First off: I’m definitely owning in IRPG:

  2. sycobuny, the level 50 CockGrabber. Next level in 0 days, 07:46:59.
  3. rintaun, the level 50 ultimate lego warrior. Next level in 0 days, 13:27:15.
  4. madragoran, the level 49 gaidin. Next level in 0 days, 03:53:00.

In other news: at about 7:45 AM yesterday I bent over to pick up my backpack and when I came back up the power was out. This wasn’t too surprising, but the fact that it didn’t come back on immediately was pretty surprising. So, I go outside and my neighbors are all out there “we don’t have power.” Okay, so I didn’t forget to pay the bills at least. My ride shows up, we go to school. All the way down Edwardsville Road the lights are out in all buildings. The traffic lights are also out on Edwardsville Road and Wood River Ave. We get to school, and the main and south buildings are without power. However, right across the street, the east building has power. What the hell? Is that road a power grid seperator or something? We all just stood around for twenty minutes before they told us to go home.

I wasn’t too thrilled either way, as I didn’t have power at home. I spent the first thirty minutes looking for a corded phone (every phone in my house is cordless, and my cell was at my dad’s). When I finally found one and plugged it in the power came back on. Apparently some animal had chewed through a wire at a power distribution station, taking out several grids.

On a side note, I’m making progress with my Python project. I just built a few classes based on the asyncore module. It’s very interesting. I’m kind of confused though. It insists that the asyncore.poll method uses select.select, that asyncore.poll2 uses poll.poll, and that asyncore.poll3 uses select.poll. Those are all correct, according to the code; however, the process status is always listed as poll when using any of these (including asyncore.loop(use_poll=False)). I guess maybe the Python interpreter uses poll if the system supports it, even when you’re calling the select.select method. I’ll have to look that up I guess; it’s irking me.

No still haven’t talked to girl probably never will talk to girl no one cares if girl talks to me or I talk to girl except other guy that wants girl who will “get” her according to everyone I talk to which puts a real damper on my self-esteem as if I had any to begin with.

If you read that “sentence” and still want to ask me if I’ve talked to her you need to go cut your tongue out.
