Whoops, I forgot to thank someone for our victory at state. Thanks to Parkview for slaughtering us the past two years and giving us something to work towards. Without you guys, we wouldn't have practiced as much and would likely have been fried by Westminster or North Springs.

Storytime. There's this physics problem in the textbook having to do with this 272kg steel disk with 38 cm either radius or diameter (it really doesn't matter...), rotating at 14,000 rpm (holy freaking crap!). The objective is to test the thing so that if it breaks, the engineers can find out what went wrong. Well, the container busted. The 900 kg (!!!) lid blew off and went through the ceiling. The machine exploded into a mess. The door of the room flew into an adjacent parking lot. A lead brick in the container flew out and shot through a guy's kitchen. Some megajoules of energy were released. I asked Mary if she had taken a look at this problem, and her response was that it reminded her of ME when she read it. What!??!

Then another interesting story about my cell phone. This time, Mary didn't kill me. We were riding back from Milledgeville, and I noticed that Gene's number called me an hour or two ago (while I was asleep, presumably). So I ask Gene, "hey, do your parents know my cell number?" He says no. Then I say like three meaningless words (I forgot what they were) and guess what, my phone goes off. Now the mystery is how they got my number.

And holy crap, Gene's dad is the meanest/rudest person ever. I think the next time he tells me to drive slower than 5 mph I'm going to run him over at 6 mph and see if he can get out of the way quickly enough. When I asked him "is Gene home?" he told me "I don't know" and turned away. What kind of an asshole does that? I wouldn't even do that to the Devil. At the very least, I'd just lie and say no.

Then another interesting story about not a cell phone. Ronjon and Dragos were here working on mission possible, and Ronjon goes to get donuts. By this time, he'd been at my house for six hours and no one had called asking for him yet. Before he leaves, he says "hey what happens if my mom calls?" I didn't think it was going to happen and I told him I'd say he's in the bathroom. So he goes, and not 20 seconds after he goes upstairs, the phone rings. I joke to Dragos and say this has to be Ronjon's mom. Hey, guess who it was? So I told her that he was "maybe" at my house, and I went upstairs, and he had just left. So I told her he was probably in the bathroom.

I will not go to a strip place with you, especially if you are Drew. The true reason doesn't really have to do with Drew's "man who doesn't like boners" hypothesis. You know my attitude toward sluts. I might go there if I accidentally swallow arsenic pills and found out that my sister ate all the ipecac.

Good thing I used 8 and a half hours on mission possible, right? I think everything after this won't take as long. Now I really have time to do homework.

10:56PM

HELL YES!

STATE CHAMPIONS!!

I'd like to thank some people. Ms. DangitIforgothername (the one next to Mrs. Dutter's room), for letting us commandeer her room for an afternoon and practice. Ms. Boyd, for giving me that sheet about (of all inventions) the thermos bottle/Dewar flask, which was a question in the final round. Even Dragos gave me a funny look after that question. I want to thank Charles for reading and staying really late for us. Most of all, Mrs. Dutter, for staying really really late every time we practiced (which, because we aren't dorks, was like six hours every afternoon), for giving us food ("I guess all the popcorn was worth it"), for taking us there, for encouraging us... and a lot of other stuff. Yes, the one about encouraging us was such a blatant lie that I should be un-freedom-of-speech-ed for it.

It is absolutely unbelievable that something I learned in AP Euro would possibly show up in the final round of a science bowl tournament. Their questions were very good too, unlike the questions we practiced with and anticipated. The only questions anyone asked was like "Will there be any 'all of the above' or 'none of the above' answer choices?" and the answer was no. Our team jumped up because we were so happy that we would not be gayed by all of the above gayness.

Can you believe I actually didn't update this page for a whole day? Too busy with Gene and Ronjon preparing [ping-pong skills] to become state champs. That slacker Dragos just slept. Actually, it probably would have been nice if we slept too, but I'm not sure. That earth science/topspin that got crammed [into Ronjon's face] was far superior to sleep.

Last year, Parkview raped us in the first round and put us in the losers' bracket (double elim). Then later, after they got beaten by Westminster, we had to face them again. We were winning in the first half of the game, but then they came back and slaughtered us again.

This year, we played them twice again. Before the first encounter during the preliminary round-robin thing, we were both undefeated. The second time, we were both in the losers' bracket, again. The first time wasn't so bad, and we won by 14 points. The second time, our heart beats were getting very irregular and fast, our blood pressure was looking more like the answer to an ugly integration problem (like 84π/187), and our adrenal glands had become shriveled and dried up. Pat's heart would have exploded. That match was more intense than anything I've done in a long time. Then we won by four points and we experienced shock from sudden drop in blood pressure. I couldn't walk straight to the trash can to throw away tissues, and when I stood up I almost fell over due to the blood draining from my brain.

I started out the day with suck. Teams drew from a hat (well, not really a hat) to determine seating in the two round-robin things. Parkview drew before us, and we had a 2/5 chance of being with them. I am so skilled that my hand immediately gravitates toward one of the slips of paper that put us right next to Parkview. At first, I thought our first game was with them, which depressed everyone. Then we found out that I'm dumb and that we'd have 3 warm-ups before Parkview. The highlight was 202-8. In that game, Ronjon and some other kid tied for the opposing team's top scorer at four points apiece.

After the prelims and then lunch, which was full of fat, we played Westminster. We got screwed 54-60. The reason I say fat is because it seems like every time I eat anything fat, I suck at life. This seems to always happen more to teams that I'm on than the opposing teams, too. I QD'd and presented the other team with 8 or 12 points. That decided the match, of course. This is sounding like freshman year, when I decided the match against Parkview with a non-responsive computer science (back when they had computer science!). Something about twisted pair.

After the loss against Westminster was the Parkview game, which I had already mentioned. Funny thing is, we beat Parkview by such a narrow margin twice, but North Springs beat them like 70-30 (how did that happen?). Then we beat North Springs 128-12. Just wait until next year, when Parkview's all-junior team and our all-junior team gets together for the ultimate showdown. That will be the best game ever.

So then, the finals. We were in the losers' bracket and Westminster was undefeated, so it was going to be fun because we'd have to beat them twice. Apparently our one loss to them was a fluke.

It seems that we did better than everyone else toward the end. This means that our six-hour marathon training had an effect. They got tired after 8 rounds while we were just getting started.

And there was a snail question! The question was something about a parasite, and snail was an answer choice. Just for the record, Ducks and CiCis (it's funny - maybe I'll explain if you ask) did not appear in the question or answer choices of that question. You know, I wish I could use 3D modeling, or better yet, animation, to draw our little scene. That would be SO awesome.

Type I and Type II error. Don't you love descriptive names like this? I totally took a 50% chance on an early buzz on one of these. I think I was a little too jumpy. I'll probably take a stat textbook and read it for pleasure before May.

I fell asleep on the way back, and during my nap, I only woke up for 5 seconds. It seems funny to me that during those 5 seconds, nothing good happened, and I farted pretty loudly. I mentally slapped myself several times and pretended to have never woken up to avoid having to deal with Mrs. Dutter making fun of me.

She drove like 80 mph down some road. Exactly what you'd expect from her.

That reader who looked like Einstein looked less like Einstein this year. However, this was complemented by the addition of a Bill Gates.

Can't you just imagine the Devil when she finds out we're missing that exam for Nationals? "Whhhaaaaaaaaaatt? You're missing an AP exam for some important science thing where you can win calculators, laptops, and thousands of dollars???"

dropzero2000: stupid indian bastards

Leo's talking about Ronjon and the stupid Indian bastard on his team who didn't go to science bowl because he wanted to go to prom, which conflicts with nationals.

I have to go pee and blow my nose, so I'll stop writing now. I've used far too many tissues. The box of tissues I opened on Thursday night is only 1/5 full now.

Wow, I have so much "optional" homework this weekend. Chem homework, chem bonus, Euro DBQ, gay diction presentation thing... that's like eight hours. Hmm... I'm tempted to not do any of it.

By the way, to Dragos, Gay, and Dumb: SEG is due May 14. But the limit for historical sites is 2 visits @ 10 points apiece. Lame.

Yesterday when we were practicing some more science bowl, McLeod was standing behind Ronjon (our reader) and being McLeod. So McLeod was being McLeod, and Ronjon was like "GO AWAY!!!" Then after that, this happens:

McLeod notes that there are no girls on the team.
After McLeod was acting like McLeod some more, I said "McLeod, this is why there are no girls on the science bowl team."
After a two-second pause, Ronjon says something like "SHUT UP, you stupid Chinese @#%&! [expletives deleted]!!"
Everyone looks at him for a few seconds and starts laughing.
Ronjon explains that he figured I was making some kind of Indian joke.
Everyone looks at him and laughs more.

McLeod also made me change the "pole" on the home page and also suggested a question and four possible answers. I took the first three, threw out the last choice ("a hott and sexy goddess"), and then stuck in a few choices of my own. She's going to kill me so fast. Hey, maybe if you let me unzip that thing I'll make a good one for you =) haha

Oh, and I came up with the best answer choice... before I wrote:
dumb ugly cheerleader who made me change this "pole"
I had written:
Dumb cheerleader who is on my "pole"

This is certainly interesting diction. If you don't get it, she forgot how to spell poll, and of course pole is a readily available substitute.

Based on the past week, it seems to me that what comes out of my mouth is filled with a disproportionate amount of stupidity. My comments just keep getting stupider and stupider. I love how on my calculus test, I put 1/x ≤ 1/(x ln x) for x ≥ e. Not only did I get this completely backwards, but after looking at it again, I didn't even notice it was wrong. Until of course, large amounts of complete moronity flowed out of my mouth and into Ms. McWilliams's ears. She pointed out my moronity exceedingly quickly.

I hadn't even noticed the music on KT's Xanga because it doesn't work for me. Actually, most music on Xangas don't work for me, and I don't even care to find out why. I just know it's a good thing. I think it's because a lot of people use proprietary IE tags that real browsers don't support. For some reason, Davita's music works, though. I just loooove Korean songs. And soap opera things.

10:48PM

I woke up an hour ago. That was awesome. Plus the fact that I can partially breathe through one nostril now, that's even better.

About an hour and a half ago, I had another dream of killing Davita. My subconscious mind is so useless. Nothing useful ever comes out of it.

Saturday is going to own. Get ready to watch Parkview bend over =)

I was deeply saddened by the fact that I would be unable to get together with my group and find examples of diction today. I've been waiting all my life for this, and nope, here comes snow.

When I was awake for an hour in the morning, I told my sister I'd take her outside to play in the snow. But then I fell asleep. Oops.

6:06PM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's about freaking time.

So anyways, back to what I was going to write:

Well, this is real good. My mouse PS/2 port is fried. It won't work at all.

On a more positive note, My hard drive indicator light (the one that flashes when you do stuff) works now. Since I've gotten this motherboard in May, the light has never worked except when I was reading from a CD. Now the light actually works for hard drives. Amazing. However, this doesn't make up for a fried PS/2 port.

Why do people put music on their Xangas? It just makes me not want to ever go there again because I hate listening to stuff on webpages. All music on webpages suck. Even if it's good music. For instance, if I started hearing Evanescence on some person's Xanga, or even if it started playing automatically on the band's site, I would get really annoyed and leave.

I've blown my nose so many times that when I rub my nose now, I can't feel my finger. It might as well be a rubber duckie (which eats rubber snails and gets eaten by rubber CiCis) instead of my finger.

I can't believe I just wrote that.

On the up side, this morning while I was walking to school just before zero period, I had five minutes of breathing time. It felt SO good. Then in the afternoon, I had five more minutes. Like the old saying goes, you don't notice what you have until it's gone:

Ability to breathe
Non-smoking computer
Ability to make a right turn at 10mph without skidding into the far right lane of the wrong side of a four-lane road, into the right lane of the correct side of the road, back onto the wrong side of the road, and then back again. I hate rain.

Why does the Devil have to ruin my day every day? Even if it happened in the afternoon, it would be better than the morning.

I got a new power supply. At least it works. It supplies +4.95V on the +5V lead instead of +4.75V like the old one. This raises the current flowing through my 15 amp surge protector to about 21 amps. Great... another fire hazard.

The science bowl tournament is coming up. During practice these two days, which have been days that I have slept at least five hours a night, I have done the stupidest things. To my mind, a non-zero dipole movement (I think that's supposed to be "moment") means that it's not a dipole. It took Dragos about six tries to beat the correct interpretation into my head. Holy crap I'm stupid. Then I confused electrons and neutrons. Even our favorite Indian kid knows that.

I will work on my second favorite homework of all time, after close reading: explicating works of whatever period those works are from.

No wonder my computer's acting funny. The PSU fan died. If you don't know what that is, just know that it's basically the transformer and right now it's hot enough to not only cook eggs, but it can also melt them. The outside case of my computer is hot enough to burn my hand. So I have to shut down and wait until Micro Center opens tomorrow to go buy a new PSU.

10:15PM

Yesterday CiCi and I went to buy food for math club. So as we begin leaving the school parking lot, this happens:

Me: Hooooollly crap, Mary is sooooo gonna kill me.
CiCi: Why? Oh, because you said you wouldn't drive anyone?

Before I get a chance to answer, Mary calls. I thought she was going to ask me what to buy because she was going to get stuff too. So then this happens with her. She doesn't even say hi. I try to feign innocence:

Mary: David, I'm going to kill you!!
Me: Huh? For what?
Mary: I'm never letting you borrow money ever again!
Me: What? Why? Huh?
Mary: Look who's sitting next to you!!
Me, to self: Dope.

Stalker.

Because the science team is not made up of dorks like me, we practiced science bowl until 7:30.

I didn't get it when the Devil told us that the SAT looks for short, concise essays. The article she gave us said it looked for development, use of big words, etc. It also said the essays should be long and long-winded. That's not too synonymous with "clear and concise." Maybe she just has her definitions backwards, like she did with attenuate.

The assignment in Euro that counted as a test grade was supposed to be out of 10 points. She just accidentally typed a zero in. Unlike some teachers, she was nice and fixed it immediately and was really nice about it. Now, we all know who would say "LEAVE ME ALONE! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY WITH SOMEONE/SOMETHING RIGHT NOW!??!? WRITE A NOTE AND PUT IT IN THE FOLDER AND I WILL BE GLAD TO GET WITH YOU LATER!"

I have a feeling my monitor is going to explode like right now. As I typed the last two paragraphs, my typing lagged horribly and the mouse also lagged when I tried to move it around. Then the cursor ventured into the other monitor (the one that died randomly for 10 seconds), and then it turned black, turned back on, and stopped lagging. I should demand a refund on this piece of crap. Someone who supposedly is my dad's friend sold us total shit while telling us it's awesome.

Let me express my joy at being sleeping before 12 tonight. In fact, I'm glad I'm sleeping before 2.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I AM OWNING!!!

Unfortunately, this means I will just be doing more Busy Work later on this week. And chemistry.

11:15PM

So many smart things happened today. Let's see...

In the afternoon, when I wasn't illegally driving around CiCi to buy food, as she has already mentioned, I pushed the shopping cart into a door which I thought was automatic. Of course, the door next to it was labeled as automatic.

Then I was trying to turn onto Providence, and of course all traffic lights hate me, so I was backing up into the turn lane. Then I forget I'm in reverse, step on it, and fly backwards. Good thing there wasn't a cop behind me. Now that would really suck.

Today's math tournament was the worst ever. I've never done more poorly at a math tournament. 2/5 on the junior test was really dumb, especially when I'm reminded that Vincent got the same score. Now if you don't know who Vincent is, let me remind you. Usually he gets 4/25 on Cobb county exams while everyone else gets around 15/25.

I love having even more AP Busy Work to do. As Jason happily reminded me, Romantics are those who write about how much science sucks and how stupid it is. I will absolutely love this unit, just as much as I love watching gay men going at it.

My computer's being silly again. I'm defragmenting and listening to music and close reading and writing "polysyndeton" all over the place and my right monitor turns off for ten seconds randomly and then turns itself on again while the music repeats a 1/3 second blip 30 times.

I'm not sure what happened to me in chemistry today. Usually in that class, when I fall asleep, I am able to pay attention to some degree and have a general idea of what happened during class. Today I lost it, went into deep sleep, and had no idea where we ended. So far the only thing keeping me from the ultimate embarrassment is the fact that the bell has never failed to wake me up. I can't wait till the day when I sleep into another class. I can just see Mrs. Dutter: "Oh, he needs sleep. Don't wake him up. Just let him rest." It would be even better if I had the Devil's class right after Dutter, but unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on if you're sane or not), that doesn't happen.

I'm not going to do my homework right now, so I'm going to waste 15 minutes and bore people with this, which appeared on Gene's and Pat's Xangas:

Today was a day of a completely stuffed up nose. I've probably gotten rid of at least 50 cc's of snot so far today. Looks like the "decongestant" I was given causes me to have to blow my nose more frequently, and thus "decongests" me.

FrontPage's awesome HTML skills produced the following block of code about five times on a single page:

Ms. Boyd's points on my grade actually add up now. The cause of my crap grade is because a homework assignment was added as 10/100 points. This makes it worth as much as a test. I understand neither this logic nor the 10 I got on this assignment. Even a crappy job on it doesn't merit getting a 10%. Maybe she just made a simple careless error and left off a zero. I guess I do deserve points off for sleeping so much during class, though. I feel bad every time I wake up from a spontaneous nap in there, but it's just so hard to stay awake after staying up doing... AP Busy Work.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT... Microsoft is actually doing something good for once, and is offering free stuff. It's nothing much though... just patches. But if you don't want to download them, you can order a CD for free. You don't even pay shipping.

I found this on a William Hung site. The writer seems to share my anger. #@%&*$@*!

I think this guy gives Asian men a bad name, furthering inflaming the mysterious desires of all Asian women to date any white male.

So, it seems like I should start on my close reading now. Let's see if I can finish before zero period starts. Otherwise, she might tell me it's late and not accept it. At least I wouldn't be lying if I said I was sick, because I am sick.

I got back from Davita's house. So I finally got to meet Davita today. It was a non-enlightening experience.

Cookie totally made out with me today. She was sitting on me and started licking my face and lips, and I kept squirming around but she just kept on licking. My face became very full of slobber. And of course, everyone's either going to make fun of me for it or has already begun making fun of me for it.

The movie was pretty good. Some parts were a little too gay, though. The part showing under the guy's skirt, and the part when he and the fat man kissed. And then the other part where main character A stares at main character B's balls. I didn't catch the name of anyone in there, by the way. None of them at all.

Certainly the only ("This is exactly why I don't want to marry a Chinese guy") valid reason to not marry someone is the fact that he hasn't ever heard the YMCA song. It seems to me that the Chinese guy is getting the better end of the deal.

Should I follow the example of a fellow [I can't think of a word to insert here] and ask Jason to proofread my blog entry? Maybe I'll even ask him to write my entire entry every day. Please do note the sarcasm.

I feel saddened by the fact that I am compelled to note when I use sarcasm, because often I will either get a question that asks like "wow did you really lose a foot in Vietnam?" or people will just believe it and not care to ask.

Ok, thats enough. I command you to comment. NOW!

I quote CiCi. Hear me roar!! RWAR! >::0 lol

11:50PM

What's wrong with me? I'm wearing an Abercrombie sweatshirt. It's even so good as to be pre-worn and fuzzy.

I didn't mean that annoying Xangas kill only Firefox or Mozilla. They fry IE even more quickly. Only that one really annoying one kills it consistently, though. I wonder how she does it.

Maybe I should start postin rap lyrics, but i'd haveta type like chaz 2 get the full affect. rap sucks tho, even if its funnie.

Cylinder slicing is so fun. Solving these problems reminds me of how my sister does math:

"What's seven plus six?"
"Sixteen."
"No."
"Fifteen."
"No."
"Fourteen."
"No."
"Thirteen."
"No. I mean, yes."

dropzero2000: ready?
*** Auto-response sent to dropzero2000: ive fallen asleep in my chair and may take some time to wake up
icydog1: ready?
dropzero2000: i'm bored
dropzero2000: Now go ahead and argue your case. Go ahead. I'm waiting.
icydog1: i've heard that phrase
dropzero2000: it's on your website

Besides the fact that I'm a total idiot, Leo reads my site? I feel honored.

I think Gene has invented a new type of math. How do you square something to a power other than two?

I'll get back to cylindering so I can finish this. Ok. Some non words that are in the spell check dictionary, like interestingness, actually look like words. Cylindering!?!?! What the heck... does Microsoft just decide to insert random words? It's not on m-w.com or www.Dictionary.com. So yes. Microsoft makes up words, among other things.

I have gotten my hands on a math worksheet creator. It goes up to some simple algebra. I think this will save me lots of time in creating things for my sister to do in order to keep her from becoming an idiot. In other words, I'd rather insult her intelligence as much as possible now (and in the process, get her to learn things) than have her complain about it to Dutter Jr in 10 years.

I was teaching her two-digit addition, with carrying digits, and apparently she learned it in five minutes. I don't know how she did this. I don't remember myself understanding anything that quickly. Actually, I probably learned to sleep and eat meat and watermelon pretty quickly.

So far, the list of Xangas that have managed to kill my browser (Mozilla.exe/Firefox.exe has caused an illegal operation... and will be shut down) include Eva's, some Xanga freak girl's annoying Xanga (every time, including just now), and for some reason Davita's fried my browser today.

9:05PM

Today Ms. Boyd got really mad at me. I walked into class and immediately put my head down and went into REM 4 sleep. 20 minutes later during the class discussion, she decides to wake me up, so she says stuff like "are you with us, David?" and "David! David!!" over and over and I don't wake up. Then someone hits or pokes me and I wake up. I'm asleep again (unintentionally) in less than 5 minutes. Then this sequence of events repeats itself, and she tells me that if I'm going to sleep to just stay home. I don't know what to do about this, other than just not do Busy Work.

Meanwhile, Busy Work is killing my health. Other than two-day-runny-nose-colds, I've only been sick once or twice for the past few years, and even then they went away in just a few days. The lack of sleep is catching up to me. I've never had this bad a cough in my life. Perhaps I should sue the Master of Busy Work.

Grebe made the best comment in AP Busy Work today. Just after I finished a short conversation about the Devil eating babies (while she was out of the room), she walks back in. ("Speak of the Devil and she shall appear!") Then KT asks for a packet to be stapled and put into manila folder, and the response is that she has no time to do this etc etc. Then she says something about a stork dropping these to people's houses, which is highly funny in itself. Then Grebe says that storks drop babies. I collapsed on my desk immediately in a massive fit of laughter.

In response to not only CiCi, but also everyone else who complains about gossiping, it's a fact of life. Your parents gossip, the teachers gossip, and so will everyone you hang around. There really isn't much to be done about this, because you can't dictate how people run their lives. But as Dragos said, you can control what comes out of your mouth and just stop talking. I guess that's a workaround, but workarounds are usually not true solutions.

I got my new table put in. Everything is fine except my stupid keyboard. The cord is about three feet too short. The cheap solution is to not use the keyboard tray for the keyboard and put the keyboard on the table so the cord can be shorter. Waste of a keyboard pull-out tray. Better than buying a new keyboard or a wire extender.

I took pictures of a mosquito in my school canned peaches. I'll post one later.

Stacy's mom has got it going on...

I'm using FrontPage 2003 now. It's got a whole lot more features, and overall, it's much better than the 2002 version. It actually seems to be compatible with IE now, when dealing with XHTML.

I got a new computer desk. It weghts about 80 pounds, which is a vast improvement over my current desk which weighs about 12 pounds (yes, it's sad). That new desk is really long though, and it won't fit here. I don't know what to do about this. And if I were to use a super euphemism (propaganda! sorta) here, the effect of this would be "slight server downtime due to an upgrade in the server room infrastructure in order to server you better."

I'm tired and not going to do my homework. Perhaps I won't do the chem lab until 6th period tomorrow.

Oh, yeah. As I began the Hamlet test, I thought, "wow, these questions have not gayed me yet." Then after the character/setting matching, and when I was doing the quotes, I thought, "wow, I am getting massively gayed here." So far the law stands: Her tests will always gay you. At least this one didn't require massive amounts of corrections. Wait, yeah it did. We just didn't correct it, that's all.

And there was a classic "Oh! I am slain." on there, except it was Gertrude's I'm poisoned line. So it wasn't that bad, but it was funny because I knew there would be one of those.

11:43PM

To complement the picture of me from the freshman year geography bowl that CiCi posted on her Xanga, here's the corresponding picture of her from the same photo:

Looks kinda like a Martian. Anyways, here's some more. This picture here on the left must be almost as good as the bubble one. Every time I look at that bubble picture I laugh because in my mind, I can see you doing that and it looks really funny.

Hey look! I'm an idiot!! Don't look at me because I'm... on the phone?

Suck it, ho!!! Unfortunately, I don't have any more pictures of you =( But I guess I can dig through the stuff you've uploaded to me if I really have to =)

Please stand by as I begin hacking away at your Xanga.

I read parts of http://www.godandscience.org/ today. It's by far the best Christian site I've ever read, and I can feel the Christianity seeping into my veins and frying my leukocytes right now. I'll get over it, though. Try reading a page that explains something, like the one refuting atheist claims. Most of it actually makes sense, which is surprising, but then again, some of the reasoning is still highly specious.

And yet another funny spam:

Most sites have about 10 hot girls and the rest are ugly.
NOT HERE! OUR HOT NAKED GIRL ARCHIVE IS NEVER-ENDING.

Spam just never gets old.

I was really sleepy today during my classes. I was surprised I didn't fall asleep in chemistry. Near the end of the Euro period (2nd), I had a dream about Ileana (did I spell that right?). It involved me running her over at a place near what seemed like Home Depot. She was in one of those automatic wheelchair things for some reason, and it got completely run over. Then I tried to reverse, it wouldn't work, and the bell rang and woke me up.

Responding to Ed's comment, I don't really think that the comments they posted are insulting at all. They just say that they're dating. Personally, I wouldn't find that offensive.

Today's physics test was a bummer. Dragos beat me =( It wasn't as bad as dynamics though, I guess, because I beat McLeod! I wonder how Stupid Girl did. She turned it in 10 minutes before me.

My Scantron (which starts at #51) was like #51-70 all correct except for one random one, and then #71-74 were wrong. My 20 or 25 minute nap ended at around #69, so I guess napping during physics tests isn't good. Jason (and probably a few others) thought I was done with my test 10 minutes into the period. No. I accidentally fell asleep. Dutter's comment about this will be preserved on her page.

I love coughing.

10:49PM

bubble x3

Let's play the guess-who-this-silly-picture-is-of-game. Except it's not really much of a game because we all know who it is. I just want to make fun of her. lol

This picture is awesome. I need to distort it so it looks funnier.

After looking at this picture, I wonder. What popped first, the bubble or your face? They look equally ready to explode.

Silly KT. Did you think you could catch me drunk? That would involve me getting drunk first.

Don't read this if you're squeamish and say eww~ a lot. plunger On Monday night, I had the funnest time ever with my plunger. I'm pretty good at it by now, as I do this about three times a day. Usually it takes me one or two plunges to get my toilet unstuck. On Monday, it took like five flushes, ten minutes, and at least thirty plunges. I got so mad by the end that I plunged too hard a couple of times and... sprayed myself. So that was enlightening.

I went to this site one day which had some math stuff. I forgot exactly what it was, but it was something I was looking for. This site had an annoying JavaScript on it. When it ran, it would (instantly) replace the math page with a plain page saying how much of a security hazard to your computer JavaScript is. So the only way to read the page is to disable JavaScript (to find out how to do that took forever) and then reload the page.

What I don't understand is why anyone would care enough to force all of their readers to disable JavaScript. It's like saying, "You can't talk to me unless you take off your shoes. If you have your shoes on, you might get foot fungus, which is bad for you, so you have to take off your shoes to talk to me or I will just ignore you and keep telling you about foot fungus."

HI JESS!

9:01PM

I don't suffer from Male PMS. Actually, there are two distinct objects, and when either of them are close to me, my chances of contracting the illness in the next 15 minutes are raised by 500%. I think most of us know what these two objects are.

Ronjon almost got Toxic stuck in my head yesterday. But fortunately, I've only heard it maybe three times. I don't really know the tune and I don't know the words at all, so I got lucky. I absolutely refuse to download the song. It's so horrible.

It gets kinda boring here, so stop reading unless you feel like reading about the school newspaper.

Katherine, I'm not totally sure who you are (you read for Academic Bowl last week?), but I'll assume you're from the newspaper staff. In my paragraph of describing the newspaper below, I was exaggerating. My criticism was a bit rough. I mean, I don't hate the newspaper that much! I do enjoy some of the articles in it. For example, I almost enjoyed the cheating article, until words and possibly entire columns of words disappeared off the page into oblivion. I'm still wondering where they went. Anyways, there are some things that could be improved. I'll work up a list sometime. For now, I have a few suggestions. Try to do something about the really really blocky images and the funny spacing. Something not related to technical expertise is the grammar and syntax. I know I sound really stupid whenever I use the word syntax anywhere, and I hate this word, but when I can pick out problems in sentences, then you know there is a issue. In other words, I suck at English and still manage to find mistakes and very poorly constructed sentences and paragraphs. Blatant mistakes is few though, I'll grant you that. Nevertheless, some of the time, sentences' wordings and word order are somewhat quite weirdly put and cause the reader to have to be forced to repeat reading the sentence multiple times.

Every word in the last sentence was carefully chosen. If you didn't notice, then possibly I didn't achieve my goal of causing the reader to have to be forced to repeat reading the sentence multiple times. In that case, I'll work harder.

AP Euro test and AP US DBQ tomorrow, so I'm going to study for those right now.

Awwww CiCi doesn't like Britney Spears. How can you not like Britney Spears? I loooooove Britney Spears.

Soda Pop? Maybe I should download that, because I've never heard of it. Or maybe I shouldn't, because it will just add two weeks to my Crappy Music Era, iteration 36.

nik3lbak: ill just keep thinking about christian hell
nik3lbak: and how much better it is than close readng

lol

From CiCi's Xanga:
32. You have stuff in the freezer since the beginning of time. Hahahah, probably.

We used to have this one package of mystery item (I don't know if it was food) and it froze in the shape of the shelf, but like part of it was under the bar on the side of the shelf. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but the point is, you couldn't remove it because it was a solid mass around a bar. So it stayed there for at least four years, till we moved and it thawed.

And yes, it does amuse me that some lines look
l i k e t h i s
in the school newspaper and are spaced really stupidly.

Today was a day of working on mission possible. Total fun. We got done with... 40% of step 1 of 10 or so. So we're 4% done.

The best part about working on any project, of course, is when you get to use Liquid Nails. It's like glue, but it's Liquid Nails. Now let me show you the label on the front:

DANGER!
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE
Harmful or fatal if swallowed.
Vapors may cause flash fire.
(See other cautions on back panel)

So the back says this:

DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. May cause central nervous system effects, including dizziness, headaches or nausea. Causes eye, skin and respiratory tract irritation. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep out of the reach of children. NOTICE: Reports have associated repeated and prolonged occupational overexposure to solvents with permanent brain and nervous system damage. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal. This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Contains Crystalline Silica. If sanding is done, wear a dust mask to avoid breathing of sanding dust. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not smoke. Vapors may ignite explosively. Extinguish all flames, burners, stoves, heaters and pilot lights and disconnect all electrical motors and appliances before use and until all vapors are gone. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all windows and doors to achieve cross-ventilation.

Ok, so my comment on this. Do you see where it says "Do not smoke."? Why would anyone ever want to smoke something that will explode violently in his face? Flash fires? lol

Did this product come out of an effort to produce the deadliest chemical known to humans? I have a headache.

Lately, CiCi has been making me very angry. Jason is not helping at all, nor is the fact that CiCi found this funny:

Written in a Language that David can understand:
Proof: Asian People=The Devil
Devil=Beelzebub
Beelzebub="Lord of the Flies"
BECAUSE Wilcox's House=Full of Flies, THEN
Lord of the Flies=Wilcox
Wilcox=Asian Person
Multiply by three on both sides.
The Wilcox Family=Asian People
Asian People=The Devil
Your welcome.

This might have been funny, but it is so full of holes that it ceases to retain any of its intended humor.

If Wilcox's House = Full of Flies, then Full of Flies = Wilcox's House. This is obviously not true. There are many places and things full of flies that are not Wilcox's house, for example, my garbage can. There have been no reported sightings of Wilcox or his family members dwelling in there since we moved here in June.
Wilcox does not = Asian Person, because once again, the reflexive property does not hold. Either do many other properties. I am not Wilcox, for example (transitive).
There is also the fundamental flaw that Wilcox is only half Asian to begin with, and even then, that half is Korean. Korean cannot be equated with Asian, because Asian is a superset of Korean but Korean is only a proper subset of Asian.
Also, by your logic, Asian People does not equal The Devil, but instead, Three Devils. That doesn't make any sense either. Note in the first half, you have equated Wilcox and Devil. At the bottom, you equate The Wilcox Family with The Devil, where it should instead of Three Devils.
Continuing with your logic, Wilcox = The Wilcox Family.

Obviously your comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously. But this is what happens when I get angry.

My headache has gotten far worse.

Ok, Katherine =) Here I go (you seemed to be defending the newspaper-makers on Friday morning). The school newspaper is a horrible piece of crap that is so bad it shouldn't exist. It has no point whatsoever, the grammar is terrible, the crappiness of sentence structure is second only to that of Bush, and the column format doesn't line up. Words seem to disappear, though whether this is intentional is unknown. The 4x6 inch pictures have been rescaled from 40x60 pixels and it looks like crap. So in conclusion, the newspaper is extremely sucky. So be mad at me now! Well, maybe I exaggerated a bit.

"Bufing" being pronounced booofing just makes it even better.

The cardboard box is now being used as a slave machine. In other words, it does bitchwork. Like downloading useless stuff (it'd be nice if it could make waffles and iron shirts too). I put a 40GB hard drive in there, and surprise surprise, it's too old to support hard drives greater than 8.4GB. After a massive amount of hacking though, it kind of works with the drive.

Interestingly, I can't access it by drive letter. It produces a funny error:

$F:\ is not accessible. This folder was moved or removed.$

Sure... whatever. The even weirder solution is to access the drive as a folder:

$D:\SuperDrive$ <-- This SuperDrive thing you see, that's a folder linked to the broken drive. I don't know why this works, and I'm sure you care a lot.

It looks funny to have a drive icon where directory icons go.

I can't believe I'm listening to Britney Spears over and over. This is so incredibly stupid. Mary, I'm going to KILL you for singing Stronger (than yesterday...) every day in math!! I may even stop worshipping you for the pain caused to my head by this music.

I remember a long time ago when Will (not Rooke, so stop asking that!) was over, we kept listening to this dumb music too. I miss living half a mile from him.

It seems all the girls are either going out with Zumdahl or are fighting to have a date with him/it. I find this particularly funny because none of the guys have this book fetish. And we certainly don't go as far as screwing chemistry books *cough* Morgan *cough* or maybe we just don't admit it.

I actually coughed as I wrote *cough* above. I seem to have pneumonia or something. I love how I can hear/feel fluid in my lungs as I breathe. (or at least I think I can)

I dunno how to live without your love
I was born to make you happy

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

It usually takes a week or two for me to totally get a song out of my head. This is looking bad.

Awesome. I ran Ad-aware for the first time since my format in May. Only 30 spywares in 286,975 scanned objects. Not bad, considering that I've habitually visited several hundred illegal sites since then. And by illegal sites, I don't mean porn, though Mary's done this using my computer before. So this is a warning to not let her on your computer whether or not you are watching her.

The SAT II in physics is going to be fun. From the numbers, it looks like one of the easy ones. 800 = 93rd, and mean score is 650. Actually, that's a bad way of thinking. I got screwed on the 800 = 62nd and mean = 756 Chinese test.

The last school newspaper had one interesting thing. All the horoscopes were long except for Taurus, which said "You don't believe in horoscopes. Why are you reading this?" Why was I reading it? I'd ramble on about the newspaper, but KT might (will) get mad at me.

I got back from Pat's house, where I saw Ai for the first time outside of a hallway.

Where were Craig and Morgan for the first three hours of Pat's party? Jess says they were boofing. I love that word. It makes me smile. It seems rather odd that Craig isn't actually dating Morgan. (or am I just outdated?) Edit--> ok, when I wrote that, I didn't notice what I did. Then I read it again 15 minutes later and laughed. By outdated, I meant uninformed, ok?

By gay languages in the last post, I didn't mean English... although English is highly gay.

11:28PM

CiCi has a point with her comment that practically all of my friends can read Chinese. So maybe next time, I'll use one of the the most cryptic languages in existence: Babelfish from Chinese to English to Chinese again. Try reading/translating that! For now though, I'll stick to real Chinese.

Actually, of the 90% of my friends who are Chinese, probably half of them can't understand everything I wrote. In that case, the translation might actually be useful. But then again, "order them in sequence" and "press the smooth platoon" aren't really related and the latter does not convey the intended meaning of the former.

suck it, ho

Suck it. Now, stop posting in gay languages!

因为现在大家的网页都变 lame，我就写一点中文吧。可是我没有设么可写的。

没有脑袋的大傻瓜 (Wilcox) 把它的英文语言功课放到我的服务器上。问题是，他不能删除。我就留在那里吧，等到特大蠢肥猪大师（英文老师）找到吧。

今天的化学考试考讨厌哦。第十四题最讨厌。那道题要求你把一，二，三选择按着顺序排。讨厌！

李根(?)今天提出来一个有意思的情况。黑人在中国是一个见不到的事件。我以前没有想到这一点。有意思。

相信吗？我在听 Britney Spears 的老歌。好久没听了！这些歌 remind me of 几年以前，万斤重功课时期以前。那时候多快乐啊。

我要睡了。

晚上十一点零二分

I'm sleepy.

I'm taking the day off today. From all sorts of brain-engaging activities.

I refuse to do chemistry today. This will result in a loss of many points from my homework average. It isn't worth me getting angry like I do every time I look at chemistry homework.

Maybe I can go to sleep at a reasonable hour today.

Alright, let me tell some stories now. door + Moron = disaster

Yesterday, I was walking out of Mr. Overstreet's room (the door that goes into the hallway) to get to physics. There was this guy behind me. So of course, it's expected that because I'm in front of him, I open the door, go through, and he follows, right? Well, ok. So I opened the door and began walking through it. Now, this Moron just decides to walk directly into the door, as shown in the diagram. What a moron.

Oops. I just killed some more brain cells by scrolling down and looking at that picture.

Tricia thinks Yük is nice and not gay. No matter how hard I try, I can't convince her that he's the most mean-hearted and gay person I know (well, there may be a few people who act gayer, like Cory Winsaft). So let me give you a hint. On the next vote, you have to vote that he is gay and mean. Anyone who calls people fuckass must be gay. Generally, you might call one a fucker, but this doesn't imply gayness. Fuckass implies a great deal of gayness.

No, I'm not really against gay people. I'm for gay marriage, not strongly though. It kind of bothers me a bit that there are gay people, but it doesn't really matter to me what they do with their lives, and I'm ok as long as I'm not affected. It's not like I want to ban the existence of gay people. Actually, if by "gay people" I mean "Yük", then yeah, I would like to ban his existence.

I use the words slut, whore, slore, prostitute, skank, ho, and (name removed) interchangeably. I use hobag to denote a more severe degree of this condition. But ok, I guess a slut does it just for the fun of it.

Sorry, Tricia. You and Charles look too similar and sometimes when I'm tired or sleepy and don't want to think, I just lump both of you into Trarles, and so to my tired mind, you two are basically the same person.

Today during AP Euro, I expected a 2 or 3 out of 20 on my essay component of the test. On all the previous essays like this (3 or 4 of them), I've gotten 15/20. Every time. So this time, I figure I can't do better than that because every other time I knew what I was writing about and thought I did well. This time, the question was about some relationship between Romanticism and nationalism. Well, I knew what nationalism was, but Romanticism? Then I try to link nationalism to some unknown Romanticism. So in effect, I made up 2/3 of an essay (the other 1/3 I wrote about nationalism only). On the worst essay I've written in this class the whole year (actually, the worst I've ever written in my life), I got a 19/20? Allon got so mad at me.

I love KT's comment. Best one yet, especially the clock thing. Ronjon's comment must be the worst comment yet.

I need to write more stuff in here so that whenever I open this window for editing I won't have to look at this clown picture.

So I'll write some more short paragraphs about sluts.

I know a lot of people don't agree with what I think about them. I know Allon thinks I'm "taking it too far." He asks if I would refuse if I were that guy in the bathroom with Britney Spears in her video Toxic (the one who gets screwed by her). In this case, it's a battle between intelligent thought/willpower and animal instinct. Although I do carry out intelligent thought occasionally, during those Golden Seconds every day when I'm actually awake, and my will can be strong, animal instincts have to be the strongest forces a person can have. So who knows what I'd do? (hey, at least I'm being honest)

I know what I wouldn't do. Whatever fate decides to do, I wouldn't give the slut any money. I can find better things to spend my money on, for instance Coke.

If you don't know what this is about, apparently in the video Toxic Britney is a common slut (sounds like "common cold") and drags this guy into a little bathroom on an airplane. She screws him and takes a few dollars (hence, slut).

It really doesn't matter though, as I'm not going to be in a tight bathroom with a slut to begin with. No matter how hard you try to create the scenario, it won't work. So I'll immediately stop analyzing this insanity.

I have accomplished my goal of scrolling Clown off this page, and so I will stop writing about Prostituere communis now.

I fell asleep at like 7:30 and didn't manage to wake up until now. I had a dream that I did something really stupid (this implies stupider than usual) on one of Miss Snoddy's tests, and I got really mad at myself for it, and she said... crap. I remembered it when I started this sentence, and now I forgot. Well, it had something to do with making fun of my atheism.

I had no idea that the Lit Gay Readings are due tomorrow. Tonight is going to be fun.

11:29PM

lol I was kidding about you being a lesbian, Ashley. Nice to meet you too by the way, though we haven't met. Yeah, of course I know Courtney. And by Courtney, I mean the carrot devil (note the small d, as opposed to Devil). I figured she was the sister you were talking about when you threatened to have me destroyed by her vicious rhetoric. And by rhetoric, I mean carrots.

This is so disgusting it makes me want to suffocate on my vomit Actually, that kind of sounds like something Ms. Bryan would do to me.

I have one of her (Christina Aguilera) old CD's (fake, duh) from a few years ago. The pictures in there were decent. Well, maybe a little skanky, but certainly bearable. I wish she'd still be like that. Back then, she covered herself in clothes instead of [mass amounts of] makeup.

Now, to make up for the clothes she removes, she cakes herself in layer after layer of makeup (well, I'm not an expert on makeup, but it looks that way to me). It is disgusting and makes me want to puke and inhale repeatedly into my lungs. Pictures like this... I just don't get how people find this attractive (I think I'm going to take a hit for that comment). If your girlfriend was 1/3 girl, 1/3 cosmetics, and 1/3 absorbed UV rays... I won't even finish my sentence because I might throw up.

What's with her eyes in this picture? The Asian look in style now? Or was so just up so late last night doing AP Language homework that she can't open her eyes fully?

To go along with the Asian look thing, I'm still confused as to why she sometimes appears with black hair. What is her real hair color, anyway (same with Britney)? They seem to grow segmented multicolored hair at unimaginably enormous rates because the color changes about every two days.

shudder

Sorry, I was being a little harsh. Maybe I'll make one of my long-term goals be to stop complaining about everything.

So with that thought out of the way, here's my pretty answer for one of the math problems. Simple, yet elegant. Actually, it's neither. I love when math makes sense.

1:25AM

Comment on Monday's comments: I should have watched the Grammies then. Even if for no other reason than to see a hot Amy Lee. That would be interesting. Ashley, why would you ever want to be a lesbian with a hobag? That's quite nasty. I wish you the best, and hope that you do not turn into a hobag yourself. Then not only would I not know you, I wouldn't ever want to know you. I did like Christina a while ago though, and I still do like a few (by few I mean like two) of her songs. Last thing. I don't really need anyone to tell me that infinity does not equal zero. Or that zero times infinity does not equal infinity. The infinity proof is obviously not meant to be taken seriously. Come on, anyone knows that 0 doesn't equal 1, no matter how hard you try to prove it.

hahah I love Dingting's nerd joke: How can you make a red light turn green?
Drive faster!

My tires blow. I skidded while braking from 15 or 20 mph. Err, I meant they blow like they suck, not like they popped.

Do you know many of those alert boxes popped up when this happened?? They filled up the right half of my screen.

I tried to unbold something and FrontPage was smart enough to do this: . strong means bold, and font-weight: 400 means unbold. So basically, that means <bold style="unbold">. This is what makes FrontPage suck.

Last night I got two hours of sleep. And then today, of course, was the AMC. I couldn't keep my eyes open while driving to school, but luckily there were no long red lights for me to fall asleep at. So during the AMC, I was having fun trying to stay awake. Actually, you know, the math was so exciting that it kept me more alert than if I had drank Coke. Ok... that's only partly true. Anyways, after the test I got up and walked away and something like this happened:

Me: "That guy was copying off me the whole time!! AHHHHH!!!" (I wonder if he reads this site)
Someone: "Who?"
Me: "That stupid @#$(&@# moron sitting next to me!!"
Tricia (Charles?): "Dragos?"

Yes. I refer to Dragos as that stupid @#$(&@# moron all the time. Especially when he copies off me on hard math tests.

So Gene and I have decided that in thirty years, you will visit me to find that I have become:
(1) a devout Christian, or maybe Mormon
(2) a missionary (I thought about being a priest, but then I'd have to change 3-7 to read "8 year old boy," and that's far too wrong)
(3) married to white, (4) blonde, (5) cheerleader, (6) slut, (7) Korean woman/women
(8) a poet
(9) a Pepsi/Dr. Pepper fanatic
(10) a man-slut
(11) and not an asshole.

Note: Items 3-7 could be describing anywhere from one to five women, depending on how Mormon I am.

What else could go wrong in my life? Come on, I'm just kidding about most* of these, especially about the white/Korean part. Just some jokes. The explanation of why I included "white" in here is "beyond the scope of this text," and it's really nothing offensive. So don't get too mad at me for including that.

*the word "most" does not include #8 and #9.

What the heck? How did I manage to let a Power = Work * time slip by on the theorems? Insane. Now I have to redo that section... Thanks for pointing that out =)

Yesterday was the first full day I've gone without getting a random call on my cell. Random people = annoying.

Something you don't (note that I have added emphasis with bold instead of italics to denote the importance of not reading it) need to read, compliments of Chang: http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/waiwai/0201/020106moms.html

Hmm, Word tells me that I spent 859 words on Ed two days ago. The DBQ I got a 9 on last semester was 842 words long.

I'll leave you with the quote of the day. I'll leave it up to you to decide who it's from.

You know what my favorite type of person is? The kind of person who says stuff like, "God I hate [insert name of favorite teacher]! I failed that test miserably! [insert name of favorite teacher] can not teach! [insert name of favorite teacher] is gay!"

Let me also quote these, from the same unnamed person:

I hate you Ms. Portis.

Or this?

Your teaching style is devoid of professionalism and your lack of command of the subject is offensive.

Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. Actually, a lot hypocritical.

Now to Ed: When I first met you, I had a lot of respect for you and I did not know what everyone else was talking about when they all complained about your arrogance and how much of a jerk you were. Throughout freshman year and sophomore year, I just kind of played it off and said "yeah yeah he's arrogant" just to keep my friends happy, but I never meant it. I'm still not going to call you arrogant, because I really don't care. It would be hypocritical of me, anyways. But you really are a jerk, and maybe you should work on your "oh, I don't have any use for David any more, so there's really no need to try to nice/be friends with him." Although this may be how business works, this isn't how to make people admire you. So you should really stop it. Blatant lies really need to stop too, as they don't help any relationship, be it with a relative, a girlfriend, a teacher, a boss, or just a friend. You should show some respect for others though, because however intelligent you may be, you aren't always right, so don't act that way. You shouldn't impose yourself on others and force them to do or think as you do, because not everyone will appreciate it. Now, I've tried to be nice in this paragraph, and I've used care the past few days to make no false accusations. Right?

Ok. That's the last of it. I will not write anything more about Ed on here anymore as long as he doesn't ask me to.

12:57AM

Well, I guess I have to scratch that thing about people are too afraid to comment. I guess some people just waited a while to comment. And some didn't put (recognizable) names... hmm.... how.... coincidental? Not really.

10:24PM

So I hear that some people are too afraid of Ed to comment [on this site] on yesterday's post. Oh well. Also, I noticed that I used inconsistent pronouns (both 2nd and 3rd person) in the diatribe.

Drew hasn't IMd me in a few days. Then this happens, and then he doesn't get online for another hour. I guess it's expected from him... lol

[19:21:54] DrewL434: hey
[19:21:54] *** "DrewL434" signed off at Mon Feb 09 19:21:54 2004.

I heard more than one person say Amy Lee had some pretty dress on, so I was searching for it. Though I didn't manage to find it, I did find lots of other useless stuff. Here's the highlights.

This is totally uncool:

Who thats alive and walking Gods green Earth isnt giddy to the core over the thought of watching Evanescence well, the remaining members not the guy who actually wrote or co-wrote much of the material but then left the band because even he couldnt stomach their music take to the podium and accept their much-deserved award for fooling people into thinking that Christian goth pop rock is actually cool?

But this is also... unnecessary. This person must have really bad taste:

Yeah, but I think "My Immortal," is her most beautiful video, and "Going Under," is her sexiest, cause she has this angry/disturbed/I need a huge look, that accents her gothic beauty, which I love. Though, I think in every video she is pretty damn sexy. She is just so gorgeous and hot!!!!!

Maybe the name of the person who posted this comment says something about him/her - "UglyGirl04." I don't know, maybe it's possible that I'm just not open-minded enough to see the beauty in Amy Lee, but she sure has me fooled.

But of all the female artists I can think of, she may be the one I respect the most. She doesn't see the necessity of stripping down to nothing every time she inhales, and she doesn't hump a pole, chair or the air every time she exhales. The way I see it, in a world of ever-increasing sluttiness, this is good. Back a few years ago, when everyone thought Britney and Christina were total sluts, not many knew how much worse it could get. We also didn't expect that the word hobag would be defined today in terms of "Britney" and "Christina." Society sometimes (or often) disgusts me to a degree that I don't really want to think about.

What also disturbs me is that Michelle Branch has appeared practically naked on Maxim. Pat dragged me over to the magazines section of a bookstore just to show me and hear me say that I'm disappointed (which I did say). I used to have some degree of respect for her. I guess you can't sing unless you're a slut? Well, ok, that makes sense. About as much sense as showing a video of your wife giving birth to a world history class...

So anyway, those are just my views. I know people disagree with me, but at least it's not as bad as the ever-present debate about giving rich money to the poor, or abortion, or... religion.

I probably shouldn't have just wasted 20 minutes writing that, but it kept my brain awake whereas the calculus homework put me to sleep (multiple times). I didn't feel like thinking, and when my brain doesn't want to think, it goes on strike and just turns off. This is what often happens during some of my classes. I still wish I could have had Ms. Smyser so I could fall asleep in her class... must be a fun experience. About as fun as falling into a Puddle of Lardd and then being turned into a sausage or soap.

Sunday, February 8, 2004 (6 comments)

I have always refrained from saying offensive things about Ed K on this site, but this is too much. I would like to comment on this post. This paragraph is about Science Club, of course:

I had 3 years of previous experience. I had 2 years of leadership experience and training. I genuinely loved the club. I missed 2-3 meetings because of an invitation to come to a Walton Governance Council meeting. The rest of the officers proceed to give me a letter(which has no validity), expelling me from my position.

I don't know why it matters that you had 3 years of previous experience. If you are unwilling or "unable" to apply your "experience," then it makes no difference whether you have 3 years or 30.

You missed more than 2-3 meetings and you were late (by late, I mean >30 minutes) for almost all of them, especially toward the end of the semester. Why weren't we told about your Walton Governance Council meetings when they occurred? You don't tell anyone until now? (Well, maybe I just didn't hear.) And if you love the club so much, why would you steal money from it?

The "rest of the officers," except maybe Dragos because he's nice, wanted to kick you by mid-or-late-September. What did you actually do for the club? You lied to me multiple times. For example, you said a week before WISC that you had speeches written out. Then on Saturday morning, alas, you do not have anything written out and were asking me what to talk to the teams about. The only other contribution to the club that you made was buying trophies and whisks (for which, if I heard Dutter correctly, you reimbursed yourself twice). Oh, and you "wrote" physics questions for WISC. Then I told you to actually write questions and you played stupid, as if I don't have access to past science bowl questions.

A leader with or without experience doesn't do these kind of things.

You also seemed to have forgotten that your title was supposed to be "Co-President," and instead, you just bossed everyone around. Am I right? Some of the officers were a little upset about this. Usually if you made a suggestion and I made an opposing suggestion, you simply refused to listen. It does sound harsh, but that's how it was. You seemed to have forgotten how you had acquired the position of "Co-President." I asked you last school year if you wanted to share the position with me, and you agreed. You know very well that I could have run for president either by myself or with someone else and beaten you by a landslide.

It's unfortunate that at the time I thought you would be a good leader. Your false initial impression had fooled me for a time. But don't you find it strange that as one gets to know you better, one generally likes you less? This is true for most people I talk to, anyways.

To non-orchestra people and to Ronjon, Paul, Ashley, Saumya, Leslie, agh there's too many: Thank you for letting me get to know you. You all gave my life a spice, a spark that carried me through the dark days of sacrifice. Only you could keep me awake in class.

Now in other parts of your post, you talk about people talking behind your back. But this paragraph above is just really bad. I've heard things you've said about Ronjon, both from the mouths of other people (whom I trust) and from your own mouth. I find it amusing how you say such complimentary things about people publicly, but privately it's pretty much the opposite.

Remember when you randomly inserted this into one of our AIM convos for no apparent reason?
Metldude2001: and i am no longer friends with RJ by the way

I did a bad job a few days ago of commenting about your Portis post. But that was more than made up for by your terrible excuse:

Metldude2001: i mean, any person who isnt an absolute drooling moron can tell when im being sarcastic or serious
icydog1: you were'nt sarcastic about prtis
[prtis = Mrs. Portis, AP Stat teacher whom he wrote some pretty insulting stuff about]
Metldude2001: sure i was
Metldude2001: its like a modest proposal
[read below, it's the baby-eating essay I was talking about]
Metldude2001: have you read it yet?
Metldude2001: i was trying to be as grotesque and immluminating as possible
icydog1: hmmm
Metldude2001: illuminating
icydog1: i don't think anyone saw it that way
Metldude2001: hehe
Metldude2001: maybe i shouldve made my allusions clearer
icydog1: while you're at it, your "life is good" sounds like pangloss
[Pangloss, the nutty professor who thinks everything is good, from Candide]
icydog1: is this an allusion too?
Metldude2001: hehe yeah
Metldude2001: very good

Yeah, I'm sure that everything Ed writes on his Xanga is an allusion to some great literary work. Maybe Jason can find what he's "alluding" to in each one of his Xanga paragraphs and inform him of why it's an inappropriately used allusion.

Ok. That was enough for today.

6:09PM

One of Jonathan Swift's most famous works is A Modest Proposal. It's one of the few pieces of literature not assigned by an English class that I've read. You guessed it, it was an AP Euro assignment. "But I digress." The subject of this work is that children are a burden and thus people should use babies as a food supply. Of course, it is a satire. But anyways, would anyone like to propose a theory of why we were not assigned this work, and instead assigned whatever we were assigned? Yes, you know what I'm driving at.

Well (to Dragos), it's not only the fact that I lost ten points that bothers me (but of course that makes me mad too), but it's also her insistence that she has been forced to do this by the school's/English department's rules. I told her that she and the department head were telling me different stories, but she still doesn't believe me. This makes me so mad that I want to kick her in the face. Well, I wouldn't want to do that. She could take me any day, with an arm tied behind her back. I take that back. You can't tie an arm behind her back. It's physically impossible.

Jason seems to have taken offense to my comment that all poems suck. It wasn't supposed to be a challenge. But I guess if you really want to write a bunch of poems, do entertain yourself, but I still hate poems. All that I ever do with poems relate to English assignments, and I dislike English assignments in general.

I'm not understanding A Description of a City Shower (italicize? double quotes? I forgot) at all, even though we went over it in class... this is another reason why I hate poems. Because I invariably suck at them!

1:13AM

Saturday, February 7, 2004 (2 comments)

Let me tell you what I think,
of Gene's poem. It isn't even,
a poem, more like a medium-
sized paragraph with manual,
line breaks in the middle of,
sentences and commas at the,
end of each line. Or occasionally,
a period. But then again, all,
poems suck, and his poem was,
no worse than any other poem,
I've ever read. Until next time,
don't write any more poems.

8:42PM

I went to get my watches fixed today. Traffic was terrible for no apparent reason. It was snowing pretty hard there, too. But it only lasted a little while =( At first I thought I was being bombarded with dust as I saw particles hit the windshield, until they started sticking and melting. Hopefully it snows some more.

I forgot to actually post yesterday's post. I pushed Publish, but I had this page marked explicitly to not be published. Oops.

Friday, February 6, 2004 (1 comment)

So in yesterday's post about prom, which most people probably scrolled past, I explained that I was making fun of Gene (it's in the middle of the stream annoyingness). I blame the idea all on Charles. Well, it's kinda Gene-ish, right?

Today I made at least 4 instances of Chinglish in my chemistry lab. Then as I was writing my daily email to Ms. Pepple, I realized I tried to make class plural by adding an s. I'm kidding about my daily email to Ms. Pepple. Come on. It was supposed to be a joke... ha... ha...? But yeah, I was writing an email to her today, asking about the lab and thanking her because I did well on the chemistry SAT II.

Today not only do I get a random call sometime during school, but this time the moron decides to leave a message. People get stupider every day. Not a day has gone by without a random call since the day I turned on my phone. I've gotten at least 3 or 4 out-of-state calls in not even 3 weeks. Maybe it isn't good to have a number that consists of 2 distinct digits. (I know, I can't count)

I'm probably going to type something really stupid and sound like Yük, so before that happens, I'm going to go sleep and not make a fool of myself.

So, did anyone get below a 70 on the language paper? Because that's what I got. She claims it's "English department policy" to take off ten points for a late "long-term assignment." The paper is late and that's uncontestable. But in the words of the English department head, "she may take off less if it's only a little late." Or something pretty close to that. She didn't say anything at all about any ten points, and I'd bet my life that it's not in the agenda. Ms. Bryan has told me at least three times that it is in the agenda. I read it twice and couldn't find any trace. Ten points? That's basically dropping me from a 6 to a 2. That really is unnecessary for being late 3 or 4 periods. Why didn't I forge an email timestamp?

11:01PM

I've been up since 3AM and got more sleep than I do on most nights. Rumor (aka my grandpa) has it that I fell asleep at 9PM.

It's zero period time.

I went to Kumon today and asked about a job. The lady there gave me a math test and tol.d me to do it quickly. Long division with remainders? Who does that? The last time I did that was in 7th grade, and even then I had to have Charles teach it to me. It was quite pathetic. So instead of long division, I did them mostly in my head. Stuff like 734/59. And then the fraction stuff... 1 3/4 - 3 3/7. Who uses mixed numbers?!?!!? I guess I passed though, because she told me to come back Thursday.

However, in addition to denying me permission to go to prom (not like I was planning to go anyways), my mom has refused to allow me to work. It is very important for me to get a job though, because I have to pay back this large sum of money somehow. I don't know what I'm going to do now. I may even be banned from getting a job during the summer (I don't think she'll do that though), but she did say I could work after I send in college apps next year.

My pants have this giant hole at the crotch. Something has to be done about this.

I looked at the cell bill for January and promptly had the living daylights scared out of me. Up from $30 last month to $242. I panicked for some time while I looked for the invoice details. Then finally I found that most of that was for the phone and activation. I thought that 4 text messages and an email had caused the bill to skyrocket or something.

Ok well, I'm going to have fun with AP Language homework tonight.

angryyyyyy I found what appears to be an angry picture of Ms. Dutter. McLeod says that she was probably looking at Gene. I hope she doesn't mind that I haven't given her a photo or whatever release form.

The physics test was somewhat fun. I either scored a 110 or a 50. It's the same feeling I had after the dynamics test, except I'm a little more unsure of this one.

I fell asleep today on my bed at 4. I woke up at 7:30 and looked at my clock and I thought HOLY SHIT NOOOOOOOOOOOO MS BRYAN IS GOING TO EAT ME!!!!!!!!!!! Then I realized that I hadn't eaten dinner and should go do that.

A dumb skank stole my blue fleece yesterday. I stood behind her as she took it out of the locker and put it on. Then she realized I was staring at her this whole time, and she looks up and smiles clownishly and says "can I borrow this?" What was I supposed to say? So I say of course, just give it back at the end of the day. Of course that didn't happen. She did finally put it back today, but it smells like slut! I have to explain to my mom now that a stupid slut (how do you say that in Chinese?) stole it and it needs to be disinfected. By the way, the stupid slut I'm talking about is my stupid locker partner, who is a slut.

http://woodythefish.tripod.com/davidbio.htm. What the hell. The first paragraph of http://www.worthynews.com/news-features/compass-china-arrested.html is interesting as well.

10:14PM

Well, thanks Dragos, for saying I'm a good driver. I wish it would make up for my one incredible act of foolishness though =(

I'm numbering my Hamlet assignment pages in Chinese. So far I'm on 十鬼. (The 鬼 appended for no reason)

McLeod told me a few days ago that she got into UNC. Stupid Physics Girl got into UNC also. I feel bad for McLeod and the rest of UNC. And especially the physics (and all other) professors who will have that girl...

I talked to Ms. Bryan about my essay today during WEB. She earns 5 points for not yelling at me, threatening to eat my babies, or eating my head. It was actually a decent talk about the essay.

Since I have nothing left to write about, I'm finishing with a Ronjon-style Xanga paragraph because I'm kind of bored:

Oh my freaking god, today I drove into an idiot cop. He was being an idiot like "OMFG LOOK AT ME I'M A FAT FLAMING IDIOT" and he was just sitting at this stop sign. And when he wouldn't move, I honked at him 5x. He looked really Drewangry but kept on eating his stupid jelly donut. I honked a few more times, he flicked me off and said "want a piece of this boy!?!?!?" so I took a piece of it from the side. Police cars should really be made better because this one got its entire side smashed in, and only the humongous fat inside kept the car from being squished to zero width. Of course my super-sturdy high-durability car took no damage. I sped off and yelled "HIYO!! SUCKAAAAAAAA!!"

This will be the last Ronjon-style Xanga paragraph in a long, long time.

My mom and grandpa told me to get rid of all the strawberries in the house. That isn't going to be a problem at all.

My stupid morons story of the day goes like this. I'm barreling into the right turn lane from Roswell to Timber Ridge at 50mph. There's this SUV in the right lane on Roswell, just to the left of the turn lane. As I approach the area to the right of this SUV at a reduced speed of like 40mph, both the driver and passenger doors fling open and two idiots pop out. The STUPID lady who was in the passenger seat sprang out like she had a sideways ejector seat, and she flung herself into the middle of the lane I was charging through. She was wearing red too, like a bull's eye... she was practically saying "HIT ME!!" This caused me to turn sharply to the right and slam on the brakes so hard that my 50lb bookbag in the rear seat flew forward and smacked the back of my seat with a force of... a lot of newtons. It also produced a brake squeak which I've never heard before.

Why would you ever open your 6 foot door into traffic? And then jump out into the traffic? If you're wondering what these idiots were thinking, apparently the driver and passenger wanted to swap places.

I promised Mary that I will not drive people around any more, and so I'm not going to drive people around any more. Since I now worship her, I'm going to try to stick to this until my 6 months is up.

I love math problems that don't make sense. I also love chemistry problems that don't make sense. Except, usually chemistry is more "don't make sense" than "I'm too stupid to figure it out," while math makes sense but only proves how dumb I can be.

How dumb I can really be was proven this Saturday. That was ridiculously stupid of me.

After I found out that I died today, I found out how nice some of my friends are and how they good they are to me when I'm in need (that means NOW). I really appreciate this, and it shows some people actually care. Thank you so much. I bow down to you all and one of you, I'll worship forever. And don't tell your parents. I don't want to die again.

I will owe you guys forever.

Erica seems to be the one everyone compares to. "What did Erica get?" Or like "I bet you worked really hard on that." - "Not as hard as Erica!" She's kind of like a standard solution. That was a terrible analogy. I do wish I could sit down and do work like her, though. Instead of wasting my time everywhere. Her mom makes excellent cookies, too =P

Ms. Bryan seriously wants to kill us. I mean, 50 pages of close reading? This is insane enough by itself, but when stacked on top of tens of poems and works to read, same number of sheets to fill out, Hamlet, and probably three dozen other things I'm forgetting about, oh and vocab, what does she think we are? There's only one uberhuman in this school, and I bet he isn't enjoying this a bit either.

Finally, I found out where this seemingly arbitrary 0.0592 comes from in the electrochemistry equations: ln(10) R T / F = 0.0592 at 298 K, where R = gas constant (AHHH WHY DOES IT KEEP SHOWING UP!?!), T is in Kelvins, and F is the Faraday constant of 96485 C.

This is ownage, and I can't believe I didn't know this before. I thought substitution was the only way to do this. The TI-89's solve() can do simultaneous (systems of) equations:
solve(x=2y and 2x+1=3y,{x,y}) x=-2 and y=-1

Enough fluid poured out of my Monster Blister^TM to fill up an Iraqi crater.

I found a use for the Dremel yesterday when I used it to get rid of all sorts of marks on the outside of my car. Stupid streaks that are there for no apparent reason went away instantly. I wasn't careful though, and some of the diluted lye or whatever it was (the cream cheese compound) sprayed all over my face and one landed an inch from my eye. That was unpleasant.

(Thanks to Chenny for sending me this. I wet my pants multiple times while watching this.) http://www.williamhung.net/ The video here is HILARIOUS. You have to watch it. Although I kind of feel bad for this kid (who says he's in UC Berkeley, so I guess he's not that young). As soon as I went there, I heard a Chinese national anthem start playing, so I pushed buttons all over the place to get it to stop. After a while I realized it was my phone and that I had just missed a call.

My Rolex lost 4 minutes in 3 days. I really need to get my other watch strap fixed. This watch is bozo.

FrontPage is incompatible with IE. FrontPage does things by default (and you can't change this default) that IE does not work with. I can't believe how stupid Microsoft can be sometimes.
