- Someone is sitting in front of a computer terminal, amid a forest of
- SUNs, WYSE's, IBM's and Mac's. Confused-looking college students wander
- in and out of the computer lab, trying to appear in control when in fact
- they are incredibly lost. She feels lost too, not even able to remember
- her own name... but she still grins goofily at the blinking orange cursor.
- The cursor does not smile back.
-
- Someone does not know what she is doing, but she is enjoying it nonetheless.
- The undigestible remnants of the tuna-and-vegetable surprise she wolfed
- down at lunch today are settling in her stomach. In a matter of hours she'll
- no doubt be nauseous. But she'll enjoy it nonetheless.
-
- Someone hopes she isn't disturbing the usual going-ons here. If so, she
- apologizes and regrets her actions deeply.
-
- Someone is trying to say something. You can barely hear it through the
- Shakespear's Sister tape blaring in the background. It sounds like... is
- she cussing? No, now she's shaking her head. "F.A.Q!" she shouts
- emphatically. Gesticulating wildly (is there any other way?) she manages
- to convey that she'd like the said F.A.Q. if at all possible.
-
- Someone is now smiling. The weekend is about to begin, and although she
- knows she's about to drown in a sea of organic syntheses, she is enjoying it
- nonetheless.

- to get another)

- "It's great to be young and insane."
