I am currently suffering under a cloud of Randian exhaustion. That's when I push myself to my limits, and then beyond my limits, and then I feel like I've been hit by a truck but it's an enjoyable feeling. I went to a Libertarian meet today, made a couple of new friends, called a couple of guys facists, drank some wine, argued for children's rights ( Read more... )

I open my first real post of 2009 with an announcement:

I took the American SAT for the first time, and I got 1990/2400. In addition, I got 12/12 on the essay, which puts me in the 99th percentile for the writing section. I am proud right now. Very, very proud. Yeess. I mean, obviously next year I'll sit it again and be sure to get above 2100, ( Read more... )
