as a pika rush-chair-in-exile, I totally feel your pain. but i think you'll be fine.
but oh! I totally forgot to put "senior house kids ignore you hour" into my plans for pika rush this fall as you suggested at roast! what was i thinking!
also you can actually do glowstick poi which is cool because it looks kind of like fire poi but doesn't kill you quite as much when you fuck up.
yeah. a whole bunch of people were doing glowstick poi at the concert, and it was neat. not quite as impressive as fire, but much safer when they messed up. they also had glowstick nuchaku, which were even cooler. partially because they reminded me of the teenage mutant ninja turtles...
alex and i are planning on doing telephone pictionary during rush, and we're going to make a reference to stealing the idea from pika. it would actually be really fun if people from pika wanted to come and play with us. and i'd come during pika rush, and not ignore everyone, unless you wanted me to, of course!
i totally want to go to new zealand. i've wanted to go to new zealand since i was 15? or so. i had some awesome camp counselors from down there, and i fell in love with the accent, and there you go. i have promised jenny i will go with her someday. "we shall see" also, one of my good friends here at caltech is actually from NZ (and also from the netherlands. and a student in england. it's kind of complex. and he just got his green card here.... um, yeah. but he has the NZ accent...)
also, i took a course 12 class, once. 12.215, navigation. it was kind of neat, actually. they taught me to use a sextant. but the professor was kind of aghast that i had never had linear algebra. "oops"
If I could go anywhere in the world, I'd like to go to Romania, get trashed, and then kill some freaking gypsies. Goddamn gypsies.
After that, I'd go to the Grand Tetons and Lake Tittikakka. heheh
...
Seriously though, I'd really like to visit Norway (obviously) and Italy (hopefully where my Great Grandmother was born). I'd also like to go to Japan. I'm not very interested in nature, unfortunately. It's pretty, but I don't think I'd ever spend a significant amount of money/time/effort in attempting to see something nature made.
But then again, maybe that's just the suburbanite in me; who knows?
"hopefully where your great grandmother was born"?
what does that mean? that she was born there? or you don't know? or she was kidnapped from somewhere else and grew up there? or she claims to be italian but was actually from some other country of which she doesn't want to admit?
i'm the opposite. i love nature. some of the best trips i've taken are to remote parts of the united states where there's not much but nature to explore. i've always loved it, but i know not everyone is like me.
I meant, like, I'd like to visit the place where my great grandmother was born/lived/raised in Italy. She was born there and then immigrated to the US in 1913, I think.
I love nature too. I just don't love it enough, I guess. I haven't really spent that much time in nature alone. Fleargh, I feel weird.

It was far too beautiful, and I had to leave ;-)

uh, small world?
it is beautiful, but very very small town.

The town is really too small for anything but raising kids. Even then, I would have appreciated growing up in a bigger city.
