Ana - my buddy just won ~$500k on "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader". I think you should do that. If that doesn't work out, grad school ftw?

Just skimmed the thread so maybe this was brought up, but how are you not in grad school? Not law school, which I think I remember you said you hated, but some Phd program or something. That seems like the place for you, plenty of misanthropic soul-searching intellectual types for you to chill with.

Well, speaking only in history, my interest in grad school ended at my first introductory meeting on the subject, in which one of my TAs (cool cool guy btw) told me in no uncertain terms what I was expected to be interested in, who I was expected to be influenced by, who I was supposed to mention in my personal statement, etc. etc. etc. LOLz. What a racket! I would have to switch academic disciplines entirely to go back to school, and it's not like anything else is reaching out and grabbing me.
