12:49 am	You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe. </td> agnosticism 88% atheism 63% Buddhism 63% Christianity 58% Islam 54% Satanism 50% Paganism 46% Judaism 42% Hinduism 33% Which religion is the right one for you?

1:20 am	Oh what tangled webs we weave Friendster is fricking amazing. That "connection details" button... Entire groups of friends I don't mentally associate with each other are tied together in the strangest fashions, leading to many "Whoa, he knows her?" and even a "What the heck? My older COUSIN knows her?!?" Indeed, this is a world where you can't offend anyone, or it'll come back and bite you on the arse in the most unexpected way. (So hey, my policy of appeasement to all seems to work out fine, eh?) Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)

6:05 am	I'm not surprised... You have a Purple Lightsaber. Purple is associated with wisdom, dignity, independence, creativity, mystery, and magic. Purple denotes high spirituality and religious aspiration. Purple also represents Peacefulness and Purification. It also has a sense of intuitive understanding and a feeling of intimacy with the world. What Colored Lightsaber Would You Have? brought to you by Quizilla Interesting, they predicted my Lightsabre color... Current Mood: geeky Current Music: Now it's 6am. You gotta be kidding me.

5:03 am	Well hey, Friendster! When was the last time I touched LiveJournal? A heck of a long time ago. Why do I even have this? This entry, if I recall correctly, will be the first entry I'm actually writing, as opposed to just tossing garbage up here. So I've got Friendster now, and I'm looking up all my old classmates... boy am I slow on the popular technology curve! Hm, so what's the point of having a journal if I don't engage in a little self-therapy while I'm here? After all, nobody reads these things, except for those people who walk around posting links and poking people to look. Honestly, does anyone actually care? If I was someone other than me, the only reason I'd look here is just to take a look at what an old friend is doing. Certainly not an active friend I see at least weekly. Morbid curiosity if anything. So for you with the morbid curiosity who for some reason is still reading, I might as well let you in on what's been going on, eh? For my old elementary school friends... Well, Brebeuf was certainly an experience. I definitely missed you guys initially, I mean, almost everyone was at Pope! Made friends and all, but by the end of it, can't help but note that going to an all-boys school (regardless of how close the nearest all girls school is) definitely puts a crimp on your social development. That's right, I'm not just talking about trouble developing a social life (and you, snickering in the background, everything's cool by now, alright? This is in the past... Oh, shut up.) but the simple fact that we had to actually go out and seek out the fairer sex. Lack of a simple common ground to begin conversations aside, lack of exposure hampers most efforts to meet people. Have I mentioned I was lazy? Thank god for co-ed summer school... And for those who did go to Brebeuf... Brebeuf was great!...*cough*. So here I am at McMaster University. I have absolutely no idea why I went into Computer Engineering. Let's look at it this way - you got a computer geek who's only got vague 'computerish' ideas of the future, and people saying engineering is great. And there I went. My marks, of course, shoulda clued me into something. Going into university, my highest marks were finance oriented. So, first year I coasted by, failing a math class. Shouldn't be too surprised though. I adjusted to university like a fish in the desert. That is, not at all. Hell, I'll be honest here, since what are the odds that my parents (or anyone, for the matter) will read this? I didn't go to class. I mean, AT ALL. I went for what, the first two weeks of class first semester? I smartened up a bit after the first sem was over and the marks came out...ended up going to almost all the classes the second semester except for the last two weeks. A sign from God, that was - I failed my second semester math, and ended up retaking it in the summer (And got 100%, nonetheless.) The newfound freedom granted by university, and especially being in residence and away from home, I lacked discipline for. Wish I'd joined the Reserves like I'd planned, but get this, I didn't fail my physical, or my mental acumen test, oh no. I failed the bloody medical...my damn eyes. Contacts aren't allowed and you gotta be able to ID friend or foe without assistance at 100m...they told me I could be a clerk. Or a medical assistant. Yeah right. So anyhow, despite one failure, I had a decent average and was on my way to second year Eng, and boy was that stupid. No, I didn't heed the signal that I shouldn't be here. Instead, I think "Hey, I'm in this anyways, I might as well go on." And DAMN. I tried to shape up, really I did. Didn't work. Hell, I ended up getting into shape and going out more, but that was 2nd on the list of things to do, and I failed the 1st - do better academically horribly. Failed what, 4 courses? Booted out of Eng...Which I shouldn't have continued in, if I really had been thinking. Once again, I didn't go to class, influenced no doubt by my first year roommates with a considerably lighter course load (Or so I lie to myself). So where am I at right now? Well, given the current path I'm in, I can end up with a Math Sci and an Econ degree by the end of next year, graduating at the 'proper' time with two degrees. Of course, I would HAVE to grab an MBA (Ha!) with that outcome. I'll try to switch into Commerce, though that'll be one hell of a job. I might have managed a transfer after 1st year, but not after the shape my marks were in after 2nd year... So how am I doing right NOW? Well, 5 courses this semester, and I've dropped one. Of the four, two I don't go to classes for and the other two I TRY (and am starting to fail - hell, I'm writing this at 5:30 in the bloody morning) to get to. And hell, I'm getting around 80% on average from these four courses. After Eng, econ courses and the odd math course seem so easy. And to be blunt and completely without tact, the people are dumber. If I was still in Eng, I'd barely be passing. As it is, I'm way ahead of the median and mean. Have I MENTIONED that I should have been in commerce in the first place? Dang it, I shoulda joined my buddy Leo and applied to York's business school...regrets, I've got more than a few. Hey, don't think I'm down though. If you know me well, you know I grin and bear it all. No use worrying about things you can't change is something I say. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's being cheery and providing a happy face for those around me...smile, and the whole world smiles with you. Sure, sometimes I fall into a depression, but I can pull myself out of those pretty damn quick. Sometimes I'm jealous of my friends, I admit. Nice jobs, good marks, a good steady girlfriend, or any combinations of those. Times like that though, the most important thing to do is count your blessings, and then I notice hey, life seems unfair, but if you discount all the hard work and effort they took to get there, we've all been equally blessed. Hard work and effort can be duplicated, but what we have now are ours alone. ...boy, that got a lot more introspective than anything I've ever said, written, or expressed in any other way. I'm pretty damn sure anyone reading this (Yes, I'm referring to you, that one person here who was bored outta your mind.) would be pretty dang surprised at what actually goes on inside my head. Alien conspiracies and political/military connections notwithstanding. Talking about those things tend to make people disappear though, so don't expect me to ever mention them again, if I ever get in the habit of using written therapy regularly. I really don't think I have enough angst to write regularly though. Most journals are full of idiots with 'angst' when there's literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people worse off than we are. Ah well, I'm getting bitter. If there's one thing I can't stand...well actually, there's a lotta things I can't stand, and I'm not going to commit myself on paper (so to speak) on this one. I've procrastinated enough, I really ought to go to sleep, so this is in fact, The End. Current Mood: Can't sleep! Current Music: Are you mad? It's 5 in the bleeding morning! (Comment on this)

12:23 am	LN Elven Bard/Ranger, hm... I Am A: Lawful Neutral Elf Bard Ranger Alignment: Lawful Neutral characters believe in the triumph of law and order above all else. It does not matter whether the leader is for good or evil; the leader will be followed, because the order they provide is the most important thing. Race: Elves are the eldest of all races, although they are generally a bit smaller than humans. They are generally well-cultured, artistic, easy-going, and because of their long lives, unconcerned with day-to-day activities that other races frequently concern themselves with. Elves are, effectively, immortal, although they can be killed. After a thousand years or so, they simply pass on to the next plane of existance. Primary Class: Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit. Secondary Class: Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy. Deity: Helm is the Lawful Neutral god of guardians and protectors. His followers believe in vigilance and preparedness, and are always ready for whatever confronts them. They wear plate mail, sometimes with gold embossing, with an open eye set into the breastplate, and an open-faced helmet. Helm's symbol is an open eye in a gauntlet.

10:28 pm	Life You go and make all these plans about what you're going to do in the future, and guess what? Life's what happens while you're making all those plans. Relax, you can't win the rat race, you're just running in a little wheel. Step out for a moment and look at what you're doing. Be the man sitting in a rickey chair fishing, not the one working for 50 years to retire, sit in a chair, and fish. You'll be much happier that way. (Comment on this)
