 Yesterday night I watched the season finale of House M.D. (～￣▽￣)～ The first thing I noticed was that the hallucinations were back! But this time he actually hallucinated Kutner. I had always loved the hallucination scenes because the hallucinees (the people being hallucinated) were not only in character but also not afraid to stack question upon question onto House, no matter the context. Some of that just seems surreal to me, as if the scenes are quite detached from the reality of what's happening around them. Then, of course, hallucinations should feel surreal, so kudos to the writers for bringing such a subtle mix of confusion, chaos and a structured storyline to portray a very complex neurological phenomenon. I really thought that he would die in that burning building. Honestly, maybe I wished for him to. In the end, he apparently "escaped through the back" and went under the radar to spend 5 months with his dying best friend.  That's cute and all, but the fact t...

 I got an idea (｀∇´) Lately, I've been watching lots of House M.D. and playing tons of Dragon Adventures. Naturally, I'd eventually think about combining these two spheres of interest to make something uniquely me. As I experienced the latest Dragon Adventures UX (user experience) update, I thought about naming my racer saurium Cameron, after a character in House M.D. My saurium was matcha tea themed, and like all sauriums, was insanely cute. Cameron would be a perfect fit for the fluffy, derpy creature! Anyways, when I was roaming around the Undercity tonight, I thought about getting a dragon to match House. At first, I considered big, imposing and intelligent dragons to match his stride. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of huge dragons as they are extremely slow, annoyingly so.  That's when my mind jumped to a dragon species that I've been eyeing for a long time: the Impiavolo. Ever since it had been added to the game, I've wanted one. The asymmetrical wings, with...

 I participated in a school event today (ಥ _ ಥ) Unfortunately, I felt excluded the entire time. The people who I considered my best and closest friends just couldn't wait to get away from me.  While I was strolling around the school, a lonely unremarkable soul, I felt like House. At that moment, I hated society, humanity, all of it. I detested friendships.  But my hatred soon melted into self-deprecation. I mean, look at me. Who would want to be friends with me? What did I even expect? A strained sardonic smile played out on my lips as I wandered further and further through the crowds of students.  I hate socializing. I just want to curl into a ball under the stairs and hug my knees to my chest until the event ends. I don't want to feel so lost, so alone, so pitiful but gaining no one's pity. Pathetic. I have no real friends, except for one. Yet I look down on her. I am a despicable person. I project the twisted ideologies inside me onto everyone around me. I should ...

 I've been having issues with my Google Drive storage ( ･∀･)ﾉﾞ A month ago, I hit my maximum storage capacity of 15MB. I guess it's due to my enormous amount of Google documents, videos, photos and spam emails. Unfortunately, this means that my Gmail account has stopped receiving emails (because there's nowhere to put them...).  This whole predicament has irked me greatly. Now, whenever I look for new notetaking applications, one of the first things I look at is the maximum storage limit.  Interestingly, I noted that Blogger.com, the website that I am using to publish these articles, is directly linked to my Google Drive account. Any photographs I upload are counted towards my 15MB storage limit. You can imagine my disappointment at this news. Anyways, this newfound knowledge has sent me scrambling for a different blogging software. Unfortunately, all of them fall short, be it in terms of their user interface (UI), storage limit or loading speed.  Originally, I had c...

 There's a tightness in my chest .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.  It's like a vice around my heart, stomping down my appetite and chewing on my bottom lip. The anxiety stops me in my tracks, paralyzes me with guilt and the nagging desire to be easygoing.  Pain pulsates in my heart. I tell myself it's just cholesterol build-up.  I can't relax for a minute without feeling like I'm supporting, aiding in my undoing, like I'm destroying myself by taking a breather. Unrelenting is the pressure to be productive 24/7, to never waste a wink of time on mulling or scrolling.  Since when did I start living in the future? It's what everyone talks about. Or maybe it's just me, maybe I'm the one steering the conversation in that direction. Maybe I'm the problem?  Perhaps it's natural. The teachers won't stop mentioning it, and that undoubtedly influences the students' mindsets. The exams are no longer a hazy cloud, undefined. They're here, and they're...

 I really adore my Chinese teacher (≧∇≦)ﾉ This is because she is easygoing, funny and always willing to go the extra mile for her students. She is helpful without coming on too strong, she is assertive without seeming intimidating and she is funny without sounding awkward. Honestly, she is the embodiment of an amazing person. Today, I stayed back at school to practice my oral with her. After casually pointing out that I was the only one who booked a consultation slot with her, she immediately moved onto briefing me on each oral topic. She didn't seem disappointed that I was the only one, and that made me feel less awkward as I had actually wanted a one-on-one practice with her. Just being around her made me smile. After going through each oral topic, she pointed out the ones that we would go through in class. She said to me, “这些我们在课上才讲，所以我们现在做别的题目。你在课上才专心听我讲就可以了。” (We're not going to practice these topics since we'll be going through them in class. Just listen attentively t...
