The Gorn-Dee-Kerd Chronicles

Well, time's flew past, hasn't it? This is my last week of classes. After this, it's 2 weeks of study time, then 3 finals in quick succession. Oh yes, I only have 3 this term. Yippy-Hooray-ness and chocolate guns to all for happy munching onto.

But what happens after that? As always, I've decided to take the summer off and relax after the gruelling chore of commuting to and from UBC everyday. Oh, and learning, too. For 4 months, what will happen? Actually, the question should be: what won't happen? The answer: nothing. Wait...let me just work that out.

Uh...nothing, won't happen...nothing will happen...shoot! I gots it backwards!

Yes, that's right, everything will not happen. Yeah, that's what it is. So, like every other summer, I'm planning to do nothing, except for MAYBE another family trip. Maybe. But really, this big doing of nothing basically amounts to one thing: I'm going to be in front of the computer for a long time and I will interact, face to face, with no one. Hence the title of this entry. Once more, I will isolate myself from society and participate in the much-more-exciting world of the Internet.

However, perhaps it's time to change that? Almost always, around late July, there will happen to be one night where I'm sitting in front of the computer (of course) and realize just how cut off I am from the rest of society. My thoughts would drift back to the good times I've had with my friends, both old and new, and I would get depressed. Then I'll discover something cool on the Internet and the whole cycle begins again. Would it be wise this year to do something else? To participate more? To go to more parties and/or other social functions?

Nope. Not my kind of thing, and I doubt it ever will. I've developed the horrible problem of getting-extremely-nauseous-before-any-important-event, which plagues me to this day. You name anything out of the ordinary, and chances are I'll be nauseous before doing it or, more likely, I won't be doing it at all.

So, it seems the cycle will begin again; and 3 months from now, that night in July will come, and nothing will change.

Switiching gears for a moment, go here:

If you like music, then you should read this. It's an interview with the masterminds behind the soundtrack of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Even if you don't know much about the show, you can still appreciate the music by simply listening to the samples provided within that link. Come on, take a chance and waste a few minutes of your life on this. It won't hurt, and then you'll know how I feel.
