[complich8]

I'll play along...

ashamed:
- Never so much as touched the functional programming model.
- Made it through the project part of compilers largely on my partner's coattails.
- My inability to apply effort in a consistent way.

proud:
- I'm reasonably good at everything I've ever really put an effort into doing.

- I lot of the things I think about and get myself into are somewhere between esoteric and downright unique.

2k7:
- 270: another 10%

Necessities:
- Food (a man's gotta eat)
- Computing power (a geek's gotta code)
- The Internet
(actually I could live without computers and the internet, it would just be a lifestyle change for me ... I'd have to find myself something else to keep me intellectually engaged, and that would probably be books)

Envy:
- Happy couples
- People with personally fulfilling jobs that also pay well
- People who own boots (I'm somewhat trapped in my apartment right now, because I only have regular shoes and there's close to 2 feet of snow on the ground).
