At the end of class today, I listened to an interesting conversation from the other side of the room. Some guy whose face I didn't recognize was asserting that there are a total of seven people in the world who are smarter in the subject of math than - you guessed it - Dragos. We won't even get into how smart he is, since most of us are lowly human beings and can't imagine what goes on within an berhuman's mind anyways. But how are you supposed to rank people's math skills? It's like saying that my nightmares are scarier than yours. I'm willing to bet that this "fact" will be going around at school next year.

Well, hopefully I heard it all wrong. But the guy did repeat it at least five times because people kept asking stuff like "what?" or "who are you talking about?" or "only seven?" or "I think I just lost some brain cells," though the last one seems more like something I wanted to hear rather than something I actually heard.

I told my mom my SAT score while she was on the phone. She thought I was kidding or something, but then she realized that I wasn't and she slammed her non-phone-holding hand on the glass dining table. I shrugged it off and told her I'm going to take a shower and then go to CiCi's. Then my dad sends me an email that almost sent me to the floor. Here is the main reason I almost fell out of my chair (remember that this is MY FATHER):

You already know that we are holding very high expectation to you because you have the talent given by God.

Ewww. He's obviously been listening to more God songs than I have.

I forgot to mention that last night, Drew was almost as entertaining as the movie. Actually... no, that amazing movie was far more entertaining. We should have locked Drew and Wilcox in a glass room with the stfu motion still passed.

I think the next poll should be to choose the hottest Miss Universe contestant or "representative" or whatever they call them. People seem to like talking about this a lot. But, I have no idea what to put as the choices, because I've only heard about (I think) Australia, Japan, Norway, and Sweden. Suggestions?

This keyboard I got on Thanksgiving isn't going to last me until next Thanksgiving. Donations gladly accepted, not tax-deductible.

I kind of turned my speakers up today... and the screen saver on the computer on the other side of the room deactivated because the bass shook the mouse too hard. It wasn't not even up that high. If small insects or other small animals were under the subwoofer hole as I turned on my music, I think they would be stunned and possibly killed. Hey, that would be a nice experiment. How many decibels of "Heaven" does it take to kill a cockroach when placed directly under the subwoofer? Oh wait, that would clearly be an unmistakable indication that I'll beat my wife in the future.

Frisbee today began as a very good game. Then when everyone was kind of tired, which was after like two hours, the game degenerated (actually, maybe "improved" is a better word) into two groups throwing two lit frisbees at each other in the dark. Yes, we need to do this more. Yes, we need to take a rifle and blast the street lights because they ruin the darkness.

If you didn't come today, you missed out. Especially throwing it in the dark, which was awesome and more fun than frisbee has been for quite some time (I guess that's pretty sad, but still, it was great). And Roger jumping into the ditch, and almost required Jason to save him with those lifeguard skills. Roger smelled amazing the rest of the time. As did Gene, with the insect repellant/sweat combo.

I killed so many annoying pests today as they tried to eat me alive. Only a few managed any degree of success, and a few of those died too. I'm going to shower.

Oh, yeah, and I got proven wrong/got served today. Well, you know how I always say no one wants to hit me because their car will take more damage and/or cost more to fix than mine? Well, so there's this stupid Mexivan... you know, the white ones. Yeah. Fearless bastards. It was leading me by half its length and changed freaking lanes without putting on the blinker. I had to stomp on the brakes and swing to the side pretty hard. The guy stuck his hand out the window and I couldn't really tell if he was trying to flick me off. I wish I had a potato launcher mounted on my car.

What? James raped everyone on the gay test? That makes as much sense as Charles failing.

Firefox 0.9 is a major disappointment. It worked for a few hours and then started crashing every time I tried to open it. They better fix this two-month-overdue release that doesn't even work.

The summer school studentry had to evacuate due to a fire drill. Sorry... I just really had an urge to use the nonword studentry because the author of that style book liked it so much.

Ok so we had these heart monitors right? They're hard rubber things which are supposed to go atop your sternum, and then there is a strap that goes around you to keep the device there. Then you get a wrist device that will receive RF (presumably) signals from the sensor and tell you your heart rate. Well, first off, my heart rate while sitting was supposedly 50-55, and this just doesn't make sense. Then I get up and start walking... 217 beats per minute. Everyone was outside for forty minutes and we were told to keep our heart rates between 140 and 180 for thirty minutes. I reached sixteen minutes... walking for me is 130 and running is 200. How perfect for me, since that totally falls outside the range...

I don't really have that much to complain about, though. At least my period of death/zero pulse was rather short, as compared to some others' who were dead for half the time. Well, as Ronjon said, "be glad that you're not wearing boobs with that" or something like that. Yes, glad I am.

So I was at the library, and I parked about six inches from the left side of the parking spot because the car on the right was rather close. Then this stupid idiot pulls in on my left... and is on my side of the line. I had soo much fun trying to get into my car and out of the space, especially because the other car wasn't even parked straight. The rear of that car was more inside my space than the front, giving me less than an inch of clearance for my rear-view mirror. You would imagine that adults have been driving for many years and should know how to park in a regular perpendicular parking spot by now, but noooo, some just never learn.

Ok and then I almost ran into a stupid fat cop because he was in the left turn lane except half his fat right side was hanging out into my lane because he's so fat so when I passed him while trying to avoid the car just to my right... yeah I love almost running into cops.

For the first time in like six months, I played UT2003 for half an hour yesterday. I turned my speakers up for full effect (and also to drown out my fans). Well, so everything is quiet and I'm walking around, and then some guy sneaks up behind me and flaks me from behind. I jumped up and almost out of my seat because the sudden noise scared me so much. These speakers are amazing. I wish I could put these in my car to replace the ones that rattle. But unfortunately, I don't think that my engine could power these speakers. They're like 400 watts, and the air that comes out of my subwoofers would provide more thrust (jet propulsion!) than my engine normally could to the wheels...

CiCi's party was a blast. The movie was possibly the best movie that we've watched as a group. There may have been better ones, but no one ever really watched. This one was just plain amazing. I loved the incredibly good acting and fight scenes the most.

Oh yeah. I hope no one but Charles believed that I got my knee sewed up. I didn't mean it... I was hoping people would notice because I mentioned Charles's leg being sewed back on (after the car incident) in the next sentence.
