The very thought of you makes/My heart sing/Like an April breeze/On the wings of spring/And you appear in all your splendor/My one and only love
8
now I’ve had lots of girls/most of them from other worlds/but lookin through the galaxey/the valley girls are the ones for me
9
I’m the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion/the clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing/so what’s the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?/it’s kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he’s making
4

Yo Dawg I Herd U Like Surveys in Your Blogs
So I put questions about your blog in a survey so you can blog about your blog when you post the survey.
Or something like that.
1. Why did you sign up for writing your blog?
Peer pressure. Seriously.
2. Why did you choose your blog’s name?
I used to be Le Seul Mot Juste, but Eigenblogger is just so much more…me. You know?
3. Do you ever had another blog?
Excellent English. No I haven’t, unless you count MySpace. Which I don’t, ‘cause this is the same thing. I just moved it over.
4. What do you do online when you’re not on your blog?
Oh god…Tumblr. YouTube. Ted Talks. Wikipedia. Job hunting. Stats research. StumbleUpon.
5. How about when you’re not on the computer?
I get off the computer?
6. What do you wish people who read your blog knew about you?
That I tend to write and post my blogs when it’s like 4:30 in the morning and I’m half asleep. At that time of night (morning?) my ability to write cohesive sentences is at it’s lowest and I’m a lazy butt who never proofreads anything, so that’s my explanation for about 99% of the typos/nonsensical sentences/lack of interpretable phrases. Sometimes I accidentally my posts.
7. What is your favorite community in the blogosphere?
The blogosphere itself! Though the R community is awesome. We need each other.
8. What is your philosophy on your blog layout?
I’d like my individual posts to be “separated.” By that, I mean that I’d like a break in whatever color/box houses the body text of each blog. I’d like there to be only one side menu. I’d like to be able to customize the colors and the header. I’d like the title to be an obviously different style than the body text. Actually, I like my current blog layout quite a lot.
9. Tell me about your picture you use to represent you on your blog.
It’s one of the few pictures of me where I don’t look up to my usual standards of hideousness.
10. Pick three random blogs posts and tell us about them.
Random post button, ACTIVATE!
I miss my artsy-fartsy childhood sometimes: I talk about the Art Camp I used to religiously attend as a kid and rave about Dogwood Ceramic Supply.
LEIBNIZ DAY: I get overly appropriately excited for Leibniz’ birthday.
In this blog: I attempt to sell a ShamWow to Superman: exactly what it sounds like.
11. What features do you think your blog should have that it doesn’t currently?
I’d like to be more in control of the colors. I know that’s not really a feature feature, but it matters to me. A lot.
12. What do you consider the 10 most “telling” interests that we would infer from what you blog about?
Statistics, Leibniz, surveys, weird pictures, YouTube videos, colors, drawing, making lists, music, R.
13. Do you have any unique interests that you have never shared before? What are they?
Yes. But I’m not telling. HA.
14. The best thing about blogging is all of the friends that you make. Beside from those folks, do you think your blog has fans?
I’ve got seven followers. I know two of them personally. Either one of these fellows is from Ohio, or I’ve got a random creeper who lives there, ‘cause aside from Idaho it’s the state from which I’ve had the most visitors (hello, Ohio Creeper!). Ohio Creeper would be a good band name. Or a plant.
What was the question?
Oh, yeah. Fans. I really have no idea. I jump around topics so much that this is probably the least focused blog ever; I don’t see many people liking that style. I like it in other blogs, but I’m strange.
15. What’s your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
I guess it’s R, though that’s not really “current.” I really like trying to figure out how to write code for various things, especially things for which commands already exist. It’s fun!
16. What are you glad you did but haven’t really had a chance to post about?
Something way back when. It’s private, hence my not posting much about it.
17. How many people that first became a blog friend, have you met face to face?
No blog friends! Forever alone.
18. What don’t you talk about here, either because it’s too personal or because you don’t have the energy?
I try to avoid talking about my mental health (or lack thereof). The little bit that does get through is just the occasional blah-blah that I have to get out if I want to avoid spontaneously combusting.
19. What’s a question that you’d love to answer?
I don’t know, how ‘bout someone ask me?
20. Have you ever lost a blogging friendship and regretted it?
I don’t think I’ve ever really *made* a blogging friendship.
21. Have you ever lost a blogging friendship and thought, “Was that overdue!”
See above.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaablog
I want Saturday to be here NOW. Survey to help pass the time.
1. Which TV character do you think you are most like?
I have no idea. I don’t think I watch enough TV (or at least a wide enough variety) to find a character I’m like.
2) What time do you go to bed?
As late (early?) as possible while still being able to get up for exercise before work. So around 3 to 4 AM.
3) What was the last meal you made from scratch?
Does salad count? I chop everything up myself, I never buy the little kits.
4) What is your favorite type of music?
Anything with a monster beat and a good chorus. Lyrics don’t really matter.
5) In what position do you sleep?
On my right side. Though I usually FALL asleep on my back.
6) What is your first memory?
I remember getting chicken pox, but I don’t know if that’s my earliest memory. I also remember sticking these letter stickers all over EVERYTHING in one of our first houses. Don’t remember my age then either, though.
7) What is your least favorite smell?
Couldn’t tell you that one.
8) It’s your round at the pub and your friends asked you to surprise them. What drink would you buy and why?
Vodka gimlets. Aside from those Smirnoff apple-flavored thingies, this was the only alcoholic thing I’ve ever liked.
9) What was the last thing you read/watched that made you cry?
I can’t remember, believe it or not.
10) They say that you learn something new every day. What was the last thing you have learned?
A new function in R. Had to create a vector of randomized numbers in between two specific values.
11) Which Literary love interests would you snog, marry and avoid.
Snog: Jay Gatsby
Marry: Phileas Fogg
Avoid: Hmm…that’s a tough one.
13) Paperback, Hardback or e-reader? Which of these is your favorite reading format and why?
Paperback. Though I’ve never actually tried an e-reader. Hardbacks are heavy/awkward and I always end up wrecking the dust jacket. Paperbacks are light, easy to carry around, and I don’t have to be paranoid about breaking them (at least easily).
14) If you could bring back any canceled TV series for another run what would you pick and why?
Chicago Hope, ‘cause that show was AWESOME and unfortunately got overshadowed by ER back in the day.
Survatorium
That’s Latin for “oh god, when the hell is Claudia going to be done with this infernal 5,000 question survey?” (Answer: soon, young followers. Soon.)
3701. If you HAD to do your holiday shopping for EVERYONE in only ONE store what store would you pick?
The Dollar Store. Totally. Who doesn’t want glow sticks for a present? Communists, that’s who.
3702. What’s more annoying: the person in front of you driving ten miles under the speed limit on a regular day OR a person who cuts you off doing 10 miles over the speed limit on a stormy day?
Depends. Is it a 2+ lane road? If so, then the person speeding their butt off is more annoying. But if there’s only one lane and you can only pass like every 10 miles, then the person going slowly is obnoxious as hell.
3703. Define the word TIME without using the word time in the definition.
It’s a magazine!
3704. What old cartoons do you remember watching?
How old is old? I remember: Talespin, Eek!, 2 Stupid Dogs, Johnny Bravo, Dexter’s Lab, Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy. Some of those are quite a bit older than others.
3705. Do you think that people care only about the people they know personally or do most people care about all people?
I think we do have an ability to care for all people, especially when we’re reminded of our own humanity when natural disasters strike.
Why do you think people feel that way?
As obnoxious, selfish, and egocentric as we all seem, we’re all human. We care about our species.
3706. Are you more like Bra,k Zorak, or Space ghost and why?
Oh god, flashbacks to watching Space Ghost Coast to Coast and being too young to understand what the hell was going on. So I’m not really sure.
3707. Would you rather see the movie first and then read the book or read the book and then see the movie?
I’d rather just read the book. Most movies ruin something or other that’s important.
3708. Do you own any audio books?
They’re not technically audio books…
What?
I own a 2 hour long recording of brown noise. I own Brian Regan’s LIVE! and a recording of his I Walked on the Moon. OH HOLY FREAKING CRAP I just realized now that I’ve got 500 GB of external hard drive, I can finally download The Great Gatsby as audio. I adore that book.
3709. Why are things the way they are?
Deterministic universe!
3710. Do you believe that guns don’t kill people and that people kill people?
Yes.
Why?
Because ascribing the ability to kill to inanimate objects that would NOT kill unless acted upon is stupid. For example, snow doesn’t kill people, but snow acted upon by forces causing mass amounts of it to barrel down a slope in an avalanche does (assuming there are people below it, of course).
3711. What is the best way you can think of to prevent murder?
Stop killing people. GENIUS!
3712. Why is it that in the USA thousands of people are murdered with a gun each year while in Canada only a handful of people are murdered with a gun each year?
Because the entire population of Canada is roughly equivalent to the population of California. I wonder if the gun murder rates would be closer if the populations were more similar.
Incidentally, have you ever been to Surrey? That’s where probably 90% of Canada’s gun murders occur.
Sure sounds like the USA is doing something wrong, but what?
MAKIN’ BABIES! Also Republicans.
3713. Is there a difference between really being yourself and just being automatic and acting on whims?
If you’re not yourself on “automatic pilot,” who are you?
3714. Have you ever strolled through a graveyard?
Yes.
In the dark?
Yes. My apartment was practically surrounded by graveyard in Vancouver. Canadian ghosts, eh?
3715. What is the difference between a good poem and a bad one?
I don’t like poetry.
3716. Who really cares about anything?
Me.
Do you?
I just told you!
Do you let it show, all the time?
That would be indecent.
3717. Do you live with passion?
Sometimes. Sometimes I have no will to live at all.
3718. Do you talk to squirrels?
I don’t like squirrels.
3719. Do you kick up leaves?
Fall is fun.
3720. Which do you need more: sugar, caffeine, alcohol, drugs, sex, sleep?
I don’t think any of these would help me out.
3721. What images do you get from the phrase ‘human subway’?
A flashback to a Craigslist personal I read in 2009 in which a guy was describing how much he hated women’s personal ads because they all listed qualities they were looking for in a dude as if they were building a man at Subway’s “create a man” station.
3722. Joe Strummer died. Are you sad?
Should I know who that is?
Do you have a fond memory of him to share?
Obviously not.
3723. If you are a guy are circumcised?
Not a dude.
If you are a girl which do you prefer circumcised or not?
Um…I don’t know.
3724. Does it bother you that in the USA you will be tracked based on what web sites you visit, what online purchases you make and your email will be read by the government?
It bothers me, but doesn’t surprise me. Worse things could be happening.
3725. Have you ever checked out the online personals?
Indeed. Scary things be on teh internets.
3726. What do you crave?
Excitement, awesome data, awesome data analyses, sugar.
3727. On a scale of 1-10 how tough are you?
Physically? 8.
3728. On a scale of 1-10 how tender are you?
3?
3729. On a scale of 1-10 how good are you?
8.
3730. On a scale of 1-10 how evil are you?
I hope a 1.
3731. What would make a cool coffee table book?
“1,001 Pictures of Naked Leibniz Doing Calculus”
3732. What’s the most interesting conversation piece in your home?
To me? My mega stats book of awesomeness. To others? Probably the TV. It’s big.
3733. If you could get on the mall loud speaker on christmas eve you would say, ‘Attention holiday shoppers:
“Why are you still shopping on Christmas Eve? Go home and ‘nog it up!”
3734. What are you on the outside of looking into?

Hahaha what?
3736. Who is someone you know should deserve more respect?

3737. Does the end ever justify violence as a means?
I don’t know, really. I don’t think I could know from my experience.
3738. Care about everything, or care about nothing? Which would be worse?
Caring about nothing.
3739. Why do so many people on the internet pretend to be pregnant?
Um…I had no idea this was an issue.
3740. Have you ever been the diary Hicks or Brian (same guy, Hicks is the old diary, Brian is the current one)?
I’m assuming you’re wanting to actually ask if I’ve read it, not if I’ve been it. Either way, no.

I wanted to be quirky so I watched the ball drop on TV while standing on my head.

Probably just watched the ball drop on TV. Again. I live an exciting and fulfilling life, I do.
3742. You know the Def Leopard song, ‘Love Bites’?

I don’t know, I’ve never heard it.

3700. Do you like those plastic couch coverings?
Haha, I’m pretty indifferent to them.
Run for your life, it’s a survey!
1. Food
I love broccoli. Like, seriously. Way more than is probably healthy.
I hate it when I have multiple different food items on a plate and they touch.
My guilty secret is something that I’m not going to tell! Haha.
2. Apparel
I love unusual clothing, both physical shape-wise and color.
I hate pants that are labeled “small” or “petite” but still go like seven inches past my ankles. Guess what, clothes manufacturers? The majority of people buying “petite”? We’re also pretty short.
My guilty secret is enjoying dressing in all black when go exercise.
3. Books
I love Lolita. So much. Mr. Vladimir Nabokov seduces the English language to the point where it bends to his every whim.
I hate when people say they hate a book because they’d been “forced” to read in high school. Any book you’re forced to read you’re bound to hate, I think. People should give those high school books a second chance (people who despise The Great Gatsby because they were forced to read it in high school: I’m looking at you!).
My guilty secret is that I’d totally reread the entire Babysitter’s Club series if I had the books. I freaking loved those.
4. Songs
I love songs for their beat/rhythm, almost never for their lyrics. A song can have the weirdest/most nonsensical/stupidest lyrics ever…if it has a fantastic beat, I’ll love it.
I hate people who judge others based on their musical tastes. We’ve been over this, but I’m saying it again.
My guilty secret is nothing! Music is music.
5. Movie
I love incredibly unscientific disaster movies. They’re awesome. Volcano, Dante’s Peak, Armageddon, Atomic Train (which I can’t find ANYWHERE. WHY has this movie not gotten Academy Awards?).
I hate “going to the movies” as a date idea. Seriously? Unless you’re planning it as a super long and semi-public make out session, could there be a worse choice for a date?
My guilty secret is getting overly upset when people misquote movies. I don’t like them in general and I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about them, but movies that I’ve seen have their audio automatically downloaded to my brain for future reference.
6. TV Shows
I love Metalocalypse. It’s like the dumbest show ever, but I think that’s what makes it so good. It doesn’t seem like the type of show I’d watch because it’s really not. I caught the end of one episode on Adult Swim way back when and thought it was super dumb, but then another ep came on and I was like, “the level of hyperbole achieved in parodying serious metal culture in this show is fantastic. I love it.”
I hate all those new shows that seem to all be slightly different variations of one another. I can’t even name specific ones because they all are the same damn show.
My guilty secret is The Biggest Loser. It’s an interesting concept for a TV show and, despite all the controversy surrounding the gameplay/tactics/health risks/etc., I think it’s a good motivator for a number of people.
7. Celebrity Crush
I love Leibniz. He’s as close to a “celebrity” as we’re going to get for me. I don’t have a crush on any celebrity that’s alive.
I hate how obsessed we are with celebrities’ lives. Oooh, Brad and Angelina finally became a single unit? WHO CARES? Go read a book.
My guilty secret is enjoying the fancy-shmancy dresses all the celeb ladies wear to stuff like the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
8. Music
I love music that is hardwired to certain memories. Like this song. And this one. Even though I have no idea where I’d heard it before we played it in high school band, it is very, very familiar to me.
I hate music that doesn’t have a good chorus, rhythm, or hook. I don’t care how meaningful the lyrics are…if I can’t get into the groove, I can’t enjoy the song.
My guilty secret is pretending to actually be a rock star when playing Rock Band. Oh come on, you can’t tell me you haven’t done it, too.
9. Sports Team
I love the Olympics. That’s about as close to a “sports team” as you’ll get from me.
I hate the fact that professional athletes get paid such exorbitant amounts.
My guilty secret is enjoying playing group sports. I don’t like watching stuff like basketball and football, but throw me on a team (like in P.E.) or let us play rollerblade hockey and I’ll get into it more than anyone would guess.
Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang, GET OUT OF MY HEAD
I WILL finish this damn thing!
3501. Is ‘no glove, no love’ your STRICT policy?
If there were ever to be ‘love’, yes.
3502. What is the best Epic movie (examples of epics: ben-her, gone with the wind, last temptation of christ)?
Tremors. Tremors totally counts.
3503. Finish the sentance.
Hey, Hey we’re the: guys in the diamond
People say we: paint the stars
But we’re too busy: drawing a bath
The time to hesitate is: later
You’re too: existential for those pants

3504. Have you ever had ‘missing time’?
Huh?
3505. Have you ever sent an electronic greeting?

Why does Rule 34 spring to my mind?

God, who freaking knows.
3509. Do you eat too much sugar?
I do, unfortunately.
3510. Imagine you have a band. Let’s name your band.
Adjective: Inconsequential
Animal(plural): Lizards

Probably.
Let’s try again.
Adjective:
Octogenarian
Noun (plural): Stencils

Octogenarian Stencils with Puppets
3511. Are you desperate but not serious?
I’m seriously desperate. Desperately serious?
3512. Was there a time when you were younger and it took less to get you excited?
I’m perpetually three years old when it comes to my ability to become excited about stuff.
3513. Remember learning to write in elementary school?
Indeed I do.
We spend 2 years learning to print..then they throw that out the window and teach kids cursive. Why?
Because we’re dumb. I actually remember learning to write cursive more than learning print.
If cursive is so important and easy to read then why aren’t books printed in cursive?
Because books aren’t dumb.
Why aren’t cursive computer fonts more popular?
I think cursive looks ugly, personally.
Why do buisness forms always say ‘please print’?
Because who can read crazy cursive, anyway?
Schools are so preoccupied with teaching kids the complicated but traditional skill of cursive writing that more emphasis is put on that than on teaching kids how to clearly express their ideas through writing. I move that cursive writing become a jr. high school elective instead of a grammer school priority. Who’s with me?
Damn straight!
3514. Can you think of anything else (besides cursive writing) that is unhelpful, or unuseful, yet traditional and unquestioned? What?
Back in elementary school I always thought the amount of emphasis the teachers put on estimation (in math) was a little excessive.
3515. Name one female celebrity who you would guess wears size ___ clothing:
0?

5?
Scarlet Johannsen? Not even sure how her last name is spelled. Totally not a celebrity person.
12?
Kate Winslet?
16?
Queen Latifah?
20?
That one lady on that really popular show. I can’t think of her name or the name of that show, but maybe you know what I’m talking about.
3516. Have you ever been to a place where the restrooms were named in a clever way rather than just saying men’s and woman’s? I’ve seen Hens and Roosters, Bart and Lisa, Dudes and Babes…what have you seen?
Possibly, but I can’t remember.
3517. What is the ‘message’ or ‘point behind’:
Fight Club?
Donnie Darko?

A strange little temperature scale.
3521. Tell us about yourself in the third person for a bit:
Claudia is a strange being who likes statistics way too much.
3522. If someone breaks a law, should they be punished if they did not know it was a law?
It depends, I think. If the law is an obscure one that really isn’t promoted as a law/upheld strictly, then I think they should be let off. More serious laws, however…
3523. If it’s so much easier to learn languages when we are very young (and it is, something to do with the developing brain) why do they wait until jr high and high school to teach them?
Because our education system is screwed.
3524. Name a band you sort of like:
Muse
You are wearing that band’s t-shirt in a store. SUDDENLY some guy you don’t know comes up to you and goes, “Hey! You like (insert name of the band here)??!!”This is obviously a really stupid question because if you didn’t like them you wouldn’t be wearing the t-shirt. Your witty reply is:
I’d probably just say “yeah, I do.” Questions like that aren’t worth snarkiness in my opinion.
3525. If you were organizing cd’s in a music store what section would you put each of the following in (don’t forget the ‘bargain bin’ section!):

Song #3
Artist: Imogen Heap
Title: Hide and Seek
What is the chorus of this song? “hide and seek / trains and sewing machines / all those years / they were here first”

If this song title was a movie title, what would the movie be about? It would probably be some sort of psychological thriller with a criminal mastermind/murderer or something.
Song # 5
Artist: The Avalanches
Title: Frontier Psychiatrist
What is the most offensive/vulgar lyric in this song? None of the lyrics are offensive/vulgar. “Buttocks” is mentioned once, though. Racy!

Does that lyric remind you of a situation you’ve been in? Ha. Yes.

What is the 8th lyric in this song? “I don’t need to be kind to the armies of night that would do such injustice to you”
What if there was a restaurant named from the 1st and 5th word of that lyric: “I Be.” Sounds like some sort of existential diner.

Is that the best lyric in the song? It’s the most impactful, in my opinion.

Voltaire’s Candide. I think it was such an impactful book in part because it was the first book I read in a class that put it into context—historically, artistically, politically, and culturally. It just made it that much more interesting. Plus it’s Voltaire, man, seriously.
11. Why do you blog?
It keeps me sane, believe it or not.

My USB drive with all my stuff on it (drawings, writing, music, blogs, pictures, etc.).

3041-3045 These question is for the guys
You are at her home with her. Both of you have drank a little wine, enough to loosen the inhibitions while not getting tipsy. You have snugled on the couch and it’s a good time for bed. You’ve been romantic, but you’ve not made any big moves on her. You’re not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if she’s in the mood.
She goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable… When she returns she is wearing an outfit that looks great on her and you notice that she has her hands tied in front of her, with a scrunchee…
She stands in front of you and giggles nerviously. You search for words to express how you feel, but before you can get any words out she gets on her knees in front of you and reachs out to hold your hand with both of hers. Your eyes find hers…
3041. How do you react to this?

He goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable… When he returns she is wearing an outfit that looks great on him. He sits next to you. You kiss and kiss. You move your hands down his body to his chest and start unbuttoning his shirt but he stops you and whispers seductively..’A good slave unbuttons them with her teeth..and you do want to be my slave, don’t you?’
3046. What do you do?
Laugh to see if he’s serious.

The pen is mightier than…the pants
An idle mind is…wasting gas
Where there is smoke, there’s…Smokey the Bear having a panic attack
Happy is the bride who…doesn’t trip down the aisle?
Two is company, three’s…the only prime number that is 1 less than a perfect square number.

It was a very posh affair. they served roast woolly mamoth steaks, the rarest meat in all the world. So, if you were invited, would you have eaten it?
I don’t think I would have solely because I don’t think I would appreciate it. My taste is compromised by my lack of smell to the extent that all meat tastes the same to me. The only way I can tell, for example, turkey from ground beef is the texture difference.

I felt pretty alienated up in Van Land, but no, in general it’s not that bad.

Red!
Picture a square. Quick! What color is it?
Baby pink.
Picture a circle. Quick! What color is it?
Light blue
Why do you think you saw these shapes as these colors?
Triangle = red because triangles are strong shapes (architecturally speaking) and strength is associated with warm colors to me. Square = baby pink because squares strike me as comforting, safe shapes and baby pink is a very safe color. Circle = light blue because circles are the “lazy” shape and laziness is associated with the cool colors for me.
2661. What things are endless?
INFINITY!
2662. Are you ever subtle?
HAHA.
2663. Because we don’t know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really.

Would you take this to mean that the same courses should be offered to both girls and boys or that the same amount of money should be spent on each school?

I was walking sdown one side of the sidewalk and across the street I saw this lady’s grocery bag break and all her groceries spill out on the sidewalk. A pair of dudes walking the other way stopped to help her out. I think one guy had his stuff double-bagged and actually gave her the extra bag.
