So here you are... You thought it would be all crazy and stuff didn't you. Come on... Admit it. You wanted something spectacular, but you gots nuthin here. I appologize. I gotta ease into this web thing again, but i'm feeling it. Mebbe a couple of pics and stuff will help me out or sumpin. I dunno. I think the most important thing is routine, and the best way I know of keeping a routine is to keep a cheesy online diary!!!!
DEAR DIARY... AH HA HA HA!!! If you really want to know what I did, or what I feel, just ask! My bad, i don't have any cool interviews and stuff, but I promise i'll get something good for you up some time. Ok ok, I guess I'll just babble for a bit now..

      I know everyone was kinda wondering about how people would change and stuff, but honestly, now that we're a good third into the second term, you gotta ask yourself, "have I really changed?" I mean, it's not like people went to university saying to themselves, "Ok, i'm gonna be a completly different person. I'm gonna mack Ho's (or He-bitches) and have the time of my life." ... Well, I hope they didn't, because that would be even more depressing than having no friends, but seriously. How much have you changed? I think the atmosphere in university is completly different, and that may affect your perception of how stuff works in the world, but looking back at the Christmas holidays, I can honestly say that I don't think anybody changed. But that's a good thing. I mean, to an extent, we all wanted to break free of the "gifted incest", and a sure fire way of doing that is to pretend you're someone you're not, and find friends who like that "new you", but doesn't it feel so much better to make new friends, even if it's not as many as you'd hope, knowing that you haven't tried to become a new person because of that? I don't think university changes you, It's more like you learn more about yourself by being separated from the people you were with, and in turn, you build on the foundation of who you are that was laid out in high school. Don't just throw away a tomato plant just because it's not growing as fast as you'd hope. You get less satisfaction by buying a new plant.

     The absolute best way to make new friends has almost nothing to do with going to bars or hotboxing a persons car. The best way to make new acquaintences is to join study groups! I kid you not. Study groups are key. Not only do you learn with people, which leads to discussions and the like, but when you take breaks together, you can learn so much more than hanging around with someone for an entire day. Breaks durring a study period need to be used to the fullest potential so people are almost willing to talk about anything, other than work. You don't need to distance yourself from others! All you need to do is study with people, Bitch about a teacher you all hate, and that'll start the ball rollin'. Scouts honour!
     Rice is the POO! Granted, i'm a little biased about it all, but after several months of living off of cafe food, I'm seriously investing in one of those mini rice cookers. MANY PROPS TO CJ! Even though I generally bug him on a regular basis, he's saved my ass by making me rice on several occasions. *sniff* *sob* You're too good to me... I don't see how people here can eat that uncle bens shit they have here! The rice doesn't stick together, and it has this chewy texture to it that can't be described in it's full horror! To make thing's worse, every other week they have chinese night! By chinese, I mean chicken balls and "Chow mein" (pronounced "chow main" by those more unlearnedededed than myself) AHH!!! Me thinks a jihad is in order...

Girlfriends are good, trying to get a girlfriend is bad, girlfriends are best.
     TOE! What the brud are you smoking?!! Never you mind, but what i'm saying will make sense. Girlfriends are good. It's totally different from having regular friends, because there an element of deeper trust and closeness that you really can't have with friends, but trying to get a girlfriend is bad. I swear, It might unfair to say this, because I have a biased opinion, but 1) Girls expect too much from guys, and 2) Guys have it the worst in the relationship game. I'm seeing WAY too many guys being passed up by girls who want a mature upper year man, but the fact of the matter is that there are guys that are just as good. Sure they don't have a car, but are you really that shallow? The worst thing is that sometime around second or third year, girls realize this and end up dating someone from the same year. It would have saved a lot grief from both parties if girls realized that although the majority of guys do thing, to some extent, with their crotch, it doesn't mean everyone is like that. Secondly Guys do have it the worst. I mean, I know there are a lot of guys who think they can rub up on some girl they thing is hotstuff, and think that is something, but honestly what are you thinking? If you do get something from that, it probably means that the girl's a ho, and you're gonna have crabs. But they don't have as bad as the smarter guys. A guy who isn't a blithering idiot will realize that they should get to know a person before anything out, but then it's always the good guys that get caught in FRIENDSHIP LIMBO. Once again, i must reiterate my bias from my observations here in university, but there are so many guys that take the time to know a girl but end up shooting themselves in the foot cuz they get caught in FRIENDSHIP LIMBO (don't ask why I capitalize it. Dramatic effect I guess...) They don't want to ruin the friendship that has developed, but they still like the girl. See what I mean? It's like jumping off a cliff, hoping that a warm updraft will pick you up and send you soaring, instead of falling to your death.
Ultimately, I think it's just good to have friends who are girls. I know it seems like a wussies way out, but it is. I mean, sure you lose out on something more tangible, and luvy duvy, but it's sure beats falling to your death on a regular basis. Further more, if you're really that desperate, it's probably better you don't throw yourself completly at every girl you see. It'll only come back to haunt you when the rumour spreads about the pathetic girlfriend hunter. So just relax!!!! I know some guys out there really wanted to have a girlfriend in university, but trust me, I went through this process, and quite honestly it wasn't pretty at all. Just have fun in University. God has a way of hooking up the people deserving hook ups. I dunno, she's weird like that.

Theory of Friendship Point Division
Everyone is alotted a certain amount of points. You use these points to signify how close you are to someone, for example a close acquaintance might be allocated 6 points, while someone you might nod your head to while walking down the street, might pull a 1. In theory, the amount of points you give one person should equal the amount of points that they give you. IMPORTANT! Don't spread yourself too thin. Everyone want a massive load of friends, but the fact of the matter is that with close friends, there is a measure of exclusiveness involved. As cold as it seems, you can't be everyone's best friend. You can keep different circles separate, but there's still time and energy involved.

Theory of Toe's gonna get his ass whupped
XX + XY = Good times for all
XX + XY + XX = Deep poopie
Let M = One unit of beer
XY + 30M = Deep poopie
BUT WAIT!!!
XX + XY + XX = XY + 30M (oh crap, this next line is gonna get me killed...)
2XX = 30M
XX = 15M...
BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT ISN'T TRUE!!! RIGHT GUYS?!!! RIGHT?! ... guys? ...
