And on a quick note...

According to this test, this is what my feet say about me.

You are pretty average in your expressiveness. You can express yourself well, but you don't always want to. You are a very passionate person. You are highly charged and easily inspired. You are an assertive person at times. You'll pull out all the stops to get what you want, if it's worth it. You take a while to fall in love, but once you do, you stay pretty attached to your partner. You are not easily frightened, but you have a few strong phobias. You are very practical and down to earth. You're more concerned with action than thoughts. You are an amazingly hard worker. You aren't spoiled and you don't mind getting your hands dirty. You are easily influenced by other people. You're quite impressionable, so you should only be around people who are a good influence.

I have to say, I agree overall. What do your feet say about you?

Damn you mentioning these tests, biscuithead. I need to be studying!

The Beige Knight

I've discussed graffiti before. Actually, on several occasions. And while I have stated that I have some appreciation for the more whimsical styles that pop up, I dislike the ones that are the equivalent of a dog marking a wall to tell all the other dogs he was there.

In fact, this weekend I had mentioned to a friend that I wished there was a gang out there who's territory was notable for lack of tagging and litter. We even discussed that perhaps their initiation rites might involve (since they would, of course, still be thugs at heart with a need to instill terror) kidnapping homeless in their domain, followed by giving them a thorough cleansing and new clothes before releasing them again. "Stay away from those clean freaks, man!" We even considered what their gang getup would be. We decided they would probably go for a plain white t-shirt with a gold hoop earring, a la Mr. Clean.

Okay, it got to be a silly conversation.

Strangely enough, yesterday while flipping through the Quick (a free newspaper filled with short, interesting blurbs from the main paper), there it was.

Granted, no Mr. Clean getups. And probably no terrorizing of people with excessive BO. But a vigilante anti-graffiti task force. Sweet!

Again, interesting

While taking a break from studies, I found the following quiz:

What punctuation are you?

Somehow, I'm not surprised to find out that I am the comma. And, apparently, I get along well with the question mark. Very, very spiff.

Learning when you're wrong


"And how is the universe going to correct me?"

"The universe generally shows us that we are wrong when it takes away what is most important to us: our friends."
