO. Hopefully my shrink will be on the ball and write me a note quickly.

RAGRHGHRAR!!!!!!

Now I know I'll be worrying about this for the next two or three weeks. Fuckity.

I can't think about anything good to blog about anymore. SHIT.
Wow, my professor emailed me back already. He said I'm getting a C so far, but if I REALLY kick ass on the next exam, I could get a B- or a B, and to try not to drop the class. But he's willing to help me drop the class anways.

Whew, I feel much better. I'll TRY to drop the class, but I'll see what happens.

*phew* Crisis averted, minna. ;^_^ I hope.

Hee. I have too much fun with this.

I've changed my layout again. ;^_^ This time it's the genki twins, Alen and Alec, from Shinesman. Otherwise known as Alen Koyasu and Morikawa Takayuki. I might actually keep this layout; I actually sorta like it.

Like the Sevenet, Juri? XD I was hunting for a font to use, and then I realized that with the grid BG, Sevenet actually looked kinda interesting.

So far, this has been a good week! Of course, it's just Monday, but ^^

I just realized that a lot of stuff comes across differently than I intend, depending on whether it's typed or said. Rereading my blog, you'd get the impression that I regularly hole myself up in my room, close the curtains, light some incense, turn up the Depeche Mode, and wallow in self-loathing. I don't, really! :D I only do that on alternate Wednesdays!

No, seriously, IRL I'm not super-whiny depression-queen. I hope. ;^^

I need to go home and veg around. Looks like my DDR pad DOES work, but I'm gonna get some new ones anyways. w00t! :D

Nice new redesigns, juri, gregly. :D And yeah, Juri, Tama, I KNOW my layouts are huge. Bad me; my screen's always set at the 1240-whatever resolution. ;;^_^ " YOU STUPID WHORES!! CAN'T YOU APPRECIATE MY PERFECT DESIGNS?? I'M GOING TO CRY!! ;_; " *evil giggle* Just poke me if I forget to resize them, OK? :D
