The first day back to school.

Scott was 18.30 years old when he wrote this!
Filed under: General

Ahh yes, I went to school today. All new classes, all new professors. Actually, I only had two classes. One of them (a math) was in the early morning. I went to work after I was done with that class. Then, I had a three hour nightclass that got let out an hour and a half early! I won’t bore you with details because there weren’t any worth mentioning. Well, ok, maybe a few things. The professor I have for world literature is not my kind of guy. He’s one of those purely psychological reason people. He walks in the room “Is anyone here hurting?”. It’s like, get a taste of reality, and just teach the freaking class. My math teacher seems really nice. However, one of the required materials for this class shouold be a hearing aid, because she’s so darn quiet. Tonight I saw a guy from a class I had last summer and he was like “hey Scott!” (I was impressed he remembered my name) and he continued, “what’re ya’ doin’ here?” and I was just like… “uhh… classes… college… um… any of this a-ring-n-a-bell?” Oh yeah, my world lit teacher is like “in this class, you will write six thousand words before the semester is over!” and everyone ooooed and awwwwed and maaaaaned and I just sat there thinking “I blogged that last week in one sitting!” Oh yeah, and to finish off this unstructured and directionally pointless paragraph, one of the girls in my math class is really weird. However, she was very intersting to listen to. She was wearing a tshirt today that showed pokemon-style animated dragon toons in different “positions”, if you get my drift. It was very scienfitic, like a reference chart. I laughed when I saw it, despite how hard I tried not to ^_^

I will write about five user-submitted topics tonight! Then, I must go to sleep. I am very tired. I did not sleep well last night, and even though I did get a good seven hours, I was tired all day. I fell asleep (literally) at my desk at work today. My head falling cracked my neck a little and the audible snap broke my sleep. Even now, I’m having a tough time keeping my eyes open, so I’ll try to push through these. All of these have been emailed me by the “tell me what to blog about” page. I’ve included a button at the bottom of every blog entry if you have questions or ideas for topics to write about. However, please note that I may change it around a lot so even if a blog was inspired by you, it might be changed so much that I don’t bother quoting your email. That’s why you have to be specific! Ok, heregoes.

“Scott, you’re obsessive!” After proceeding to list examples of previous ‘obsessions’ (knighthacker, website, scottishot, blog, lcd, bsd, linux, aimpoo, etc) someone asked me what this is all about. So, I guess I’ll tell you. I’m sure you’ve noticed my strange little obsessions with seeminly random and oftenly stupid ideas, concepts, objects, or activities. If you haven’t noticed, then well, maybe you will if you think about it for a minute. I get one idea and it gets stuck. Badly. I think of other things to do, but none seem as important as that one goal I try to reach. In time, the goal gets more and more distant, I grow more and more tired, and suddenly a new goal looks mighty close, so I give up and go for mygirl.jpga new one. That’s my two cents. I don’t have all the answers. I might even be blatently wrong. I can look at other people and try to guess why they do things, but there is no way I can look at myself and figure it all out. So, I guess, in short, my answer to why I do these things is “I haven’t got a clue.” If anyone has any input, feel free to comment it in (using very kind words, of course).

“Scott, why don’t you meet women?… you sure talk about them enough! It would do you good to find a nice girl to spend time with” This one I got a few days ago but I’ve been struggling with a clear answer. Once again, this is a question that involves lots of my own thoughts and perspectives on things that I can’t self-analize very well. However, I will say what I think I know and leave the rest open to interpretation assisted by those who choose to comment to this post about the subject. First off, I’m not gay =op Lots of people think, say, or assume that. Why? Don’t get me started on that topic. Anyhow, let me assure you that this is not the case ^_- I get lots of strange questions about the whole girl thing though. I’ll get emails from twelve and thirteen year old boys talking about ther girlfriend blah blah or I’ll get a message from some girl blah blah and I don’t know where I’m going with this sentence so I’ll just kill it. Anyway, I don’t think it’s a good idea to date purely fot the sake of dating. If a guy is to spend a lot of time around a girl, it should most certainly be for a reason. Like I’ve said on this blog before, I strongly support abstinence until marriage. I take this concept into my personal life and stick to it. When sex is removed as a ‘reason’ to have a relationship with someone, you can start to see where I’m coming from. The things I say make more sense. Ahh, so that’s why he wants a girl with a personality. Ahh, so that’s why he always talks about honesty and kindness and all that other fluffy stuff. Ahh, so that’s why people think he’s gay =op Yeah, well, anyway, I don’t aggressively seek a girl at this point in my life because right now. However, I don’t hold my eyes closed either. Maybe, just maybe, if a nice person comes along who’s pretty cool and fun to be around… then you’ll get to read about her in my blogs =op Speaking of which, have you ever seen someone you could swear you know but don’t remember how? There’s this one girl today I saw that gave me this blinding flashback to some… time…. I don’t remember! I lost her, I couldn’t find where she went, I couldn’t recreate the flashback, and I couldn’t remember what she looked like, or how I knew her. Or… did I ever know her? weird /twilight zone music here/ Feel free to comment on this one but please be nice. I know I put myself in an attackable position by answering this question. Just think before you post.

“Does your family read your blog?” This is an interesting question. JT asked me this one. My anser? ‘no’! Weird, huh? It’s true though. I don’t know if it’s the nonsensical rambelings, the extended paragraphs, or the horrible spelling, but something makes them not want to go to my site. My parents go to my website every once and a while when they’re mad at me to see if they can find something to chew me out about. It hasn’t happened recently though. That was mehndpkt.jpgmainly in the track/misia/knighthacker days. I am so thankful those are over. Now, it feels like smooth sailing. My siter’s never been to this website: but she talks about it and hears about it all the time. I think it’s funny that no one from my family ever goes here, but I also do think it’s for the best. If I knew that they were reading this (and, as parents usually do, twist its meaning into something horrible) I wouldn’t be able to write the same. I’d be unclear, hazy, boring… Where’s the fun in that? Now, one thing that did send a little chill up my spine was the amount of the people from the track team that read this blog. In fact, they may be reading it now. This is something I never expected in the past. Now that I’m gone, how much stranger still is it that they read this thing? Anyway, there were some incredibly old track-unfriendly posts that I censored (by ‘hiding’ them for 600 days, just long enough so I won’t know most of them anymore) so I don’t think I’ll get any problems from that. And, if you’re someone who got to those and may have been offended, sorry! ^_^;; However, I’ll compliment your hacking skills, considering they’ve not even been made public on this website =op So, does my family read my site? never: unless they want to find something to chew me out about ^_-

“how do people know you’re real?” and “who do you consider true friends” are still planned… but I’m too tired. I know, I’m an idot. Oh well, tomorrow night. Goodnight everyone!

i saw some awesome points here. i totally support people who save sex for marrage. and like scott said people think that boyfriends that ‘do it all’ are “impressive”. i can tell you that it takes absolutely nothing to find a guy who will do that. saving sex for marrage? now that is impressive. and publicly declaring it? that is awesomeness! kudos to Nikki, Stephen, tsinaip (means?), and of course scottie wottie hottie boy ^^

Nikki wrote the following at 01:49:10 PM on January 13th, 2004

I’m SO glad you said that!! I wanted to bring that point up, too, especially when I read that tsinaip said, “Too many people feel like they’re not complete without a boyfriend/girlfriend”, but like I said, I had to cut it off somewhere. :-)

It’s actually very sad that this idea of having a boyfriend/girlfriend has been so distorted–teens (and others, too!) today believe that having a boy/girlfriend is what’s going to make them complete–what a lie!! But even so, that idea is everywhere that you look, and so people blindly buy into it…and then when (surprise, surprise) they find out that something is STILL missing even when they DO have that “special someone”…well, talk about disillusionment!

Nikki wrote the following at 11:02:52 AM on January 13th, 2004

I don’t get it…I’m an 18 year old girl who has never been kissed, never been on a “real date”, never done any of that stuff that all the “normal people” do…does that mean that I might have some sort of phobia of social interactions or fear of rejection, too? No way! I’m living a full and joyful life, thank you very much. ;-)

Maybe I’m way off here, but I thought Scott’s point was that he is CHOOSING to wait for a time when he is ready and able to deal with the feelings that accompany a relationship with the opposite sex. At least I know that’s why I have CHOSEN to wait–not because I’m deathly scared or physically unable to have a relationship with someone. I’m excited to see what kinds of things will happen–ESPECIALLY who I will meet :-) –as I mature and become more ready for a serious relationship. In the mean time, it’s great to get to know lots of different people and to better understand exactly what qualities are important to me in a guy. And just as importantly, there’s also plenty of time for me to examine myself to see what things need improvement.

Wow, I could write a whole bunch more on this subject, but I think that’s where I’ll leave it for now. :-)

P.S.
I’m definitely not trying to speak for Scott or attack what malignant-thoughts said by ANY means, and I’m sorry if that’s how it comes across–although I’m not sorry for what I had to say. ;-)

I remember those days Scott, when you would rant about Track. It was the weirdest thing, watching you online and in person. You really were two different people, you are two different people. Now though, I think they’ve started to meld. In my opinion you won’t be worrying about which one is the “real” scott, the online one or the offline one, if you meld them to together, taking the good from each and leaving the bad. We all do that man, ’specially as christians. Taking the good of ourselves, personalities and gifts God has created in us and leaving the sinful stuff behind. It’s a long process, but I think your doing pretty good, at least from my perspective. Just don’t do that personality switching thing you’ve talked about. Thats the path to Schizophrenia.

Bye now.
