Dido - White Flag
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
I'll tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
You are Purple.
Purple is the color of royalty, spirituality and

Anyways, i'll probably have Anthony as well, and umm i need to call Jon-Eric and Mcgyver. Thats it!

As for today, I when i woke up, i was alll sore! All that skating was fun. But yeah, i woke up pretty early (at 8 AM), got on the comptuer (as usual) and chatted and did stuff. Ate breakfast and everything at the computer. but woooohoo! Desert Combat .6 is out! But while i waited for my download spot on fileplnaet and while i did that, i started trying out Space Empires IV in the background just like the good days with kazaa/hotline client and space empries III! So fun! I got so into it, that i lost track of time, and soon it was 7 hours later and 4 PM! Crazy. Then after that i installed the new DC .6 patch and w00t! The new choppers and the Nimitz class carrier is TOTALLY AWESOME! But i seem to have some bugs in teh catalyst 3.10 drivers. Bah. But i finally got that working. But around 4, i wanted to go to the church thing but i couldn't cause my siblings didn't want me to go to a church thing. They wouldn't help me do that. But yeah, so after some fixing my computers and stuff, i got call from Pastor Ewin! And yay! he gave me a ride! even though i missed most of it, it was still fun! Ahhahaha, the CRASH video was soooooo hiliarious! i wish you all could've seen it! I was laughing so hard! After that i went home and yeah, i'm here now. Thats what's been going on. Dum de dum dum. Ehehe, i cant' wait till i get the template finished! Its gonna be a lot of work. And i seme to be very busy this christmas break so i hope i'll have it done! Till then toodles!

Which Lord of the Rings character and personality problem are you?

Also went to martino's house to install his brand spanking new Athlon XP2500+ barton! w00t w00t! Unfortuatnely its of the new model where they added another layer to lock out the mutlipier! So no mad overclocking goodness :-(. Sadness. but then he doesn't like overclocking anyways. Still he can't do anything less than 11x multiplier. HAd some fun with condition zero at his house as well. BTW he's also selling a AXP 2000+ Palomino core for 30 bucks if anyone's interested. Unless he's already found a buyer. either way, its cool.
Bleh, i tried lock-on today...SUPER SySTEM INTENSIVE! Dang, this game is sooo frickin intensive! 20 fps at 1280x960 with most details set to high. it drops to 2 when i fly past a chopper! craptacular! this game needs serious patching.

oh, and Fallout 3!!! got canceled :-(...but here are the uncompleted screenies.
Sadness....:-(
on another note...i'm certain for thsoe of you who read this, have also playe Desert Combat (or at least seen me play it). Ahhh the Sukhoi 25 Frogfoot....powerful it is, but its HUD-less in life! Very crude to fly even though in the game it performs much better than the similiar A-10.
here's a pic of the Su-25 cockpit. Just like the ruskies to build a great flying machine only to make it extremely difficult on the pilot to actually fly the thing.
Su-25 cockpit
and here's a pic of what Su-25 Frogfoot looks like in case you have no idea what i'm talking about..:-D
Frogfoot
and here's a A-10 Cockpit in comparison, with Huds and cockpit panels (which is especially necessary due to the advanced AGM missles that it sues such as the AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-62 Walleye)

and just for kicks, i found the F-15 cockpit to just plain out look awesome.

Heh, when I think of what I have, i think i have basically everything material thing I really want. A good computer, and basically, i think thats all i really want in material form (unless you also say decent clothing, and MP3 player and blah blah). Well I'd also LIKE a car but i don't really WANT one. I would like a car so i wouldn't be such a burden to people who does give me a ride. But yeah, i don't expect taht for years. I have some money, but i realize the only reason i have it is because i haven't been going out much lately. I want to do something this break, like the movies or something. Soo, those of you who live by me, lets go out to the movies! Dunno what to watch tho. Also, another thing, for those of you who I do hang out with regularly, WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING TO DO OTHER THAN JUST HANG OUT AT SOMEONE'S HOUSE OR AT SOME FOOD PLACE! Bleh. Maybe one more time at starbucks, i haven't had a frappucino for a while. That reminds me, watching TV commercials, I ono, i seem to be analyzing them a lot lately. Well, more of like today. Okay, maybe one or 2. Alrite FINE, that new Sony PS2 commercial. hehe i ono i just thought it was a really good commercial. Still wont' make me buy a console again but still a good one. I just looked at a few other commercials and was thinking of their marketing tactics and how its tricking us. Anyone else do that? Strange stuff nowadays.
Blah, i want to say more but wasting valuable homework slacking time! As well as other things. ANYWAyS. BLAH.
Well jessie asked me to take this...even though i've already taken it like THREE TIMES. Hmm a little different this time.

bleh....i ono, i need to work on a few things on my personality i still find very wrong. I also need to figure out some other things but yeah. Played a lot of CS and DC yesterday and Friday. Grrr, i missed CRASH. Didn't have a ride, oh well. I think i know what i'm gonna get my secret santa, hehee. I need to do some christmas shopping over this week. I also still need to get that dang haircut. Soooo long. OH well. I'll get it b4 Uniform Day. Thats all i guess. Nothing of interesting note really happening.
though, i recall writing this poem last year for Advanced Composition & Novel. I seem to like it a lot right now cause it seems to feel like my current feelings. Anyways, here it is.
Dark Void
dark is always lurking
around corners
in closets
creeping slowly behind ears
like a single group of players
football players in the field
practicing everyday
all of them happily
or so many of them had thought they were happy
few are weak
few are in the void
dark void they are in
dark voids are everywhere and they are square and sharp
hiding
watching
then leaping to action
with your heart in shock
a needle in the veins
a thought
the dark void covertly creeping
through the minds along shattered dreams
as you did to I
how the void consumes and a hungry appetite it has
another victim it has taken
how many more is required
the greens of night, the blacks of day
the green eyed monster always stares while watching and waiting
- until the victim screams why oh why must the world be mean being invisible while being so dreadful makes it unfair
it uses its power to:
either consume ones heart
void like
or fills ones mind with bad ideas
bring death to heart
mind to tormented living
evisage ones friend
in the end
all normal friends are haloed green
green for envious wonder and wanting
a better life
but no real person is normal at eyes of themselves
remembering once long ago
no wanting
it is better to be myself than to be tormented in the living hell
the dark void makes one work
it fuels our work
it drives our mind
it mkaes us wonder
it forces our loyalty
it makes people and breaks them
it is people
worked long and worked hard to live the otmrent of many years only to find its better to be oneself
yearning for everything
love/want/need/life
the void is life
learn it and live it

Athena
?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla
hmm occult and romantic...
As if you were born into a world of tears, you
always tend to look at the darker things in
life. Inside you crave attention yet push away
society, and you're a hopeless romantic. Drawn
to things like the occult and mysteries, you
spend your time daydreaming of "What
If's".

I'm a individual...
You are an individual,go you! You think for
yourself and don't need to wear tight shirts
and short skirts to get the attention you
want.You are somewhat depressed but try not to
let people know.That where the cutting comes
in.You're not one of thoes people who need to
be labeled and you dont have a group.You're
just you.By the way,please vote for my quiz!
What clique do you belong in?
brought to you by Quizilla
i got these two things...bleh....
Your soul is bound to the Solitary Rose: The
Alone.
"When I wake up alone, the shades are still
drawn on the cold window pane so they cast
their lines on my bed and lines on my
face."
The Solitary Rose is associated with loneliness,
melancholy, and patience. It is governed by
the goddess Merope and its sign is The Sword,
or Unrequited Love.
As a Solitary Rose, you may be summed up as a
hopeless romantic. You desire love and have so
much love to give, but thing just never seem to
work out the way you want them to. In life,
you can be very optomistic, even when things
are gray and nothing works out to your
expectations.
What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?
brought to you by Quizilla
Your soul is bound to the White Rose: The
Pure.
"I've been waiting in the dark for a long
time, shining my beacon of hope through the
shadow. If you see me, don't you hide your
eyes from me."
The White Rose is associated with purity, honor,
and chastity. It is governed by the goddess
Artemis and its sign is The Cross, or Agape.
As a White Rose, you are a person of your word.
You may have a strong moral code, but
regardless of your virtue, you always stay true
to yourself. To you, love is the most pure of
emotional forms and it's just a matter of
waiting for it to bless you. Some people may
say you are too idealistic, but it's only
because you don't want to mess things up.

You're a very gentle, kind, and caring individual.
You truely care about people and are generally
