greybetaJust as I amuse the Ferrett by claiming he's my sensei, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tu_nenay_08 (aka Swwetypie18) humors me be calling me sensei. I wrote about her once here. But I know more why mysterious Phil, wldntulk2knwwho, wasn't afraid to take a chance on her.
She has a steely personality, much like Tohryu from the anime Fruits baskets. This means she can be counted on to see something to the very end, even if she isn't the fastest or does the absolutely best job. Determination and consistency count for a lot in this world.
I was touched to hear this from her about my last post:
You know, you're right; I don't know you. I don't know much about you and it took you awhile to open up as much as you have. I don't know the real D2. I don't even know part of you well. I can tell you that what I do know, I like. If I didn't like you, I could have easily turned into the bitchy girlfriend and you wouldn't have seen much of Phil either. Even though it took you awhile to realize what I had to offer, I saw that you had something. I didn't know what it was, but I was willing to find out. Again, I don't know much, but from the looks of it, I'm not going to stop trying. I will always try and talk to you and find out more about you. If I didn't want to, I wouldn't even bother talking to you or leaving comments. You do have something to offer people Daniel, and it's called truth. Not many friendships have truth anymore. Trust me, I've gone through plenty of friends in my time. Part of it also is that I think you're afraid to show that to people because you know that "People often despise what is most useful to them". That is, most often, the truth.
Blogs are dangerous when you spill your heart out, or vent, and others (or even yourself) get hurt. However, it's a really good thing to let your emotions out. No matter how apathetic you think you feel about something, it may be because you've kept your emotions inside for so long that you do not realize that you are bottling up your emotions. Blog or even paper journals are good, it just depends on how you use it.
D2, you are an amazing person. I knew it from the first time we talked online. I know that you didn't think much of me, but I'm glad you gave me another chance. I just wanted my sensei to know that.
Thanks, grasshopper. Now comment more often, even if it's not with the same depth as this one.

If Joe Jurevicious doesn't catch two long TD passes, I will finish as the overall pts leader in my league. I have a powerful fantasy team, though it lacks a true number two WR.
Oh, and the overall pts division bottom feeder is going to win the other division. Thank you head to head tiebreakers.

Random Jameson randomly came up with a new great epithet for Maph. I called him the army man Maph or enigmatic Maph, but random Jameson didn't find that catch enough. So he suggestioned samurai Maph. That's because a true samurai lived life to his fullest, not knowing whether he would live to see the next day. That and the desire for hot sex.
Usually, I don't do this, but that's F*CKING BRILLIANT! Especially coming from random Jameson. So the puppy Maph turned army man becomes a samurai. And, hey, I remember a girl telling samurai Maph that he looked like Tom Cruise once.
Samurai Maph, bring us great honor in Iraq!

TU people, I need your advice on classes...
Tentative schedule for next semester:
MWF 10:00-11:00 Russia: Reform and Politics (Bradley will be tough, but doable)
MW 3:30-4:45 American Political Development (I hear Dr. Lim is tough, but you learn a lot)
TTH 9:30-10:45 Child and Adolescent Development (Wang?)
TTH 11:00-12:15 Foundations of Education (Taylor?)
T 1:00-1:50 Foundations of Education (dunno, this is what the schedule said)
TBD TBD History/Honors Senior Thesis (Buckley is the awesomest professor ever)
Fifteen hours, and the education chair Dr. Beals says she will get me into the alternative certification program. Looks like the universe is conspiring to help me once more.

What kind of sausage do you like?
