lol sorry Brisin. Our other Boomkin got it first though. At least you have the cape! I did get really lucky with drops on Saturday... Two upgrades and two sidegrades, three of which are BiS. Which is ironic, considering I found out the next day that I'm going to have to cancel my account until I can get finances in better order. I feel really bad about it actually...

I thought astronomy would be really interesting, but I tried to take it twice and found it to be exceedingly boring. I couldn't care less what element planets are composed of.

Most people that take astronomy are likely more so looking for something more akin to a stargazing/why stuff is where it is class and not a class as science-y as astronomy ends up being.

I'd totally take the stargazing/why stuff is where it is class as a side note. Well I'd take both but w/e.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I signed up for it originally. I was a lot naive when I was a little freshman and 19.

Lol, despite being a humanities student, I'm actually a science nerd as well. :P If I hadn't adored Philosophy so much, there's a decent chance I would have done physics.

And I LOVE space. I find it super fascinating. I want to believe in reincarnation just so I can imagine that, in <insert really big number> years, I can be aboard a spaceship going who knows where. :D

Of course, being an atheist that doesn't believe in souls or free will kinda puts the damper on that...

:(

Well I really like biology. I've just never had much of an interest in the physical sciences. I'm a bit of a genetics nerd myself.

Idiggory, I saw. Grats! :)


Æeth, you might enjoy this show, if not for anything else, you probably will for the sound track. It's kind of sappy, though. The show, I mean.


I have finished all my coursework I could work on up till now, giving me a breather of about two days till I start the next. That one is just reading a book and doing a wee bit of research, and then I will have to improve my English paper and then exams start and soon, I'll be finished with college for good. Yay!


And... I like Finnish people. Odd language. I failed really hard at learning it. My brother encountered no such problems when learning obscure dialects of Hungarian. :/

They didn't have an astronomy class at my college, if they did I probably would have taken it. Although I did make an effort to avoid hardcore math classes after my freshman year. I dislike number-crunching at bad hours of the morning, and all the math classes were at like 8:00am.

I find it interesting everyone talking about removing clothes when it is really hot. Do that here in Australia for any length of time and you find yourself fried pretty quick. Very funny seeing all the English cricket spectators in the crowd on the second or third day of a game looking painfully red and glowing. The Aussie crowds are much more suitably attired as a rule due to having grown up with the anti-skin cancer adds telling you to Slip, Slop, Slap & Wrap - Slip on a shirt, Slop on the sunblock, Slap on a hat and Wrap on a pair of sunglasses.

Australia has one of the highest incidences of skin cancer in the world, at nearly four times the rates in Canada, the US and the UK.

Having spent some time in places like Fiji and the south of Italy during summer, I can honestly say that the sun here is brutal compared to other places. Supposed to be due to the hole in the ozone layer or something.

Never having been to Australia, I don't know how I would fare there, but when there's sun, I tan very easily. The only time I can remember where I had a proper sunburn is where I fell asleep on the beach in the middle of summer in the morning and woke up in the evening and my legs were all red and hurty.

I do tend to keep out of direct sunlight because it gives me migraines, so that would probably keep me from the worst damage.

I've been invited to go to India for a while and I pretty much declined because I do not want migraines, and I don't have them at all in England.

Yeah, well, f*ck Australia. If I ever go there, I'm wearing a ******* bee-keeper's suit because every goddamn creature there can kill me with a single bite or sting.

Eww nature get it off, get it off! :-)

Isn't the hole in the ozone layer over Australia and that's why it's so hot down there?

I believe in multiple dimensions/timelines. It's a geeky way of mixing fate and free will.

Imagine that every time something happens, be it life-altering or tiny, your timeline splits into the multiple available paths away from that moment. You move down the path you directly or indirectly choose, but in other timelines, other "you" move down the other paths. That way, your life, from you are born (or aren't born, depending on your parents' timelines), branches out into a plethora of possible endings.

One timeline might end up with you falling down a flight of stairs. One might end with you being the happy grand-father of a dozen grand-children (adopted, unless the timeline involves some interesting surgical procedure). One might end with you giving your life to save someone else.

All those timelines are destined to end in a certain way, sure, but you never know where yours will branch off to. Every time something happens, your actions, your decisions, your choices, shape your future.

Silly theory, but no more than believing in an invisible friend, right?

It's not actually that silly if you start looking at it from a high science point of view, quantum physics and string theory and the like.

Well, David Lewis (a well known 20th century Metaphysician) believed that all possible worlds actually existed. In that sense, every possible time line would be actual. Of course, the "you" that exists in those timelines wouldn't be YOU at all, just someone who has a large amount of physical and temporal similarities with you. Your universe and theirs, however, would be fundamentally separate.

This same theory also gives you a way to respond to the intelligent design argument quite easily. They try to argue that the incredibly low probability of the world resulting in the complexity we see says that the existence of a designer is likely. However, if it is true that all possible worlds actually exist, then it isn't surprising at all. We just HAPPEN to inhabit this possible world, but as all others exist as well, that isn't anything that should amaze us.

This is among his more controversial theories, though. He put forth a theory of spacetime that is actually quite interesting.

That's quite all right Brisin, though I appreciate the offer. That's very sweet. :-) My ld boyfriend is buying a new account and letting me do the recruit a friend thing with him so I can get the free month. I think it'd be cheaper to just buy me a game card though... at least then he wouldn't have to buy the game all over again. I'm going to mention that to him. But my living situation is probably going to be changing here pretty soon and I've got school to deal with. What I'm planning on doing is enabling the parental controls and putting a limit on how many hours a week I can play so I stop overdoing it. I've been using WoW as an escape to avoid all the problems in my life right now and it's not helpful. Life is complicated right now...

I got denied financial aid for this term because I've had two bad terms due to depression and excessive illness. I suspected that might happen, so I've been talking with my mom about her co-signing a private loan since my credit isn't good enough to get one by myself. While I don't entirely blame her for this, she's acting as if I'll be loaning the money from her directly and she doesn't want to help pay for living expenses for both me and my boyfriend that lives with me. It's not an uptight anti-sex thing with her, she just doesn't understand how bad the economy is. She can't grasp that it's hard to find work in the town I live in, and that it doesn't make economic sense for my bf to have a job that pays less than his unemployment benefits. He's been unemployed for a year and a half now, and she thinks he's just being lazy even though he looks for work online every single day and usually fills out a few applications every week. It makes me feel like she's trying to break us up, even though she claims it's nothing personal against him. I love my mother dearly, but her control issues really **** me off sometimes.

Sounds like a lot of **** to deal with. Escaping into WoW might be entertaining, it's not going to help.
Then again, if you escape into more expensive things when you're not playing WoW, WoW isn't such a bad thing Smiley: tongue
