it's been 1 week.

Not 1 week since my last post, but 1 week since school started back up for me. It took so little time to get back into the swing of things, it feels like I've been back for months.  So far, TKD is going on without a hitch.  We lost 1 instructor though.  He decided it wasn't fun any more, so he quit.  This guy is also one of my roommates.  I don't really care that much, so I don't there will be any drama between us.  As for the other instructor, I'm not so sure.  I could be wrong, but I get the impression that she's a little bitter about it.

What else is new? Not much, really.  I got another job.  I'm now a DJ for this local radio station.  It's a little crazy right now.  I've already made a number of mistakes.  Most of them had to do with me not completely understanding how the equipment works yet.  Oh well. I'll get it eventually. I've only had 2 shifts so far.

Anyway, hopefully everyone's enjoying the new semester!

Compliments

I'm not sure why I thought of this, but I thought it'd be a fun post to make.

I want to hear from you guys:
A. What are some compliments that you often hear from people?
B. What's the nicest compliment that you've ever been given that you can remember?
C. What are some strange compliments that you've been given?

Here are my answers to my own questions:
A. You give amazing hugs, you have nice hair, you're smart, you're really flexible (only my non-tkd friends tell me this lol. different standards). This isn't a verbal compliment, but my friends frequently confide their problems to me.  I consider it a compliment that they trust me that much.
B. I wish I was a strong as you (some context: she was referring to my coming out in high school)
C. You have a very masculine walk (what made this an even stranger compliment, is that it was given to me by a guy who had admitted to stalking me before he actually met me), you breathe very properly (this compliment came out of the blue from a friend who was sitting on me while watching a movie), you have good posture (same friend....)

Anyway, I'm done talking about myself. I want to hear from you!

Drawing disturbing parallels

Like I said in an earlier post, I got the Sims 3 for Christmas, and I've been playing it a lot lately.  A series of events happened, and it made me have to sit and think about what I had just done.
Here's what happened, and see if you can draw any parallels to real life from it.

I created a couple with a child.  As the child got older, the kids at his school started hating him and picking on him, causing him to be unhappy a lot of the time.   Eventually, it became clear that there was something seriously wrong with this child. He was glitched. He wouldn't/couldn't do the things I wanted him to (and often froze my game).  Nothing I tried was able to fix him.  Eventually, I gave up and had one of his parents kick him out of the house.

I know this is just a video game, but does anyone besides me find this a little messed up?  (if anyone's confused about what actually happened in this game, I'll be happy to explain in the comments)

Happy National Whipped Cream Day!

Like the title suggests, the U.S. is apparently celebrating National Whipped Cream Day.  May all your dreams involving whipped cream come true today.....  Does anyone else feel proud to be an American? I know I do.  I'm not gonna lie, I think it's a little ridiculous to make a holiday for a dessert topping.  Then again, we have all kinds of crazy holidays. Plus, it gives me a good excuse to listen to this song all day lol

Dawn of the New Decade

It's been awhile, hasn't it? Last time I posted was before Christmas.

I hope everyone's holidays turned out well.  Did everyone get what they wanted for Christmas? I know I did.  I got a space heater and a dehumidifier for my house at school.  You have no idea how badly I needed those.  The half of my house that I live in doesn't get any heat.  I don't really need the dehumidifier for this time of year, but I know I'm going to need it this summer.

I want to take the time to congratulate Masculine Gay Guy.  For those of you who don't read his blog, he came out to his parents a while ago. If you're reading this, I'm very proud of you man!

I hope everyone had a wonderful new years as well. Me? well, my plans fell through at the last minute, so I spent New Years by myself at home.  Oh well. I spent it catching up on some long overdue video game time.  I got the  Sims 3 for Wii for Christmas, and I've been pretty addicted to it since. Haven't figured out how to adopt kids yet.  I don't know if it's even possible in this game or not. I've looked around online, and lots of people seem to have the same problem and no one knows the answer.

Anyway, sorry for such a short post after a long absence.  I'll post again when I have something more significant to report

What's everyone's New Year's Resolution? Comment below!
