tunes: transplants - diamonds and guns

Okay, my proposition statement didn't get rejected. Damn fucking straight :) I got a C on my Economics quiz. Fuck. Mostly because I didn't elaborate on a few points. Some people must have gotten high scores b/c I think the grading scale was heavily skewed. Oh well. At least it isn't a D. I haven't eaten yet, just had a bottle of Ramune (which reminds me I need to stock up!). I was too absorbed in my speech and outline, I actually made connections during Economics that I want to follow into my policy speech. I also went to Annenberg today (I like it there, the staircases may be cramped, but at least it isn't as sterile as Tuttleman) and the person in the resource center helped me out with searching through Temple's databases. I know I could've done it myself, but I saved a shitload of time by letting someone show me the exact steps. I saved a few textfiles on desensitization and jetted.

Speaking of desensitization, I actually have to agree with those who believe that violent video games desensitize you and may even cause you to crave it. "Yes! Mass destruction! I am Death Incarnate!" (haha, remember Wolfenstein 3D?). After reading about how addicting MMORPGs were, and seeing how I gave up video games for Lent (I amended it so that it was strictly consoles that I was avoiding), I'm very curious and I would like to start playing one. I am very susceptible to addiction, I already have enough, I could do without another. I really miss Bust-A-Move. That was an addicting puzzle game. I love it more than Tetris.

I shoud start finishing and editing my outline b/c I still have to rehearse (and that's going to take forever, if the last speech was any indication, I had to trim down my speech so many times b/c I kept going over the time limit). Now that the webcam is up and my dad has the camcorder, I can record my speech. Anyone up for reviewing/commenting? Would be appreciated. Haha.

Gotta work later. Starving right now.
