akashiverThe bad thing about having a proposal accepted into a conference is that you're then a slave to that proposal, even if it turns out you detest the topic and see it as an meaningless rhetorical exercise.
Oh well. I've got at least 4 pages of crap. Must... keep... going...
On a much happier (and I guess rather random) note, it looks like I'll be going to China in a week or so. I spent last summer earning the money and I've found a cheap consolidater flight out of Vancouver. Providing the plane dosn't fall out of the sky (-remember me as a hero!-) I'll be landing in Shanghai and spending two weeks on the mainland, flying out of Beijing. I trace my unfortunate obsession with the Great Wall back to Civ 2 and my interest in China to Gong Li films and books like Wild Swans, which is awesome and which you need to read if you haven't yet.
You Are The Wayfarer Guide
"I'll show you the way."
Your deep insight and quick wisdom never ceases to amaze those around you. You are the guiding light for many of those you know and are not afraid to help anyone else who asks. Not very many acknowledge your tremendous help and effort, but you do not mind that so much. You've seen what is in store for them, and will be there should they need your help. You enjoy people in general, but are very selective of who you let see the real you. Others see you as an enigma of sorts, a mystery that is seemingly ever changing.
