5’ 3″. I can do without any more short jokes, too, thanks.

February 2, 1988

Hazel/green/brown. I don’t know. I have the ugliest eyes in the universe.

See above (pathetic, ain’t it?)
Right or Left Handed
Right
Nickname
I don’t really have any. There’s Claude, but he’s a person, not a nickname.
Random Questions
Do you play an instrument?
Many of them.
Do you think you are attractive?
Pfft. Only if you like the “fat and ugly” look.
Do you want to go to college?
I’m in college, thank you. And grad school? Don’t mind if I do!
Do you smoke?
Eww, no.
Do you drink?
Eww, no.
Are you smart?
Depends on how you define “smart.”
Your best physical feature?
My eyelashes are fantastic.
No seriously, though, I don’t have any good physical features.
Sick of anything?
Sick of the U of I’s incompetence regarding, well, everything.
Mp3 player?
No, I’m Claudia. Mp3 Player’s over there.
Views on war
It’s a necessary thing, but only because we make it so as the human race.
Favorite Actor
William Shatner, bitches!
Favorie Actress
Don’t have one.
Cake or Pie
Neither.
Favorite quiet place
My dorm room. Yes, finally, I’ve found a dorm room that can be described as “quiet.”
Favorite type of music?
I like electronica, something with a good, strong beat and a good, strong bass line. Classical, though, is a very close second.
Boxers or Breifs? Panties or Thong?
Anything but a thong! Oh dear god!
What you look for in a Boy/Girl. Guy/Woman
Age
Doesn’t matter, really. I’d prefer them to be 19 or older, though. There’s no upper limit.
Height
No preference. As long as they’re not so incredibly tall that it makes it really difficult to kiss.
Weight
Well, unlike the majority of the US population, I like my guys heavy (especially in the middle… ). This seems contradictory, seeing as how I’ve only dated skinny guys. This just proves, though, that I really don’t judge by appearance that much.
Hair color
Again, it doesn’t matter. Though redheads are, I must say, delightfully sexy. Yes, Sean, if you ever read this, that means you.
Hair Length
I really don’t know why I’m answering these questions, because again, I’m going to have to say I don’t care.
Music type
Whatever floats his boat.
Geometry
Scalene! MAKE HIM SCALENE!!!
Attitude
Open-minded. Please, dear god, let him be open-minded. Anything else is fine, I think, but open-mindedness is a must.
Maturity
I need a maturity that matches mine. In other words, a guy who can have the maturity level of a four-year-old one minute, and be able to seriously discuss Leibniz and/or Voltaire and/or both of them the next.
Wee! Told you I’m bored.
“Felgar, NOOO!”
Survey time. Don’t want to deal with reality tonight.
1. How do you define yourself?
You know, I was going to write a blog on this in the near future. I guess I still will.

On a school night? 4 AM or so. Damn you, MSN Messenger and your dirty wiles!
3. Ever done drugs?
Nope.
4. Biggest fear as of right this second?
Midterm grades—will they be good enough to satisfy me?
5. Are you sad?
In general? No, not so much anymore. I got over all that crap in December.
6. What’s your favorite decoration in your room?
That colossal watch. I’ve got it tacked to my corkboard, so it’s essentially a wall clock.
7. What will be/is your major?
Psychology! With a stats minor! And a philosophy minor! And then I’ll graduate in the fall and in the spring I’ll get a BS in philosophy!
8. What song are you listening to?
Paralyzer by Finger Eleven
9. Have you ever given your genitals/privates nicknames?
DO YOU WANT TO MEET SPARTA?!?!?!

Matt’s little reference to the Yogi Bear thing.

Several cruel comments by several tactless people. That, and I can’t do proofs.
12. Kirk or Spock?
William Shatner is the man.
13. Color or black and white?
Do you have to ask me this question? Really?
14. Are you smart?
If being incredibly motivated to achieve the best possible counts as smart, then yes.
Hell, I don’t know. Am I smart?
15. Favorite punctuation mark?
Interrobang. No question.
16. Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
Once…
17. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend now?
That, my dear survey, is a very, very good question.
18. Are you short?
I’m short AND I’m bothered by this question.
19. Does age difference matter in a relationship?
Hell no. Unless the age difference creates a case of pedophilia. Or necrophilia. Hahaha, that would be hilarious: “I like ’em old. Reeeeeeeeeally old…”
20. Dream job?
Psychometrician!!!!
21. Are you a virgin?
That’s like asking if Wilford Brimley’s a diabetic.
22. What’s your favorite song?
Philosophia, by The Guggenheim Grotto
23. Is he dead, Jim?
Haha, what’s with the Star Trek references?
24. What is your secret sexual fantasy?
Well, if I told you, it wouldn’t be secret, now would it?

The fact that I’m me? Though that’s not so secret, is it?

Who freaking knows? They probably don’t, really, they just need someone to use to their own advantage and have picked me ’cause I’m a pushover that way.
29. Why don’t people like you?
I chalk it up to my defective personality.
30. What song describes your love life?
Pfft. What’s a love life but a real-life soap opera? Plus, no song is worthy of the situation I’ve somehow gotten myself into right now.
31. What keeps you from going off the deep end?
The floaties I wear on my arms, of course!!!
That and the 25 credits. I think they’re keeping me stable, which contradicts every bit of logic I can think of. Or maybe I’ve sunk so far down the deep end that the pressure of 10,000 or so atmospheres is crushing my brain and thus is making me hallucinate about being stable.
32. What’s your MSN screen name?
“Leibniz Rocks My Socks.” ‘Cause it’s entirely true.
33. Any new friends?
Brittany! I think she considers me a friend, unless my brilliant ability to read social cues has failed me yet again.
34. Why do little children stare at you?
Because I resemble the innards of their crayon box.
35. What’s the best thing you’ve ever done?
Hell, I don’t know. I don’t really do much…I crapped out a good short story last April for my creative writing class, but other than that I see nothing else that boosts my self worth in the slightest.

43. Medical dramas?
Chicago Hope is the best TV show EVER CREATED!
44. Grades?
They’re my life right now, I’m not going to lie. I need perfection to get into the grad school I want. Give me a 4.0 or give me death!
45. Product placement?
Who needs product placement when you can have an ice-cold Diet Coke instead?
Also, you people need to go to Ebeeto’s YouTube page (the guy who did the Yogi Bear thing) and watch both parts of the “Might & Magic II” review and the second half of the “Deal or No Deal” review (especially near the end, good lord).
Blogs? Bah!
Holy crap, guys, look at this! Read what the customers have to say near the end. eBay rocks my socks off.
Oh, and I finally did that Photobucket survey. Commence surveylicious fun!
1. What is your first name?
There’s a tramp stamp with my name on it! Literally! Ahahahaha….
2. What month were you born?
This is the only one I could find that didn’t have freaking hearts on it. Or amethysts.
3. What kind of car do you drive?
4. Where do you go to school?
It should read “a legacy of changing our logos to ever increasing ugliness and painting our university structures in the most god-awful yellow we can find. Oh, did we mention we suck at football?”
5. Favorite animal?
That is an elephant seal, my friends. Study it, for it is the epitome of awesomeness in the animal kingdom.
6. Favorite color?
Fruit = eww, color = wee!
7. Your celebrity crush?
Oh, he does so count! <3.
8. Dream car?
Nothing more needs to be said.
9. Favorite movie?
10. Disney princess?
I…I don’t think I have one.
12. Best vacation spot?
I really need to haul my butt down there.
13. Favorite dessert?
Oh good god, best picture ever. I eat my M&Ms with steroids, baby.
14. Favorite letter?
HAHA, OH YEAH GUYS, WHO SAID IT HAD TO BE FROM OUR SPECIFIC ALPHABET?! It represents summation, people, how could I not love it?
15. Most afraid of?
16. What do you want to be when you grow up?
“Psychometrician” turned up no results. So I had to use “statistician.” This is as close as I got.
17. Favorite time of day?
18. What do you love most about life?
19. Favorite accessory?
I could find no actual images to do justice to my level of gaudiness regarding earrings.
20. One word that describes yourself?
Technically that shows two words, but what I typed in was “eccentric.”
Spinoza! Descartes! Am I going to have to separate you two?
Holy crap, I just went antiquing and found the COOLEST WRISTWATCH IN EXISTENCE!
The thing is like the size of a half dollar. No, it’s even bigger than that! It’s like two half-dollars! How absolutely impractical is that?! Plus, the elastic strap is too big to fit around my wrist, so if I’m going to ever wear this I’m either going to have to move it up further on my arm (thus looking even more super cool) or strap it onto my ankle or something. Maybe I’ll just tack it onto my wall as a miniature wall clock. Best. Find. Ever. Ooh! And I also got a little Pillsbury Doughboy figurine for free. It’s like a dog toy. Bliss.
And, of course, bliss = survey, so off we go!
1. How many songs do you have in your music library?
1,161 (I did a mass cleanup and I still haven’t put my Candide audiobook chapters back up).
2. What song best describes your life right now?
“Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk. Why? A) it’s awesome, and my life is going that route right now and B) the title (and thus about 80% of the lyrics) summarizes how I want to be in my life.
3. Where do you see yourself living in six months?
Actually, Sean and I were talking and he wants to get about seven people together and rent a house all together outside of campus. I’d totally go for that, cause I’m so freaking sick of the dorms. Plus I’ve got this insatiable urge to cohabitate with strangers all of a sudden. Yeah, I know, what’s up with that?!
4. What are you good at that few others are?
Pushing the limits of how many credits a person can withstand while still getting a 4.0 and not going insane. And taking business calculus at 8:30 in the freaking morning and not killing myself/my teacher/anyone else who dares cross my path.
5. Dominant or submissive?
Who, me? I’m waaaaaaaaaay too submissive. But hopefully I’ll find someone who likes that, if you know what I mean. Oh-ho! I’m naughty.
6. What’s your best subject at school?
Hell, I don’t know. I p0wned tests and measurements, can that count as a subject?
7. Any guilty pleasures?
Haha. I’ve officially sold my soul to Macromedia via Flash.
8. Would you rather be a math major or a business major?
Math major. No question.
9. Favorite video on YouTube?
Ooh, tough. Either Daft Hands or the Yogi Bear thing (both linked in my blogs prior to this one. Curious? Seek them out, good readers!).
10. What is the last thing that made you laugh?
Well, the last question made me reminisce about the Yogi Bear thing, and thus I’m watching it right now. So, “I didn’t know this was a fucking survival horror game! I fucking shit my pants!”
11. What color hair does the object of your affections have?
Red. He’s Irish.
12. What’s the sexiest item of clothing you own?
My orange toe socks with the purple toes and the purple, turquoise, and white polka dots. Awwwww, yeah.
13. Do you have any artistic talent?
Bahaha! Have you seen my Flash animations?
14. What’s your GPA?
4.0!
15. Favorite web comic?
www.xkcd.com, by far (the most recent one is oh, so very true, by the way).
16. Ever been pregnant?
Haha, the Immaculate Conception, part II!
17. Are you afraid of death?
Nope.
18. What song best describes your love life right now?
Oh god…can I just put “White and Nerdy” and get a good laugh from everyone?
19. What was the last thing you copied and pasted?
It was a huge chunk of text, I’ll just give you a cool-sounding part: “…channeling a myriad of doubt from its origins, but succeeding in…”
20. Do you have a favorite forum you visit?
Clock Crew BBS, bitches!
21. Any fetishes?
Mild fat fetish, but you’d probably never guess it unless I told you.
22. What is the best thing you’ve ever found on eBay?
THOSE FREAKING AUTHENTIC VINTAGE 1960s BELLBOTTOM PANTS, BABY!!!
23. Boxers or briefs?
On me or on a guy? Briefs for me, boxers for a guy.
24. Do you spend more time on MySpace or Facebook?
MySpace, easily.
25. Any favorite series (television, animation, etc.)?
Colin Mochrie vs. Jesus H. Christ is a fucking classic. RAB’s right up there, too.
Hooray!
An anxiety-ridden week gives rise to…
Boredom!
Why is it that boredom = survey?
I’m sure I could offer you one of my proofs, but…
…I’m bored. And thus I don’t want to do squat.
I’ll give you three guesses as to what you’re going to get in this blog:
1) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see me dressed like Elton John
2) a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see me strip naked and act like Elton John
3) a survey
The correct answer is…
Guess 3!
Though guesses 1 and 2 will be performed per request.

ZOMG RAPID-PI
Okay, this is officially the coolest thing I’ve ever downloaded. It’s called Rapid-Pi, and it’s this really awesome equation creator/editor download for Microsoft Word. This will be real useful when doing statistics/logic homework. Downside: I could only get the 30-day trial, cause the actual thing costs $50.
Also, a survey!

Godot Divides by Zero
I seem to have an affinity for these countdown surveys. What can I say, I love countdowns, I love lists…it makes sense that I would love countdowns that involve lists.
Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten Different People:
10. Ah, you. So yeah, that was totally cool, your claiming that you’ll go on a date with me that one day and then never, ever speaking to me again for no apparent reason, despite the fact that we saw each other in band for a full three weeks after the fact. Classy.
9. I love the fact that our friendship has changed to the point where I’m taking the role of “person you’ll hang out with only when you feel you have an “obligation” to hang out with her.” I really dislike being treated like a second-class citizen now that things have changed. It makes me sad/angry.
8. Your life is not NEARLY as bad as you make it out to be. Seriously. Stop complaining, make a little effort to improve things, and you’ll realize that it’s not all that bad. Trust me.
7. What’s your deal, my friend? First you stalk me. Then you get completely upset with me for no apparent reason. Then you continue to stalk me despite my best attempts at completely ignoring you. Then you randomly chat with me on Messenger, despite the fact that I never respond back. I ask, wtf?
6. Where the hell have you been, and why weren’t we friends before?!
5. “Scenic!”
4. Okay, you know what? I’m calling this person out, cause it’s not really a person. It’s my BUSINESS CALCULUS CLASS. Three words, my friend: I hate you.
3. You are the sexiest piece of woman-meat this side of…well, anything. Just thought you’d like to know. Oh, screw it. Amy, this one’s for you. I love you, darling.
2. Why won’t you give me that freaking story you wrote? That was the funniest thing I’ve ever read in my life! I think you know who you are, too. Hehe.
1. YOU! Despite the fact that I don’t want to be in a relationship for some time now, you are the one person I’d make an exception for. I know you don’t read my blogs, but yeah. Just thought I’d let you know just in case you ever come across this (and I think you know who you are).
Nine Things About Yourself
9. I wish I were a male.
8. I can’t handle money to save my life. Banking and all things associated with monetary handling confuse me; I just want to keep my money in a shoebox. And I spend too much/give away too much/lose $20 bills on the street too much (true story).
7. I’m thinking my tattoo shall be the equation for the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (or Pearson’s r), and I shall get it on my back right above my shoulder blade on the right side. Check out the equation; it’s sexy.
6. Dragonflies scare the hell out of me.
5. I love puns. But I’m sure you knew that already.
4. My waist:hip ratio is .72, which is very close to .70, the apparent “ideal” waist:hip ratio for optimum fertility and apparently what men find most attractive. Hmm…
3. A week or so ago, I failed to blog about something very significant—for the first time in my life, I came across a situation in which I severely questioned my sexual orientation. Now I’ve confused myself.
2. Voltaire freaking ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF.
1. I really, really wish that I had born back during the French Enlightenment. Or about 15 or so years prior, so that I could have fully enjoy it.
Eight Ways To Win My Heart (gah, again?! Oh well…):
8. Remind me of Voltaire.
7. Be a man (or woman, or whatever, I don’t even know anymore) who appreciates the “finer” things…opera, fine art, philosophical discussions—all that prim and proper jazz that, on occasion, is really fun to indulge in.
6. Understand my geeky jokes. Or even better, make geeky jokes of your own.
5. Be unhealthily obsessed with at least one thing. I don’t know why I find that freakishly attractive, but I do.
4. Money? Don’t be overly concerned about it.
3. Speak French. Oh, my.
2. Just be you. No charades. But we can play charades, though, because that’s a fun game.
1. Five simple words: don’t fucking lie to me.
Seven Things That Cross Your Mind a Lot:
7. My future and everything related to it
6. Intelligence and what it really means
5. The limits of language
4. Mathematics and the issues surrounding it
3. Anything philosophical
2. The fate of the world
1. The origin of the universe
Six Things You Wish You Never Did:

5. Failed to care about the SATs (I know, shocking! Me, fail to care about a school-related issue? Blasphemy!).

3. Chased him. For 7 years. I’m pathetic.
2. Allowed them to make the decision for me.
1. Commented on that blog.
Five Turn Offs:

4. Facial hair.
3. “Excuse me, where is the Republican candidate on this ballot?”
2. The whole “rippling muscles” look.
1. Stupidity that goes beyond just being naïve and unexposed.
Four Turn Ons:
4. I’m kind of into the emo/goth/all-black look right now. I think it’s sexy. Note I said the look and not necessarily the mindset.
3. Humor!
2. Heaviness, especially in the midsection.
1. The most important: INTELLIGENCE!
Three Smileys That Describe Your Life:
3.
2.
1.
Two Things You Want To Do Before You Die:

One Thing You Want:

Claudia’s bored. No finals today. It’s survey time!
(And notice I’ve failed to speak a word about the math final last night? Yeah. I think I did very poorly.)
1. What kind of first impression do you think people have when they first see you?
If they see me, they probably think I’m a hippie/slacker/druggie who doesn’t amount to much in school or in life in general. I probably don’t give off the first impression that I’m intelligent solely because I dress in a way that most people fail to associate with “intelligence.” I’ve been told I’ve surprised people once they’ve gotten to know me past the first impression.
2. What’s one thing you like to do alone?
What don’t I like to do alone? I guess one of the more “group” activities that I prefer to do alone is shop. I hate shopping with other people, cause then I find it more difficult to accrue the material possessions that meet the satisfactory “eccentricity” requirements.
3. What is your favorite line to say when bored?
Something along the lines of “I’m bored,” most likely. Or, “god, let’s do something!”
4. What movie made you cry?
The Butterfly Effect.

10. Favorite communication method?
Morse code!
11. Do you care?
About what? I care about a lot of things.
12. What do you eat when you raid the fridge at night?
I don’t raid the fridge at night. Jolly Ranchers/M&Ms are not kept in the fridge.
13. If you could have plastic surgery, what would you have done?
Fix my butt. A little lipo here and there. But that’s it. Ooh! Ooh! Can I have a third eye installed?
15. Describe your bed.
Um, it’s a twin…it’s got sheets on it…they’re striped…that’s about it.
16. Spontaneous or planned?
PLEASE planned. PLEASE.

Not at all, actually.

Aside from the fact that it means “lame” in Latin, yeah. I like it.
21. How much would it take to give up the Internet for 1 year?
It would take quite a freaking lot.
22. What color is your bedroom?
It’s white, but it’s got enough posters on the walls to cover that fact.
23. Have you ever been in a play?
~Goldilocks and the Three Bears—Kindergarten
~7 Christmas musicals and 7 springtime musicals—Kindergarten-6th grade

Nah, I feel for them.
26. Do you consider yourself to be a nice person?
I’m a very nice person, I think.
27. Do you spend more time with your girlfriend/boyfriend or your friends?
I’m negative on the girlfriend/boyfriend aspect, so no.
28. What’s one thing you wish you could do but can’t?
Flyyyyyyyy!
29. What is your ideal marriage location?
Antarctica!
30. What’s one instrument you wish you could play?
I’ve always wanted to learn the violin, but a) I can’t get a hold of one long enough to learn it, and b) Claudia fails at stringed instruments anyway, as evident from the 5 minute session with Aneel’s viola one day after school.
31. Something you like and hate?
Like: intelligence. Hate: lies! Deceit and lies!

Unfortunately, my dear survey. Unfortunately. Wait, wait—HA! I removed them! WHO OWNS THE WORLD, NOW?!?!?!
2. BONSAI TREES! ARE YOU WEARING THEM?
Just two. Where my pants used to be.
3. WHAT’S YOUR TAKE ON DR. SEUSS? DO YOU THINK HE DID HEROIN?
I think I was the one on heroin when I wrote that “Seuss on the Loose” poem. Haha, remember that, Maggie? When I posted it on your wall on Facebook? I RULE!
4. DO YOU THINK IT’S MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE TO DIVIDE BY ZERO?
The way I see it, when you’re dividing things, it’s like your dividing them into groups (this is how I was taught to divide). Thus, if you divide something by zero, you divide it into no groups, and the number stays the same. I think it should be opposite of what it is—I don’t think you should be able to divide zero by anything. Cause if you try and divide zero into, for example, two groups, you FAIL! MISERABLY! BAM!
5. NAME YOURSELF “JONAH.” WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF A LARGE WHALE SWALLOWED YOU, JONAH?
I would pray, pray, pray to Buddha for my regurgitation on to dry land.
Wait.
That’s not right.

Ha! How tragically hilarious that would be!
16. WOULD YOU NAME YOUR SON ANY OTHER BODY PART?
My two little boys shall be named Spleen and Jugular Vein (but we will call him J.V. for short).
17. RATE THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF YOUR BUTT ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, 1 BEING HIDEOUS, 10 BEING GEORGE CLOONEY IN BUTT FORM (THIS WITH THE ASSMPTION THAT 98% OF WOMEN FIND GEORGE CLOONEY ATTRACTIVE; IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU DO OR NOT, CAUSE YOU’RE OPINION ON GEORGE CLOONEY DOESN’T MATTER AT THIS POINT OF THE SURVEY!)
2.36

SexyBack. Come on, you had to see that one coming.

I could guarantee that artificial intelligence could run the U.S. better than no intelligence at all. Oh snap!
21. How long does it take you to get out of bed in the morning?

My spidey-hole, where my Spidey-sense would tingle constantly and oh my goodness that sounds really dirty.

34. Would you prefer to be emotionless, so you didn’t have to feel heartbreak?
YES.
