Sweaters. They're just so adorable, and they look so cozy. Makes you just want to give them all a hug.

Of course, if you didn't want to hug them all before the sweaters, you have a heart made of stone.

Sweaters: Kinda like wearing a hug.

So... the #CanterlotCentral IRC channel has informed me that I am, in fact the Element of Mathematics.

I mean, come on, y'all. Calculating partial derivatives of multi-variable three-dimensional vectors isn't exactly rocket science....

Me, I am a shameless sock man.

My friends.

TODAY.

The Arkansas Razorbacks shall be most RIGHTEOUSLY WHOOPED in the GLORIOUS field of Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Can ah get ah ROLL TIDE?

On a related note, the UA quad today smells deliciously of pork BBQ.

I say, go for it.

Whatever you do though, you have to go in with confidence. No matter where you go in life, there are going to be half-witted people who love to take issue with the things other people enjoy, just so they have something to funnel their pitifully abundant negative thoughts into.

In short,

My instinctive response when a friend of mine first asked me was:

Iron Maiden - Wicker Man

Although, having thought about it a bit, I might just go with:

The Decemberists - This Is Why We Fight

You and three of your best friends are fighting your way through the zombie uprising. You find yourself cornered on the roof of a hospital. There is a chopper that could lift you to safety; but, there is only enough room left for three of you. You each draw straws, and yours is the short one.

The zombies are beating down the door to the rooftop. As you prepare to charge forward toward death or glory against the undead menace, a thought occurs to you.

You pull out your iPod.

What song do you put on?

How is this application going?

I'm working on a longer background section at the minute. Hopefully it'll fill in the holes that exist now.

I realize that furry artist drama is a stereotype, but I swear there are some folks that go out of their way to live up to it. >>;

Anyone who ragequits an online community because the admins jokingly change the banner, probably doesn't have the social and emotional maturity to handle community interaction in the first place. (That, or possibly an air of pretension so concentrated it may actually be flammable.)

... -blink-

Win hat is win!

:cool: The Bear smiles on this day.

Y'all, it is Saturday. It is Saturday the 17th.

That means that two specific things:

One. Season two begins.

Two. The Alabama Crimson Tide will be DOMINATING the hapless football* team of the University of North Texas this evening at five thirty central time.

As you can plainly see, I am quite prepared for both of these things.

*That's hand egg, to all y'all outside of the states.

Good ol' Washington has stayed nice and mild from the heatwave the rest of America was having. U jelly?

We're only just starting to finally cool off.

Oh, so jelly.

I don't usually turn to outbursts on the interwebs to let off steam, but I feel like there some crud I need to get off of my chest.

<vent>

I can't stand being compared to my uncle. I look up to and admire him, but I feel like certain people are expecting of all his success from me as well.

He's a civil engineer -- the same field I'm studying now -- and is the star of the family. It's for good reason, too: he's among the most respected in his field, and on the verge of going from second in charge of his company to owning his own firm. I originally wanted to be a Civ E major just so I could follow in his footsteps, but as encouraging as he himself is, there are certain people in my family who love to remind me that I'm still standing in his shadow.

I posted on Facebook today, worrying over my score in an engineering class, Mechanics of Materials, that I had to retake last semester. It's not for lack of understanding the material, mind you, but because my problem solving style is still developing; I'm still too sloppy, and truthfully, it's more practice than study now. Regardless, it's something that I'm struggling with, and all the pride and effort that go with it make it more than a little stressful.

Anyway. My aunt commented on my post: a full page on how her husband passed the same class with an A+, and made the dean's list so many times, and all while working a full time job, and starting a family, and even then still finished with a master's in just five years, and so on, and so on...

I know it's pointless to let it bother me. Even if by chance I did one day surpass everything he's done in his career, she wouldn't be anything but resentful of me for it; still... being held to the standards of your idol is just... more frustrating than most things I can imagine. I know the rest of the family isn't expecting all of that from me, but I know they feel at least partially the same way. Hearing her talk that way... it almost makes me feel like I'm letting them down as well.

She's a little OP, but she has to make regular sanity checks in order to do anything rational. Sounds balanced to me.

Ah, here's one: A tongue-morphing joke that makes bitter things taste sour.

I love my coffee and my beer and my chestnuts (and so on), but I can't stand sour stuff. x- x

I'd become exceedingly unlucky in dice rolls and coin tosses.

Roll one for initiative.

FIVE ENCOUNTERS IN A ROW!

Been there, done that. o-o

Fingers the size of sausages.

The element...

OF SURPRISE! >D

Also I'm not completely sure about him being involved with the Apple clan since technically that would count as a prior relation to cast members and that isn't allowed.

The way I had envisioned it, the only prior relationships would be with characters specifically from that locale -- bar pre-planned roleplaying plots -- and would be at most casual acquaintanceship.

Just a little bit of brain candy for you. Also what is a tan green colour? o-O

No, really, I'm colorblind. Help me out here. .-.

Precarious plot plundering.

Subtle butt bumbling.

Guarded glute glee.

AH-HA!

I figured out what it was missing: Just a dash more character flaw.

Should be more interesting now. : }
