  <title>Been a While....</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/12705.html</link>
  <description>It&apos;s been a while since my last post. A lot has been going on in my life and things are changing so fast I have a hard time keeping up.&amp;nbsp; I was accepted to the university I applied to and made a great score on the entrance exam. This will be the first time I&apos;m out on my own and it kind of scares me , but I have to just face my fears and go ahead with it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to major in web design. it&apos;s something creative and I think I&apos;d really enjoy a job doing that. I guess I&apos;m just frightened that I won&apos;t be able to find work when I graduate. It&apos;s scary out there sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My health lately has not been so well. I went to an endrocrinologist and was told that I have something called Polycystic Ovarian syndrome , caused by insulin resistance. The Dr. put me on a special diet and told me to lose weight to help some of my symptoms go away. The blood work showed that I had a severe Vitamin D deficiency and I was put on some special vitamins that I must take once a week for 3 months. &lt;br /&gt;Unfortunatly I am also suffering from a staph infection and the beginnings of a sinus/ear infection. Blah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been really intensely pursuing my interests in visual art . I think i am becoming obsessed with drawing. Art is becoming so important to me. I browse DeviantArt compulsively and watch way too many people. I&apos;m dabbling in watercolors and drawing animals at the moment. I find that if I&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;warm up&amp;quot; before drawing something complex , I tend to be more successful. I&apos;m working my way through the &amp;quot;Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain Workbook&amp;quot;. It&apos;s a really great book and it has helped me a lot. Particularly the negative space drawing and the concept of the basic unit. I&apos;m still not able to produce an exact photorealistic likeness , but I am doing much better. I have begun to take more time with my art also , which is something I had trouble with when I was younger. I just rushed through everything and this really made my work crappy.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven&apos;t been writing at all. I don&apos;t understand why I can draw , but I cannot write. I just sit there and stare at a blank screen. I think one reason is that I think very visually and have difficulty converting these &amp;quot;visions&amp;quot; into words that accurately describe what I am thinking of. Perhaps i am not meant to be a writer. I can do very very well on some essay that i am assigned in school , but when it comes to writing something on my own I am very bad at it. I cannot think of words to say , and I cannot describe things that I imagine. Also , I think I hate writing . It is a miserable thing , whereas when I am drawing , I get into a flow, almost a trance even . With writing it is like pulling teeth jsut to construct a sentence. I don&apos;t WANT to write. I don&apos;t want to worry about apostrophes and semicolons and whether I used the right word or punctuation. I understand it , in fact I made a 98 on the Writing part of the entrance exam I took for college. It&apos;s not that I am ignorant , it is that I don&apos;t give a shit about it. All those things interfere with my thought process and the flow of ideas. Visualizations do not translate to words for me. I have no idea why. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So therefore : I enjoy drawing , want to draw , and I&apos;m relatively good at it (at least I&apos;m improving anyways). &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I HATE writing , avoid it like the plague , but I&apos;m good at it in certain situations (such as an academic setting).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It makes sense that I should focus on imrpoving my drawing/painting skills and abandon writing . The only problem with that some of my ideas are too complex for drawing , and to accurately describe everything about them , I&apos;d have to write something.&lt;br /&gt;Mainly these are my character ideas. I have thought of actually converting some of my character ideas into roleplaying and using them in a game setting , so that i may explore these characters in my mind.&amp;nbsp; Also creating a graphic novel , or a series of paintings that tells a narrative is soemthing i have thought about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My new obsessions are : the new Star Trek movie , the actor Michael Sheen , Paramore , Vulcans , and Twilight. Yay, I&apos;m such a nerd. LAtely I&apos;ve been getting away from reading books and getting more into watching films and tv and reading comics/manga. I used to look down on people who did such things , but lately I think I am just burnt out on reading. I think the only thing I could stand to read for fun at the moment would be something simple like Twilight , some YA novel like Harry Potter , or some Star Trek tie in where I already know the characters and the world. Other things are just getting to be hard work and take a bit too much mental energy. I think I need to get away from reading for a while and focus on other things.&amp;nbsp; I probably also need to get rid of some of my 300 book library. I want to get caught up on some of my favorite shows and movies and manga. I think one reason I enjoy drawing is because I can watch a DVD and do it , or TV , or listen to music whereas when I am writing I can&apos;t stand any distraction at all.</description>

  <title>I am sick today</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/12243.html</link>
  <description>Yes I am. I have an ear infection , a kidney infection and bronchitis. Also I was diagnosed yesterday as having either sebberea or psoriasis. &lt;br /&gt;And my doc is sending me to an endocrinologist. &lt;br /&gt;I wish I felt better :&amp;lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other news :&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;m trying to learn Italian. Such a pretty language , ya know?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;ve decided to go to college. If I don&apos;t take risks I&apos;ll regret it. So I am going to go for it , and one day I&apos;ll get a good job.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;ve been practicing art a lot lately. I&apos;m starting at the very basics and working my way up.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;ve not been working on my novel much. Passion for writing seems to come and go for me.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Last year was a bad year for me. I had several people in the family die. My depression took over and I was pretty much a recluse. My mom stole a bunch of crap from me , and maxed out my credit card. Last year was a rollercoaster of emotion . But I&apos;ve had some pretty good therapists , and my antidepressants seem to be working well. I&apos;m not as depressed and my outlook on life is better.I&apos;m starting to make goals and feel like there is hope in life , when before I never felt that I had a chance of being happy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;ve not spoken to my mom since January. I have realized that I can&apos;t handle her problems. If she were nicer to me then I could tolerate her and try to help , but she tries to destroy me for some reason.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Things my therapist has told me - You&apos;re very talented. You are an old soul and have the wisdom to over come these things. You are made for a big city , I think.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I&apos;ve realized that this stupid shitty town full of racists , rednecks , and christian nutjobs is not the place I&apos;m meant to be. I need to get outta here!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

  <title>New Obsessions</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/11265.html</link>
  <description>Okay so in the last couple of weeks I have read the Twilight books. &lt;br /&gt;Yeah they are becoming an obsession. They are really strange books , at least from my perspective. And yeah I have no shame either. Almost everyone hates these novels and I can see that they have a point. The novels do have a lot of flaws and irritating characters , not to mention the abundance of Mary Sues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I liked about the books :&lt;br /&gt;The Volturi - esp. Aro and Jane. &lt;br /&gt;Jacob and the Werewolves.&lt;br /&gt;Alice and Jasper.&lt;br /&gt;Red eyed vampires&lt;br /&gt;Jane&apos;s power&lt;br /&gt;It has some funny moments. Jacob is especially funny.&lt;br /&gt;Charlie - he&apos;s sweet :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I didn&apos;t like :&lt;br /&gt;Edward - Maybe its just the way that Bella describes him but&amp;nbsp; I find him almost impossible to relate to or even like. Jacob is annoying at times too , but seems more real than Edward does. &lt;br /&gt;The movie - man the guy who played Edward should star in a hair gel commercial or something.&lt;br /&gt;Bella is kind of passive aggressive. &lt;br /&gt;Renesmee&apos;s retarded name&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I thought was weird :&lt;br /&gt;Vampire baseball O.o&lt;br /&gt;Renesmee period.&lt;br /&gt;sparkly vampires&amp;nbsp; - lol&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These books are really hated. I can see why. I&apos;m not into the whole love and romance thing. It gags me . I prefer the evil vampires like the Volturi really. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;__________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also I&apos;ve watched a few Hellraiser movies. They are awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_________________________________&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been working on some art projects.&lt;br /&gt;So far:&lt;br /&gt;Aro portrait - 25% done&lt;br /&gt;The Devil&apos;s Children doujinshi - 5%&lt;br /&gt;Dracula&apos;s bride doll - 20%&lt;br /&gt;Jane portrait - 0%&lt;br /&gt;Alec portrait -0%&lt;br /&gt;Jacob portrait - 0%&lt;br /&gt;Coraline fanart - 80%</description>

  <title>Dreams part 3</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/11147.html</link>
  <description>Last nights dream - I dreamt about a a nuclear war. People all over the place were being vaporized by atomic bombs. I was throwing some of the bombs in other places and detonating them. One time I detonated one and was vaporized myself , but an alternate universe me was still living. I went to tell my grandmother that I was still alive and she said she liked this version of me better because I was slimmer , lol. Eventually the entire world was destroyed and everyone lived kind of like Mad Max or soemthing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other dreams - Thursday night I dreamt about 25 sumo wrestlers. They were in a room with me when a woman sealed the room off and filled it with poisonous gas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday night I actually had sleep paralysis twice. Once while I was dreaming about giant centipedes and another time when I dreamt that someone was in my room. I could feel the intruder&apos;s presence and I glanced over to my bathroom door and thought I saw a silhouette . Sleep paralysis is the worst.</description>

  <description>Wednesday I&apos;m having this God-forsaken wisdom tooth pulled. I&apos;m starting to feel anxious already. I just realized that I&apos;ve been sick this entire month and half of January. Maybe I&apos;ll feel better when this tooth is gone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just got done with my 2YN assignments. I&apos;m seriously lagging behind. I&apos;ve been too into art lately. I&apos;m actually developing a pretty cool story though and that makes me excited. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have some contests on deviantart I want to enter. I need to stop procrastinating. Also I&apos;m trying to scan every photograph in the house atm , so I&apos;m going crazy.</description>

  <title>Writer&apos;s Block: In a Former Life</title>

  <description>&lt;div class=&apos;appwidget appwidget-qotd&apos; id=&apos;LJWidget_6&apos;&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div style=&apos;border: 1px solid #000; padding: 6px;&apos;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you believe in reincarnation? If your answer is &quot;yes,&quot; describe some of your past lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&apos;font-size: 0.8em;&apos;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Answer&quot; onclick=&quot;document.location.href=&apos;http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml?qotd=786&apos;&quot; /&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.livejournal.com/misc/latestqotd.bml?qid=786&quot;&gt;View 500 Answers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .appwidget-qotd --&gt;
I think reincarnation makes a lot more sense than heaven and hell. I&apos;d prefer to reincarnate I think , than go to heaven. If you think of it , reincarnation is sort of a scientific fact , in that all matter is &amp;quot;recycled&amp;quot; over and over again. Once , all of my cells were part of a star . One day they may be part of the ocean , or part of a bird. Ther eis no consciousness or anything spiritual about this though . its just nature.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for traditional reincarnation , I don&apos;t remember any past lives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Misery.</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/10325.html</link>
  <description>I am so miserable. The combination of a month-long sinus infection , a wisdom tooth tearing my mouth to pieces , my mother&apos;s stupid bullshit again , and my grandparents constant fighting and bickering , is driving me off the cliff.&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been to the doctor twice for my sinus infection. The first antibiotics didn&apos;t work. The second ones they wouldn&apos;t let me have at the pharmacy because I was allergic, so I have to wait until Monday for my doctor to call in a new kind of meds. And of course there is the wonderful little fact that I have no dental insurance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah and tommorrow is Valentine&apos;s Day. More like Singles Awareness day. I despise this holiday more than any other. Of course I&apos;m alone on this day as usual. Ain&apos;t life sweet.</description>

  <title>Freaks</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/10129.html</link>
  <description>At Wal-Mart&amp;nbsp; the other day I encountered a total freak. I was walking through the store with my cart , getting some groceries. I noticed this man and elderly woman walking together. Everywhere I went in the store , they were there. Every time I turned into a new aisle , the man would get behind the woman and stick his tongue out at me , lolling it pervertedly. What a creep. I got outta there as fast as I could. Yuck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been watching Le Portrait de Petit Cossette OAV. It&apos;s very sureal. The animation is great though , esp. on the backgrounds. For some scenes I swear I thought it was a photograph or had lapsed into live action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m still reading Anathem. It is a hard read , but I recant my earlier harsh review of it. It has a great story. The world is very strange. It is like modern day Earth and yet so different. I can&apos;t wait to get to the end. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another freak that I&apos;ve been hearing about on the news. Apparently some idiotic woman decided that six children were not enough , so she got insemenated with EIGHT more embryos. She now has 14 children. She lives in a 3 bedroom house with her parents and is single and unemployed. Someone needs to slap some sense into this dumbass chic. The real kicker is that she has now set up a website asking for donations to help out her family. I won&apos;t give anyone the satisfaction of visiting this website , but I can only imagine the flame wars that she is going to get. Some people think they are entitled to a free ride. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What pisses me off about in vitro fertilization , is that people will go at any lengths to give birth to a child , even if it means that they give birth to multiple babies at a time. Why are they so desperate to ahve this procedure when adoption surely does not cost any more that in vitro fertilization does? There are millions of children around the world who are orphans , or who have unimaginably hellish lives at theirhomes. No one wants them. None of these &amp;quot;desperate&amp;quot; people are willing to adopt a child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And clearly there are no standards for who can have in vitro fertilization. This woman did not need any kids. 6 are enough for any person to deal with and any doctor who knows anything should have known this. She was probably screwing the doctor that did the procedure :/ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The American taxpayers are going to pay for these children to grow up. I do not fault the children themselves , and I hope they have a happy and healthy life. They did not ask to be born to a moron . Its just sad how stupid and irresponsible people can be sometimes. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Voices</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/9748.html</link>
  <description>I took a nap today because I&apos;m trying to get over being sick from a sinus infection. I don&apos;t remember dreaming anything in particular. But I do remember a voice waking me up. It sounded exactly like my father. He said &amp;quot;Hey Ashley&amp;quot;. I actually woke up saying &amp;quot;what?&amp;quot; and opened my bedroom door because I thought he wanted in . there was no one there. I went downstairs calling for my dad , but he wasn&apos;t&amp;nbsp; there and had no been there&amp;nbsp; anytime today. How weird. I&apos;ve actually experienced this a couple of times before while sleeping. &lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve also woke up screaming for my mother , for some reason i don&apos;t remember. Sleep and dreams are so weird. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve been sketching like crazy lately. Sometimes I just have that mood. I always feel like I should be writing and drawing on the same day , but I guess I have learned not to force it. Creativity just comes as it comes.</description>

You live in your own universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And unlike most people who live in their own little world, you&apos;re happy to invite anyone in!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogthings.com/whatpiercingareyouquiz/&quot;&gt;What Piercing Are You?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well the description is quite like me , but I was hoping for the nose piercing because thats the only piercing I actually have. &lt;br /&gt;But eyebrow piercings do look kind of stylish on some people... Maybe I should try it..</description>

1. People who smoke. Most smokers are inconsiderate. They don&apos;t care to flip ashes everywhere , or trap you in a car while they smoke and ENTIRE pack of cigarrettes just on the way to town. &lt;br /&gt;2. Working with smokers. They seem to think that their smoke breaks are more important than any break a non-smoker would have. &lt;br /&gt;3. Myspace. It&apos;s ugly and crashes my computer(and I have a relatively speedy PC)&lt;br /&gt;4. Commercials about medicine/yogurt/whatever that makes you poop.&lt;br /&gt;5. Pretentious assholes.&lt;br /&gt;6. The fact that it seems like every episode of Family guy I see is a rerun.&lt;br /&gt;7. Fucked up little cliques on the Internet, esp. IRC. Most of them tend to revolve around people having a pathetic crush/ obsession with a particular woman or man that they have never seen in their life and never will see.&lt;br /&gt;8. Women who only think about men , and who will get jealous and be a bitch to any other woman who is around a man even if the bitchy one isnt even involved with the man. &lt;br /&gt;9. Country Music - yuck&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Hello Cthulu</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/8301.html</link>
  <description>I&apos;ve been reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson.&lt;br /&gt;Or I&apos;m trying to anyways. I say &amp;quot;trying&amp;quot; because its a difficult book filled with wacky-and-somewhat-pretentious jargon littered in every other sentence. &lt;br /&gt;Of course it has definitions scattered throughout the book , as well as a glossary of terms and such , but I&apos;m still like &amp;quot;wtf?&amp;quot; on most paragraphs and have to shift back through the glossary all over again. Granted I am still on the first chapter , but in the time it&apos;s taken me to read this one chapter , I&apos;ve usually read at least a third of any other book.&amp;nbsp; Of course I realize that pretentious stuff like this delights in intentionally confusing the reader, but I&apos;d rather just have my story and be done with it. Neal Stephenson , btw , is best known for the novel Snow Crash , which is considered one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time. Now I&apos;ve not read Snow Crash , but if its anything like Anathem is turning out to be , I might just write Neal Stephenson off as one of those totally overrated speculative fiction writers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dream - Last night I had a dream that I found a little hamster family in a hole&amp;nbsp; ( not &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; hole , you pervs) in my yard and rescued them from my dog. I put them in my little vase on my shelf and they lived there. The mama hamster liked talking to me. Then one day I went to sleep and woke up with all these cats and dogs in my room. Of course all the baby hamsters were missing . The mama hamster just sat there looking traumatized while I searched for her missing children.&amp;nbsp; I threw all the dogs and cats ( which included a large german shepard that tried to bite me , and many many black cats ) out of my bedroom , but alas , the poor babies were never found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another dream I had last night involved the Mexican version of NASA. I dreamed that the administration covered up the death of one of their astronauts , who went up in a shuttle and came back down confused and babbling crazy stuff. He later died. I went to the office of the organization and demanded an answer for his death. The receptionist (who I had to ask if she spoke english first) told me that indeed there was a mysterious death. It was theorized that aliens took over the astronauts death by sucking out his brain. I later found out that the pressure of the space shuttle just killed his brain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news - I&apos;ve started a (yet another) project. Over at conceptart.org they have a a thing called Character of the Week , or CHOW. Even though these contests are long over , the subjects are interesting and I want to draw them all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still ahvent submitted my homework for 2YN , but I will. Eventually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah! and I got the most adorable watch!. Like anyone needs watches these days with cell phones and everything , but it had a purple cherries charm on it and as everyone knows, I&apos;m a sucker for teh kawaii. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Dreams part 2</title>
  <link>http://cephia.livejournal.com/7554.html</link>
  <description>Had another crazy dream last night.&lt;br /&gt;Even though I am almost 25 years old , I was in high school with a bunch of teenagers. Some teenager did something to piss me off. I think he said something smart ass . Anyways I get mad and leave. As I&apos;m going to the principle&apos;s office , I meet an old lady who is also a student at the high school. She is in a course for math . Apparently they also teach flying , because I get on her back and she flies me to the top of some mountain and leaves me there. As I make my way down the mountain , I pass an apartment complex . I see a gun on a balcony and tell the janitor (who the narrator informs me is a failed actor). He takes the gun and calls the police. Well just past the apartment complex is a bridge where they are hosting the Oscars. I can&apos;t get through the crowd. Mr. Wannabe actor/janitor tries to help me , but he bursts into tears because his father is a highly paid actor and he is just a lowly janitor. I&apos;m screwed then and strangely someone at the party comes up and asks me to be in a reality show. The show turns out to be something like Flavor of Love or that Bret Michaels crap . All of us women (who are for some reason all goth chicks) are competing for two rappers with dreadlocks. One girl gets kicked off because she turns out to be a former porn star. I win one of the rappers and as I&apos;m in the bed with him , my mom keeps coming in. Because my mom won&apos;t let me have privacy , all of the people on the show have to trek across siberia and arrive in california.&lt;br /&gt;The dream ended then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone must be slipping me some crack , or I just watch too much TV . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, I finished This Alien Shore. I really liked it a lot and am sad that there is no sequel. The Guerans were an awesome race and I like the hackers as well. Although sometimes the two plots of the book didn&apos;t seem to have much to do with each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;m also trying my hand at art. I still get frustrated , but I have a lot of ideas and am tryign to take my time following through with them . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also , I&apos;m neglecting me 2-Year-Novel project unfortunatly. I need to head on over to FMWriters and do my homework. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If only I didn&apos;t have a headache.&amp;nbsp; :(</description>

&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div style=&apos;border: 1px solid #000; padding: 6px;&apos;&gt;&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s the last day in office for George Bush. There&apos;s been a lot of talk in the media lately about Bush&apos;s legacy. What do you think he will be most remembered for?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&apos;font-size: 0.8em;&apos;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Answer&quot; onclick=&quot;document.location.href=&apos;http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml?qotd=750&apos;&quot; /&gt; &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.livejournal.com/misc/latestqotd.bml?qid=750&quot;&gt;View 500 Answers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end .appwidget-qotd --&gt;
I think he will probably be remembered as one of the worst Presidents in US history. He really should have never been president. He clearly did not know what he was doing. He is alright as a person , but the office of President takes a special kind of person and George W. Bush is not that person. He was never intelligent enough for the job. He screwed up the economy , started two unnecessary wars , embarrassed our nation , pissed off the rest of the world , and was an idiot. I feel like he was just a puppet for the greedy ones behind the chair.&amp;nbsp; He will be most remembered I think as the person who mishandled 9/11 and for his idiotic grammar mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope Obama does as great a job as many people are expecting of him. I think he will disappoint some people because some people seem to almost worship him , even if he is jsut a human . Obama will make mistakes , but I can&apos;t see him making as many stupid mistakes as George W. Bush did . In fact , I don&apos;t see there being a president as bad as Bush in a long , long time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
