Chaeotica's Journal

*Happy Dance!*

I'm getting my FFVII:AC screensaver back!!! *cheers*

And I'm getting FireFox as a trial deal. It looks almost exactly like IE, but it seems to be less virus friendly. Which is a good thing, of course.

I am an Asteroid. I am a drifter. I go where life leads, which makes me usually a very calm and content sort of person. That or thoroughly apathetic. Usually I keep on doing whatever I'm doing, and it takes something special to make me change my mind. What Video Game Character Are You?

I am a Pacman Ghost. I like to hang around with friends, chatting, dancing, all that sort of thing. We don't appreciate outsiders, and do our best to discourage others approaching us. I enjoy occasionally wandering around randomly, and often find that when I do so, I get to where I wanted to be. What Video Game Character Are You?

Well, the temp is lower than average here, a balmy 30 degrees or so...
(Wait a minute! That's not lower than average in Pennsylvania!)
True, but I'm not in PA anymore.
(Huh?)
Yup, I's gettin' me an Alabama edjumacation now.
(Stop that. It's scary.)
So's the schizophrenia act.
(...Whatever.)

Anyway, I'm now at UAH, working on a degree in Management Information Systems. Which is sorta like IST, except it's in the School of Business. Why am I at UAH? Well, it's a long story, but it boils down to the fact that I...
(...am a slacker)
...*ahem* IST is a controlled major at the UP campus, and I didn't meet the qualifications. I could have transferred to another campus, but either the *bleep* admins didn't send me info or the *bleep* communication system is out to get me...
(Considering other e- and snail-mail that went astray, it's probably the latter.)
...because I didn't get the info, and didn't know I was hosed until I tried to register for classes.

So, now I'm at UAH. And I'm a Junior who hasn't filled all the core course requirements for the major yet. But it's not too bad. A lecture class here is about 1/14th to 1/18th the size I'm used to, and it's only a 5 minute or so walk between my classes.

Why am I updating now? Well, my accounting class was canceled, there's a computer lab right here, and I'm living at home.

...I miss Ethernet...

IMDb has the voice list for FFVII: Advent Children! Yay! And Zack's in it! (At the very least, as a VO)
( Here are some of the voices: )

*Looks at a map*
Well... I don't know enough Japanese, so Japan's out...
England's PM's been brown-nosing Bush, so I'd best stay out of Great Britain...
And I can't fake a good Irish or Scotish accent for more than a minute...
And Australia's climate sucks...
Looks like I'm going to Germany!

*Starts packing bags*
Maybe I can find a McDonalds to work at...

Hier ist dein Pomme Frits, Hamburger, und Bier. Auf Wiedersehen.

Kann ich Ihnen helfen?

Of all the arguments for and against voting, only one touched me in a meaningful way. I give it to you here:

"If you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain"
- My Dad.

Fuck that. There's no way I'm giving up my right to complain!

*grabs ballot and starts connecting the dots*

...You can only type/read "soccer" so many times before it doesn't look right.
