I feel that I have hit upon an important insight, which is the same as it was before, probably and I don't remember.
I am not ready for relationships, of friends or of intimates, at all. The reason things happen to me is because I have put myself in a situation that increases the probability of it occurring. And when it occurs, I have taken on the opportunity.
It could also be that my expectation is set too high. Certainly, I'm superficial. Guys in every fairy tales are superficial. Hasn't everyone noticed that it's always the princess who ultimately fall in love with a frog?

Gene-Altering Revolution Nears the Pet Store: Glow-in-the-Dark Fish
This article on the glow-in-the-dark fish highlights the amazing advance that science has made. It keeps the future bright (pun intended).
I don't know whether it is "ethical" or "moral" to create such fish, because now I'm realizing that there is a deeper sense of the idea of morality as being simply that of whether such creations are natural.
In one sense, it is unnatural because such fish could not have come into existence by nature. In the other sense, because such fish can be created, whether by scientists or by nature, creation of a glow-in-the-dark fish is perfectly natural. Contamination of the genetic wildlife is also perfectly natural. Human beings have been contaminating everything for the last five hundred years by reproducing to an "unnatural" extent, resulting in more than six billion countable people in the world.
Death is perfectly natural, yet scientists are discovering medicine and surgeries that allow death to be postponed and people to live to "unnatural" age. Should we condemn such advances? Should all human beings be made to die at the age of 65, before they even have the chance to retire? By employing euthanasia, also natural, we can eliminate the needs for social security.

ABCNEWS.com: JFK Conspiracy
I just saw the tv show on the conspiracy and I can say I'm glad to get some unbiased information on the Kennedy assassination.
I watched the JFK movie before, and I thought all the facts were real, but this program said that Oliver Stone took some creative license, changes the facts to increase the theory of conspiracy.
I actually believed that there was a conspiracy, but now I know that I can't believe in whether there was a conspiracy or there wasn't. I can form my own opinion based on the facts that are given to me, rather than what some movie writer wants.
I can't blame any writer for sprucing up a story by changing facts; Shakespeare himself changed a lot of facts to suit his plot.

TIME Magazine: Coolest Inventions 2003
I was so happy yesterday when I learned that English class was canceled today. Yet, what have I done with this free time? Waste it. I have not yet started on my English rough draft and probably won't until tomorrow, the day before the actual day of reckoning.

I don't know what I'm going to do with the English paper. I have to type 4-5 pages, and I may need to do more than two short stories . . .

This blogger can be sometimes so stupid. I tried to use the special characters, i.e. the internation characters of ñ and ó and so forth, and the blogging program just converted it to ?.
If you've seen the question marks in place of where those accented characters are, I apologize for the confusion. Blogger is obviously not intended to be an international-friendly organization.
Of course, I don't really know. After all, I was using the dead key + letter keyboard layout, such as pressing ' before a vowel to get a letter with the fancy mark on top.

Once again, here's the list of what I must do!
English rough draft (4-5 pages, due Tuesday)
American Sign Language CSDF Open House Report (1-2 pages, due Tuesday)
