Well, as an effort to make this thing a tad more entertaining, I'd like to start doing something on a weekly basis in addition to my riddles. So to start it off, I'll have a "IM quote o' the week."

IndubitablyDyl: I should do so many things
Derek: but then where would all the time you had planned not to do anything go?
Derek: you can't just break commitments like that

If I had a "should" for every "did", I'd be completely in control of the world by now. We're talking, to every minute detail. Well, except for my co-dictator. (You have to have a backup you know; flaming gerbil ninjas of Chaos are a real problem when you've taken over whole civilizations).

Speaking of co-dictators, one thing we did accomplish today at the Math Competition (other than me failing to do any superior feats of mathness, getting separated from everyone else (as is my custom, unfortunately), and resorting to doing Math Homework while not in school) was the brainstorming for a new number system/language. Some of you may not know it, but our 10-base number system isn't the only one available. Binary, a 1-base, only uses 0's and 1's to create a language. I.E., 101101101 is 365. So at the Math competition, we came up for the idea of a subliminal, world domanationish system. For instance, 1, 2, 3, Deanna (just cause it's Deanna), 4,5, OBEY, 6, 7, DYLAN, 9, 10, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED, 12, 13, 14, THERE IS A MAN WITH A GUN RIGHT BEHIND YOU, DO EXACTLY AS HE SAYS AND NOTHING WILL GO WRONG, 16, 17, 18, 19, POISON BEBE GUN PELLETS, 20, 21... etc. Pretty inconspicuous, eh? Oh the ideas spawned in rambling, semi-nonsensical conversations....
