ES Biome Project

Sigh... For the Record...

Initial = ID

E.S.M. = Mitsui

A.L. = Aki

Q.Y. = Sora

P.T. = Yumemi

To whomever is doing interspecific competition... If you can find whomever is doing the food web, and if they are willing to switch with you, go right ahead. The definition of INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION is MEMBERS OF TWO OR MORE SPECIES TRYING TO USE THE SAME LIMITED RESOURCES IN AN ECOSYSTEM. Whereas INTERFERENCE COMPETITION is a SITUATION IN WHICH ONE SPECIES LIMITS THE ACCESS OF ANOTHER SPECIES TO A RESOURCE, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE RESOURCE IS ABUNDANT OR SCARE.

Aki... I will let you slide, just this once, however... You had better get the work done! Our grade depends on this project! Please remember that!

Yes, Q.Y. Your ID here is Sora... And don't you DARE wahtever US, young man! Our grade depends on this project, or are you so eager to get a bad grade?!!! XC

College Applications... Scary...

IT has been a very long day and my family is badgering me about college apps and such. Evidently, they don't trust registering on the internet very much, and I'm expected to bring back home a few applications from the Career Center @ school....

Too badd I'm so nervous about such things, but I do need the applications to get into college...

Listing of colleges I want to Attend:

Dominican University

CalState LA

USC

UCLA

ELAC (A bit on the low scale, but hey! we can't have everything!)

Academy of Art, San Fransisco

UC Riverside (Not going to be easy to get into though, considering my grades and lack of SAT scores...)

I am a total idiot... Too scared to pick up college apps... Feh, coward...

Need scholarships, and grants, and possibly loans in order to get to school, but that's a total other story.

It's getting late, and despite the coffee and nap, I'm tired. See ya!

Mix It Up

Today is also mix it up day. I missed it since I was such a weakling and collapsed. damn it.

So very Tired

I was so tired... The fact that it's that time of the month doesn't help either. In fact, things got so bad, I collapsed in the middle of lunch! I spent the entire fifth period in the nurse's office! How could this have happened? How could I have been so weak!

So damned WEAK!!!

I am so pissed!

I know I am Strange, and I am Proud of it

I am a strange person I always have been. There is TREEsa at LiveJournal who is among some of the first to say so. there is another who said that I am psycho, but that was an annonymous comment.

Frankly, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I can't force anyone to be my friend if they don't want to. The world doesn't work that way, and it is certainly not my preferred modus operandi. If TREEsa wanted me to un-friend her, all she really had to do was ask. But she chose to wait until I introduced myself to her in order to make the request.

I am willing to let her rant and yell at me all she wants tomorrow at mix-it-up day, but I won't go near the music area, not unless it is for lunch or to go home after my shift at the library on Wednesdays.

I may be insane/psycho/weird/unique/odd/schizophrenic, but I'm not entirely heartless. I won't go over if she seriously doesn't want me to. All she really has to do is ask, and I will stay away.

I'm not like other people, I know it. Frankly, I'm not at all insulted by some of the things that people say about me, since some may be truth, and I accept it as a part of who I am. As for the other rumors, well, if it's false, I guess all I can really do is ignore it or smile in amusement, no matter how much it hurts.

TREEsa may not want to see me face to face, but honestly, there is no way she can avoid it. We could possibly see each other every day without fail and would never realize it. It is possible, considering the size of Mark Keppel HS, but not likely. Even if by some strange chance, we managed to avoid meeting each other face to face, we would inevitably meet at graduation.

It would be inevitable that we meet. We cannot avoid each other forever, and we would meet face to face, if only for a few seconds. We are both members of the graduating class of '06 at Mark Keppel after all.

I am rather... upset...

She knew my user name for the LJ, and she could have dropped off a comment requesting me to stop or un-friend her, but she refused. She waited until I introduced myself to really say anything, and frankly, it hurts.

I may sometimes be confused by what I am feeling, and I may consider emotion as a weakness, but I am only human. I may be able to prevent my self from feeling certain emotions, but I can still feel regardless of my ideals or beliefs. I am human, flesh and blood and bone, not stone. I can still feel, even if I wish I could not.

I am not insulted. I'm just... a tad... upset...

But at the same time...

I'm glad...

I'm glad that after a few online encounters, someone could see my uniqueness and comment on it...

I'm glad to know that I'm not just one of hundreds of mass produced humans made up of carbon...

I am not insulted...

I'm just...

A tad...

upset...

Why am I not allowed to change?

All living things change, whether physically or mentally. My mother, is accusing me of stealing her little piggy banks shaped like mickey mouse. So i might have lifted a few dollars from her purse as a child, but it's a phase that some if not all children go through! The one thing i hate most are people who think that a person is not allowed to change...

To pissed to write any more.

Yumemi out.

What are Emtions?

Love Fear Hatred Joy Anger Sorrow Pain Grief Indifference Confusion Nervous Coy Excited Bored Empty Disturbed Tired Shock Illness Love Greed Laziness Inspiration Desire Lust Loneliness Friendship Sadness

All signs of Human Frailty...

Humans are composed mostly of Carbon, composed of acids, bases, and proteins, along with a great many other elements.

But what about emotion?

What is emotion?

Is it the strange emptiness one feels when a dear friends leaves for home after a doy of playing on the computer at you house? Or is emotion merely a useless object that clouds judgement and hinders logical thinking?

What is emotion?

Is it a weakness?

Emotion such as anger causes brash and reckless behavior, causing a person to react without thinking, often times resulting in punishment or injury.

What is emotion?

Is it a strength?

Emotion such as love causes the desire to protect the object or person that is most prescious, even at the cost of your own life. It often ends with victory, the fullfillment of the deepest desires and happiness of the one in question... That is, if one succeeds in their task.

What is emotion?

Emotion is the driving force behind much of humankind's existence, causing society to change and fluctuate.

Without hatred and greed, there would be no wars and the human population would rise infinitly unless some natural cuase steps in to cause a decrease in the population, even thouogh it wouldn't help much in the reducing of the human comsumption of resources.

Without Love, desire, or lust, the population would decrease, without any future generations to continue our existence unless humankind were to reproduce through cloning or with some other technology.

What is emotion?

Emotion is the fluctuation in hormones and brainwaves, sending messeges through the nervous system to different parts of the body, releasing hormones and adreneline, causing the changes in mood and behavior.

What is emotion?

Emotion is the...

Emotion is...

Emotion is FEELING.

What is feeling?

Feeling is...

Emotion is not logical.

Feeling is not logical.

Emotion and feeling are instincts.

What are Insticts?

Instincts are the inborn tendancy to do something, to run, to hide, to fight, to eat, to mate.

What are emotions?

Emotions hold no logic and cannot be effectively described or analyzed.

If Emotions are not logical, how can they be trusted?

Emotions are not logical and cannot be trusted. But because Emotions stem from instinct, emotions are trusted.

Emotions...

I have supressed my emotions as to not beable to fall prey to the weaknesses that come with it, but with the supression of emotion, comes also the blindness of fools and the weaknesses of having no instict as a guide. I have no emotions, I need none.

Emotional Topic of the Day!!!

I'm feeling really bad, kinda depressed. As such, today's emotional topic is depression.

Everyone feels depressed at one point or another. Depression is stemmed from guilt and loneliness. Depressed people have a tendancy to try to kill themselves. Masks are usually a front used to hide depression from friends and family, so people close to the depressed person never realize that something is wrong until it is too late.

In scientific terms however, depression is caused by an imbalance in hormones.

In my own terms, depression is caused by a lack of something in life, something that is deperately desired but unacheivable. Depression can cause disorientation, lack of interest, fatigue, and suicidal tendencies, as well as unpredictable mood swings. Then again, the ladies may just be PMSing, and the guys may just be plain old fidgety since they haven't had any for a while.

Ducks and runs from murderous readers...

Depression can be a great number of things, and the definition of depression is different for each person....

Grins and bows...

So ends today's lecture. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go drown myself...

Look outside!!! It's Cold!!!

Wow, it's cold outside...

Grins... It's a beautiful Sunday night! The night sky, the cool air, the wind whistling through the trees, the smell of whatever is left of dinner, my cat in my lap, my dog whining for attention in the backyard... It's just so beautiful out here...

I just ate, now I'm hungry again. that's just insane. IF i keep this up, some one will have to roll be to school, I'll be so fat...

My mother is insane... She's accussing me of insane things...

There is this one guy at school called Chris who won't stop bugging me... Ok, wait, that's not true. He was once one of my friends, a potential BF, but then, I don't feel comfortable around him anymore. It's official, we may make a good couple, but it won't work. I cannot be near him without feeling uneasy, as if something is way off.

Chris, if you are reading this, I'm very sorry, but it just won't work. WE won't work. Let's just be friends and say hello in fourth and leave it at that. No more walking me home on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. Leave that to Dana, insane little creature though he may be.

Tomorrow is Monday, and I am NOT a happy little senior...

Live Journal

My mother is being a bitch again... She threatened to take away my laptop becuase I am on the computer too often. Well excuse me if my teachers like my papers typed instead of handwritten. I certainly cannot help my teacher's preferences where my schoolwork is concerned, and the bitch just goes on and on about my writing "USELESS STORIES"

HELLO!!! I'm not writing stories half the time! I'm typing up reports and labs and papers for my teachers! Incase she hasn't noticed, half of my grade in most of my classes are in written reports, and most of my teachers grade on neatness, in other words, whether the paper was typed or written.

What an idiot...

Anyway, here's a question to be answered...

First, go to my live journal via link above, which is the title, LiveJournal. read my most recent entry, then answer the following question...

in most anime, there are at least one character who is detatched, aloof, and emotionless, and believes that emotions are weak. I personally feel the same way. What do you think? Is emotion a strength or a weakness?

Write as much or as little as you like. I don't really mind much. I just want to know other people's opinions on this topic.

well... See ya!

Woke up late today, six twenty, yet miraculously, I managed to get to school about ten to fiftewen minutes before zero period began.

Food festival up next. Looks like I'll be heading down to the art club's table first. It's only fair that I participate at least marginally.

Class is about to end. I'll post again later.

Firstt of November

Tired.

My alarm went off around four in the morning. I know I set it for five...

Anyway, my eardrums nearly burst while I was looking for the stupid alarm clock. It was almost half an hour before I was coherent enough to realize that the clock was on my desk. I was so close to a nerrvous breakdown!!! God I'm tired. I guess I'll just go to sleep...
