My results from the Art Test: "You are Heironymous Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. You are decadent and depraved. You have an eye for small details and love to fit in as much hedonistic pleasure as possible in everything you do. You buck authority and are not afraid to make a statement outside approved channels." This is funny because it's almost oddly accurate, and we have the poster in our living room. Usually I don't like dumb Web tests (I swear!) but I felt I had to let you know about this one.

Update: My apartment has been slammed. Bastards. Everyone was all in a tizzy because the long distance didn't work, and it was because Powercom decided to sign us up for *their* long distance and cancel our *real* long distance.

Update: Paper done. Whew. Bad. Bad bad. Forgot about supposed "journal" entries we also had to turn in today. Remembered at 3. Office closed at four. Note to prof: I hate you. I hate Northwestern. I'm taking the dog.

Signs that I don't want to write this paper: 1) I cleaned out my in-box. 2) I googled myself. 3) I googled other people. 4) I changed clothes twice. 5) I am posting this.

Signs it's gonna be a long road: 1) I ran for 18 minutes and was completely exhausted. 2) I balanced my running with a hefty dose of Fritos, peanut butter cups and Ben 'n Jerry's, for paper-writing fuel, of course.

Funny thing: People looking into studying abroad in Denmark have e-mailed me about how I liked it... and I referred them to this page's archives. I re-read a bit just to see what they were looking at, because both of the people really seemed to be psyched after reading the page. How do I tell them that if they throw roll fruit off the roof of D.I.S., wander around after midnight in search of a swingset, sled with an 8-year-old, sing "I Will Survive" at a bus stop, search madly for a Blockbuster Video that carries Empire Records, stay up all night watching two boys play chess and attempt to make maple syrup brownies, they will have a wonderful time? They'd think I was crazy. But you can't size up the future, check its measurements and see if you want it based on facts and figures. It's all about the accidental.

Update: I'm running a marathon in April. (Yes. Yes I am.) I've been inspired by watching the Chicago marathon and the success of Sarah Z. and Amanda, plus I want to banish the demons of gym classes past. Bring it on. Barring natural disaster (which could happen, what with my bad knees and impaired breathing ability), I'm doing it.

Update: So today two of my roommates and I hosted a radio show, from 8-10am. We were supposed to be making and selling pancakes to raise money for the American Heart Association, but no one bought any. In fact, I highly doubt anyone even listened. But we still had a good time -- with dramatic readings from the script of the Breakfast Club and singing along to Blues Traveler.

"neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass" -- On a scrap of paper I found while walking today (also part of a poem called Desiderata)

Story that has me scared: Temporary Insanity. So, this girl can't find a job... does that mean I won't find a job? Will I end up a temp? After all this?
