Trent

I have been accepted to Trent University. I have decided that if UOIT does not accept me, I shall be going there. So I shall have fun in Peterborough this coming year.

I shall be majoring in math likely, and minoring in history, so it will be fun.

Until next time...

University Acceptances

I have officially been accepted by the University of Nippissing. This was my first choice for universities, and I will never forget the feeling I got when I read the acceptance letter.

I'm going to university, and I feel great.

One step closer to my dream of being a teacher.

Until next time...

Elections Ontario

As boring as it was working in the federal election, I have signed up to work for Elections Ontario in the coming by-election. I shall be a poll clerk. Let the voting begin!

In all seriousness, I must have lost my mind to do this again. I know how boring it is, why am I putting myself through it. I could just pick up extra shifts at my job... Oh well.

I shall be there on March 30... crossing names off a list. How exciting. Expect another fascinating post, in the fashion of "Tales of Elections Canada"

Until next time...

Comment Spammers

It has been a nice four months I have had without comment spamming. I opened up to the world, I showed everyone what I was thinking, and I broke new ground in my creative writing. Ironically it was my "Where has my Inspiration Gone?" post that got not one, but two spam comments.

Now I am not one to go off the deep end at these people, the comments are easy enough to delete. It is what they were spamming that bugged me. It was the blatantly adult nature of the stuff they posted that offended me. Where in my blog do I make any kind of reference to that kind of stuff? Why pick my little corner of obscurity to spray your cyber-grafitti on?

The first spam comment was a seemingly innocuous one, it was the classic "Oh, I like your blog. I will bookmark it. Here is my blog". These don't bother me in the slightest. It is the second comment that bugged me... It was a list of links to all kind of extremely adult websites, of which I can only assume would have swamped your computer with all kinds of horrible spyware.

I will say this... These people need to go and get a clue. Go harass a forum of some sort, or troll some large chat room. The fact of the matter is that while you are good at being annoying, you are not being very efficient about it. My blog does not have a large readership so you are not actually getting very far with your spam.

I can not get over why my blog was targeted over some chat room or forum. I moderate my blog just as well as your average forum does, if not better. Why not harass them... you may actually get some hits. Also, and this more a statement to the second commenter; you may want to consider a less obvious approach. Perhaps trick people into going, rather than enticing idiots into clicking into an obvious trap. None of my readers are idiots... not a single one, other than you I suppose.

Anyways... In a way I guess I am grateful. You sparked a rant, which is not something I have had sparked in me for a few weeks now.

Until next time...

Camping

Oh, I have an idea! Let's go camping.

I suggest that the next time a friend invites you to go camping in the middle of march, when it is due to rain, that you call this person a moron and walk away.

March rain at three in the morning is freezing cold. The ground is hard and the fire won't warm up anything. You will get no sleep at all.

That is just my suggestion though.

Also, if you do end up going, do not let your friend talk you out of getting stuff to make smores. Smores are delicious, no matter what anyone says.

Until next time...

Where has my Inspiration Gone?

I don't know why I cannot seem to put anything together lately. I just haven't had the spark that I usually do.

I think it may have something to do with not being in normal classes. If this is the case, then I may have a creative spark on Wednesday when I go in for an in-school day.

I can only hope.

Until next time...
