| Introduction | I'm a good guy. I feel a little out of place in the world sometimes, which makes me completely different from everyone else, I'm sure. Haha, but really, I'm writing this blog at a weird time in my life. I can't find a major I like, I can't find people I like, I can't find a place that I like. Back to my first thought, yeah, I'm a good guy. I care about my family, and the consequences of what I do. I want to help the world and do something useful, something brilliant, but I'm finding it hard to convince myself that I have it in me. Low self-esteem and wisdom are very different, but they can sometimes lead to the same conclusion :/ When I'm up, though, I'm REALLY up. I laugh quite a bit, and try to find the good in anyone. |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
Either I'm lying face down on a table getting probed in the ass, or my planet is in in pieces and I'm hurtling into space. I think aliens are kind of ruthless.
