EMPIRICAL

Empirical: adj.
derived from or guided by experience or experiment.

I should probably explain where these random words come from, just so it makes sense. I flick through my Macquarie Little Dictionary and stop at a random page, and single out a random word. This is how I get the words, and no, there are no subliminal messages under them, in them, or outside them. It's random. The end.

Anyway, what's going on in your world right now?

I'm not usually one to complain, partially because I never usually have anything particularly important to complain about. The other part is that complaining doesn't really help much. I have, however two things to rant about right now.

Number one: I'm sitting on my bed, which is one of the comfiest places in the world, feeling about the same amount of crap as I was before, only now I have a headache to accompany the numerous other aches. I hate feeling so pathetic, especially since healing isn't something I can affect or hasten.

Number two: By the time I got through the first rant, I had almost forgotten about the subject of the second, which is the insanity of the whole knives at school thing. It's crazy, because we're turning into America, where they have metal detectors and random scanning on the way into school. I'm not used to the idea of living in fear of being attcked at school. My system doesn't register with that sort of fear or anxiety. Mass hysteria isn't really my scene. Our own knife incident was kept on the down low, but it's a lot closer to home than most of us think.

So, the point of this was kind of to say that a) I have spare time now that I'm crippled, and b) that I think weapons are stupid, but mass hysteria is equally so.
