Fun Things to Do

In the shopping center:

Follow people through the aisles, always staying few feet away until they leave the store.

When some one asks you if you need help, begin to cry and ask,
"Why won't you people just leave me alone?

Set all the alarm clocks to go off at five minute intervals throughout the day.

Set up a "Valet Parking" sign in front of the busy department store.

Relax in the furniture section until you get kicked out.

On Immortality

I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.

And if allowed
Would be right proud
Eternally to die for
