Akbar is a lazy fool. So I brought him from Borders to Tiffany's house to copy her homework. Multiple calls to Tiffany failed, so he decided that we should just show up. After we got there, he chickened out and wouldn't go ring her doorbell. We sat in the car for fifteen or twenty minutes yelling at each other. He was trying to convince me to go look stupid with him, while I tried to convince him to go alone. Here was a brilliant segment:
Me: "NOOO!!"
Akbar: "Yes! Come with me. It'll only take thirty seconds!"
Me: "Go yourself, you useless Indian! Why are you so many times more
useless than even Ronjon?!"
Akbar: "Look at the time! It's been fifteen minutes! We could have
fucked by now!!"
Me: "I don't want to fuck you."
While in her basement, I watched as Akbar made amusing humping motions behind a clueless Tiffany.

Overstreet is giving one of his intense speeches. This time, it's about how he has issues with the "best legs" superlative. Right in the middle of his speech, our friend completely interrupts with...
"What?"
Then Overstreet continues with "My point is, for those who can understand it..."

I wanted to write this a while ago but I kept forgetting. I will probably visit Han Di some time next year. Like maybe during spring break, or maybe the beginning of the summer. She's in Canada now, Toronto I think.
So... who will want to come with me? I'll probably drive there if I have a license at that point, and visiting northeastern campuses during the trip wouldn't be a bad idea, either. The whole thing should last a little more than a week.
I command you to comment NOW and tell me that you want to come.

Yeah so I don't like the idea of Asians vs. Non-Asians. I mean... I don't say "Die, Dragos" very often, right? (Usually another name, one belonging to an Asian, follows the "die.")
Um, so the math homework... anyone have an idea of how to do the error and remainder stuff? Dragos didn't feel like doing it, and I don't know how to do it. Help! Did that demonstrate correct usage of the exclamation point, Strunk?

Apparently I fell asleep at like 10:30... I guess I was just too sleepy from lack of sleep during the week.
Crime and Punishment test? Yes, that was immense amounts of fun. Especially since I got maybe two of the ten quotes (by guessing).
On the other hand, I am enjoying econ. I think College Board should offer more than one level of AP course per subject (and have them not overlap). I really wish I could take another level of physics, and if I could, I would have taken some kind of economics course before senior year.

Our entire period on Friday was devoted to talking about a case of a girl who was a follower of Christian Science. She was 16 and collapsed at school due to some cancer. The state requires by law that she be treated, but she doesn't want it and we decided that her parents probably agree with her.
Coach O draws a comparison to a snake holder. He says that if you don't hold this rattlesnake, then your religion will kick you out... or something like that. Upon hearing this, our friend says in a whimpering voice *waah* "But I don't wanna die!"

On the way home from school, I was on Roswell when some whore decided that it'd be cool to stop suddenly and turn onto this little driveway. I wasn't paying attention, which is typical of my good driving. So I have to hit the brakes pretty hard to avoid owning the car in front of me. Then I hear this clunk, which I thought was a pothole in the road until I looked back. Some car was tailgating me apparently, and couldn't brake hard enough so it swerved to the right. That car didn't stop, and so I stopped and looked at my bumper. There was a set of scratches on that side, but they were so puny and pathetic that I couldn't figure out whether they were there before. So I still don't know whether the clunk was the pothole or the person behind me.
In other news, I was punched in the stomach many times today.

I fell asleep on the couch last night around 8, and my mom owned me about 15 minutes ago. So I thought, well, I haven't written anything in here for a while, so I might as well do it now since I've gotten plenty of sleep already anyways.
On Tuesday afternoon, I had to take Gene to OfficeMax or Office Depot (same thing anyways) to get mailing labels, then to his house to print them for WISC. At around 3:30, we were trying to get back. So I took the usual Providence route, which worked until just outside the school entrance, where no one moved. So this SUV ahead of us has the same problem. Well, he decides he'll drive on the wrong side of the road. As soon as he pulls over there, I follow.
Well, after going 200 feet, we run into a car going the right way on that side of the road. Needless to say, this was bad. So this SUV and I backed up waaaay back, which by now was pretty far because the line had gotten longer. I gave up and went through Pine.
Every day during lunch, lots of us go to the APES room. On Wednesday, I put a picture of Kenji over one of the holes on the lab stations, and then I took the metal stick that does in there and shoved it through Kenji's eye into the hole. Then Ronjon's like "Ohhhh I wanna be cool like David so I'll do that too." He tries like 10 times and keeps failing because he can't find the hole in the table underneath that picture. So I say, "So, is this how it is with Kristen?"
That wasn't even the worst of it. Ronjon had talked about the alimentary canal earlier, and to explain to Smyser, he had said "poop chute." So at this point, just after my comment, Smyser said something about a "size ten poop chute," which, I would assume, is a result of "missing" frequently. I don't think many people heard her. Now, even if you have never loved Smyser before, you must begin do so immediately.
Later that day, Mr. E saw the quote that goes... "Is Mr. E going out with Eva?" and let out a nice reaction. I tried to scurry off but ran into Ms. Martin, so I had to go back. By the way, I like how Eva's AIM profile consists of two lines: the usual Xanga advertisement line and the "I hate you, David" line. Die.
I talked to Dutter about her test and said "I heard a lot of people didn't even get to the free response or AP questions or whatever." Then she gave me the regular response, which goes "Oh, they'll be all right. Those aren't that many points." And by "that many," I'll bet she means not enough to fail you after the square root, which, as she pointed out (I think), is not really a curve.

The incident involving Overstreet yelling "NO!" totally beats anything else he did. But he did do a few funny things in the past few days.
Wheeler, as we all know, is located in the approximate center of the ghetto we know as East Cobb, and they do not offer a good education relative to other Georgia public schools.
On the other hand, Catholic schools... I forgot what he said about them, but that doesn't really matter. When asked "What about them?" by Erica, he responded by playing with his hat and muttered some incoherent noises that you would have expected to hear from a chimp after an electric shock during one of those experiments.

I've been reading that book (Crime and Punishment) ALL DAY this whole weekend. I've done practically nothing else. I got about 280 pages of it done in these two days... hopefully I can finish the rest soon.
I'm only on the computer right now as an escape from the book. I'm tired of reading it and I need a break.
I can't wait till tomorrow, when I won't be able to open my eyes during class because I'll probably be reading all of tonight...

that ass is in ap gov? i thought he was stupid?
tyson on Sunday, August 22, 2004 at 22:31
Yes, Tyson, you are correct on both counts. That ass is in AP Gov, and he is also stupid. That's all I have to say about him today.

Does anyone have a countdown of the number of days until science bowl nationals? By the way, if we don't make it, I'm going to run around the Parkview building naked for several days until they give up and let us have it.
I am never presenting anything about Freud ever again.
Dumb Zero Period Character
After walking in late, he wanders around the room in a futile effort to find an empty seat before resigning himself to sitting by the door he originally entered through. Ten minutes later, during the heated debate, he raised his hand and said "Since I came in late, could you tell me what we're talking abo--" or something to that effect. He didn't get to finish his question before he is interrupted by a loud "NO!" from the teacher.

Change that "Tricia's really hot twin sister who made an 'OMG!!! DID YOU SEE THAT??' face today when Ronjon flicked them off" to "Tricia's identical twin sister who is WAY hotter than Tricia herself and made an 'OMG!! DID YOU SEE THAT??' face today when Ronjon flicked them off." (And who was the one who believed this? haha) What was I thinking when I wrote the first one?
I did say I'd update this once school started. Well, I'm too lazy.
I like how our pizza never came today. Lame.
A rabid animal bit me today. My arm has a red ring where the teeth dug into my skin. I'm going to get a shot tomorrow, but they told me to catch the animal that bit me. Anyone know where I can find Eva right now?
I told Erica that I'd make a section on my Zhanga for "Dumb Zero Period Character." This will be a daily section from now on. If I don't get exact wording, I'll get the gist of it... and if I forgot that, then I'll make up something.
Dumb Zero Period Character
Overstreet said that the roof has "never not leaked." Then Character goes "never... not... leaked...?" with a confused look. Idiot.
Yesterday's Dumb Zero Period Character
"I don't shower, but..."
Well, so that wasn't exactly what he said, but it's pretty close. Whatever.

Edit: I swear, the quality of this daily feature will increase. I'm just lazy today and I'm only spending a minute or two to type this up.

Ronjon, don't you mean manalyze?
Ok so I was walking down the hallways and I saw this girl who looked just like Tricia. I almost blurted out "HEY WHORE!!!" until I realized that she did look a little different. I found out this afternoon that she is that hot twin sister of Tricia's (lol... Charles...). I guess it wouldn't have been so bad if I did call her a whore - I mean, think of what would happen when she goes home to tell Tricia:
Tricia's really hot twin sister who made an "OMG!!! DID YOU SEE THAT??" face today when Ronjon flicked them off: "OMG~!! Some random guy today yelled out 'HEY WHORE!' at me in the hallway for some reason~ you should have seen the look on his face afterwards! Like, OMG!"
Now, let's analyze the possible responses:
Tricia (The Defensive Sister possibility): "I'm going to find out
who that guy is and kick his ass!"
Tricia (The Eva possibility): "Pour water all over that bitch's crotch
and then dump some more on his face."
Tricia (The Tricia possibility): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think the Eva possibility may have been most likely today, because Tricia totally pulled an Eva and got me wet. Err, that sounded wrong. Well anyways, it was good that I didn't have to stand up in front of all of NHS and give a speech that I didn't memorize with this huge wet spot on my crotch (from her water bottle, thank you very much).
I'm going to take Tiffany off that List of Degraded People now. See those pictures? Daaaaaaaaaamnnn......
(Unrelated to anything) So that random Taiwanese girl just came again, this time with some weird looking dude. Hmm. I remember a long time ago she used to be really annoying (HMMMM! who does that remind me of). At least she's really nice now.
I used an XP machine at school today. Here's what I found, though there may be differences on the 98 machines. The school has disabled using Internet Explorer's "Save File" dialog box. You are no longer allowed to use that to download files. Right click is disabled in IE. You cannot use FTP at all. It is blocked at the firewall/gateway/something level. You basically can't do anything about it at the computer level.
However, you can still download files. Use an Office application's "Open..." dialog (or anything similar) and download it using that. Or you can just save your file as an html or jpeg file. For example... if you want to be able to download IHateTheDevil.doc from school, then save it as ILoveEnglish.html and go to it in a browser. Then just use "Save As..." and rename it once it's saved at school.
I don't know why the school uses these retarded implementations. They don't block squat. They should either do it cleanly or not at all, because making it imperfect just frustrates me when a loophole causes complications. I hate those dumb rules. Not only are you not allowed to download "files" now, but you can't upload them either. Retarded.
9:22PM
I forgot the add that one of the most striking things about the dream was how white the duck was. I don't remember the grass being green, the wire being "metal-colored," the sky or the water being blue (though there was a lake nearby), or any of that. But that duck was SO white.
Is this what spider neurotoxins do to you?
Please ignore whatever Tiffany says in her comments from now on. I have degraded her status on my List of Degraded People to that of... well, I don't know, I'll think of a title soon enough. (The only other person on that list... well, you can guess.)
12:40AM
LMAO
I just had the funniest dream EVER.
I know this is cruel but it's hilarious. Well, at least it's hilarious to me because I'm in shock at how my mind can come up with such a stupid and random thing to dream about.
I dreamed that I somehow attached a length (maybe 100 feet) of some kind of flexible metal wire (who knows) to a DUCK. Yes, duck.
Then I flew it like a kite... and that wasn't even the worst part. The poor duck for some reason started spinning. Well, the cord obviously wrapped around itself a lot. As it spun faster and faster as the cord got shorter because of the angular momentum thing, it became hopelessely owned and then finally dropped into a clump of wire. Then it was normal again once it was unwrapped.
What kind of STUPID, IDIOTIC, MORONIC dream was that?!?
Seriously.

I'm feeling less dead today. Dang, yesterday REALLY sucked hardcore. My butt still hurts though. The bite sticks out like a nipple. It's actually pretty funny... until I need to sit down. Then it is totally not funny because of the awesome pain.
I tried to find the TTL for a person who's been bitten by a black widow, but that didn't work too well. I couldn't find it. By the way, TTL is 1337 5p33k for Time To Live. Uhh... TCP/IP packets... you know, like when you push ping it says TTL = 127 or something like that out to the side. I'm not a dork.
Leaky Faucet asked in economics if the AP exam was second semester... apparently he thought it was in winter. Ronjon suggested calling him Niagara instead of Leaky Faucet.
So my lit presentation is going to be pretty much me talking about sex for half an hour. What else is there to talk about when my subject is Froid? Hmm, I think I'll spell his name like that on my sheet... I'd get an amazing grade for that.
Wikipedia owns.
Oh, I forgot to post this so I'll add it now... here is a quote from Coach Murphy: "Worse than Pepsi? What's worse than Pepsi?"
This was in response to me complaining about the taste of an unknown black liquid found on Smyser's lab pods in the back.
8:55PM
Aw come on people you have to answer the question at the bottom of the post, about Akbar! That's what makes today's post fun.
uhh nooo you are definately my whore, because i can and have taken advantage of you many times.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........... Something I'm not aware of? Not that I object =)
And no, it wasn't a new shirt but I've only worn it a few times.
1:21AM
It isn't a brown recluse because there is no ring - it looks like a pimple and has white in the middle where it sticks out the most. Do you know how many mirrors it took me to figure that out!?!? I also haven't ever seen a brown recluse anywhere, including my house, but I guess its name can explain why this is.
I regret missing frisbee =( I was asleep during most of it.
Great, even less time to read Crime and Punishment because I was asleep like 18 hours of the last 24.
Let's take a vote on the object of Akbar's description. Everyone take a guess on this one:
NyCbased989: she is a major bitch
NyCbased989: she can kick my ass
I'm tired.

I feel extremely sick. My entire head hurts. I have a bee sting or something similar on my butt. It just showed up after I woke up and I have no idea how it got there, especially since I had long pants on. That's painful primarily because I can't sit properly. My stomach is in extreme discomfort, and though I want to vomit like I've just eaten Palms, it's not a stomachache like I might get after Palms. I'm just feeling really crappy all over.
In short, I'm not coming to frisbee unless I can get up without falling back down. I'd probably play worse than Jay anyways, so it's not worth anyone's time.

Whooooooooooreeeeeee I'm not your whore, you're my whore! You know, if you hadn't been saying that you need a whore, I would have thought that you died or went back to Korea and got nuked or something. I have lit 2nd and gov 0th.
Uh, yeah, somehow I picked the only pink tie photo without the pink glasses. I don't know how that happened, but I'm too lazy to change it now. Oh well. I'm sure people like Snoddy and Boyd will enjoy that one.
A failsafe way to avoid creating confusion in math classrooms is to begin "If you think about when n equals one million, so that you have one million factorial over ten to the 6 millionth power..." Then I squeaked and of course this allowed people to concentrate with great efficiency on the math problem.
wendy0428: do you have williams for econ
icydog1: yeah
wendy0428: haha
wendy0428: you've gotta be the one who sleeps in class
icydog1: hmm
icydog1: who'd you hear from?
wendy0428: williams
[...]
wendy0428: and i was like, "what??" and he was like, "i have a student
who just can't manage to stay awake"
So essentially, because he has a student that can't stay awake, it must be me. Well, logical enough, I guess.
I tried Kraaaazy Gluing the Darwin fish to my car. That did not work at all and I now have Kraaaazy Glue stuck on my trunk lid in the outline of a fish. Great. I'll use Liquid Nails tomorrow. That will work without a doubt. There is nothing Liquid Nails can't do, including causing flash fires, respiratory ailments, and cancer (but only in California).
My mom's owning me. Going.

Seriously, whore, where are you? I haven't seen you yet, even though all of my classes are loaded with awesome people. You're one of the few that my schedule is missing. =( Why are you not in APES!?!!
<-- Shelley dropped off one of these (except it's not quite as shiny... but who cares) in my mailbox. YOU OOOOOOWN! It'll be on my car tomorrow for all to see =) I don't care if my parents complain about me sticking stuff onto the car... they can eat it.
I fell asleep in econ again. After class, the teacher asked me if my MO is to be tired. I like that guy so much, but I just get so tired that I can't stay awake. It really sucks.
You know, if Überbitch got any more annoying, I'd have to shoot myself. Oh wait, she can't get any more annoying. I guess I don't have to shoot myself then. And my phone still says "david=Überbitch" on it because I am too lazy to get rid of it.
I got my photos today of the pink tie. Ownage. (I'm wearing the shirt and pants because the graduation ceremony was 2 hours after the photo was taken.) Let's get Tiffany to cheerlead for science bowl while wearing that at nationals. We'll win for sure.
Ok, so let me explain why I was not at the NHS meeting.
Last night, I set three alarms; my clock, my phone, and my bedroom computer. Occasionally, my alarm or phone can wake me up, but usually a combination of the two will do it. Just to make sure, I set my computer to blast Darude - Music at 6:10 AM and I turned the speakers all the way up. I tested the Windows Task Scheduler not once, not twice, but three times, each successful, before I went to sleep. When I heard knocking on my door at 7:03 AM, I noticed that my computer had not played any music, my phone was not ringing, and my alarm clock was silent. The phone probably went off and turned itself off after an hour, but the clock and computer make no sense at all. I checked my computer settings again a little while ago, and sure enough, the time and date were set correctly. It just decided to not wake me up. Retarded Microsoft.
Alright, I'm too lazy to write more.
10:43PM
I searched SPSS (www.spss.com) on WinMX. I was looking for the statistical analysis program (sorry, Mary...) described in that link. What do I get? Let me quote the file name: "cheerleaders lesbian spss THE BUCKETHEADS mp3 morricone kate smith god bless america mp3 painter img.gif"
I mean, seriously, can you fit more crap into a single line?
So today I was trying to get out of the parking lot at around 3:15. I drove through the construction and turned left towards Ashtray Place to get to Roswell from Providence. Well, I don't know what happened, but a bunch of whores wouldn't move. I sat in my car for ten minutes while sandwiched between two cars so tightly that I couldn't maneuver at all. Then at the end of my wait, the car in front of me moved up a little. I quickly moved up and backed up to the side a little before the car behind me could sandwich me again. So I went home through the Sewell Mill exit. Why do people stop for so long at the stop sign? Geez, if you want to be as ass and block traffic, at least do it in a neighborhood and not on the road where I want to drive.
The warranty on my toasted hard drive is expired =( Can't get a replacement... what a shame. Oh well, I already got that drive replaced twice without much cost to me (just shipping). I think that's good enough.
Ok, back to those lit questions.
Oh, I fell asleep in econ for practically the entire period. Somehow he knew my name... that surprised me. He said something while I was asleep, then he looks at me and says, "RIGHT, DAVID??" And that's when I woke up and mumbled, "...uhhh.... yeah..."

I know... I hate posting song lyrics. But I absolutely LOVE this song. I mean, I could put it on repeat for 72 hours like Everytime, except I feel that this song is actually good and not retarded but somehow hypnotizing like Everytime.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
All of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
Oh, yeah. I'm going to quit working at Kumon. The Japs there (well, not Pepe) really annoy me a lot, and I really don't like the job. I mean, it's so useless... physically, there is no free time since I'm always grading things, but mentally, it is entirely free time. The problem is, if my mind is free but my hands aren't, I can't do anything productive. I don't like wasting my time like this. "What's wrong with wasting time to earn money?" Well, I really can't stand just letting my mind idle and do absolutely nothing. I mean, if I were teaching a kid how to do interesting things... maybe even if I was explaining how to do something easy like find a common denominator, that'd be ok. But I don't even get to do that. AND there's stupid "Kumon way" of doing things, which I find to be just really narrow-minded and restricting. If I want to add improper fractions instead of mixed numbers, then screw you, I will efficiently do it my way instead of wasting my time on the dumb method.
I won't have time to keep up with that, schoolwork, and college apps, anyways. I was told that someone will find me a job at Siemens in January, after college stuff is done. So I'll take him up on that offer and hopefully get paid a humane amount of money per hour instead of crap per hour (crap = enough to buy 1 free NIC per month).
Besides, with a name like that, who wouldn't want to work at Siemens?
11:53PM
Well, I did promise real entries... so here they sort-of come. They come only if I'm busy enough to want to procrastinate but not busy enough to not have so much to do that I won't be able to sleep. Like tonight... I have LOADS of work to do. No sleep.
Umm, so yeah I need to get working. Bye.
Maybe I'll talk about my classes a bit first. Government seems good, but it's kind of crowded. The bio class is so ownage it's almost like APES. I think I will die in Fleenor's class. We'll skip talking about this. Next is third period with Williams for econ... I think I will enjoy this a lot. Then APES, and lunch, and multivariable where WE HAVE TO TAKE THE DANG FINAL. Dangit. I was hoping for a break in at least one class at the end of the semester.
So 5th period Dutter has an AP Physics class, and guess who's in it... yeah that's right, the überbitch named Eva. I'm going to bother her sooo much that she's going to fail. Although if that happens I think she'll just whine about it to me and annoy me a lot, but then again, that isn't anything I'm not used to. How many negatives were in that sentence?
Ok bye I really have loads to do today. Fastest entry ever during a school year. It was like three minutes. Usually even if I write this little it's at least ten minutes so I can read it over again. No time today.

I drove to school a little while ago to check where my parking spot is. I run into a cop and drive past him like he's not there. Then he backs up and asks me what I'm doing. Stupid whore, can't a little Chinese boy go check where his stupid parking space is without being questioned? When I told him what I was doing, he said, "At 10:20 at night?" in a sarcastic way. Screw him.
At least I turned off my music before rolling down my window. He'd probably have arrested me for being so flamingly gay. I was listening to JoJo...
Speaking of gay:
ManOfAwesome: i think i just out gayed you
ManOfAwesome: i downloaded jessica simpson - i wanna love you forever
ManOfAwesome: beat that
icydog1: i did, three years oge
icydog1: ago*
Remote Desktop + wireless ethernet is soooooo ownage. Now my cardboard crap can connect to my good computer and actually get some work done at decent speeds. It still lags, though... apparently 166 MHz isn't enough even to run the RD client well.
11:25PM
Hey, I don't feel so stupid any more about the Nero thing. Where it says "Nero - Burning ROM," it's supposed to be like Nero burning Rome. I thought that was funny. Maybe that's just me, though...
Where is the Harold & Kumar sequel!??! I've waiting like a whole week since H&K came out and still no sequel! What's taking them!!??
My computer is mostly working... now I have to sift through a thousand MP3s to figure out which ones I don't like so I don't have to listen to them.
Hey, I just found the Smoke a Bowla song. It goes with the Coke tune... except the words are a bit rigged.. for example:
We don't all drink Coke but we all wipe our butt
Take a toilet paper and roll up some tin foil
Real entries will start tomorrow. I promise.

I'm still reinstalling, and I noticed something that I couldn't not post here.
I was renaming all my Quick Launch stuff, and I ran into "Nero - Burning ROM" (the CD burning software). And I hit myself on the head many, many, many times for not catching this earlier. Burning ROM? hahahahahaha did anyone else not notice this before, or am I not alone in being stupid? I mean, I noticed "Nero" and associated that with "burn," but I didn't ever think about the "ROM."
haha
12:49PM
Parts of the local copy of my site are messed up... and I have no way of knowing which parts these are (there are random files with random errors, and I'm not going to go through thousands of files to figure this out), so some pages/pictures/files may be a little weird. Tell me if you see anything strange.
Nobody's FTP stuff was affected.
Still no real posts until I get things working... I tried installing Windows 2000 Server on this computer, but that created massive errors because some software "works" on it but hasn't really been tested.. so I had to format again. For some reason I'm on XP now even though I hate it.

On Wednesday, I went to the neighbors' house to do stuff with their computer. They asked me if I burn pictures to CDs, and I said no, I just leave them on my hard drive and hope they don't die. Then on Thursday, lightning hit pretty hard, and I joked about it frying my computer because it's never happened.
When I come home from frisbee, I decided I would write about how much I hated it. But nope, I didn't get to.
Initial damage estimates:
- One 60 GB, ATA133 hard drive
- 25 out 30 GB of installers I have (yes... that's rather damaging)
- >100 MB of Trillian logs dating back for more than two years (yes, sadly, I will no longer be able to pull out incriminating material about you... but really, this sucks because I like reading old things and thinking about the past)
No more Zhanga anythings until I get my computer back in working order. I still have to install around 25 programs that I use frequently.
