Hello, world.

The above sentence was apparently the output string of the first computer programs that programming students were taught how to write, or something like that.

That has no relevance to anything.

I'm thoroughly bored.

I'm sitting in a computer lab, just filling in time before my maths lecture, and then I'm going to skip Equip and go home to get some work done. Getting work done in the hours between 4 and 8 is very hard for me, but it needs to be done - I've got a heck of a lot to do. I might actually need to plan it.

Gosh, when you put everything in half-hour blocks, it really makes you wonder how you waste so much time normally.

I'm so tired that even though each of my subjects is great, I don't feel like doing any of them. That's no reason not to though. Dammit.

A friend of mine (no really, I have a wonderful girlfriend, so I'm really not talking about myself here) is having a relationship dilemma. I felt like blogging something controversial, so I'm going to talk to the big wide world about it.

My friend says, and I quote:

Girls rarely make any moves. The ones who do end up happy; the ones that don't end up whining.

Now, since my girl made the first move, and she's happy, I tend to agree with him.

Also, my friend's a quality guy, who's very godly and strives for holiness - and I'd like to reference an earlier post on "Internet Footprints" (see link to Emma & Katie's blog) which says that godliness is attractive.* He's bolder than me in making moves, and he's done so... but why, when he's put himself out there on the Western Front, is he not seeing any action?

Here's my theory - none of the girls he's interested in have the courage to say anything about it, even if he's said something to them. Now sure, conversations like that can be awkward, particularly if they're not interested, but he's got a number of people who he suspects are interested in him and they just don't say anything. Even when he says something, they don't.

To quote Peter Griffin of Family Guy, "This grinds my gears."

Shape up girls, or I'm going to have to put on my Mr Bite-me face again and steal all of your chocolate. All you little Miss Angsts, you have no excuse.
