'Brevity is the soul of wit.'

Neither Dreamwidth or LJ is actually letting me read entries "from the past". It makes checking this site not as worthwhile after a certain point. If I don't respond, well, I've got a few good reasons behind it.  C'est la vie.

I'm finding it strangely hilarious that my region-specific LJ  page is directed at a locale in which I haven't lived for a couple of years. Hm.

But I digress. I went off of skuffle's lead and made my own Johari window. From what I understand, you select a few words that you think describes the person and see if their self-assessment and yours coincide. No matter what -- DO IT. It'll be entertaining.

I can, however, summarize it in the following ways:

Academia! (Painful amounts of academia!) Wisdom teeth! Graduation! (OH MY GOD, WTF?!) WANDERED ALL OVER THE WORLD! And then... I started work and proceeded to become an adult! Kinda.

Glad to say, I'm beyond addicted to what I do. Seriously. I'm pulling three-hour-longer-days than what I'm getting paid for, at least, and I'm doing it happily.

Man, if everything turned out to be that nice, it'd be awesome.




However, like a champ, I remembered this oldie-but-a-goodie. Makes me remember second-year orgo and the 'fun and joy' that came with that.

And then decided to re-watch the video with laronmi, mondaymorning5 and tea_destroyer. :D

I decided to try this funky little applet on six different posts from my travel Posterous.  My results:

If you haven't read this already, read it. That's all.

Happy New Year 2010, folks!

I hate to sound like a catty, passive-aggressive little bitch.

But I'm still rather bitter/pissed at quite a lot of people. You can guess who you are. It's just -- I've put up with way too much over the last quarter to actually give a shit about helping you out when you haven't even been civil towards not only me, but towards the other people that I know. I may not look like it, but I will judge you. Being an asshole to anyone who you perceive is "lower" than you will not make me like you more. Acting as if the time you spend around me is a waste of time does stick in my brain; it only serves to make me more aggravated. Not responding to my emails when I send out invitations to things, followed by random requests to pick my brain for information is not appreciated. Being an asshole and then saying, "oh yeah, at least I'm talking to you, isn't that what you wanted?" is DEFINITELY not appreciated. No matter how appreciative I am of what you've done for me, for yourself, or for all of society, I still hate being treated like dirt, and I know that others feel like that too. Think about the first article of the UDHR, people.

After all, I'm only as nice and reasonable as I need to be. I love my family and my friends, but please note: if you take advantage of me, if you promise to do something but never follow through, if you are in general a self-serving little prick, you will pay. I like to mend bridges and break walls, but I'm willing to stop such efforts if you are not willing to put in the effort as well.

I know, this is a public entry. I made it that way for a reason.

Now, onto the rest of my exams. Leave off, world, and I'll be back soon.

(As a final note - to those souls whom I made plans with and then ditched because of my week-long hospitalization, I'm truly sorry. I didn't want it to end up that way. I'll try to make it up to you when I can.)
