So, just got back from taking the comp to the shop of the ppl we bought it from. Cos ever since we got it, it's been freezing, once in a while. And, I've got windows XP, and the same software setup as my previous comp, and that one didn't freeze once in 10 months. So the new one shouldn't have been either. The guy did a couple things, moved a pci card that was right next to the video card, and swapped 2 RAM cards from different companies for one single one. So, time will tell.

I really can't stand people who refuse to accept reality. Who, when presented with reality, say, that's not true. It's one thing to want to CHANGE reality. To say, alright, this is how things are, and this is how I want them to/think they should be. That's fine, in fact quite good. But to just deny reality alltogether. That's ridiculous.
This was prompted by a �friend? of mine, who, has this interesting idea that if everyone walked around naked all the time, it would lead to more emotional openness and ppl getting along. But he isn't realistic about it. He refuses to accept the fact that human beings need protection from the elements. He won't accept that there are reason for wearing clothes other then to hide oneself. That, the MAIN reasons for wearing clothes have very little to do with hiding oneself, and everything to do with keeping warm, and in many cases, expressing oneself.
Also, as I've mentioned before, it really annoys me when ppl can't realize that just because they think something is right, and it may even be right for them, that most certainly doesn't mean it is right for everyone. And people who think that they know what I mean when I say something or express an idea better then I know what I mean. This was also prompted by that same person.

Have you ever had a dream where you were falling? And you woke up before you hit bottom? Only, as you woke up, you felt yourself hit the bed? Hit the bed hard, and bounce. I have. A number of times. But I've also had dreams where I was falling, and I did hit bottom. Never splatted tho.

God those people disgust me. How DARE they try and force their opinions and choices on anyone else? If they think abortion is wrong, fine. That's their opinion, and they are free to live their lives by that opinion. But how dare they attempt to take away anyone else's right to have their own opinion, make their own choice! Hypocrits.
When it's THEIR opinions and choices and morals being forced onto other people, then that's just peachy to them, but if anyone else did the same thing, forced them to live by someone else's choices, they'd have 12 kinds of fit! I really can't stand that about people. It seems to be a human pasttime, forcing other people to live by your choices. Why can't people just make their own choices, for themselves, and let everyone else do the same? If you think something is wrong, fine, you don't do it. But don't try and tell me I can't do it, just because you think it's wrong. Let me decide for myself if it's right or wrong for me.

So, Kate and I went to Wheaton Plaza (Ok, westfield whatever, but it'll always be wheaton plaza to me). Kate needed shoes for her homecoming dance on friday. And, I told her about what Nick and I did during thanksgiving break. Well, I didn't tell details, but said enough she knows pretty much what happened. It was fun actually.
She and I were walking out of the metro station, to the mall, and I asked if she still liked Nick. Blah, blah, blah (on both our parts), and she says he's just fun to tease and flirt with when he's around. And I said, "He's fun to hook up with too." *Extremely Evil Grin* hehehe. She stopped dead in her tracks, in the middle of the hallway/tunnel thing, and was like, "tell me you are kidding." and I had kept walking, and by this time was 20 feet away, walking backwards, and said, "nope, I'm serious."
So, that was amusing, and she doesn't seem upset. Let's just hope Jen reacts as well. :(

You know, people really suck. In general I mean. I am well aware that there are some great individuals out there. But human beings, as a species, just totally suck.

We kill each other for the stupidest reasons. Not that there are really much of any good reasons to kill, except maybe to protect your life or the lives of your loved ones. But we humans, man, we kill each other over the dumbest shit. We kill each other just cos we don't like each other's ideas. We're supposed to be top of the food chain, so intelligent and all, yet we kill each other over things that boil down to which end of the egg we eat from. I mean, just turn on the news, and 99% of the wars being fought, are over issues that I can't understand how the ppl involved can't just go, "Hey, I disagree with you, but everybody's got a right to live their lives." And yes, I know, in most wars, 1 side would be perfectly happy to say that, if the other side would just quit killing them and all. That's what I don't understand. People who can't accept that other ppl don't think or believe the same thing as they do.

There are ppl starving all over the world. Dying of hunger, of diseases that there are cures for. Being killed for where they were born, or what religion they follow, or their gender, or whatever. Dying from lack of money, while other ppl have more then they could spend in a lifetime, and complain. And then you have TV and movie stars refusing to do a new season of a show if they don't get a million dollars an ep. That's RIDICULOUS. Movie stars get $20 mill a movie. Ordinary families struggle to live on $30 thou a year. Honestly, I just don't understand this world, these people.

So, my New Year's Eve kinda sucked. I had made this fabulous plan to have my friends over. And I had told everyone, and asked my uncle 2 weeks beforehand. Then, 3 days before, I ask Paul if maybe I could clean up the living room some. And he said I should find someplace else to have my friends over. So, I have no idea what to do. My parent's house was right out, cos it's just, ew. So, I'm thinking I have to cancel, and my mom happens to mention something about my brother. So, we go to his place, and I ask him if I could borrow his apartment.
And he gives me a real hassle about it. I wouldn't have been asking if it wasn't really important to me. And his main arguements were, some exroommate of his had a party once, and made a massive mess, and wouldn't clean it up. Never mind that I'm NOT that kind of person, which he knows perfectly well. Honestly, Marcus really has some issues. So, he says he'll think about it and let me know. So I tell all my friends, plans are changed, it'll probably be at my bro's, let me know if u can come so I can tell him how many ppl it'll be.
And NO ONE gets back to me. Amsley was sick, so she's forgiven, cos she never read her email. But everyone else, how bloody hard is it to hit reply on an email, type, sorry, can't come? Or, if they didn't want to email me for some reason, I included my number in the email, they could have called. But no one let me know either way until the day of! And only then cos I sat online all day waiting for ppl to sign on so I could ask, and I called the ppl who didn't sign on!
So, I call my bro, and tell him never mind, everyone bailed. And so I spent New Year's Eve home alone. I ended up chatting with ppl online, which actually wasn't bad, cos I talked to Katy and Danielle and Nick. And, I made up a blenderful of strawberry daquaris, with 6 shots of vodka when it was supposed to have 3. And drank it ALL myself. Turns out, 6 shots of vodka in an hour, gets me nicely buzzed, but not drunk. Which is good to know. So, I was in a pretty good mood New Year's Eve, even if it was artificial.
So, then I went to see the movie Chicago with Kate and Jen and Ben on Wednesday. And that was fun. Kate and Ben and I went to a new restaurant called Cosi after the movie. Jen had to go home. So, kate, and I got sandwichs, and Ben got a pizza. Then we ordered smores for dessert. Only, Kate hadn't brought any money, and when the bill came, it turned out we were a little bit short. A really little bit, like a dollar maybe. But, also, nothing to leave a tip. And the guy deserved a tip. So Ben called his mom, and she came. And instead of just giving us $10 or so, so we could pay the bill, she paid the whole thing. It was really nice of her. And I'm going to try and get Nick and Kate and Jen and Liz together tomorrow for a movie or food or something, since Nick leaves for school on the 5th.
