The apocalypse

There is a picture of my ass on facebook.
The world as we know it is ending.

I'm going slightly mad

The whole academic thing has been driving me up a wall...there's just too much to worry about.
But I have a break, and I have someone who makes me feel sane...it's a wonderful thing.

Luther is planning a new campaign that, while using the CP2020 ruleset, is modern day. I have a really neat character written up, and am looking forward to some sweet awesomeness when we get back from break.

I love this group so much

Dirk: You’re just going to drop me off here?

Don Giovanni: Yes!

Dirk: Are you going to land first?

Don Giovanni: No!

Man, this session is going amazingly.

Brilliant!

My ability to get AEPi a Greek Sing partner confirms that I am just totally awesome.
Things go well this week, despite elections not turning out as I'd like them. One small thing, but everything else has been completely amazing.
Word.

Well now

Well, it's official. I am no longer single.
I feel like everything is moving forward. Even if it's just the beginning of sophomore year, all that's put before me is the future...whether it's next semester, or grad school, or life.

And it's a wonderful thing when everything looks so rosy.
Elections tonight. Wish me luck in my quest to conquer Eboard.

Aaron's Top Five Metal Albums (of the moment)

In no real order:

Hellbilly Deluxe - Rob Zombie
It's catchy, hard, and brilliant.
Adultery - Dog Fashion Disco
This band falls under the genre auspices I like to call "Death Fusion". That alone is a reason to listen to it.
Pure Rock Fury - Clutch
The Elephant Riders - Clutch
Both of these albums are, in my opinion, Clutch at their finest. Headnodding, bluesy, hard-ass metal.
Senile Animal - The Melvins
Their newest, and crazy. Totally crazy, but still listenable and awesome.

Honorable Mention:
Chemlab
They aren't metal per se, but are great industrial rock. I recommend both "Scornocopia" from Oxidizer, and "Latex" from East Side Militia.
Also...
Terminal Choice did a cover of "I Ran" on their album New Born Enemies. Best/Worst industrial metal cover of an 80s pop song ever.

"The only good distraction is to kick ass at life"

I've been somewhat persistent since, well, forever.
The idea of stopping something because of its difficulty is foreign to me, and if you get me into it, I'm going to damn well see it through to the bitter end. I feel this is a good philosophy to have in life, as long as you can see when something is hurting rather than helping.
But I'm never going to give up on anything. Not on my dreams, not on my responsibilities, and not on myself.
But especially not on my friends.
It's not that I can't be convinced, but if I think something is truly for the better, I'm going to have to try it before being convinced otherwise. I can understand skepticism, and I'm aware that there are situations where I wouldn't really know.
But I don't believe this is one of those. I believe that in light of a previous bad situation, we can spin things around so fucking hard that everything on the other end will be better than it was before any of this unpleasantness ever happened!
*breathe*
I'm a little emotionally caught up in things. It may take a while.
