'dul's thing was today.
He got his grant for this comic he'd been working on. It's so weird, I've seen that thing around all the time, and he got a grant for it. Surreal. This sounds wrong, like I don't think he deserved it, which is not the case.
His mom was there. That woman... I don't know. She sees Ana. Ana doesn't see her. AFTER Ana passes her, Ms. Doris goes and picks Ana up from behind. So of course, Ana screams. She's perfectly right to scream, she just got picked up without her consent, by somebody she didn't even know was there! And then Ms. Doris walks off with this kid. No wonder Ana spent most of the award ceremony carefully avoiding her grandmother. Somebody needs to send a giant out to pick Ms. Doris up like that, see how she likes it.
Ana did calm down eventually, and was friendly, and (finally) learned how to throw a snowball. Well. Kinda. She learned that this is what people do, but she can't really throw them. It's more like "dropping with momentum".
And then I got my presents. Guess what, guess what, guess what I got!
A book on obsolete/obscure words and...
The Gargoyles' First Season!!!!!
*hugtackles Jenn* I love you, I love you, I love you, and thanks for making me call job people and finding jobs for me to look into, and I love you!
I'm gonna go now. I have a show to watch, and dishes to wash.
This entry is dated ahead 30 minutes. I'm eager to get my first post of the day out of the way. So when I say "today", I mean Sunday, even though this is dated on Monday.

For your present, I present you some assorted linkies. I, at least, find them interesting - let's hope you haven't heard about all of these before! (They're not particularly new news.)
Virtual keyboards: http://www.alpern.org/weblog/stories/2003/01/09/projectionKeyboards.html
"anything into oil" news: http://www.discover.com/issues/jul-04/features/anything-into-oil/ and the company's own faq: http://www.changingworldtech.com/information_center/faq.asp (You have heard of this technology, right? Because it's absolutely amazing, fantastic, wonderful, all that good stuff. Solves the oil problem and the landfill problem all in one go.)
And on a completely seperate but random note, I just discovered a really fascinating website with definitions and descriptions of a whole bunch of various architectural styles and components (overall, roofs, windows, columsn, etc.) with accompanying pictures.
And a quiz you can take that'll tell you which religion (or lack thereof) you most closely seem to identify with: http://beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html I know a significant number of people who've taken it at another board and found it to be very accurate.

I think, in retrospect, that I'd simply misread some of their questions/choices, but it still irritated me.
no subject
And I'll stop with the spamming now. It's been at least six or seven comments today, I think. :0

And I apologise again. *frowns* Forgive?

ConnieTactTM! Buy some today, get rid of those annoying "friends" you've got hanging around!

I'm sorry. I just realized how offensive that is. I say "baptist" and mean "fundamentalist baptist", and by that I mean "kinda crazy like that guy in my philosophy class who wanted to convince us that a circular argument is a good thing if it proves God exists", and I consciously know that's inaccurate.
My deepest apologies.
Shit, now I *do* feel bad. I really hate prejudice, and try to be better than that, and there it is...
Smite me next time, 'k?

(I ask that honestly. The ones I've known were all fundamentalist, and I never got the impression that there's a liberal sect.)

That test didnt tell me anything I didnt know. Some of the quesitons were kinda worded weirdly, however. Mabye you interpreted them differently to the test authors?
