Four, Five, Six

Now, FreeCiv. ("Cause civilization should be free!") Funny game mainly because of how absurd it is. I can be "Chinese" and still build the Pyramids and Hanging Gardens in the space of 20 years if i have about 2000 gold. Where 2000 gold = 2,000,000 in 3500BC or something like that. Which is ridiculous. And i never knew the Pyramids were massive Granaries! Or that THE Lighthouse makes your ships move faster; even when invading people.

Secondly, when i talk about nostalgia, it's usually interwoven with regret. As with a lot of things. It's only a few days later that i realise that the "problem" isn't a big one, anyway. So it's maddening. But if i made a graph of how many people i've made enemies and how many friends, it'd go something like this. y = 2^x. Where y = friends, x = enemies. Which is probably a lot, and the graph not so important/accurate, but i have made an enemy of a Bunnings employee once, and i hope to never see him ever again because of how mean he was to me. It's like i'm not a "buyer" in their store. Yes, i'm a "little young" but it doesn't mean i can examine how chair feet attach things are made. (For the record, i was unscrewing a leg and checking the parts and he came up to me with another customer while i was screwing it back together and putting it back. The leg was out of it's plastic when i picked it up, but he was like "Don't take things out of the plastic. See, if this lady *points to person he's helping* wanted this, she wouldn't buy it no?" in an angry tone. Then ensued an arguement between me and my father to which the lady came to my defence. Also, when asked to apologise, he mock apologised and didn't care about how many people he was offending. Including the lady.) And that's why i never want to see him again. Ever.

Additionally, i hate it when people apologise when they don't mean it. If you don't mean it, don't bother.

Thirdly, optometrist, fixed glasses frame, resolved to take frequent breaks, wear glasses less except in classes, besides PE and got a new set of glasses "ordered". Which is a bit =/ to me, because they're expensive. ~$300 at last guesstimate. Which is a heck of a lot. =/

Did i tell you that i like Red Bean Buns? Cause i do. It's like taro, but cooler. And Beans, not potato style. Reminds me of Honshu; which beside being a Japanese Island, is the pinyin for some kind of Potato thing. I THINK it's sweet potato. Anyway, you steam it and eat it in place of rice. Sweet! Upon googling, i think it's sweet potato. And taro's purple. For those who don't like taro; Shame. Okay maybe not, but it's really really really good. Like Marshmallows.

Funny that i remember that Altruism is a defence mechanism (i think). It helps people cope with their situation; probably through mirror neurons and empathy. You help someone else: you feel better. Happens all the time. Now, to apply it to modern life; how much altruism is there? And does a life of kindness redeem a life of wickedness? Or perhaps, one kind act in a chain of events ends it all? How far does it move before it stops?

Pharmacist/Chemist/Druggist (If you're American) doesn't sound too bad, i'm just not sure about the stuff they sell at the front of their stores. Like...Hair color and umbrellas. Really, if i wanted those, a supermarket has them. Still, good money for easy-ish work. Fine by me.

As much as i like long posts, sometimes my ramblings look like walls of text. I do hope you can skim-read like i do; mainly because i have topic sentences, and this IS practice of expression for essays and whatnot. Speaking of which, an analysis which was supposed to be an analysis turned into an essay for me because i wasn't sure, and couldn't care less. Also, it got pushed back a week, much to my ire; because i printed it out. Now i have ~$3 on my card for printing and might have to stock it up, even more to my annoyance because i don't particularly like those office ladies and am a bit edgy around them.

Hoping you can finish English/History/Reminiscing soon. History sounds boring and anger-inducing and putting emotion into responses. Which i love doing for Science, because nothing says "hello!" like a big attack on something with gusto and long words.
