| 9 - come along, Fool |
[Apr. 1st, 2010|10:33 pm] |
Does it surprise anyone by now to know that I hate April Fool's Day? (And on another note, so I don't have to post another anti-holiday sentiment seperately, Easter. Sorry, Shizuka.) The reasons should be obvious. Transparent trickery, juvenile pranks, ridiculousness for the sake of ridiculousness - it's awful. One of my least favorite days of the year.
Everything seems more bizarre than normal this year, though. I wonder why.
And, while it pains me to ask, what exactly is a Pokemon? |

I'm alive. Killed four people, but I'm alive. Got out of the hospital not too long ago... forgot about posting here.
Shizuka, anyone else who's worried, don't. I'm fine.
I'll be back in school tomorrow.
And no, I don't want to talk about it. |

Does it come as a surprise to anyone that I hate Valentine's Day? It's worse than Christmas. A holiday based on greeting cards and gifts, the measure of a person's importance to another person measured by how much is spent. The origin story is interesting enough, but it's been completely buried by commercialism.
But I'm not going to rant. If you can look past all of the materialism and actually enjoy this holiday, good for you.

The things that have been happening in Harmony lately are sick. Just sickening. It's not right that people like that exist, do what they do. It's almost enough to make me go into law... But, no. I'm better suited to academics.
Still, I hope all three of those people are found, if missing, and convicted. Especially that Kinnon woman. Murder... I just can't wrap my head around it. Who would do something like that? As for the suicide case, well. It's a tragedy, but at least he had some level of choice.
Apparently it's been bothering me more than I thought. I woke up with this overwhelming sense of dread. Hopelessness. I can't shake it. I've been trying - reading, studying, all the usual things that get my mind off of whatever's bothering me when I feel this way, but something's lingering. I don't know if it's a reaction to what's been happening in the news or if it's something entirely different, but whatever it is, I don't like it. I'm tired, too. It's as if I'm the walking dead.
There has to be something positive going on. I saw that text inviting everyone out to Tonic. I've never been, but I have the feeling it's not my kind of place. I don't drink and I don't dance. But obviously some people are going, or else the text wouldn't have been sent. I hope you have a good time.
I need a hobby. Outside of Quizbowl and chess. I've been thinking of taking up a sport, but winter's not exactly the greatest time to do that. I don't really know what else there is. Baking? I'm not going into baking. I'm content to sit back and eat whatever comes out of Shizuka's kitchen. And everything else that I associate with the word "hobby" is just... no. No scrap-booking or stamp collecting for me.
Maybe I should watch more TV. It seems to make other people happy. |

I hate this time of year.
No, really, I do, and I'm not just saying that to be contrary or obnoxious. The days are as short as they get; it's freezing outside; there's a mindless debate between "Happy Holidays" and "Merry Christmas" that I could really care less about... bright lights everywhere, and I swear the next time I hear the loudspeaker in the grocery store tell me to jingle all the way, I'm going to kill somebody.
Jingle. I hate that word.
Even worse is shopping for gifts. I never know what to get anyone, for the few people I care to give gifts to. I'm sure you expect bad presents by now - Graves, Shizuka. I'll do my best.
I hear there are births coming up and weddings going on. Congratulations to all involved. |

This isn't right. I lost two out of three chess matches today. Embarrassing losses, stupid mistakes. It didn't help that my opponents were female. It's not that I lost - not that I like losing, but you can't expect to win every match - it's the way I lost. I'm better than this. Even my classwork's off.
No point on dwelling on my losses. Maybe I should just hole myself up in my room with a book on strategy. Or do something to take my mind off of all of this.

| 3 - some kind of harmony is on the rise |
[Oct. 29th, 2009|07:21 am] |
That's it. After toiling over essay subjects that range from the ridiculous to the mundane ("You have just completed your 300-page autobiography. Please submit Page 217." Really?), I've finally finished my application for early decision at Harmony University. Now there's nothing to do but to wait.
I shouldn't be this worried. This isn't the Ivy League. But while I'm confident I'll get in, submitting the application still makes me nervous.
In other news, I've found a costume. Prince Charming. (Blame Shizuka.) |

| 2 - I'm living in an age that calls darkness light |
[Oct. 18th, 2009|01:08 pm] |
I'm in a dark mood today.
I don't know what brought it on, but I have the strangest distaste for the human race. Maybe because it's Sunday - I don't have anything against religion, but I do hate the hypocrites it tends to create. It's like there's badness all around: kids bullying other kids, high-schoolers destroying each others' self esteem - and that's just the little things. Harmony's a pretty tame town, but it's not like this everywhere.
I can't shake the feeling that we'd all be better off if some people weren't around.
Wishful thinking, though. There's always going to be bad people in the world, and there's not much anyone can do to stop it. It's not like somebody's going to suddenly take it onto themselves to form some kind of utopia.
Anyone up for... well, anything? I need to get out of my head. |

I don't usually write down or type out my thoughts. I prefer them to stay inside my head. But I woke up this morning and for the life of me couldn't remember what I've been doing the past couple weeks. It's all a fuzzy blur. So I figure having a written account of what's going on might be worthwhile.
I'm Light Yagami, currently attending Harmony High as a senior. I do chess club and Quizbowl when I'm not studying, so I might know a few of you through that, or just from walking the halls. |
