Computers can't actually select things at random.

If people who identify as "random" really were, you'd expect a much more varied range of subjects. Sure, there'd be the days where they just talk about cheese, but on other days they'd talk about the history of phoenix legends, how to convert from degrees to radians, and Anselm's ontological argument.

Anyway, a few nut-driving things that I just remembered:
- People IRL who feel like they always have to add something to a conversation, no matter how useless -- usually so they can feel like they "won", when I wasn't even trying to have an argument.
- How Obama is about to become president without ever having said anything substantive.
- Libraries closing six hours early on weekends.
- The number of hours in the day.
- The lousy internet reception in my dorm room.

Obama is the better candidate right now because all Hillary's doing is going around and making up stuff.

Which is why I always play Solitaire with actual cards. But heck, nothing's random if you think about it.

I don't really like any of the candidates, but if McCain picks someone I like for VP, I might vote for him, because he's old.

What drives me nuts is the ignorant kids at my school that can't even vote but repeat what they've heard on the news about the election, and act as if they're actually politically aware. I don't pretend like I know everything about the candidates. The extent of my knowledge is that Obama broke out some seriously awesome moves on Ellen.

Something that drives me nuts is my mom's animals. To be more specific, the dog. She is beyond spoiled.
-She's constantly given treats, often times when she runs outside without her leash.
-When she does something bad, she gets little more then a light tap on the rear end.
-She has her own couch, but mom lets her one the main couch anyway.

Heck, she's one of the main reasons I want to move out so bad...

My Theatre teacher's ridiculous deadlines. I've got four days (two left) to create a kick-awesome puppet based on folklore, fairy tales, or mythology; I've yet to decide between the Minotaur and the Mothman, but I'm leaning toward Mothman.

I was looking forward to a steering wheel on a pirate's crotch.

-Overuse of the word random.
-Misuse of the word random. A computer can select something at random. A person can draw a name from a hat at random. A person cannot, on his or her own free will, be random. That's just called "weird."
-The fact that both of these coincide.

Many thanks. I am now at peace knowing I am not alone in having those sentiments. I've actually grown to rather despise the very word "random" as a result of this obnoxious trend.

^ That, and misusing the word "Literal."
Or any other form of the word.
