If L is the length of the snake and T is the thickness of its body wall, and the snake swallows up to length S, the snake's growing diameter is given by R=2T(1+int(L/(L-S))).
Since the horizontal diameter of the snake-donut (measured out to the snake's axis) can't get smaller than the width of the snake, S is constrained such that 2T(1+int(L/(L-S))) is less than (L-S)/pi.
Say the snake in the picture is 1m long and has a 1cm body wall thickness. This means it can't swallow more than 74 cm of its tail before it closes up completely. At this point it will have swallowed its own tail nearly four times.
If you forgot to impose the length restriction, you'd find that the snake would contract in width but grow in vertical thickness, so you'd have the snake donut rising out of the horizontal plane toward infinity while contracting its diameter. However, this relaxed constraint means that opposite points in the snake donut that are both in the horizontal plane would start overlapping themselves, so the whole thing would remain as a sphere with a particular maximum radius. Though it's fairly straightforward, I'm not going to work out the volume of the resulting sphere -- because honestly I've had it with this motherfucking snake on this motherfucking plane.

the "me" in this is Colin.

me: what on earth is that purple stuff?
Kyle: cornstarch
me: what is it in?
Kyle: a speaker
me: excellent!
I will have pet corn starch in their own big speaker habitats posted as sentries on either side of my door to my dream home
Kyle: the cornstarch will no doubt dance to the songs of the Indigo Girls
me: I listened to every indigo girls CD there is the other day
and then watched three year's worth of Lilith Fairs on Youtube
and then listened to some Paula Cole
I think I may be pregnant now
Kyle: I can't believe I dated a lesbian
me: I told jake that I did this, and he became concerned for me
Kyle: it is kind of messed up
me: well it's not like I sat in front of my computer in a dakrened room, rolled up in my blanket while I listened, crying, over the crinkle of empty luna bar wrappers
Kyle: I'm not convinced you didn't
me: I was doing things, and it was good Being Industrious music
Kyle: and good industrious years-of-lilith-fair-watching
me: well, I only watched a few of those in front of the computer
the rest I cranked up and listened to while cleaning
Kyle: doesn't change the fact that you're a total lesbo

"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversation with anybody."
I'm on the verge of total dissociation.
I need a few days, I think.

So I said I'd post this a long time ago, but I kept on putting it off. The truth is, I had it written but I really didn't feel like I had any reason to share.
Adam, as some of you may know, kept on asking me to explain myself, to tell him why I was so introverted, why I was the way I was, and why I act the way I do.
But here's my thing. I owe you nothing. I don't owe anybody an explanation for who I am, or why I am that way.
I may sometimes say "Hey, I'm sorry that I can be kind of difficult" or "I'm sorry if I'm somewhat withdrawn or unresponsive emotionally".
I was halfway through trying to justify why I am the way I am when I decided it was bullshit, and I just quit. Well. Probably not even halfway.
But this is as much as I got before I decided it was pointless, and before I decided that I didn't have to justify myself. Why am I posting it? Why not, I guess.

So I'm becoming increasingly frustrated, in general.
My mom claims that she's unwilling to get involved with my college education at this point, and that she is "leaving it up to me", yet she insists on getting involved in every decision and questioning me at every turn.
I say "I want access to my money, so I can actually pay for this and my books."
And she says "Well, I think you should do your finances this way."
The problem is, that her way is more complicated than it needs to be. Here is the way things stand, as it is.
( Money )
( School )
( Work )
( Socializing )
Things are going pretty well, though, all in all.
I have a bunch of good news, which I'm not going to really get into on here. Because it's personal.
(like all that wasn't, right?)
But it's actually personal, as opposed to just being a big update/dump about whats going on in my life.

No I didn't think you were wrong
and I can still sing your favorite song.
It's not as simple as forgetting presents that were bought,
and not a day goes by when I don't spare you a thought.
Not a day goes by, not a day goes, not a day goes by.
A time when everything was evergreen.
Evergreen and seemingly ideal.
Nights turning into days and we didn't even notice the change.
Not a day, not a day goes by.

Heres what ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sturmwalzer asked me.

"
sometimes you wake up at 2 am and realize that your clothes still smell like a dumpster, because you unintentinoally parked outside a landfill earlier in the day, and made your car smell like it on the way home. And hence, your clothes. And hence, you.
And then you just want to shower and go back to sleep."

So I joke around a lot. About violence.
About murder.
About killing people I don't like.
I might actually punch Hugh in the fucking mouth tonight, I'm that pissed.
Right now, I hate everything. And I don't care if it deserves it or not.
Also Liam, I'm sorry that I took you off my livejournal, myspace, and facebook friends lists, but every time I look at anything you post anywhere, a little part of me wants to die. And that's not me taking this out on you when you don't deserve it. Because I feel like if you want an explanation (if you even noticed), you deserve it.
Blah blah whatever.
