Something that actually relates to an experience of mine.

So, I had to take all these pictures for class, using rule of thirds and such. I liked taking pictures that contrast man and nature, so I did that. In the commercial center of town there's these large areas of grass surrounded by road. I walked around there taking pictures of things that tickled my fancy. At one point, when I was more or less finished, I was at the edge of a parking lot for the local store, waiting for a dozen or so cars to pass, I was in no hurry, they probably were, so I forfeited my right of way. This whole time I was walking around, I kept waving to cars that passed nearby. I occasionally caught a glimpse of someone smiling and waving back, which made me feel good. So naturally I continued doing this for these dozen or so cars. Actually about eight of these cars, I noticed an arrow painted on the pavement to my right. I though that might be a cool picture, so I crouched down and got a more ants-eye-view perspective. At this time, a car was passing, so I swiveled and waved. Then a kid, probably at a age of about thirteen stuck his head out the window, and from what I guessed shouted "Weird." I sounded like "Eared", but I guessed that since ear is not a verb he must have meant that. I continued waving for a second, then began to study the arrow again. I continuously wonder what I feel about this boy's statement. I would believe I would be angry, but he's right, I am weird. I like that about myself. So I could take it as a compliment, but that was obviously not how it was intended. Very puzzling. It's also one of those opportunities where you'd imagine a sufficient comeback later on, but in this instance, he was is a car speeding past me, there would be no time; which in a way makes me happier it didn't affect me in any visible way immediately. I, in ways wish that said boy would have looked in a mirror, see my continue studying the arrow and waving to the next cars, and be angry, or have whomever was in the driver's seat chastise him even in some small way. I feel that I know the latter isn't true, but what can you do? It's quite the feeling though, randomly walking through a common area, almost completely devoid of other people, and waving at cars. I think I'll do it again some time. Maybe I'm weird, or maybe I'm just content.

#π: Ken Akamatsu is a god among the living.

No seriously, he is the greatest mind that humanity has ever seen. Screw civil rights activists and physicists, Love Hina is like if you took the Mona Lisa and fed it creativity steroids, whilst taking something of equal skill and mastery and training it from birth to be the most entertaining thing on the planet. And these things had a baby, which was then simultaneously blessed by Jesus, Muhammad, Flying Spaghetti Monster, and whatever other prophets you think are cool, including Chuck Norris. And then this baby was transformed into an inspiration that hit the most talented manga-ka on the planet. It's just that good. It's GODLY.

That Angst Thing

The problem with finishing something before others is you arrive at a mental dilemma; am I efficient or forgetful? That is to say am I more capable than others or did I miss something?

Yeah, seems soon but that's because this post is preemptive while the other was late. Tomorrow we plan to start every sentence we say with "Well...", and it's going to be awesome. There are exceptions of onomatopoeia and sentences that have like three or less words. I don't want to have to say "Well, what?" or "Well, ha ha ha ha ha ha (me laughing)."

#3: If you or someone else ever repairs a sports ball, that is not inflatable, from a state of no usability to a near premium condition, the person(s) responsible for the fix are entitled to draw a face on the ball.

This face can be as intricate as possible, but the owner of the ball, while they are not allowed to tell you you can't draw a face on the ball, must approve the design. The design also must be a face, but can elaborate as far as an entire head, or in the case the head of the creature is also the body, limbs are also allowed.

The following takes place in real time Friday, March 28th, 2008 from 8:27am-3:41pm. This week we ended every sentence in an upward infliction, which is probably impossible to recreate in text, so I won't try. Just keeping you imaginary guys in the loop.
