so, as you've been here a while now, based on a scale of one to ten (one being suicidal and ten being absolutely amazing), how many marks out of ten for life?

i would have to go for a 7.5....

sure, it can be bad at times but on the whole, if your outlook is a good one and you try to keep a smile and laugh at people when they cry (my favourite) it can be pretty good

But smearing 4D data to one number is totally misleading. I mean, you find out you have an STD, and gave it to your boyfriend, I would judge that day to be a 1 or -1. 6 months before, you win a lottery, a million dollar check is in the post office waiting for you. You have to give that day a 10 for sure. So what do you do with those numbers? Go half and half, give yourself a 5? Which says you basically are living a very boring lifestyle and never take chances... So I say life's experiences are too dynamic to glue a single number to.

Good things:
- Lots a sweet lovin'
- Lived in various countries
- Used more drugs than the average touring funk band
- Drank more booze than Shane McGowan in a brewery
- Have had (and have) excellent jobs
- Sunroof in my car
- Good tunes all around me
- Lots of friends and very close with my family.

Bad things:
- Hangovers (proof that Bacchus doesn't exist)
- Lived with a nazi and psychopath for a short while
- Shat my way through India for 3 months

Yeah.. I'd have to rank my life around a 9.3

I'm with sonhouse: part of a day or month being a 1 is that I can't even conceive of life ever not being a 1, and on a day or (once) a year that's a 10, I'm completely indestructible. sonhouse's use of "four-dimensional" is telling -- one's mindset at different times is as that of different people at the same time, so averaging this dubious measure over a lifetime is like averaging it over some crowd at a specific instant, which doesn't really say much.
