I Need To Stop Finding Awesome Music Before My Head Explodes. Also, In Case You Haven't Noticed, I Really
I need to stop finding awesome music before my head explodes. Also, in case you haven't noticed, I really like electric guitar.

Finals
I haven't left... Life happened.
First up, finals are coming soon. So I've had to prepare for that.
Secondly, I forgot I had this blog half the time. I was working the other half.
Third, I should warn my tiny following: To me this blog is almost like a journal. Sort of. The problem is, I've tried keeping a journal before, and it didn't quite work out. Each of the five or so times I tried, I ended within a month. Except one, which I managed to keep up for four months. Either way, things don't look good for me keeping this up.
I like to think I can change that. At some point, I will figure this out.
Loljk: A new concept
In my day-to-day proceedings throughout my lifetime, I have noticed some peculiarities about the way, during usual cafeteria table conversation, that "logic" can be used to prove a sarcastic point or mess with people's heads. It has almost turned into an art of sorts, much like standard rhetoric has, except that this rhetoric is used in a joking manner. Using colloquial terms of my day, I have devised a name for this new art: Loljk.
Don't leave yet, I have my reasons.
I chose "loljk" because the terms "lol" and "jk" are most often used after such discourse, and because it sounds like "logic" when pronounced correctly. By observing the phenomenon carefully, I have also derived a definition for it:
Loljk is the attempted use of flawed logic wherein there are an unusually large number of fallacies (e.g. post hoc, ergo propter hoc), untruthful statements (especially those that almost pass as truth), or things that are just plain wrong. It is used extensively when making jokes or trolling, and is often used by people who have no idea what they're doing, occasionally stretching to even the smartest of us when used without thinking first. It is related to, and in most cases synonymous with, troll logic.
The uses of loljk are many and varied. Its main use is to prove untruthful statements, useful for creating nonsense, deriving unrelated objects, recreating history, proving the unprovable, or making one look smart when one has no idea what one is doing. Other uses include humor, getting out of sticky situations, horrifying teachers, or earning blank stares from one's friends. It is known to be extremely useful on tests.
Spread the word. Hopefully awareness will breed understanding, and understanding will breed new talent in this new art of loljk. Rhetoric has successfully evolved for a new generation.
Dude, how are you so awesome? Seriously, bro!
WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY FRONT LAWN.
Am I going to get strange, general questions throughout the life of my blog? Seriously, how the heck do I answer this? (And who thinks I'm that awesome? I have a feeling it's someone here at school.)
I don't think I'm that awesome. Am I really that awesome? Am I just modest or something? I just make things. Maybe they're awesome things, sure, but other people put much more time, thought and work into their stuff than I do. I just throw together whatever looks nice (comparatively speaking).
Whenever I do ANYthing, not just art, I play it by ear. Writing, music, socializing, physics... I just do what looks right. Apparently I do darn well to get a question like this, but I don't feel like I should.
And WHO THE HECK ARE YOU? It's bugging me.
*pokes* When is your next break? Your updates are always interesting.
Spring Break began twelve hours ago.
However, my teachers have no concept of the word "break," and on top of that, I have unkempt homework to make up (that's the short answer, anyway). I just finished a semester-long term paper that's supposed to be due today, for instance. I'll still be updating, just not as frequently as you seem to ask for.
You know when I'll get a good break? After finals, in May. When I don't actually have any work left to do.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?
Um... what?
I assume this is a question that every "new" blog gets asked (it is tumblrbot, after all), but... um... how the heck do I answer this?
Inanimate objects? It's a very broad category. I'm not very good at answering general questions, because that means that there's a lot of factors to consider. For one, I interact with a good many inanimate objects on a daily basis. Each of those has different functions that I can't compare to each other.
I guess I could say my 3DS, but it's more animate than some of the people I deal with. I also happen to like doors - which is especially random for me - as these objects have very useful functions as both portals and barricades. I could even say my laptop, but it's sort of falling apart on me and I need a new one.
Something I'm sure that tumblrbot would appreciate, though, is that most of the objects that come to mind when this question is asked are electronics. And that's probably my best answer.
