People are Stupid

Today I lost all faith in humanity after reading a news article.

A man was running from the cops and he ditched his car and jumped a fence to try and get away. Problem is, the fence turned out to be the boundary of a prison yard.

True story.

You'd think the barbed wire would have tipped him off. I'm so disillusioned with my kind.

nightmares

The other day I learned that sometimes the most random household objects can provoke unpleasant dreams. This is weird, because I'm fairly well convinced that most people aren't freaked out by bars of soap. But I have this odd "natural lemon-scented" soap that Klepacki gave me. And it dries in a really funny way, apparently--it gets cracks all down it. For some reason, this struck me as really creepy. And so I dreamed about it. The soap was a doorway to hell and demon monster things emerged from the cracks. I now keep a careful eye on my soap whenever I shower.

10 page paper

What would happen if I were to just hand in 10 blank pieces of paper for an assignment? I'd include a title page, of course...

Someone else try this and let me know. I'm too afraid.

color-blind

I was thinking yesterday how weird it would be to be color blind. The idea is just so alien to me. The more I thought about it, the more freaky it seemed. Then I opened my computer- and I couldn't see any color!!

Needless to say, I was totally freaked out. Until I realized that the desktop background on my computer is a black and white picture.

Color vision: still safe. PTL.

so jealous.

Today I was sitting in a lecture and looked out the window.

there was a group of people standing on the neighboring roof staring down at me through the window. I have no idea what they were doing there. But at the same time, I wonder what the heck I was doing in here.

Now don't get me wrong. The lecture was great...but still.

I'd rather be on the roof.

humans and our problems

Today I realized how funny people's problems are. I mean not FUNNY, but ironic. Example:

as I was checking my mailbox, my friend came up to me and asked for help with her computer-it was stuck shut. After a bit of jiggling with my dad's old cub scout knife, it popped open. Then later, another friend asked if I could help her with her computer - it wouldn't close.

Problems are all relative, I suppose.

I wonder if my friends would be happy if they just switched computers.
