The Isolation Journals (Day 5)
The Isolation Journals (Day 5)
Following the Isolation Journals by Suleika Jaouad
Day 5: Find a good spot in front of your favorite window. What do you see? Write about the view—this can be a description of what’s unfolding right now, or you can branch off into a fictional reality. Maybe the window is open and sounds, smells, and a breeze are slipping in; maybe there are people in the street, maybe it’s empty. Either way,…

So there are a few things in Good Omens that keep gnawing at me. The business suits in Hell. The (de)motivational posters in Hell. Crowley and Aziraphale’s changing fashions over time. The Spanish Inquisition being attributed to Crowley mostly because of his proximity to it (a commendation for which he definitely didn’t expect). Even Nazis in general and the bombing of London in particular. But mostly Crowley’s line, “Lovely, clever human people inventing cars and motorways and windscreen wipers.”
Neither Heaven nor Hell would have even thought to invent any of these things, good bad or neutral. Mostly because they don’t think—with two notable exceptions, of course.
When Crowley tempted Eve to eat the apple, he tempted her to think, to question, to investigate, to invent, to create. In that sense, tempting Eve (and by extension Adam), Crowley opened the door to bringing humanity closer to divinity than either angels or demons, themselves fallen angels.
And from Eve to Adam (Young), humans continually outstrip Aziraphale and Crowley in their ability imagine both good and evil, even considering Crowley’s unique ability among demons—imagination. He could never have imagined the Inquisition or Nazis or Bentleys. And Aziraphale could never imagine the divine things one Roman restauranteur could do with oysters or what his favorite sushi chef could do with raw fish or even the pleasures of hot chocolate.
Angels and demons, it appears, are incapable of expressing creativity. Even Gabriel admits, “I do like their suits”—presumably something angels wouldn’t have thought to design. Angels can’t even dance. But humans can both design fashion and create dance steps.
Purely by human influence, Azi learns to dance and Crowley grows his own garden. It’s true, Azi only knows one dance and Crowley puts the fear of himself into his plants to discourage them from brown spots. But they’re growing—something neither Heaven nor Hell is interested in and one assumes is incapable of doing.
Heaven and Hell are stagnant, waiting for orders, entirely absent of creativity or imagination or even just critical thinking. They follow orders and forget that the ineffable cannot, by definition, be ordered.
It’s not humans whom God tempts to destruction—it’s angels and demons. Humanity, in fact, saves Heaven and Hell precisely because they are closer to God—closer to ineffability—than either side of this celestial rugby match. Azi and Crowley spent 6,000 years not only with each other, but with humanity. They were the footholds humanity needed to ensure Heaven and Hell didn’t muck it up for the rest of us.
And as both Einstein and Herself confirmed: God does not play with dice. She knew Crowley, by his own nature, would encourage the humans to ask questions; She knew Azi would empathize with their plight and give them his flaming sword for protection from the elements. In the end, neither one did the good/right or bad/wrong thing.
Azi and Crowley did the ineffable thing.
They not only saved the world so they could drive too fast through London and shoo customers away from buying precious books—they saved Heaven and Hell from themselves.
Moving Too Fast
Have you ever felt like life was moving too fast?
I spent the earlier half of my senior year writing countless essays and waiting for my college decisions; uneventful days, stuffed with desperation, filled my days. I wanted to know where I would go, I wanted to experience life out of the familiar four walls I’ve been living in my 18 years, and I wanted to start anew in a completely different…

Dearest Sunburst…
Dearest Sunburst,
I actually don’t know what sort of flower you are, but I’ve always imagined that you were called “Sunburst,” with your bright pink flowers and yellow center. It was as if God took the two most hopeful, daydreamy, romantic colors and dipped you in them. I remember my father forcing me to take a picture with you the first time you finally emerged and signaled the end of a frigid,…

The End of a Long Journey
The End of a Long Journey
Well, folks, here we are.
It’s March 29th, 2019, and I have no more college decisions coming out. It truly is the end of a long journey, the end of an era.
I started narrowing down my list and brainstorming my essays back in August of 2018; eight months have passed since then, and while the days weren’t all filled with thoughts of the next four years, they’ve definitely been in my subconscious.…

Closer and Closer to D-Day
Closer and Closer to D-Day
Each day feels like an eternity and a blink of an eye; April approaches like a fatigued slug, slowly but surely inching its way forward, and yet I can’t believe that March has sprung up on me so unexpectedly. I can’t believe that in one month, I’ll know where I’ll be spending my next four years, and I can’t believe that 3.6 million students will graduate with me in the upcoming months, many of…

My buddy read an article about octopus intelligence. It was feeding time, and the handler dumped some shrimp into an octopus’ tank. Then he went into another room and sat at his desk.
A while later, a shrimp was tossed onto his desk.
The octopus, upon finding one bad shrimp in the lot, had grabbed it, escaped its tank, crossed the hall, and threw the expired shrimp at its caretaker. Not only does this showcase their problem-solving capabilities, but also that it could have escaped at any time. It just broke out this time to chuck an off shrimp in indignation at its handler. That’s not just intelligence, that’s a human-like reaction. Kinda make you wonder exactly how smart these guys can be…
OH MY GOD
I went to the aquarium once and we had a tour and we walked past the octopus tank and it was duct taped shut so I asked why and the guy was like. “Well, we had a problem before because these fish were disappearing randomly at night and we had no idea why. Turns out the octopus had memorised the night guards rounds and would creep out of its tank, crawl across the floor to the fish tank, have a little snack and be back in its own tank with the lid shut before the guard came back.” they are super smart
I love octopuses so, so much.
@_@
I am both delighted and FUCKING TERRIFIED.
Once I went to the aquarium where they had a baby pacific red octopus in a tank. I had gone there to work on a few real life sketches, obviously I wanted to do one of an octopus. So I kinda just kneeled in front of the tank, and started sketching. The octopus didn’t mind, he sat happily. Then, 5 minutes later, he started moving to the front of the tank, where I was. This tiny octopus faces me directly and starts posing. I don’t know how other to explain it but he started curlung his tentacles in this really graceful way then wouldn’t move for a few minutes. Then again, a new pose. That tiny cute motherfucker knew I was drawing him.

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2019 is treating you well, and that you’re still sticking to your resolutions! The middle of January is often the time when I miss one day for my resolutions, and thus start slacking off every day afterwards–well, not this year.

What I'm Learning Throughout the College Admissions Process
What I’m Learning Throughout the College Admissions Process
This year has definitely been the most eventful year of my life, by far. Before, I’d heard of senioritis, of being unable to fall asleep at night, of escalating fights at home as tensions run high, and I never believed that that would happen to me. Lo and behold, here I am, a war-seasoned veteran. However, I’m also grateful for this process—I learned so many things both about myself and about my…

Getting Into College Will Not Solve Your Problems
As we get closer and closer to that January 1st deadline and to early action decisions in December, I honestly haven’t been able to sleep! I’m sure many of you seniors are in the same boat with me; after all, our next four years are on the line–wait, that’s not my point here. Let’s backtrack a bit.
I had a realization about a week ago, and it was this: I’ve been saying that if I get accepted to…
