Reasonable enough, until I can generate a more specific disaster or twelve 
trying a few things on my own - maybe.  Man, this requirement of having to 
eat occasionally really cuts into my educational schedule.

Well, we all have basic personality flaws (at least most of us do), in 
addition to the only vaguely identifiable proto-parts grinning at us from
