WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? My dumb keyboard is SO useless! You see the *-+ buttons on the number pad at the top right? They didn't work when I wanted to use them. So I considered ditching this keyboard and going back to the old one. But then after an hour I accidentally hit one of those buttons and it worked again. This company needs to go out of business for simply being able to make such a crappy keyboard.

My US paper is getting interesting. I'm writing the same points over and over again. I'm on about the 5th iteration now.

9:37PM

lol yes James, you are a nightmare... I think I was kidding when I wrote that.

This AP US paper is going to suck, because I don't feel like reading all of this preface to On the Origin of Species. It's so long. I think I can get by if I just get a 85 or so on this paper anyways.

This CD cleaning kit is so useless. It doesn't work at all. Pat knows as well as I do how useless this thing is. This keyboard is even worse. I keep missing when I try to hit keys. This reduces my typing like 40% because I have to backspace so much, and I miss the backspace a lot, too. It's really small. And the keys go down so little when I push them that sometimes I can't tell whether I've hit a key or not. And what's this Turbo key for? hahha does it increase my typing speed if I push it?

I got my computer to speak Chinese every time I boot. It will now say "System failed memory test" in Chinese. Well, dumb ASUS claims it's Taiwanese and that it's different from Chinese. They're stupid.

I'm going to go back to working now so that I don't have to stay up all of Thursday, which I'm going to do anyways.

5:54PM

Oops. I just inflated this page to 150% the size of the other ones.

There's nothing interesting in there, so if you didn't read it (I know you didn't) then you're not missing out on anything and it's ok.

The LAN party wasn't that great. It could have been better. People complained about "uneven teams" and stuff... and James came with fireworks... and people don't understand the verbal instruction "close door." James left with Pat to.... go shopping!?

Davita came for like 3 hours. Tricia came with her for 15 or 30 minutes. Davita managed to shoot a bunch of people. Gene got killed by her a bunch of times and I think some other people did too. Katherine came kinda late when just about everyone was gone except Wilcox (and Will). She watched me get exploded a few dozen times.

I do not understand why my "Multimedia Keyboard" has a little refresh button way at the top when there is a much bigger and easier-to-smack button a little bit below it and to the right labeled F5 and does the same thing (and it can do other stuff too). Also, half the dang buttons don't work. The most useful looking ones (previous, play/pause, stop, next) don't work! Useless!

Hey hey Eva, no need to be vulgar now... lol come on, you do randomly capitalize things and j00 used to use 00's in place of a lot of stuff, right?

I'll type more later, my mom gets mad whenever she sees the gray Rice Man on my screen. Right now she's next to me and I have this window on 80% transparent, but she's not going to not see for long.

I'm waiting for people to show up right now.

Last night I went to Yujing's house. Yujing, Charles, Lance, and I went to get food and we sat down. I'm not sure if Yujing and Lance started eating, but Charles and I definitely did. So his dad was like, let's shuo1 dao3 gao4. I was like huh? wtf is that? Charles was, too. We're failures. It's saying grace or something like that. So yeah... that was the first time I've pretended to do that and hopefully it will be the last, because I don't know what the hell I am supposed to do. I don't think I'm supposed to eat before that? lol

I just got so much useless crap. Free-after-rebate stuff anywhere from a 52x CD-RW to a useless universal remote control. I got two mice also. Useless! It was like $500 or so total. After tax and rebates, it's down to about $20 (before tax it's -$5 lol). Oh, I got a useless wireless router, too. I'm never going to use it as anything but a hub.

Arrr. I cant remember what I was thinking of writing because your entry isnt on here, whore.

Scroll down!!! The blog page with all the entries is directly under the comments box.

Today Charles is coming over and we're going to go eat all of Yujing's food. *rubs stomach and belches* Oops I forgot, that's supposed to happen after I eat.

Oh on that last entry, I forgot that "dinner" should be "dynna." My bad.

My grandpa tried doing physics for me and missed just about every problem... it took him like 8 tries on one of them to get it right. I think I'm going to have to do this stuff myself now =(

Today I woke up and Charles called me about 3 minutes after I took my shower. We were going to see Timeline at 1:30, but instead, we went to The Avenue and walked around for a while, then Frisbeed for an hour or so. By then it was 4:30 and we went to see the movie.

It was ok, but definitely worse than the book (as always). The entire movie I was waiting for the guy at the end to be covered with Greek fire and then for him to explode when he got spat on. It never happened. And the mill never exploded! I saw them next to it and I thought... yessss I'm going to see explosions... and it never happened. I guess if you wanted to you could call it a tease... lol

Later, a few came over to play ping-pong. I owned myself several times (huh? I thought I hit the ball... why's it behind me?) and Gene did too. We were on the same team, too. Guess which team lost.

I should be eating dinner. I shouldn't have eaten most of that bag of popcorn that I found randomly on the seat, because now I'm not hungry for real food.

Now, those are my words. Here's what would happen if Eva were to write that: ewwww~! i juz 8 greasee n butterie n fattening popkorn~! OMFG ima git soooooo fatt!! las weekk i only weighed 70 poundz n now itz 70.003~ omg i need a diet lyke, rite now. ima not eat dinner cuz mai tummie ish gonna b sooo huuuge if i d00.

I heard that the physics test grades were really bad. I didn't think they were that bad... I thought I did fairly well on it. A 48 wasn't really what I was expecting. Oh well. McLeod beat me =( lol and how does someone get a 4? If I had tried to do that, I would have accidentally gotten some right because I wouldn't know which answer choice is the wrong one... haha

I wore a tight maroon colored shirt from a Christian camp with a cross on the front and a huge cross on the back (in other words, flamingly homosexual). Unfortunately, Ms. Pepple didn't say anything. But what did happen was that Ms. Wise (my counselor) said hey to me in the halls and smiled for the very first time ever (at me, anyways). Maybe the cross on the shirt made her happy. How ironic that would be...

I wonder if Davita is actually going to come. I asked her today and she nodded and it seems like she's going to. But, how weird would that be to have her playing computer games for many hours? I mean, when's the last time you 6-pool-ed or AWP'd a girl in the next room? I know I've never done it.

Ms. Dutter told me to get some rest this week. She said that right after she told me I failed. I think we both see a correlation here.

8:22PM

I thought I was going to be able to sleep before midnight. But nooooo, of course that's against Murphy's Law. I had everything done at like 11:45, then I thought, fuck, AP Euro test tomorrow that I forgot about. So then I get out my study guide, and guess what, I don't have one. I don't know what chapter (well I don't have my book so it doesn't matter anyways) and I don't know what it's on at all. I slept through all the classes last week. So... I have to take a test blindly. Fun.

Today was an ok day. It was the first time I actually felt like sleeping during physics, and it was one of those uncontrollable dang-I-am-sleepy-so-I-will-immediately-fall-asleep-against-my-will kind of things. Unfortunately it was during a test. I had to rush through it so that I wouldn't fall asleep during it, and I fell asleep immediately after finishing. I don't think I did as well on that one.

Calculus test corrections... I can't believe I made all these stupid mistakes to start with. When Ms. Dutter heard what I got on this thing, she asked me if I was really tired when I took it. I think I was, because more than once I did like this:  a + b = 0, then a = b. I'm so stupid.

PCPOW was extremely easy, but how do you show this stuff using calculus?

My stupid light is annoying. It rattles whenever the speakers go boom. I should glue the light to the wall or something to keep it from rattling.

That mobo better get here in time, otherwise Charles is screwed out of anything to do on Friday. Or maybe Yujing, but I think he's getting Dean's? I hope so.

If I remember tomorrow morning, I'm going to bring Brussels sprouts and say that the Chinese brought them here when they were working on the railroad, so that's why we have them here. If I don't find them in the morning, maybe I'll bring some of my illegal beef... but that stuff is too good to give to the class.... I need to keep it for my own hungry stomach =)

Uh oh, I'm so screwed:

The calculus homework is so long... grr...

Nothing good happened today. I'm just waiting for Tuesday to go past.

11:40PM

Here we have Gene believing that I played computer games for 86 hours straight (it doesn't seem deserving of funny page status though):

nik3lbak: we should play for 76 hours and then die
icydog1: no i can last for 86
nik3lbak: cus that happened in malaysia
icydog1: i tried
nik3lbak: so funny
nik3lbak: HOLY SHIT
icydog1: last time i died it took me longer

4:42PM

I just spent an hour or two wiring my computer up to a 5.1 speaker system. Most of the work was done trying to wire 2 RCA cables for the speaker end of the wire into a 1/8" wire (like the kind headphones have) to plug into my computer. I turned on Winamp with my normal settings, and the bass killed me when the volume was at like 1%. So I had to actually reduce the bass... and the sound quality is awesome. Then I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why the left and right channels sounded the same... it ended up that I didn't have the speakers set to Dolby... how stupid.

But yeah, this sound is going to rock Friday.

Oh, I totally forgot about Brookwood... it sucked. We got somewhere between 5th and 8th (quarterfinalist) and got raped very hard-ly by Dunbar. Somehow their frisbee people scored one on us, letting them win 1-0 because of a lack of time. They only outnumbered us 9-7 this time and we let them score a point!?!? wtf.. disgrace. Anyways, I had to substitute with Dragos half and half, which is gay. Demotion from captain to 4.5th seat (neither of us really owns the 4th or 5th seat, I think, until I get another demotion). I did far better in this tournament than in the ones before, but it still sucked so badly.

There were very very many math questions, which wasn't the good fortune it usually is. These questions sucked, giving math people zero advantage over non-math people. Well over half the math questions were in the format "find the mean of the following numbers..." or "if Eric needs to bring his 86 average up to a 90 in his math class and the final is worth 40% of the final grade, then what does he need to get on the final?" LAME. Most of the science ones were ok, but some were still ridiculous. Anyone who heard that sound question knows how Fanoe got gayed on that one (but "tone" is still wrong).

RT, can't find roaches? No problem. Go to my old house. It's infested.

<INCRIMINATION object="self">I just got back from Charles's house. It was an interesting story. My mom insisted that I be home by 9, so I had to say ok. Then around 8:30, I called her and told her that I would have someone take me home. She sounded a little mad for some reason and said NO, I'm coming to pick you up. Weird. Charles isn't supposed to be having anyone over, and if his mom finds out (through my mom or otherwise) then he's dead. And I'll be dead for saying that only Craig and Dave were over. So we moved everyone's car (except Kristen's) down the street so that it wouldn't look like a lot of people were there, and then stuffed everyone in rooms upstairs. It worked pretty well and we got it set up quickly, but then Charles thought of a better idea. Say that someone's going home right then and could take me home. So I called my mom again, she sounded pissed-er, and grudgingly said ok. So I think we're not dead now. It was a close one, though.</INCRIMINATION>

I jammed a finger and slightly jammed another one while toying with Drew.

I'll write more here later. I have to make sure I get a good grade (lol) on the Macbeth test.

I'm sleeping early today =) I'm going to be ready for Brookwood tomorrow. Oh wait, did I say ready... I meant... awake. I forgot about studying for the Nobel prizes and stuff... oops... maybe I can cram some of that tomorrow morning.

Thanksgiving is going to own. I am going to buy more stuff next week (like, 3 or 4 things) than I've bought the rest of the year. lol maybe a little more than that. But anyways, I think all those rebates are going to end up returning more money to me than I will pay to buy the stuff.

And then Friday's LAN party is going to own too. It's been too long since I've touched a computer game, so it's time for some relaxation and shooting Gene repeatedly in the head with a sniper rifle at point-blank range and watching massive amounts of blood squirt out like Old Faithful. I think there's almost enough for a 3v3v3. Will's coming over and staying till Saturday, which owns too. And I'll probably have a motherboard shipped here by Wednesday, which allows me a day to build a computer for anyone who either doesn't have a computer to bring or has one that's so old it weighs 8.9 x 10³¹ Newtons, like Yujing or Dragos. Hopefully Wilcox can get an extra or two over here too. The electricity consumption is going to be ridiculous that day (something like 70-80 kWh). I hope the circuit breaker doesn't jump.

Someone needs to bring UT2k3. It's way too ownage to not play. Not only are there large amounts of blood, there are also large explosions (of conventional explosives, green bio-goo, and, of course, opponents). Oh two days ago, I was playing the demo for the first time in like a year, and time ran out like 1 second before I was about to score. The screenshot says it all (that's me with the flag, and the objective was to touch it to my blue flag at base).

9:38PM

Although I awesomely don't understand the math homework, I'm going to pretend I do understand and then not do it because I WANT SLEEP... that homework is so long! And my grandpa tried doing the worksheet (which I'm not even close to starting to do yet because I'm like 4 nights behind in homework) and he missed practically every problem and can't see why. Looks encouraging.

I think that when I die or go insane from lack of sleep, my mom will attack the school system with the weapons she's been accumulating. However, I know that the school will shoot out a "It was your son's fault because he chose to take those classes." Oh well, at least these weapons she has is enough to take out the Devil. You know, like that deadly weapon called "reason" and oh, get this one - "numbers." But she does have small-arms (a Colt, some ammo, and a few dozen hand grenades) if things start getting ugly.

Dangit I fell asleep doing Macbeth. I thought I was able to keep myself awake.

Since everyone's doing this thing, I figured I would too.

The Big Five Personality Test

Extroverted	||||||||||||	50%
Introverted	||||||||||||	50%
Friendly	||||||||||||	48%
Aggressive	||||||||||||||	52%
Orderly	||||||||||||	48%
Disorderly	||||||||||||||	52%
Relaxed	||||||||||	34%
Emotional	||||||||||||||||	66%
Openminded	||||||||||||	48%
Closeminded	||||||||||||||	52%

How interesting that only 2/10 of my scores lie outside the 48-52 range, showing that I have absolutely no personality whatsoever. I am completely devoid of a personality. And I got the highest score for emotional? I say this test is way flawed.

11:50PM

Ahhhh I'm so stupid. KT pointed out that it's Thursday... yeah... I had written Friday. And the last post says Thursday the 19th. This is what happens when I don't get to sleep! It's fixed now.

7:02PM

I think that the comment page now works in a sorta-satisfactory fashion. Give me more suggestions if you feel like.

Eating 馄饨 (wontons) today =) yummmmmmmm

The three nights of math homework that lie ahead of me don't look appealing at all. It's like trying to kill a duck with a sharpie. They both take a really long time. Might as well get started, then.

6:28PM

Responding to CiCi's comment today... It would be a real pain to include each comment above the comments, because that would either involve complex programming which I am not capable of, or it would require me to store each entry in a separate file. This would be a complete overhaul of my file format right now, so it's not really feasible. But, I can try to include the entire blog (everything you see on this page if you scroll down) on the comments page. I think it would be easier if it was below the comments box than above it, so people won't have to scroll down millions of lines to get to the box.

5:43PM

Yay... I get to sleep... for more than 0 seconds tonight.

I don't like how I have lost countless hours of sleep because of a class where we have to do 377 problems that are essentially (1) neglect x (2) if that doesn't work, use the quadratic formula. It seems like a waste.

I have stolen a comment script. Well, not really steal... it's free and I had to redo half the code. I'd like to give credit to Martijn ten Napel (http://www.noipo.org/) for this cool piece of software. Let's see how well it works.

4:54PM

The chemistry lab contains a certain absurdity that I would like to point out:
... and then add 1/2 drop of the base...
1/2 of a drop? That doesn't work. 1/2 a drop is still a drop, isn't it?

After the enormous hourage of sleep I got last night, I'm very sleepy. I walked into AP US, fell asleep, bell rang, and I woke up. I think I'm going to go to bed soon.

Whatever. I'm going to relax for a little while by playing some computer games which I have not touched since the beginning of the school year.

1:54PM

I tried looking at Eva's profile and it fried my Trillian. "trillian.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down..." lol I guess it was too obnoxious with the blinking scrolling size-changing fonts.

Chemistry involves way too much work. It's going to take me all night to get all this work done and the lab. And I'm going to fall asleep in Euro again tomorrow, and Ms. Boyd is going to yell at me again. I have a feeling that Drew told her I was asleep today (yesterday).

Today's physics worksheet looked like a major pain in the rear when I was trying and failing to do them during class, and I couldn't figure out how the do the only two I tried, but just now I did them without any problems. I think this is the first clear indication that I need more sleep (I took a nap when I got home before doing any work).

I love how I'm able to finish my homework at such an hour that people in China can ICQ me. (sarcasm.)

Today was a GAME tournament. I got raped by the senior test. I have accomplished my goal in life, though. If you don't know what my goal in life is by now (well, other than exterminating Ms. Bryan and getting Ms. Pepple to un-hate me), then you don't deserve to exist. Hint: GAME is a math tournament.

7:59PM

My week begins with more crappy news.

In the words of Fanoe, my life is a "pile of suck."

My stupid cat is so worthless. I was cleaning out my fish filter, which is 10 feet inside this place surrounded on three sides by trees. The dumb thing (and it's black) snuck up behind me and waited. So when I walked out of the place with the filter, I looked up and I saw this black thing looking back at me. I let out the funniest little noise I've ever created (which was so weird that the cat ran back a few feet after it heard me), and that cat scared me so much I jumped back about 6 inches. Dumb dumb cat.

No, it's not actually my cat. I just say it is because it follows me around a lot and it likes me. Its owner (don't know who that is) doesn't really seem to care for it either, which is sad. I saw it running around with a mouse or squirrel or something in its mouth one day, probably because it's so hungry. Maybe I should feed it.

Saturday, November 15, 2003

I totally fell asleep yesterday during zero, when we were reading Macbeth. I was awakened when Davita smacked my head because the dumb sub was walking across the room (that means toward my seat). If she saw me, she would have yelled at me, forced me to not sleep, written my name down, and then told the Devil to eat my soul. Oh wait, I don't have a soul any more. Someone ate it already.

3:47PM

I got a random ICQ, which doesn't happen much:
[09:56:42] 177477541: Hi! Need a sex?
Is this Gene? Who else would "need a sex"? haha

Every time I'm in the same room as Dragos for academic bowl practice, there's a Mars moon question. Every time. And not one has he missed so far. Like, "this moon in the solar system, with a diameter of xxx kilo"-BUZZ or "this moon, which will collide with Mars in 30 mil"-BUZZ! Crazy guy.

Downtown is not any better than East Cobb. Suck it.

Chemistry has just begun to not make sense (I couldn't figure out that example question).

I'm kind of bored. "Kind of" because I have homework to do, but I'm too tired to do it. I want to go to bed. I guess that means I need to be doing my homework, then.

Recently I have noticed more erectile dysfunction spams in my inbox. They must have noted that I am getting older. I think they decided that because I am now 1.32 x 10^-32 times more likely to have the disorder than last year, it would be worth it to bother me with more spam.

What a bastard! This is on www.RateMyTeachers.com, about Dutter (this person also gave her three 1's as ratings for easiness, helpfulness, and clarity):

Seriously one of the worst teachers I've ever had; she goes up there and whispers to the board for a little bit and then pops a quiz on you; class is very hard

Funny spam (from/subject): Gay-Atlanta.com     Fall Holiday Get-Away Weekend

I just got a priority mail from Phillips Academy (Andover). It's a little late... I'd only spend a year there anyways (it's a boarding school for grades 7-12). They actually sent me a whole package. Dang. I don't really like the idea of a boarding school, though. But then again, it would offer me the option of getting out of the Devil's class and keeping what self-respect I have left.

8:18PM

Yesterday, I got slightly un-lazier and started putting some color into the Funny page. I don't think it really makes much difference, though.

My resting heart rate has increased from 60 to 90 today. It's still up that high. At least it's not 160 like it was during zero period. The difference is caused by my fight-or-flight reaction. I think my body leans towards the "fight" half of it. I'm ready to kill someone.

During zero period today, I became madder than I've been any day of this entire school year (my memory doesn't work beyond August). I mean, I was (am) MAD. More so than even the bomb from a while ago. I wrote most of the poem for the interview stuff (Canterbury Tales, description of person group write) at home last night because I wanted to do it well and get a good grade (and make it rhyme, too). She never told us that we weren't allowed to do it at home. So far everyone in my class that I've talked to agrees on this point. She did tell us that we would have class time to do it. But this does not mean that we can't do it at home! There's plenty of class work that we are to take home to do. But she completely exploded at me today. I mean, it was a totally unjustified explosion of approximately the same magnitude as the bomb linked above. I did not realize that she didn't want us to do it. A lot of other people were going to do it at home, anyways, and some did already do it at home, and some are still going to even after witnessing the explosion (if you don't remember the explosion, it's partly because I saw her after class a few times). Eventually it got to the point when I had to say, "You are assuming that no one else has done it at home. Am I the only being punished because I am the only one you saw with a typed copy?" and her reply was (I remember this all too well): "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying." And her attitude and the look on her face was like, "so what are you going to do about it?"

The result was that it would "impact [my] grade." Which means that because she hates me and would give me a crap grade anyways, this would cause me to have a failing grade. After she found out that Jason (Gilbert) also did it at home, she decided that she would let us do it in class but it would have to be completely different from what we had done earlier. I don't see any sign of playing favorites here.

Oh wait, I almost forgot something. She humiliated me in front of all the classes. She didn't use my name, but who didn't know it was me? Well, except for the people who don't know me, I guess. That's not very many, though.

Ok that was a long one. I'll draw or Photoshop a graphic one day of her eating a baby. Oh wait, I don't need to Photoshop that. I can just take a good old-fashioned picture of it. Maybe I'll Photoshop her in an electric chair getting her brains fried. Oh dang. I just remembered. No brain to fry. I have to think of something really good now. How about her head being torn off by millions of killer bees? Poor bees. They might die of clogged arteries.

The Devil is going to love (sarcasm alert) this for my example of "arcane":

For the 161 genes that showed significant variation, the difference in expression between two individuals within the same population typically varied by a factor of 1.5, but varied by a factor of 2.0 or more for many genes ... For mRNAs encoding enzymes, changes of this magnitude could effect a larger change in reaction rates than the protein polymorphisms that influence enzyme kinetic constants (Km, Kcat and others).

7:57PM

Zero period today was probably the most productive day yet in the Devil's class. We wrote about the Canterbury Tales stuff. Our guy is a bus driver going to New York. He drives his "silver princess" with one hand on a Big Mac and the other on a steering wheel. hahaha

Half the chemistry class knew my grade on the AP US test before I had any idea of what I got. How did that happen?

I tried to teach the freshmen at math club today. I forgot a lot of the stuff that I was supposed to teach them, though. So I had a little trouble.

Dumb whore locker partner stole my physics binder. She thought it was her Spanish or something binder. I got so scared because 5% of our final grade is that dumb binder. I should have gone for the no-homework plan.

Michelle got mad at me for not going to see Steven yesterday! It's not my fault. No one called me to tell me when and where! Useless Koreans. (lol)

I'll end with my daily anti-religious invective. I was fooling with Norton and the Parental Controls (no, it's my computer and I put it there, my parents don't try to Parental Control me), and I thought it was hilarious that under Web site categories to block there was stuff like Drugs/Advocacy, like 9 different Sex categories, Violence, and.... Religion. Other interesting side note: Real Estate is also a category. That's so random...

I totally agree with some of these things. Check out what Ed wrote in his Xanga and my comments (in white):

I wonder if I'm going to Steven's thing...

4:15PM

Here's some stats for my site Mon-Fri of a recent week:

School hours are the ones in the middle. Who comes here during school? That little peak near 9-10AM is inexplicable. And at 6-7AM?

Anyways, there's supposed to be a surprise party for Steven. Of course, I don't know when it is. So that means I'm not going.

1:17PM

Whoa, wacked. In the past 7 months, there have been 21MB, 4.5MB, and 71KB of transfer between here and China, Korea, and Egypt, respectively. Rigged?

Charles's computer gets around a lot. Dang. It's like the kind of computer sluts. It's got a disease (in highly super technical terms that some of you may not be able to handle, it's called a virus) that was discovered only 3 days ago. That's pretty quick if you ask me.

Writing Ms. Bryan's transcript is taking forever. On average, I have to repeat parts 3 times to get it down right, and the thing is 35 minutes long... And I type fast, so the main problem isn't typing, it's the [lack of] clarity of the thing. Oh well. I feel sorry for those who type really slowly. I mean, those people who type at 20 wpm... that's like 10 repeats...

10:46PM

In a sense, WISC was a success. Other than the fact that we had a very few GRRRR 9 teams, it went well. The two main points I saw that needed to be worked on was the awards ceremony and the keeping track of workers' hours (which isn't really even that important). The awards ceremony wasn't done as well as it could have... the certificates weren't presented with the best of efficiency. But it still went fairly well.

Parkview won, of course. I got to see Leo, two other of his Parkview people (James and Henry), and Chun and this other guy who was Charles's buddy in tech (what's his name?).

Those underfreshman girls... they don't like doing work properly. Especially Vijay's sister. If you get kicked out of a tournament room by the reader, then that tells you something.

There were 9094 excess fragments before the defragmentation run

lmao @ Dingting (from his profile, in size 36pt/HTML#6 font): I FUCKING WASTED 10 HOURS AND A FOURTH OF MY CHECKING ACCOUNT TODAY. FUCK YOU FATE AND/OR FORTUNE AND/OR PROBABILITY AND/OR HEISENBURG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE. hahahahahaha that's so something I would write.

Last night (that would be Wednesday night), I had to study for chemistry and do the homework. Well, I got a little sleepy. I feel asleep about 4 times on the toilet (I didn't fall in or off). Then while half-asleep, I had to use my plunger because the stupid toilet doesn't flush hard enough (although it's much better than the old house). Luckily my awakeness level was high enough to not splash waste all over my face. Needless to say, I didn't study or do the homework. Surprisingly, my mom didn't care that I didn't do the homework. I tried to do it in 5th period, but I forgot about MathFAX... so I only got done through #32 or so. Ms. Pepple is going to kill me.

Then today, Ms. Bryan's vocab test sucked. It was made so poorly. I got an 89 on it even though I knew all the words, their definitions, and I could (can) use them in a sentence. Lame. As if I am not insulted enough by having to see her every day, she asks me if I can handle the class and if I would like to drop out. Yes bitch, I want to leave the AP class so that I can take a 3.5 instead of 4.0 GPA credit for my B. NO!

I would like to take a moment to point out that Newton High School is retarded. They emailed me last night (11/5) and asked if it's too late to register for WISC. The deadline was 10/24! IDIOTS. That forced me to make two copies of every score-keeping implement, wasting an hour or two of my time. And they don't even reply to my email! (this means they are not coming)

I'm wondering if it would make more sense on this page to define a day as being a logical day or a real day. What I mean by logical day is the period between when I wake up at 6AM or so and when I sleep at 2AM or so. The separator is my sleep time, instead of midnight. It sorta makes more sense. But it would be rigged.

Apparently my feeling that it's really hot in here isn't a delusion. I took a thermometer (it's about time) and measured around my seat in the basement. Where my legs are, it's about 93^oF, and it's about 87^oF above the desk. This is during the cold season when the outside temperature can be 40^oF!

I'm tired of doing WISC stuff. ahhhhh so tiring!!

I have to do dry lab today... and read chem chapter... and then tomorrow is AP US night... great.

No amusing stories to tell today.

Ah ha. I now "remember" that hotel place we went to last night, after reading CiCi's Xanga. The Westin! duh... lol

That dumb picture with me on the balcony is so goofy! It's all Davita's fault. I'll get her back for it soon enough.

1:02PM

Back from CiCi's party. It was a blast. That was like the first time I've gotten out since the beginning of the school year. It's a change for the better. So we went to that restaurant and some hotel place (dang it what is it called??). We had fun, and it was great. Thanks, CiCi!

What else...

WISC is screwed. I don't know what we're going to do about this. I have a lot of work to do today on it.

Ok time to sleep.

[9:21PM] Some dumb just called me and I'm on the phone. I hear 97.1 FM in the background. I don't know whether this dumb is in a car or at home or something. If this dumb is you, then please tell me so I can replace "dumb" with your proper name. I hear no people talking and no intelligible object noises (like a knife cutting veggies or doors closing). I say hello every 30 seconds or so and I keep getting no response. The dumb dumb blows into the phone (on purpose or not, I dunno) every once in a while. Now I no longer can clearly hear the radio. There's still something in the background though, possibly a TV or maybe the radio. I hear channel-flipping but still cannot distinguish whether it is a TV or radio. I hear terrible music now. [9:28PM] I now hear Linkin Park - In the End and it's really clear. I tried so hard, and got so far... I hear gas something 14 cents per gallon and 40 cents something. Must be a radio commercial. Star 94! Ok, that's radio. Awww I heard some clicking and now it's blank. I keep hearing smacking sounds now at regular 3 or so second intervals. Now it sounds like the smacking is going to some weird tune. By smacking, I mean like smacking your lips. Ok, dumb is trying to do like techno sounds with his/her mouth. It's sounding really ugly right now. [9:33PM] Dangit dumb hung up!

9:34PM

Rainbow tables? Ownage! Yeah... don't read it if you're not a total computer geek like me. Generating these stupid tables uses 100% CPU and is forcing me to turn on full fans in order to not fry my CPU. It was overheated 25 degrees F above the normal temperature.

My mom finally let me go to CiCi's party. I told her a bunch of times that we don't have school on Tuesday, but I guess she didn't hear. No wonder she wanted me to get some rest and sleep Monday night instead of going out.

I am now going to try to tie a tie. Deadly.

Ok, my mom's yelling at me, so I have to go do some work now.

8:07PM

I'm going to kill College Board. The one night that sounded like fun, I couldn't go. GRRRRR. Why do they have to make the only SAT II for Chinese the stupid day after Halloween!?!?

Back from practicing parallel parking and backing into parking spots. I'm a little better at it now, but I don't know if it's acceptable. I think I will just go take that test some time and then come home too embarrassed to say I failed.

5:50PM

I have this awesome feeling of missing like 5/85 on the Chinese SAT II. That's like a 700. In case you didn't know, the Chinese SAT II is scaled pretty harshly, because missing 1 question pretty much excludes you from the 800 club. Either way, an 800 is still like 77th percentile. However, 700 is better than fail. When Charles and I got there, the lady was like do you have your cassette player and earphones? Uh, excuse me? What? Apparently in the instructions it said to bring a handheld cassette player and earphones. Neither of us saw that, so we would have not been able to take the test if the people next door hadn't been so nice as to let us use theirs.

Confirmed: the Devil hates me.

Once I learn to parallel park effectively, and to back into a parking spot, I think it's going to be time to take the driving test. Then I have to find time to do driver's ed...

I haven't reformatted in 6 months and I lost my detailed procedure to follow while reformatting... great.
