Well, I’ve got 2-4, and currently sitting in a classroom on 5 right now. 6 will happen eventually, though I doubt 7 ever will.
1. Born rich
2. Awkward nerd elementary school3. Mall rat middle school (wasn’t a mall within hours of where i lived)4. Emo high school (that was just a few years before my time)5. Art student College (about this time sex is a major factor of self esteem booster, most likely sex with an older person or professor.) (private university art student… no sex allowed… at all)
6. Move to the big city (any town with a population over 1000 is considered a big city to me)7. ADD DRUGS AND DRINKING (VERY IMPORTANT!) (if coffee is considered a drug, then yes)8. Today’s Hipster.
glad to learn i am not a hipster… being an awkward grade schooler and moving out of the village simply means i escaped the frying pan for the fire…
in an escape from the bias and collectivism of wikipedia, i discovered and am enjoying the encyclopædia britannica’s blog. some of the interesting stories of the day include: Do Americans Support Capitalism, and Which Capitalism? and Starbucks Not the Answer for New York Freelancers. My favorite post so far is Creative Design (Space-Saving Coffee Lids).

// from seeds, i now have 18 pea plants, 18 pepper plants, 10 spinach plants, 18 cantaloupe, 20 cabbage… the rest are still germinating…
// i should reply to all the emails i’ve neglected… but every time i start, the kidlingers turn berserker & search for lands to plunder…
