Quick update and two funny pics. And madlove.

Here's an interesting article on Facebook users and narcissism.

The researchers found that the number of friends and wall posts (messages left by the owner of the profile or friends) that a person had on their profile correlated with how narcissistic they were. Study leader Laura Buffardi, a Ph.D. student in psychology, said this is similar to how narcissists behave in the real world, forming numerous but shallow relationships with others...

"We found that people who are narcissistic use Facebook in a self-promoting way that can be identified by others," Buffardi said....

"Nearly all of our students use Facebook, and it seems to be a normal part of people's social interactions," Campbell said. "It just turns out that narcissists are using Facebook the same way they use their other relationships - for self-promotion with an emphasis on quantity over quality."


So, err... then it's a good thing that I have three friends and about ten comments? O_o Heh.

In other news, I am home (obviously,) unpacked, have returned to Kung Fu (owie,) and am back to stressing about the coming election and the state of the country. I feel like I missed everything, eveyr bit of news while I was in Disneyworld. A literal vacation from reality, that one was.

And apparently I have to go to the doctor for a wellness checkup before I apply to college,a nd retrieve my immunization records from my alma mater. I did find my college transcript. (The grades read like a long winded sheep. BAAAAAAAAAAAA. I had a really good average. ;D ) I am shy one lousy bioscience credit bu7t I can make that up at the grad school.

Grad school? Did I just say that about myself?

Oh my god. I have to get bookbags, pencils, pens, notebooks with dividers and junk like that.

WTF?

WTF?

WTMFF?

Currently I am trying to sort pictures from the Disney trip and see which ones to post.

I am also re-reading one of my most fanpoodliest favoritist book, Capt. Hook: The Adventures of a Notorious Youth. Apparently the sequel comes out this fall. I have been waiting for three years. Isn't that WAY too long to wait for a meffing sequel? GOD. Every once in a while I revisit my Captain Hook madlove.

I miss my SB and my hyenarave. JO-CHAN. See if I can't pick you up after school next Friday and drop you off Saturday night. Iron Man comes out on DVD Tuesday. I'm thinking: visiting Boychild, ice cream, FFVII, Iron Man at AJ and UJ's later. You say?

Meanwhile, here are two pics from the latest trip:

THE BRUSH OF SCRATCH BACK.


They never specify where.

several things

1.) That Hook book looks awesome. (Whoa rhymetastic.) I have to put it on my to-read list!

2.) I need a "Please Insert Your Finger" icon, i think.

3.) I hear you on the "grad school" thing. It feels so weird, and also exciting!

1.) Oh man. If you love or fangirl or like Captain Hook in any way, it is pure gratuitous service and joy. I hated what Disney did and I hate watered down, buffoonish Jas. Hook. I like him deep and brave and nasty and tragic. :D

2.) I was considering it. It was also worth it for the look I got when I snapped that pic.

3.) It's exciting now, but I will be peeing a constant stream when the time comes. Err, in a good way.

Make sure you hydrate. That sounds like it could be dangerous. :D
