I'm only online sporadically again



I am still deeply in love with university life, but that's not the only reason.



I sometimes just find it easier to write verses and short stories than I do roleplays, because I can work on my own schedule and in my own style, and nothing motivates better than having a trusted soul offer their lengthy feedback. I still have a love-hate relationship with doing roleplays on Gaia, primarily as it's highly frustrating to have a roleplay fade away to no activity at all after months of commitment. I'm sure that all the reasons for not committing are legitimate, so I am not saying that anyone's to blame here. But because Gaia necessarily means that people only connect momentarily as long as they are interested in continuing to type to each other, real life does take over. Perhaps building a roleplay from scratch works better amongst friends who have consistent face-to-face connections in real life.



For now, I believe that I will roleplay only in literate walk-ins, as rare as they are, because this will help me develop the behaviour of new characters that I want to test out for the first time. I'm not committing to making pages and chapters out of an original roleplay because nobody commits. Prisoner's dilemma, folks.

What have I said to you, in which language did I ask you to not forget me?

Where were we and where are we now?

(Nostalgia of diaspora; it's what my name means.)



What I want to convince you of now is a contradiction of

refusal and acceptance -
 

National security.

Classification is only a reductionist base, a courtesy to strangers and to cadets, a code that means: Promises should be broken and lies should be kept.
See how easily meaning changes?


Why oh why do I study the social sciences?
First of all, it is an idealistic me who would want to pursue something like politics with 100% of me. There are many answers to that very good question, depending on what kind of answer you're looking for, and who's asking.

Let me generalize: As an answer to my parents who care about my financial future, I tell them that it can get me a job in the government which gives a lot of side benefits, and I'll never get sick of doing research on something that I have interest in. To my friends, I can make great conversations with them with all the dirty insider secrets and scandals that I find out about in society, and if I'm a successful social scientist, I could humiliate every bad news article out there flat on its face. To those who know me best, they know that I'm learning to be tactful about what I can tell and can't tell others, and how to always phrase myself diplomatically to suit everyone's interests. For myself, I know there are lots of things that can be changed in the world instead of avoided, that policies need to be revised to benefit as many people as possible instead of jumping headfist into technology that might or might not benefit us (which is why I'm not in the sciences). For that, the first step is for me to study it before I try to impliment any changes, and that study may last me a lifetime if I stick by it. For me, I cannot be in any career where I don't think I'm helping a grand scheme of things. I have not the patience of a psychologist to help a handful of people when they're depressed; I rather face the biggest devil there is in the government and reform whatever it is oppessing hundreds of thousands from living their life optimally.

To one and all: Because I think it's necessary to learn the full extent of what I can do as a citizen of the world. And if I can't be the catalyst to benefit a population? At least I'd know I've tried.



Some variables;
1. It's certainly a statistical possibility that the person you're talking to has a harder life than you. Why not try respecting that, and offering a little less self-centeredness?

2. Circuses and fidelities are all put into question in the parliament. And this is just what the amateur notices. Imagine a lifetime veteran.

3. I can force myself to like certain things, as much as I appear not to, even to myself.

4. Sexuality is no more and no less than a gradient, and I can give you the bibliography (MLA style) to prove it.

5. I think atruism has turned into a smeared term, but, as all atruistic people blind themselves with their egos, I'll try my hand at warping its linguistic meaning.

6. A satisfactory prediction can only happen under abstract, closed systems, and cannot be proven in nature. Google 'Lorenz attractor system' for more info.

7. Poisonous alkaloids are to dart frogs as ______ are to humans. a) lies b) blind technological advancement c) isolationism d) all of the above.

8. People are more willing to help out than you might think.

9. If it sounds good, question it. If it sounds too good to be true, interrogate it until it bleeds. An open wound should be undisernable from a scientific dissection for our purposes.

I'm your everyman,

Enveloped in a bubble of

The news only they hear,

Saturated dusk at

Every walking cycle.

Closing market values.

Riddle the abridged Webster,

And they call me the new sphinx.
