When I was in elementary school and middle school, I remember several people coming to school to lecture us about the importance of internet safety. At home, it was also stressed. We did not have email accounts until we were thirteen and facebook was seen as the essence of evil until a just a couple years ago. What I remember most, was the warning to never, ever to enter chat rooms.

Because if you did, you would die. It was inevitable. An old, slimy, hairy, creepy man would be on the other side of the connection piecing together clues about your life. "She wears a cheer-leading jacket and rides bus 134. Her school colors are blue and gold." You know they are thinking it. You know they will find you, and you will die a horrible, painful, gruesome death.

So you imagine my dilemma when to my surprise a little facebook chat window popped up from one of my friends. I usually had it on the offline setting (for previous chatting=death reasons). It was a friend who will be living with me next year. I couldn't very well ignore her as that would be rude. So I did it. I typed into the little box of death.

I'm trying to enjoy what is left of my life. From my understanding chatting on the internet and death have a correlation coefficient of 1 (a perfect positive correlation). I really hope you can all come to the funeral.

RANDOM STUFF ABOUT ME!

This is Anna.

I'm going to write a whole bunch of stuff about myself all in one place in case anyone is stalking me. This will just make finding stuff out about me a whole lot easier.

1.) I like pi (Happy pi day, by the way!)
2.) I REALLY like Star Trek (Go Spock!)
3.) I play trombone
4.) I love my family

That's about it. HAPPY PI DAY!

The Best Quiz Ever

I have this nasty habit of procrastination. This past week I was supposed to read about Zoroastrianism and Judaism for my World Religions class. It meets once a week, so we have a whole week to finish every thing. The problem is that the reading takes about three hours to do. It's due by four on Monday.

Sunday night, I hadn't finished the Judaism reading. Eh, I thought, I'll have time to do it tomorrow between classes. I had to skip lunch and any semblance of a break to do it, but I finished it. The only problem was that I couldn't remember anything about Zoroastrianism because I had read it a couple days before. It had all sorts of Persian words that I couldn't remember. My teacher's quizzes are notorious for requiring terms.

I got to class slightly anxious for this quiz. He started talking about California for some reason and some rivalry between southern and northern California. He then said that every semester he liked to have a quiz especially for the southern California people. We were all slightly confused. He said that because they had trouble sometimes, we needed to be nice. Then he put the quiz up. Here it is:

1. Who was the founder of ZOROASTERianism?
a) Moses
b) Muhammad
c) Zoroaster

2. What is the central feature of a fire temple?
a) fire
b) crosses
c) cattle

3. The prophet Zoroaster was
a) a king
b) a prophet
c) a business man

4. The hymns written in Persian came from
a) Persia
b) South America
c) China

5. Put the following religions in alphabetical order: Buddhism, Anglican, and Zoroastrianism
