Hey, I'm Yianni, an 18 year old high school graduate from Toronto heading to Queen's University this September. I enjoy writing when I get off of my ass and to work. I'm a huge fan of the Podcasts on the Laser Time network, and highly recommend everyone check out those shows' predecessor, the brilliant Talk Radar. I'm also a competitive fighting game nut, so my followers generally have to put up with a lot of talk about tournaments they generally don't care about, sorry :) Anyway, I doubt anyone's reading this, so I'll just list some of my favourite things now, because chances are most of the followers I get will be looking at the sort of things I post about rather than my life story. Games: Uncharted 2, Pokemon, Half Life, Capcom Fighters, Ducktales, Bioshock Music: Weezer, I Fight Dragons, Anamanaguchi Films: The Dark Knight, Pulp Fiction, Kevin Smith, Edgar Wright T.V.: Community (mostly the first 2 seasons, though 3 is pretty good as well), Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, Avatar, The Venture Bros
Hey guys, so yeah, I'm pretty much loving this school, and frosh.
Queen's is really great so far, I love my dorm, and the people are pretty awesome.
Anyway, I'm such a mess in this picture because we had a frosh event today where us first years had to roll around in dirt and mud while upper year students shot shaving cream at us and it was pretty great.
Optimism is believing that going out in the world and doing things is worthwhile. It’s the cynics who stay home and do nothing. This is why the most cynical hipsters among us are also the most unemployed. This is why I’ve grown to find cynicism so frustrating — cynicism doesn’t cause inaction. The desire for inaction causes cynicism. And so you fight to defend your cynicism tooth and nail.
I'm moving out. Tomorrow morning I will be going up to Kingston and moving into my dorm at Queen's. I'm insanely excited, but also really nervous. I've been around people I trust and who get me for the past 6 years, and this is the first time since then that I'll really have to meet new people. It's kind of scary. Still, I know I can handle this. I'm ready.
