Just an update on me: I'm a third year marine biology student (Bachelor of Marine Studies, majoring in marine biology and ecology), currently looking for an honours project that will both interest me and help me not to fail at life. This has involved a lot of volunteering in labs to suck up to possible honours supervisors and also get an idea of what kind of work I could possibly do. I am severely lacking in a) a driver's license, b) strength, and c) intelligence, but am assured by phD students that someone, somewhere, will take me in. I've moved out of college and am now staying in a rented house with friends. I feel extremely happy about this situation. I've overcome my fear of splattering oil (wielding pot lids like shields, very brave) and have learnt how to do housework. I still forget to make my bed in the mornings, but think this will not cause utter destruction of the known universe. I've started editing for a scanlation team, and this makes me feel accomplished, so even if this does not further the human race in any appreciable way (one could study the effects of internet fame, I suppose, but the results would show that it makes one bigheaded, and we already know that), I wanted to mention it. I'm not entirely well-adjusted, but I'm doing okay. I talk to people, and occasionally, if they don't turn out to be inanimate objects, they talk back. I'm pushing the limits of what I think I'm willing to do, when it comes to picking up eggshells and rotten bread in the dark because some idiot pushed over our trash bins, or sitting out in the rain taking note of what organisms have settled on what plates. I eat more vegetables and wash my face with proper face-washing things - though I haven't yet invested in a loofa... But I still don't like hyenas.
