yay for death opportunities!

So, apparently now Al Qaeda wants to attack France. Joining forces they are with the Algerian terrorists. It's gonna be interesting.
Now add our lovely Pope's miscommunication, and well, Germany might be on the top of the list soon enough, or, maybe they'll just go for the Vatican itself... OOOO i can't wait.

Here are some statistics about death (from National Geographic, August 2006):

- 1 in 1 chances of dying (no you dont say!!!)
- 1 in 7 chances of dying from cancer
- 1 in 84 chances of dying from motor vehicule accident
- 1 in 119 chances of dying from suicide (hun, fancy that!?)
- 1 in 216 chances of dying from falling (we're such klutzes)
- 1 in 625 chances of dying from a pedestrian accident (been there... almost)
- 1 in 4919 chances of dying from a bicycling accident (so my new method is slightly safer, by a factor of 8ish)
- 1 in 5051 chances of dying from air/space acident
- 1 in 62468 chances of dying from legal execution (I'll work on avoiding that one)
- 1 in 340733 chances of dying from fireword discharges.

Enlightening, isn't it? I do believe these are statistics for the USA tho... gotta check this shit out.

Helene has formed in the Atlantic!!!!
I'm excited... i found some cool stuff bout previous helene's

Hurricane Helene was the strongest hurricane in the 1958 Atlantic hurricane season, reaching peak winds of 135 mph and tied with Hurricane Ilsa. Helene was the only hurricane of the season to impact the United States. Because the hurricane remained offshore, winds and rainfall were confined to the immediate coastline. Damage amounted to $11 million ($72 million in 2005 USD), making Helene the costliest storm of the season.

1988: Category 4, yet "It never approached land and no damage or casualties were reported."

other were just tropical storms... unfortunately i don't think this one will be a doosie. poop.

Long time no see.

I had a lot to go through. Unfortunately, I just got distracted by the prospect of stalking people for 3 weeks.
Classes have started. my last fall term. Took me a while to figure the courses out, but im settled, and swiftly keeping track of my work. Unfortunately, I'm foregoing the most important part: the 331 report. but well figure that out. later. obviously.
Instead, let's focus on things in my life: anger, happiness, obliviousness, music, confusion, and fuzziness.
anger: not even going there. i take it out by punching. Safe now, don't you worry. no more punching walls for me. All goes into pads.
happiness: i have a foster piggie: ebony. Then I have a apartment kitty: butters. Then we have a bike: no name. then we have a work permit. no job yet. but eventually i hope.
obliviousness: Im getting pretty good at not thinking bout what bothers me... and thats a lot of shit. im not with the positive thinking yet... but hell, can't ask for the moon.
music: its all encompassing. obviously.
confusion: how do i feel so old on campus, yet am not? what the hell am i doing? what the hell are we all doing? (obliviousness then kicks in... what?)
fuzziness: pig and kitty. and squirrels... ooooo i love squirrels. oh and back to the confusion (ie. what the hell?)

My new hobby is reading all of emile zola's work. got my work cut out for me. we'll see bout education later.

and just for a good laugh: "To achieve more balance: Be less judgmental of those around you, and take cool walks in the moonlight."

for some reason curiousity this morning made me go look at the hurricane season. and HIP HIP HOORAY! there will be a hurricane with my name: Helene. Let's just hope it is a doosie.
