The Way Things Work: Memory

I wrote a very long and bitchy post, and I really didn't need to. So I deleted it.

I guess what I figured out through all that ranting is that you have to accept that no matter how much time has past, no matter who you're with now, and no matter the previous circumstances, some people you will always care about. There will always be circumstances where you'll hear about their travails, and your first instinct will be to want to teleport over state lines and give them a big hug.

I feel very weird about this, mostly because of my current relationship. That being said, empathy is not cheating, and I should feel good about maintaining these friendships with people from home.

On a note that's much more honest to myself: (Damn hormones. Fucking sex drive. Grrrr. Fucking thinking with the lower brain...damn can't keep a single fucking thought in my head clean anymore)

Italics make everything better, seriously.

INFANTRY

Back towards the end of middle school, I found this cool online game called Infantry. It was free to play, involved a lot of shooting people, tons of weapons and persistent character buildup as well. When I got back to it in high school, it was sadly switched to a pay model. Well, I found out that Sony, the owners of Infantry, have made it free to play once again. I installed the game, logged on, and was overjoyed to find a CTF server with over 100 people on it. So cool, I recommend you all play it. It's free, not bandwidth intensive (I played it in 7th grade on 56k), and really damn fun.
