Day after tomorrow I plan on undertaking an intensely surreal experience. I will not eat for twenty-four hours, and on top of it stay up all night and wander around the campus. Complete self-deprivation, as it were. I'll keep my clothes, since that would be illegal and it'd be cold, but no food, no shelter, no sleep. As close as I'll get to... I don't even know. Here are the rules I will follow:
1) No eating from 0:00 on Tuesday to 0:00 on Wednesday.
2) No sleep after 9:00 on monday to 0:00 on Wednesday.
3) From sunset on Monday to Sunrise on Tuesday, I will not sit down, I will only walk, no matter how tired I get.
4) I may stop, but rarely. There will be enough on the UBC campus to keep me occupied outside all night.
5) I'll take pictures occasionally. These will be the courtesy of my laptop.
6) I may drink water.
7) I may enter other buildings as long as I remain in accordance with the other rules.
Since I'm a fan of things coming in sevens, I'll stop there.
Vancouver branch, over and out.

Our place is everywhere
One bored college student and all the railways in the world.
Obligatory Mission Statement
The wonderful thing about railroads is that they go on forever. You can walk along one for hours and hours and hours and still not have gone anywhere, you'll be right where you started, since there's still an exquisite eternity behind you and endless distance before. There might be grass growing between the tracks, there might be a sort of hidden mystery to the way they spring up between buildings and behind places no one sees. But they're there, waiting, longing for past times to return.
Undique nostrus locus est
Our place is everywhere
