Do plants have a soul?

I was just preparing all my stuff to move to Vegas when I was thinking about some VERY DRAMATIC THINGS I saw in the "Plants" episode of Life that Regina gave me (thanks Secret Santa!) Plants are pretty awesome. Especially the fact that there are carnivorous plants!

Now follow me if you will, to ponder what kinds of things have souls? Living things, riight? Well then if that's the case, then shouldn't plants have souls? Most of them live to worship the sun, spreading their CRAAAAZY prayer leaves out in every direction. Still others are evil, like Venus fly traps eating insects to absorb their souls. Maybe it would be acceptable to eat carnivorous plants, if only we could get them to be delicious and fruit bearing. I mean, why not experiment a little more with the tree of life? Plants are just our distant cousins!



well what i'm proposing is further evil science with this plants section to produce





What if a soul is just that mysterious additional quantity that appears when the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts? We're all made up of tiny cells, that appear to have a will all their own, to reproduce and thrive, yet when they come together they serve an entirely different purpose all together. Maybe that's what our soul is, our will to live.

NOW THAT I'M DONE! (almost)

I turned in my research paper to my prof yesterday over the internet. He emailed me back like "i'll take a look at it, but is this what you're turning in for the research class?" and i'm like... uh... ya? and then he said "OK, this should be fine!"

So I'm like WOW! I have never felt so great about an OK before, but if he says its fine, then I don't have to worry about it anymore! So i'm just procrastinating about reading for psychology, and I've decided I should come up with some goals over the next 8 months to accomplish. So here are some kind of... low tier goals that I can accomplish... maybe

1. Tutor 300 hours
2. Get 50 customers a night in my restaurant on Friday and Saturday
3. learn how to play this:

Perfect for a warm summer night by the pool rite?
4. Build a computer storage box that doubles as a table for the restaurant
5. Buy a 2nd tv, and then remount two tv's on the left side of the restaurant. Run wiring through the ceiling
6. Design a night menu that goes on all the tables (laminated, 14"x11")
7. Put cong yo bing on the night menu (so as not to compete with Emperor's Garden upstairs)
(OKAY THIS IS TURNING INTO A TASK LIST... I cannot separate goals from tasks...)
8. Secure a low-volume water pump and a DC motor
9. Mount a potentiometer with a torsional spring to serve as a throttle for the motor
10. Make motorized bicycle
11. RECOUP INVESTMENT LOSSES! ($1500!)
