So I was Googling for the origin of the phrase "more than one way to skin a cat" and I found some unsettling photographs. Now I am sad. Also, I never found a definitive answer for my original question.

I don't know why I'm so reluctant to publicly admit to my own non-religiousness. What am I scared of?

Well, nothing bad happened yesterday, but I would really like to crawl back into bed and stay there for a couple of days.

Ugh, how did it turn into Saturday night so quickly?

This essay I'm working on probs won't be long enough. I don't know how to be wordy. Also, I'm probably leaving some things out.

I was observing some other people's behavior yesterday and I realized that I don't want to be the kind of person that is unable to handle constructive criticism. I must always keep an open mind. If I'm not growing, I'm dying.

I saw a car accident yesterday morning! I had never witnessed one IRL before. It was kind of frightening.

Now I have a headache.

ughhh I hate myself right now

Well, I did end up going to school yesterday. What kind of sickness last for a few hours? It couldn't have been the flu, could it? My only symptoms were fatigue and dizziness. Maybe it was something I ate? Maybe it was something I didn't eat?

Sorry for the rant, but I saw a PEMDAS discussion pop up in TQC and had to get this off my chest.

Consider the following math problem:

27 / 3 x 8 = ___

Interpreted literally, PEMDAS would have you multiply 3 and 8 first, leading to an extremely incorrect answer. The issue here is that multiplication and division are essentially the same thing (as are addition and subtraction), but that usually doesn't get taught until later on, which is a big problem for me. I don't know of a better way to teach order of operations; I just wanted to make a point about the fallibility in learning mnemonic devices without understanding the underlying mechanics.

Have I mentioned this yet? There's a guy at my school with the same first and last name as me. I think he's, like, a third cousin or something? I dunno.

I hate Facebook so much. Why won't it work properly under Opera? And will someone please tell me how to block all this Farmville shit?

I think one of my wisdom teeth is coming in. Isn't that supposed to hurt, though? I don't feel anything just yet.

This song is stuck in my head. I blame my brother.

I can't sleep, so I'm going to sit here in my boxers and work on English stuff.

Well... that's what I say I'm going to do, at least.

I am sooooo tired. I want to hire someone to sleep for me so I can do things and not worry about nodding off halfway through.

I can't believe it's almost Wednesday already. Labor Day has fucked with my brain.

I am installing the Aion beta client for my brother and I'm having issues with the .NET Framework. I'm not sure what that does, but I think reinstalling it will fix it (which is what I'm doing right now). If that doesn't work, then I don't really know what to do.

CRAP LIKE THIS IS WHY GAMING CONSOLES ARE SO POPULAR.

I want a pet tarantula.

This question reminds me of the VS "wireless bra" commercial that always makes me think the bra has some kind of Bluetooth connectivity or something.

This Writer's Block queston dovetails nicely with what I mentioned in my previous entry. I'm sure this is obvious to most of you, but I have only recently realized that people will judge you—before they've even met you!—based on the quality of your clothing. So... wear nice clothes and stand up straight, and people (including yourself) will instantly hold you in higher regard.

Meteorologists say that the Atlantic could get its first named storm of the year sometime this week. I am pleasantly surprised that it took this long to happen.

Of course, that first storm could always turn into another Hurricane Andrew. That would suck.

I am angry that the universe doesn't care about us.

Every few weeks I will spontaneously stop shaving, and I am always surprised when I see myself in a mirror with a beard.

I went for a walk a few mornings ago; the cool air reminded me of a day camp I attended one summer which was kind of scary at first because I was the youngest/littlest kid there but it turned out to be a lot of fun. It was a very nice flashback.
