Deviation Actions
I'm still alive. I've been sick, but I'm okay now. Things have been a wee bit crazy as of late. Hoping things will settle down, but we'll see. I probably won't be on much (if you haven't already noticed). I'll be lurking, but I probably won't say much. Nothing's really wrong. I'm just busy. Unbelievably busy.
Classes have started back. I have a full schedule. They consider 12 credit hours a "full" schedule- I'm taking 15. That means I have classes every day and then all day at least twice a week. Thursdays are the worst- 9:30 am to 4 pm, plus a half hour commute both ways. It's gonna be rough, but I'll manage.
Also, it's cold.

'Political Correctness' and why it's a bad thing
I came across this in my news feed earlier: http://thefederalist.com/2015/11/23/a-rape-survivor-speaks-out-about-transgender-bathrooms/
I think Ms. Triller speaks eloquently and poignantly in making her points for herself, so I won't rehash her arguments or say more than that I agree with her. I suggest you read her article for yourself. What I do want to comment on is something I've mentioned before: symbolic action. Specifically, symbolic action and political correctness.
I've been seeing a lot about political correctness lately. Unfortunately, every time I hear about political correctness, it's being used to attack people. Seeing this ar
The Psychology of Online Interaction
Or how social media makes us feel empty inside.
Since I was encouraged to make this public, I've edited this journal to make it more focused. I may write another journal later about my classwork writing experiment.
The original journal included this:

In other news, I'm seriously considering finding another 'home' site to replace dA. I'm not saying I'm leaving or anything. But dA is falling apart right in front of us. I was having a conversation the other day about this, and I mentioned how dA is basically becoming facebook with a different color scheme and back when I joined, it was because I wanted to be
So, hey
Long time no journal, so obviously it's time for a life update no one cares about! :slow: It's been pretty quiet on my corner of the internet. How's everyone doing out there?
I've been very busy. I've had an awful week. I might elaborate later, but it's ongoing, naturally. Gah. :dead:
On a less ... something note, I've been writing Mass Effect fanfics. You may have noticed. :lol: I'm working on one long one right now, looking for a beta (and brainstorming buddy? maybe?). No luck so far, but I'll keep looking. Also, I have cleared my inbox for the first time in years! :dance: I am amazed.
Update:
To start off, I was selected for jury duty.
A minor question
Once upon a time, way back in the dark ages of the internet, I used to be a fan fiction writer. (*gasp* I know!) I was young and terrible, and I'm pretty sure those sites I posted things on don't exist anymore (thank God for that.)
Recently, I've been embracing my roots with fanfic. I like to think I've improved in the years since, and I like to think writing fan fiction is a good exercise in learning character voice and story-building. Currently, I have a little bit of a Mass Effect obsession, and specifically a Garrus x FemShep obsession.
So, the question: Do you guys, my relatively few watchers, care if I post fan-fiction/fan-art here? O
