Fun with books.

Now a status report on how the "This Book Will Change Your Life" book is actually changing my life. And since I haven't blogged lately I'll start with Wednesday and work up to today.

Wednesday: "look at everyone like they are potentially the love of your life day." It was kinda hard to think of EVERYONE as the love of my life and it was actually quite draining to do so. So I just did like every tenth woman I saw. One of them happened to be the lady that works at the cash register in commons. I was purchasing some food and drink and as I stepped up to the register I saw her. The most perfect, beautiful and amazing woman in the world. I looked into her eyes for what seemed like an eternity. My gaze traveled down her face and landed on her lips. Her lips slowly opened and I waited to hear the most perfect words from her mouth. She said a few words but I didn't hear them, I was too enamored by her brilliance. I caught the end of her eloquent wording, it sounded like "... plan?" I just wanted to say "to spend my life with you." But then I realized she was asking what meal plan I was on and I said trojan and she swiped my card and I left. Just like that, I was gone and she was gone. Forever. I danced with love and it stepped on my feet. My shoes are scuffed... but that didn't stop me from walking pretty. I just buffed them up and gazed into eyes of the next tenth woman I met. Ah... cash-register lady, I gave you my soul and you crapped in my grocery bag. I love you.

Thursday: "throw something away that you like day." Yeah... I didn't do this one at first. Actually, I forgot. But a few days ago I threw away my keyboard. I loved that thing. It let me type this blog, it allowed me to do my essays and it gave me the opportunity to talk to amazing people online. I'll miss you keyboard. I'm still sorry for the time I spilled orange juice on you.

Friday: "color in the map day." This day was fun, the book supplies a map with pretty much EVERY country and you color in which places you've been to (in green), which places you intend to go this year (in blue), which places you intend to go before you die (in yellow), and places I'm happy to never set foot in my whole life (in red.) Since this would need a picture to fully illustrate i'll just give a brief list.
Green: Unites States of America, Canada, Mexico.
Blue: none that I intend to go to this year as far as I can tell. But anything can happen so I colored places I'd most likely go. Italy, Spain and England.
Yellow: I colored Italy, Spain and England this color too... which wasn't too bright because the blue plus yellow makes it look kinda greenish looking like I've been there already. Bad foresight on my part. I also colored in japan, australia, iceland, france, china and a few other places.
Red: everything else. Of course I don't think I'll completely omit any country, even if it sucks. It is still a worthwhile experience to go to a sucky place just to see the difference in culture.

Saturday: "out of order day." This day they supply you with an out of order sign that you cut out and place on some public thing. The idea is if everyone does it it will shut down society for that day, unless someone sees through the clever ruse. So I cut out the out of order sign and placed it on the elevator to the odd floors in my building (not the even floors, because I live on an even floor) I sat around for about 20 minutes and saw a few people look a the sign and take the even elevator to a different floor and take the stairs to theirs (so i assume) but then some idiot came downstairs in the odd elevator, which totally RUINED my whole evil plan! I took down the sign (mostly because it had half of my colored world on the back) and i stuck it back in the book. Stupid guy ruining my plan...

Sunday: "write the opening sentences of your debut novel day." This one took me a while. I wanted a gripping first sentence that didn't seem too pretentious or vague. If it seems pretentious I might turn off some readers right away and if it's too vague I might have to spend a lot of time later on clarifying things. But I also wanted it to be strong and attention grabbing. Something that will make the reader think "oooh what's this about?" or "this book is going to be so cool because that ninja samurai has bionic arms and eats fried armadillos." only not so strange. So I present to you the opening line from my debut novel (which I'm working on with my friend, Tyler) called Detective Max Sex:
"People call me Max Sex, not because I'm good at sex, but because it's my name."
It's a story about a young and energetic but somewhat normal detective that has the misfortune of having such an... "interesting" name and the wacky situations it gets him into.

Tomorrow is "masturbate at 1:56 pm to the following fantasy day." The fantasy: two blones. doing it. together. So I guess you all know what I'll be thinking about at 1:56.

I've been at school a little over a week now and have had about a week of classes. They are okay, my favorite so far is drawing and second favorite is earthquakes (the professor is just awesome, he reminds me of Kevin Klein. He's energetic and makes things interesting). Spanish is fine... it's spanish and east asian societies is BORING. Oh well, it's history and I've never liked history.

In other news, I have a new keyboard. I hacked the internet (and american express) and got a free "card reader keyboard" for my american express blue chip card. Only I don't have an american express blue chip card. I am so sneaky.
