Because I Can

Be Tangent, Not Normal

This term has been an adventure. This adventure had little or nothing to do with the material that I have put into this column. When evaluating things that happen in my life, I choose to classify them into "Interesting" and "Uninteresting" categories. The result of this is that I can say that I have had a very interesting term, but I am unable to judge whether it was good or not. So, for my own sanity, I declare this to have been an excellent term. I look forward to writing more random stuff next term. Here is a list of things to do that will make your life more interesting! I do not make any claims as to whether they will improve your life or not.

• Write a serious argument for a completely absurd proposition. The arguments must be sensible and logical, but the premises need not be so, for obvious reason. The premises merely must not be obviously contradictory. Bonus points if you start believing your own argument.
• Set up vaguely amusing situations with your associates. Drop hints about interesting stories that you are not allowed to talk about, then when you are directly confronted about it be very noncommittal about everything. Recruiting other friends to help you can result in this becoming even more interesting. The downside is this can cause drama if people start taking you seriously, or poor communication between those involved in the plot.
• Be excessively spontaneous. If you have nothing to do for a weekend, visit somewhere you have never been before. Of course, this only works if you have extra money to spend on going places. These places should be further afield than, say, Toronto. Seriously, who hasn't been to Toronto on short notice? Bonus points if it is more than 300 km away.
• Show up to interesting classes. These do not have to have anything to do with your program, or even your faculty. Especially relevant is that you must not be actually enrolled in these classes. These should be taken for nothing more than interest's sake. Bonus points if you do all the assignments and exams.
• Disappear for a night. In my opinion, this is best done by forsaking electronics for a night. Of course, keeping a turned-off cellphone is a safety precaution, and should be taken. What you can do is to spend a night, either on your own or with some friends, wandering around outside with no electronics. This may result in interesting stories. Bonus points if you stay up the whole night doing this.

I feel slightly bad for not having more/better for my final column of the term, but I was too busy thinking about hot, steamy sex. That and the M3 showers. You should check them out. They are excellent.
