I used to think that I was very good at understanding people. I always was so sure that I could figure out anyones motivations for doing the things that they do. But now, I think I just don't know anyone at all. Only myself. And even myself I don't know. Why are so many people so damn selfish, and all they can think about is themselves? How ( Read more... )

I don't think anyone can argue with the fact that parents can really screw you up when you are young... While I don't believe that EVERYTHING is nurture (I do think nature (yes, genes and the such) plays a major part in the way you will be when you are old enough to think for yourself...) but nurture plays a huge part in the way you will become as ( Read more... )

"Why do you think the ants would react differently to ants from trees that are farther away? I think the biggest determinant of the Pseudomyrmex ants hostility to foreign ants would be the relatedness between the two groups of ants. In general, it may be likely that ants from a closer tree are more likely to be more closely related to the ants from ( Read more... )

I'm writing again, probably cause I'm a little bored right now. I had such a great weekend, I saw someone that I hadn't seen in so many years and it was GREAT seeing him again... and I went to a couple of parties... but now I don't have ANYTHING to do... so I'm wasting my time on the live journal ( Read more... )

I figure that I should write in my journal again, but I think I'm going to CHEAT and just post my wonderful paper on ANTS from Costa Rica! Not that I think anyone is going to READ it, but I figure this way, I can always find it again if I delete it by accident from WORD! Which MIGHT happen, you never know! I know that it's not a very scientific ( Read more... )

I just felt like writing SOMETHING though I don't have anything new going on... well, nothing that I feel like writing about at least :) I'm shortly going to be putting pictures online of my Costa Rican journey... I just have to get the good ones scanned. wait till you see the BUSHMASTER!

I've started writing my FIRST book! I've written stories before, but this is going to end up being a BEST SELLING NOVEL! I think everyone should be on the lookout on the shelves for my name... It's going to put HARRY POTTER to shame! Of course, it's not going to be a book about witches and warlocks, of course, but it's going to be BETTER! ( Read more... )

I wonder how many people realize how much of your life is ruled by your possessions... Look around the room that you're in... I bet most of the stuff you have are things that you couldn't imagine yourself living without... even if you hadn't used it in quite some time... and I also am guessing that in reality, you could easily do without at least ( Read more... )

Well, I've taken an interesting turn in my life today, one that I never would have expected in a million years just one year ago, but, hey, you never really know what the future holds, right? And I'm actually fine. I'm no longer being kept in the dark about things, and the light looks pretty damn good. :) Sure, everything is hard, but life can ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back from my lovely trip to Costa Rica... I'd write about it here, but I don't really think I would be able to write ALL about it here, so I won't even try ( Read more... )
