I was brought into a sudden passion last night to learn binary. Turns out, it's not as difficult as I preconceived...so long as I have a calculator and key for what number means what (65=A, 99=c, so on). But, really quite fun. I thought it might be useful to know the basics as I'm taking a few computer classes next school year. I'm not sure how I feel about those, I don't know a lot about computers to start with and I always feel uncomfortable when I'm out of my element. But then again, what's a class for if not to teach you what you do not already know? So, high hopes for that.
I actually enjoy learning things, as bland as it sounds. There's something very satisfying in it, rewarding to know little tricks of trade and what have yous. Take for example my full grasp in runic writings. I can translate any sample into the English alphabet without hesitation, and I use runic for all my personal notes and musings. That is one downside to writing online. A block of runic text, I think, looks absolutely gorgeous and enchanting; lovely, really. However, on here others can see what I write and think, which has it's own lure.
Speaking of luring things, I fear anyone who picks up my Ipod would think of me a psychopath or something due to the podcasts I have on it. I've a lot on topics such as human experimentation, lobotomies, serial killers, pickpockets, spontaneous human combustion, various monsters and myths, and then some. Just things that peek my interest, I thought they do the same in all people. Do they?
Today was an okay workday. My timid attitude seems to put off some people, I hope they don't mistake it as being prude or anything.
