I actually kind of like it. It's pretty simple, but not too simple. The character reminds me a bit of the Humongous Entertainmant graphics :P

- Feeling negative toward a friend right now, as I just spent a couple hours picking up his friends from around the city, and all I get for it is beration for asking for directions, then ignored once they all got together.

+ It put me in a bit of a distant, mellow mood, perfect for writing dignified music.

+ On that note, I'm going to take up Classical/Spanish guitar lessons. The nylon sound is so beautiful, and even though I've managed to help myself quite well, I always enjoy having a teacher or a professional I can go to that can keep me on the right track.

+ I'm feeling ok, despite the ongoing illness

+ Vacation is really pleasant, loving the nice break from all the stress and all the feelings that I was having.

+/- I stumbled across someone on Tumblr who for the first time is really someone that I could compare to myself. As in, someone who actually has a similar way of thinking/interests/opinions etc. I can get along with very different people fine, and that's always been the case, but it feels extremely refreshing to see someone who's more similar. I often tend to have problems like with my real life friend, whom is great and we get along, but out interests don't match. And then there are other people I know who don't share my sense of humour, and admittedly that does bug me. Sadly though I haven't really been able to spawn too much conversation, we need a something we can express that means "I want to get to know you and I'm not being a stalker/creep"

- USD now equals 1.15 CAD, that's going to be a bother. It's half way to being the Euro.
+ I stopped by a thrift store and picked up A VCR and a really cool long-sleeved collared shirt for eight dollars.
+ I slept at 23:00 and woke up at 5:00, very refreshing.
+ Playing music is so wonderful, it's all I really want to do right now.

- Unfortunately, I still haven't graduated high school, I'm almost a year late now, and I'm not even very close. Enforced school under all circumstances is such a horrible waste of time, there's no official alternative to even measure one's competence with anything, even things that school doesn't even touch on. I really don't want to finish, but I've been scared into thinking it's the most important thing on the planet by people who had no problem with it or what it represents. It really, really sickens me how many people - basically everyone I've ever talked to - just ignore the morality of the situation. It really goes to show how much people value money over what should be making you happy. I despise the schooling system, and I despise the people who are so manipulated by it that they go as far as to instill blood-curdling fear into you, and not only fear of failure, but fear of virtually disowning you with literal physical repercussions. There's giving simple, harmless advice, but then there's being a detestable human being. This is a passionate hatred of mine, and taking even the smallest step back really shows what a bunch of nonsense the high-schooling system is. They worry about me, someone who has spent so much more time working toward what I'm good at, and that's why they give the fear? No, I worry about them, who live in such a small, small world. Actually, to better re-phrase that, I worry about the generation learning from these closed-minded, abusive knobs.

I think the schooling system is terrible, too. I could ask any person in my school what they want to do with their life and they'll reply with "Dentist" or "Lawyer". But once you ask them what they "wish they could do" they come with things like sports player, musician, actor, things like that. Kids from early ages are already being told that what they want to do is "unrealistic" and they shouldn't even bother to try and work towards it. And they won't change their mind, their going to attend a college for it, get the job, and then one day wonder why they still feel unhappy. It's entirely designed to keep people from ever stepping out from the usual system, and I hate seeing it happen. I don't want to forever live a life where I still dread monday and push myself towards friday, where I'm stuck with tons of responsibilities, issues, stress, and only to live an exact copy of the life of my parents and teach my children to copy my life. I really, really don't want to see me in 20 years living in a suburb neighborhood attending the office five times a week and celebrating my fixed holidays.

Thank you. I genuinely love seeing people speak up against this major issue in our society.

-Literally have no money in my bank account right now. I had to spend the last of it on lunch these past two weeks, and while I e-mailed the college regarding why I was absent a lot the last two months and why I couldn't obtain a Doctor's Cert, they still haven't given me any word back. If I don't get my grant, I can't attend the last few weeks of college, as I won't be able to pay for the over-priced bus tickets to college. Lovely how this country seems to do it's best to cheat people out of both an education and money (especially since this college course has done nothing but limit me, except for the first month or two, which are actually pretty good. Since then, I've mostly been typing up pointless Microsoft Word documents all of the time).

- x 9,000 Just got forced into having a haircut when I was planning on growing it even more.
- Two people, one of them my friends, got into a fight at the bus stop not long after the people at that stop were dropped off. Bus driver called the cops and when we came back my friend had been limping.
+ Just one more day, sweet jeebus.

+FINALLY bought the EP of Device and have been listening to it in my CD player nonstop ; David Draiman, as usual, you are THE MAN!

-STILL haven't gotten to work on my fan comic, old fanfictions, or new fanfictions. Hopefully Spring Break will give me some peace of mind to do so.

-Future soldier training should have been a breeze for me... had I not absolutely butchered my mile run. SOMEHOW I ran out of energy barely an eight of the way in; I'm usually better than that!! Should work out more and redeem myself.

+ Seeing Skillet this weekend after drills! Now if only the Rockfest lineup didn't suck...

+Writing a song
When I was a little younger
My teacher asked me
What will you do with your life
When you’re older?
And when I was a little younger
I wanted to be, a pilot, and hover above
The ancient skies and fly away.
But to-day…

Today I’m a little older, a little wiser
A little taller
But now I am afraid of what I’ll do…
As years go by
I don’t want to be a pilot,
That was just a dream I had back then.
When I, still dreamt
to fly
+ Finally had the courage to ask my crush out on a date :)
- I don't want to go to work :/
+ No school tomorrow, going to a university to get information about Industrial Design

Hehe, Product Design, I've a weird circumstance that led to me doing that back in Year 11, though considering its a prospect of practicality, I didn't fare so well.

+ Montpellier's stream! It's at 5:30 Paris time, don't forget!

+ If I cross the finish line of the shit river, then my parents have promised me an SNES Model 2, which provides an incentive for me not to procrastinate here.
- Bleah. :?

- My brother is a terrible person

- He's pissed over something so most likely I'll wake up to him spitting out bullshit about me to our mum and then her getting angry at me

- I'm lonely but too tired of being lonely to still continue to work towards not being anymore. I'm done with the fucking bullshit about social interaction, I'm not an extrovert and no matter how hard a counselor or my parents or anyone may want to push it it remains a fact that I'm just not social nor am I really going to very quickly find someone who I would actually want to talk to. I don't care for the people in my classes, I don't want to be friends with them, but then you try to join things that'll contain people with similar interests and you enter your music groups and everyone goes "I like metal" and before you know it everyone's having fantastic fucking conversation without you because once more I'm reminded that I just don't fit in, and I don't give a shit for fitting in anymore. The only problem that remains, however, is that at when I decide that I'm also ensuring myself that three years from now my life still consists of refreshing tumblr five hours a day and then going to bed feeling like shit. I just, I don't know, I can't manage talking and when I do I never talk to anyone I want to, it fucking sucks.

+/- Aha, I really wanna meet this one person I've come across, but conversation is hard when from both sides you're not the greatest at spawning conversation or keeping it up.

- School tomorrow, not feeling it.

+ Today was pretty nice, one of the most relaxing and careless days I've had in a good long while. I wish more days were like today.
