Through some recent rantings by a friend I realized how much I like organization in my life. In terms of what I do each day, I like to stay as on-schedule as possible. Not only does it help the people who want to find me, but it also gives me something in terms of what to expect.

In itself, this isnt really spectacular, but when you take it out of the context of my life it is. Up till some unknown time over the summer I used to like my life really disorganized and spontaneous. I liked randomly going out with my friends when I was least expecting it and trying new things just for the sake of experience. I geuss I've gotten more boring though. Now I'd rather just sit around and let the variables in my life be my friends. I dont really like having to deal with new situations anymore, I'd rather just understand my own.

An example of my insane organization is my consistent paths each and everyday at school:

I was really bored in science. Damn Mr. Kirkpatrick. (Click to see big pic)

I guess you could say this extends to alot of areas of my life, albeit vaguely. For example, I dont feel the need to try something new in terms of clothing or hair style. My personal style is just something I call "formally casual", normally consisting of a good dress shirt and jeans/khakis. I dont think my personality can be really given away by crazy pinks and oranges nor with tatoos and peircings. That's just me though.

So I've finally come in possession of the new Sum41 album I've been waiting for for so long, as well as a new Good Charlotte one that I didnt even know exist. I have to say that all these old bands have changed their style so much in their new albums. Good Charlotte is practically rap now in some of their songs, and Sum 41 has gone 'mature', but in the direction of the offspring (meaning they deal with stupid shit instead of romance).

Since I had almost no homework today and two albums to listen to, I did one of my favorite things to do to the beat of music: web design. I've been working on KiH version 13 for some time now (about 2 months), and have been having some real troubles with the gigantic scripts that make up the new version, but I've finally done it. Of course when I finally perfected it the bastardous blogspot put it's ads all over it and ruined it, but it's still pretty sleek. link=keepinithappy.blogspot.com. Notes:
-For those of you who dont know, KiH is just the blogger version of this LJ. Same thing really. I just post in both places.
-A point to be made is that KiH is on version 13 (although it started on 6, which was the last version of my previous journal site), which implies the obvious fact: it's much older than my lj. Entries from there stretch past more than a year ago, which is pretty cool.
-Uhh. it's IE only because that's the only browser I'm super-proficient at scripting for.
-Try oscillating the mouse over the 'musik' link. It makes the 'coming soon' bounce back and forth like a ball. I didnt even program it to do that, so it's an emergent behavior, and I'm stumped as to how it does it.

Anyhow, for my friends that are tech-savvy, (frank, calvin, jeff, kester, jon??, jo??), I urge you to take a look at some of my scripting code. I <3 it and it's super crazy.

Anyhow,

I guess by the looks of it, I'm just your typical "studious" high school student trying to get decent grades and fight his way through the tides of popularity. I'm not normal, though. A mixture of romanticism, horniness, girl-shyness, and optimism is a volatile blend waiting to erupt at every moment. Indeed my mood swings all too often, but I only really make those mood swings evident in this journal. I write everything here. Enjoy.

KiH is my creedo, my definition, the way I lead my life. I realize that in life I dont want friends or money or sex, I want to be happy. Everything I own, everything I say, and everything I do serves as a step towards this boundless goal. I devote this journal to my everyday thoughts and activities and I hope that all my readers come away understanding me as a person just a bit more. If I could accomplish something so extreme as having someone understand me, I would be happy forever. -- Click to clear.
