Well, I just accidentally encountered my first Spanish Semana Santa procesión. Very interesting. Makes me wonder what the ones in Seville will be like. I suppose I'll find out soon enough. Anyway, see you all on Tuesday.
I need to stop time for a day so I can take a deep breath, feel relaxed, and be by myself in complete silence, with my eyes closed, knowing there is no possible way I'd be interrupted or distracted by anything.
Hooray! I got my Rorschach poster back from being mounted today.
Also, I was in the city today, and we didn't have anything in particular to do. So we took a scientologist IQ/personality test.
I answered the test truthfully, because I was actually kind of interested in what they'd have to say. So, it comes to a point where someone sits down with me and decides to go through all the things that are wrong with me, and how scientology can fix these. At some points I really had to bite my tongue (afterwards, I told my friends that the guy had said I was so lazy it was almost a medical condition, and they burst out laughing) but for the most part I'm just nodding. Then, because it was relevant, I mention that I'm on anti-depressants. At first this doesn't provoke much of a reaction, but later on he decides to go back and explain the evils of such medication. This seriously pisses me off, since these very medications pretty much saved my life. And naturally, I end up leaving under not entirely polite circumstances (nothing too extreme). Normally I try to be tolerant, but now at least I have a personal reason to dislike scientology.

Was it incredibly long? I mean, like half a day long?
i used to catch squid with my hands and then feed them to seals in the night time
some of my best memories, right there
That sounds pretty awesome. I never fished much but my little bro and I used to catch salamanders, frogs and crawdads in the local ponds, that was always a blast. I think the most frogs we caught in one day was around 35. Salamanders are the best by the way.

Ewww, Mollusks scare the crap out of me and intrigue me at the same time. What does a squid feel like? Does it like, try to eat you?...Rape you hentai style?

Awesome!
The coolest thing I've ever done like that was throw mussels against the rocks to crack them open, and then toss them into the tide pools to watch the little fish, shrimp, crabs and hermit crabs fight over 'em.
The shrimp were the most stupid of the bunch, so they were really easy to catch.
Hermit crabs couldn't move very fast, so they were also easy.
The fish were insanely fast, and really cautious, so that was rare to catch one.
The crabs were incredibly cautious, and only came out after the fish had decided to come by...and they were fast as hell, and HUGE (by tide-pool standards), and I wouldn't pick them up even if I could.
Getting the fish close, and getting the crabs close meant a looooot of time spent layout completely still. Worth it though!
Yay for beach stories!
[edit] End result: not as cool as mully beach stories.
The beach just isn't an exciting place. There is sand...a bunch of people...and the ocean. Now, the cities around the beaches are fucking awesome. Also there are some really cool piers in the LA beach cities.
If anyone is ever in LA just..hit up pretty much the entire coast line, it is awesome. Palos Verdes (mostly cliffs), Torrance/Rat Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Venice...Santa Monica...its all awesome.
San Diego beach cities kind of blow though. La Jolla is kind of cool but its hardly a beach. Oceanside is also kind of neat...but for the most part they are lame. PB (Pacific Beach) is cool if you like to be around a bunch of obnoxious children constantly drinking.

Bah. My little sister is all excited about having a DA account now for her photography. I helped her set it up, because she is chronically worried about screwing up anything regarding computers, applications, etc. Also she can't follow written instructions. She apparently lost the PS I gave her, so she can't edit a photo she wants for her avatar, so she sends them to me. Honestly none of the ones she sent would read well after scaling, and cropping. So I offered her to make an avatar myself. She's so worried that I'm going to do something disturbing to it.

I'm the same. There are beautiful beaches in Perth. I just never want to go. Except, perhaps, for fish and chips.
Galveston's nice compared to Corpus. Ugh, what a shithole.
Except for the seafood.
I can't remember anything about Corpus, but Galveston's water is awful. We're talking shit brown shoreline as far as the eye can see, where nothing's visible below four inches of the water. And don't forget about the seaweed that cakes the floor; last time I went twenty feet out in the water I came back looking like the swamp thing from the black lagoon.

Savannah needs a mountain.
That and fewer people.
You're so picky.

Sorry just had to rant.

BECAUSE IT'S AMAZING!
I was trout fishing.
Fishing is becoming my new hobby.

Seriously. How did you catch them?
Congrats.
I have an insane exam tomorrow

Also, its a barren, frozen wasteland 80% of the time.
It's a beach! Galveston's a complete shithole of a beach, and I still visit there every now and then.
What i'm hearing here is just outlandish.

Just terrible.
No, 5-speed steptronic. I commute through manhattan every day, and while a manual would be fun sometimes, it would be all kinds of annoying at others.
