Excuse me... have you seen my BIKE?!
Hullo!
Powers beyond my control have conspired to keep me in school for the rest of this semester (i.e. about 4 or 5 more weeks, oh no!), and by "powers beyond my control," I actually mean my mom. She called MMI yesterday and wired $850 into their Swiss bank account, thus rendering me still a student, thus saving my killer mid-term scores. And besides, like I said, I have roughly a month left in school anyway, so it'd just be a shame to get kicked out now ignominiously.You wanna know who's seeing mewithoutYou again this Friday? This guy. I'll actually dig the show a lot more this time around now that I'm totally familiar with their material, so I'm about as pumped as John Dillinger is full of lead.*
Did you know that the Earth wobbles a couple of degrees every couple of thousand years? I just read Fingerprints of the Gods which is an investigation into the possibility of a lost, ancient cvilization (which didn't actually mention Atlantis, surprisingly enough), and it mentioned how it's improper to speak of Ice Ages, when in fact, there's always an Ice Age for any landmass which is situated at the poles. When a myriad of factors overlap, the Earth's crust will shift dramatically, sending new regions into the poles. This is what actually accounts for the strange idiosyncrasies we find in each individual Ice Age, and why we find wooly mammoths instantly frozen with fresh flowers in their mouth and other such anomalies. Of course, some of the sources he cited suggested that the next shift of the Earth's crust could possibly be in the region of 2040, so hopefully the Shifting Crust Theory is poppycock. I'd rather not be around when that takes place, thank you.
Anyway, I gotta go spill blood in order to obtain some funding for mewithoutYou, so I gotta head out. Super green.
Love,
Ian

I'm certain that the only good that came out of the FBI was the hit T.V. show X-Files.
I hope you run out of plasma.
That'd be really funny.
Too bad it's like... not possible.
Well, how quickly would the Earth's axis shift? Because it would have to be pretty freaking fast to freeze flowers while they're still fresh.
Man, that was a lot of alliteration. Alliteration is annoying in abundance.
*ehem* Let's not forget about the worldwide flood as it is described in the book of Genesis.
My sister is a centaur!
We're talking about a pretty radical shift of the crust, of that magnitude that could send India from the South Pole to its present position, or conversely, New York from the North Pole to where it is today, and it would be pretty terrifyingly swift, believe you me.
When I mentioned the Earth's "wobble," I really meant that the entire Earth as a planet wiggles a couple of degrees. It's only like 2 1/2 or 3 degrees. It's weird. Major shifts of the Earth's crust occur when a number of events coincide:
1. The Earth "wobbles" its customary couple of degrees
2. Equinoctial precession is almost fully under way
3. The density of ice at the poles reaches a really intense level (I don't really remember what that magnitude is, though)
4. The moon is at the proper position to exert mega more gravity than usual upon our dear old planet
And furthermore, the last shift of the Earth's crust (circa 12,500 B.C.) is believed to be the culprit of the worldwide flood described in Genesis, Kristin, because yeah, it totally happened.
