Cyrusse is alive! Or at least undead.


See? Undead. Har har.

Well, since I couldn't even find a post made by me, I figure it's been a while. In my absence I've been learning that being the unofficial TA for a class is not all cookies and rainbows and ponies (it totally should be!) and attempting to deal with grad school admission stuff. I've discovered that trying to write essays about myself makes me go a little braindead. And Berkeley is rude and they want a statement of purpose and a "personal history statement," and I'm still not exactly sure what needs to go in which. If anyone can think of any convincing reasons that the public policy department should accept me or ways to express my general coolness, please let me know. It's a pain in the ass... Maybe I'll post my essays when they take on some sort of cohesive form.

Oh, and I've been making wingalings for my Halloween costume. Don't ask me what the rest of it is. Something with bat/dragon wingalings, that's all I know.

You may be alive, but the blog is dead. The services will be held at 12:00pm on Sunday. Please bring a cup.

Why do you want to enter your particular graduate program? That personal statement is your opportunity to express how since you were in the womb you wanted be in ____ program.

or an explination of how you were confused and saw the light that _____ program was your true calling...

its sad but true, and the better story you can spin the better off you are.

Ummm...who gave Def the sole authority to determine when the services for the Blog will be held, what if I can't make it?

I blame the economy. It's a cup recession.

It's not dead, it's resting. If you're not careful, it will muscle on up and *boom!* hehe

good luck with essays, sorry work is hard, but thats life, youl deal.

As for WoW I dont know if Im going to play much more, sort of regretting the fact that I paid this month, I could really use those 15 bucks right now!

The thing is is that we always play around 9 or so, and these days I have things I should be doing at that time, reading for class, resting before bed. Im exhausted and video games offer no rejuvenation. In fact, when my mind is zooming at a million miles a minute the last thing I want to do these days is bombard it with electric stimuli. I have enough on my plate as it is to be adding on additional layers with Blackelk. Maybe if we played on Sundays or something, and early, like around 1 or 2 pm. I could be willing. But Fridays and Saturdays are days where I like to go out, shoot pool, go bowling, drinking at bars, dancing at clubs, I just dont see myself giving up any of that to sit in front of a flat screen and click buttons. I love you guys to death, but WoW can kiss my ass right now. I need to write, to read, to breathe, to live! Virtual mediums have served their function back when I wanted to escape my life, now I realize, there is no escape, and the clock is ticking, when its all said and done I want to be remembered for my accomplishments in the physical, not the virtual, that only a select few can truly benefit from. It just seems so silly to me. I mean this life is "the game" ya know? This ego, this consciousness needs leveling up, needs polishing and new gear, needs to get to "Outlands" before the main frame on this "server" (Earth) is reformatted. I hope you all understand.
