That puppy, I did on a Sunday night, with it due on Monday morning second period. Just got the mark back the other day, and it was 85%! It was a comparitive essay on two works (in my case LOTR by Tolkien, and A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright) and how their subject matter, mainly the enviromental impact of humanity, was important, how it compared, blah blah blah. I'll attach a copy of it, actually - have a read, it's only 6 pages, double spaced; I actually found this was a very interesting project)Other than that, my latest girlfriend broke up with me on my birthday, which sucked, but an ex stayed the night and good times abounded (nothing full-blown per se, but <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> ) so that day was a bit bi-polar. I'm still <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />ed up over everything that happened there (my gf cheated on me, and then broke up with me, and the ex isn't talking to me right now, despite us being really good friends) but I think things will sort themselves out. We'll see <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I need to get my <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> together for Early Admission for Uni, which ends March 1st. That's pretty intimidating, but I'll get my <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> together - hell, that English paper mentioned above shows me what I can do when pushed.My dad and I are slowly reconciling. I moved out of his house 3 years ago, when I was 16, and into my grandmothers (my dad was a an abusive parent, and I hated him for a long time becasue of that). But, things are getting good in the commmunication department. It just kinda sucks that we had to waste 3 years to get to a normal father-son relationship, but I think that there is some hope here, and since my mom is dead, I really want to hold on to my heritage; it's important on a level which is more important than our feud. But, as with anything, we'll see.Right now though, I am just trying to stay out of everything. I'm sick of dealing with <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />, of conforming to womans' standards (no offense to any ladies out there, it's just something I'm going through right now with dating) and just everything. There is this one girl who'd I'd die to date, but she's taken right; heck she's getting an apartment with her boyfriend next year, so for now I'll just be a good friend to her, and keep on doing what I'm doing. Infact, that's what I'm trying to do in a oot of cases, just be a good friend to people and be there for them. It's fairly rewarding.For my band, I'm buying my mic ASAP, as soon as I can cash my paycheck tomorrow, and things are looking up. There's a guy from my work, Jeff (this is THE MAN who got me into death, thrash, black, power and symphonic metal), who plays bass and guitar, and since we need a bass player, might jam with the band and even become a full-time member once things get rolling. Ben and Derek are my other two friends and fellow co-founders of the band, and Ben has a cousin, Josh, who plays drums. Josh doesn't have a st right now, but he is one of the top drummers from the highschool of 1200+ where I went to, which is saying something. So, the foundation is laid; although the name A Slave Unchained might not be permanent, as me, Ben and Dirk (as we call him) think we can better than that.Yeah, so is there a consensus on whether I should start blogging, or what? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />cheers,--N</blockquote>
