Vague Verity gets the book. Tell me where to meet you...in the comments.
I'm in Bio right now. We've just finished our test. I got a 82% or something. That's pretty close to my average in the whole class. Awesome. But not really.
There are some posts that start out with a really awesome idea and pictures and everything. This is not one of them. This is a get on blogger and ramble type of post.
I have to go to Euro in fifteen minutes. I like Euro at the end of the day a lot more than I liked it third block. We had B lunch, so whenever we were doing a project in class, we would totally slack off in the first half of class, saying we'd do it after lunch.
I need a plan. I feel like knowing what I want to do if I grow up would make me a little more motivated. Right now, I'm motivated in Euro and Commercial Art, but not much else.
Blurgh.

Bam

I need to finish my homework. I fell asleep too early, and now it's 4:20 and I need to make a calendar of all my studying. Fun.
I think money is a series of ridonkulous promises. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Ohhhh. I've just finished Give and Take, which is the book from Concord Free Press. I need to give it away to someone. It contains some...uhhh..."adult themes" so you've been warned. If you want it, leave a comment. First comment gets the book. Yay.

Things I learned from Wikipedia

The Russian government decided that their weapon of choice against Estonia is spam. Cyberwar? Why didn't anyone tell me about this when it happened?
Koni has a larger page than Barney and a much larger page than Miss Beazly.
Florence Harding is in the running for most interesting underrated first lady. And Eleanor Roosevelt was not the only lesbian first lady, Rose Cleveland (okay, not the president's wife) was too.
Apparently there has to be an organization with a fancy name for a total of six operating "Intentional Communities" This and this one with the stupid name are worth checking out.
Autonomous buildings are a sort of captivating idea, mostly because the Dymaxion House is one, and you know how I feel about that.
Human scale is a pretty obvious concept that did not need a wikipedia page.
One of the first Car Free Days was in Reykjavík. They really like fireworks and have the largest geothermal heating and cooling system in the world.
And the Dubai Police Force prints their email addresses on their cars.
And there's pirates in the news. Next, you'll hear about zombies, unicorns, ninjas, and warewolves uniting to free the guy being held captive.

Why Today is Awesome

Thing One
I was getting ready this morning and saw thisMy plants are growing! This made me really happy. It should make you happy too!
Then...
I went to King's. It was really freeking cool. Apparently it's the largest used bookstore in the country. Anyways, I got books. And it was super. See that red book? Henrik Ibsen.

Want.

Someone else used a rolley map thing in their house. On AT, of course.

One Good Reason

Not to run away to Iceland.http://www.flickr.com/photos/anna9370/2714275954/http://www.flickr.com/photos/stuckincustoms/http://www.flickr.com/photos/tanktv/http://www.flickr.com/photos/fjalarinn/1170338073/

This is a public service announcement

If you want me to consider going to your school, please send me something pretty.
Not like Denison University.

They sent me a boring letter, along with a thing to send them if I want more information. They haven't entered the digital age, so they don't have a website, apparently.
On the other hand, Tulane University sent me something nice.
Bonus points for using Chuck Taylors.This looks sort of boring from the outside, but when you open it...
It tells me about the different things I can do there.
Please, think of something new and fresh if you want people to even consider going to your school.

Lists make me happy.

I am going to live in a place like this. Because it is cute.
I am going to spend all day imagining things.
I am going to be someone who has motivation.
I am going to be funny but serious sometimes.
I am going to paint the walls grey. And I will have a pedestal sink.
I am going to be good at speaking.
I am going to prove that none of this matters.
I am going to stand with the world swirling around me, a little island in the middle of nowhere.

Look! Shiny!

My grandma just asked me "How I got to be such a fucking smart ass." She did use those words. People wonder where I get it from.

Also, this is super awesome.

Jack the Dripper

His family reads some letters here.
Am I the only one who's a little annoyed when everyone starts comparing this recession to the great depression? I feel like that's going to make it worse. That's probably an irrational idea, but.
Also, AT's smallest coolest contest has started. Squeee. Also, I don't think the bathroom here, the one with the white walls and the black shower is a real bathroom. No one has that cool of a bathroom.
