Phew...got my CS homework turned in. I was freaking out awhile ago because I couldn't get these things to work but it turned out to be something stupid...but anyway yeah, got my heart rate up just a smidgen. Cool, well I just had a nice long convo with Ryan about everything and that was cool. Don't feel like doing much. Tired of blogging now!

So I'm kind of going through my word .doc of poetry that I've written, pretty much all of the poetry I've written, and some random stuff too and I came across this:

Writing...
It's that thing you come back to:
The confusing simplicity,
Unrelenting flow of thoughts.


Amazing. Did I write that?

And then immediately after that I did An Exercise in Word Association. Some of it...

CS: pain
Pain: Boys
Church: Jubilee
Car: Tri-Cities
Feet: soft
Hair: Braided
Mirror: dancing
Jie: U of Wyo
Boston: MIT
Math: integrals
Keys: home
Calendar: iPAQ
Roses: dried

Now, I did this last year, near the beginning of the year sometime I think...yeah I should really date these things. Okay, so about 90% of my poems are unreadable. I need to be more clever and come up with some good lines instead of just opening up my brain and upchucking some fragmented sentences. HOW FRUSTRATING!! MY POETRY SUCKS! Don't even think about disagreeing with me because I'm the author and it's not where I want it to be so :P.

I really want to do the MS WALK, which is a walk to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic disease of the central nervous system affecting the brain and spinal cord. Jamey's mom has it. So I've done this walk a few times and it's cool that it's at the Husky Stadium in Seattle because that's FREAKIN' CLOSE YA'LL!! So think seriously about it, look at what you're doing April 18th, and start raising $50 for the donation and get ahold of me! If I can get four people to do this with me, I can form my first team...which would be so freaking cool...*tear*.

ARG! How completely stupid! I was soooo wanting to do this paintballing thing with CBCA on March 20th...but that happens to be Spring Break. Sigh, I'm never going to get to go. It's so perfect, $25, rides are provided...it's Asian....but I'm not gonna be around. Oh well, maybe I'm not ready yet, I'll practice some more Halo and then I'll kick some butt. Ahhh, classes call....

Oh yeah, I was also going to say that man, I really censor my blogs. There's been some major stuff happening, but I'm just not talking about it here because I don't really see this blog as somewhere to throw all of my crap out, but more leaning towards the entertaining aspect and general overview of how Feiya is doing. So if something major happens and you know about it and you read my blog and don't see it on here, just know that I have good reasons not to blog it and it's not because I'm just smoothing it over or forgetting about it or ignoring that it happened. In all regards, I feel like I'm doing about a 6 on a scale of 1 to 10, ten being like I aced a test. Kinda majorly behind on schoolwork, but that's okay, because I don't have any tests coming up. :D Okay, there's my explaination of what makes it into this blog and what doesn't!

*funky beat*

Yeah, so the R.E.T.R.O. poetry/freestyle/music/craziness that I went to last night was way slamming. Got me all inspired and I want to look through all the poetry I've written and try to find one that's readable outloud. I don't know, what I think is good poetry a lot of other people might not, especially now that I've done Bricolage. It's intimidating. I can just see my poor words on the page being ripped apart into shreds...the carefully chosen words repeated outloud with a snicker. :'( I really want my poetry to be accepted, because it's so much an extention of me, but now that I read over a few that I've written this year I'm like freak....I suck...suckiness, blah. They're not quality poems, they do their job at the time, of expressing whatever I'm feeling, but they don't have that artistic slant to them. No real cool lines, no ingenuity...ugh. But hey RETRO is only once a month...so I have a month to scrape something together. I should practice, eh? I'm still not sure if I want anyone there that I know to be there if I do it. So yeah ;) I might just go sometime next month and no one I know will be there :) and then I'll read something. Maybe.

The really sad thing about the pictures above, is that I could have probably done a better job in 1/2 hour in paintbrush...

Happy Leap Year Day everyone! I didn't even notice it until I went on Google...

I'm trying to write the CS project write up and it's going fairly slowly, it's soooo boring and I can barely remember what happened, it wasn't as exciting as the first one because it was mostly guess and check for making the objects and it was so tedious. Making the loops was kind of cool, but I didn't make many repeating objects so it didn't happen much. I know you are all curious to see how the pictures came out so here are the three pictures that I made, the first one was supposed to be made with only ovals, which in my case turned out to be a LOT of circles and one BIG oval (the background):



The second one was a NatureScene, and the border is a completely separate class but it wasn't very hard to make and if you look closely, the color pattern looks strangely familiar....



AND finally.....*drum roll*.....the third picture we could make of anything we want, on the specs it says "A scene with anything you like in it. This can be abstract, a more elaborate landscape, or anything else. Make it interesting! What does "interesting" mean? Here's an interestingness test: show the picture you create to some people not in CSE142. Ask them if they would call it interesting. Then show it to someone in the class (ideally, someone who is not already your friend). See if they judge it interesting. If all those people think it is interesting, chances are your TA will, too!"
I did a lot of research for this:



But Steve, who is a StrongBad veteran, suggested some alternative lines for StrongBad's thoughts. I put them in the comments of the picture so I can change them later.

/*coollSTEVE: Aww man, where am I?
coollSTEVE: what the crap, why am i naked?
coollSTEVE: what is this some kinda Java Program
finite being 2: he asks a lot of questions
coollSTEVE: yeah
finite being 2: what about the whole stop reading my thoughts thing?
coollSTEVE: why are you reading my thoughts
coollSTEVE: are you some kinda...mind reader...guy dude...

In other news, Shalom was worth the $105 of course. We all had a great time, I got prayed for and also got to pray over my TC family. I'll get some pictures and an awesome clip of how the Sat. night Native American worship was like up sometime soon. Man oh man is my room a complete MESS!! I still haven't gotten around to putting away the laundry that I did um, last week. I got some of it put away...but that was when I was trying to find clothes to pack for Shalom. I had a great time playing Citadels, a German-made game which was really kind of cool. There was actually some strategy which involved trying to get the most gold, while not getting screwed over by everyone else. Sadly, I lost to Ryan by one point and tied for second with Colin. Everything else was pretty much Typical Christian Conference occurrences. The really interesting part of the whole thing though, was that we stayed at the same DoubleTree Hotel where I first decided to follow Jesus Christ at my first conference. So when I was walking through the halls to my room, it just brought back a wave of nostalgia and it was so amazing, I mean Christine and Diane, who were at the first conference, were at this one, and instead of being non-Christian, I was a pretty involved Christian. And so much has happened in the meantime...I worked at PNNL, graduated, got engaged, traveled and did a mission, and now I'm on the brink of applying to major in Technical Communications at the University of Washington. I love the lyrics to this one worship song, His Banner Over Me (is Love)--"You do all things well, just look at our lives." I am humbled and amazed at the blessings that I have been given and do not deserve. Not only did Jesus go through the Passion for my sins, but He didn't stop there, He chose to bless me even in my stupidness. Hallelujah, God is good :D
