Name: Dex
Country: United States
Birthday: 11/20/1983
Gender: Female
Interests: My interests are eccentric and pretty much interesting only to me. I love reading, writing, thinking, pondering, exposing fallacies, learning, roundhouse kicking, snowshoeing, extreme sledding, watching movies (especially Ewan McGregor movies), laughing, smiling, and eating pepperoni pizza.
Expertise: I am not really an expert at anything, I don't think. Everyone seems to believe I am some sort of genius, but I don't think I have done anything worthy of that assessment. If anything, I am an expert in stubborness, refusal to bend to peer pressure if the thing doesn't make sense, and procrastination of boring things. Pretty much everything else is just something I do for fun because I enjoy it, and however much I learn about something, there is always someone who is more knowledgable...so I'm not really an expert. A possible doctoral candidate or professor, yes, but not an expert.
Occupation: Student
Industry: Other

This is how I feel 90% of the time, like I am trying to understand, but
the wires have gotten crossed and all I hear is a foreign
language. Like, "What? I'm trying my hardest to do
my best. Give me a break!" I love his expression. | | |
| I didn't like this book. I don't know why people like this book, but I am sure I will find out in class. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the time of extra long sentences, it was time to read something else..." I've never read a more boring book. Okay, that's not true, but it's close. I don't like stories like this because I don't identify with any of the characters at all. Les Miserables I finally understood after watching the movie three times and re-reading the book four times. I really like Les Miserables. It makes sense. The story is more real and more plausible than A Tale of Two Cities, in my own humble opinion. You can kind of skip the long bits about the sewers and the twenty page description of the priest at the beginning and the bits about Waterloo and whatnot in the middle...I just liked it, I guess.

| I first created my pseudonym in sixth grade so I could send submissions into the newspaper without having people know it as me---I like criticism of my writing about as much as I like onions, and having a separate "personality" to suffer the sting of the inevitable just made a lot of sense to me.
Dex comes from dexterous, which implies mental agility and adroitness. Kaden is my own derivative of Cadence. I spelled it with a "K" because unlike "C," the letter "K," unless silent, does not have alternate pronunciations. I chose it because I follow the beat of my own drum, and when I write, there is a wonderful, peculiar sense of rhythm that develops. Also, depending on the etymology used, Kaden means companion (Arabic), fighter (American). Kaida, the female version of Kaden, stands for little dragon in Japanese. All in all, it was a well thought out name that I think suits me perfectly.

| I had a friend over tonight, for what has to be the first time ever. I really didn't know what to do, so we just watched my siblings play until finally a movie was put in. I am socially inept, I know, but oh well. Mostly, what I wanted to write about was a comment my sister made when I announced that I had a friend coming over. "Is it a boy?" asked one. Then the littlest piped up with, "why would she date?" Because it's true. I never date. I don't understand the rituals, and I don't really like to get emotionally involved with people---I don't know how to get emotionally involved, rather. But family got all upset at my little sister, but I didn't. It doesn't really bother me; I know that it's true. I like being alone and by myself too much to date. And I am okay with that. No one else seems to be, but that is nothing new.
Also, I LOVE The Producers! It is HILARIOUS! I like the old one, I wanted to see the broadway version, but oh well...

| I have another blog, one created to vent my frustrations and change the world via a really cool pseudonym, Inimicus--kind of like Locke and Demosthenes in Ender's , which is quite possibly my most favorite book. I haven't really posted anything of value as of yet because I have been under the weather, stressed, and pretty much not in the mood to write economic reviews of current events. It is my opinion that politics and economics need to be brought back together because only then will we be on track for freedom. As it stands right now, we are so completely ignorant of both the laws of economics and the laws governing mankind that America is pretty much swishing down the toilet. I, for one, am not waiting to be flushed down the S-bend.
