The Winter of My Discontent

Total number of times people have assumed I'm gay since starting to write here: 8 and counting...

Name:
Location: Everett, Washington, United States

I am a dedicated futurist and a strong supporter of the transhumanist movement. For those who know what it means, I am usually described as a "Lawful Evil" with strong tendencies toward "Lawful Neutral." Any apparent tendencies toward the 'good' side of the spectrum can be explained by the phrase: "A rising tide lifts all boats."

Why it is good to check your assumptions first

Today is a friend's birthday. Normally, I have one class with her on Tuesdays, and it is in the afternoon. I assumed I would see her this afternoon in class, so I spent my 2.5 hour break in between classes making cookies as a birthday present instead of preparing for tax law (thus necessitating that I skip tax law as I am pretty sure I will be called on today). After slaving in front of the stove with several versions of a new type of cookie (vanilla cookie with caramel, chocolate, and coconut) to try to get it right, I bring a plate of them and a personalized card to class only to discover that she has taken her birthday off from the elf's playful wrath. Sigh. I should have asked her if she'd be there when I saw her this morning.

And MS? Your hair did not in the least look poofy. It looked delightful. I'm sure K-$ will tell you the same thing.

Sorry I wasn't in class--I left my cell phone at the Olive Garden and had to wait around forever for them to go and get it. I appreciate your birthday wishes and know I will enjoy the cookies (if I still get them).
