Posthumous popularity

Vincent van Gogh, Emily Dickenson, Ronnie Steelman.

You may wonder what in the world I have in common with any of those other two people. Do I act mildly to moderately psychotic while engaging in artistic endeavors? No...well at least I hope not. Actually, the main characteristic that those three names have in common is that they all became posthumously popular...and in my case, by posthumous, I mean postleavingprovo-ous.
I have never considered myself a popular guy. At law school, on the popularity scale from 1-10, I'd seriously give myself a -3. I'm sure people make fun of me behind my back. Anyway, I had some good friends in Provo, but all of a sudden, I leave and my gmail inbox is constantly full all the time. Not that I'm complaining. Since I have no friends, I consider reading and writing emails as my main social activity. Sometimes I'll spend a couple hours a day just with email. I don't think it's a waste of time because I'm just doing it during the times when anyone else would be actually talking to a roommate or visiting a friend. Well, my point is...actually I don't know what my point is. I guess I'm just happy to have such great friends to email and now to G-talk to.

Relativity is bunk

I am now a disciple of Superstring Theory.

Nickname

I wish I had a cool nickname that started with the word "The" like "The professor" or "The preacher" or "The postman". It doesn't even have to start with the letter "p" like all my examples. Does anybody have any ideas?

It's Official

The ghost of Abraham O. Smoot that has haunted VP 11 in the past, for some inexplicable reason has decided to follow me down to Louisiana. I have had two encounters during the past week.

1) Last week in the library, twice I put something in my bag only to look up and immediately see that the item had been taken out of my bag.

2) I heard wailing in my house Sunday morning when I was all by myself (There was no wind).

Physical Challenge

I offer $100 to the first person to complete the physical challenge from the 2nd to 1st floor ($150 for 3rd to 2nd floor). The only caveats are that there must be two witnesses and a video recording sent to me.

Gentlemen, the gauntlet has been thrown.
