ACK! SCHOOL ENDS IN A WEEK! I HAVE 3 JAVA LABS DUE!!! ACK!

...so why don't I write a journal entry! Sounds good to me. Actually, I'm also researching my last lab for CS 220, (Assembly). "Why is Intel so powerful?"

Um...they make the computers we're addicted to? Personally, I think it's a dumb lab. Really dumb. But hey, I have to write a four page paper. It's got to be done, I might as well do it. And get it over with so I can do my other work. So as I type, the PBS nerds site is loading.

Waddya mean I gotta download Shockwave? I did that!

Oh wait...I got a new Netscape since then. Hmm...might as well get the new version. Darn.

Anyway...I've started using glass glasses and no straws. I used to only use plastic cups and I still like straws, but hey, why not? I've improved my 'drinking straight from the glass' skills and no longer dribble on myself like a child. I am proud.

I took the Keirsey personality tests the other day. I'm a performer. Go figure!

Portrait of the Performer (eSfP)

Besides being concrete in speech and utilitarian in reaching their goals, the Performer Artisans are informative and expressive in their social interactions. Thus, while Performers are usually extreme in their expressiveness and sociability, observably the most expressive of all the types, they are not comfortable telling others what to do, preferring to offer information rather than to issue orders.

Demonstrating or performing is putting on a show to entertain others, and eSfPs, whether on the job, with friends, or in their families, are the natural performers among the types, people for whom it can truly be said "all the world's a stage." Playful and fun-loving, the eSfPs' primary social interest lies in stimulating those around them, arousing their senses and their pleasureful emotions-charming them, in a sense, to cast off their concerns and "lighten up." Representing about ten per cent of the general population, eSPfs radiate warmth and optimism, and are able to lift others' spirits with their contagious laughter and their irrepressible joy of living.

It is well that ESFPs are plentiful, something over ten per cent of the population, because they bring joy to so many of us. They love the excitement of playing to an audience, and they try to generate a sense of "showtime" wherever they are. ESFPs are not comfortable being alone, and seek the company of others whenever possible -- which they usually find, for they make wonderful playmates. Lively, witty conversationalists, ESFPs always seem to know the latest jokes and stories, and are quick with wisecracks and wordplay -- nothing is so serious or sacred that it can't be made fun of. Performers also like to live in the fast lane of society, and seem up on latest fads of dress, food, drink, and entertainment, the chic new fashion, the "in" nightclub, the "hot" new musical group. Energetic and uninhibited, ESFPs create a mood of "eat, drink, and be merry" wherever they go, and life around them can have a continual party-like atmosphere.

Sweet, eh? I'm a good playmate. I felt this described me pretty well. I certainly don't like to be alone and I do talk to strangers. I like people. I'm bad with jokes but I do try. As for the 'in' nightclub...yah, right.

This is Binghamton. Life ends here.

I have so much work to do. I have a four page paper due next week..."Why is Intel So Powerful?". I'm going to write it like a fantasy adventure story. "Intel stood over the bleeding corpse of yet another small company and tore out it's heart. Feasting on the still warm organ it pondered it's relationship with Microsoft. It also wondered why all these people in the stupid pastel clean room suits kept following it and dancing. 'I may be forced to slay some of them today', it thought vaguely, taking another bite of the heart."

I can be so cool. I have a feeling the teacher will appreciate the humor if I really do have the information to back it up. Imagine it. A fantasy adventure with footnotes. I'm going to have fun with this, I really am. I'll be sure to post it when I'm done if it comes out well...if it sucks I'll just mention it and you can e-mail me if ya want it. ;)

I still have to put the netscape names into my java color sorter. Grr...I hate the week before finals. I have so many programs to write. S'okay...I don't think I'll be having many finals so I'll have a week off to write cool stuff and fix this page up some more. Unless my parents take Loki away with them when they come for my things. Not for a whole week they wouldn't! Oh the withdrawal!

Brian keeps stealing my printer paper. Grr. I may be forced to punish him. I need my paper. He should get his own!! Waah!!! I am sleepy, but I'm not done printing out Intel Research stuff yet. I want to have plenty of it to read over and work with tomorrow when my class, as usual, lets out early.

I need to clean up my bookmarks. I have hundreds of them that I never even go to! I should save the file as something else and start new bookmarks. Leave the old file bookmarked in the new bookmarks. Yeah...that's a GOOD idea! Then I can delete TONS of stuff without regard! Yes!!! Deleting without regard inspires me.

Weeee.......

I really really want a nice crunchy pizza right now. Plain with a thin crust and tasty sauce. Ooooo!! I bought pizzas! The thin crust kind...not exactly gourmet, but it'll do! Pizza Pizza! Then Bed! Bed!

Aw!! I just went into Brian's room to give a kiss and he was asleep. So cute! So I gave him a kiss on the forehead and shut off his TV for him. I'm such a sweet girlfriend. Oooo....pizza's ready! Grr.. I burned it a little. This pizza is so hard to cook just right! It burns so quick because it's so thin, but if it's undercooked it isn't crunchy.

I got it perfect yesterday. ;)

Wegman's didn't have butter. Only margarine. I don't believe in margarine. Hydrogenated vegetable oil cannot be good for you. I prefer butter. Brian got it anyway because he thought we used margarine.

Then he had to coax me out of the supermarket. It came down to pushing. ;) But the pizza calls to me and I need to sleep. G'night!!
