Truly, if there is evil in this world, then it lies within the heart of mankind.

Hey. I decided that this was gonna be the new layout for my news page. What do you think? Tell me on the site forum.

School
Right now, school is looking down. Term 1 was a disaster - a term loaded with B's with the sole high point of an A+ in Trig. Three B's in Honors classes, with two A's in AE classes. Empty victories; despite what it may take to achieve those A's, they remain below full potential for a class of such a level. Chem is also starting off terribly with an 85 on the first test, filled with random taking off of points on the partial credit.

GameFAQs
Eh. It's pretty sad how hooked I am on the GameFAQs message board, and even sadder that I am writing about it on a personal website. It's so unrewarding. I realize that there is nothing to gain with people who I don't know, who rarely have any brains at all, who don't care about my opinion, and who are too stubborn to be convinced in any sort of debate. After I finish my waning "Best. Game. Ever." contest there as well as Pokemon Survivor, I'm out of there for good.

Miscellaneous
Well let's see... my life is as non-existent as ever before. I am making no active attempt to improve my social life. On the flip side though, I am playing Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, and Final Fantasy X.

There is something so charismatic about Castlevania. It is self-paced and allows for mucho exploring. Even when there is no particular goal, there is something appealing about the ability to fly as you please through the castle. Run, jump, kill. Run, jump, kill, jump, run. The massive castle is teeming with life and action. Very rarely is flow of the game disrupted, and with no levels, the non-linearity allows for long sessions of running around, accomplishing nothing but gaining levels....

Anyway....

I'm looking to improve my life, but there is no obvious solution, and inferring a solution requires far too much effort to be worth my time.

Last night I went to the school play. I went there to see Jiang's one-liner. Of course, I felt humiliated by the fact that there was nobody I knew there. The show itself however was worth the stay. A typical fairy tale of teenage angst and love where the good guy gets the girl and the good girl gets the bad guy, it would appear to be very inspirational. On the flip side, the cliche roles in society were also very well-defined, and I felt rather alienated when I realized that there was no cliche that even came close to how I saw myself. And then I wonder, how do others perceive me? Do I fall under a stereotypical group myself?
