The Creator @ UCSD's Facebook.
I guess lemme explain. At every school on Facebook, there is an unfriendable, unsearchable profile account called "The Creator". I think they each have a single friend. But I dunno. Your profile id (in my case, 3305628) is a combination of two things: Your school id (33) and your actual id - 05628, which corresponds to the order you signed up. I was the 5628th person to sign up for UCSD's facebook. And, basically, the Creator is the coolest thing about facebook. hehe

| Just so you know, I'll be blogging on http://www.thrdcross.com from now on. I did a humungous update on my editor and like it better than Xanga, minus a few things. But I can live w/o those. K. That's it. Bye bye! (Pretty soon, I'll start working on & finish coding something that posts to my site, livejournal and Xanga all at once. Fun times 
Oh, and it might look a bit funky in Internet Explorer >.< | | |
| wtf.. There are 9 8 planets in the solar system. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060824/NEWS99/60824008/1009/NEWS07 . No joke. There are seriously 8 planets in the solar system now, officially. Imagine the cost of replacing textbooks >.< | | |
| So this is almost entirely too embarassing for me. But I shall say it anyways. I was with my uncle, in his delivery truck, coming back from a delivery, listening to the radio. And a song comes on. I'm sure you can guess what it was. Anyways, I'm thinking, "man, it'd be great to be in concert with these guys..." and, stupid me, didn't realize who the song was by or even what it was called. then the radio announcer guy was like, "That was Mr. Brightside by the Killers." And so of course, I'm like, "D'oh."
haha.
For those of you who don't know, my frosh year I went to a Killers concert - and left early. For several reasons. One, because there was oh-so-much the smell of canabis. Two, I didn't really know anything by the Killers. Three, we weren't on the floor. haha. I like to be up front by the band, as close as I can be. Mostly because it's a lot of fun up there, because the people are crazy :)

| Sorry. But there are a few things that get my goad. Like how misunderstandings of what something truly is causes us to rail against God or (this is the touchier one) the Catholic Church.
I'll go with the one people are more likely to agree with on first.
We misunderstand death to be the greatest tragedy of them all. Poverty, suffering, all of that along with death - the worst trappings a man (or woman) could fall into. And therefore, whenever there's a tsunami or some other natural, we rail at God, "How could you let this great tragedy happen? HOW! Aren't you supposed to be good?" Yet it's our own ignorance and misunderstanding that's making us see it as a tragedy. I think the tragedy is that we fear death, rather than embrace it *shrug* (NO! I'm not suicidal. Just, peaceful regarding my death).
The second concerns female ordination. I think we tend to think of priests or bishops, etc. as people with status. The thing is, even though some people (including those clergy) will take their positions as being a symbol of status: it's not. It's a sign of poverty, sinfulness and slavery. That's what it means to be a priest. A slave. A willing slave. Sacrificial in all things. I think the moment we get that though our thick skulls is the moment we appreciate all that the clergy does. Sorry for the directedness towards Catholics (because there are oh-so-many of them that read this ;)), but I really do feel strongly about these two issues, and probably not something i'm really gonna be able to give any ground on. haha.
Pax Domini
