{variables} (for) 5.27.12

I hate math. The numbers and equations, lines and graphs, patterns and circles, variables and givens, formulas, and on and on and on. Nothing ever works out just right, instead I end up with a jumbled mess of numbers that don't make any sense at all. “f” functions in my life as one big nuisance, “x” equals pain, and parabolas are maxima trouble. No, I like words. I can manipulate them so that they make sense and sound good, I like symbolism, and annotating, and explicating.

Numbers just are not my thing. And there's nothing variable about that.
