The Story of the Bad Little Boy Who Didn’t Come to Grief

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

by Samuel Langhorn Clemens (1867)
Once there was a bad little boy, whose name was Jim — though, if you will notice, you will find that bad little boys are nearly always called James in your Sunday-school books. It was very strange, but still it was true, that this one was called Jim.
He didn’t have any […]

Is There Anything So Anti-Christian?

Reuters: Kansas church liable in Marine funeral protest
I don’t understand how any church could go to any person’s funeral and do such horrible things.
Sorry I haven’t posted in so long. Life has kind of sucked lately… I’m going to try to put up a little sketch I did the other night, and with Advent and […]

I went to my first Japanese class tonight. It was packed and I had to sit on the floor, but it was fun. Hopefully I’ll get to sit in a desk next time… itte!

Your Brain Is the Dam

I was just listening to “Lightness” by Death Cab for Cutie. It’s so good. Reminds me of the girl I came closest to falling in love with…

Selections from the Wish List

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

Straight from the newer half of the middle section of the 800 items on my Amazon wishlist. I kind of use it as a list of things I don’t want to forget about, and I rarely buy stuff off of it. I still feel guilty about its… largeness, though. I haven’t met anyone with more […]

Favorite Songs…Ever

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005

I was just thinking about the songs and bands that I like, and I thought I’d put my list of all-time faves up. I think I’ve said this before, but if any song I talk about is available on the iTunes music store, I link to it there. If not, then I link to the […]

Avoidant Obsessive-Compulsive

Monday, February 14th, 2005

I took a personality disorder test. Haha. Here are my results:

Disorder
Rating

Paranoid:
Low

Schizoid:
Moderate

Schizotypal:
Moderate

Antisocial:
Low

Borderline:
Low

Histrionic:
Moderate

Narcissistic:
Moderate

Avoidant:
High

Dependent:
Moderate

Obsessive-Compulsive:
High

– Personality Disorder Test - Take It! –

I definitely fit the Avoidant and Obsessive-Compulsive descriptions to an extent, and my social ineptness definitely got me those schizo ratings, but the Histrionic and Narcissistic descriptions aren’t as extreme. I think I got those because I am […]

I love this song.

Argh

Monday, February 7th, 2005

I am grieved in my soul. Pray for me and the people I encounter on a daily basis.
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one […]

Shakuhachi

Sunday, January 9th, 2005

After some discussion with Greg, and a tip from Stephen (thanks, Stephen!), we went up to Santa Barbara to an interesting little music shop in the midst of pouring rain, and I got me a shakuhachi, pictured at right (pay no attention to the ugly man holding it; where do they get these shakuhachi catalog […]
