Benign Thoughts

After today, I’m going to try to get back on schedule again. First, I’ll blog every other day, then I’ll try to do it every day. All I need to do is get into the habit of writing no matter what. I upgraded wordpress again, so if you run into any problems contact me via the “contact me” form.

Have any of you heard of Anime-Kraze? They’re a fansubbing group like ACONAN, except they do all sorts of stuff, not just one series. They seem pretty big, and they have a lot to offer, so if you’re into anime, I suggest checking it out. If you’re like my dad and don’t like anime, I also suggest you check it out. Sure the animation might not be groundbreaking (Dad can’t stand it), but it’s good stuff. They’re awesome at the translations. I’m thinking of joining quality control or something next time they have an opening, or I’ll just be a seeder. I dunno, I want to give something.

Now, about my spam filter… If it bans your IP from posting a comment, let me know! It’s done this many times, so yeah.

Now, another ad for WCPH. C’mon guys, don’t you wanna read it? Just start here and check back at time.benignthoughts.com for updates every few days. Feel free to post comments or whatever you want. Thanks

Alright, I have to stop this entry now. I’ll try to blog tomorrow though, so yeah.

See? Here I am… It’s sunday… And I’m blogging. It took me long enough, didn’t it? Hopefully soon I’ll be less lazy and I’ll blog more, but I’m really sorry I haven’t been posting anything lately. I’ve just been pretty busy with random stuff like XMG and Gentoo. Caitlin also broke up with me a few days ago (wednesday) so I’ve been kind of down… Well, I guess I’ll start.

Alright, I put it off, got busy with something else, and now it’s monday and I still haven’t published this. NOW I’ll start.

I went camping this weekend! It was alright. I can’t really say much about it here though, but I can say that we slept in a cabin, had ravioli for dinner, cookies and turnovers for dessert, and doughnuts from dunkin’ donuts for breakfast. Yeah, it wasn’t much of a campout in terms of camping, but we did go on a hike in which my dad couldn’t cross the streams. Yeah, there were 3 (?) streams in the way on the ‘trail’ that we went on. I say ‘trail’ because we got off the trail a few times, and when we got back we were on a completely different trail. Anyway, 2 of these streams had no official ‘bridge’ (the second one had a flattened log because it was on the trail). Dad couldn’t even get over the one WITH the bridge…. how pathetic. The first one he took forever on, the second one he freaked out in the middle and wouldn’t finish (that was the one with a flattened log going across as a bridge), and the third he wouldn’t even start to go over. I crossed that third stream many times because we had a snowball fight over there later in the day.

Yeah, I guess you want to know about Caitlin now. It’s still kind of hard for me to write about this, because I’m so damn upset. Well, I knew it was coming because she hardly talked to me since the beginning of the year and I didn’t even get a single hug. It was torture since I love her so damn much. I still love her now, I could never be mad at her… ever. Well, anyway she did it in almost the worst possible way. It’s right down there with ‘IM from a friend’ and ‘text-message’. Yep, it’s almost as bad as a text-message. It was a note. No, it doesn’t stop there, it wasn’t even written by HER! She got this kid who sits at her lunch table, Billy (I believe you all know him from earlier posts), to write it FOR her. She was right in front of me when I read it, so I knew it wasn’t just one of Billy’s little things to piss me off. It’s not even for someone else though! She did it for basically no reason. The note just said that she didn’t like me ‘in that way’ anymore, and that we could still be friends. So basically, it’s reverted to the beginning of 8th grade. Well, at least she talks to me more… Ironic, isn’t it?

That’s all. Remember to read What Could Possibly Happen today. If you didn’t know what it is, it’s a really long short story written through a blog. It’s kinda cool. I’m gonna publish the next section of it in a few minutes. C ya!

I WILL blog sunday. If I don’t, yell and scream at me. Alright?

Well, Caitlin broke up with me today so I’m really depressed. I promise I’ll blog tomorrow.

Yeah, I’m sorry I didn’t post earlier, but I’ve been pretty bored lately. Yeah, I’ve kinda been running out of stuff to post about because I haven’t really been doing much and I don’t want to force a post out. Today I actually think I have enough stuff to actually have a full-length entry, so I guess I’ll start now.

Two new wallpapers! Yep, on my deviantart account I posted 2 brand new wallpapers. Both of them took a very long time, but 23 took longer. For some reason, when 23 was done rendering there was a big seam in the middle I didn’t notice when generating the flame, so I had to adjust the colors quite a bit.

Speaking of DeviantArt, I think I’m gonna sign up for a subscription in the near future. I don’t know if it’ll be a waste of money or not (like my dad and Bobby says). I really want to support the guys who make the site, and I also can’t stand the ads. I’m also on the site a lot, and I think it might finally be time to get an actual subscription. Somebody tell me what to do, please

Matt pointed out that the spammers are now using trackback to spam blogs and other sites that have commenting enabled. That’s pretty bad because most spam plugins and such don’t check trackback. Luckily, Spam Karma, which is what I use, does (as of version 1.15).

I’m writing a new not-so-short story. I think I posted what it was going to be on here, didn’t I? It’s that time story. Well, originally it was gonna be a regular story, but I figured I’d make a special blog out of it and post a part of it every day. Right now that blog isn’t even set up yet, but it should be up by the end of the night. If not, then I’ll finish it up during Creative Writing tomorrow (the blog, not the story, the story’s 13 pages in and not even halfway done).

That’s it! I’m gonna run off and work on that story blog now. bye!

edit: it’s up
