So you have a TI-83? Want a new cover? I have one that's a translucent yellow. It makes your calculator look cool for all you "import calculator tuners" that I know lurk around here. But here's the catch: you have 24 hours from now to claim it. Give me a shout pronto, or else it's going in the closet as I leave.

So have some pictures!

I am a Centrist
Centrists favor selective government intervention and emphasize practical solutions to current problems. They tend to keep an open mind on new issues. Many centrists feel that government serves as a check on excessive liberty.

Basically, I'm in the middle of that little Centrists square but slightly to the left. So now the Internet supports my stand: I swing just barely to the left.

So Erin wrote this and I think it should be quoted here:

I am personally damned excited about rushing and I'd rather not hear anymore crap from anyone about how stereotypical, lame, loose-moraled, stupid, conforming, and horrible it is to want to go greek. I'm not even directing this at anyone in particular, because I've gotten that crap from just about everyone recently. I'd just like to point out that I would never trash anything anyone else wanted to do. I have pretty rock-hard beliefs in just about anything and if you'd care to discuss it, I'm more than willing. *end rant*.

I'm not stirring up controversy on this one, I'm just trying to get everyone to a friendly conclusion. Yes, I'm naturally averse to greeks. Yes, it's because of the exact stereotype that Erin just described. Like any stereotype, this one has its exceptions and those people know who they are. I think it boils down to an issue of trust: I can't rely on the stereotypical lame loose-moraled stupid conformists. Nor do I find them interesting. So, dear Erin, have fun. I probably won't like the vast majority of your housemates but I still like ya, chica.

Yes! A great 25 pictures came out of the last hurrah for the SSB crew, as we came to be known. For the occasion, I created a new site: files.snagger.org takes you to my hosted webspace with Comcast, where I've stuck up the pictures for now. Hopefully once Aroon/Nick get settled in at their respective institutions I can move that over to one of their servers, but this will do for now. So if you went to Quakecon, click here to reminisce with me over the times we had. Or if you didn't go, go see what it looked like and what sleep deprivation and caffeine can do for you.
