Are You Evil?

Good for you, you're human. We all have evil thoughts, and you may have acted on a few of yours, but you're probably okay traveling through Buffy's turf. Or maybe you're an aspiring evil person and you've never given yourself a real chance. Go ahead and forgive yourself for the mean-spirited — but ultimately harmless — pranks you pulled in grade school. Whispering behind your co-workers' backs won't flood you with bad karma. And we've all held out for ourselves in the throes of passion a time or two. So keep listening to that conscience of yours, but don't worry about tuning it out every so often. Keep reading for more evil details!

In the bedroom, you don't have an evil bone in your body — well maybe one, but ... aw, never mind. The moral lessons you learned as a child really stuck — we have a sneaking suspicion you're still haunted by the ghost of your parents' first sex lecture ("Heavy petting won't make you popular"). In bed, you're as generous as they come — you always put your partner's needs ahead of yours. And your bedroom is a sacred temple. Overall, you're an enlightened sexual wonder. Just remember, it's okay to go nuts on your birthday.

Don't feel too bad about hiding your anger. At least, not right now. When your spleen ruptures from internalized stress, then you can feel bad about it. Passive people act that way because they're ultimately sweet and don't want to upset anyone. While that may work for the short term, you end up looking like a real back-stabber when you, ah, stab someone in the back. Try to deal with your problems up front, and you probably won't have to renew your concealed weapons permit this year.

We're not going to say you're a bad person, but you're toeing the line. A little advice: Try to think about how your victim will feel before you pull your next dirty prank (we don't care how funny it is when you take out a classifed ad and sell someone's car for them). You may think cruelty is funny, but your friends don't — especially the ones who've been burned by your verging-on-evil ways. Listen to your conscience a little more, okay?

Mail Call!

I got two parcels in the mail today.


  • From hoopycat, a copy of Sarah McLachlan's EP/CD-ROM The Freedom Sessions.

  • From fanboi82, a copy of the excellent computer game Age of Empires II and a photoguidebook to Williamsburg that I'd bought down there on my trip south but sadly left.



Thanks, guys!

(Oh. I received 13 E-mails in reply to my mass mailing of last night. Here's hoping, gentlepersons, that they're all positive.)

I said in my previous posting that I'd received 13 E-mails in reply to my mass mailing of last night. Briefly put, I've heard back from professors from all six institutions, and all save one (which was a simple E-mail giving me the E-mail of the head of the graduate studies program) were quite positive to my inquiry.

This is good, then.
