random

When was the last time you did something absolutely random and senseless? I don't mean the kind of senseless that makes people roll their eyes and sigh noisily at being stuck with you for another half hour on the bus, but the sort of senselessness that is beautiful in its randomness. Being around computers and learning how they're programmed to do what they do makes me appreciative of human randomness. Someone smiling at someone else for no reason, even the idiots who add you on MSN for no apparent rhyme or reason, they're all beautiful in their randomness. That's one edge we've got over those damn PCs. To change our mind for no reason, change it yet again, suddenly choose to go for Chinese instead, is all uniquely human.
