  <title>The Questionaire.</title>
  <link>http://collideascope.livejournal.com/98864.html</link>
  <description>I was recently asked to describe myself.&amp;nbsp; I simply smiled and said that I couldn&apos;t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess I&apos;m ok with the fact that I&apos;m a little scattered.&amp;nbsp; At least I know all the pieces are there.</description>

  <description>Careful, careful, careful was the cockeyed fellow,&lt;br /&gt;For I hardly made out his feverish bellow.&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Stay low, star clear, stay free from fear!&lt;br /&gt;You can never give in to those so dear!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This man, a great echo of many good kings,&lt;br /&gt;Was consumed so deeply by beautiful things.&lt;br /&gt;Bravery and the sword in those dear days of old,&lt;br /&gt;A long lost story of Agamemnon and gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think now of the days where trust was seen,&lt;br /&gt;Above by the mountains in the the clouds between.&lt;br /&gt;I will find you on the edge of sure defeat,&lt;br /&gt;Show you why they say revenge is so sweet.</description>

  <title>I think I&apos;ve hit a pitchfork in the road.</title>
  <link>http://collideascope.livejournal.com/97282.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;m beginning to get the sense that life is so much simpler than I perceive it to be.&amp;nbsp; Still, it doesn&apos;t make decisions any easier to make.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I wish for a sibling, not because I feel isolated but because I&apos;m convinced that no one actually knows me as well as I think they should.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the case, I&apos;m sure the solution to all this BS is simple enough.</description>

  <title>ACME Christmas dinner.</title>
  <link>http://collideascope.livejournal.com/96523.html</link>
  <description>Tonight was my first ever Christmas dinner/turkey dinner.&amp;nbsp; T&apos;was good, although I must admit the stuffing is better than the turkey, but not by much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like snowboarding again, and again, and again, and again, and again...yep, I&apos;m a broken record.</description>

  <description>For some odd reason I feel so at home.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ve pretty much spent my entire life at home only away briefly for vacations and such, but now I just have that comforting and undeniably good feeling of being home.&amp;nbsp; Mmmmmmmmmmmm.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s like smelling freshly baked apple pie or hearing your favourite soft song, I just feel so settled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget white sandy beaches, I&apos;ve got a my pillow and a good ten hours to dream dream dream away.</description>

  <description>I hate that moment, that point where you realize that you&apos;re utterly fucked.&amp;nbsp; I just want to go and start blaming my prof for being unreal (in a very bad way), the university for even putting the words &quot;science distribution course&quot; in the course calender, and myself for not dropping this piece shit.&amp;nbsp; Then I come to another realization.&amp;nbsp; Even though I attending every single fucking lecture there is absolutely nothing I can do but cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram cram!&amp;nbsp; And this most painful part about it is that it will probably do nothing for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m an artsy, I write papers, read excruciating boring articles, contemplate the pointless and read comic books for class.&amp;nbsp; Why can&apos;t you just let me pass, get my freaking half credit and let me be?&amp;nbsp; I just want to be...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please please just let me be...</description>

  <link>http://collideascope.livejournal.com/95623.html</link>
  <description>It was good to get back on the snow and fly like a bullet.&amp;nbsp; What I don&apos;t miss is flying head over heels because of those who fail to recognize the giant black diamonds in front of runs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carving turns, laughing on the lift, pointing out the next run, the sun coming up over the hill and through the trees.&amp;nbsp; This is why I love winter, this is why I tolerate the crippling burn in my muscles.</description>

  <title>I envy trust fund kids...they&apos;ve always got something better to do.</title>
  <link>http://collideascope.livejournal.com/94963.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s kind of annoying to study when you have an annoying little thought poking you like a hyper 7 year old.&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s also kind of scary how I can consistently find reasons to put off studying to do pointless things like facebook (which I swore to myself I would never get into), make sandwiches, check my ever empty email, and watch stupid tv.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m frustrated these days.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m by no means a full on negative super robot but I&apos;m just not feeling the holidays like I usually do.&amp;nbsp; Fooey and bollocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember gr. 10 media studies class with Mr. Everard, we watched &quot;Waydowntown&quot;.&amp;nbsp; It wasn&apos;t a great movie but to this day I remember a scene where two characters used a soundproof glass cylinder to yell their lungs out.&amp;nbsp; I need on of those cylinders...badly.&amp;nbsp; I need something to work out my restlessness and my frustration on.&amp;nbsp; This typing is soothing but it&apos;s just a temporary distraction.&amp;nbsp; Fooey and bollocks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...On a very separate note, what does one get his mother for christmas?&amp;nbsp;</description>

  <title>The Christmas rush officially begins when the coffee shops change their cups.</title>
  <link>http://collideascope.livejournal.com/94292.html</link>
  <description>So, to recap: I hate papers, I want it to snow (a lot), it&apos;s 2:01pm which means I should have started my paper 1 minute ago, my upper back hurts, and people take christmas shopping waaaay too seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok adrian, time to go from a brisk walk to a steady jog.</description>

  <description>One day when I&apos;m older, richer and smarter I&apos;m going execute a master plan.&amp;nbsp; This plan will be completely top secret.&amp;nbsp; What my grand plan will entail is incredibly stupid but simply amazing as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will plant plethora of fireworks in the centre of the city.&amp;nbsp; There will be those giant exploding colour balls, rockets the shoot up and crack, many roman candles...just about&amp;nbsp; the most spectacular fireworks money can buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the colour bombs have been planted, I will find a nice hill that overlooks the city(a tall building will suffice if no such hill exists).&amp;nbsp; I will then push/drag/pull a giant couch to the top of the hill/building, pour myself a glass of OJ and sprawl myself as comfortably as possible and enjoi the show(I&apos;ll time the fireworks to go off or something).&amp;nbsp; I can think of no better plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...that plan sucks.</description>
