Apollo 13 is pretty amazing.
612. Which would you choose to be back in the day: a warrior, an alchemist, a minstrel, a bard, an oracle, a peasant, or a merchant?
DUDE A BARD.
613. What is your favorite song lyric?
When we’re young we set our hearts upon some beautiful idea
Maybe something from a holy book or French philosophia
Upon the thoughts of better men than us we swear by and decree a
Perfect way to end the war of ways the only way to be a…
Work of art, oh to be a work of art
But in time a thought comes tugging on the sleeve edge of our minds
Perhaps no perfect way exists at all, just many different kinds
Oh but if it’s just a thing of taste then everything unwinds
For without an absolute how can the absolute define…
A work of art, oh to be a work of art
It’s the whole song, not just a lyric. Bite me.
614. What will you never run out of?
Stupid puns.
615. If you could force someone to fall madly in love with you, (anyone you choose) would you do it?

I like to think my brand of humor makes me interesting. I also hope that my interests make me interesting, but who knows.
625. What makes other people interesting to you?
People are inherently weirdos. That fascinates me, particularly when combined with the fact that people inherently don’t want others to see them as weirdos and thus try to act certain wais in the public eye.

Depends on what you’re suggesting. No, I won’t change my bangs. No, I won’t shut up about Leibniz. No, I won’t stop extolling the virtues of R.

Part V

You can categorize ANYTHING!!
407. Is it good to have pride in your own race or does that separate people from each other because it makes them think of everyone else as ‘outsiders’?
There’s a difference between pride and arrogance, and I think a lot of problems stem from people not knowing the difference, especially with race.
We also tend to take ourselves way too seriously.

OOOH The Caine Mutiny! LOVE that story.
409. Are cats or dogs smarter?
Cats!

I’d say taking 25 credits is pretty brave.

FAILURE TASTES LIKE DIAMONDS

14. I think I’m the only person in Canada who doesn’t see what the big deal is about Nutella.
15. Jules Verne is the only science fiction I need (or tolerate).
The meaning behind your WordPress name.
“Eigen” is a prefix from the German “eigen” which means “own” or “idiosyncratic.” I figure “eigenblogger” is quite an appropriate term for what I’ve been doing here for the past 1 ½ years.
A picture of you and your friends.
Old pic from high school:

A habit that you wish you didn’t have.
Can self-destructing be considered a habit? If so, that one.
A picture of somewhere you’ve been to.

Favorite super hero and why?
Can Ozymandias count? I’m saying yes.
Favorite because I actually happen to agree with his way of handling things at the end of Watchmen, unlike pretty much everyone else. Plus he’s the smartest man in the world, I mean, come on.
A picture of someone/something that has a big impact on you.

Short term goals for this month and why.
Well, since I’ve so far unintentionally downloaded a new song every so far this month (old habit, haha), I guess I shall continue doing so – because I like the thought of doing something each day of a year and because it’s hard to stop looking for new music.
Get out of this pit of despair – for obvious reasons.
Get some more thesis writing done – because I have to.
Draw – I want my creative muse to get back from vacation.
Kick some ass in SEM – because I should.
Something you’re proud of in the past few days.
Eh. Not much. The past few days have blown heavy metal chunks.
Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad.
Happy: Sleepyhead (or one of the remixes) – Passion Pit
Sad: The Last Day On Earth by Kate Miller-Heidke is my standby as of late.
Bored: Hit the shuffle on my Top 50 playlist!
Hyped: Pretty much any Lady Gaga song
Mad: Metal. Lots and lots of metal.
How you found out about WordPress and why you made a blog.
I found blogs using WordPress via StumbleUpon. I started a blog here because MySpace is a fickle bitch and WordPress allowed me to import all my old ramblings.
A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.
Nobody’s really hurt me recently. I just take things too personally.
A picture of you and your family.
Don’t have one saved on Vaio II.
Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play.

Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why?
DUDE can I pick Gordon Freeman? YES YES! I would switch lives with Gordon Freeman. I cannot think of a single reason why NOT.
Plans/dreams/goals you have.
SAVE THE WORLD, ONE TEST STATISTIC AT A TIME.
Sorry, I’m in a caps lock mood tonight.
I’d like to change the way we think about statistics, because I think a lot of us think about them the wrong way. I’d also like to help people. And teach, I’d like to teach. And write.
Yeah.
Nicknames you have; why do you have them?
I don’t really have any actual nicknames. I have my actual name chopped up a few different ways, but no real nicknames.
Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future.
PFFT YEAH RIGHT
A picture of something that makes you happy.

What makes you different from everyone else?
I hyperventilate over principal component analysis. Not sure a lot of other people do that.
Something you crave for a lot.
Data.
A letter to your parents.
HI PARENTS!
It’s your weird-ass daughter here. Chugging away at her MA degree, slowly losing her sanity, quickly losing her ability to care about whether or not she loses her sanity.
I miss you both. Hopefully we can all meet up again now that our lives are all going in seemingly opposite directions. It’s strange how life works like that.
Anyway.
I hope things are going well in Moscow/Tucson!
What I would find in your bag?
Notebooks, whatever book I happen to be reading at the time, way too many pens, a stapler, highlighters, pencil/pencil sharpener/eraser, gum.
What you think about your friends?
They’re a bunch of weirdos and dorks. Hence the love.
Why are you doing this 30 day challenge?
It’s my party and I’ll blog if I want to.
In this past month, what have you learned?
How much it blows to be alone nearly 24/7.
And that I’ll never be a good dancer.
Who are you?
I’m Claudia. I’m an odd duck. I like statistics. That’s pretty much all you need to know.

Dear 2011,
Let’s be kind to each other, shall we? 2010 was average enough, but we don’t need another 2009.
So let’s make a deal.
You will provide me with 365 days, each day approximately 24 hours in length. These days will be blank slates with each an opportunity to get things right.
In turn, I will provide you with 365 attempts at not sucking at life. This includes but is not limited to:
- keeping my mind focused on whatever task is at hand, regardless of how alluring drawing/writing/StumbleUpon/Wordpress/screwing around on the internet in general is.
- trying not to lose my shit when it comes to anxiety-provoking social interactions.
- mastering the art of self-deprivation to promote self-betterment.
- attempts to dispel anger in more constructive ways.
- trying to be kinder to everyone, even people who can’t seem to walk down a sidewalk properly.
- appreciating the fact that I have control over my life (note: this does not exempt me from bitching about stuff).
So yeah. Take that, fate, I’m going to kick your ass.
Anyway, life is never complete without a year-end survey. Onward!

Because it’s my blog and I want to.

Today’s song: Le Vrai le Faux by Jérôme Minière
Stop Waiting for Godot! Take ACTION!
Because someone finally tagged me in one of these on Facebook, but I don’t write notes, so I put it here instead.
Plus I’m bored.
Official Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you.
- Some people think I’m over exaggerating with the whole “I love Leibniz” thing. I’m not. I’d take that man in a second if he were alive today.
- I really, really, REALLY don’t like people touching my bangs.
- Plugging my iPod into the car stereo, cranking it, and driving around for hours = major stress relief.
- I try to give at least one compliment a day—if not verbally, than in my mind.
- Back in 1st/2nd grade, I’d construct life-size paper people out of construction paper. They had bones (popsicle sticks), blinking eyes, “working” digestive systems, and could wear my clothes. I also made elaborate little paper laptops during recess time.
- It really bothers me when people judge others based on their musical tastes.
- I freaking love McDonald’s French fries. I don’t care that they’re pretty much poison, I think they’re absolutely fantastic. Especially when they’ve been sitting under the heat lamp for a little too long.
- I haven’t worn a pair of shorts since 2nd grade.
- I haven’t worn a pair of jeans since 8th grade.
- The majority of my pet peeves are concentrated around the actions of self-centered people. You know, the people who ALWAYS direct the conversation back to themselves, the people who decide not to acknowledge someone waiting for an open locker in the changing room and instead stand in front of their locker once they’re done with their workout and text for ten minutes, the people who walk down the middle of a narrow walkway without realizing that perhaps someone would like to pass them…the list goes on.
- I can’t remember what my life was like back before I’d discovered my passions for statistics and philosophy. I must have been very miserable.
- My first word was “tick-tock.”
- I was a fantastic runner/jumper in elementary school (I wanted to go to the Olympics). Now running hurts just about every square inch of my body for whatever reason.
- There are some days when I have this incredible compassion towards the whole of humanity. There are other days where I just want to stab everyone.
- I would love to be a chef, but unless my olfactory bulb suddenly decides to work for the first time ever, I don’t see that ever successfully happening.
- I almost decided against going to college.
WOO!
