07|Getting back together : "American Idiot" - Jesus of Suburbia (Green Day)
08|Secret love : "Touch Windham Hill 25 Years of Guitar" - Shella's Pictures (Will Ackerman)
09|Life's okay : "Nimrod" - Nice Guys Finish Last (Green Day)
10|Mental breakdown : "Grandes Études de Paganini, revues par Franz Liszt" - No. 1 in G minor (second version incorporating a study by Schumann, Op 10-2) ( Leslie Howard ) @ Franz Liszt

Ending on Final Fantasy VII is just classy. And my party music is very appropriate to my personality ;)

It's your turn! Set your media player to shuffle or random; add all your tracks to the current playlist, and take down the titles and artists for each of the 15 tracks of your life!

Still wasting time!

Well, I just filled my 6 display pics that I could get with a free account; They're pretty good, I find. Except for the bird, which I don't like so much...
In any case, they're all pictures I took and "Photoshopped" myself.

What do you think?

Well, then. I'll try to use my journal to motivate me : I have a few school projects coming up, and proper motivation is needed. I read that setting yourself goals to acheive with timed rewards could help. I haven't any idea of what rewards to award myself, but I need to start and finish my Java program tomorrow, and get a good start on my Assembly project as well. Both are due next week.

Here it is now :

And lo, he starts

Well, here it is — my first LiVEJOURNAL™ entry. Might as well embrace the public and call it my "LJ", like everybody else does.
I'll keep this somewhat fresh every time something comes to my mind, which should be pretty much every day. Don't count on it too much, though.

(As if anyone will even read this..)
