Aand the end! (You are exiled TO THE MOON.)

It also occurs to me now that I shouldn't have posted this so soon after posting my Yuletide letter because there are more people than usual ending up at my journal and oh gosh, guys, I am not always entirely insane, only when provoked! (Though I do turn reasonable things into treatises on gender a lot lately, so that part is probably true.)

Guh! I didn't have a chance to ask you questions! I SUCK AND AM A HYPOCRITE!

Dude, in event of a zombie attack, you're in Chicago. You probably don't have to worry, since you're right next to Michigan, which I think has more guns then people. And those people are ALL ABOUT guns. So chances are if the zombies even come close to you, they'll be completely taken care of within hours by the masses coming in from Detroit once they're all out of zombies to kill but still in the midst of their hockey-fan bloodlust.

If there are questions you want to ask, I will continue the voice post spam. Otherwise, I don't hold it against you. (-:

True! I just have to hold out long enough for the gun-toting militias of the northern US to come rescue me. Normally they probably wouldn't bother with Chicago, but as long as there was obvious zombie-whomping to be had I think they'd eventually turn their attention to it. I'll just have to hide everything I own so they won't shoot me on principle for being a hipster.

YES! I would like you to describe A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SURPRISE!RAPTOR!

For old time's sake.

It's so weird, idk, like, I've been all about the zombie apocalypse planning recently. I was sort of irritated by how 'in' zombies are right now, but whatever. It was something to think about on the drive from San Jose to Portland last month, and now I keep having dreams about it.

Awesome. This book is going to make MILLIONS BILLIONS SQUILLIONS!

Though I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around the Cosmic Transformation, despite your awesome Garrison Keillor impression. I just wish I knew the difference between a being and a Being. Which one am I? :/

One a lighter note, I'm psyched to learn that Detroit is totally going to pwn the Zombie!pocalypse! Oh, we are SO ready!

ELEVENTY SQUILLIONS!

That is why I try to stick to the simple terrestrial questions, like "what is the difference between a being and a Boeing?" That one I'm almost sure I can answer.

Also, fun fact: I tend to get emails on my iPod before they show up in my gmail for some reason, and its automatic calendar scheduling thing underlined "one am" in "Which one am I?", so I kept clicking it thinking you'd found some kind of personality quiz that'd tell me whether I was a capital-B Being or not, but it just kept bringing up the calendar until, three tries later, I realized it just thought you meant something was at one in the morning.

If only such a test existed! My spiritual quest would find its end.

I don't even know how I would look for such a test. However, in my search for the definition of a Being, I found all sorts of helpful thoughts, namely:

What is a human being? An acorn that is unafraid to destroy itself in growing into a tree. (source)

If the human being were visualized as a sphere, the ego would be like its surface, the heart would be its interior, and the Spirit would be its very center. (source)

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius locked in our "basements". (source)


And the kicker:

What is a Bridesmaid? What Does a Bridesmaid do? Being a Great Bridesmaid. (source)

What have I learned? That randomly capitalizing Words and/or putting them in "parentheses" makes whatever you say sound deep and philosophical.

Oh, and clearly the Universe is trying to tell me something, but I have no idea what it is.

Brb, I think I need to fetch the genius from the basement and spend the next few days musing on how there's not only the concept of closeted transhuman, there is also a shorthand symbol (http://www.aleph.se/Trans/Words/acronyms.html).

I KNEW I shouldn't have given you those links!

What really intrigues me is that there's Transhuman (>H) and then there's Posthuman (>>H) which is defined as "a very advanced transhuman." So the more advanced you are, the more >>> you get.

I'll bet you could show up on their messageboard using >>>>>>>H and really start some shit!
