Inspired by Anthony’s list on the blueblog, I’ve compiled my own.

5. Took myself out of the high end maths exam (STATs, I think?) because I didn’t believe I could do it, then ended up getting surprisingly good marks in the second tier one. I’d have gotten an A if I’d taken the high one.

4. Decided to keep fish for inner calm and staring purposes. Bought a hexagonal glass bowl on purely aesthetic reasons, filled it with giant pebbles, plastic plants and a sculpture, then shoved a fish in. It died. Tried with two more. They died. Water sample determined that they had suffocated on their own poop toxins. Nice. Have since spent the money and done it properly.

3. Nearly missed my transfer flight from Cleeveland to Utah the first time I was flying alone. I hadn’t slept so I decided to pass the time not waiting by the gate with coffee but sitting in the nearby Burger King with cherry pie and free refills. Only reason I was on the flight was because the stewardess came around shouting my name. The burning eyes of hundreds of passengers as you find the only empty seat is not nice attention.

2. ‘Cheating’ with walking the dog by putting on roller blades. Did not end well.

1. For the final project on the art foundation course I did before my degree, I made this futuristic costume which included a giant headpiece. I covered it in metallic paint and then encased it all in plastic. Then, I wore it under hot studio lights for photographs and the plastic sheets created this greenhouse effect with the toxic paint. I may have killed a large number of brain cells that afternoon.
