I found this on http://www.logicalparadoxes.info/specious-present/, if you want to look at it on the original page. This blew my mind, so I thought I'd post it here.The Problem of the Specious PresentNihilism is the view that nothing exists. There are different kinds of nihilism; one can be a moral nihilist, for instance, holding that morality does not exist, or a religious nihilist, holding that...

21 Day Challenge - I found out about this from a guy's vlog on YouTube (nerimon is his username). You put on a bracelet that you can take off easily, and for the next 21 days, you have to try your hardest not to complain about anything. If you do, then you have to put the bracelet on the other hand and start the 21 days over. Why 21 days, you ask? Well, it takes 21 days to ditch a habit-- in this...

I just finished reading the Harry Potter series again. (It's amazing -- still.) (Oh, and spoiler alert.) But I was at the the part in the Deathly Hallows where Harry is talking to Dumbledore in King's Cross station, and I realized that I had no idea what Dumbledore meant when he was explaining Harry and Voldemort's connection for the umpteeth time. I had something to do with Harry's blood, and...

My sister's used-to-be best friend, Laura* basically just said, "I'm changing myself for my NEW best friend, Sam*."*I'm using different names, of course.Now.

Now, my sister and I, we're like twins, even though we...

Let's start with the dream. Now, this isn't a dream like, "I dream of worldpeas peace." No, it's a dream that I had last night.I've been wanting to re-read the Harry Potter books (or watch the movies) for a couple days, right? Well, last night, I had a dream about Quiddich. Yeah. And in this dream, it was Slytherin against Gryfindor. Since Slytherin's shots kept getting deflected by Ron, Malfoy...

Hm. This isn't really a "comment please" type o' journal (Although you can if you want, I guess. It's a freecountry site, isn't it?). Whatever.Well, I was looking through the stories here and noticing which ones got the highest ratings (and most reads and comments). This shouldn't have come as a surprise to me, but most of them were cliche bull, you know? And it makes sense; it's a website for...

Yeah. First journal. W00T. Should I be happy? Yes? Okay.I think it's time for a li'l' about your truly. Because I can't be bothered to put it in my About. Know what I mean? Yes? Okay.First off, I love psycology, accents and grammer. I also have tons of curiosity. Seriously. o.OI live in the U.S., but would love to visit (maybe even live in) England. I can't be too sure about the live in part,...
