When I found this task, I first decided to make a graph that charted my current needs, using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a basis for what to document.


And then I realized that not only was there a difference between desires and needs, but that everyone else had already done something similar. That, and my graph looked like crap, and crap just doesn't belong on a Aesthematics task. So I decided that if I wanted to be unoriginal and lame, I might as well try to rip off the source of this task: Jacques Lacan's Graph of Desires.

However, after three hours of struggling through incomplete essays and having to check Wiktionary every ten words I read, I somewhat gave up on trying to understand something that was clearly beyond that of a high school student, particularly one who hated math in the first place. So instead, I decided to take the concepts that I did know and make up the rest in a way that I could understand.

Feel free to ask if you don't understand parts of this very confusing graph. I'll try to explain as best as I can. Oh, and in case my ability to draw clear charts is truly that inept... My one desire is to be with a certain rogue.
