In the Aether

crazyass storm

2008-11-06T12:59:00.002-05:00

oh yeah, last week we had the craziest weather ever. october 28, my mum and i walked outside to go to school (she was chaperoning a field trip i had that day) to find an inch of snow on the porsche.

'well that's weird.'

anywho, scraped it off and we were on our way.
partway through our tour, people started getting texts about school closing early. so we left our trip ahead of schedule and headed back. nearing home, people began exclaiming things along the lines of "holy shit!"

because the normal weather out the windows had turned white near us. when we got back to school everyone was being shepherded into the cafeteria because the buses couldn't get to school due to the roads. mum and jen and i made our bid for freedom. unfortunately, when we got to the porsche, there was an inch of water in the backseat (where i sat) and 2 inches of snow everywhere. anyway, we made it almost all the way to the top of the mountain, and got stuck about 200 feet down the road from the top. we sat there spinning our wheels while some traffic piled up. of course this was right down the road from the police station so it wasn't long before some cops showed up.

fucking cops.

they yelled at us a bit and then shoved us into a driveway, negating my efforts to push mum out and getting us stuck further.

nice going, jackasses.

anyway, we sat there for a while. i had some fun trying to push 2000 pounds of car uphill out of a driveway. except mum made me come inside every so often because i was getting frostbite in my fingers.

there were clumps of snow falling off the trees and i made ths mistake of thinking 'it would suck it one of those hit me.'

THUMP.

cooollddd.

anyway some people showed up and we finally got the car out. we came home a different way and when we got to our house, we found like 3 trees down. it was so post-apocalyptic.. all the trees everyhwere were bent out of shape, there were fallen ones everywhere, cars ditched on the side of the road... there are like 2 traffic lights in town, and they shut one of them off and blocked off the roads. fiona got driven home by a lineman when she drove the honda into a ditch and it turns out we had 6 lines down on our street alone.

so no power.

and becuase it was only october, we hadn't cut any firewood yet.

heh.

anyway, we burned what wood we could find lying around, then the next day, got some from our friends down the street. we didnt get power back for like 2 days, until thursday sometime. almost the entire town was without power, actually. it was pretty crazy.

and thus
the adventures of family andrews.

watch as we dont get any more snow this entire winter -_-

OBAMA

2008-11-06T12:57:00.000-05:00

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

this is so exciting! finally, after 8 years, we're on the right track again! :D :D :D :D

happy october?

2008-10-09T09:03:00.003-05:00

woo its october. Which is good because there are a lot of days off and whatnot. Like today. yaaayyy. and last tuesday or something, and a two hour delay yesterday. Things are good.
Anyway, recently i've just been digging up grass for the patio we're building (its almost done..)
and working on stripping out my car more. And practicing the french horn.

ooh yeah and i made county choir (sweet).

And through some plot twist JEN!!!!!!! (who has been agreed upon as so awesome that the only correct way to spell her name is with seven exclamation points and all caps) and i are going out. Whoa. spoiler alert!
i think i was supposed to say that before.
oops.

but thats cool because i'm pretty sure my life isn't a book...?
Anyway. Nothing too exciting going on, high school is same as it was two weeks ago, turns out i have an a average in all my classes (i think?), which is good. only A-s though, which sucks.
but its my day off and my life isn't interesting enough to write about so i'm going to go find something to do.

goodbye.

School, stuff

2008-09-23T19:58:00.003-05:00

haven't updated for a little while. High school is pretty fun. My only complaints are biology (both as a class and as existing), the ridiculous amounts of homework i get in history, and the general boringness of algebra. I have fallen asleep several times >.>

but i have to say high school is really great. the classes are much more fun and we have some pretty crazy times at lunch. They have included me getting locked in a locker, us getting suspicious comments from a teacher-watchman-lunch officer dude at lunch almost every day, my soda getting spilled almost every day, various crazy singing and dancing adventures (mainly matt and edwin, scary stuff), and the growth of last years lunch group into a huge bigass conglomerate which has become the EMO CORNER.
i still think thats an unflattering name but someone called us it and its stuck. we sit with like 50 billion people though. me, matts palumbo and milner, edwin, jessie, sonya, sabrina, shannon, missy, alyssa, jen, courtney, rob, emma, that new girl who I think is called hannah, jon whalen (ugh), marin and elena (friends of sonya) and vanessa and teresa and people i forget. Plus other people who occasionally sit with us.

i am thinking that with time, the lunch-consumption conglomerate may expand to the point where we suck tom, riley, and ryan into our midst when we expand that far down the hallway. then we can get karla and chris and (c/k)aties van valen and perry and mike
MUAHAHAHA

actually speaking of mikes, mike kopreski has withdrawn further from society and doesn't really hang out with us at all any more.

weird kid.

also sorry about the longness of this post, its just sort of a general update of everything thats been going on recently..

high school

2008-09-02T09:05:00.002-05:00

WHOA

school starts tomorrow.
my first day of high school! thats really weird. it feels like barely any time ago that i was going into middle school. Now i'm going into high school? is it going to be over as quickly? I kind of feel intimidated, just because from now on, everything counts. All my grades are important now and have to be perfect (to get into MIT). Before i know it, i'll be in college? :O thats weird

Anyway, for the last two weeks we were on cape cod (mashpee), with a friend of ours. Had a lot of fun, going to beaches and eating at fancy places and whatnot. Dad and i visited a car collection (the toad hall car collection, look it up) which was pretty cool as well.

and for the past few days i've just been hanging out, working on the car and stuff. i'm dismantling the dashboard at the moment.

but for now, i have summer assignments to get back to.

....just proofreading them, of course.

because being such a stellar student..
...i totally did not wait for the last two days of summer vacation to do all of them..
...in fact i finished them ages ago.

.....phew.

Dorney park

2008-08-13T15:43:00.002-05:00

yesterday ninjamatt (as opposed to palumbatron) and edwin and I went to dorney park. It was like the jazz band trip all over again. did i ever post about that trip? it was probably one of the most fun times in my life. our school jazz band performed at Kutztown university and then went to dorney as part of the 'music in the parks' program. aside from going wild on the rides, the judges also ranked us second out of every group there- concert bands, choirs, jazz bands, and all. we went home with two trophies/awards. it was really fun. then we had the entire bus ride back to mess around. katey, a girl a year below us who plays trumpet, was crawling around on the floor of the bus, sliding underneath people's seats and popping up to say hi. it looked so much fun that i tried it. then we were sticking our heads out the windows and whatnot.

It was so
much
fun.

matt and edwin and i had almost as much fun (still a great time) on the rides this time. we tried out one of those swing things where the seats swing outwards as the main hub spins around and you go flying through the air. we got in trouble for slingshoting off of each other and spinning around and whatnot.
and we almost crushed our own legs on talon when we tried riding it with said limbs crossed in a dignified manner. stupid G forces.

but it was a really really fun day. pity that summers coming to an end. but thats alright because it means that AUTUMN is coming!
and autumn is absolutely the best.

plus I leave to spend two weeks on cape cod tomorrow. fun fun fun :D

yay summer!

2008-08-09T23:32:00.002-05:00

today was really fun. for some reason I woke up at like 6 (about 6 hours earlier than usual). No matter. I got up and just worked on various projects. when my dad got back from his cycling we fired up the good old E-type and roared off to the New Hope automobile show (and I do mean 'roared'). Most of the cars there weren't to my taste but they had some very nice ones. a lotus elite was my favorite (love them) though an MGA was also looking pretty good (brilliant condition) as well as an exige and a fiat spyder. a lot of the cars were american classic cars which usually dont do much for me. I like most of the corvettes though. although I like our E-type better than anything they had there. (although some of the old racing cars were pretty awesome too).

half the fun was driving in the E-type. What a car! everything about it is absolutely amazing. we got up to over 100 today, and whoa, what an experience. the engine, the wind, the exhilaration-
awesome.

we did some work on my triumph as well (did I mention that my dad bought me a 1970 triumph GT6 plus to restore? i dont remember. well he did). we took the doors off and I started stripping more foam from the interior. I love that car. everyone teases me because its rusty and it doesn't run but it just feels special. I dunno. I guess i'm just a car guy =]

then edwin and danny came over. after they had some fun making fun of said car (so does it have brakes? or do you just stick your feet through the floor?), we went out skating/cycling. edwin and danny both longboard so they did that. I, being unable to longboard and not allowed to luge, used my road bike. I went almost all the way down william way today and man that is seriously fast. it was getting dark and my eyes were tearing from the wind but i think i hit about 40-ish. my front wheel started wobbling (not trued I dont think) and i almost didnt make the last corner but wow.. it was so much fun! i want to try and do it again tomorrow if i can :D

Stuff?

2008-08-08T13:32:00.003-05:00

well nothing that exciting has been happening around here. I've been hanging out with edwin a fair amount, filming for the skate vid I/we are making (not of me because i suck at skating).
hung out there with palumbo and danny for obama day (august 5th)- its a holiday I invented to explain why i should buy edwin longboard wheels. i'm not sure why because that certainly doesn't help me. Oh well.

I have decided that i want to try street luge- it looks like so much fun. my parents think i'm going to get run over (rural areas like this are obviously notorious for horrible pedestrian accidents...?).

Oh well. I've just been hanging out recently. nothing much going on. summer's drawing to a close already! crazy. although i'm looking forward to high school.

layout

2008-08-04T15:42:00.002-05:00

well I've started work on a new layout. I kind of like it so far. the picture is of three P-40 warhawks, i found the original picture online and extended it upward by adding the sky and cirrus clouds from other pictures and changing color and contrast to match. a few things need aligning but overall its nice.

I thought 'in the aether' was a pretty decent name. in greek mythology, "aether" is the pure upper air that the gods supposedly breathe.
which means the title probably sounds arrogant and conceited. its not meant to, i promise. i just thought it had a certain ring and was fairly appropriate because you know, flying and all.

Eighth grade

2008-06-18T18:28:00.000-05:00

Bloody hell. Tomorrow is my last day of eighth grade. How crazy is that?

the month in two sentences.

2008-04-20T09:38:00.002-05:00

Everything that happened during the last four weeks can be summed up in these two sentences, namely because two things happened in the aforementioned unit of time. Firstly, i'm in england, and have been for the past nine days, and secondly, I broke my arm.

But two sentences is a bit short, you see? and, in the off chance you haven't realised, i like to blather on and rant a bit, really.
So. the arm. I was out cycling. See, i discovered this great place called 'outside'. it's kinda big.

anywho, i was out cycling. I've decided i rather enjoy it, now that i've come slightly (slightly) more into the traditional thrill-seeking role of my dad and sister. Cycling isn't very thrilling, really, but the hills are fun in a tremendous way. Namely because you get to go quickly. Not sure how quickly, really, except one time when i was going about 30-somewhat miles per hour, according to my dad, who i overtook. I have a speedo i need to hook up to my bike.
anyway, story.

i was out cycling, trying to get my feet into the toe clips on my dad's bike. You see, a few days before, I had gone out cycling on an route i hadn't traveled before. Long story short, the road, aside from being nearly all uphill, turned into gravel, and i rode into the drive with a flat tyre. So, whle that was being remedied, i rode by dad's old bike, whose toeclips are the old-fashioned variety (leather straps) and were crusty and, well, old. So, i couldn't get my foot in.
"Oh gosh, this silly contraption. I do wonder why it isnt' working," I thought to myself. So I looked down. A shout from my father caused me to look up again.
"Silly me, i appear to be riding towards a ditch on the edge of the road. Gosh, how careless," i further thought (or words to that general effect). Long story short, i flew over the handlebars of the bike (which landed on my back), falling on my arm. It hurt.
"Dad, is this bend supposed to be in my arm?" I asked.
i was assured that it was. Anyway, my dad fetched our awfully american pickup and drove me and the bike home. i lay on the couch for a while.
Next day, i discovered that moving my wrist, or touching it, or moving my fingers, resulted in excruciating pain. A sprain, everyone assumed. splinted it was and we got on with it. Friday, however, we went to the hospital to have my arm irradiated and our bank accounts drained severely. Turns out that my radius is fractured. I had surgery a week after i broke it to bend it the 15 or so degrees it was off back. now i have a lump of fiberglass to halfway up my upper arm, and it itches like heck. You wouldn't believe how many people signed the darned thing- it must be a few pounds heavier from all the ink. Anyway, part two.

England. Got here saturday, going back to the states tommorrow. it's been great, absolutely top-notch. Stayed with my dad's college friend Phillip for a while. He's a pilot, former editor of some magazine or other.Went to the RAF museum at Hendon on sunday, then we went to the Imperial War Museum at Duxford on Monday. we went from there to another college friend's house, Michael, now an author, steampunk maniac (built his own functioning models of a steamboat and train). He lives in the country somewhere, and its fantastically empty out there. I mean, i know we live in a somewhat rural town, but this was crazy. All around his house was black earth, stretching almost to the horizon. His driveway was like some sort of rally stage. Anyway, next day we went to my grandparents, who live in a 400+ year old cottage in sussex. We went to Ely and Cambridge first, and at the latter, i discovered arguably the best food ever. Pasties.

Ahhh. good stuff.
Anyway, wednesday we went out for dinner and went to bodiam castle, thursday we went to tangmere and chichester, where my dad went to school. Then on friday, we caught a train to london and saw the science museum (great place) and other more touristy things. yesterday and today have been hanging around with my grandparents.

And that, dear readers, is the last four weeks.

Tommorrow i go back home to enjoy spring holidays :)

layout

2008-03-21T15:52:00.003-05:00

well, my blog is marching itself down the road to destruction by slowly deleting itself. all my widgetses are dissappearing, so I"m going to make a new theme, just start from scratch. I'm not sure what, maybe something world war two-ish...

Regions endingness

2008-03-21T13:19:00.003-05:00

well then. Regions are officially over. Choir isn't such a big loss-the rehearsals dragged on for ages, which kinda sucked after having a day of school. Orchestra was genuinely fun though, despite not knowing anyone. Anyway, we have a three day weekend, for good friday or something-whatever that is (atheist speaking). I feel like doing something outside, but idk what, so right now I'm just making an multipurpose electrolysis rig which i ought to be able to use for electrolytic etching and electroplating as well. all these amazing "electro-" things. Anyway. My life is a whole lot less hectic now that regions is over and done with... its kinda odd. Anyway, i dont have any plans for this weekend, i might see a movie, hopefully i'll go flying.. i did last weekend.

more when something interesting happens.

Here lies the totality of existence

2008-03-01T22:44:00.001-05:00

check full post below, if you're bored or something...

but i just noticed my blog is falling apart. the entire sidebar is now gone.. i'll have to check that out, i guess

February

2008-03-01T22:34:00.003-05:00

Yeah, alright, so I havent published in about a month. Turns out they needed another french horn player for regions orchestra. Yessss, in by default. The irksome thing is that I'm only fourth chair, as that was the empty part. I think i'd have done better if i could've auditioned. I mean.. come on. Anything is better than 97 meaures of rest. Consecutively.

Twice.

Because, thanks to our good friend Schubert, I have to count a total of three hundred and... i believe six measures of rest, in one two-page piece. AGH. Actually though, the orchestra thing is really fun. it sounds awesome, and despite the crappy part, is really brilliant to be a part of.
Also this week was my first regions chorus rehearsal, which was even more fun, because i wasn't some loser who didnt know anyone- i was some loser with accompanying friends. The choir sounds really cool too, but the bass part is, surprisingly, really low. Like, really, REALLY low. As in 'goes down to an E-flat two octaves below middle C which only 15 or so guys can sing anyway'.
Whoa. especially hard since i can't sing lower than an A. Ah well, its also really fun.

A few weeks ago, i also managed to crash my model plane (PZ T-28 Trojan). Punched it in at full throttle, slightly upside down. The amazing part is that it suffered almost no damage. The wing ripped from its mounting and the cowl, motor mount, and firewall cracked. the airframe itself is unharmed. I find that incredible. Hopefully she'll be fixed up soon.

I also got a phone. A razr V3m. I know everyone says they suck, but they look so cool, and to be honest, i dont see anything wrong with it, at least not at the moment. It works brilliantly, and being me, in all my geeky mentality, I've already made a pair of ringtones (Horn Concerto No.4 theme and Kyrie Eleison, requiem- Mozart, mozart >.>) and changed the startup/shutdown animation. Thought i might try skinning the interface too. Still, i love my mentality. I've had this thing since thursday and I already want to take it apart and re-anodize the case and change the keypad. Heh.

Anyway, really sorry for that ramble there. Just wanted to get up to speed on the last month. Plus, i kind of like writing this out. It's fun, even if nobody cares, right? you know? no. you probably dont, because I guess you don't exist. Unless you're edwin. but then.. well yeah. you still dont exist.

god, i sound like some emo teenager, don't i?

anyway, happy march!
it snowed last night :D but it mostly melted already D:

Regions

2008-02-08T23:19:00.000-05:00

Well, last saturday marked my second annual regions attempt. While i was at it, i decided, I might as well be ambitious and audition for both band and chorus. I had the first audition slot for chorus (auditioned as a bass), and that went well. Recently, I have to say, I haven't had any inhibitions about singing in front of people... odd, because i always used to. Anyway, then I was off to band. They called a school bus just for me.
Specialness.

A few hours of waiting around, and it was time for me to have my audition on the horn. I went after edwin. Sadly, edwin screwed up... I kept wincing/cringing whenever you did, mate... that was totally me last year.

But no more! i totally aced my audition, played everything perfectly (almost)

- and didnt get in. I was only 20 or 30 points off though, which is actually kind of good... I had a 122, edwin had a 61, and the person right above us, who got in, had like a 1...50? i think.

Anyway, all good fun, luckily, I made choir, which I'm kinda thrilled about. PLus, Mrs postigo mentioned re-forming the guys' choir..

update- crap, i feel dizzy. I've spent the last 3 nights until about 12.30 working on this damn science project. i'll explain at a time when i dont feel ready to faint.

sorry, drop unconscious. real men dont faint :P

goodnight then.

oops.

2008-01-21T13:00:00.000-05:00

as a side note, my entire blog format is remarkable screwed up.

as in, the entire sidebar dissappeared.

ah well, its not that bad.. i kinda like it.

on the plus side, no school! i love martin luther king jr.

one missed call

2008-01-19T17:54:00.000-05:00

I dont even know where to begin.

Ah. Well, maybe with the mention of me going to see the above disgrace to humanity. Saw it last night with Josh, Matt, Edwin, jessie, and Sonya.
For anyone who is planning on seeing this, or has, or ever will, and evn those who haven't, or ever will, let me point out the fact that in this 1 hour and 27 minutes of utter rubbish, there are four good moments.
1) there is a magic kitty in the beginning. It really makes you wonder how they could go wrong, starting with something this kickass, but, they did. And then some (some meaning a lot).
2) some guy slamming his face into a steel door. Yes. in an effort to inspire terror, whoever created this crappy movie decided to have a steel door come under attack. By whom? we dont know. One of the many parts of this movie that was never explained. Evidently not content to have people punching the door (and miraculously dent it whilst remaining unharmed), the producers decided to have someone slam their ENTIRE FACE into the door (and miraculously dent it whilst remaining unharmed). Yes. Sheer cinematic brilliance.
3) the official transformation of 'the girl' into pimpage mode. I'd warn you about spoilers before I tell you that the older daughter is really, somehow, going through cellphone calls and killing everyone, not the mother, but that would imply that there are people who actually WANT to see this movie. Anyway, said older daughter becomes one of the biggest pimps in movie history when she not only pulls on the hood of her black hoodie, but PULLS OUT A FUCKING SHORTSWORD from NOWHERE. Yes, in addition to being able to call cellphones that lack batteries without knowing the numbers, said girl can pull swords from nowhere.
4) Said pimp girl imploding windows in home. Yes, the official pimp now decides to show up at the protagonist's house in duly spectacular fashion- by killing some cop dude and making all the windows explode. This girl has skills (if only our school play had had more of this major-league action). of course, the moviemakers totally screw up the awesomeness of this movie by having said girl's mother appear out of nowhere and strangle her own daughter into nothingness. Said nothingness is absorbed by a cellphone.

And, to my best guess, we are back at the beginning.
Just- no.
And of course, the best character of the entire movie has a five second-debut and is never seen again, nor explained. The best character of the movie is also probably less than two years old.
You have to wonder what went on at whatever meeting was responsible for this.
"Alright everyone! We've got some pointless shit that doesn't add to the story(which sucks) and is never explained, we've repeatedly defied both the laws of physics and rationality, but I think we need something more. I mean, sure, having giant centipedes the bedroom of a pair of pre-adolescent sisters was pretty good, so was having a pair of dolls suddenly appear for no reason as full-size humans. And making people randomly hallucinate, giving the girl innate knowledge of random people's cell numbers... all good stuff! but I think we need something more."
"how about.. a baby?"
"a baby."
".... It's a posessed baby."
"....."
"it has laser eyes!"
"SOLD!"

And so enters the best character of the entire movie, unexplained, for a whopping several seconds.

do you know what I could have done with that one hour , 26 minutes, and 55 seconds?

Something else.

Christmas!

2007-12-27T10:28:00.000-05:00

Happy Christmas people! I had a pretty great holiday this year, we were at my uncle's house till christmas eve, then returned here with my grandparents... so I got to see all of my british family :D

Loads of great things this year.. a book on maths, a puzzle-y thingy, a badminton net, and 633 squadron and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines on DVD. My sister gave my this awesome wobble-clock from Brookstone.. called Bob. I renamed him gustav.

Best presents came from my parents, though.. I got a brand new Parkzone T-28 Trojan, AND REPLICRAFT PLANS FOR THE SOPWITH 1 1/2 STRUTTER!!

hehe. This means that the long road to the flying replica is finally being constructed!

I wish I could say i've started down this metaphorical path, but, according to Dad, we have to finish the basement before we build an aeroplane hangar in the backyard ):

Luckily though, I got to fly my shiny* new plane on Boxing Day.

It was reaallllly fun, check out this mini-video I made if you're interested..

*note: plane is not actually shiny, being constructed of polystyrene foam.

anyway, enough me blathering on here.. happy holidays!

SNOWDAY!!!

2007-12-13T08:41:00.000-05:00

Yes, I do indeed have a snowday.
Why exactly I do has not made itself readily apparent... because there's no snow.. anywhere.

but still, it means i have a day to finish homework, like that research paper which i thought was due today. It sucks because it wasn't, and i spent hours writing it- its due tommorrow -.-

anyway, enough blather, i'm off to bask in the relative glory of not having to go to school

The Ultimate Plan

2007-11-23T21:25:00.000-05:00

Behold, the Ultimate Plan.

but aha, you dont know what the ultimate plan IS, do you?

well, the ultimate plan details my scheme to replicate a fly-

I'm going to build a plane. Specifically a world war one replica. I"m not sure, but I'm leaning towards a Sopwith Strutter..

However, that has a radial engine.... For those of you who dont know what a rotary engine is, which I'm assuming is everyone... a rotary engine is where you have all the cylinders arranged around a point...so it has a sort of radial configuration. It also means that instead of a shaft rotating, the entire casing, i.e. the heaviest part of the engine rotates..
Which might affect plane handling...not sure as its fairly large..
Also, it burns castor oil which has the irritating side effect of causing medical problems...namely cancer, I think.
So It'd end up being replaced with a radial engine...which is the same except it burns gas and the shaft rotates instead of the engine.
But that would cost a lot.

However, it has two seats...and I would want to be able to take people flying :)

If that isn't possible, the other two choices are the S.E.5a and the SPAD XIII.

I'm leaning towards the se5a because it looks cooler.
Not because it's british.
At all.

and the SPAD is french...it's alright..... i guess >.>

Anyway..I'll be reasearching this a lot before I decide and start building with my friend Riley. Wish me luck ^^

EPIC

2007-11-20T20:10:00.000-05:00

Behold, my new universal profile pictureness.
Ah, it is most epic.

Muahahaha. just photoshopped a picture i took....and it's not like i have too much free time...its more like it was either procrastinate or do homework >.>

Not a hard choice.
But anyway...not much has been happening really..we got some snow yesterday...^^
I remember i got into some sort of argument with someone today...but thats normal..

but, just another example of how mundane life is right now...especialyl in the aftermath of the bomb threat,..hehe....fun.anyway... behold the epicness XD:
yeah...anyway... I'm supposed to do like.. a works cited or something for osmething thats due sometime.

i better go do that then... ;(

Threateninged

2007-11-19T16:36:00.000-05:00

Hmm...well I've almost finished the layout. not that I've been working on it. And in my defense, i've meant to make a post for a while. Meh.

Anyway..a bit of excitement, last monday ( i think) there was a bomb threat at our school. AWESOME!
all that annoyed me was that it was the period after language arts that I had to miss for evacuation..not language arts of course >.<

before that, some kid threatened to bring a gun in. I've always wondered how all these little things cause so much hype...yet edwin and i threaten to kill each other on a daily basis. Hmm.

Anyway, i've been working on a model SE5a (ww1 biplane) recently... and this whole 3 day school week is all half days for conferences, hehe.

Anyway..enough of my boring life.
oh wait, also, i'm planning on building a replica ww1 plane and starting a small company.

Now, enough of my boring life.

Something interesting...

...
...
...

...
...

yeah.

2007-10-24T23:02:00.001-05:00

Yeah, OK, so I haven't made a post in forever. So sue me.*

Anyway, Im just posting to say i hate my language arts teacher. Tommorrow i need to hand in two essays, three in depth worksheets, and some other crap I forgot about.

i mean, its not just the homework, she's also evil. She refuses to let people talk during free period ( I got into a big argument with her about this)...agh.

as edwin or I would say

WHAT THE DOOR IS WRONG WITH THAT FLUFFY BUNNY??!?

or something.

in other news, i have yet to finish editing the blog stuff...

yeah.

Hail to the King

2007-09-20T23:08:00.000-05:00

as of two days ago (I'd say yesterday but whoa! it's past 12) I am the Marshmallow King.

"WTFH?!?!/!one" you might ask.

well: in science we're 'reviewing' SI, so there was this jar of marshmallows, of which we had to guess the mass.

i was six grams off. As a prize, i got a bag of marshmallows. Edible popularity!

My bus was really hyper that day.

anyway. It's 12:10 A.M., and i JUST finished homework. The take home quiz, double sided collage with captions, and essay.

i still need to find two current events, a political cartoon, and answer questions about the executive branch of government...but those aren't due tommorrow.

ow, my eyes hurt.

sleeeep...

edit: no time to work on construction...homework all day long 0.0
hopefully i can tweak this soon :)

Construction..

2007-09-18T20:14:00.000-05:00

well, my dad got his pilot's license today.
which means i get to go flying with him, he he he.

anyhow, you can probably see that i've started the update.

however, blogger templates refuse to cooperate so these posts'll be hard to read until i can make a background for them...so yeah.

Attention! beepy flashy thing

2007-09-17T21:10:00.000-05:00

Just a note, i'll be updating this thing. i've decided that however kickass the fire effect is, it's old and hard to read.

prepare yourselves for..the...VINTAGE-NESS effect! bwhahahaha

Ponderings...

2007-09-17T20:54:00.000-05:00

And so begin nine months of hell.

Mind you, as eighth graders, I guess we get a lot of special priveliges.

Like scaring the crap out of random little 6th graders that are like 3 feet tall.
heh heh heh...

oh yeah.

Well right now i'm trying to figure out what kind of homework we have. Most teachers right now would ask "but aha, why didn't you write it down in your agenda?"

Well screw that, my agenda has more important things to be scribbled in it.

actually, come to think of it, this may be a chief reason why I'm usually completely clueless.

Like today: "hey edwin, i made you some sweet campaign posters".

"uhh...the election's tommorrow."

*cursing*

yeaah.

but come on that sketch is way cooler than some scribbled note i cant even read.

p.s. i got eleven out of 10 on my math essay...score! suck it euclid!

Damn you, Euclid!

2007-09-09T17:10:00.000-05:00

woah! Looks like I haven't made a post coming up on a month.

fine, three weeks.

pfft.

anyhow, i'm not sure, I was busy doing random stuff over the end of summer. Because school started a little while ago. yeah. so far none of my teachers seem manic or anything, which is a good sign. Right now, I'm supposed to be writing some bloody essay for Math.

And that, my friends, is why I hate Euclid.

No, I don't think thats it. I despise Euclid. I mean sure, his work in elements may have become the single most reproduced textbook of all time and may rank second in edition count to only the bible, but come on!

its so dull! i honestly haven't been able to even read more than one of these translated pages before needing a break:

In obtuse-angled triangles the square on the side opposite the obtuse angle is greater than the sum of the squares on the sides containing the obtuse angle by twice the rectangle contained by one of the sides about the obtuse angle, namely that on which the perpendicular falls, and the straight line cut off outside by the perpendicular towards the obtuse angle.

Because, you know, I totally care about that.

anyway, I managed to write a nice long and pointless intro, now I need to figure out what i'll actually write.

which means i should stop procrastinating.

agh.

2007-08-15T23:23:00.000-05:00

well, I'm not sure when I last posted. I mean sure, the dashboard tells me it was august 11, but what's that in terms of events?

No idea. Anyway, today me/mum met my dad for lunch, we went to a pretty sweet indian buffet. Then I made this pretty sweet video. 160 or so pictures all taken individually and strung together as frames.

Yeah. Anyway. Supposedly I'm getting a haircut tommorrow. Woooohoo.

yeah..

so recently, I designed, built, flew, and crashed a model glider. nothing complex, just an experiment really. I also managed to set fire to the wing of a model plane trying to solder near it, lost 5 three foot sheets of balsa wood, and designed a few more planes.

yeah, just another 5 days.

anyway, I'm going to get some OJ and go to bed. Night.

family-age

2007-08-11T22:30:00.000-05:00

well, it's saturday. in about half an hour, it will be sunday. wooohoo.

anyway, not much is up here...I started and finished that plane I mentioned, a grumman avenger. it flies really well, and I have to say i am thrilled with it. I've also started building a glider model of the "ohka" japanese kamikaze bomb of world war two. it's my own design :D

anyhow, it so happens that my aunt, uncle, and 1 year old cousin arrived today. Mia seemed pretty interested in my plane, heh heh heh. anyway, they're all asleep right about now, and maybe I will follow suit. which reminds me, i've been demoted to the playroom so she can have my room. Psh. at least I'm by the computer, heh.

anyway, i have things to do.

well, maybe not, but it sounds better than "right, well, i'm off to do nothing in particular except find something to pass the time."

or does it? yeah. so.bye.

Alleluijah

2007-08-06T22:17:00.000-05:00

Yeah, well, i finished this model plane today.
It flew pretty well, I like it. I'm going to start another one tommorrow, probably. Anyway, not much has been happening. I re-read the harry potter books again, and I stick to my conclusion that they totally rock. It's weird though, that there won't be any more. =(

ah well. I'm going to see the 5th film again with my family, because my dad never saw it. :D

anyway. there was some huge fuss cause my grandma wanted some little Buddha figure my sister had, and she ended up leaving today with some form of sworn enmity against us. Hell, I'm not complaining, we all hated having her around anyway. She's gone!

*Handel's 'messiah'*

anyway, I'm off.

*skips away*

wait, that sounds retarded.
uh...

*walks away with abnormal, albeit hard to notice spring in step*

yeaahh, that's it.

I see theme from joseph's techicolor dreamcoat....

2007-08-05T01:58:00.000-05:00

Well, it's officially approximately almost three in the morning. techically it's 259 but-

nvm it's 3.

anyway, edwin's over here reading over my shoulder (what an idiot) and waving and passing out...

trying to shoot me with a joystick...

yeah, I somehow doubt he's used to being up at 3 in the morning

well screw him then. I guess the caffeine in all that coke helped.
HEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

anyway, he came over for no real reason, but we've been watching-

shutup, you came over for no real reason if i said so, dammit.

anyway, we've just been playing around on the computer and eating MUFFINS!!! YEAH!

anyway, i really don't have anything of value to say, but i feel obligated to post after edwin did.

stupid edwin.

grrrr.

Mishaps >.<

2007-07-27T23:30:00.001-05:00

GRRRR. Well, I managed to spend a good portion of the last working on this wind-turbine experiment thingy. Basically I made a small wind turbine from some household stuff. I put it outside today, and in the last...6? hours, I have noticed exactly ZERO movement.
And it was windy. The largest thunderstorm of the summer/year chose tonight to strike. And my room (mounted it outside) was on the rain-drenched side. Figures!

Anyway, not much is up...summer, chilling out. Went to see the simpsons movie, was awesome. Also read the last harry potter book, which was amazing...not sure where i left off last time. Anyway, I"m about to turn in, so have a look at my mini-turbine thingy. If it ever works, I'll make an instructable on it.

Flying :D

2007-07-22T15:56:00.000-05:00

He he he... I flew a plane yesterday!

In real life!!

He he he.....

right. I suppose I should mention that the only reason I was even in massachusetts to fly the thing in the first place is cause it was my baby cousin's first birthday, but I really dont care much about that. Flying/Reading harry potter again was much more interesting than her... pfft.

Anyway, the plane is a 1930s/40s stearman biplane, one of my dad's diamond suppliers flies it, and he took me up in it. I got to fly too, and apparently I'm pretty good. The fire officials and FAA administrators agreed. They were smiling a lot.

heh heh heh :P

anyway, it was pretty insane, here are a few pics from A: a random stranger and B: my dad's phone.

yeah. The stearman was used as a trainer for air force cadets during world war two. I was surprised how few gauges it had, only temperature, altitude, speed, compass, time, plus some other stuff...

That's me in the front, obviously, Got to wear a totally sweet intercom ww2 style helmet :D

So yeah. Pretty routine flight, we stayed around 3000 feet, and we did a wingover and some stalls. Wingover, for anyone who DOESNT know, is when you pull up vertically, turn the plane in half a circle, and dive down again. It's pretty fun, just sorta shocking when, without warning, you suddenly find yourself weighing twice as much as normal and your head being sucked downwards by 2 Gs. ...And then being shoved up at less than 0 Gs...

still fun.

Anyway, I got bored of air and space magazine, so I read the fifth harry potter book on the way up and down from massachusetts. Dont get me wrong, I love it, but it seems the most forgettable one. I've read it before, but I couldn't remember for the life of me what happened when we went to see the movie. And now, I've forgotten almost all that happened in the movie...!

pffft.
ahh well, i'm hoping my sister will finish the deathly hallows soon, so I can finish it.

he he he..

two freaking o'clock

2007-07-18T00:54:00.000-05:00

right! it turns out that i can't get to sleep. I cant be too sure why, but its probably just because my mind is brimming with plans for all sorts of things... I'm really not sure why I think of interesting things almost exclusively in the dead of night, and I really wish I didn't. Because it ends up keeping me awake and i forget 90% of it the next day. Pfft.

waste of my bloody time if you ask me.

but you probably wouldn't ask me.

*sob*

so anyway...I'm just typing random crap now because its more interesting than thinking of the same blasted ideas that have been circulating within my head for eons...

running an engine on electrolysis..
building a jet turbine...
breathing underwater through electrolysis...
making a hovercraft...
creating a wind turbine
building a holographic projector using curved mirrors...
bringing about erika vette's ultimate downfall-

oh, right. hah, i forgot about that one for a while... heh heh heh..

Luckily I planned out most of these.....some may be...a little tricky in execution..

heh....

but I'm pretty sure they'd all work out.

:D

in fact, I may just build that wind turbine this week! just you see if I dont..!

so yeah. please feel free to stop reading this any time soon..

normally I try to cut my posts short (recently...my older december-ish posts are like mini novels and total crap)....but it's 2 something in the morning, so SCREW THAT!

not much happened today, i'm pretty sure i made a post earlier...cant remember. Edwin and I hung out at Jessie's pool today......

you know, i find it surprising that like 3 years later she still hasn't given me back thatbook I lent her.

so I went and rummaged around in her room...
"unorthodox", you say?
"pfffft. screw you", says I!

I didn't see it anyway...
nothing interesting..........
loads of books, a computer, random crap, shirts, computer, jeans, generic clothing, bras, socks, computer....all manner of totally USELESS paraphernalia.....walls, carpet...

the usual teenage girl stuff, i guess? idk...

rather surprising that she went on a three week vacation...yet her closet is filled with clothes......

hmmm

hey look, it's me! rambling on about random crap. well.....

yeaaaaahhh...

so i worked on my pacific fighters movie, and instead of finding some actually SUITABLE music, I decided Mozart's horn concerto might be a good background. it looks great :D planes flying around, gunfire, radio chatter....and classical melodies on top. aahhh....

so yeah.

I was planning on working on that more, but then I got talking with one of edwin's nerd camp friends from California. well, i'm assuming California, but I guess she could be anywhere on the west coast. not important. very interesting conversation, pretty weird tho, because we both kept thinking the same things....

ahh!!!!

*twilight zone music*

so yeah......
i guess i'll just surf the internet for a while..

i've bored you all long enough.

i'll leave you all with a famous quote.

well, that's what I would say if I had something of value to close meaningfully, and if i could remember a meaningful quote that fit the circumstances.

pretty big 'if'.

......

2007-07-17T20:48:00.000-05:00

Hi.

This is a post.

On my blog.

Anywho, edwin got back a little while ago from his alleged nerd camp thing...

*mirthless cheer*

woooohooo.

greeaat..

oh right.
hi edwin..

best friend..!!

anyway.

In case you hadn't noticed, or you were some kind of southern hemisphere freak....heh heh heh....it's summer!! still!

pfft..

stupid hot weather..

aaaanyhow. I spent like half an hour this morning hacking apart a bicycle. Dont worry! it wasnt an old decrepid one...it was pretty good...very good, the bearings were all in good condition, and no rust on the chain or anything..

of course, it also lacked wheels.

so it's ok! I needed the front portions of two bikes for the back portion of my gravity car thing.....so yeah. I am still hacking apart the second bike...almost done with that. Then I plan to bolt them together. Provided the car functions, I am seriously considering strapping several model rocket engines to the back and seeing what happens. Nothing, probably, unless I ignite them. which...is the general idea. that'd be soooo sweeeeeeeet.

my airbrush, unfortunately, stopped working..so I couldn't paint the model plane I was building. Which is OK, because all my paint jars are either stuck closed or in fragments after I tried opening them with pliers/vice. heh.

and my fokker EV is doing OK, but I need to do a lot of sanding on the wing, which I hate doing, so i'm not working on that. if I find wood, I hope to work on that staircase ramp thing..so yeah.

I'm also working on a movie in Pacific Fighters (awesome flight sim!)...

but atm I'm talking to one of edwin's CTY friends, "Elly".......who sort of reminds me of "sonya" from school except for the fact that she seems paranoid.....

which makes this alleged conversation....'interesting'.

heh heh heh.

also, check this vid, freaking hysterical!

Stunt vid

2007-07-02T13:45:00.000-05:00

I forgot to mention this totally AWESOME stunt vid that edwin and I made, a little while ago...find the alleged 'blooper reel' (a random series of explosions) and some other less impressive vids at

http://youtube.com/profile?user=g3offrito

heh.

Summer....

2007-07-02T00:53:00.000-05:00

Holy crap...its been ages since i've posted. at least thats how it seems. A lot's happened, I guess. Anyhow, school is OUT!!!

As of like the 19th...I meant to make a post but i had 2 days b4 we went to the cape. so yeah....that tuesday my sister had a huge party, then i had the usual crew over and we Chilled. yeah, 'cause we're cool like that.

aaanyhow....went to Cape Cod on Thursday....got back today.... crazy stuff!!!

I had some good times flying our stunt kite. the people I attacked with it may not have had as much fun... But then i guess my mum didn't expect me to take her up on her offer when she said "try to knock sandy's hat off!"

Damn, i was so close that time...

anyhow... I may/may not upload pics, because the bloggage appeal has worn off. I'm losing interest in my blog, i have to admit....but I hate to leave things unfinished, so I will try to post every so often.

anyway, my grandparents get here in 2 days...but i have some things i wanna do over the summer. check my stuff blog to see some of my wild project ideas....note: that blog, I probably will be updating...just FYI.

anyway, I can't think of anything else that seems writable...its 2 am so I might call it a night.

morning...

inter-day period...

something like that.

anyway, happy everyone

PwNaGe flyin'

2007-06-16T16:07:00.001-05:00

seem to be having some technical difficulties with my blog....i think an image for deleted from imageshack, but whatever!!!

I recorded this video today, edwin took that one picture at the end....enjoy!

world war 2 pwnage

2007-06-12T16:58:00.000-05:00

O.o
no post for a while.

which is weird.

anywho, I took the SAT last weekend...boring stuff. the real excitement was A: going to see Pirates of the Carribean 3 and more importantly B: going to World War Two weekend at Reading Airport in PA.

TWAS AWESOME!!

sooo sweet. I got to ride in Yankee Lady, a restored authentic B-17G flying fortress. Also got to walk around a Douglass Dc3 airliner....plus there were tons of awesome planes...hawker hurricane, yakolev 9, severl b-25 mitchells, two p-40 warhawks, a p-51 mustang, a pby catalina...some c-47s...

and every one of them flew!!

I videoed pretty much the entire thing, and I got so far as to import the vide onto this ubercomputer... i'll edit it sometime..he he he.

also, I applied for membership with the 36th infantry division, an online bf1942 clan. they were a bit wary of accepting me cause the day I applied i had gotten into a huge quarrel with some ppl on the server...psh nubs.

anyway, i need to finish some homeworks...so goodbye....happy generic awesomeness.

oor...something.

ps: SCHOOLS ALMOST OUT!! HA!! WHAT NOW!!!!?

no, really..
what now??? WHAT? WHAAAT???

asdfghjkl;'

2007-05-27T16:27:00.000-05:00

sorry about that title, edwin didn't think that i actually would.

hah, i showed him.

so yea, I'm posting from edwin's house....we played some Halo, and this generic lightsaber game i gave him for his birthday. I beat him by smashing the controller with my fist...heh.

good times!

so then we started shooting hershey kisses (cool copyright logo thing goes here) with this slingshot thing he brought be from china. that was pretty l33t. then we had the brilliant idea of trying to mold them into stuff. being me, i think i'll just say that was my idea even tho it wasn't.

so yea, i had this GREAT and INGENIOUS idea that I could totally...

o right.l

so edwin and i started making little molds out of AluMINIUM-
that's right
ALUMINIUM!!

SUCK IT, SPELLCHECK!! BRITISH SPELLING OWNS U!!

anyway, we made some molds out of aluminium foil of little lego bricks..for lack of anything better. I made a lego man, a lego brick, and a coin, which you'll notice is missing from the photo.

see, i find it hard to photograph the inside of my stomach, so i wont b able to show you that one.

edwin made 2 lego bricks and a coin....

u can look at the picture (zors).

the commentary is (obviously) written by edwin...

heres the unadulterated version for no apparent reason...
so yea...

and i'm off to curse at Spleak the IM robot xD

QWERTYUIOP{~

2007-05-24T20:15:00.000-05:00

screw you, edwin.

no offense, i just needed a good way to start this post. anyway, it turns out 'he' made a blog post without me prompting him (for once) after like a month, lol.

so a quick summary of the past three weeks. Lets see....bunch of assemblies last week, plus the teen arts festival where my pilot mask won an award. missed tuesday for art club where I got to hang up thirtysomething paper butterflies with fishing line...

ugh..

theni got to hang them from the ceiling via a l33t ladder thing.

anyway.... the band concert was on the 17th, and went well. sucks that my sweet program cover design didnt win, but then nobody understood it, so whatever.

tuesday, brass band played for the seniors at some place. that was pretty sweet...

yesterday I went on the LA lit trip to Popcorn Park Zoo, a place for mistreated or unwanted animals that we donated stuff to. they had some cool animals, like two tigers, some OSTRICHES and a freakin sweet EMU. and some wallabes (spelling?) and a lot of monkeys. and a CAMEL.

SWEETNESS!!

lol Devon named practically all the animals. they had like 2 cougars and a leopard/cheetah/whatver there too. he's showing me all of them and we see these geese/deer just lying down. he's like

i didnt name any of them cause they are LOSERS. lol good times

anyway, i have to rewrite my essay, dechiper and peer edit michael's and do like 4 science worksheets.

so bye...

witty title goes here

2007-05-08T21:46:00.000-05:00

hallooo everyone..

"everyone".

anyway, i only have a minute or so to type this before i'm marched off and shoved into my bed, so a quick summary of random crap that's happened...

got off free of charge from the "raymond incident", although now there's a rumor that "I puched some kid in the face", lolz...

art club was today, I was the lucky guy who got to cut alm0ost every single paper instrument out, being the only one finished with my butterfly.. that makes two flutes, a giant violin, two clarinets, one of which I had to half-redraw with a marker pen thing, a saxophone, and a trumpet. I also fixed the trombone, and painted the bass. ughh....

i think there's a total of 15 instruments..whatever. my mask is going to the teen arts festival, and so am I! select and girls' chorus are going. select is tommorrow morning, so bed is sounding really appealing right now. crap, i lost that permission slip.

well, uh, i dont know where it is.

let's just say that theres a small chance that theres a little bit of a huge possiblity that the thought of the notion that i know that i dont know the location of the slip is not only true but accurate.

yeeah...

had to type up all of my notecards in LA today, she couldnt read them (LOL)...

not sure what else is happening...

i'm art student of the month, we'll see how that turns out tommorrow..

anyway, i'll post anything else of interest that I can think of, but i'm going to go dive into bed now.

wait. how do u dive into bed, anyway? wouldn't u break ur neck?

screw it... bye

pwnage

2007-05-03T14:57:00.000-05:00

hey again!! i know its been a while since I made a post, but today was awesome, so im going to.

we had this retarded bus driver (i guess he's new to it). he came down the street and stopped like 100 yards away from where i'm standing..then he starts and comes back. then before i even get to my seat, he like floors it and i slam down into it, lolz....

so then we're going to school, and we just go flying past ryan kadri's house... and u just glimpse him standing there sort of frozen, lol..

"you missed a kid!!!"

s0 we went halfway down the mountain, then came back up...

then he missed his house again..

so we had to turn around, and come back. AGAIN!

we picked him up, and after all that we were *only* like 15 minutes late for school, heh.

soo...school...might as well start from band practice, thats when things became fun. So, they cleared out everything cause theres a jazz band concert coming up, and the whole room is wide open. I sit in the middle of the room (after making Edwin leave) and edwin sits facing the corner. lolz...

anyway, mr white's like "ok, pick up all the big pieces of trash." so we start combing the place for garbage...i stood at the end of the line so I had to walk like 10 feet... i find this trombone, and i grab it, i'm like "this is MY trombone now..." and i just scoot away =D
then I just grab edwin, lead him over to the garbage can, and he just sits inside it, lol. he's like
"waa...they threw me out..."

so i'm like "you can get out if u promise to push me around...."(im in a wheelie swivel chair)

so he gets out, and at this point, the other 3 people are playing tag... so i pull up my legs and stretch out my arms, and edwin just starts pushing me around running people down, LOL...
"watch out! he's coming for u!!!"

anyway, things wound down after mrs quinn told us to stop, so everyone's hanging out in this corner..and i'm still in my chair here. so I"m just moving myself back and forth inching the chair forward... and im just like "watch out!!!! i'm going to get you all!! ahahaha!!'
and what's-his-face is like "oh no, i only have like 10 minutes to move.."

and right as I get within like 5 feet, he pushes me back.. i'm like "come ON!! that was like 20 minutes of work!!"

so i go back, and edwin's there, and he just starts walking away, lol.

i finally tagged him tho.

then we had to put music stands on stage, so i just push myself around in the chair ferrying stands back and forth =D

anyway, then our bus was late cause we had this incompetent bus driver sub guy... we're on the bus, and raymond (the idiot kid) is playing with his gyroscope again..and he drops it on the floor, he's like "make yourself useful and pick it up!"

so just lift it up, while mike S is like "he is useful.."
raymond: "no he's not"

so i just flick it up with my hand, catch it, then i just toss it at his face...
lmfao...it hit him right next to his eye lolz.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?"

me:"what the fuck is wrong with YOU?"

he just kicks me, and i punch his arm really hard...

all the sixth graders are like "are you OK?"
and i'm like:
"yeah, i'm fine...I can only hope the gyroscope is, it might be damaged by an impact with something so hard and thick."

and they just crack up and start clapping... and they're like "GO GEOFFREY!!!"

and they're like chanting, "here we go, geoffrey, here we go!" *clap clap*

good times!!!

and raymond never said anything else the entire ride...hahahahaha.

anyway, i have to do my social studies rough draft, and my language arts notes...

btw, i got an A+ on my uber giver poster (see post: "HAHHAHAHAHA")

good times yesterday, too, jessie walks up to me...
i'm like:
"GO AWAY!!! WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE?!?!?! DIE!!!!! seriously, how did u survive a bullet wound to the head?!"

she's safely away in 'Florida" now, so happy =D
anyway.....i'm off!!!

-insert witty title-

2007-04-27T21:41:00.000-05:00

Hey again everyone.... just a post for no apparent reason..

so yesterday was take your child to work day...I stayed at school, and surprisingly, only 26 kids in the entire house showed up. hmm. That pwned though, because everyone who DID show up got donuts, which dr jenkins bought. lucky me, i had her class when they arrived, i got first picks. lolz, there was just me and one other girl in that class...heh...

then we played badminton in gym..pwned dan a bit (badminton is one of three sports i can competently play- cricket and tennis are the other two)

not much else there...

today wasn't too great either, although it marked the last day of LA Lit, so we got some munchkins for being the best class ever, and i got a paper back. it had an a+ written on it, which was sweeeeet...

hmm.... math, science, etc....not much..more badminton in gym... generic stuff...

also, i've been working on my mechanical hand....I just need to install the linkage wires, then it shalst be done..

anyway, not much else on the home front, so goodbye!

Pimp my tank [yo]

Paraboliosis

2007-04-19T21:31:00.000-05:00

as a little sidenote, this is a tiny picture I drew in health when I was bored. we're learning about scoliosis..soo..

its a little rough, i wasn't putting any sort of effort into it, i'll admit.. (its in my agenda, F.Y.I).

and if u dont get it, you're just a freak.
or alternatively, not a total math geek and all.

shutup..

=p

~~EDIT: my strees dot has been pitch black ever since I got home, lol~~

Eeriness

2007-04-19T14:59:00.000-05:00

Actually, i remembered a bit after i made yesterday's post something really weird yesterday...
we were in LA lit reading things off of these lists we made. Rachel Schmitt happened to be in my group, and so we had the same list. Anyway, i have my hand raised, figuring out what to say, like I always do. so i'm thinking, and i'm like "taking advantage of people's fears. Like, if they were afraid of spiders, you could trick them into touching or looking at one.." or something like that (these lists were way people act prejudiced). So mrs dickinson calls on Rachel and she says "Taking advantage of people's fears. Like, if they were afraid of spiders...." and mrs dickinson cuts her off.

that in itself was sort of weird. anyway, so I raise my hand again, and again Rachel says exactly what I was about to. Then, out of curiousity, i guess what she's going to say, and bam! she says exactly what i was thinking. so this whole her taking my answer in exactly the same way i would have said it thing happens FOUR TIMES!!! FOUR!!!!

it was insane...

it also happened once or twice today when we were talking about why people are prejudiced towards teenagers..

anyway. there was a french test and a science test today...we chose poems for this "coart" thing we're doing in language arts, where we an an anonymous 8th grader take turns spending a class period drawing something on a piece of paper from a poem. i chose a poem about the pyramid of cheops, at Giza, egypt.

social studies sucked, so did french (test)...la lit wasn't too great...lunch, blaah, math....also blah. science wasn't anything special either, we had that test thing......

stupid tests.

health was OK, we did these things with "stress dots", they tell u ur stress level by color, like a mood ring, based on skin temperature. i think that's a bit flawed, personally, because depending on the temperature of the room you're in, the color could be anything.

I haxed by dot, i just held it against my desk leg until it got really cold, and i'm like "mine's black...."
good times

i was telling edwin about this one time, last year, in spanish.. erika and grace have this mood ring, they're fussing over it, and erika's being a bit-
anyway, erika's like "geoffrey, why don't YOU try it on?"
and i glare at her, and i take the mood ring and clench my fist around it, and I just glare angrily at her for like a minute and keep it in my hand, and I let go of it, and the thing is pitch black, lol...

i mean, it was seriously black... the minute I give it back, it starts like changing to blues and greens, lol..

well not much. i need to work on the health project, and the language arts thing on the giver...so goodbye...

heh.

Vampires

2007-04-18T14:53:00.000-05:00

Hmm...about a week with no post... not that much has been happening....doing pretty well in school, apparently we get report cards on Friday... I've been building this model aeroplane and working on a huge language arts project on The Giver (FYI, crappy book)...
Although there have been a few pretty funny moments....can't remember most though =*(

Maybe now, you're wonering why this is called "Vampires". or...maybe you're not. but you are now, aren't you? Yes. you are. *shotgun cocks*

just play along and let me tell my story.

we had workshop today... so were were playing Questionary, fun game. edwin's trying to get us to guess, but we never did. it was Garlic.
so lol, next time we guess i'm like
"Do you use it to stave of vampires?!" =D
also, later, i walk out to go to the bathroom and this 6th grader is like "yo, whassup?" and i just point at him and i'm like "haha-No." and he' s like "o-oh."

then when I get back, everyone's waiting to leave, Rachel is sort of bouncing back and forth against the door, so right as she's farthest away, I pull the door open, and she just falls backward and barely catches herself, she's like "geoffrey!! you made me freak out!! NOT COOL!!!"
and everyone is just cracking up..

but not much else. sean just showed me the awesomest thing ever... 0_-

monocle smiley! OMFG!

lol in math, we had a sub but mr weid comes in like at the end of class, he's talking to the sub about this surgery he had, he's like "the first time, it was from soccer. the nest time, it was from Karate.."
and brendan and kyle are like "AHAHA!! you do KARATE?!?"
and theyre just laughing hysterically, and kyle's like "mr weid, you should discipline them, they are laughing at you..
he just walks over and stares at nick and he's like "I will end you."
kyle's like "but-i thought u were gonna end ME!"
and mr weid just like stares at them for 5 minutes and walks out, and brendan's just like "HYAH!!!"

lolz...

good times, in the beginning of workshop we were all making fun of Katie Papa, kyle walks in and i'm like "c'mon kyle, join in the fun, we're making fun of Katie!"

anyway...not much planned for today...so goodbye.

Lancaster City

2007-04-10T14:38:00.000-05:00

Well, almost a week has gone by: time for another post. We're in the depths of spring break, I guess, luckily the snow has stopped, after starting pretty much the minute that school ended....not much is afoot, i've been tinkering with random crap like my marshmallow gun, and this ornithopter (I might post some pictures later). Matt and sean slept over last night, we were playing GTA:vice city (grand theft auto, duh), and I got this idea:
(some pictures from weird al's video "amish paradise", youtube it its sweet)
that's be the coolest game ever. I made that picture, btw. but wouldn't that be so cool? 'you stole my horse!!'

"acquired: flintlock musket."

heh heh heh...

i'd so buy that..

anyway, my dad got in from england last night, that's cool. but nothing too interesting is happening, except that I started building this fokker DVIII kit my mum got because I got a good grade on a math test. 95, i think. w00t cool parents ftw.

and...i'm totally not a nerd.

at all..

heh.

ah! but my sound has sort-of stopped working. only on my user account and only for some programs...no idea why. so i'm posting off of my mum's account...there was some drama before about me having ot reinstall battlefield 1942...hmm......

easter was moderately uneventful, we went out and ate at the pub....coolness..

so back to gta and that plane..bye!!

Welcome to Hell.

2007-04-05T15:17:00.000-05:00

I know I haven't mae apost in a while, but I guess I haven't felt like it. Today marks the beginning of spring break, but we had to go on this craptacular field trip to the "Constitution centre" in philadelphia.

*sigh*

It was really really boring...they made us do this "scavenger hunt" wehre we had to write something for every letter of the alphabet. it never said they had to relate to the center though...

"C-Cantaloupes are a type of melon."

I wrote that, lol...

my mum made me erase it though (she was a chaperone), lol...

lunch was OK, i'm looking at this bag of skittles:
'hey, these are from hackettstown!!!"

kyle walks up to the snack machine and starts jabbing it and he' s like

"hey, u know where you were stocked from??? Hackettstown. you now where I live? near Hackettstown!!"

and he just walks up...charles and I were laughing soooo hard, all these kids are just loking at kyle..

mrs parsell's like "What's going on??"

the bus ride was fun...

for me. for kyle, it was hell..

I made sure of it.

he wouldn't give me any skittles, so the entire ride (two hours) I was yanking on his sleeves, whining, and poking him with a drawing pencil trying to get him to give me some. I was also reading all of his text messages...
"from: natasha
I love you, kyle."

me:"aww, that's so sweet..."

i see kyle texting:

"geoffrey is harrassing me, plz do something"

later, i see a message come:

"I might miss.."

kyle's like "uhh, did you read the one about how christina was going ot throw a penny at you?"

lolz...

good times annoying kyle.
and I still didn't get and skittles. I worked for two hours, and I got nothing. grr.......

but not much else is up.. I got this cool little mini liberty bell, and we're waiting for the buses to show up. steven, the class retard, is like "why did you buy that bell if there's a crack in it??"

lolz..

well, not too much else here, just runescape-ing because my internet connection sucks and wont let me play battlefield 1942.

goodbye!!!

UB3RD4Y

2007-03-30T21:15:00.000-05:00

today's lesson:

people are not as stupid as they seem.

I mean, even sawyer waller knew enogh no to trust edwin and I. I still think that was unfounded.
I mean, a folded-in-half penny stuck inside a grape wouldn't KILL you, would it?

heh.

that was at lunch. edwin has a few coins he's..."experimented" with in metalworking. there's the illegal quarter he's hammered into a dome and the illegal penny he folded in half.
so he was fooling around at lunch. I mean, its one thing to play with your food, but is there anything against playing with OTHER people's food?
lol, he takes a grape and puts the waurter on top like a hat: "it's vietnam grape!!!"
he squishes it. "vietnam grape got hit by a bomb."

he shoves the penny into this other grape.
"mohawk grape!!!"

I pull it out, and im like
"its 'OMFG i have a hole in my head, wtf?' grape!"
good times.

got to miss periods 1 and 2 because there was some huge house math test.
kyle and I weren't involved, being in weid's. so we sat in mrs j's homeroom doing math homework, drawing pictures, whispering, and making fun of natasha (kyle's girlfriend).
he was just like "natasha. natasha."... ovber and over again. I believe we got to 10 before she noticed, lol.

I reincarnated Paperchat, v.1.0

good times. if I ever get it from him i'll scan it...

also we wrote a random story involving tom cruise, mrs frizzle, a lot of explosive and a bomb sniffing pig. heh...

french, worked on that calendar I made, it was sweet. personally, my opinion.

lunch, already explained, mrs k said i could be art student of the month...heh.

math was freaking sweet, NONE of the girls were there, it was awesome. I mean, I don't want to sound like a 9 year old, but those girls are just a pain...ugh. so it was just kyle, edwin, nick, brendan and I. edwin's explaining this problem, and nick walks up.
"so wait, is this the right answer?"
"no, this is just screwed up.."
and edwin draws an arrow pointing to it that says "wrong scrwd up answr"
nick's just standing there.
he draws another arrow that says "nick"

lmao...

i helped kylw with this one problem, and i'm like OHH!! I SOLVED IT!! SKILLZ!!!

and I run up to the board and write "SKILLZ!1!one" across it =D

later we're making fun of the math problems we have.

"what kind of job is a wallpaper hanger?"
edwin:" I want to be a wallpaper hanger!"
me:" I don't want to be a wallpaper hanger.

I want to be the wallpaper."

edwin and I just run to the side of the room and stretch our arms over the wall and just stand there..

good times.

btw LA lit was fun, we spent 20 mins just talking and doing nothing...

science was sucky

so was everything else.

played runescape a bit, got 50 strength. a friend from massachusetts stopped by and took us to dinner, had this uberbrownie for dessert.

anyway, now i'm just working on some sketches for art student of the month, so byes.

Dancing sucks.

2007-03-29T20:56:00.000-05:00

Lesson of the day:

Falling asleep with normal levels of rest, while in an upright sitting position, is impossible.

Discovered this during the Modern Dance recital.
also discovered that the ceiling supports form 556 triangles, and that there are 123 foil stars from art club.

heh.

so yeah, it was reaalllly boring. plus, I had to miss my band lesson. grrr...

stupid modern dance...
I was really wondering why at the finale they did that "heil hitler" thing with their hands? they were marching (literally) towards each other and they just like stuck up their left hands like that.

lolz.

nobody else noticed that.

at all.

there's me for ya.

ugh...why'd I say "ya"?
*shudder*

mishka was in it, I remember that...
that's all I can remember about the thing really.

I also fixed my watch.

by whacking it.

hard.

yay =D

so I wasted some time on runescape today..I got two strength levels, two hp levels, a prayer level, several cooking and fishing levels...and a combat level. plus, I bet edwin in a no armour dm (deathmatch). yay!

I just did my calendar thing for french, and now i'm going to go waste time doing nothing

bye!

Shit,.

2007-03-28T21:24:00.000-05:00

Lesson of the day:
Never ever ever EVER shove your hand into an operating metal lathe.

Ow.

I still can barely feel my thumb.

anyway, not too much is afoot, select chorus this morning, yay!
we're singing this call and response thing. "are you ready, my brother?"
"oh yes!"

we changed it to "oh yeah" because nobody says "oh yes" anymore.

so patrick is like...
"i feel like the Kool-Aid guy..

OHH YEEEAHH!!!!!"

so we ere just cracking up..

boring day, really, science and social studies tests, but workshop, yay again!

playing this reasoning/logic game. Rachel has to make our team guess a word our name by asking only yes/no questions. the other team, of course, gets to see the card for maximum AWESOMENESS!!!

so mimi's looking at the card and nick's like "is it a food?"
"well I think they eat them in ecuador.."

so mrs farrel hands the card to rachel and flips the timer. edwin just yells
"GUINEA PIGS!!!!!!"

lmao! funnier still, it was right.

lololol.

so played rs a bit, got two strength and prayer levels, an attack and an hp level. plus I got the gravedigger event for the second time and also finished my skull sceptre

managed to machine the pieces for the pump (for the marshmallow pistol), i'm planning on soldering them tommorrow (dad was tired today).

so now i'm off.

bye.

heh.

Stardom

2007-03-26T16:36:00.000-05:00

heh. went a whole week without posting..

well, i guess I didn't feel like it.

I still don't.

aw crap.

anyway. art club hung the decorations today, it was really fun. got to miss half of my classes. we worked like hell though. first we needed to cut 6 rolls of black paper into 25 foot sections. then they were attached, and all the tiny foil stars (like 100) that we had were attached to the strips. there were 2 strips of three of the segments we cut, if that makes any sense.

which...it doesn't.

shut up.

anyway. plus, the giant glittery stars we made were hung from the ceiling via a ladder. wood was stapled to the ends of the banner things, and ropes tied to the pieces. i tied the ropes =D

then mrs scheiss got onto the ladder and threw the ropes over the ceiling supports, and we had to pull the ropes down and thus lift the paper up. it went all teh way to the ceiling =0

after that, I got to tie the rope (s) to the bleachers. the first time, I believe I tied 3 square knots, 2 normal, and 3 clove hitches.

overkill? psh.....noob. =p

so, then we had to do the other banner thing. mrs scheiss threaded the rope through the ladder accidentally, then everything got stuck into the ceiling supports. i had the bright idea of untying the knot from the backdrop itself to help, and it worked. pretty well.

knotted that to the wall...

then some gaps in the paper made themselves noticed.

I used my ninja skillz to climb up on the bleachers and stretch tape between two yardsticks and join the gap. then I taped two more yardsticks to the ends of those I was holding and awesomely fixed the problem.

n2m else has been going on...

made a blog for the things I build, check it out here.

made some 3d pics on friday..

and now i'm trying to make a marshmallow pistol modeled after the halo 1 pistol, which owns.

also slept over at matt's. surprisingly, in halo, I beat edwin. I had a pistol. he had a sniper rifle. this was at a good distance, too. good times...

and now I leave, after some serious ass-kicking in bf942.

quiziness

2007-03-19T19:55:00.000-05:00

I know I already made a post today, but don't complain. Or be like "another post? screw THAT.."

I was browsing on Blogthings, and I found this personality quiz. i thought the results were pretty sweet, so here they are:

Your Personality Is

Rational (NT)

You are both logical and creative. You are full of ideas.

You are so rational that you analyze everything. This drives people a little crazy!

Intelligence is important to you. You always like to be around smart people.

In fact, you're often a little short with people who don't impress you mentally.

You seem distant to some - but it's usually because you're deep in thought.

Those who understand you best are fellow Rationals.

In love, you tend to approach things with logic. You seek a compatible mate - who is also very intelligent.

At work, you tend to gravitate toward idea building careers - like programming, medicine, or academia.

With others, you are very honest and direct. People often can't take your criticism well.

As far as your looks go, you're coasting on what you were born with. You think fashion is silly.

On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things.

The Three Question Personality Test

I mean how cool is that? "On weekends, you spend most of your time thinking, experimenting with new ideas, or learning new things."
totally me....the dude who spent 5 hours building this chaotic maelstrom of wiring to prove something just because of a passing comment.

lol..

anyway, godnight. i mean, 'goodnight**

zors.

Cubage

2007-03-19T19:18:00.000-05:00

hmm....well not all that much has happened. snow day friday, as mentioned. saturday, went shopping for my mum's birthday, which is today. also, i broke our celing lights by throwing a bag full of clothes at them.

accidentally.

heh.

i did though, but I think me dad has fixed them, so that's good.

saturday and sunday, I basically worked on the UBERCUBE!!!!!!!!!!
saturday evening, went to sean's house, we played Call of Duty-fun stuff.
sunday had the montclair thing, where I coded a web page about shrewds. heh.

anyway, turns out i needed a symbol thing for today, so I whipped up this lightbulb thing from some pine plank i found lying around.

use 'jigsaw' with 'plank'.
glue 'circles'
'sand'.

mmm..runescape.

so i spent like 2 hous sanding like hell on the belt sander thing. standing up. ow.

so that's cool. tried to work largely on the cube, which I DID get done. because, btw, we bought LEDs for it on saturday. i made a cool switch panel for it, and wired up the blue and red LEDs. 'twas sweet.

so, today. chorus, blah blah blah.....

homeroom everyone was crowing around looking at the cube....language arts was the most interesting. i walk up to Mrs P with the box and i'm like "I made a scale model of a color changing room..."
she just turns to like andrea in the first row. "ha..that is so cool!!!"

lolz. wo we "Modge-Podge-d" our symbols, modgepodge is like this gluey seal-y thing. and I don't mean the aquatic animal. although it was awfully red...hmm...

lol jk.

my lightbulb wasn't too hard to do, just a little being that it was semi-spherical. other ppl had much more trouble. take Nick, for instance. his words were like "intelligent", "creative". naturally, the first thing he was sure to do was stick his symbol to the desk along with half the words. it was a basketball.

so basically I amazed everyone with that cube, people thought it was the best thing since....something else. like that van de graaf generator i made last year. heh...

rachel's symbol was like a horse, but she didn't want to get the modgepodge stuff on the horse's mane/tail. So me, being the good and kind citizen that I am..

yes, edwin and the other people hwo are getting ready to crack up in their seats.

I AM nice. just....not to u. heh.

so, me being the kind citizen that I am (stop laughing, dammit!) held my lightbulb with two fingers (which TOTALLY did NOT getstuck to it. at all.) and then spent like a quarter of the class period holding the tail of rachel's horse up.

and making fun of nick.

gotta make fun of nick.

'geoffrey, wanna help me here?'
'No.'

rachel: 'ahh! I can't keep this tail up!'
here i just reach over and help her with said tail (me sitting across from her)

nick:"what?? why do you help her?"
"It's more fun watching you suffer."

good times.

ah right, i'm supposed to be nice.

um...er....well you see....it's like-

shut up!! shut up!!!

lol jk, nick didn't care...I hope. heh.

so not much else seemed to happen...made fun of Nat'l Treasure *which we watched) in social studies, with edwin....french....blaah.....same with LA lit..
o lol, i walk into la lit

"today is the day!! I can feel it!! Balto is going to die!!!!"

nm else happening so....science was pretty dull, pretty funny when mr weid threw a paper ball at Gel in math.. he missed by like 6 inches and all the guys are like "oooohhh...."

lol...

floor hockey in gym, did pretty well there....but again i'm drawinga blank here...

well when I got home, I made a super cake thing for my mum's birthday...it's a 2 layer strawberry shortcake. with whipped cream
homemade whipped cream
its sweet.

ness.

to the MAX!!

anyhow, i'm going to go do random crap (bf1942).

funny story I just thought of randomly...

so anyway. lst year, in spanish....Erika is sitting there with some friends and tehy're messing with this mood ring..

and she's like "ooh, geoffrey, why don't you try??"

so it's all like purple-y and red and i just hold it in my fist and stare at her...and it turns pitch black...lol....

good times..

goooooood tiimmess...

blizzardish

2007-03-16T11:26:00.000-05:00

Well, there's a now day, good for all involved.

namely me, but..erm....hi.
jk. although it does give me more time to work on my UBERCUBE! =p

and my mum, who's happy (h-a-p-p-v-on-a-stick, edwin), as she got out of Sub-ing at the middle school. she's short and terrified of the middle school lol..

by my standards, its pretty blizzard-ish outside. snowing pretty heavily, which is sweet, though it does stop me from going ot radioshack to get stuff.

anyway, i' making origami for some showcase my mum is putting up, so i'm off. bye!

Toasted!!!

2007-03-15T20:41:00.000-05:00

phew! the ASK finished yesterday, hurrah!! n2m is up here....lol, in Language arts, she's holding up pieces of paper and is like "now imagine you walked into a room where everything is this color. Now, obviously, I can't replicate that-"
and everyone in the room just looks at me.
"erm...hi."

well, you know me.

actually you don't.

shut up! =p

anyway. so i got sort of into that half-crazy partally delirious mindset that's so common, and i was determined to do something like that.

so i came home and spent four hours making a scale prototype.

it's pretty sweet.

and simple.

so it's basically a 7" cardboard cube without a top. there's a row of LEDs along the top that I can control. of course, it's pretty limited. but considering that I built it in an evening with stuff we had lying around the house (i.e., a pizza box, hot glue, and UBER TAPE!) , it's pretty cool. it can do three colors, having red and green LEDs. actually, I might have toasted the reds by using a 9 volt to test them.

oooooops.

ah well. i'll show them all. every last one!! MUAHAHAHAHA!

anyway. here's a picture i drew after testing one day to distract you while I go steal ur stuff

:p

2007-03-13T19:27:00.000-05:00

Ugh. ASK testing this week. yesterday was blaaaaaaahh....th eusual deal with insanely easy ASK testing thing. today/yesterday was Langauge arts, and we had TWO writing prompts. yes, that's right sean, you with your little freaking Tera Novas....grr...

I dont have much to complain about though, i finished today's prompt in 15 mins flat, w00tness.

so i spent time reading 1776 for social studies (we get extra credit for reading it). i'm way furtehr than anyone else, page 178, i believe =)
also drew on the Writer's Checklist crap thing that nobody ever uses. explained that the b-17 flying fortress had a single tail to sean barnes who sat behind me and generally amazed everyone with my origami SKILLZ! and my uber ninja drawing awesomeness. i dont know how or why 'ninja' fits in there, but, eh. SO i drew this cool picture...of a fokker triplane. sadly, i left it at art club, but w/e. everyone was being AWESOME!, by which I mean being nice to me =p

hmm....watched some disney movie in language arts lit. you know me, so-
oh, wait, you might not.

well, screw you. =p

so, the disney movie.
me: "kill him!! die, die!!!"
mmm.....ruining the spirit of things......

=-p again

generic lunch period.

jessie:"so the whalens r coming to the party...."
me: "D'OH!!!!"*cringe*.."i mean.."*pause* "D'OH!!" *cringe*

see, jessie is madly in love with Jon Whalen, so its always fun to make fun of her on that. (FYI, Jon's an idiot.)

and if you're reading this.....erm....hi sean.

I'm sorry, but don't botehr hunting me down. I've changed my name and moved to mexico. Plus I have taken care of anyone who knew anything about me.
they were.....'eliminated'.

heh.

math was coolness, I got an extra credit answer. i'll scan that if i remember to bring it home tommorrow.....yesterday math was funny, kyle's gf Natasha walks in, mr weid's like "hey natasha, come here. i need to tell you this. Ever since kyle's been going out with you, he has been doing really well in math. he's been focused and on top of things. You see...mathematically...you're the best thing that ever happened to his life."
she starts to walk away..
"Wait, you're not done yet." he leans closer. "Between you and me......WHY are you oging out with him?"
everyone cracks up.
"no, seriously."

good times!!!

science was boring, today they screwed with the schedulezors so we had first period....Language arts..played Boggle. fo rlike 2 minutes. I was the only one who got any words so we went on to Balderdash. (we're playing games because most classes dont meet, ASK testing). i had some good definitions there.
"sortilege-the muscular tissue surrounding bone structures in some amphibians."

huh? not bad, eh?

lol...

cooking, boring tody and yesterday..

art club...not too exciting...just moulded my mask's flying goggles from plaster....waited for it to dry, which it didn't...took it off prematurely...tried it on the mask...coolness!

ah right, excitement at lunch was that mishka's friends came and sat at our table, there's some sort of inter-'friend'-group-conflict-thing going on there, w/e

stupid mishka's friends.

FYI, they suck.

just saying.

and don't think i'm a bad person, they're her friends and she thinks the same.

no, really, she does.

so i've been drawing on this thing I stumbled upon. It's called Artpad, and it's pretty awesome.
I made a few drawings. they don't look all that good, but drawing with the limited tools is hard, especialy with a mouse.

so, here's the best, the "pretty cool but not all that good", and the first (for lack of a better name).

n2m is up here, funny simpsons, but that's all that's on the home front.

except that I just made a legal agreement with sean to give him 2 cookies if he has a birthday party
"

, Geoffrey M.G. Andrews, on the date of March 13, 2007, swear that if my 'friend' Sean P. Reilly should happen to host a birthday party to which I and certain people to be determined henceforth are invited, I will grant him two cookies. Furthermore, should he host a party and his computer explode, three cookies shall be granted to him. If the two aforementioned events should coincide in date, a sum of five cookies will be transferred to his possession.

Geoffrey Andrews"

Superquiz

2007-03-11T21:09:00.000-05:00

Geoffrey took the free ColorQuiz.com personality test!

"Seeks success, stimulation, and a life full of exp..."

(and awesomeness)

Click here to read the rest of the results.

"a life full of exp...."

That could only mean one thing: Runescape.

=p

anyway, i took that quiz just now. n2m has happened recently, had t3h montclair computer course, went to sean's house...plus I downloaded DCX, the extended version of desert combat. it's so sweet! u can play as the BRITISH!!! W00T!

anyway, u can also carry around sangbags and BUSHES!!!

to use as cover. heh.

sean got DC too, we were playing online. just now he was talking about how he wants to kill his computer. hmm.

so, n2m is going on....just took that quiz, i thought it was pretty accurate. heh.

tommorrow starts ASK testing, so i'd better go to bed soon. byes!

VISTANIZED!

2007-03-09T23:29:00.000-05:00

I'm about ot head off to bed, but here's what's up...I just semi-vistanised my xp!! edwin showed me this cool update pack that can make your computer look like a vista....

actually, it can update your computer to being really close to a vista, I just didn't install all of the features-i like my XP.

it makes me happy.

=p.

anyway, here it is..

^click for full-size^

anyway, I have to go to bed now, so byes...

Trashcat

2007-03-09T22:13:00.000-05:00

Hey again everyone..

i've been a bit reluctant to make a post, but i'm sitting around waiting for hard drive cleanup to do its thing, so now's the time, i suppose..

n2m happened yesterday...i distinctly remember heading to Art during flex...i moulded my mask's flying helmet out of plaster, so i sanded it a little and painted it. I still need to touch up a few spots that I missed, but it looks pretty cool. hmm...

so my mum drove me in this morning, i wasn't late (for once), got in just in time for some crappy announcement about the clocks being turned back an hour that made no sense at all...

in language arts, I had to type my entire writing prompt. i must be pretty good at writing (not 2 brag), but i mean, she told me that i was off topic...but she gave me a 5. w00t!!! =)

social studies and french were pretty boring in their own way, except french i was trying to convince brain that airliners are not pretty. i mean, how is an airbus pretty? airliners are the workhorses of the aviation world.

here; which do you think is nicer? this....

or this?

yeah, i know. i'm so right in this!!! *sigh*

anyway. boring la lit period, as is fairly standard, but i was entertaining every1 with my uber origami skillz =p

made this stellated octahedron thing...heh..

lunch was blah..

ah wait! major confusing event of the day WASN"T math!! OMG!!

actually, math was pie, i got it really easily. anyway, i'm walking to la lit, and i see erika and her little gang, w/e, she walks by and it like "Mishka want's to marry you!"

internal thoughts. "it's erika! dammit, forgot my pepper spray at home..."
at first, oyu know , typical (jk, lol)

then just "erm....wtf??"

again fairly usual. maybe some sort of interesting plotine will come out of this. hmmm......

so, math was easy, science.....aha!! mrs parsell was sooooo pissed at jack, he was running around at flex instead of getting the work he missed. so we're all sitting in clas chatting, she stors in and slams the door, and as it just bangs everyone just jumps up practically and snaps to attention...

it was pretty funny.

in that "ha ha sucks to be him, *phew*" sort of way. lol, jk, i felt bad 4 him.

cooking wasn't too interesting today or yesterday....yesterday we were doing table manners, we wre in this little skit thing, i was a "waiter".

"this is ur..um...tomato (toh-maht-o) thing. yeah...."

mrs r: " now he would pay.."

i just stick my hand out...

"dude, pay. now. money."

=)

n2m else has been happening, just hanging around on the computer...btw, you HAVE to see this site, it's freaking hysterical, found the bestest picture ever...

LOL!!!

trashcat is not amused..lolololol...

i dont think much has happened. i did work a little bit on that vacuunm-forming machine, coolness...i'll prob. finish it this weekend..

so, byes, post more l8r.

Return of the Go-cart 2

2007-03-06T22:04:00.000-05:00

btw, I don't feel like editing this in for nobody to see: you can check out the go cart video here, thanks to blip's tendency to hate me! we'll see who has the last laugh!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

yeah.

it was me.

see? i was-

nvm. =p

Vlogz

2007-03-06T21:43:00.000-05:00

damn blip.tv...

i'll give YOU invalid password!! *pulls out machine gun*

oh, right.

so apparently blip.tv won't let me cross post to here because edwin screwed up the cross posting system by adding his blog.

grrr...

stupid edwin. it's all his fault...ahahahahahaa!!!!

so n2m happened....writing prompt in Language Arts, random crap worksheet in social studies.....second person this week telling me how quickly/terribly i write, lol...

n2m in french, we started learning about days/months/etc....

mr weid was pissed in math because i wasn't working or something, w/e...

science, got a pretzel w00t!! i recited newton's first and got it, it was full of salty goodness.

cooking was next, we made chicken cutlets. or started to. personally, I feel very accomplished. I think I can safely say that I am the only person in the seventh grade who has passed through cooking without touching a single piece of chicken. OHH!! OWNED!! take that, you freaking poultry....anyway, me and my mad skillz managed to hold the chicken with the meat mace-

tenderizer...heh...and cut it with the uber scythe-

serrated knife.

w00t! i am so skilled. naturally my piece had all the fat and blood in it, waaaaaaa!!!!

still, easily dodged, hurrah...

so, then was art club, I painted the eyes onto my face (mask), and made the "leather" (read as: plaster) flying helmet thing.....

watched the new rvb just now, lol, funny stuff.

I hate those little cliffhanger things....so annoying.

n2m else, i downloaded bf1918 last night, omg, its so cool!!! the guns are so totally crappy, and so are the tanks...but oyu can drive these little turn of the century cars!! OMG!!!! plus u can fly these uber-simple planes that stall and crash if you don't give them full throttle. good times...

heh.

more fun with Desert Combat, one of my fav. features there is the ability to drive random civilian cars, hurrah!!

so, i'm off, i have to go to bed 4 select tommorrow, byes...

Holy crap.

2007-03-05T21:33:00.000-05:00

so, I drove my go kart for the first time in a few months today. I guess I can describe it best in the words I kept muttering as I drove it.

Holy crap.

that thing accelerates really quickly, I have a video of it i'll post l8r.

so, today wasn't too eventful, 96 on the french quiz, 97.7 average in science... made cookies!!! in cooking, of course.

so we're on the bus, and like all the eighth graders are like "geoffrey, give us cookies."

me:" erm...my name is Harold. I don't know who you're talking to!"

so i proceeded to ignore them for the rest of the ride. good times.

i played desert combat rather a lot, it was really fun. its awesome. i mean, i suck, but so what? i mean, does it really matter if I can't fly a helicopter for more than half a minute without it going vertical and slamming into the ground?

oh, maybe it does.

D'OH!!!!

still, it's fun, it actually has singleplayer mode, so it's really fun. and everything has scopes.

like it has this uper bazooka scope. haha....

even the landmines. no, seriously.

lol jk.

i'm trying to download bf1918 whilst I'm at it...

and the Earl the Canister movie is on my/edwin's video blog
.

haha.

i'm going to go make fun of michael some more, so bye. i'll try to get that go kart video, and the earl video, onto t3h b1()gz()rz

kk, byes.

oh, wait:newsflash! edwin was seen in bf942 in Viper's Lair as "rampaging asians" =0

t3h p4rty

2007-03-04T21:06:00.000-05:00

so, edwin's birthday party was on friday. sleepover affair, started at 5:00 though (=0).

i wrapped his present ike a frying pan. i made this frying pan out of cardboard and put the games (bf1942 anthology, generic star wars game) in it. heh heh. i liked his card a lot too.
it was fun, jessie and sean both gave edwin xbox controllers, he ended up with 5 total, coolness. Pretty fun was when ppl started dragging me around by the feet on the wood floor. less fun when was john/matt W. pulled on my pants and pulled them half off. dimwit....

lol, Josh tries halo for the first time:
"how do I shoot?"

speaking of which, those 2 were really irritating. they were just yelling and being assholes...lol, someone's like "you, what's your name?"
me:"oh, he's just an idiot."
john/matt:"ass".
me:" that's right, we call him "ass".

so, everyone is like "hey ass, shut up!" and calling him "ass". we actually got him to leave the room. heh heh heh.

so, we went outside to generically run around. we're running down the street, michael and I just are walking behind, when paul and half of everyone just comes running back up..
"let's ditch 'em!!"

good times. and so we did. then we got bored and went to stalk them, then this pissed lady is like "stfu, go away n()()Bs", though maybe not in those words.

more halo pwnage....played the Wii, that was awesome...we were going to play Mafia, and i'm like
"I want to be a firetruck!!! weewooweewooweewoo..."
*crawls around on floor*

got up in the morning and played yet more halo. sean and I were teaming, Burial Grounds on team slayer. we freaking owned. i kept getting the rocket launcher, and josh, who came a long way from the "how do I shoot" phase, would keep getting ghosts. you see, he kept getting the ghost and splattering everyone. everyone did. I, on the other hand, kept getting the rocket launcher and owning the crap out of everyone. so he's in the warthog, i load the rocket launcher, and i'm like "hi there, josh..."

i shoot right as he get out and he turns round to see his ghost just blow up completely...

"you blew up my ghost, bitch!!!"

or when they both get into the warthog..

"here, i'll gun. let's go!"

sean's like 'oh crap..'

i run up, and just shoot without even locking on...

BOOM!!!

sean turns around and just sees this flaming wreck...lmao....

i made some sweet sniper shots, sean and I beat edwin and someone else 50:49....ha ha....

stayed at edwin's with matt 4 a while....

and here we come across Earl the canister. we found him in Headlong, Halo 2. edwin blew him sideways with a grenade and so started a long ordeal. so he's rolling htem up these stairs, completely neglecting the ramps *cough*. he gets it to the top, and we film this little video, of us puching earl off. trying, of course, to hit me. so, edwin's like "we're going to puch him off this...-"

and here, looking at earl, he accidentally chucks a frag grenade...

"oh shit..."

*BOOM!*

matt's screen just goes red, earl goes flying off....lmao..

we made a video, but revver says it's copyright law-breaking, and wont host it. aww...

maybe it will be up somewhere else l8r.

also watched some movie online, "pwning da noobs", screwed but funny, check it out on albino black sheep.

erm....lets see...n2m else.

today, we (edwin, me) had our first class of the gifted program at montclair u. we're taking this programming/coding course, they had IBM thinkpads to fool with whilst he was lesson teaching..

they have photoshop 7 =0

and sketchup, 3d sketchpad, random crap cool programs, etc.

good times...

heh.

did u know this blog is hosted from canada? ha....interesting.

hmm...

o lol, yeah!! edwin's mother is great, she managed to lock her keys in her own car. so, after my lock picking attempts proved to be futile, we just called edwin's dad and ate some chicken. mmm.....'chicken'. at the diner place, btw. so, he came, we went home, etc, etc.

plus, my dad bought a new and more powerful engine for my go-cart. it has 6.5 hp, the old one was like 4, but it barely, if ever worked. i'm planning on driving it tommorrow, our driveway is perfect, and i might get a cool video with my camcorder...

just did some random math homework, and i'm off to battlefield 1942, or maybe desert combat, since i just downloaded it.

later!!

Mice

2007-03-01T20:01:00.000-05:00

Maybe, just maybe, you've been wondering what i've been up to.

lol, of course you haven't been.

but that's not the point.

so..today...

I...uhh....beat a mouse at Go Fish.

lol, i love TSAH..

anyway, not too much of interest happened, language arts, mrs paolella was walking around reading people's thesis statements.

"great...great..."
she comes to me.
"good"

OHH! BURN!

oh, wait. this is me. d'oh!

really annoying, i forgot my uber social studies graph at home, @$%#...

not much else happened, some contest thing in LA lit, brainstorming different things relating to courage. we almost won, lost by like 5 ideas. grr...

lunch...yeah, forgot whatever happened there too, as usual...

math, started learning about *dramatic timpani roll*
Negative Integers!!

its pretty cool. i also exhibited my super techo-mastery-savvy-skillz-etc by fixing michaela's calculator. again.

again.

so, not much after that, random crap in science, i actually went to Gym for once, i didnt feel like band...funny, the ball barely misses dan's head, he has his back turned, and he takes a step forward and the ball bounces p and hits im perfectly in the back of the head...lol.

i made edwin's card, his B-to the Day party is tomorrow...and...don't ask. have to go finish my math h/w, so bye.

representative-ical-ification

2007-02-28T16:31:00.000-05:00

OOOH!! this is my 102nd post!! sweetness. I never got around to making a post yesterday, but I dont think all that much happened anyhow.

pretty annoying was how dr. J counted my poster as late even though it's the best in class and handing it in 2 days after it was due wasn't even my fault. i mean, it was corrupted! how was I supposed 2 know?

grr......plus she took off THREE FREAKING POINTS from my colonial magazine becuase i mixed up two of the page numbers. edwin and michael, on the other hand, didn't put page numbers in like they were supposed to, and they got FULL CREDIT!! What the hell!?!?!??! that's so screwed up!!!

i hate that teacher.

grrrr....

had art club yesterday, i worked on my cool pilot mask thing...aha...wait. i guess this was the highlight of the day, mrs clark/ mrs klapischak asked me to represent 7th grade when the mayor dude signs this proclamation thing about youth art month. w00t. =D

today wasn't too cool, i handed in my poster, which ended up at about 3' long......erm..........

had first day of LA lit, it wasn't bad at all......at the end I taught Kevin C about perspective because he likes to draw, i guess. drew a cool little car thing. lunch was interesting, for the first time of the year, they had the divider down so the whole room was open. pretty cool.... talking to michael.

"so yeah...where's edwin??"
me: "he's casing the joint-I mean......buying something at the school store."

=p

we had the math test next period, i got a 95, i believe, which is pretty good. then I showed Katie how to clear the memory slots on her calculator, and inspired a lot of confusion, me explaining a few times, cameron calling me a genius a lot, edwin asking how the @#%$ I know these things, and general looks of [coolie-coolie-cool] awe from people. yeah. hi.

which reminds me, i was thinking. what's with the word 'awesome'? i mean, shouldn't it be 'awful'? why is 'awful' bad? i mean, if something hurts, it's "hurtful". if something inspires awe, shouldn't it be awful? eh, whatever.

o lol, we were in language arts, she's like "what are some things that the american flag stands for?"

my first thought was "bad government".

i guess i didnt want to get a bad reputation with anyone....lol....

so.

not much else, i might work on my super-duper-robo-hand-thing a bit later, but apparently i'm supposed to vacuum the steps.

ugh.

so, goodbye.

again.

heh.

delayz

2007-02-26T19:49:00.001-05:00

right....right..

i haven't made a post today! yet. ah, wait. i'm making one now. right. right. that's inherently obvious come to think of it.
d'oh!

i've been practising the recorder accompaniment for Select CHorus (renaissance style piece) listen 2 it here =D (mind u this is just all the recorder part strung together, its really more spread out)

so...we had a 2 hour delay!! i'm surprised we didnt get more (c previous post), but there u go.
anyway, i realised this halfway through typing, but i typed the school day as a normal day, not a half-day-lets-mess-with-the-schedule-and-give-everyone-a-hard-time day.

so.

i guess taht doesn't mean much except for some little points.

ah well.

worth mentioning.

i think.

*intrigue music*
hmm....language arts...not much, i guess, we're doing some assignment based on the Pigman, a book by paul zindel ehich we just read. we have to create an "obituary" for The Pigman *dramatic timpani roll*

so, justin's like: "wait, what's his first name?"

so rachel and me and a few other people are like "angelo" at the same time

justin: 'how do u spell that?'

rachel and me: "a-n-g-e-l-o."

then i say "it's like 'angel' with an 'o' at the end", and like the second after i start speaking, rachel says exactly the same thing.

uhh!!! *shudders* 'freaky!'-quoth the edwin.

sorry, new phrase.

then there was social studies, my poster didnt' print right apparently, because i accidentally navigated away from the email while i was attaching the the pictures and segment 3 of my poster didnt open. waaa. well, i showed her! (mrs jenkins). i dont know how. but, i can hand it in tommorrow, so i'm happy. I still had to present it today.

"My project was on Duke Ellington. My poster didn't print right, but you can admire it anyway, here in all its disassembled glory.."

the class and "docta J" crack up. sort of. in that like "haha, thats funny, but i dont feel like laughing" sort of a way.

aaannyway, moving on. erm....french, i explained the benefits of Militay Time. Brian was going on about how jessie wouldnt tell him why the english slang "wanker" is so offensive to people. i know now, but i'm not going to tell you either, ha ha. go look it up yourself, you filthy pig. just kidding, kind reader-peoples.

hi.

so, core music, worked on the uber "screenplay" of doom....lunch......stuff. eyah, i missed like a quarter of it at the library trying to print my poster panel thing. ah well. ediwn was handing out invites. it was like a little card, on the front:

"open. now."

then on the inside, there was a spiral type thing.

"look into the spiral, and remember, Macbooks are niice presents. so are segways."

lol, funny guy.

math, i fitted 5/6ths of my poster together. this was before social studies (screwed up schedule) but i'm used to having it after so for some reason i'm writing this like my normal schedule, whatever.

science, generic stuff..oh wait! yes. i got into an argument with Mrs Parsell about air resistance.
she was trying to say that wind can create friction.

ah, yes, you migh tbe thinking.

but that's where you're wrong!

wind doesn't create friction, it enhances it. her example was a plane flying into a headwind. my proof was that you'd have friction with or without the headwind, it's just amplified by the headwind.

she wouldn't accept my right-ness-itude-ality. ah well. fine with me.

hmm............gym.......

"gym? what's a 'gym'?"

(g-eye-m)

sorry, simpsons.

we did something. ah, knockout. for the records, the bleacher second from the left as you walk in the left-side hall door....

is now part of the British Empire.

look, i'm sorry guys, it had to happen. edwin would tell you that the median between the two bleacher halves is now stairland, but nobody cares.

much, heh heh heh.

oh, right.

so, i was fiddling with riley's rubik's cube on the bus, i got a side done. go me! i wonder if i could solve it by doing the same side 6 times. hmm....

lol =p

hmm...

mm...

i like

ok. enough of that. i was trying to work on my robo-hand-thing this evening but i couldn't find any elastics for the wrist strap. ah well.

goodbye, i have some unfinished h/w to attend to. heh heh heh.

WE are gathered here today...

2007-02-25T22:52:00.000-05:00

no snow day?!?!?! ugh!!!!!!!

so, i guess my posts are getting a wee bit spread out. ah well. that's OK. so, friday, edwin and sean slept over, the usual Xbox affair. some fun halo headshots, uber skillz, etc. acutally, we played a lot of grand theft auto on my ps2 as well. that was fun. so, i have my turn, and i turn into an alley, and i jut find an uzi automatic, lol......nobosy else ever got it =D

i love that one dude...

"ahh!! my vehicle!!!"

lol...

today we headed to my grandpa's, not too much on that front. read a lot in 1776, which i'm reading for social studies extra credit. omg!! my sister's graphing calculator has games on it!! i was playing block dude all the way up there. in the car. you're this stick figure, and you push these boxes around to that you can get to the door...its so much fun...

i got to level 7 before i noticed the headache.

on the way back, my sister and i played with color-shifting silly putty. hers, of course. what else lurks in her handbag? i know she has needlenose pliers, several screwdrivers, and some duct tape....*shudders*

the last bag disentegrated under the weight. lol......

so, i made this little dude. name's Oscar. he was such a trooper. he was climbing the window when it happened. my sister...so heartless.

SHE KILLED HIM! IN COLD BLOOD!!

NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! OSCAR!!!

he was so young....never hurt a soul. he had so much to live for.

WHY, GOD, WHY????????????????

*deep bomming voice* 'idunno.'

ohhh yeahh....... i'm an atheist. right, right.

still, it makes for some suitable drama. what can u do?

so there was oscar, lying peacefully on the back over of 1776, in his grave. or, on top of it, since i didnt want to damage the book. he had a little gravestone. then she came again. i mean seriously, when is it enough? you killed him, why do you want to shove his gravestone into his head/!?!? ah well. she killed king charlie too. smashed him into his throne, she did.
=(

ah well. that sparked a whole thing of us smushing each other's "creations" for hte next 15 mins or so...good times!!

we are so mature....

so, my parents went to see that movie, about the queen, i think its called " the queen", but u cant be too sure. my sister went to her boyfriend's house...i hung out and watched TV. messed with my mum's crappy old IBM thinkpad that she got from school, i got a fairly steady wifi signal from the office. watched harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban. great special effects. funny simpsons after that, dogfights on the history channel....

its snowing, btw. SNOWING!!!

i mean, they haven't even called for a delay yet. what's with that? last time not only did they cancel all afterschool activities and declare a snowday, they did it before it even started snowing! and we already have more snow than we got then!!! wtf?!?

ah well. maybe they'll come to their senses.

as for me, it's dinner-time. for me. just because im' awesome.

in fact, i just finished reverse-engineering a good set of notes for my social studies project. apparently, taking notes was mandatory, so i jsut took some from the text of my poster. which i did yeterday, fyi, on duke ellington, for extra credit in social studies....so.

byes. to dinner!!!

*theme from william tell overture*

A day (or two) in the life...

2007-02-23T17:04:00.000-05:00

ooooops.

i didn't make a post. again. i forgot why..haha. hmm.....well yesterday wasn't too eventful........i aced the language arts test, aced it old school. higher than anyone except nick(zors)......heh heh heh. um......sooo...............i think there was a french quiz thing on like food and money and whatever else. erm.................................n2m in math or anything else that I know....

so, today, we took this random math test in 4th period, even though i'm in mr weid's, i sitll ahd to take it, grr....soo easy omg i finished it in like5 mins ugghhghg. presented my Quebec Poster of Death in social studies. lol artur had the battle of quebec too, he did like something completely different. i think dr jenkins cut him off after he said "benedict arnold"....lol.

aha! flashback!! social studies, we're doing the reading comprehension thing, so she's talking about it, she holds up an example graph, it was john olcese's, and everyone cracks up...the graph (line graph) is like an "M" with the last point on zero...lol...........funny stuff.
aha! wait! it's coming back. still on yesterday, we had band. i walk in and edwin's behind the whiteboards, between them, actually, barricading himself into the space behind them and in front of the dividers with music stands. playing his french horn. he stayed there like the whole period, lol....

back to the present.

another band reference thing....edwin and i are talking about the test.
edwin:"oh, wait, what was the additive inverse? it was 1/4, right?"
me:"noo, it was -4. we did that in math, remember?"
edwin"crap. then i got one wrong. just one!! because 2+3 is 6, right?? i mean i was looking at it, and it was like "5 5 5 6", and the six was just like screaming out at me...like screaming "pick me!". I mean, those fives think theyre so cool, jus tbecause 2+3 is five....

D'OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

lololol, good times.

got my etre/avoir quiz back in french (92)....i had one wrong, it was supposed 2 be plural, not singular. uh......lets see......more random crap in core music.......lunch...lol we had the talent show, so edwin's like making fun of it....

"talent....isn't doing a backflip. talent....is being able to do a backflip to avoid getting hit by bullets and doing a rubik's cube at the same time."

me: "talent...isn't juggling balls. talent is juggling flaming chainsaws, singing the bestest song ever, and doing a rubik's cube."

edwin: "talent isnt being able to draw well. talent...is being able to draw well at gunpoint, in the midst of 10 terrorists, one of which is eating french fries, but that doesn't matter."
" talent isn't swallowing swords. tale-oh. wait. it is."

so, then was the talent show. everyone seemed to think zoe durst was really good, but i cant say i did. i mean she seemed to have a good pitch but she was like yelling at us...lol......

lmao, the "fiber boys". they sang the "fiber song" from "cooking". personally, i thought they might win, even though they couldn't sing for their lives, for the most part, because mrs "ridge" the "cooking" "instructor" was a judge, "lol"..............

riley was in it, with ocnnor jordan , they had a little band thing, connor was playing the guitar, he had like this fake afro, lol, riley was on the drumzors. he's a good drummer. they won =D.

kim marino took second place with her uber piano playing, it was cool. i mean, if u dont count the people running the show being technophobic and having the piano volume set about 200 decibels too high....

um....science....tested surfacy board things.....lol, i forgot to do the homework, so i'm just trying to do it. luckily, she was busy explaining stuff...so i finished both sides before she came around, lol, and she didnt even know.

gym, we were in the computer lab (talent show in gym), so she tells us to type 8 rules of volleyball. so, after i finish making really crappy text effects in Word, i proceeded to type mine in some sort of middle english-modern day english hybrid language.

"thine hand shalst not touch thy net."

mrs scheiss liked mine a lot, so she took it and wants to hang it up or something lol............

z.

so, came home, watched some mythbusters, plotted world domi-

oh.

erm.........

hi.

lol, edwin and sean are coming over later tonight, i think i'll invite michael just for the hell of it, so bye..

theme skillz

2007-02-20T12:27:00.000-05:00

Hi again! If you read yesterday's post, maybe you saw some of my cool text effects...
I got this sweet idea...why not remake the blog with them? AGAIN!!!

so, as you probably noticed...........I...erm............did.

see? its all burning and cool.........heh heh heh.

so, um....i was trying to make my mechanical hand....but i ran out of copper wire.....=(
lol.....i'm watching the new rvb. again. it's funny............because the robot doesn't have any arms...hahaha......

sorry, knoxs korner...heh.

so, I downloaded Opera? its pretty sweet. its all black. heh heh heh.um...........hi.

soooo............I found how to make totally sweet photoshop lightning, so that made me think of the star wars movie i never got around to making....but i suddenly decided i want to. so taht's cool. more on that if it actually happens.

byes!

Textzors!

2007-02-19T22:35:00.000-05:00

wow! today has been cool.... imade some freaking sweet text effects. check them out...

I made more, but I guess I didn't save, not all of them came out too well.

actually, I LOVE this one, its the easiest thing to do, and it looks sooooo evil and insidious..

oh, yes. YESS!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

oh, right.

so, we were supposed to go out for breakfast today...lol, bad planning. Maybe that hsould have been thought through a little more... I think my sister woke up at......11? whatever. we went to panera and had what most people would call "lunch". i prefer to call it breakfastlunchzorsz()/\/\Gpercent-sign-asterisk-parentheses-exclamation point-colon-question mark. like this!
breakfastlunchzorsz()/\/\G%*)(!:?

I had amuffin. I like muffins.... mmm......muffins. my mum got some chips with her meal...fiona na dI were begging for them all the way home. so i'm in the back...I pull ou tmy mum's wallet.

"$20 for the chips!!!"
"put the money away..."
"sweet!!!!!! $20!!"
"waht? no, put it back in my wallet!"
"aww....here. u want a driver's license? i'll give a free license for the chips.."

well after that, mum drove me to edwin's, and I got the chips anyway. w00t. so when we got to edwin's we did something ELSE that's completely worthwile.

namely downloading every free browser available for windows and running them at the same time.

it looked something like this..

heh. heh.

edwin got hooked on "torus", which is circular 3d tetris...which is a widget from a cool browser called Opera.

ah, wait...here's the picture, it finished loading, at last..

click it for a better look. anyway, top to bottom, I believe that is Netscape, Internet Explorer 7, Aol Internet Explorer, Opera, and Minefield (test version of new mozilla firefox). we couldn't fit normal firefox on the page... oh well. ah.......nerdiness.

soooo.........moved on to halo...then halo 2. we spent most of the time there in blood gulch switching between energy swords and ammo-less rocket launchers triyng to make ourselves fly across the map. if you don't know of the glitch, odn't ask. it turns out that if you equip a rocket launcher and press "Y right trigger Y" really quickly while teh reticule is red and hold y the second time, you go flying across towards the person oyu were pointing at. it works with any weapon, apparently....i sucked at it, i had better luck pressing the buttons randomly..heh.

that was incredibly fun. so, dad picked me up at 5. whoop-dee-do, we were in his Porsche.
so was my sister, unfortunately, relegating ME to the back. hello, mr nice steel harness bar!

*thud*

THEN, we had to go pick up my sister's boyfriend, relegating her to the back and me to the other back seat. let me explain the back seat. in ideal conditions, you have at most, 1 foot in front of you, perhaps a foot and a half. Things change however, if you're sitting behind someone who is
6'3". great!! so you cant even put your legs in front of yourself, you have to splay them outwards on each side of the seat. hmm. now wait! what's that? right!! this car is modified for the track. so its time for our good old friend, mr Steel Pipe Harness Bar Thing of pain!! This is what my dad hooks up his 5 point seatbelts to. oh joy. now if you move your head back to fast, you get a concussion!!! you know what? why not, while we're at it...add a FIRE EXTINGUISHER to the place where your LEG is supposed to be? i mean sure, it will be digging into your thigh and giving you moments of excruciating pain, but, who gives a damn? waait!! another great idea from the think tank! TAKE THE FREAKING SEATBELT OUT!!!!!!! that way you can have EXTRA PAIN when you go around a corner and have the only thing restraining you a metal handle digging into your thigh..

*sigh*

hmm......so I checked more emails from Jessie ( i made the theme for her blog last night), then called sean to invite myself over tommorow. too bad he HAS TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!! AHAHA!!

oh. you had friday off? screw you........

anyway, went over, played halo on his 360....fun stuff.....

he's like "quick! get in the warthog!" so i get in. "PSYCHE!!! i'm taking teh scorpion!!"

me:" i'll race you!! haha! im winning!!"

*BOOM*

'waiting to respawn-teammate is moving'
damn.....forgot about that turret....oops.

lol........

um, ate some cookies....owned the universe...sean gets into this cranny where nobody can shoot him, and I try to folow. i fall to my death, but keep respawning in mid-air right next to him.l and dying. and again. again....lol.....

haha. i ate cookies at his house. i like cookies. =D.

soo..........ummm.............i guess I dont have much time to post, i'm supposed to be going to bed. eh, whatever...... byes!!!

Christmas Spirit!!!!!

2007-02-17T22:46:00.000-05:00

wow! today was pretty cool....jessie is in one of those murderous rage type of moods, mainly because I hacked her account...email and rs. damn, why did she pick TODAY to read my blog? lmao, she even made an online quiz about how she wants to kill me. check it out here, its hysterical, good fun if you're bored!!!

so, maybe the other thing was we went to the movies. turns out practically nobody could make it, so it was just matt, sean, and I. We saw a movie....it....umm......

er.......

sucked.

i think it was called "bridge to terabithia", and before you rush out to the movie theatre to prove me wrong, i should point out that it wasn't THAT bad, i mean.......we got a lot of good jokes out of it.

so, theres a trailer for some random movie, which i've forgotten, and one of those like "no cellphones" messages that tries to be cool by using characters from a new movie...

so heres this frog singing on the stage..
"I bet you're planning....what so say........to ruin the movie...for me.."

me: "YOU SUCK!!!!!!!!!!"

lol good times.....man, we were laughing nonstop throughout that movie. I think it was supposed to be poignant...oops.

'you know...what if there was a secret kingdom? that only we could go to? maybe the only way to get there is to swing across this rope.', she says, conveniently pulling a hanging rope towards her. "LESLIE!! u never told me you were psychic!!!"

"look......Jess.......your friend....she's dead."
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! we were laughing sooo hard................

theyre fighting these monsters in the forest.......they pick up these sticks, and the monsters tackle them, and they're sent flying 2 the ground.....fighting them off.

Sean: "they...........do NOT have ninja skillz."

lollolololol.

so the character is in Terabithia building a bridge, u see him sawing the board he's sitting on in half....lol...he's like hammering nails in, he suddenly pulls out an electric screwdriver with a cord running to nowhere.

sean:'what's powering that thing?'
me:"magic.....its a spirit drill; it runs on Christmas Spirit!!!!!!"

lol.....

so, in the movie, he's like "what am I looking at? i dont see it..."
"just close your eyes....you'll see."
so he closes and opens his eyes and sees like this whole realm..

sean:"its like he blinks, and it disappears. 'DAMMIT!'"

lol, good times!

so, i also started designing this bionic mechanical hand thing....its cool. actually, i've designed the whole thing, roughly.

there is is, in all its comparative glory...I did actually start building it, 2 my credit. I built the index finger, its cool....

so, i guess i'm off to bring something to the world!!

or....something. heh.

return of the HAX!!!

2007-02-17T10:19:00.000-05:00

Well, i've done some cool stuff. main thing is i've hacked into one of jessie's really crappy runescape accounts and changed the passwords. HA!!

man, she sucks at internet security.....I believe I got in on my....second..try?

yes. second. newland126, was it. usually is. I also changed the passes to all of my email and generic stuff accounts, so that's cool.

um....

yeah....

i'm hoping also to make my vacuum-forming machine today....

so byes.

have to go update the hax list..

Edmund

2007-02-16T21:53:00.000-05:00

hey, look at this photo I found!! its pretty sweet, its of this cool bird, whose name is now Edmund, because I said so.

wait! you know what??

maybe...just maybe....I edited this photo! maybe I didn't find it online!! maybe I used a photo I found in Jessie's email account, maybe I cropped it and edited out a random person's head!
maybe the photo looked something like this!

nah. I peobably just found it on the internet.

=p

hax!!!!

2007-02-16T17:04:00.000-05:00

Whoops! I guess I forgot to make a post yesterday, so sorry peoples. I guess I was too busy haxing ppl. I got a rare conversation in with jessie though, she almost never comes on..

u can click for a better size, if you're really into that kind of thing..=p

so, yesterday wasn't 2 interesting. well, actually it was, but not really school-wise, as far as I remember.

ah, wait. that's it. we had a 2 hour delay yesterday, hurrah!! got another 100 on the reading comprehension war for social studies......erm.....worked on the screenplay things, i believe....uhh.......hi.

truth is, i forget things like this. so. I probably screwed a little with sean's email, one of those things i've hacked...

then I decided to hack jessie to see if anything interesting was there. sorry, that sounds weird. hack jessie's email account....I believe it took me....5 tries? she's like computer-illiterate, if thats a legitimate term, which i isn't, shut up. and if it is, shut up anyway. this is my blog, punk! =p

so, i spent a few hours poring over her really old emails, she hasn't deleted a single sent message since February.

ah, yes, i'm sorry. i mean last february. one year and 11 days ago, when she first got her email. apparently she's still in touch with at least one of her friends from england, i was reading their emails...here's the friend. her eyes creep me out...

ah well, not important.....she looks a little like jessie's sister. eh, whatever.

soo....also read some emails from Rachel Schmitt, who Jessie worked on her charles dickens project on.....and the chats from when she and michael and rachel roller did their project for french....wow, she never does anything! oh, right. hi, jessie!!!

i was just posting about you....how about that...

soo....also a ton of random crappy emails from her 'friend', amanda resnick....who's like much younger and her neighbor and somehow convinced that they're best friends. jessie says she's really annoying, and after a few emails, i'm inclined to agree.... apparently Jessie likes Jon Whalen though, she said as much in the email......

O, ok, then I'll tell you his name- Jon Whalen

hmm.....interesting...

haha...talked to edwin and mike on her account, I love the display picture....(see above)

HAX!!!

good times.

sooo.....today....went in late, my mum insisted that i practice math for the test, which i got a 9/11 on, coolness. in social studies, michael was evil and told jessie how i hacked her email...DAMN YOU, MICHAEL!!!!!!!

more generic stuff, in french we learned about the Euro, core music, i just sketched in my uber sketchpad..........math, test, science, random crap.....then we had some really boring assembly during 8th about tobacco....lol i'm sitting the row in front of olivia latran, suddenly she says something about me, i just snap my head around really quickly..

"yesss?"

lol, good times. luckily i got out of that hellish assembly because of an orthadontist's appointment, w00t! i got some sweet apple cider donuts from alstede farms out of that too. and the book 1776 from the chester library so i cna read it 4 extra credit in social studies....

so....

apparently, jessie hasn't changed her pass, I've set up a nice system to get into her email account......no new emails in it though....

i tried hacking edwin's account, its harder than I thought it might have been. hmmm....

so..

oh right

he's reading this.

hi, edwin!

heh.

heh heh!

so.....we have a 4 day weekend, w00t!!!
i love long weekends..

so, stuff to do, byes everyone!

shooting stars

2007-02-14T20:52:00.000-05:00

sweetness!!! 2 hour delay tommorrow. wow, our school district is paranoid....first they cancel art club because of a few clouds, and now a random 2 hour delay? heh. i'm not complaining.

well, actually, I am, about art club.

shut up. no one likes you. =p

anyway, I finally have the basic shape of my Lockheed F-80 shooting star design down in autoCAD. it takes forever, because i dont know anything better than importing an image and tracing it line by line. ugh...

anywho, here you go:

hehe. it doesn't look like much, addmittedly, but i need to add the formers, stringers, and whatever else in. post more when I actually start building it.

poof! i'm gone...

Shovelage

2007-02-14T18:34:00.000-05:00

i just got in a few minutes ago from choveling our little walkway thing free of snow.

we had a snow-day, btw.

HURRAH!!! SNOWDAYS OWN!

so. I, being so smart and all, decided to go and throw the snow upwind.

*splat*

man, i'm old now. brrrr!!!

so, i guess I got alittle "into" allegiance, I owned edwin this mornign, but we were playing for 3 and a half hours. that is such a biased game. his team started out with ripcording (teleporting)!!!
i researched three levels of it and still couldnt do it! and he could make capital ships, too. grrr...

although apparently the server stopped existing so we wuldnt kill anything that we built, just each other, lol. so here are the scores.

I owned.

w00t, me ftw!! i played some bf1942 but the servers were empty, so i did something else.

i forgot what happened there. between. oh wait! no! i helped my mum with some bulletin board she's making for school. i drew an ubersweet Indian dude for it.

then i designed and started making a balsa stripper. =D

then back to bf1942. more people were on, it was Kursk. the other team, with all the clan members on, had all the command points and were bombing our base and owning the hell out of anyone who tried to escape. so, I, using my uber skillzors, waited for them to drop the bombs and fly away, and while they did, I ran out and jumped into the river so they couldn't see me. swam up the river, climbed out miraculously dry as always, and walked towards the nearest command point. damn!! some idiot sniper blew my cover. he's a clan member, though, so if you're reading this, Sgt. Foster.....uh....hi! yeah. so, i shot him with my super machine gun (DP) that has 47 bullets in a clip.....stole his sniper kit, and kept going. man, that's some super foresight, right there, taking the kit. sure enough, there he is with his sniper trying to shoot me. BAM!!! dead-face. so, i captured that command post and we almost won. or, lost less horiffically. because then their spell was broken, and we took all the command post, and the battle became much harder, etc. i used my uber river-crossing skillz.

w00t.

so, i ws designing a model Lockheed SHooting Star, but i dont feel liek it, gonna go watch the simpsons and work on LA h/w.

so goodbyes..

maybe we'll have a delayed opening tommorrow =D

quiz zors

2007-02-13T21:24:00.000-05:00

sweetness!! i made a coolie coolie cool quiz thing. click the link to go there! take it, its coolness to the MAX!

in other news, something that I left out of my other post for today was the extra credit I got in math. we got this problem a few days ago.

"A squared minus B squared equals 20. What is the value of A-B if A+B equals 10?"

turns out that A squared minus B squared equals (A-B)(A+B). i got that. i didn't see to substitute for A+B, and get 2. so, on my paper i wrote

A-B>0.

and hey, since the answer turned out to be 2, i was right? mr weid didnt see it that way, so when we got out papers back today, i asked him about it, and after a little thought he gave me a point for creativity. extra credit FTW!

in other news, I keep hearing faint voices through my headset. uuhh.......uh oh. i hope theyre actually because of the headset this time....heh.

i don't know why, but i keep hearing things over the headset........its screwy.

anyway, i'm off to authorize autocad. bye...again.

super capping!

2007-02-13T17:12:00.000-05:00

Boo!! hello everyone. I was just playing battlefield 1942. Made a new online-techno-nerd friend.....coolness!! He said I was the best pilot he'd met. maybe that's cause i kept killing him. death from the skies. I rule the air when Tekk's not on.....

here's the last flag capture I got before I left.

OK, i steal the flag and grab a spitfire. Madmouse, this guy, is chasing me in another plane and trying to shoot me down. Now, when it comes to planes, Ijust happen to be SUPER SKILLED!!!! so he can't get a good burst in at me. so he decides to be all cheap-like and ram me. so we're both dead. luckily, i was right by base, so i grab a jeep and steal the flag from where it is. he, meanwhile, arrives on the scene in a plane, and tries to shoot me. I'm not half bad at driving, either, so he fails on that front. He bails over our base and steals the flag. I, however, turbo my jeep into a sandbag and thus launch myself and the jeep into a perfect trajectory over the base. I jump out at like 25 feet, but due to the magic of bf1942 physics, am able to land lying down without taking any significant damage.

Now, as I mentioned, I just happen to be SUPER SKILLED! so I, being the awesome being that I am, land riiiight in front of Madmouse, who doesn't even seem to notice. so here i am, lying on te ground in front of this dude, who has a machine gun btw. I shoot twice with my m1, but dont aim properly and miss. so he runs around me to the jeep, and i pull out my pistol. riiight as he is about to get into the jeep i shoot him for the 3rd time, and he dies on top of the machine. i return the flag and capture the enemy's, and then due the usual joking taunt thing, then leave.

skillz!!!

i'm really not that conceited, but it makes for a good post =)

so, language arts was blaaaahh, we did some journal entry.....social studies, we're doing a worksheet. edwin and I are ahead of most every1 else so we're racing each other, sort of. so I start reading, he ignores the reading and cuts to the 'chase'-.....er.....questions. naturally, he cant answer any of them, so he givves up right as i finish reading. he goes on to mis-interpret one of the questions, i win, woohoo, go me. he saved his imaginary honour by withdrawing. good move =p.

so.........french......yeah, the usual. i finished the work before anyone else, so I, being the lucky soul that I am, got to hand out workbooks. core music was fun, there weren't any wound effects for fireworks, so I made a custom one. its a combination of edited "Bomb01" and "popp". then I saved it as a .WAV in the "cool stuff by geoffrey A" directory I made for myself. also in the main loop folders........
=)

lunch was the usual blah affair, i had a muffin w00t! jessie gave me piece of fudge too, that was coolness to the MAX! more generic stuff carrying through into math.....omg! art club was cancelled! what the hell kind of reason do they have for that!?!?!?!?!?!? it hasn't even started snowing, and it's 5 hours later. WTF?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

ugh! so freaking annoying! science, we did some lab that "necessitated" wearing really old crappy safety goggles. so everyone takes them off after...
"my eyes hurt."
"oh my god!! the world is so colorful!"
"light! glorious light!"
"ohmygod! I braided my little tassel-y thing!!! yaaaay!!"

sorry. i like TPN . hehe.

so......I went to band, w00t. naturally, ediwns horn is back, so I didn't get to play the SHINY HORN!!!!!

I wonder if the horn could have a little....."accident".......

heh....heh heh heh

hahahaha!

MUAHAHAHAHA-
oh.

right.

hi.

so, got home, phil lent me his sherlock holmes collection book thing on the bus, so i read that a little, chatted with riley, etc......

right.

so, got home, and started some bf1942, as always. hey, is 5:30! i've been playing for over an hour and a half. huh! fancy that!

i get sucked into that game.....haha.

anyway. I'm going to work on my Pigman study guide for Language arts, do that random science homework, and work on my Sopwith Camel a wee bit.

so-es. bye!

uber pilots

2007-02-12T19:46:00.000-05:00

Hmm........I guess I'm breaking m habit of daily posting. oh noes!!!! anyway. uuhh.............

hi.

so.

wait, today's monday? oh!! nvm THAT then.

chorus was this morning, generic coolness on that front. language arts, we did this thing about trying to "sell" a 'product', product equating to a random object she gave us in a paper bag. um.

social studies......boring work in our texts, band...band......played the shiny horn w00t!!! coolness there. french.......normal french period, but she's threatening to give us lunch detentions if we're late for class 5 days in a row. in a week, actually.

crap.

*curses*

core music, we worked on our "screenplays", ughh.......

lunch. hey, I ate food during lunch! w00t. no, lunch was pretty cool. my juicebox was defective...again!!! stupid little straw.......grr...
so jessie's like "anyone want to go buy me a snapple?"holding up a dollar. every1 ignores her
she holds up another dollar, and i'm like "haha! do i get to keep it?" and i grab it and run off.
turns out the machine wasnt working. it stole her dollar. i saw benny, he's like "did the machine take your money?"
"yeah, but no worries-it's jessie's anyway!"
"psh!! who cares?"
so i crammed the other dollar into my wallet and made up some random lie about me losing it in the other machine. w00tness. free money. go me!

oh. hi, jessie. heh. this is sorta awkward.........

math, we did more random algebra 1 stuff.......science, we did some random lab thing.....so nothing interesting there.

health, worked like mad to finish my "fitness plan". so io'm like chatting with edwin:

"ha! don't worry we dont have to actually DO them!! haha!!"
"But what if we did? "aww!! I put 5 hours of mountain climbing into mine....."

newspaper headlines: Hackettstown family moves to Himalayas.

heh heh heh.

I got a 97 on that test, but she couldn't read an answer so i read it to her and she marked my grade up 2 a 99 w00tness.

so i got home, and I found my awesome model kit my mum ordered for me. in case I didn't tell, which I"m too lazy to confirm, even with mozilla's awesome tab browsing skillz, my mum insisted on buying me a present for doing well on my math test. My choice went to a 45-inch span R/C Fokker DVIII from Dare Hobbies. so that was here when I got home....My sister's being annoying as usual.

"so, do yooouu have a val-en-tine??"
*rolls eyes* "do you?- oh. wait....stupid question."

she just cracks up. grrr!!!

i got sucked into bf1942. again!!! I was dogfighting this dude called.......nvm i forgot his name. forget I said that. anyway, i think they turned FF (friendly fire) on, so this IDIOT sees me emergency land my Yak 9 to recover the flag, so he strafes me and kills me. he's on my team. then he team switches. so i'm in a plane and i see him trying to kill the flagcarrier and BAM!!! I just zoom out of the sun and kill him from like 1000 yards. man, i'm unstoppable in that spitfire =D

I also watched a cool program on the history channel: Dogfights. It's about different air battles and eras and stuff along those lines. its awesome, they create these maazing computer animations of how things went down based on pilots' eyewitness accounts. man, this MIG pilot was awesome.....It was showing about this one dude's dogfight, and he's chasing a MIG. the MIG does a downward loop and pulls up like 30 feet above the ground. no joke!!! so the two are down in this riverbed barely above the ground duking it out. the sabre pilot's plane got dented from rocks that were thrown up by the other guy's "wake". wow.... so the mig pilot eventually dodges his way back to his base, but the sabre pilot PWNS and shoots him down. the awesome MIG dude tries to land but ends up crashing into the parked planes and blowing up the airfield. poor guy. he was cool. coolie coolie cool!

anyway, i was watching secret luftwaffe aircraft of ww2, but i've seen it and I don't feel like watching it, so. um. if sean still wants to, i guess its off to bf1942. again.

byes!

Heatage

2007-02-11T10:23:00.000-05:00

Hello, everybody! sorry about not making a post yesterday, but I think I"m addicted to StumbleUpon, and I"m not sure that's good. anywho, here's yesterday and whatever else i've missed.

oh, wait, I missed friday, too. ah screw that, i've forgotten what happened. I think we had the social studies test....yeah. I got a 93, which is pretty good. edwin got an 82. ha ha!!! also had some health quiz, and some random stuff which I've long since forgotten.

so. yesterday, I woke up and made some UBER DONUTS!

from scratch. I would have taken a picture, but they were gone pretty quickly. what can i say? they were just that good. =p

umm....I also beat the Battlefield 1942 campaign for the first time, I kept getting stuck on "battle of the bulge" on the other computer. that's a realllyy hard map. anyway. sometime about mid-day, my dad fixed the heating. HEATING!!! GLORIOUS HEATING!!!!!!

also, I got hooked on Escape the bomb which is a really aggravating game. I won. go me.

it's not like I....dunno.........cheated, or anything...
nah......it's really more like "help"

yeah. i got some help. about time. =p

I also worked on a few planes yesterday, but it was a typical computer marathon for me.

except i discovered something freaky.

MY COMPUTER IS POSESSED!!!!! ITS WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH MY PRINTER! ITS ALL A GIANT CONSPIRACY!! HELP!! HeLp!!!!!

let me explain. my dad's always after me for not turning off the printers, lights, etc. we're just the average energy consumption freak family. so yesterday, my dad walks in and just turns off the printer. See, i didn't even tunr the printer on. the printer turns ITSELF on. it just sits there, all smug, and is like "ha! i don't have any ink left, but I can still activate myself. what now, punk? WHAT NOW????"

so my dad turns it off. then the computer starts beeping at me and just turns itself off.

this has happened before.

although...the printer is off. maybe we forced it into an unconditional nonverbal surrender.

yeah, sure. why not.

edwin directed me to this sweeeet space piloting game which I downloaded. its like a less varied version of freelancer, which I own at. anyway, played that 4 a while.

later, i downloaded StumbleUpon and spent forever jsut stumbling around the virtual world finding cool sites. i found this ubersweet video of this cool optical illusion, its really weird....

I spent a while just taking those random tests online that are supposed to tell u what type of person you are, mainly because I didn't have anything better to do. Some of those surprised me, i have to say. whatever.

so, today. I think we're going to New Hope or Lambertville, to see one of my dad's like school friends and his family. we haven't seen them in like a year, apparently. so, i woke up late, hoping to prolong this, because i dont like going to new hope. grrrr.

r.

we're probably still going, but we haven't left yet. duh.

I spent a while trying to paint my Focke Wulf F.W. 190 with my airbrush. the model varnish (because oyu can't call it "dope" anymore) dries in like 5 seconds, so its almost impossible to airbrush it on. oh well. that's the end of THAT chapter.

it worked though. go me.

I also saw a cool documentary aobut african american tankers in ww2, the 761st division. that was cool.

um......I guess....not much else is happening? sure. let's go with that.

yeah.

House of the Dictator

2007-02-08T19:30:00.000-05:00

ahhh!!! the heating's still not fixed. *shiver* no seriously. its freaking freezing in this room. anyway, i had brass band this morning. played coolie coolie cool music, discovered that Miiiiiiiiiiiihhh, the phoenetic name for "mission impossible" is even more impossible-esque than i though. to play. grrrrrr.............oh well, it sounds sweet anyway.

langauge arts was cool, i guess. decided that jessie sucks at peer editing because she missed all the mistakes in my story, which i found later. and it was typed! come on. cheap. social studies, played a review game, matching, of course by the time i got to go all the ones i knew had been taken. grrrrrr!!!!!!! darn u zach schmitt!!!!!!!

french...french.....some sub, we watched a movie that was supposed to be about visiting paris, with this idiot who's like "eiffel tower? interesting...never heard of it". like wtf?!?! anyway, half the movie was about paris fashion and how people randomly go around kissing each other there, dont ask. flex, got to play the shiiiny horn, the very official name for the nice Yamaha french horn, the nicest one the school has. edwin's supposed toplay it because his is being repaired, but he doesnt like it!??! wtf!??!?!? anyway, i'm happy, he plays mine and iplay the shiiiny one.

just have tobe careful not to mess with the slides. pat petersen plays it usually he gets so pissed if u mess them up lol...

core music, everyone wanted to listen to my grooooooove tune, and they all thought it was sweet. sweet, sweet. I started trying to re-create the james bond theme, which is going fairly well.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

yeah.........no idea.

i was a wee bit late for lunch, I went across the hall to art to see my mask, and spent like 10 minutes takingit out of the mold. and it is awesome. MUAHAHAHA!!!!

ha.

ha.

math, got a 95% on my test, w00t, science.......had a giant test thing, coolness. health, almost fell asleep. funny stuff in health. I ditched the "fitness plan" idea and came up with the "megalomaniac home" idea. here's my plan.

OK. So, you walk through the door, and BAM! you're in a giant hall. like 50 foot ceiling, steel plated walls, there are also sconcet-mounted torches along the walls, a few odd tesla coils dotted symmetrically around the place....the works. then at the end, i have a chair with like a 10-foot back. this is a swivel chair btw. in front of it is an EEVIL desk, and in front of it, a big trapdoor thing. Then, i have a suspended walkway going around the room, onto which is crammed a full symphonic orchestra and choir. So that I have the perfect music for any occasion. anyway. you walk in, and the timpanis start beating slowly, and the cellos and basses play menacingly. you walk up before me, the basoons and tubas come in slowly, and you stop. suddenly, I swivel
around in my chair with my fingers steepled and say "aahh.....I've been ex-PEC-ting you..."
then you're like "yeaaaahh OOOOOOK!!!!" and just like take a step back and the music gets louder and oyu hurry up and then you start running and the music gets really fast and I start shooting u with a laser gun and a personal army appears out of nowhere and u run out, slamming the door, and...

I take a sip of orange juice.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!! THERE"S NO MORE ORANGE JUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

and the choir kicks in with a little of mozart's requiem.

this is the revised plan, u see. originally, i had called for an organist on the roof, wh ocould play menacing music, but this just seemed irresistable. I also wil have some suits of armour along the walls. And maybe a rock band up thre in the rafters

u know, I run in.
"Z()/\/\G!!! 160% on my math project!!!!!!! awww yeeeahh!!!!!"
*rock music*
oohh yess.. oh yess!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!

no, seriously, I so want to do that. like how sweet would that be?!?

anyway, not too much of interest here. so.

freaking cold....

2007-02-07T18:38:00.000-05:00

omfg...its so frekaing cold in here. i think i might have fixed the heating with my UBER SKILLZ!! so although my fingers are numb after <5 mins, I thankfully can't see my breath fogging. maybe my eyesight is deteriorating. ehh, whatever. so, here are the past few days, or at least the highlights.

yesterday:
got a project in language arts taht involved making a comic strip for the purposes of learning about dialogue, had boring social studies period. french, i got a 100 on my test, go me!!!!!!!!!!! annnyywayy, core music, worked on my generic piece, lunch, did nothing interesting, math, just had a work day ugghhhhhghhh..... science, did something which I forgot about. right!! we did a coolie coolie cool quizbowl thing... same with health.

so i spent like 2 1/2 hours working on my comic strip for language arts, but also made PIZZA!!! from SCRATCH!! and it....was....AWESOME!!!!! oh yeah. OH YEAH!!!!!

oh. right. here:

that's half onion and half tomato. (toh-maht-oh)
today:
select chorus this morning
did a fun project (language arts), or at least started it, involving those Sweethearts candy, where we have to use the little mesages as dialogue. lol one of them says "fax me". lmao wtf??

social studies, read a play about John Zenger, french, did stuff, core music, I got my "groove tune" graded. I got an A+ on it, like all my other pieces. in fact, he told me it was thebest he'd ever heard. i think the cool thing was how it started out as a classical piece then had this sweet intro into the techno-type thing. i'll post it once i bring it home haha!! i had lunch detention for not bringing my report card envelope, didn't care really. lol everyone made a big deal of it though ("GEOFFREY had LUNCH DETENTION???"). math, wasnt too interesting, reviewed for the assesment tomorrow. science...dull as usual. health, also boring. lol actually we're learning aboot muscles and stuff, one of the questions on the worksheet was "can u think of any other ways to exercise these muscles without using weights?"

"No."

that was my answer. she made me change it. grr!!!

then there was art club, we're making masks, mine is going to be a pilot (masks represent personality), so i molded it out of plaster. of course me, being the original and different soul that I am, decided to use the mould as an inverse mold instead of....actually molding it over it like everyone else i'm moulding it inside it so it will be smooth. so i got a ride from mrs woolston home, thenm i spent about an hour searching for my wooden recorder so that I can play the accompaniment for the renaissance song that Select is singing. I haven't played the recorder for what......2 years? 3 years? good thing i still remember all the fingerings. being the best recorder-ist in school for 2 straight years has its benefits =D

the french horn fingerings kept screwing me up though.....whenever I saw a "C" I would always take all my fingers off instead of putting them all on. eh, whatever, I can play the piece just fine now, so.

um........

yeah.......

i'm leaving.

byes.

oh wait. my bad. i can still see my breath fogging.

side seat sniper

2007-02-05T16:35:00.000-05:00

Hmmm.......looks like I forgot to make a post. or, alternatively, i was dodging it. yeah. um..........

hi.

well on saturday, edwin and sean came over at like seven, or, in edwin's case, like 7:30. he brought his Xbox, played some cool HALO where i totally owned sean and edwin just sat doing his rubik's cube. actually, lol, we were in blood gulch, he was behind a rock and I was on top of one of the bases. sean starts jumping up and down to annoy me, and he's like "haha!! nice reflexes" after I miss. he jumps up, and I shoot him in the head. lol............................. actually the fun thing there was warthog wars. that involved getting into the warthogs and A:ramming each other or B:ramming the other person, who has to dogde you. that was fun, you can do some amazing flips like that. the other fun thing about that was Side Seat Sniper mode. most of the time, at least one of us had a sniper rifle, so we (me) would sit in the side seat and snipe the other (sean). or, i'd ditch the warthog altogether and pistolsnipe him. that was pretty cool too....haha.

anyway, not much of interest happened yesterday, turns out I didn't make it into regions, but whatever, not too surprising. um, today, we had the evil fat dude for a sub in language arts, ugh, he's........well, EVIL!!! anyway. social studies, was, as usual, the only person answering any of the questions, for the most part, plus I handed in my awesome magazine thing. band......not too interesting, we played the usual boring american exultant thing but were able to play moscow 1941 as well. Edwin ruins that one, he plays it sou loudly that it sounds like crap. oh, right. hi, edwin. ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........
more of the typical random people talking to me, some random flutist i sit behind now turns to me and is like "are u still going out with mishka?". i still don't know how these people know me....weird.

so!!! french, only got a 103 on my quiz, which I guess is still pretty good, if you stop to think about it. uhh......core music was insanely dull, my headphones decided to go die, so I spent the time wandering around and eating cashews. which I got in trouble for. heh. heh. stupid peanut allergy law thing. lunch, boring, except edwin drew quite the crowd doing his rubik's cube. math, maybe the highlight? 160% on my project!!! no joke!!! i got a freaking 37/22!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

GO ME!!!! anyway. edwin was doing the cube, again, so i'm timing him, he puts it down on my desk, done.

"you suck!!! that took you a whole 1:50!!!! what's ur problem!?!?!?!?"
good times chucking it at him for him to finish, him turning around with that look of confusion in the like second before it hits him..haha. Science was dull, i forgot what happened, i think it involved like some story we had to write over the weekend. yeah, that's it. heh. heh. health was boring too, but hey, what are u going to do? well now that you mention it.....

walked out to the bus, nice cold weather =D, impressed Riley with my uber hovercraft design.....

so there it is, all its reflective glory, or something.

btw, GHoverT stands for
Generic
Hovercraft
Thing

got home about an hour ago, i've spent the time emailing and watching old RVBs. sooooo

AWAY!

can i have that in dumbass?

2007-02-03T17:25:00.000-05:00

lol, i guess its one of those random anecdotal commenty things i always leave out of my posts due to forgetfulness. aaaannnyway, i'm in core music, and amanda is working on her math homework, but she doesn't get it, so she's like "geoffrey!!! you're smart!! how do you do x+y=3??"

"well, if you're going to graph it, you'd want to add negative x to each side to cancel it out, because you have a positive x on one side, and you need to convert it to standard form to graph it........"

and everyone just stares at me.

John wallace: "can we have taht in english?"

me:"it was in english; you just didnt understand it."

john:"then can u translate it into dumbass for me??"

lol........

uber regions!

2007-02-03T14:21:00.000-05:00

well, i guess today has been pretty eventful. It's the 3rd, which means that Region Band auditions were today. so, last night I went to bed pretty early, maybe.....9:45? yes edwin, that IS early. ha! hahaha!! anyway. then I had to wake up early as well, so about 6-ish. my dad just walks into my room:

"geoffrey, you should probably get up now."

"Uuuuuuuunnnngghhhhhhhhh"

*flops onto bed*

anyway, it was a cool morning, had some cool potato pastry things for breakfast, then headed out, sadly enough in the Depreciation-Mobile, econo-car, or, if you're one of those boring conventionalists, the honda civic. yilch! seriously we have like 3 beatiful sports cars in the garage and one luxury sedan coupe type thing, and we take THAT? uuughhh. anyway, so we drive down to LVMS, and my dads just like "ooh ooh!!! a big icy parking lot! its empty!! i cant resist...."

and here he floors it and slams the brakes on, and we start just doing donuts in the parking lot for like 5 minutes. then we go park next to another car and its matt walen and later he was telling me how jealous he was, etc. lol. aaaannyyway, after a little while we headed into the school, and we're about to leave, and mr white's like "ok, this is ur last chance to go to the bathroom for the next hour or so."

nobody moves, and at the same time the woodwinds just start walking out the door, and all the brass players just like run to the bathroom. lol....

it was cool though, i've never been to lvms with the lights off, it was awesome. anyways, we left, drove a while, got lost within visual distance of the school, drove past a few buildings a couple of times, ehh, fun. soooo then we got there, went to the warm up room. this was at a high school, and Z()/\/\G! that is one hell of an uber multi-purpose room. seriously. it had basketball nets, lunch tables, bleachers, sound panels, and a SUPER STAGE!!!

i dont know y i'm on about the stage, i just thought it was cool. anyway, hung around not really doing anything, then ran off upstairs to register, came back, fetched my horn, and did nothing, then ran upstairs again to audition. turns out that at my audition time, 9:30, there were 10 hornists. 9:30 is pretty approximate though.....I was number 4 and i got in at 10:00. whatever. headed back downstairs, stole most of matt's skittles, bought a sprite and some doritos. then i decided that pacing was the COOL thing to do, and proceeded to do so. lol. then matt starts launching the caps of his water-bottles by screwing them off quickly after squeezing the bottle. me and this trombonist whose name i dont now how to spell decided that he was definitely going to get sued for killing someone, so had to deny all affiliations with him =p

read my book (the lantern bearers), and played two games of chess against the same trombone player. surprisingly, I lost both times. he's really good, he probably plays a lot (he was practicing against himself), but the second time at least, i managed to pull down most of his pieces by stretching a web of rapidly spreading defeat. if that makes any sense. which it doesnt.

shut up.

anyway, read more, then my mum came, so we left. she took me to ruby tuesday's because we were both hungry.

ha!! lucky me. my sister got dragged off to Pennysylvania by my dad, i had region auditions, i got to stay home! ha ha!!

speaking of audtions...i wonder how i did? I think my scales were OK, but naturally they just HAD to give me the hardest freaking part of the whole solo to play, ugh! sight reading was probably OK as well.

oh well, I find out tommorrow, i'l post the results =D

so i have things to do, i'll play fable for a little, i guess. OMG! yesterday ihad this brilliant idea.

how.....about....i beat fable.....WITHOUT CHEATING!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!

pure genius!!!

i am so smart. =p

just my luck that i ask for an old cookie sheet for my vac-form machine just a week after my parents throw them all out. grrr!!!!!!!!!

i might design a random plane in autoCAD or something, no idea.

actually, edwin and sean are supposed to be coming over later tonight so i can kick some serious pistol ass in HALO and so we can do random crap. sounds fun!!!

anyway, erika and her usual cronies have been hard at work emailing me randomly for no real reason, so whatever. I"m telling jessie that she neeeds to audition for the stupidest character in Annie, so she doesnt have to act as much.

just saying.

anyway, edwins ranting on about how he has solved the rubik's cube, so i'll go see what the deal is with that.

until tommorrow!!

................or...later...tonight...when edwin hacks into my blogger account......

umm................

snipertime!

2007-02-02T18:31:00.000-05:00

LOL!!! so funny, i keep forgetting these little things, but in french, typical thing about teachers not liking ppl to chew gum.

anyway, mme. anuzzi is in the corner of the room, and she sees someone sitting like 20 feet away n the other side of the room and she's like "get rid of the gum".

lol sean barnes is like

"oh my god!!! You have like SniperVision!!!"

everyone just cracks up.....

"no, i swear, you can like zoom in....."

good times.

Fablezors

2007-02-02T17:38:00.000-05:00

fine!! i'll be the first to admit, I lied.

of course, i'm the ONLY one who can admit it, because otherwise it's an accusation.

BUT THAT"S NOT THE POINT!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

anyway, I DID in fact to some more editing. i changed the picture on the side, now it's my guy wielding a sharpening, flame, and silver augmented katana. the best katana in the game. go me.

anyway.

language arts was blaaah, i got back this picture prompt, she said it was a borderline "6", social studies, presented my uber poster, plus got addicted to this slightly unusual rubik's cube........

lol then band, I make a joke to edwin. he says something.

"no. edwin, you just killed it.

"I kill a lot of things......."

french.......did french....core music, finally got dan to write some of the "screenplay", and lunch. also blaaah.

aaaannnyywwwaay.. math was a little more interesting, i mainly did my science homework, which I got full credit for next period. haha. so...then was health. o lol!!! outside in the health hallway, there are all these snowmen, and edwin and I were laughing because one of them has like a russian flag on it, we're like "aahh!!! communist snowman!"
lol. we did this worksheet that had a picture of a van called the "bloodmobile" with all the different cell types scrawled on the outside. still, "bloodmobile" has an eerie ring to it.

lol.....so then i picked up my french horn, and, as the phrase goes, got "the hell out of there."

"there" being school.

anyway, so I'm just like walking up the slope, la di-dah, and i stop to do another of the catches on my horn case. so i hear like "hi geoffrey!!!" and, figures, its htis random sixth grader who i've never seen before. lol.....

plus we got report cards, and chair test results. I'm first chair in seventh, but i'm third in eighth. personally, i think that's a little cheap, Edwin having an extra 40 minutes per day to practice, but, whatever..........(inst. music)

sooo now I"m home. i think. unLESS *twilight zone theme*

edwin made another crappy podcast (sorry edwin), and I re-installed Fable and was enjoying the benefits of having the BEST FREAKING CHARACTER EVER!!!!

hahaha!!!

no seriously. i have almost every key, and all but I believe two of the Legendary weapons.

here are some cool pictures of my character, named Helios.

fireball!

uber evil spell Z()/\/\G!!

super lighting SKILLZ!

awesome omnipowerful godly spell thing!!!
"divine fury"

'stay back!! dont make me hit u with my uber frying pan!!!!'

the text says it all.

ok, that has got to be one of my favorite pictures of all time.

AIR GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elemental

2007-02-01T22:33:00.000-05:00

Well, it's off to bed for me. I've just squandered an hour and a half making this pretty cool font, Elemental.

it looks something like this.
it's a little small, being my first font, so size 20 is like the same size as this, but whatever...

being the perfectionist that I am, I'll probably delete it tommorrow and re-do it. ah, whatever. i have orange juice to drink and beds to sleep in.

wow, that was horrifically corny, wasn't it.

ah, screw that.

or in the words of a random meteor:

Fuck that.*

*you'd have to watch this random movie on albinoblacksheep to get it. don't ask.

Rubik's Mayhem

2007-02-01T16:02:00.000-05:00

OK, now that I've added a different favicon, redone the background, and added some new text at the bottom, I swear i'm done.

no, really!! honest!!!

anyhow. might as well cram in some little excerpts from life as of today.

language arts....did a picture prompt. AGAIN!!! we got exactly the same picture last year, too, and I think I used some of the same names.....lol. anyway, that was pretty fun. social studies, did nothing, because the poster's already done. just made fun of edwin. he was playing with a rubik's cube in social studies. and science. and language arts......spanish...math.....
hell, he had that thing the whole day.
anyway. french, blaahh, we had some test i finished like 5 minutes before everyone else and spent the rest of the time drawing planes on my french book. not without merit, because at least one of them was french. it was supposed to be a niueport, but I think i changed my mind halfway through because the front looks like a Spad IX. eh, still cool. then there's a very cool Dr1 triplane colored like joseph jacobs' inverted beneath it. i would have scanned it, but it's at school, and stuff. zors.

um..........core music....lol wroked on screenplays. let's just suffice it to say that Dan has an...."active" imagination.

"I think we need some more action.
"ooh! we can have a flying monkey in it!!!"
"that doesn't fit......"
"no, the sonic boom can make him go flying into the jungle, and...."

"i know!!!! he can be a vampire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

ok. shut up. at least when I made suggestions to Edwin, i was joking. OK??
grr...

anyway. um......lunch, usual blah, lol i touch edwin's rubik's cube and he liek yanks it away and slaps me. michael touches it and he yells "YOU DIE!!"
lol

uh......h.........math....not all that interesting. lol actually i'm like 'edwin, cna i see ur rubik's cube?'
and he ignores me, so i start throwing my books at him, and hes just like scary man!!! scary man!!! and he runs into the corner between the filing cabinet and the wall and it cowering there going "make the scary man go away!!! scary man!!!!"
lol. plus i made a paper aeroplane and wrote "open" and "close" on the outside and inside of it, respectively, and i hand it to edwin, and he's like. hmmm........*unfolds* oh. *folds* hmmm...*unfolds* oh. *folds*

over. and over. again. lol...plus mr weid says that we have to call him Mr Trebek or Alec during the factoring unit, and he didnt answer any questions unless you did. haha. um............

science. boring, we did some crap with these little plastic clackers, but that was pretty boring. I pulled the usual "drawing on textbook" trick. Health was pretty boring too, except i used her (driscoll's) rubik's cube and almost got the orange side. i ws cool, though, i let other ppl use it. unlike some people....*ahem*

anyhow, we're watching this movie, and it's like

"the heart is like a big pump"
to edwin: "wait....did he just say the heart is a huge punk??? you know, u just see a police officer like 'ow! stop it!! alright, that's it. u know, pulls out gun and shoots himself in the heart."
edwin:*laughs*

and not much else besides that, i suppose, reading some book :"the lantern bearers"
and getting frustrated because edwin doesnt understand that the reason i have 4 background wrappers for my blog is because I needed them for the original remodeled layout. sheeesh.h. *echo*

anyway.
I guess that's about it, today i'll probably work on my vacuum forming machine or on the Sopwith Camel itself.

byes...

Done!!!

2007-01-31T21:54:00.000-05:00

hurrah!!! i'm done with the page remodeling. absolutely done. I think. anyhow.

it's awesome, isn't it? hehehe. sooooo

um.

haha. its so coool.

fine.

I"ll stop now.

I see how it is.

Vacuum forming

2007-01-31T18:28:00.000-05:00

well this is the vacuum former itself. so far! so far. it's nowhere near done, this is the vacuum chamber itself.

so THIS is what it should look like when it's done. i mean, in NORMAL colors, not the random blue. I just thought that looked sweet.

see, I pull a vacuum, or at least a really low pressure region thing on the wooden box, which is covered with a perforated cookie sheet. i place a form, like a copy of what I want the onject to be shaped like, over the cookie sheet. then i sandwich some plastic between two square frames, and heat it up until its like sagging, and slide it into the right-angle steel supports, where the vacuum pulls it over the mould.

=D

hehehe. im planning on using it to make a coqling for my Sopwith Camel.

Fable's dirty little secret

2007-01-31T17:10:00.000-05:00

well I've just been touching up the new look. whaddaya think? on the left is my Fable character casting a spell. Fireball, I believe. he's like an uber-mage, he's wearing bright mage robes. and he's awesome. I uninstalled fable but I kept the save games. ha. I beat that game. four times. its really cheap....I kept fighting the dragon at the end, and every time i would completely OWN it, but then it never saved after. THEN i discovered that you have to watch the credits all the way through for it to save. Lionhead studio ppl are sooo evil, they add the most pointless crap to their credits.

"lionhead babies born during the production of Fable, TLC"

they even added the take out counts for different restauraunts during the making.
omg, that's so mean. grrrr.

anyway. my guy is awesome, that's the point.

language arts, we graded more picture prompts. still, even though they coudl read it, nobody gave me a 6. except mrs P, which is what counts, i suppose. in fact, she's keeping it as an example, and read it to all the other classes. hahaha! w00t.

OMG!! MICHAEL WAS IN SCHOOL!!!! Z()/\/\G4\/\/DN3SS!!!!!!!!!!!

core music, we're writing like a "screenplay", which i think entails creating a soundtrack of like some sort of event, like a story. Dan wanted to name our guy "Sidnal" ("Landis" spelled backwards) and kill him. nooooooo, not happening. anyway...

lunch was boring, i forgot what happened. um. math....also boring. presented my math poster, an dnothing else interesting happened. i'm getting a "B" average, which is great since i got like "c"s on all of my math tests. I am reall ynot good with tests. math tests, that is.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ha.

ha..?

anyway, everyone loved my social studies poster, french, I got to like act out wiht this stuffed animal this story, and i remembered all of it except one part, which was pretty cool. then was science, and nothing interesting happened there either. um...health.....yeah not too interesting. i drew a cool picture in my agenda of this fokker Dr 1 triplane coming out of the sun.....

lol PM homeroom, i ws supposed to give edwin this little booklet thing, so i run into his homeroom, drop my backpack, run to the back (bell's about 2 ring) and stop like 10 feet away and just chuck it at him. it was soo cool, it did like a rotation and a half in mid-air, then flapped open and landed perfectly on his desk.

one of those moments of my life that would have looked freaking sweet in slow-motion.

um, i guess I missed mishka....walking otu to the bus, but made fun of edwina little, good times.

o lol we had to create these star things for health 2, and theyre up on this board, i climbed onto a chair last rotation and taped mine to the very top of the bulletin board, and its smack in the middle too. lol.... so i looked this rotation, and of course, mishka's is right next to mine, which was cool, and erika's is too, which was pretty amusing. ha. ha......

ha?

um.

I've also been working on this vacuum forming machine. soo.....

bye.
