You all are lightweights. I'm around 200 lbs. I actually lost weight while in college too...
2 – Eagles, PHANTOMxTRAINERI'm a little chunky for my height (at least according to the doctor) but it's nothing too major. I kind of eat like a pig though so I expect that I'm going to get even chunkier once my metabolism falls behind my eating habits. XP
For the record, I stand at 5'9" and weigh ~150 pounds. I do work out...every now and then...so maybe that's why? I dunno, I just have sort of weighed around that much for a while now. Although I should mention a disclaimer that I don't have that much muscle from which weight can stem...so the weight is pretty much all fat.
In other news: Now that my high school has confirmed that I indeed attained valedictorian status, I'm debating whether or not I sign up for presenting the valedictorian graduation speech...I feel like if I did I'd procrastinate on it so hard that it would end up being terrible...but meh.

I can't get the "deep, serious person" voice out of my head for Scotty even if that's nowhere close to his actual voice.

5 – JDxImpetus, Dragonite, Eagles, Nytz, ShadeI don't even know how old I feel. I'm in my final year of high school and so I know I'm only technically a minor but I have a job where I'm in an important role, I had to file my taxes this year, I make car payments for my insurance and I pay my cell phone bill all while playing Leaf Green on my Game Boy. I got my acceptance letter for university and my parents were gushing over it all ("Oh my baby has grown up so quickly!") I'm going on a school trip to another continent in only 4 days and yeah. I'm at a transition stage in my life, and so far I've been enjoying it!

I know the feeling. A few months ago, I drove about 200 miles down the East coast. "Really," people would say. "Nice. Why?" And then I'd explain that I went to a massive video game convention and they'd sort of stare at me blankly.
At least I've been old for long enough that I don't get much of the stuff anymore. Unrelated, but I just recently realized that the units on E = mc^2 are kg*m^2/s^2 = Joules, like any other unit of energy, and that the derivitave of area of a circle (pi*r^2) equals the circumference (2*pi*r). And I used to say I was good at math, ha. |
First wisdom tooth pulled out today...
besides me talking like Sid the Sloth from Ice Age, I'm feeling fine!
1 – EaglesI had wisdom teeth pulled out once, all four at once. Wasn't fun. My face looked like a balloon for about a week :x
I take it you are getting the rest out too?
1 – EaglesWow, either people get their wisdom teeth pulled out late or I just did mine early. I had my wisdom teeth pulled out the summer before I became a high school freshman. Not because I needed it, but just because my parents wanted me to have them removed for some reason. Hmm. But either way, it was not an enjoyable experience and if you can avoid it, do so. I had no will of my own as an 8th grader so I really didn't care. Plus I had no precedent so I wasn't really sure what to expect.
You don't know fear until you've watched rain slowly transform into snow right outside your window. Nature is broken forever.
3 – SpikyEaredPichu96, Dragonite, NismoZI said this before, but I reeeeeeally need to get off Reddit. Maybe it's just the YouTube-related SRs that I hang out on, but I feel like every other thread I see there is either somebody complaining that they joined two weeks ago and aren't Pewdiepie's rival yet, or asking for pirated game links. Meanwhile, the few people who are legitimately trying to be nice and`or helpful get downvoted to oblivion anyway.
On a relatively happier note, I got back to school from spring break in one piece. Now I have about three hours before I have to go to sleep and start focusing on that crazy stuff called "work" again, yay.

1 – DragoniteThe weather here still can't make up its mind. It starts getting hot, then all of a sudden the temperature drops a bit, then it gets warm again.

So my Dad got Chinese food from Haggen for lunch today (which is super good by the way) and my siblings and I were opening the fortune cookies that we got with the meal.. And mine said "Eat your fruits and vegetables to strengthen your health." Really, of all the inspirational things mine could say, I happened to get one that tells me to eat more fruits and veggies. XD Although, admittedly, I don't eat near enough of them.
It's been rainy and gloomy since I left for school this morning. But one thing I love about the foggy sky is that at sunset it peeks through and gives off this pale yellow tint. Very beautiful.
1 – EaglesA little while ago I noticed that a couple of picture frames in the cluster of photos on the wall next to me didn't look quite straight... I then spent 15 minutes making minute adjustments to all of them and I'm still not entirely satisfied with the result. ._.
edit: There we go, I think everything's straight now.

1 – NismoZThere were some wild storms when we were heading out on the road. From storm clouds to light rain to freezing rain and back again. I'm surprised we didn't run into a tornado.
1 – EaglesThe weather here? It can't decide if it wants to be summer yet. It was hot three days ago, it was chilly last night, and it's hot again today.
1 – JDxImpetusJava ruined my online chemistry homework.
I am very technologically dumb. I would try taking a CS class, but my friend said he dropped out after the first week because they expected him to know too much stuff beforehand.
...seriously, how are you supposed to learn this stuff beforehand? If your high school didn't offer the course, then you're basically screwed. I also get very frustrated when stuff breaks, so maybe CS isn't a good idea for now.

1 – EaglesHappy Earth Day, everyone! What a wonderful day to feel bound to the earth!
Bound... earth...
Earthbound? Alright!
1 – DragoniteIt sounds like the local ice cream van is still playing Christmas tunes. I had to get several clips and stitch them together thanks to several helicopters droning by. The songs were interspersed with common fare like "Waltzing Matilda," "La Cucaracha," and "Home on the Range."
Clips include such classics as:
I did nothing today only because I did so much yesterday.
First I went to the gym
Attended a student panel where I had to answer questions about technology in the class room with other students at my college, I was told I did fine but I felt like an idiot who had no idea what was being talked about.
Of course the was free food there like sandwich platters and soda at the event and I got a 25$ Gift Card to the school cafe and afterwards they brought out the girll so I ate even more food.
It was so nice out I decided to walk at a nearby hiking trail which was nice.
I also had to help set up the media club set up the film festival where I also got free food. The film festival was cool because we had a professional film director as a speaker and there were some interesting films, some were good, some were hilariously bad and some lingered on for way to long but it was a really fun experience overall. I also took home a bunch of leftover soda.
Really need to get in the habit of looking out the window before going to class. I'm tired of riding my bike across campus in the rain in a tee shirt and shorts ._.
1 – EaglesToday I learned that there exists such a thing as Bible fanfiction.
0/10 would not even start.

2 – Dragonite, EaglesToronto Airport. iPads. EVERYWHERE.
There are seating terminals by all of the gates in Terminal C that have iPad Minis at them. And there are TONS of them. Like, more iPad seats than regular seats. They've managed to make "killing 2 and a half hours before the flight" actually enjoyable. And it makes me not look forward to the cheap-ass AirTran flight I'm waiting for.
Electrical tape is complete rubbish. My iPod cable is sort of broken (well, I think it's my sister's but she refuses to take it) and about a week ago I wrapped some electrical tape around it. Today, it's just slid off of the part it's supposed to be wrapped around! So, with no more tape on-hand, I wrapped a band-aid around it. And that works brilliantly.
So Gangnam Style hit two billion views today. Love it or hate it, we can't really deny that what Psy has done is rather incredible.
Wonder what's next.

1 – TwiggyToday I learned how to rip Wii games from the discs. Now to unpack them in Dolphin and see if I can find anything fun in the program files.
Oh and I started looking into Wii development, too. Probably one of the least useful skills I can have but this should be an interesting experience. "What did you do this summer?" "I tried to program a Wii game." "Wait what?"
Edit: Related, today I learned that there are GameCube games which are bigger than some Wii games. o-o
Edit 2: Super Mario Galaxy ROM hacks. I wonder if those are possible. Probably not.

Today, we discovered that one of our cats had been taking a dump behind the desk...for a whole month, since we changed the type of cat litter.
