first post in a long time!

in response to the Pres. Bush authorizing spying on American citizens, I'm posting the following statement in protest. copy/paste and continue the protest, if you wish. the first paragraph is pretty self-explanatory, the second paragraph is a list of keywords used in searching for "terrorist chatter" in emails/online. hopefully, if enough people post this, it will clog up the intelligence wing that gathers information on the citizens of this country.

I am an American citizen. I am not an advocate for terrorism. If called upon by my country, I would gladly defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Inclusion of the following list of terms in this personal web log represents my opposition to the President's domestic spy program as well as my belief in the Bill of Rights and my 1st Amendment rights of free speech.

Al Qaeda, Taliban, Iraq, assassinate, 9/11, bomb, plutonium, George W. Bush, POTUS, uranium, target, airplane, train, bridge, tunnel, ship, building, kidnap, Afghanistan, explosives, C4, nuclear, infidel, Allah, Satan, suicide bomber, echelon, New York, Washington DC, White House, Congress, Senate, satellite, Army, Navy, soldier, insurgent, Osama bin Laden, jihad, police, Secret Service, FBI, National Security Agency, wiretap, surveillance, and Carnivore…

be the first on your block to know

2005-04-25T01:04:07Z

so it's going to be George Mason University, i've decided. looking at everything, even the things i shouldn't have (i can't lie to myself and say they don't matter), it was the best choice for the position i'm in and what i want to do. it's not the ideal place i would like to go, but quite frankly, i have no idea where the "ideal" place is. so this will work. i'll be happy there, i know it.

so now you all know.

i should do that genetics now. school needs to end. now. i can't skip many, if any, more days or else i'll have to take those 3 exams i otherwise wouldn't, but it's going to be difficult to do that.

so that's it, there you go.

my computer is baaaack.

2005-04-23T04:31:39Z

and so am i.

what have i been up to?

i visited st. mary's on friday of last week. it was pretty awesome. then on sunday i visited gmu. i was hoping i would hate it, but, alas, i didn't. so now i have to actually choose between the two. ehhhh. oh yeah, i visited roanoke on wednesday. they suck.

wednesday night i went to the hella/out hud show. hella was supposed to perform as a 4 piece, but one of the members had to fly out because his dad had a heart attack, and another member went with him. so just the bassist and the drummer performed an "improv/freakout" show. it was crazy, the drummer played a nonstop solo-ish thing, and the bassist occassionally jumped in with weird, skronking noises. out hud was AMAZING. crazy beats and effects, and the dancing. THE DANCING. yes, i danced by myself in place in the middle of like 200 people like an idiot. you should have seen it.

this week was pretty decent, but today was kind of weird. i dunno even know why, maybe it was because it seems like i barely saw jessica, and stuff. but i can't even explain it. there was just something not right about it. oh, i also got my job back and apparently am starting next week. whoops. i really wasn't expecting that and i feel really bad about it, and i don't want to go back so soon. i need to work it out with them somehow.

why must i only find things out about you from your blog? it makes me feel like i'm not being all i should be in our relationship. yes, i worry about you, because i worry about everything, but i'd rather know at least what you might be worrying about than having to guess, or find it out from something you write after like, hanging out with me. okay? i guess i'm being pretty hypocritical by writing this to you in my blog, but i'll talk to you about if you see this, too. i can see how you'd be majorly stressing out right now but please, please, please don't make yourself sick over it, literally and figuratively.

ok, i got that out of my system. i feel a bit better. i'm going to sleep to wake up to a better day tomorrow.

let's have sharing time!

2005-04-18T21:44:13Z

yeah, well, i guess some people might have made me update. pshhh.

whateverrrr.tr.

drama sucks. i don't really look like napoleon dynamite.

yeah, i guess it's just pimpin' as usual.

oh dag i'm in trouble
i'm gonna be kicked out my family tree.

uhh school's okay i guess.
jess came over for five seconds once.

confession time: I really like blink 182. Their value as a musical band was always vastly underrated.

aight that's it. Here's your freakin update, shane.

so, the final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place...

2005-04-01T23:11:17Z

at 5pm, without knowing that they would do so, i signed onto my email, and found out GMU sent me an email notifying me of my acceptance.

so, for those keeping track, here's the final tally:

ACCEPTED TO:
-Roanoke College
-Transylvania University
-University of Montana
-St. Mary's College of Maryland
-George Mason University

REJECTED FROM:
-College of William and Mary
-James Madison University
-McGill University

5 out of 8 ain't bad...

i'm still not firm on where i'll go next year, but i think it'll come down to St. Mary's or GMU. both have their pros and cons. and, also, i'm still not 100% sure St. Mary's will honor my acceptance, after telling them i'm not puerto rican(?), but that probably won't happen. i'm gonna talk it over with my parents, and will probably have an answer within the week. it'll be swee as shi.

crap.

2005-04-01T01:36:27Z

"Admission: Refused- Below Acad. Standard"

thanks.

rejected from McGill. i just found out people that apply there usually also apply to Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, and Duke, so i'm not as surprised as i would have been a couple of weeks ago. but still, i'm not enthused.

it's all good though.

EDIT: by the way, St. Mary's thinks I'm Puerto Rican, for some reason. I need to call them up and straighten that out with them. I hope they don't revoke my admission because I was either A) admitted (falsely) under affirmative action, or B) because they think I intentionally falsified my records or something. i doubt it, but that would suck hard if they did.

OH MY GOD.

2005-03-31T05:31:43Z

did AIM and AOL just crash for anyone else? because it did for me and dipen, and i'm totally going through withdrawal right now. ugh, it's AWFUL.

crap night at poker, too. but i'm still like 5 bucks ahead from the previous night.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Dear St. Mary's College of Maryland,

2005-03-29T03:22:45Z

After JMU screwed me over, I was feeling awful about my chances with the last three colleges I was waiting to hear from. But you helped me feel better about myself by accepting me to your school (only 20% of their students were out of state last year), telling me that I'm part of the strongest academic class to ever attend your school (est. 1840), AND give me a 2,000 dollar scholarship. In fact, I love you so much I just might try to go to your school. So thanks!

Your Pal,

Walker

dear JMU,

2005-03-26T23:10:33Z

thanks for rejecting me. really, it means a lot. thanks, especially, for telling me i would have made it in past years, but due to the fact you had 16,500 applicants, WAY more than you anticipated, and only left the freshman class with 3,400 spots, you ended up accepted less than 20% of the applicants, whereas last year you accepted 56% of the applicants. thanks for being more competitive than uva. if i wanted to get rejected from a good school, i would have applied there.

sincerely,
walker, that kid you fucked over.

and a general malaise sweeps the country...

2005-03-24T03:15:27Z

well, i haven't updated in a while.

i still didn't receive any mail from colleges.
that's a lie. i got some scholarship forms to fill out from montana, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnddddddd....a rejection letter from william and mary. c'est la vie. i wasn't expecting to get in there, and even if i did, i didn't really want to go there. so woot.

my favorite blondie is leaving me for 11 days, too. tonight was the last time i see her before she goes around the earth and becomes chinafied. so that sucked. a little.

so, those things are kind of downers (wahhh wahhh), but on the upside....

our little language bowl team has made it to the semifinals! which is pretty amazing, considering our team (originally) started out with me, ballard, nate, and jackson williams. we had 17 years of spanish between us (though only one could speak it), 6 years of chinese, 2 years of japanese, and 3 years of russian. that's right, 4 languages. however, we have played with different lineups each day.
monday- me, ballard, nate, herb
tuesday- me, ballard, bailey, burks
wednesday- me, nate, bailey, burks
and now that we've made it to the semifinals, my entire team will not be here: jackson and nate are going to china tomorrow, and ballard is off to peru. therefore i've been forced to create a new lineup of unspeakable size and strength: me, bailey, burks, and tina. we will destroy tomorrow, just you watch.

and so i now wish all the kids going abroad a wonderful, safe time, and come back to me soon.

later, radiator.

wahhhhhhhhh.

2005-03-16T02:14:05Z

even though i was one of the first people to be accepted into college in our grade, i'm getting increasing jealous of people that are getting college applications all the time now. especially people who are getting them from schools i've applied to. it makes me think i've been rejected from them. which i might have been, but i don't want to find this out through my supreme powers of deduction. i want to find this out in a tiny letter telling me thank you, but you're just not good enough for our school. it wouldn't be that bad. i just sort of want this process to be over with now. like the onslaught of homework i face tonight.

colleges: send me my letters! i want to know!

mm, weird French rap.

yango from the elbow.

2005-03-13T06:31:25Z

yesterday, today, and tonight were great. plan 9 is amazing. jessica is more amazing. combining the two makes for a devastatingly awesome time.

proof was great. 3rd st. diner was ridiculous, due to high levels of tiredness.

tonight was fun because i got to hang out with some old friends i haven't really talked to much in a while. i was probably really annoying, but i had a really good time. so, sorry.

by the way, if i didn't show you all earlier, i've recently been obsessed with this site: https://www.beige.f2s.com/lj.php. it automatically uploads the last 50 or so pics updated into livejournal. it's sometimes weird, sometimes hilarious, sometimes graphic, but always interested. i recommend it.

oooh, my favorite time of year is coming up...march madness. i love it, the franticness of the selection sunday, the upsets that always happen, the unknown players that come from nowhere to be tourney stars. it's the best thing in sports, and people should watch it. i will.

you know, thinking back today, i had to absolutely laugh at myself as little as 3 months ago. i don't know what happened, but about a month or two ago the overall narrative in my life went from distinctly negative to positive. well, actually, i know one pretty big factor in the change. yesss.

bye.

for my own purposes.

2005-03-10T03:59:42Z

why i was late to school this morning...

2005-03-08T00:24:00Z

today, i woke up at around 10:15 or so. i had overslept, because i didn't set my alarm, and no one had woken me up. the surprising thing was i woke up naked, on the floor of my bedroom, in a pile of clothes. i have no idea how i got there. i don't think i rolled out of bed, because i was facing the opposite way. i also don't actually remember getting into bed, or getting undressed for bed (i sleep naked). it's a baffling story. i'm betting either i was sleepwalking, or i just passed out and slept on the floor of my bedroom and don't remember it, because i was pretty tired last night. i dunno, that was crazy.

an exhaustive update of my life.

2005-03-06T16:06:01Z

so, i've been asked to update, but i haven't really had much to talk about, so meh.

on thursday, i turned 18. that was pretty cool i guess. lots of congrats and whatnot, so that was fun. and now i'm a legal adult. woopwoop. that afternoon i drove around in my car with eric, luke, and herb, looking for something to do. didn't find anything. spent about 3 hours doing this. it was cool though.

friday, we had school and junk, and then afterwards jessica and i hung out a bit, went to the parking lot to discover i had left my car idling in the lot for the ENTIRE SCHOOL DAY. with my doors unlocked. sitting right next to lombardy. i'm so glad no one stole my car. and that it still runs. stuff like this has been happening to my car a lot lately. i wonder why? ;) then we drove to short pump to investigate fixing her iPod. which we did. then we went and rented Them! and Creature From the Black Lagoon in preparation for our good dinner/bad movie night. Which was majorly awesome and fun. those movies were so bad, ahaha.

yesterday i went to school to help schuler with the Middle School Language Festival or something there. I was in charge of helping the kids with origami. talk about irony. every thing of origami i've ever made has been defective. but whatever, i got extra credit for it. after that ended i went out to eat with jess, katie kelly, jake, sara el-shall, and ballard at kuba kuba. that was a lot of fun. then i walked back to my car to find i'd left the lights on my car on while we ate. see, i told you. :P
anyways, then i came home, hung around for a bit, then a few of us decided to go to jackie's. i went beforehand to hunt for another bad movie. the worst movie ever made. PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, which i now own. oh my god, it's amazing. anyways, i came back and hung around the house for a while longer, then finally made it to jackie's at 9 or so, all worried because jessica, who i was supposed to pick up, never called me or picked up her phone. finally we called her house and found out she'd fallen asleep. hahaha, it's all good though, because she finally showed up, and we watched animal house. and got trapped by chelsea/tatum/jake in a very comprising position as jackie's dad came downstairs. i think we win for awkwardest moment ever. anyways, then we all got kicked out at 11, and i went home, watched PLAN 9, then slept.

today is hw, hw, hw. I've got to have 25 PAGES of notes for Losen by Tuesday. I'm glad she decided to assign this to us on Thursday of last week. argh, i hate this project, just because she gave us NO TIME to do it. then i have this electrophoresis lab i need to do by monday, and an IR paper to start thinking about. if either of us get time, jessica and i are going to get together and bear witness to the glory of PLAN 9 together today. other than that, it's hw all day long. wooooooooo.

there's a reason jessica appears in my life so much now. it's a good good thang :)

man.

2005-03-03T02:44:27Z

it's my birthday tomorrow.

that's right, 18, biotch.

just to let everyone know.

ho damn.

2005-02-28T14:43:26Z

Snow Day, biotch.

this is so niiiiiice.

oh! and guess who got an iPod for his birthday?

mhmm...

wow.

2005-02-26T06:05:56Z

the CEOs and business hos party turned out fantastically.

at least i thought so. things appear to be all worked out now.

that was fun. and this is good.

Forced Update.

2005-02-24T22:56:32Z

So jess/chelsea/anonymous stalker have forced me to be updated. Honestly though, not a lot has been going on. Last weekend i hung out with jess on friday, then again on sunday, then there was a little get together at mary crooks house on monday, and then i spent some chill time at lake salisbury with jess on tuesday. it was a very fun couple of days.

school wise i've been catching up on years of late work. it's been bad. i get home and i'm completely exhusted and it sort of sucks. me at school and me at home are very different apparently.

this friday is the party at katie's. could be fun. very fun. or not, i'm not sure yet.

things are weird right now, and i'm feeling really out of the loop. but i'm probably overestimating things.

sorry, i don't feel like updating really right now. i promise a better update at some point in the future.

but this one counts.

SSS.

2005-02-18T23:07:35Z

yes, i was really sick today, as opposed to Wednesday, when i "overslept" aka, didn't go to genetics. Speaking of which...I won't go back to that class until wednesday of next week. hahaha. but i would like to apologize to jessica, i'm sorry i missed chill time, it sucks, but...i was sick. seriously.

but, the weekend should be sweet. 3 days! too bad most of the time will probably be spent doing homework i didn't do this week. i'm so far behind. teachers! teachers! stop giving me homework! i'm a Second Semester Senior! oh well.

this journal has become so boring, i'm sorry for those who actually read it.

anyways, well, here's a survey. wahoo.

1. What's on your bedside table? alarm clock, box for my digital camera, a lamp, a bunch of books, 2 cups full of pens, and a lot of papers.

2. What's the geekiest part of your music collection? hmm...The Conet Project, which is just a bunch of recordings some guy made of numbers stations on ham radios. it's weird.

3. What do you eat when you raid the fridge at night? bagel bites or cereal.

4. What is your secret guaranteed weeping film? i am a robot.

5. If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done? nothing.

6. Do you have a completely irrational fear? nothing i can think of. ooh, heights.

7. What is the little physical habit that gives away your insecure moments? i blush, and i won't make eye contact.

8. Do you ever have to beg? yeah, sometimes.

9. Do you have too many love interests? ahahaha, maybe. but no seriously, i don't think so.

10. Do you know anyone famous? doubt it. unless they're secretely famous?

11. Describe your bed: full size, with bright green sheets with blue dots on them. blanket and green comforter, 3 pillows, super comfortable.

12. Spontaneous or plain? spontaneous rarely, but if you were spontaneous all the time, wouldn't you be plain?

13. Who should play you in a movie about your life? ryan from the oc, he's the only actor in hollywood that amply represents my bad boy good looks.

14. Do you know how to play poker? i know how to play 5 card and 7 card draw, and i'm rusty on stud, and barely know how to play texas hold'em.

15. What do you carry with you at all times? wallet, car keys.

16. How do you drive? angry, fast.

17. What do you miss the most about being little? making good grades. it's pretty shallow, but whatever, it's really all i miss.

18. Are you happy with your given name? Daniel- pretty bland, one of the reasons i don't go by it. Walker- i like this name a lot, i wish it were my first name, because i'll probably stop going by it once i get to college, it'll be too hard to correct the professors and junk. Chambliss- i love my last name.

19. What color is your bedroom? tope...mm, bland.

20. What was the last song you were listening to? Lady Sovereign- "Random."

heyyyy.

2005-02-15T02:36:33Z

Happy Valentine's Day!

it was my first good valentine's day really, ever. it feels so goooood. i hope it went well for other people, too.

good things are happening, i think.

okay, that's all i wanted to say, i'll check you folks later. and if you leave anonymous comments, it'd be cool if you left your name.

kthxbye.
