When I was young, I didn't care. I was busy crawling down the stairs...

Yup. I really have no need to vent at the moment, but I'm sure I'll think of something in the process of writing this... If kitty will ever leave me alone. He's been pretty crazy of late... (I wonder if anyone actaully reads this. Hmm. I hope not.) Anyway. If I do choose to name him, I'm going to be forced to make it something incredibly energetic sounding since he's been so... well, energetic lately. I wonder what's going on.

Still trying in the useless department which everyone who knows me knows about... (Verbosity at its best.) It takes more effort not to do anything than it does to try to help. Which sucks. I wonder what I'm going to do if something happens. It really sucks to dream about that. Her pain and hurt... If only there was something I could do... At least they're just dreams, though. Anything else would be unbearable. But if something does happen, what would I do?... How would I even know?
... Quite a depressing thought...

Since I don't really want to dwell on that right now... and because I'll have plenty of time with Mr. Psycho sleeping in my room, I will continue my wondering about magnets. You see, I realized that electromagnets only have magnetic fields when there is a current running through them. This makes me wonder, since the two, magnetism and electromagnetism (as the naming scheme implies), are rather closely related, what in the world is the energy source of the magnet? I was really into this random thought on my walk home and I almost got run over twice thinking about it. I figured that there has to be some sort of electrical source and that it's obviously self-contained. I narrowed the possiblities to some odd extention of the nuclear force that creates the field lines or the fact that Iron is the sink for both nuclear fission and fusion. The problem with the first is, well, nuclear forces with everything else seem really tightly knit and... uh... drawn in on themselves? An exception for magnets would be kinda weird, but quarks are weird. I really don't want to think about what quarks are or what they have the potential of doing. The problem with the second is if it's the midpoint of all this fission and fusion, would its nucleons not really small and not have the potential to pull things that tightly? I mean, you'd expect a magnet to pull electrons and everything, but, despite popular opinion, magnets push electrons. That's why you can induce voltage in a plain wire. So if the forces are repelling, why do magnets attract? Why?! I have no idea and it's going to bug the hell out of me till I figure it out.
