It's mid-May of my senior year of High School, and I'm literally just getting up and going to school for the body time at this point. All my AP's are over with, I've paid my deposit to UAlbany, and I'm excited to be leaving, my grades are fine, as fine can be with the sudden outbreak of Senioritis running rampant around the halls. It's honestly a complete joke, a joke with an outstanding punchline, featuring caps, gowns and a diploma or two.
I recently have had a sudden binge into reading, with the musical and kickline ending, I've had some time to explore some more literature, well not a whole lot more, but more in general. I just returned Ayn Rand's The Anthem which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I am now reading Orson Scott Card's The Lost Boys. I've been a fan of Card's, since first reading Ender's Game back in 2002, though being a 12 year old seems to limit one's comprehension of the true scope of a work. The summary within the book jacket, discusses a child being "drawn into the computer game" which in some cases seems to parallel the life of some WoW players. Quoting WOWcast's Episode 18 entitled Addiction and the Media, like the old adage your mama always told you "Too much of a good thing, is certainly not a good thing."
It's more than astounding the social, and theoretical questions and discoveries occur within Blizzard's fantastical MMO. I was feeling rather worn out, and was irritated by the sudden mundane within Northrend, but now I'm more jazzed to play then I ever have been, to be a part of such an impromptu experiment of meta-physical social interaction is certainly cool.
Oh & Join FriendFeed. I've decided that after reading FriendFeed Gains Momentum, Thank You Twitter and some other tweets of torture, it seems like an interesting and viable option.
So import your Twitter Friends, and perhaps add me! Ryan S
