This may serve to show just how single-minded I am:
Intelligence, Intelligent people & Valuing of intelligence: GOOD
Ignorance, Stupid people & Valuing of thougtlessness: BAD
Highs:
Locating intelligent people (some on Poly, most elsewhere), expanding my mind, having lots of smart conversations.
Lows:
Being around idiots, or people who opt not to think, or ignorant/presumptuous folk like family.
Despair, pain and rejection don't bother me that much as I am used to them by now (at the expense of not being recept to Content, Pleasure and Acceptance), so I judge my happiness by my mission to get people to accept others' thoughts.

Low: Missing my offer for Oxford University (Trinity College). Partly because of a lack of work (Maths), partly because of an exam marking ****-up (Economics - I needed one A from those two). Leaving school in general.
High: Reapplying, finding that University College is almost as nice as Trinity, meeting many nice people during interviews, and getting another offer.
Higher: Realising that I'm the luckiest person I've ever met. When I fail, I get second chances. When things need to go right at a particular time, they do. The satisfaction that comes from knowing that I've done the right thing. For the first time in my life, being able to look back and be proud and happy with what I've done and who I am. Realising that if Armageddon happened tomorrow, that I had to answer for my life, I would feel happy that I haven't messed it up, I haven't misused what I've been given, and that I've done what I believe is best. Liking myself.
Highest: Louise. The person responsible for convincing me of everything above 
2003 has been such a good year, Reading Festival hasn't even made it as a high point. Except by association, in that the accident of the last night made me sure I'd fallen in love. A strange thing to do that, but seeing Louise lying there, strapped to the board and in pain, and wishing it had happened to me instead, made me realise how much she meant to me.

After 9 months of battling management over their stupid & illegal two-year-and-out policy, I'm getting reliable rumors that management wants to make a deal which will save the jobs of the people in my local.
