Who here has heard of Yuwie? It advertises as "The first social network that pays its users."

You guys catch that? Their whole pitch is about how you get paid for each referral. And they act as if it's a revolutionary new idea. The referral system itself sounds like it'd pay better than ours at Nutang, but I checked a few profiles, and there is NO activity. People are joining because they think that just sitting there is enough. I bet the people there don't interact at all! It's like a sick mirror of Nutang. And I bet Nutang was here first anyway. Dave's gotta see this.

On Saturday I went to Scarowinds with Kyle, Will, Kayla, Ryan, and Katherine. It was fantastic. Usually, Carowinds is a waste of money and not especially fun anyway. But when they open the Halloween park at night, well, it's better. There are several "mazes", each with a different theme. And real people. The guys who work there really get into spirit. Some of them wear knee pads, so they can get a running start and slide at you. It scares the living crap out of some people.

I'm proud to say I only flinched once the whole night, and it was only a facial movement. There was a hallway with a bright light at the end, the glare was blinding. So I almost ran into the guy dressed as a corpse that jumped at me. Also, in Vampire Woods there was a lady on a table with her eyes closed. I guess most people assume that she wasn't real, but we knew better. I sneaked up on her and got behind her head just as she opened her eyes and hissed at my friends. I danced around behind her until everyone started laughing, and then I walked away. I wonder if she ever noticed me.

I was disappointed on only three accounts. The fog machines were using some sort of chemical smog that left me coughing all night. The turkey leg I bought for 8 bucks wasn't that great. And I had to leave before we could get on the Top Gun roller coaster. But it was great.

Sunday was spent sleeping, mostly. I usually stay away from medication, but I took an allergy pill for the smog because I couldn't stop coughing. So, I slept until noon the next day. Not bad.

I went to Sarah Auvil's party at 1:30 and watched Howl's Moving Castle. It wasn't half bad. Corny as anything, but still pretty cool. Then I went to Youth Group and pretty much did a project for line art. I had to write a paper to go with it, which spurred the AIM conversation below. I had some fun with the paper itself, which is in my writing section. When I make that a link, it means I've added a picture of the art itself. It isn't GREAT, but I like the way it looks.

I spontaneously started asking people a question after school today. Not including "Boxers or briefs?" I had a sudden thought, and decided to test it. And the answers were unanimous.

"Do I need a theme song?"
"Holy cow, you DO!"

You know you have it good when everyone you know thinks you need a theme song.

Check it out. I had no idea the time zones were so random. Especially -5, around South America. It practically disappears.

My music is back online! Zanzibars everywhere rejoice. Notice the "Nightwish" section at the bottom of the list. Score.

Earlier today I was very stupid. And then I took a Spanish exam. Which was completely unrelated.

For once, I wanted to try a coffee themed drink at Panera Bread, because it looked like the delicious. It was a frozen mocha. It made me very hyper for swim practice, which was good. But it was mostly nasty, and gave me some stomach trouble. I'm going to have caffeine ridden poop later; I just know it.

Last half day of school is tomorrow. I have two exams, one of which is going to give me ulcers. Government and Econ, which is mostly memorization of court cases and various government leaders (the economy part is way too easy). Then Chemistry, which I will breeze or die.

I wanted to post because I was tired of having 7 comments. Hahaha. Later, guys. Enjoy the tunes.

wow, i feel the love. that post is currently 2nd most read in nuTang, and i have more comments then ever, even a few from almost total strangers, offereing support and advice. im feeling much better about life in general, but it took alot of looking at myself and thinking. that post prolly wasn't even as much about Lyssa as it sounded like, sure i felt a bit depressed, but i think most of the anger and frustration was from my currnet outlook on life, and my crappy state of spirituality. (which im working on, and it really feels good to have heavenly help)

Anyhoo, this is a testament to how much better nuTang is that other web blogs. everyone cares, and they (are actually allowed to) show it. the only catch i can find are too many posts like this last paragraph



PS. im trying to make a decent pixel man. i can't figure out how, any hints? ive tried shrinking a full body picture, but the face looks funny
