Last night was a really fun game of frisbee, and it lasted for pretty long too. As soon as I got there, I sprinted my butt off for this one throw but I stepped into a big pool of mud. I said "FUCK!!" really loudly, but of all the ways I could have said it, I decided to squeak it. That wasn't the only thing I squeaked during the game, either.
Then this throw is going to CiCi or something like that and I run back to get it... and somehow Jay hits it out of the air. I don't know. Later, a long throw sails into Jay's hands while Charles was on him. This defies all logic.
Remember back in middle school when Earth used to own? I was rummaging through old files and I came across one of my good finishes in FFA. The name sucks, but I didn't make it. I kind of miss wasting my time with useless computer games. I prefer wasting my time on frisbee or ping pong nowadays, though.
I went to Tiffany's to play some ping pong. After having her wear me out for an hour, I determined that (1) she hits the ball harder and more consistently than anyone my age I've ever played with (yes, that was a direct jab at everyone else) and (2) she's the only one who can return my slams on a regular basis. This was before I tried her little brother, whose arms are somehow shorter than even mine (or at least it looks that way). He can not only return my slams, but he can also more or less slam my slams back at me. It gets really annoying after a while, like when I think I've slapped a winner across the net at some incredibly high speed, but then noooooooo, it bounces straight back along with additional speed. This usually ends up with me jumping the wrong direction while off-balance, causing me to look goofy.
I only managed to recite (not in the exact words, of course) seven of the commandments when I tried to remember them. I'm going to hell, definitely. I like this Ten Commandments of Computer Security webpage. In case you remember the "security through obscurity" thing I talked about before, it's on here too.
Volunteering today at GCEH was kind of weird. There were these two other teenagers who knew about as much about computers as I, or at least that's what it seems. This means I can make really bad computer jokes and have people understand. It's great. So there's this really tall kid named Brian from Westminster. I do not know why, but when he walked in I thought he looked familiar, and when he talked to me he said the same to me. Then he asked me if I participate in this-and-this activity, and I haven't even heard of any of them.
Oh yeah, we were talking about the static bags because we needed to transport a hard drive, and one of them looks at the other and says "have you ever fried a part with static?" He was expecting a definite no, of course, but I just looked at him and went like "uhhhh..........."
I need to kick this habit of speeding. It's like the alcohol speaker dude today. I tell myself stuff like "I can drive fast and safely" and "I don't have a speeding problem" and "I can stop speeding and drive at the speed limit whenever I want to." At least I'm not totally in denial... first step, I guess?
I think I might go to sleep early tonight. I'm determined to not fall asleep at Kumon tomorrow. I didn't finish my solitaire game that other time... maybe that stack is still there.

Was it one of the nerds on Westminster Academic Bowl who carried around the computer chip with them wherever they went? Because they looked like they knew a lot about computers, and I'm not just saying that because they wore their pants above their bellybuttons.

I doubt it. This kid dressed pretty nicely and you'd never know that he has computer knowledge from an outside appearance.
