Heh heh! Ain't no flies on you, Neko... anyway, I'm into recycling.

In my spare time, I'd have a lot more time for writing. I don't know whether this would be a good thing or not.

Actually, a lot of the most critical medical advances, such as germ theory, anesthesia, antibiotics, blood transfusions, and vaccinations, were made in the days before computers. With the exception of blood transfusions and antibiotics, everything listed above dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Does medicine benefit from computing power? Absolutely. But it doesn't depend on it as much as, say, computer engineering does.

Then, I would gather myself together, get dressed, and go to work at the city paper. We would all rally together, and laugh in the faces of the technophiles and zealots who insist that print is dead and electronic news is the wave of the future.

And then, I'd wash all that ink off my hands, and cry in the bathroom stall from computer withdrawal.

If I weren't bore deaf. I would want to be fireman.

Math. Art. or Music.

Math because I'm a math geek, I've always been a math geek, and I always will be a math geek.

Art because it runs in my veins....

...and the same goes with music.

Besides, both are somewhat related to math... art in a loose way... and music in some more obvious ways.
