Got Anything Random To Say

On Tiny Toon Adventures, the school was called Acme Looniversity.

Hmm.

I'm surprised that people have wanted me to be a part of society and they actually do want me to do well socially and emotionally also. Used to think my purpose was to be a good worker but not bother with other people and not try and be good at things I have no use for. I created that purpose myself though so it probably wasn't correct but when you have an idea of how things should be for years they tend to stick in your mind and are difficult to change; for example some older people are racist even though it's not okay and we are better educated about each other now.

What does this mean?

I am sure its bad and I don't want to know...

Idk. just familiar

What do Tarot cards, Astrology, Joseph Campbell's Hero Journey, Alchemy, the Tree of Life, and Final Fantasy VII [and the Advent Children movie] all have in common? I connected them all together, amazingly enough.

i've known psychopaths. none of them ever bothered to help people. nor would any of them see the value in experiencing something from someone else's viewpoint. that is, they would never try playing a video game with eyes shut.

Urgh I have too much stuff and my sister has too much stuff as well

I also have a lot of stuff. Modish materialism got the better of me. I've recently bought myself a mini aluminum Christmas tree that looks like it's got sweet peas hanging on it.

I want to make a magical girl anime themed book series, but...

1: I'm scared it'll suck, like my old My Little Pony fanfics featuring good ol' Sugar Daisy, and if I don't delete it, I'll find it a few years later, and facepalm, thinking, "what the heck was I even thinking?"

2: I don't wanna base it off of anything other than the magical girl category of animes, and that would mean I would have to make my main girl part of a group, and if I make them up, get attached to them and think of them as my friends, then make some real life friends, I would forget all about them, and that would make them feel pretty sad without a doubt.

I think all writers have that fear of writing something that will "suck", but never, ever let that hold you back from writing. Remember, the worst thing that could happen is merely that you write something you don't like. The best thing is that you still wrote something, something which you could gradually improve or something which serves as a springboard to an even better story idea.

I know I've written a lot of old stuff - including fan fiction - which makes me cringe, but I'm still glad I wrote it because just producing content helped sharpen my skills to make my present writing considerably less cringe-worthy. Practice makes perfect. Write without fear.

And, if nothing else, just browse internet fan fiction for several minutes. If you don't come across something which makes you say "Surely I can do something better than this!", then you aren't looking hard enough.

^That is so very true. Basically anyone in any sort of creative role would find themselves critical of their work at some point or another, be they total beginners or well-known professionals. The reason pros become pros isn't solely because they're naturally better than everyone -- it's because of the countless hours that people don't see of them tweaking and retweaking their style to get it to where they're satisfied. Even they have stuff that makes them cringe, but ultimately they're better because of it, not in spite of it.
Plus on the latter point, look up "Twilight of Sunfall" or "Doom Repercussions of Evil". Better yet, look up youtube videos of people reading those fanfics.

Christmas..... oh, I can feel ya coming up.

Does anyone know how to list packages from only one active database with pacman on Arch Linux? It would make my life much easier and would help automate my updates with my own really crappy script that will probably half way work. I guess I could do freaky stuff with characters strings with the output of pacman -Ss, if I could split the packages based on the database prefix from the same file then that could work I guess.

Whenever my Dad asks me things I always feel like I'm being interrogated

Ice cream and crisps for breakfast, now that's something.
