AND THE LACK THEREOF*

about

This is the personal blog of Tim. Here, Tim writes on anything he has enough inspiration to finish a post on. That usually ends up being matters of science, pop culture, technology, religion, and philosophy.

This blog is around nine years old, which is over a third of Tim's current age. Back in 2003, it was called "Of Tim: Tim's life - or lack thereof", and it was as bad as you might expect the blog of a freshman in high school to be. Tim hopes that his writing is a little better, these days.

Tim welcomes any input that you, the dear reader, might have. Comments are very much appreciated, especially if you have a dissenting opinion. If you'd like to learn more about Tim, you might want to see his facebook or google+.

Also: Tim is a very avid consumer of various sorts of music. You may be interested in his playlists!

Woof woof, wort wort! Tim is SO back.

I keep trying to get back into the rhythm of blogging, I REALLY DO, but it's hard!. Apologies, to the greatest. Recap...again...Christopher and Jonathan are gone, and I probably won't see either for another year at least. The house is reall empty, but it does have it's plus side: this weekend I officially move downstairs. Technically I've been down here, but all this time I've had my personal belongings upstairs, like books, clothes, and stuff. Hopefully once my dad brings back the TV from his office which is rightfully mine by heirdome, I'll be all set. I've recovered from the hell of last week, which I remember very little of. I managed to scrape a B+ out of Biology, which was somewhat discouraging, but also disapointing. I have the A++ reputation in that class, no good to have that scarring my record. No idea what I have in Global, but I'm bracing myself for the worst. I missed an entire half of the final project; thats gonna kill like no other test could.

In any case, things have been good, but it was really sad seeing Jonathan go. He's so cool, and he had so much advice on anything, and everything.. Christopher is cool too, but he's almost tool old to relate to. I'm still his little kid brother. I mean, for goodness sake, even most of my school friends treat me with better respect. But he's still my brother. Jonathan is sorely missed. But he is moving on to a better stage in life. I'll adjust in a week.

Finally got my laptop running LAN Starcraft. Took long enough....many thanks to Benjamin and Jesse!

I've also returned to Scouting. I had kinda ditched it because it was too kid-ish for the likes of me, but it's a chance to hang out with friends and just do stuff, so why not?

I recently ripped all my good music (LotR, JoC, Bond) onto my computer. It's nice to have all my good music sorted and readily available.

More in the Random section: I finally did it! I am unable to fit all my game CDs into one CD book of 60! I AM A TRUE GAMER!!! Technically I was already, but now I've like, passed the threshold. Woot. So much wasted money...hehehehe. Considering buying value, and counting gifts and burned CD's, it comes out to about 1100 dollars in games. I've only bought 350 dollars of it myself, the rest came mostly as gifts. Lol...

Ugh. Just, ugh. Crap, is basically the word of the week. So much homework. So much stuff. So much thinking. I'll start at the beginning.

So, let's start with Christopher getting home. He comes home, invades my computer, puts all his 20 gigs of crap on it, and doesn't ask me. After putting up with it for 3 days, I ditch it all and put a password on the computer. We're good now, but that kinda started the snowball that's now about to kill me. A week later, I'm on the eve of Jonathan leaving for good, to North Carolina. I'll miss him. he's experienced a lot for me, so I don't have to do it. The real problem started on Monday. I checked my homework to see what I had. I realized some math wroksheets were missing. I can't afford to crap up math anymore, so I asked to stay home from school so I could get the assignment from someone. So I did. I get back to school, and A: the seats in Math have changed. crap. B: My Global essay is due today...I haven't started it. C: I have three tests: DDP, Global, and Math. D: Sam and Lauren go nutty on me...I have no control on the situation because of my overload.

So much crap. Everywhere, crap. I had a 5 page report to write that night, and I wrote 15 pages worth of Global essay. In one night. It took me all about 8 or 9 hours to do, from 5 to 12. Bad enough right there. But I had to miss dinner and a movie with Joanthan, Christopher, and my [whatever] dad. Oh yeah. I forgot. My dad 'kicked' me off the computer for a week because of my insolence. Whatever. I hold no grudges, but it's just another thing to add to the pile. Now, tonight, I had a 1 page Global essay to write, a 1 page German story to write, 50 Regents flash cards to write, and the normal math. I've done all that, but I have to finish the other half of the Global Project. What crap. I've been working for about 5 hours straight now, so I'm becoming a work zombie. Lord knows what I would do if it weren't Friday tomorrow. Poor Tim, poor Tim. I've had no time for blogging in all this mess. I know I'm not being orderly and organized as usual, but when you're running a 12 hour sleep deprivation on Finals week at your feet, you really screw the pleasures and do what you need to do. Apologize for my fatalism, it should fase by Sunday, perhaps by Monday. Let's hope my world doesn't fall to pieces too soon.

I promise to get back to updating once February has come, but nothing is promised before then.

Sorry that posting has been erratic, and that I never was able to change the background. Couldn't find any suitable ones with good sizes. But the search continues.

Warcraft 3 [Battle Chest] arrived. That's been a lot of fun. Also time-consuming.

Christoper arrived here on Monday, but we never gt to dress him up as a bum. A shame, really. Oh well.

Just a short recap before I fall asleep in school.

Wort wort wort.

Testing some new backgrounds, getting incredibly sick of this current one, and I've received a few complaints about it. So here goes. Note the Halo theme.

Nothing of terrible importance has occurred in the past day, so I end this here.

It's been a while since my last post, but, things have been rather busy. Sort of. Anyways.

I went out and bought Medievel: Total War, Medievel: Total War: Viking Expansion, and Deus Ex: Invisible War [Note the theme]. I haven't installed the expansion yet, since I haven't beat the original yet, but, it should be fun. Deus Ex is still cool, haven't really gone through it yet. I restarted my character in Morrowind to be not so crappy, and I discovered that the game loads and runs slower as you progress. There's not some awful gap between brand new and really old games, but te loading times are much smoother with the new. [Yes, I'm having a game-ranting moment.] Morrowind is fun, though. Lots of fun!

January 12th comes closer every day. And while it IS Jonathan's birthday on the 12th, that's not the occasion. \/\/0127!

Swimming has begun at PE. It's not so bad, but, we have to get to the gym, change, swim for 25 minutes, then change again. It's a really long process for something that lasts just a few minutes. Thankfully, I get to do it for a week less than everyone else.

Not much else has happened over the past few days. Oh, 5 week report:

Math C
German B
Biology A-
PE A
DDP A+
Global Studies A+

That's on the high honor roll, I believe, despite the C. I can easily fix that, because he counted absentee homeworks I haven't been able to make up. German was a miracle, though. How did I pass that, I do not know. Anyways, catching up on my web comics calls.
