Uhhhhhhhhhhh.... so today was my MIT interview.

The highlight was when I said "underfreshmen" instead of "underclassmen." Coincidentally, I was talking about Science Club.

Which useless sag got that word in my head by saying it after WISC last year!!? Oh well, at least I gave Mr. Interviewer a good laugh.

My mom invited a few families to come for dinner on Saturday night. A couple of sags came and I had to entertain them. Entertaining strangers is a crappy task, especially sags that you don't know. What am I supposed to talk about, OMG Justin Timberlake is soooo kyooote!! kekekekeke^^?

I went upstairs to find some parents making fun of Bush. They were talking about how Schwarzenegger running for president is ludicrous, but that he can't be any stupider than Bush. Then my mom jumped in and said that Bush is a "safe" choice because he has a mom, dad, and wife to look after him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. I guess my mom is a little more lenient with the word "stupid" than I am. It's funny when she makes fun of Bush, though.

I absolutely loooooooooooooooooove this LCD screen. It's just so.... fun. It's so clear and crisp, so I can lean back in my chair and still be able to easily read anything on the screen. I love it. It makes pictures look prettier too.

And Heart of Darkness... why does it have to suck so much? I rank this one just a tiny bit above The Awakening. Even that story about a bug and its apple was better. It uses so many stupid adjectives and lengthy descriptions that I lose track of what's happening in the story. And nothing even happens in the story. Or maybe I just missed it all. Ah, how I hate English.

My mind keeps wandering while reading. Once, when the book was talking about the ship, I thought about the rudder. (Oops, I typed rubber.) From the rudder, I thought of an airplane's rudder. Then from there, I thought about the wire that often runs between the cockpit and the tip of the tail on older planes, and I thought about what that's for. Then I imagined a pilot using that to help him bail out, even though I'm sure that's not its purpose. Then from the bailing out, I thought about the Battle of Britain. And that led to fighters shooting at each other. And that led to the story about this pilot who shot down this other pilot, and circled back to look at him, but let him parachute to safety. When they coincidentally met again in the skies, the one who won the first dogfight lost this time, but the victorious pilot recognized him and let him go.

Hah, now as I'm typing this, I'm reminded of the story of a recon guy (I think he was in a Corsair) in WWII who was right behind a Japanese plane, but he couldn't shoot because he was too high and his guns froze. So he sawed off the guy's tail with his propeller and scored a kill.

Conclusion: If I can get from ships to frozen machine guns, then I have a serious case of ADD.

Ok, back to reading. I had to take a break because reading that book made me want to shrivel up into a prune-like object and die a slow death.

And you thought she was a nice girl... look at this totally uncalled-for evilness =)

Tiffany flicking me off

Anyways, yesterday morning was a semi-success. It would have been mostly a success had I gotten my laminator, but they were out. How GAY. It also seems like there were more good stuff last year. Oh well.

I got a webcam, which is lots of fun. Not really though, because I'm paranoid that it'll catch me doing something incredibly stupid. I'm also afraid that I'll accidentally start singing in front of my computer when I have an audio chat session going. This is why cool stuff sucks.

Now, what they REALLY need to come up with is a materials teleportation device. Put something on a pad on your desk, and your friend receives it on his desk. Now that would be totally sweeeeeeeeeet. But I guess a drawback would be if you accidentally put embarrassing things on it. I won't even give examples of possible bad items to teleport.

AHHH do you realize what time I am going to sleep every night now that I have this stupid webcam contraption?!?! This'll be far worse than plain old AIM. Ahh!

Today wasn't quite so much of a waste. It was fun, except for the part when my mom made me leave Ai's house reeaaally early. That was just lame.

I woke up at 1:03 or so this afternoon when my mom knocked on my door and told me to get working on those essays. Then I remembered about frisbee and thought "oh, crap." But Gene was late too, and he came to pick me up, so it was ok.

My mom got mad at me for not eating lunch and shoved lunch down my throat with a poker after frisbee. An hour later, I ate thanksgiving dinner at Ai's but I was really late because my mom wanted to finish watching a dumb Chinese soap opera. And obviously I couldn't eat much because my mom lamely forced me to eat an hour before.

After dinner, we walked to Blockbuster and rented Elf. It was really funny at parts. The best part was when he made 60 snowballs in 3 seconds and then machine-gunned them at about 400 rounds per minute. The shot he took at the last kid was pretty awesome, too.

Things I'm thankful for, other than the usual stuff:

  1. The prospect of getting a free laminator tomorrow.
  2. Having enough bathrooms strategically placed in this house so that I will never have to walk more than 20 feet to get to one.
  3. Bill, because he makes me feel like I have a purpose in life. On the flip side, he makes me lose faith in humanity.
  4. Food.

Things I'm not thankful for:

  1. JAMES ISN'T HERE!!!1 OMGOMGOMG KEKEKEKE^^ WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITHOUT JAMES!? I'LL DIE!!!111111
  2. Election results.
  3. Being kept awake until 4 AM every night by a small furry red animal.
  4. AOL. It has done so many gay things. Just a few days ago, it killed Nullsoft, the company that produces Winamp. That means there will forever be no more features added to Winamp. This sucks, and it makes me very angry. (BetaNews sums it up pretty well.)

11:32PM

Yesterday was a splendid waste of a day.

---

Camp's pop quiz was funny.

1. Name one of the three types of plate boundaries.
...
4. Name the transform boundary located in the US.

Great way to not give out answers.

Some other question (#2 maybe?) was something like "How many mass extinctions have there been in the Earth's history?"

Well, people whined that this is unclear, and that there have been major and minor extinctions.. etc. So she said, "There have only been TWO extinctions that wiped out more than 90% of the world's species. Oops."

So far, I'm owning the stores on Friday morning with Charles and Gene. Who else is signing up? If we have enough people, then we can spread out and decrease risk while increasing return. (Did I sound like some gay economist?) Who cares if we're violating the "more risk, more return" law?

Oh, and when I was saving the file containing the list of items we're getting, I saved it as BF1942.doc instead of BF2004.doc. Wow, I suck at life.

Since I didn't post for half of last week, I'll make up for it by posting what I didn't write.

I hate sags because they (well, I think it's just her) think I'm gay. I hate them all. Am I really supposed to know the names of gay mags?

AngeI0fEternity: i was reading this magazine at borders today
icydog1: yeah?
AngeI0fEternity: GL
    [that was supposed to be GQ]
AngeI0fEternity: is that for gay ppl?
icydog1: did you seriously just ask me that?
AngeI0fEternity: yes?

I hate hate hate hate hate you.

And on the opposite end of the awesomeness scale, here's Will being totally totally awesome:

Hk ChYnKbOi: ahhh, my dad is eatting durian again... help!!!!
icydog1: lol
icydog1: sucker!!
Hk ChYnKbOi: maybe i'll go fart near him and see how he feels about that
icydog1: it won't smell any different
Hk ChYnKbOi: maybe it'll mutate the smell and make it better

Hm, did anyone else even find that funny? I laughed out loud at it.

11:20PM

I had a pretty worthless conversation with Ronjon. That was pretty redundant.

Yesterday:

("That Chinese girl" is Erica. I'm not sure exactly why her name doesn't exist in our vocabulary. Don't worry, it's nothing personal.)

Later edit: I have figured out why her name is not in our vocabulary. It's because Ronjon's Indian tongue can't pronounce Chinese names like "Erica."

Ronjon: I got a 100 on that math quiz! I bet I beat that Chinese girl.
Me: Nice. I bet she got a 150.
Ronjon: No, I think I beat her.
Me: No way. She's Chinese! She must have beaten you. What'd she get?
Ronjon: Dunno.

Today:

Ronjon: I got a 46 on that quiz.
Me: What happened to the 100?
Ronjon: I made this one stupid mistake.
Me: So the Chinese girl beat you? What a surprise. What'd she get?
Ronjon: I think she got like a 98 or something.
Me: Ouch, owned. How did you lose so many points from one mistake?
Ronjon: Well, it was a mistake that I made over and over again.
Me: What was it?
Ronjon: I took the derivative weird and then multiplied something with something and did something. (Yes, he actually said "something" that many times.)
Me: Uhh, ok?
Ronjon: I don't know, I haven't actually looked at my quiz yet.

Later:

Me: There's no way you could have beaten that Chinese girl. She got like a 97 on that test when the average was a 22.
Ronjon: I got like a 60. That's still pretty good!
Me: She owned you pretty hard.
Ronjon: It was like an 80 after corrections. She had like a 99 though.
Me: Hmm, so she lost 20 times less points than you.
Ronjon: Well, I got 20 times more points back on corrections.

So optimistic =) lol

I'm so mad today because Pepple made us stay after school for an NHS meeting. So I screwed around during all of 7th period, went to a useless meeting, and then came home. That was a great waste of two hours.

One productive thing did get done, though. Ronjon and I took out überbitch's physics homework and completely covered it with Dutter's awesome stamps. They say "Messy Work" and "Poor Work" with funny looking faces above the words. The "Poor Work" face is just a sad face, but the "Messy Work" one owns because it's a face that has injuries everywhere, a few of which are covered by bandages.

30 minutes later, she tried to chase after Ronjon, ran into a door, and went "waaahh waaaahh" a lot.

I can't wait till Friday! It's going to be so fun getting up at 5 AM, but oh it will be SOOOO worth it.

Who's coming shopping with me? Let's all go together so we can fight each other for the stuff. Actually, I have a better idea. Let's all line up at the entrance. Then we can have a few designated people walk very, very slowly so that everyone else can't rush in. Meanwhile, we'll have a few designated runners who will charge in and grab a lot of good stuff for everyone. Does this sound like a plan to anyone else? At least it'll be fun, even if it is doomed to failure.

Saturday was Brookwood. We finished second to Dorman =( They stomped us pretty badly. Those gay disease questions were really gay though.

There was this one totally 1337 question. It started with the usual strong, conductive, ductile, etc description, and then went on to list the metal's uses. I heard "ammunition" and buzzed in without thinking, because I equated ammunition with lead. But then the guy leaked "casings" after I buzzed, and then I realized that lead is weak, a poor conductor, and not very ductile.

So, in one of the most horrendously planned thought processes ever, I immediately began thinking about shooting Gene in the face in Wolfenstein with a submachine gun while standing on a concrete surface. I saw the yellow casings fly to my right and heard the rattle of the casings against the ground. Voila! Brass. I should play that game more. Maybe I will become better at quiz bowl.

Then I got home and Wendy asked me to help her dad buy a hard drive. Micro Center was out of stock. I picked up an 802.11b wireless card for free after MIR, though. I guess that made the trip worthwhile.

Today's been a huge waste. Tomorrow will be even worse. But the rest of the week will rock!

I hope I passed the math test. I think I did better on that than on the quiz, at least.

The APES PowerPoint was great. Apparently Camp isn't too much of a Bible fan, because she got irritated after two or three slides of Bible material (our topic is "The History of the World") and said "I was hoping for more science." I think that presentation made fun of certain people/things pretty well. One slide managed to say "new-cue-lur" about six times. Not only that, but the title of the slide was "Postmodern Era." Who does that sound like?

I told Bill that there was a math club meeting today. Oops.

I'm so sleepy. I was pretty close to falling out of my chair just a second ago. I think I know what this means: it's time to sleep.

8:07PM

Oops, I forgot to post for a while.

So, Shelley (Nov 14, everything but the middle section) decided to post practically an essay about me. What did I do to you? Sure, I happen to think that you are a stupid, pretentious, psycho, self-proclaimed non-Christian piece of shit who tries to act like a Christian, but can't we just forget about our differences and go on with life?

However much I disagree with the Bible, at least Christians have it as a reason for believing what they do. You're pretty much left in the middle of nowhere.

Why are you always so angry? You and Drew really would make a great couple, eh? Oh wait, Drew's smart enough to never make that kind of stupid mistake again.

I've gotten nothing done for the past few hours due to the usual, and then I've been fuming about this stupid @&!#* girl for the past 30 minutes. So much for always trying to be nice to you. I think you broke that part of me.

Hm, did I sound angry? Whoops.

Frisbee was at 3 yesterday afternoon. I made the mistake of riding Kenji's car. He skids around every corner even in his SUV... now that's probably worse than even my driving.

After that, Kenji and Ai came over for some ping pong. Kenji said he'd cry every night for the rest of his life if Ai beat me after I beat him (I love her name... haha it creates chaos in order), so surely enough, she beat me. Or I guess I hit the ball into the wall a few times, but that's irrelevant. Now to catch him crying...

Then Ai did her shoebox project for BC. This consists of an Asian eating rice out of a conical container. She somehow decided that it would be "cool" if the Asian was named David Zhang and was gay with flaming yellow hair and an I LOVE JESUS shirt. Go take a look at the shoebox sometime. It's great.

Oh, she even drew a slab of meat and some watermelon next to me and my flaming Jesus shirt.

In the ever-useful class of APES today, Camp started spewing steam out her top when she started talking about Republicans diverting environmental cleanup funds to go to other stuff. I liked when she asked, "How many of you took this class because you care about the environment and want to make a difference?" and not a hand was raised. (I didn't see Leah Fox raise her hand... did she?)

I guess it sounded like I was sucking up, but I wasn't lying when I said that I do care about the environment and want to "make a difference." This just happens to totally not be the reason I took the class. If I wanted to take a class to make a difference in the environment by lobbying, then I would have taken an environmental politics course. We're supposed to learn science in this class, not politics.

I also like how the answer to everything was God.

"Where did the Earth come from?"
"God."

"How did oxygen build up in the atmosphere?"
"God."

"What created the Moon?"
"Jesus."

What a useful class. Wait till we give our PowerPoint presentation... I'm sure people like Daniel Gilbert will love it.

Camp gets +100 points for calling the evolution sticker people "morons" and then making a highly mocking "oops-did-I-say-that" face. This almost gets her out of the red. Almost back up to zero points...

There will be no math or science club meetings on Monday or Tuesday of next week. There is a math tournament at Lassiter High on Saturday, Dec 4, though. As usual, we need people to go. So, talk to me if you can go.

Oh, I have a funny story from Academic Bowl today. First of all, Tiffany owes me a bunch of lapdances. So I was with Yujing, and he asked me when I'm going to get them. Before even thinking about what I was saying, I said, "She's so slow... it needs to come faster!"

Oops...?!

Then Yujing and I walked out of B-200 and ran into Tiffany and Lilly. I started trying to tell the story: "We were talking about lapdances." But this was a failure. As soon as I said "lapdances," I turned around, and I found Dutter standing about a foot from me. She had teleported out of nowhere, AGAIN. I swear I had seen her walking in the same direction not 15 minutes before.

That's another OOPS.

As Dutter was walking away, she said, "I catch you every time!" Now what was that supposed to mean?

DRAGOS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good thing he won, or else I'd make fun of him for the rest of his life. That Indian (or was it the girl?) was right behind Dragos. This is the Indian who kept holding his answer remote thingy up and acting like an idiot. He looked sooo dumb doing that. Why would you point it at the screen when the receiver box is on the other side... towards the audience?

Is it just me, or have the past two days of comments been rather interesting?

Newsflash (from Agape Press, "Christian News Service"):

The Discovery Institute analyst says the one witness Gunn put on the stand was not even a scientist. He adds that, in his opinion, Gunn "either threw the case on purpose, or he simply doesn't know what he was doing."

Even Christians are feeling a bit hopeless? I hope this means the sticker will be bye-bye. And I got jipped in government today. I have to write the essay for our group.

Then some sags made me be late for gaybowl. I didn't get to enjoy this question (from a previous year at Brookwood) with the rest of them:

(tiebreaker) 1. Name the structure that can double in length to nearly five inches when blood flows to it and it is strengthened by cartilaginous rings...

Let your imagination finish the question =) The answer is trachea, by the way.

Ronjon sent me this CNN article about Abercrombie's racial discrimination, [link removed] then said that Baek works in a packing room at A&F.

James - there's two categories of Xanga links on my links page: those I read and those who whine. But the only way to know which one you are is to remember whether you've whined. So I guess for you it's moot =) I'll add you anyways.

9:37PM

I didn't say anything about Cantonese because I don't know how Cantonese people talk... it just sounds funny to me. I just know that Taiwanese is kinda weirdish and 哥哥 is pronounced weirdly like that.

Yes, I think Fleenor will like this Didi/Gogo thing. Hmm. Maybe I'll bring it up one day, though it just sounds stupid.

I don't think it's worth getting into a fight over something Gene said about Cantonese people. I make fun of Koreans every day and my good whore just keeps on pumping out those sandwiches and babies =)

On the way to the math tournament, the best word ever was invented... buffet was mispronounced BUF-it, as in what Gene wants to do to a nameless annoying Chinese girl. Awesome mispronunciation.

Then that gay competition took like 18 hours of my night away. There goes valuable homework time.

Ah, forget this. I'm going to sleep.

12:12AM


Monday, November 15, 2004 (14 comments)

Is it just me, or is Beckett screwing with Chinese people?

In the play, Vladimir = Didi and Estragon = Gogo. Right?

弟弟 and 哥哥?

"Didi" is pinyin for "younger brother," and "gege" is pinyin for "older brother." However, if you are rigged (aka you are from Taiwan), then instead of "gege," you say "gogo."

Vladimir seems more like the older brother (Gogo), and Estragon the younger (Didi). Why did Beckett have to flip the names? This is utterly confusing.

Look, it owned Gene:

nik3lbak: and put vladmir as gogo on my datasheet
nik3lbak: until i realized he was didi

Tim, are you calling me gay? Don't make me butt sex you.

WANT ME TO PROVE TO YOU RIGHT NOW THAT I'M NOT GAY!? I'll take off my pants RIGHT NOW!! (That was Drew, in case you somehow could not tell.)

Also, if you couldn't tell (maybe I didn't make it clear enough), the guy who wrote the article about Satan's craters (yesterday's post) is being sarcastic. He believes creationism is bunk, so he's making fun of it.

Let me reproduce something from Charles's Xanga:

Dutter: so i called to get some more thyroid medicine cuz i dont have a thyroid and they were busy and couldnt accept orders but i was going to run out...
Charles: wait a sec, you have no thyroid...?
Dutter: um, yes
Charles: wait, huh..? wha, how, um, what happened to your thyroid..?
Dutter: it got burned out by radiation
Charles: ummmm... where/what were you doing that subjected you to lots of radiation...?
Dutter: um, -silence, stops talking- so why are you still at school?

Can you say CIA!??!?! Holy crap that's the most convincing thing yet. What else could she possibly be doing that would cause her to get so badly owned by radiation? Geez.

In preparation for the acts in Lit, I stuck some sound effects together to come up with an awesome sequence of awesome which was played during James's entry onto the stage (he was the wrestler). You'll enjoy this clip if you haven't heard it already.

Science bowl tomorrow. I'm not going to waste any more time writing junk in here.

Today, rather than me blabbering on about how useless the world is, how much I hate humanity, or how much sleep I didn't get last night, I will let others do the speaking. I've gathered some quotes that may be enjoyable.

These come from the bestest page in the universe (it has even overtaken Maddox, who runs the Best Page in the Universe). This page is called "Creationist Geologic Time Scale: an attack strategy for the sciences."

In the beginning, there is a list of characteristics of the world for the first 1,500 years after creation. Here is #7, my personal favorite:

(7) Battle of Satan and angels produces craters on moon.

The paper then goes on to my next favorite line...

Lunar craters are interpreted by Morris (1978) as the result of a cosmic battle between Satan's angels and those of the Archangel Michael (Figure 2). NASA has not yet accepted this model.

Mr. Awesome (I will refer to the author as Mr. Awesome henceforth) has even included a diagram to help explain this. Make SURE you look at the diagram. It is simply amazing. And don't give it just a passing glance. Make sure you look in every corner, because it is as packed with awesomeness as is artistically possible.

Now, Mr. Awesome gives a series of events that occur in the Earth's history. Event #22, which is somewhere between 4,500 years ago and the present, is described like this:

(22) Late-flood granite masses, formed at 1,000 degrees (F.), cool to present low temperatures at rates in violation of all laws of thermal physics. Fit to radiometric dates is mere coincidence.

Then here's one that tickles my funny bone:

Creationists (Gish, 1992, and Ham, 1993) use Biblical statements of the absence of death in Eden prior to the apple incident to conclude that all animals, including dinosaurs, were vegetarians at that time. Thus, they would claim that God created Tyranosaurus [sic] Rex to eat leaves with those teeth and peacefully share Eden with lions, humans, and the like.

Ok, last one:

Thick carbonate muds collected in those early ocean basins only to be hurled onto the continents by violent runaway subduction during the flood as plates moved at speeds 1 to 10 km per hour, depending on the model.

So to keep up with continental drift, you'll have to run pretty fast.

If this hasn't convinced you by now to read the article in its entirety, I don't know what will. If you plan on reading this at school, try to do so before those Bushite heads of the school district block that site. And please thank Dragos for finding this awesome site.

Oh, and I got an email from babbiegurlrpj@toughguy.net (antithesis?) which begins "Hello Icychick" and consists of a futile (which fits all of those definitions... useless, loquacious, and whatever else he gave us) attempt to convert me to Christianity.

Oh God, save my soul. I'm so sorry that I have sinned against you, but I have come home. I will serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. Deliver me from all my sinful habits. Set me free! I do believe Jesus died on Calvary for me, and I believe in His blood, that there is power in His blood to wash away all my sins, all my sins!

Ai ya...

My wireless network broke yesterday for no reason whatsoever. I tried to fix it late at night, but instead got caught and owned by my mom. Then I tried to fix it after coming home from school today, but that failed when I kept falling asleep. No more sneaking online =(

Ok, funny story time.

Today in APES, we watched 5 minutes of a useless video that included a clip of these antelope-looking things totally getting it on. Then Tim interrupts by saying "HE'S HORNY!!!"

That's about as bad as the "shitty hands" one.

Ok, next funny story.

Yesterday, Eva was reading questions for science bowl. She was being überbitchly annoying (hmm, big surprise) after a question, so Ronjon yells out "SHUT UP, WHORE!" But before he could say "WHORE," everyone in the room had shut up. So then everyone turned around at him and stared. Mrs. Lessans looked super angry, and Dutter said "WHAT did you just say!?"

Good job, you Indian.

8:51PM

So today in Biology, I went to the back of the room as soon as class began. I didn't want to fall asleep again and have to be told to go to the back again, because I knew that I would have fallen asleep if I sat at a desk. In fact, I did completely fall asleep a few times while standing. Yesterday, I was just kind of drifting off. Today, it was really bad. I wonder if I will have to do this for the rest of the semester.

Dutter won't let us do the t-shirt design that practically everyone had agreed upon. The back was going to be like this:

1337

=)

That would have been awesome, but Dutter claims that this has nothing to do with science and that it is way too arrogant. How is that arrogant? It's like saying "science rocks" on the back. Oh well.

My whore Tricia whined about this month's no whoring rule and wanted an exemption. Sure, sounds good to me. Now get back to your day job of making me waffles and sandwiches =)

Look, pirating is good (from eWeek):

On the Linux front, Gates disputed claims that Windows is losing market share to Linux, although he predicted that the movement from various flavors of Unix to Linux would continue. He said Microsoft isn't losing share to Linux overseas because pirated copies of Windows are widely available.

One of Microsoft's goals, Gates said, is to become more than "just another flavor of free software in China." As economies expand, as they have in places such as South Korea and Hong Kong, Gates predicted that China and other countries would begin respecting intellectual property and paying for the software they use.

The last paragraph is lame, but he makes up for it by actually being funny for once. Has Big Bill ever done this before?

Gates admitted that Linux is a "clear competitor" to Microsoft operating systems, but in a nod to the site of his remarks, added, "We have had clear competition in the past. It's a good thing we have museums to document that."

Thanks to someone (I HATE YOU @!$*#) who kept me up way too late last night, I fell asleep in biology today. Ok, so I probably would have fallen asleep anyways, but that's not the point. Greenberg made me stand in the back of the room, where I drifted off even while standing. But I did manage to not fall over. I can just imagine myself falling... falling... falling... splat, down on the floor I go. I think I'll try that tomorrow to see what the class's reaction will be.

I must admit that I paid attention for most of that period and that I learned much more effectively than I usually do.

Ok, and what is with that stupid girl who sleeps EVERY day and hasn't had a single word said to her yet? That girl who always looks like she's been crying for the past 48 hours. ALWAYS. And I'll bet she doesn't even have a B in that class.

After sixth, I went to the media center to explore the Walton computer network. I found some interesting things labeled "Grades" and "Gradessr," but unfortunately they were not what I was hoping for =(

Before the end of seventh, Paul Millard decided to enlighten everyone with his brilliant conversation. He asked for me to blow whatever's left of  his brains out and scatter them along the sidewalk for chickens to eat by calling McLeod ugly (which she's not) out of absolutely nowhere. He jumped in while I was telling someone else that she got an A in physics. Wtf? Does this kid know that she can completely beat the crap out of him?

If I'm not done by 11:30 tonight, I'm going to make myself go to bed anyways.

Yeah, right.

I declare the rest of November to be SET DAVID FREE MONTH.

From KT: "you should declare one day national SET DAVID FREE day where no one tries to use you and you get to whore everyone else."

I will use my whoring powers to whore everyone else this month. No whoring of me is allowed. Got it? Good.

What!? I'm going to kill someone. I got a letter from the DVMS saying that my license will be suspended on November 10th, and that I am ordered to surrender my license by that date. I also have official court papers stating that I was ordered to, and did, surrender my license on September 28. If I have to wait until May 10 instead of March 28 to get my license back, I am going to murder everyone associated with the DMVS.

I blame it all on Bush, as I do with everything else bad.

Hey Gene, you could still apply to Harvard regular decision. Maybe you'll get her for your interview =)

Ok, so yesterday on the way there, I was hoping that my interviewer lady would be some old lady so I wouldn't get distracted. I was also thinking this as I waited for her outside. Then she walked up to me and I thought, "Aw, crap."

The interview went something like this:

Her: "So David, tell me why you want to go to Harvard."
Me: "Damn you're fin-- your financial aid package, umm, it..."

Actually, I did slightly slip up once, but that was a result of the combination of my nervousness and bad English. I wasn't distracted at all.

The amount of respect that a freshman can have for a senior has just hit a new low. Read Bill's post on November 4. Also read the comments on that one, but please ignore the first half of Tiffany's.

I went to Chin Chin today. I didn't like it very much, and neither did my mom. I think that even House of Wong was better, except that it's kind of expensive there. The meeting place for the Chinese mafia is always cool, though, no matter how expensive it is. Now if only Chin Chin took over as the Chinese mafia headquarters... that would make it 100x more awesome.

This is why people are stupid. Here, Will is Will, who sometimes goes by the handle "ChInEsE" (-50,000 points for the Evanian capitalization).

Z3R088: chinese?
Will: whos this
Z3R088: kenzer
Will: oh, hey
Z3R088: you are chinese?
Will: uh, yea
Z3R088: your race is chinese?lol
Will: uh, yea
Z3R088: cool
Z3R088: where you from?
Will: china?
Z3R088: cool

Wow. This guy really sucks at life. What kind of name is "kenzer," anyways?

And this is why Eva = überbitch. I open an IM window, don't even get to type anything, and she gets off. This happens all the time. I think she can detect when I'm about to say something, and so disconnects just before my words materialize.

In other news, I converted my sister to Firefox. She figured out how to use it within 10 seconds of opening it. See, it's not just for geeks. If my seven-year-old sister can use it and you can't, then you're probably a top candidate for the Darwin Awards.

I also installed it on my mom's machine while she wasn't looking. I'm sure she'll appreciate it, though. She always gets loads of spyware out of the blue, no doubt because of IE's suckiness.

This is just one more reason that the existence of Microsoft should be banned: they allow malware writers to live. If Microsoft didn't exist, then 95% of viruses and other annoying stuff wouldn't exist. Thank you, Microsoft, for sucking.

And my interviewer was really hot.

I stayed awake all period in econ today. Hopefully, by Monday, he'll forget about his promise to kill me. That class is already fixed into my brain as naptime. It's not very easy to change the habit.

It's been a while since we've played frisbee. We need to organize a game sometime soon. I need to maintain my skill at not running into trees and falling into moats, or else when we play next semester, I will probably injure myself by running into various stationary objects. Actually, I think it would be fun to run into the football thing and impale myself on that metal rack. Well, not really.

I love cold weather because it's not hot, and I hate hot weather. Besides, there's that little chance of snow. But you know what I hate about winter? There is no watermelon...

Ok, I'm going to get to sleep. My mom's making me get up at 9:30 tomorrow so I can die.

Today in econ, Leaky Faucet put his head down. Williams got extremely angry. And by extremely angry, I mean ANGRY. He yelled at Leaky for the better part of five minutes and made him go either to PPO or guidance. PPO, to go home, or guidance, to drop the class and take a zero. He said he was sick and tired of him sleeping in class all the time.

Well, you can guess what I was thinking. I tried to avoid looking at him even though I was sitting two feet away from where he was standing. As the worst (well, maybe second to James) offender of the sleeping rule, I was wondering why I hadn't been kicked out. As I was wondering this, he told me, "David, you're next."

Whoops.

He then proceeded to accuse me of not "trying," "working," "learning the material," and a half-dozen other things. He needs to get his facts straight. I'm not the one who asks which >< is greater than and which is less than EVERY time I write it on the board. Besides, it's not my fault if you're insanely dry and boring.

I also don't like the implication that I am learning the material as effectively as Leaky Faucet. Ewwww. Does that kid even have a C in there?

Time for the daily Bill fun (keep in mind that he still thinks I like CiCi):

ChinkBoi101: so have u asked wat her name
ChinkBoi101: cici
ChinkBoi101: yea
ChinkBoi101: have u asked her out yet?
ChinkBoi101: dude
ChinkBoi101: have u?
icydog1: no
icydog1: i haven't
ChinkBoi101: how do u plan on going out with her
ChinkBoi101: if u don't ask her
icydog1: lol
icydog1: dunno
[...]
ChinkBoi101: anyways
ChinkBoi101: u should ask her out man
icydog1: ok
ChinkBoi101: alrite
ChinkBoi101: cici's on rite now
ChinkBoi101: ask her out
icydog1: nah
ChinkBoi101: lazy ass
icydog1: lol

At this point, I talk to CiCi:

icydog1: ok, i'm asking you out.. now say something really funny
PandaFace00: what the fuck are you thinking? i would never go out with you. your brain is bigger than mine- you know the rules. only brains smaller than mine and SAT scores less than 1500
PandaFace00: i have to feel superior to all my boyfriends

Now, back to Bill:

icydog1: =*(**
icydog1: [CiCi's stuff pasted here]
ChinkBoi101: ooo harsh
icydog1: yeah =(
icydog1: now look what you've done
ChinkBoi101: dude
ChinkBoi101: shes not saying anything
icydog1: lol
ChinkBoi101: good luck dude
icydog1: lol
icydog1: you should be sorry that you made me ask
ChinkBoi101: u should be thankful i made u ask
ChinkBoi101: now u kno how u can get her
ChinkBoi101: make urself dumber
ChinkBoi101: or make her seem smarter than u

He's going to read this yet still manage to not know what's going on.

Meanwhile, Mother was cooking food. She poured 2/3 of a bottle of beer into some meat and 豆腐干. The entire volume of the bowl of food was about equal to 1/2 that of the beer bottle (most of the liquid was probably boiled away or poured off). Somehow, she was surprised when I asked how much alcohol she dumped into my food.

I'm gonna go take a nap. I'm really sleepy.

I am so waking up before 10. If I instead wake up at 2 again, I won't get things done in time for school tomorrow.

I bow down to Pat, who has been able to do what I have never been able to do (completely own). Too bad he softened up later and removed the name =(

Georgia is so damn gay. That amendment is the lamest piece of legislation to ever exist, with the possible exception of the Patriot Act. Ugggghhhhhh even if they can't marry they should at least have the same economic rights and stuff.

By the way, "How would you like have a dick up your butt?" is not a valid argument, because I can support gay rights without being gay. I'm not gay. I hate you all.

I talked about politics, Harvard, and dumb people with my mom at the dinner table today. For once, she made fun of people who aren't me. I'd have to say that it was an enjoyable dinner.

I tried adding flaming gay and obnoxious floating hearts onto the pink pages but it wouldn't work on Firefox. People need to learn to write proper JavaScript so it will work when I steal it.

Sometimes, I feel that my hands have minds of their own. Or rather, one single mind that controls both my hands but is not controlled by me. I often think I'm typing something, but when I review what I've typed, it's something different. Like today, I thought I had written "I never talk to..." but when I read it, I noticed that it actually said "I don't ever talk to..."

Then there's all the times when I'm completely dyslexic. Like... "torrommor" instead of "tomorrow" might be something I'd write. Or "tencer" instead of "center." I'm useless.

It seems like my advertising for Firefox has had some effect. In October 2003, 89.0% of users used IE. This October, it was 62.1%. There goes Microsoft's deathgrip. Anyways, let me advertise some more. You should use Firefox because Firefox > all.

Bio lab! Fun!

Oh, and is it just me or does Camp get more and more rigged every day?

Rigged.

This time, it's five DAYS ahead.. not just a few hours.

9:32PM

LMAO!

I just read a Xanga and it made me laugh so hard. You know whose it is ;-)

No one's home for me to laugh to right now so I decided to laugh about it here.

hahahahahahhahhaah

By the way, don't you love vague references? But you're more than welcome to ask me if you don't get it.

ManOfAwesome: do u have a lot of hw this weekend
icydog1: today is monday, noob

Bush Owns.

Though I question the complete accuracy of this graph, it's probably not far from the truth. Therefore, if you vote Bush, I will come to your house and squeeze your brains out while playing Soda Pop. If you didn't know, this is the worst Britney Spears song ever... so bad that I listened to it once and couldn't hear anything for the rest of the day because my ears went on strike. (Now if I don't like a Britney song, imagine how much vomit you will produce upon hearing it.)

I hope you all like the pink =) I'm too lazy to write any new color schemes, so someone needs to volunteer for this. (Go Home and read the news if you're wondering what pink I'm talking about.)

I haven't complained about sluts enough recently. Don't worry, I still think that they should all perish. Unfortunately, sex = babies = more sluts, and Darwin likes babies and therefore he likes more sluts as well =(

7:33PM

OH! How could I forget? I was at Men's Wearhouse, and I was going to be fitted for a suit. So I stand on a platform and this old Chinese lady walks up to me. She looked a lot like Mrs. Greenberg. Anyways, she was friendly but kind of scared me. She kept rubbing my chest while trying to explain something to my mom, and later she kept pinching my cheeks. And not my face cheeks.

The most annoying thing, though, was that she kept pulling my pants up and telling me that I need to wear them really high. Well you know, high is ok, but when you pull my pants up hard enough to practically lift my feet off the ground, things begin to hurt. She kept doing that over and over and over and over. Ow.

I hope Gene is satisfied now. Back to SoS.
