Immanetizing the Eschaton
19. I have superior powers of reasoning, oratory, mathematics, and most everything else. But don’t worry: I only use my powers for good, evil, and to show off. Like most people, I have a list of historical figures I plan…
F’ing with SEO
18. I once memorized pi to 1000 places. Actually, that’s not true, I memorized 20 places, then started making up numbers. Surprisingly, nobody called me on it. In the hopes of writing a slightly different post that the last one…
Unnecessary Qualifiers
17. When I was in high school, I would relentlessly tease a kid I couldn’t stand by giving him nicknames. I also teased people I really, really liked by giving them nicknames. The fact that I treated people I hated…
Oh, and I met an atheistic substance dualist
16. My parents got me a leather jacket for my 17th birthday. I became a vegetarian at age 18. I still wear that jacket. And no, it’s not hypocritical, damn it. Dear World, So, it turns out that one of…

Passing the Buck

What makes someone a good grad student
14. I admit it, damn it. I voted for Nader. And you know what: I’d do it again. You know why? Because I vote as an exercise in absurdity, not to elect any particular person. Even though I’ve only been…
Am I the only one that’s still posting every day?
13. I once lost a job because of something I wrote on my blog. Specifically, I called someone’s mustache ‘mysterious’ in a way that would imply derision. If I could go back, I’d do it all over again, but have…
Pros and Cons of staying in Seattle
12. I’ve wanted to go away to college since sixth grade. Partly for that reason, I’ve gone on exchange twice and moved on a whim a few more times. I like to consider myself a nomad (but with better hair).…
Iditarod, 2008
11. I can count the number of people I’ve kissed on one hand. Then again, I know sign language, so I can count to 999 on one hand. 🙂 So it may be more than 5, but it’s still a…
Garfield Minus Garfield
10. When I was ten, I thought about Superman and the movie Contact and wondered whether it was selfish for humans to assume that we were created in God’s image. It was a slippery slope from there. This just hilarious.1…

Visiting a first-grade class
8. I never learned my multiplication tables. I missed out on the grade that taught them: fourth grade. *sigh* I wonder what else I missed by skipping fourth grade. “Hey, lady, how do I know your child isn’t an ADULT…
I <3 My Mommy
7. I didn’t go to a “good college” after high school because my parents begged, threatened, and bribed me not to. Apparently, they were having some serious marital difficulties at the time and couldn’t bear the thought of me leaving…
I’m so sick of arguing about religion, I could puke with fury.
I’m so sick of arguing about religion, I could puke with fury. What the hell does this matter??
I’m such a devil
6. My brother lives in Fayetteville, NC. I have no idea what he does for a living. Soon, I will live in Durham, NC. While I don’t really get along with him, I’m nevertheless excited about getting to live near…
Pixelopolis
5. I have one brother. I call him Paco because that’s his name. At least that’s what it should be. It sounds cool. I also, say the DNA tests, have two half-sisters. Since I always round down, I’m going to…
