On What Life Is...
Posted Feb 5, 2002
I think I'm beginning to come to a unified theory on this one. There are many things in life. Or, to be more accurate, there are /too/ many things in life. And every day, every decision you make, is deciding _between_ things. In deciding these things, you decide - in some, possibly minute, way - who you are. And if you look at these decisions, you find yourself. And to find yourself is to find the meaning of your life. But there's always more to decide, and there's always more to find out about yourself. And in the end that _is_ the purpose of life. To find yourself.
So remember that, when you're running out of time. If we had all the time in the world, we'd never find a purpose. Because if we had time, we'd choose everything and nothing. And we'd never know who we could be.
Time: The healer of wounds.
Time: The sealer of fates.
Time: The stealer of pland.
Time: The maker of who we are.

You know it's time to be scared when...

...you're not sure which bits of last week were real, and which you dreamt 
not because the dreams were realistic
but because the reality was so odd...
In fact I'm having difficulty keeping track of reality in general right now: I have a girlfriend who lives 110.3 miles away who I never get to see; I'm at university; I know lots of people vaguely, but I get the distinct feeling that no-one would actually notice if I just disappeared for a bit; I have work I should be doing; I have things to organise; everyone else is talking about what they're doing NEXT year, and I'm not even sure I've caught up with this one yet...
Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing here...
Sometimes I wonder where I am
Mostly I just wander around...

Even better than I didn't know what to expect....
Posted Jan 27, 2002
A few weeks ago (actually, quite a few weeks ago...) my girlfriend (Lifson Kofie) told me she was going to the London h2g2 meet, and would I like to come? "," said I, "maybe...".
I thought this seemed like a bit of an odd thing to do. As it happens, I still do, although (unless I dreamt it) I did go... 
Yes, I really did spend a day going round London with a bunch of essentially complete strangers, trying to take photos of each other in bizarre places / etc. [I _dreamt_ of tube stations last night]
And yes, I really did enjoy chatting to people who I only knew obscure pseudonyms of (if that!)
So thank you 
- thanks to Bassman & son, FashionCat, Demon Drawer, Ashley, Lifson & family for being with me on the Scavenger hunt (did we win? did we win?)
- thanks to Lifson for talking me into going in the first place.
- thanks also to Lifson's mum (EvilMother?) for letting her come/bringing her (and for the 
)
- thanks to Tube, willy, Croz, Clive the Flying Ostrich and loads of people I can't remember this minute for being mad, but being mad with me!
- thanks to GalaxyBabe, Mina/Linda, and The Fish for being exceptionally nice to me
- thanks to the italics (and anyone else) for organising it, and (presumably) the BBC for paying for it
- but most of all thanks to all of you - whether you came or not - for making h2g2 such a wonderful and friendly community! Yesterday really brought home to me what a thoroughly nice atmosphere this community has. Long may it last.
To Us!

Sleep, and why people do it!
Posted Nov 24, 2001
The other day I suddenly had this brilliant idea that maybe the reason I was so tired and feeling so *h*t all the time was because I was never getting to sleep any earlier than 2AM since the beginning of term. This was a new experience to me, since I've never really had little enough sleep to notice this phenomenon before.
I'm also, rather awkwardly, getting better at shopping - awkwardly since I am now a student, and therefore don't really have any money to spend on shopping any more...
Hmmm, this being a normal human being lark is more complicated than I thought!
