Delusion-Elle

Right, so I've got to be heading off to bed soon, but I just have a few things to say. They're kind of random thoughts from throughout today. So enjoy.

• To everyone in Vancouver who is scared about the big earthquake that has been long overdue for us: calm down. Life is too short. I'm not saying "don't be prepared", but preparation-wise, you've been through drills in elementary school and high school. Yeah, those drills aren't as serious and in-depth as the ones that the Japanese stage every so often, but for the amount of quakes we get and the magnitudes of the ones we *do* get, what you know is all that you need to know. Because really, how else can you prepare for an earthquake? The Japanese are probably the most prepared on the entire planet for earthquakes and yet they were still devastated by that 8.9 one. I understand the fear and the uncertainty, but that possibility is just something that comes with living in this beautiful city. People are well aware of the fact that we're on a fault line, and yet people are still coming. In hordes. The last thing I'm going to say about this is that if you honestly are terrified of the possibility of a major earthquake on the west coast, then move back east. Move to Toronto. Sure, snowstorms are bad, you argue. But really, what's more devastating -- a snowstorm or an earthquake? Everywhere -- and I mean EVERYWHERE -- has its pros and cons. It's just a matter of what you're willing to put up with and what you can deal with. /rant IDK, I admit that I worried about the earthquake possibilities, too. But it was like I had an epiphany the next day about how little worrying over it will do. Live in the now.
• I've probably said this before, but I'll say it again: I have no respect for people who constantly need to be in a relationship. I don't know what sickens me more, that or how some people think that having a significant other = only way of having a social life. Yes, what people say irks me. I just do a good job of not showing it in front of them.
• Classes are done in a week and a half! Yay! Lookin' forward to final exams! After an entire term of waking up at 6AM and getting home at 5PM practically every day makes me thankful that the period during which we have finals doesn't require a 6AM wake-up every darn day.
• I realized that the only programs I can think of writing for fun are ones to help cure my indecision. Okay, maybe not "cure" per se, but help me deal with. An idea is forming slowly but surely. If I can get it done (it'd be so easy to implement, I swear to God), that'd be a nice little thing to put on my resume especially in terms of co-op. And I could make it into an app that anyone/everyone could use. :D Though it'd only be useful for indecisive people (which seems like a lot, actually).
• I can't believe that my variations actually sound ... good. The little 12-measure phrase as a whole doesn't sound completed, but my prof said to end on a half cadence so there you go. Half cadence = create tension & no sense of completion.
• I have no time to watch Doctor Who T___T
• I have 2 assignments due at the end of term and 2 quizzes in the meantime.
• My comp sci friends are really square and boring. But they are my kind of people (but much smarter).
• This unit of music history class is on Mozart. So excited!
• I think that the nicest/most meaningful compliment I've ever received was about how my important my opinion was on a matter that was very very very important (as far as I'm concerned, it was). :) I've realized that those are the kinds of compliments that matter and stay with me.
• I am liking this new Within Temptation album more and more.
• OMFG MCR CONCERT ON SATURDAY. THE REUNION OF MY CHEMICAL BROMANCE ON SUNDAY. OH HO HO THIS WEEKEND WILL BE SICK. And full of chemicals. *flails*
