WordPress
So now I'm pretty much at wordpress. http://sonicsuns.wordpress.com/
At the moment I'm just using their space. Eventually I'll use wordpress to power sonicsuns.net
I mean, come on, it's open source. I've gotta support open source.

Website!
I've got a website at sonicsuns.net now. Yay!
Now, what to do with it? Should I use it as a platform for this blog. Well, that would look more professional, but it would limit my options. I also want to implement a tiddlywiki-style system for tracking my videos. But then, if I run the website on it's own code, will I have a blog? How might I set up a blog in the framework I have over there? (Shows how little I know!)
Maybe I could even run sonicsuns.net and the blog seperately, with links to each other. But that might get confusing...hm...

re-re-reinstalling
So, I originally put Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) on my laptop, taking up a recovery partition. Then Edgy came out and I re-installed over the Dapper drive, figuring it would be nice to start fresh rather than upgrade. I decided to do the same thing with each upgrade; it seemed like a good habit to clear everything out twice a year (all my personal files are on a 250 gig external).
Feisty Fawn came out, and at first I just upgraded. Then yesterday I decided to re-install it entirely, wiping the partition once again, for the aforementioned reasons. Upon completion, I discovered that the wireless wasn't working. No problem, I thought, I'll just hook up a wired connection and download an update for my wireless card. But after every update was installed, the wireless still wasn't working. So, using the wired connection, I regrettably had download Dapper again, burn that to liveCD, and reinstall, once again reformatting the partition. Then I had to upgrade from Dapper to Edgy, and then from Edgy to Feisty.
But hey, the wireless works.

I think I might be free
Ok, this is really interesting...
For the last 5 nights in a row, for no particular reason at all, I've been up past 5AM. I've had no caffeine, no big worries keeping me up, nothing...
Really, I've felt good about it all. And I haven't been tired during the day, I've just slept from 5 till noon each day and that was enough.
I'm still waiting for the "inevitable" crash, though, when Stress Disorder catches up with me. In fact, I might be begining a crash right now. I spent 4 straight hours at the Library uploading "Who I Am, Unfiltered" (yeah, stuff takes way too long in my current workflow) and now I feel a bit of Stress Disorder. But still, in a broader sense, I think I might be free. I feel good about the future (I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my own webcam and editing software).
Things aren't perfect, but I think they're getting better, perhaps faster than I anticipated.

First negative comment
Just thought I'd commemorate my first negative youtube comment. Well, actually I got some others previous to this, but those were from a guy I knew, so I knew he didn't really mean them.
The comment was posted to my "Ontology" Video
Here it is:
rainermaria19 (1 day ago)
dude, you're a real loser...hope you figure it out, get to take a girl out on a date, learn to play some sports, get some sun...
You know, I've been told there was once a time where philosophy was considered respectable. Nowadays it apparently makes me a loser. And hey, whoever said I haven't taken a girl out on a date, played, some sport, or had some sun? Well...I guess I am somewhat lacking in those areas...unless video games count as sport...Anyway, I think philosophy can be cool. So I am assertively brushing aside this comment, no offense to the poster.
This being the internet and all, I imagine I'll have to get used to it.

Rewrite
So, I kinda wrote this post once. Then it mysteriously disappeared as I was writing it. So here I go again.
Got some homework to do. Also, got to post "Who I Am, Unfiltered" to YouTube
My Stress Disorder really isn't bugging me, which is weird and also good.
Let's review: Thursday night I did 2 hours of driving, and then I saw Spiderman 3 at midnight (good movie, not perfect). Then on Saturday I was on the Japanese excursion. Then last night I was up till 4AM for no reason (and during that time I finally beat the original Sonic the Hedgehog with all 6 chaos emeralds - yes, apparently there were only 6 in the original). And today I've been fine. I'd almost start thinking that the disorder is finally behind me, but I've thought that before. Last Thanksgiving break I camped out all night to get the Wii (oh yeah, it was worth it). I didn't sleep at all (though I crashed later, like any normal person) and yet I was fine for the week after. I thought "Ah, apparently stress disorder is in it's last throes" (ok, I didn't use that term, but symbolically it works out). Then maybe a week later I started having mild problems again. Then, at the beginning of Christmas break, I really crashed. For three days straight, I had to sit very still and watch movies. Sure, I could get up and get myself some dinner or whatever, but it was the kind of thing where I'd plan my steps, shuffle carefully and hang my head (that helps, for some reason). I'd put something in the microwave, and then go sit down while it cooked because it wasn't worth standing the whole time.
Anyway, after three days I pretty much got back to normal, but I learned the lesson to never assume that the stress disorder is gone; not without a lot of proof. So I'm feeling good now, but I'm still wondering about the future.
In the meantime, still need to do homework...
