Pete's Log: For Great Different.

Entry #1211, (Life in General)
(posted when I was 23 years old.)

Relax. It's only life.

I gave a presentation in I/O class today. It went well. I had fun. And I was rewarded with a great ego boost. Yummy. Tastes kinda like tofu.

At some other point today, Andy and I were wandering around and found ourselves at Lafortune. I felt like watching people, but all the good tables for that purpose were occupied. So I decided that Andy and I should sit behind the table where various groups frequently hold information sessions or sign ups or whatever it is they do. I was hoping somebody would come tell us we can't sit there. Instead, it was fun to watch how people reacted to us sitting there with no materials to present.

For some time I've enjoyed the power trip that comes from running red lights when driving on empty roads in the middle of the night. But now I've finally found the courage to run red lights on campus at night. It's fun. Stupid lights should be switched to blinky mode after midnight anyway.

To clear up any of the apparent confusion generated by the sXe comment last time around, I offer my top ten reasons I've decided to quit consuming alcohol:

10. Aliens told me to.
9. Need to be in peak shape for D&D.
8. I'll be better able to keep myself in a state of cat-like readiness.
7. I'll probably sleep better.
6. Whenever possible, I desire to be more like Arun.
5. I can finally get one of those fashionable sXe tattoos.
4. I'll avoid unhealthy calories.
3. I'll save money.
2. I hope to better remember flirting with girls.
1. I'll have one less thing to worry about.

For those unaware, sXe is short for straight edge.
