Debate or Programing

Both the Debate team and Programing club happen after school on Tuesdays. Gah! so annoying. The Programing club has ended early so far because almost no one is there..... but debate is fun to. I wonder if I even have time for either one of them? Ah well a late nights sleep isn't that bad. But I am having a serious delima with these two. They have two diffrent groups of friends. I may be able to move the Programing Club but Debate is fairly immovable. Anyone know which one would be better for college? I guess its dependent on what you want to do. Debate is better for anything linguistic, but Programing would be better for well programing. I could try for both.


Oh and we just got a picture of two of our cats.
Aren't they so cute?

October update

The orange cat is Enie, the three kittens are new ones we got.
Invisa-cat was seen resently. He came into my room with me my brother and my dad. We locked him in for a while... yea we are just that mean. Coco actually snuggled in my brothers arms for a while! he is absolutely pitch black and very silky. If he wasn't so skittish he would be an amazing cat.

School is good so far. Just had a CalcBC test and probably didn't do to well on that, but then again we don't have homework tonight so thats good. Latin is fun and we just moved onto Catullus. I'm just kinda floundering in the poetry because they can do litterally whatever they want. Adjectives could be two lines away from the word their modifying. But its fun. Comp class is OK and I'm starting to understand it some more.

Dish Cat

Need more be said? Yes one of the fuzzballs climbs in the dishwasher whenever he can.

Hi again

So yea, i haven't posted for a long time but i think this is a worthy event. BTW i've got 5|<007(translation:school) and its busy.

So my oldest younger brother decides to have fun. BTW we only got 5 cats now, the three kittens of mamacat have been adopted and we are fostering a new lap cat named Orange Julius, or OJ for short. Hes cute and fuzzy, however he hisses at the other kats. I do hope he gets used to them because he is a total lap cat.
But anyways my oldest younger brother takes a fuzzball, one of the fuzzy kittens, the mamacat ones were the shorthaired, and pretends to throw him at me. However it is time for my two youngest siblings to have story time. So we get them hidden under the covers but still able to see. Then he throws the kitten at my siblings. But this that isn't the funniest part. After the cat is now theroughly scared he bolts for the litter and starts to go. Then I must admit I wasn't watch but the cat gave a nice jucy fart..... did you know a cat could fart? it was so out of place for a cute little cat who likes to eat human flesh.

Shoot.... 8

Yea. So we got back the three enies. But it turns out they have a mum, who isn't dead or adopted. So now we got eight cats. 6 kittens and two moms. I hope none of them die.

shoot, wonder how its going to work

The three smaller cats, The J's not the enie's who should be adopted soon, are going to get fixed..... yea.... That'll make it fun with our eight freeckin kittens.

History

So I have an amazing History teacher. Were learning about global history right now and studying the diffrent types of government. For a lesson he told us to write down the fundemental powers of the government. He then proceded to tell us to make them into governmental power balls, he told us to make paper balls. Then he told us a confederacy is where all the states, us, have the power and if the central government wants somthing the state can simply throw their power at the central government. He closed his eyes and told us to go ahead.
Afterwards he continued the lesson with union governments, where all the power is invested in the central government. That is not nessecarily a dictatorship, it still works as a democracy. However he then proceded to throw the paper balls back at us.
Finally he told us about Federalists, which is when both the states and central gov't have power. We got into a paper ball fight.

How many teachers tell you to throw stuff at them, He's freaking awesome.

Only 4 now

So today my father went and gave back three of the kittens. (hey you foster 7 cats, 6 kittens and one mother, when the mother only has 3 children and is a bit mean to the other three. You have to dump the litter!) Unfortunately, from some perspective, it was the three fuzzballs. We still have the mother and her three kits. It means less litter but also less cute kittys. At least we can help the mother get used to humans more. She is very shy/nervous. I believe she was abused, at least I have heard she was. We will only keep her for 1-2 more weeks but we useually cure cats. One set of cats we fostered were already being adopted before we even left the store. I guess we have a 'magic touch'. :)

Don't worry picture will come of all seven. I just need to use the computer that has them. I'll get around to it.

New Kitteh

So, my siblings all desired to get some new pets after our old cat died :( So we did. One set of little orange kittens we found were named: Enie Meanie, Miney, mo, and tiger. Meanie and tiger were already adopted so we only got 3 identical bouncy kittens. So we were planning on only having them for a day, because we said we'd foster a mother and her three kittens for a while.... we couldn't give up enie miney and mo.
The mother is very thin, she was probably abused. Two of the kittens are orange, just like the other three, and the other is white. The kittens get together well, heck one of the Enie's might have a crush on one of the others. However the mother cat is very territorial, she has hissed at the others.
So now we have 7 kittens running around our feet, every so often we switch which set of cats are locked in a room, so they don't fight, and I've already had to dump the litters multiple times. Cuddlebug used to never go poo, for a whole month, probably did it outside.

Its insanity, but i love it. My nose has been running alot lately so I may have allergies but ah well, their to cute. Some of the kittens (enie's i think) try to bite my hand and it simply tickles, their so fuzzy and cuddly. My oldest brother has gotten three of them in his arms at once, and got them snuggled with him while he was watching a movie.
We watched "I am Legend" Its a scary zombie movie with a moral. I liked it. But the zombies are very.... intricate, a bit to lifelike. Ignoreing the hiddeous zombies it is a good movie. Hunting dear in a race car, talking to dummys, and huge explosions. Also a bit of scientific reasearch.

My Cat

As I may have already said I have a big fat black cat. His favorite hobbies are sitting on your stuff, chasing neighborhood animals, such as other cats or dogs, eating, and sleeping. Actually his hobbies are about all he does, heck he even stopped pooing after we decided to let him outside. Cuddlebug, his name, is very cuddly, as his name states. He would sit on your tummy and paw it, after a while he would curl up and take a nap. When we tried to foster some other cats with him .... he isn't that friendly, but he likes us!

I love that cat. Today, however, our neighbor found him in his driveway, and he wasn't moving. Although he is cuddly and friendly, to people, he ran from strangers, heck he ran from us a few times when he wanted to stay out longer. It is so sad but hes dead. He died happy though, laying on the ground was one of his favorite things. I hope to get some new cats soon but he is a unique cat, so fun and cute. I'll miss him.... :(

First Day

Today was the first day of school. I have had all the teachers before except for one of them, I even have my freshmen math teacher twice. I'm taking Calc BC, Latin 5/6, english, history, and programing. I'm also taking environmental science AP but want to take AP physics. I've requested 3 times to get changed, one was even before summer even started.
It wasn't to bad..... I've gotten homework in all but two classes, only because one of them forgot to give us homework. It looks like a rough year but I think..... possibly hope?.... I'll survive, somehow.
Seminary hasn't started yet and I'm not sure when it will. Tuesday? Wednesday?
Other than that I really desire to have a great year, and get some good grades, presuming I am able to do the work, which I also hope I can.

Work

This is something I wrote and saved as a draft. I've finally found it.

For the past two weeks I've been working on my summer job. I work at a museum nearby and I worked on a Lego Mindstorms camp. Hey I get to play with legos and get paid, whats not to like? The kids are in or about to start middle school so they are well behaved. They loved the class. We build animals and lego catapults. They raced cars and had a sumo wrestling match. At first it was only cars and learning how to program, then they started to get into complicated programs.

Eagle Day Four

Yes it is day four although I haven't posted anything about it yet.

For my Eagle project I am telling people what to do.... so they can upgrade a computer lab. The first day I had my friends come and we cleaned it up, the cords were such a mess that the school was threatened by the fire department. The people were awesome that day.
Day two I got a fellow scout troop to help out, they were fairly rowdy and stayed in the gym. Although my scout leader came and helped. We cannibalized a lot of systems that day but thats about it.
Day Three: A church friend came to help out. We finished upgrading all the systems and installing the new OS (linux rules). I think we did the most this day, but we did stay latter than usual.
Day Four: We labeled the network cables, updated the systems, and received 14 new computers from a local non-profit. we got them installed and had the whole lab updated.

we should be able to finish it in one more day. Almost there!

I finished warriors: new prophecy and it was good. I'm glad that squirrelflight and Brambleclaw were able to get together, the fourth book was so depressing I almost stopped. It did end a bit abruptly, it probably could have gone on easily. I'm just glad theres another series. I wonder, did starclan know of Brambleclaws nightly visits or not? Did they make Brambleclaw the deputy because it wasn't long before he was gone to far? Was it just luck? Also the prophecy Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red.... seemed a bit exagerated. Sure it was nearly tragic but it wasn't quite as epic as the lake will run red. Although that part could refer to the bagers. Either way its a great book series. The authors are truely talented.

Today

Today was fun. Frater and I played a game called Thurn and Taxis. It is a multi-player game where the people do not interact/affect each other. I would really suggest it.
We also helped a family in the ward move in. They moved out a year ago but were unhappy so they moved back. They gave us lots of chocolates for helping. Their little kid is so cute and bubbly.
I also have work today, I'm helping out at a science museum. The camp I'm helping out is about lego mindstorms. The kids are great and I've done the camp before. Hey I play with legos and get paid, who can complain?
I'm almost done with the Warriors: New Prophesy series. I'm on the fifth book and its phenomenal. What I don't understand is that why doesn't Squirrelflight be more understanding. Sure Hawkfrost will be a pain, sure her distrust of him is well based, but why does she sacrifice her relationship with Brambleclaw? What in the world is there to gain from not loving him anymore? Bramble has said he would never pick any cat over her so why doesn't she try a bit.
Also why is Bramble giving up Squirrelflight for Hawkfrost? Sure Hawk is his half-brother but he could stop talking to him, its not like he will lose much. Finally Hawkfrost is obviously trying to take over all the clans. Why else would he consort with Mudclaw, sure he might 'believe' that Mudclaw should be the leader but that doesn't mean attacking another clan about it. Its loyalty to the clan first and it doesn't affect Riverclan at all if Onewisker or Mudclaw is leader.
They are both being fairly stupid. I also dislike how squirrel is starting to like Ashfoot(the Thunderclan warrior). Its like she is hanging out with him to hurt Bramble and that is simply low. It never even describes Ashfoot much.
Ah well its a good book either way. I just hope they work it out.

Youth Conference

Youth Conference was great. We drove to a place up in the mountains and camped there for a single night. We left at 6:30 in the morning on friday and got back around 5:00 on Saturday.
On the first day we registered and did a service project. For our service project (most of the Berkeley ward was in the same group, although there were three groups) we cleared on a grove and set up some log seats. After that we had lunch, the food wasn't too bad although it was fairly small. Then we got to listen to some speakers. One was about making your life better, another was about whats wrong with the world and another we simply sung a song. My favorite was the conspiracy theorist, probably because for the most part it was only us and the teacher. After that was dinner and a dance, which wasn't to bad. I find it funny that at the dances most of the people just get in a huge blob and don't do much. They jump occasionally.
On Saturday we had breakfast and took a hike to a area where an obstacle course was set up. We got in groups of 10 and did them together. One was having everyone stand on a small platform at the same time. Another was having everyone scale a huge wall. That was fun and surprising that we could do it. two of them were tightrope walking. The last was a single person one which was great. We were tied into a harness and walked acoss a rope that was about 20 feet (not sure but it would have hurt to fall, possibly break a bone?). Then we went on a faith-walk. We were blindfolded put into a line and then went for a walk. Then was testimony meeting and home.
Overall It was a great weekend.

Sane or Insane

Am I unique because I'm sane or am I simply normal for believing that I'm sane but in reality I'm insane? Isn't humankind insane and therefore each person is crazy? But everyone believes their sane so am I insane to think everyone else is insane but I'm sane or am I sane and everyone else is insane? Am I insane for thinking I'm both insane and sane? Isn't that a paradox?

wow I love logic problems. expecially ones to do with sanity its fun.

Hey I was looking for a word and found this website, Its all about english words that are contradictory
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_self-contradicting_words_in_English

Lost Bachelorhood

Should have posed this before but the day after I got to have the downstairs I lost it. A person from our ward went through a messy divorce and currently doesn't have any home. We let her use the downstairs and I can't anymore :( It is nice that we get to help her though :)
So far on my eagle project I have almost got the proposal ready. Its in essence ready but I simply need to get it approved before I can start. I should be meeting with the director tomorrow for the third time and it should be the last. After that I just have to finish it, with what little time I have. Ah well it'll be fun.
Right now I'm reading the Warriors series and its good. I'm starting the fifth book. Its a series about warrior cats in a forest and their lives. It starts from the perspective of a "kitty-pet" or house cat who want to, and gets to, live in the woods. Not only that but the main charicter suspects one of the most trusted cats in the clan of cold-blooded murder. Its a good series and I would recomend it.

My house

So our downstairs renters have moved out. Currently we are trying to get the missionaries to rent from us but they haven't moved in yet. Until they do I alone get the downstairs. WOOT I get my own house. My littlest brother and sister want to come down with me but they can't yet. Tonight is the first night and its looking good.
I need to replace my watch soon. Its currently falling apart, literally. The band has broken in one part but its still fairly wearable. It doesn't fall off that often.

Camp

Today was the last day of a camp me and my brother went to. Its called cybercamps. We did game design and it was fun. We used multimedia flash to design all the games and it worked very well. We got a lot of free time because we were just that awesome. no seriously they didn't have to ban anything for us however they banned alot of things for last weeks camp.
Also we did most of our coursework.
But the councilors names were, Bacon(in Celtic studies), Pancakes, Bagle(he wore a kilt on the last day and no he is not gay), and Biscut. They were all gamers, except Biscut, and were amazing.

Cloverfield

Hey I just watched the movie Cloverfield. Its a horror movie where an alien attacks Manhattan. It does not really have a story line but its scary. I would not really suggest it but if you like scary movies and have nothing else to do go ahead. People die, heck most of the people in the movie die, I can only think of one main character who doesn't die but we don't know if she lived. Its filmed from the view point of a guy with a camera.

Movies

I just watched the movie "The Water Horse"(i only watch part 1 though). It an amazing movie about a kid durring WWII who finds an egg. The kids father went to war and died. That same night the egg hatches and an animal comes out. Its a great movie and I would deffinately suggest it.
Another movie I watched was "Groundhog Day". Its about a crappy, rude, weather reporter who goes to a small town for Groundhog Day. However he wakes up and guess what day it is...... Groundhog Day! Yep its about a guy who gets stuck in one single day. It is hilarious and fairly good.
The last one I watched was "The Bermuda Triangle". Its a fiction movie about the triangle and what it is and why it exists. This is a long movie that comes in three parts but it is very interesting. The beginning is confusing but it could be I was only paying half attention and missed alot, I was working.

If you have time I would deffinately watch them. They are all really good movies and very fun.

yea

so yea... I kinda haven't posted a lot. Lets start with spring break, yea that far back.
During spring break I went off with my dad to see his mission lands. It was amazing and it wasn't sunny. For the majority of the trip we were in Philadelphia. After that we went to a small summer resort and it was weird. Then we went to DC for a day.
Philadelphia is great, its a kinda closely packed city so if you like lots of open space you might not like it. Many of the roads are one way which does get annoying but in general its wonderful. The food their is amazing. They invented the cheese steak and if you haven't had it I'll have to have you over. My dad makes the best.
We visited the liberty bell and that was fun, its still cracked and looks old but its actually kinda cool. We tried to visit the mint but we came when there wasn't any time left to get a tour so we did not get one, we did go to their gift shop and the stuff was expensive. It was amazing how expensive gold is. We also visited the place my dad lived during his mission but he didn't really remember where it was.
The resort town we were in was a beach town. It is so freaky, and great, to see a city the size of Berkeley and be literally the only car on the road. There was this gigantic 5 story hotel with a pool and water slide and game machines and we got the whole place, maybe only that floor, to ourselves. A whole floor of a hotel to yourself. Then we went for a walk on the pier and we saw some car tracks on the sand. But we went on the pier when it was raining and it was so great. The feeling of the rain and the soft patter. all alone with only the great gray sky above and your father beside you. the slight cold chill keeping you awake. it is something you have to experience to feel and understand.
Then we went to DC and visited the lincon memorial, Veitnam memoral, the washington monument and that area. It was great but even at 10 in the morning the whole days tickets for the washington monument was sold out.
In general it was an amazing trip and it was wonderful. I hope to continue bloging and will see how long it take before you see i'm bloging again.

Today

It seems that me and anna have switched emotions. My posts have been depressing and sad while hers are now happy. Thats weird...
On a happy tone we have started to talk about advertising in econ and its fun. Here is a good chinees coke commercial.

I made a better fowney face but the thing got rid of the spaces so its a cramped frowny face :(

Don't worry I'm still sleep deprived, crazy, and happy :) :0 :) :) :) :) :0

March!

Its march now and guess what happened on the 15th? It is the ides of march as the romans would say and its the day Caesar was assassinated!
Well yesterday I ran around stabbing people with foam swords and it was fun. Today I went to ultimate and it was tiring, but a bit fun.
Have fun and live free.

Time

Time is weird. Sorry I havn't posted much and this isn't much. I'm alive and succeding. Getting little sleep but am very happy. I am now trying to sprout random latin words all the time.
Question, if people are born today can they only get their lisence in 64 years? Also wouldn't it be frowned upon for a 16 year old to date a 4 year old.
Ah well, lucky me!
Don't lose time or you'll lose you. (ask if you will but i don't think i can explain)

Movie recommendation

I would really recomend the movie "the secret". You could probably get it from netflix. Its website is www.thesecret.tv.
The movie is about a secret of the universe, the law of attraction. It is a sort of documentary like movie which talks all about the law of attraction. In essence the law of attraction is like atracts like.
If you are at all interested in meta-physical things or ways to help your life I would recommend it. I'm going to try what it says and it seems realistic. It has been proven scientifically in some parts and relates alot to quantum physics.

Frustration

Sorry again about this.


If I may vent I would like to know.
It is so annoying when people are annoying. It gets worse when they continue for days on end. My brother has been calling me addicted to games frequently and whenever I don't do something perfectly for the past week. Such as yesterday when I spent a full 6 hours, six full hours (a part-time job might I add), studying science. Only science and not a single other class. Then add on the other 5 hours of school and another hour for seminary Its a full 12 hours. So when I start to play for a bit of reaction he calls me addicted and then mentions it again the next day. It is so freaking annoying! If I ever would swear sometime soon would be it.
This is all added upon a sudden paranoya from my parents. Today I went to ultimate Frisbee and then came home. If anyone can find something wrong with working out please tell me and I would work for you for the rest of my life, it has to be good and legit. Now my parents really want me to get the PE credit out of the way so I don't have to worry about it anymore so this is something they want, may I emphasize want, desire, urge, desperately need, this. They really want me to work out and to do more PE, without taking a PE class. Why I think they are paranoid is that when we came home it was dark, gasp! My mother blatantly started an inquisition on whether I had skipped it and was playing instead. May I mention I had no backpack, no money, no cards, no computer, nothing that could be used for a game of any sort. Also she said that she couldn't trust me. She eventually said she would take my word for it (as if) after both me and my brother upheld to her questioning. I believe it all spawned out of her fear of the dark, shes gotten paranoid about us riding in the dark.
Thats all of my venting and I hope its the last for quite a while, however I doubt it is.
BTW En-her-gy, Zary, father please respond by comments and not talk to me about it in RL. I would like to be able to think my answers through and have you think yours through. RL is much more fast paced and, well, realistic. You don't have much time to think it through and wait for emotions to calm. I waited before I posted and still believe it is OK to vent this. I would like it if you think it through before you respond, things never go according to plan in RL but they can online.

Sorry again.

Joyex Noel

If you ever can watch a movie I would recommend Joyex Noel. It is a French movie about WWI. It is truly good and portrays the war as it is, a senseless waste of life that went on to long. It shows how the soldiers have no reason to hate each other but still kill them. It is about the front line trenches in the war during Christmas time. I don't want to spoil anything but you should watch it.
BTW it does have a few bloody parts in the beginning but nothing to bad.

Sleep

Hey, I'm staying up late doing homework and felt I should post. Don't know why. This one will most likely change and well be drasticly diffrent when i think about it. I'm home with one brother babysitting another brother and its lots of fun. house all to ourselfs and we get to do what we will. however still got homework to do... got to do it.

Life

I suppose nothing much has happened lately. I have had school which is OK but takes up most of the day. My parents are leaving for a conference so that is going to be fun. I'll have the house all to myself with my two brothers, Jee and Zary. Other then that I have a new econ class that is really fun. Its fun enough that some kids made a face book about the teacher.
Its http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=35040860056
Other then that we are learning about WWI and the trenches, learning to read more latin, reading poetry, doing math and complicated chem.

Field Trip

Today I had a wonderful field trip. About 40 kids went on it. The best part is that although we get to leave school and not have any schoolwork, we got to go to ... College! We get to skip school to go to school.
It was like what happened in school once. A kid I knew from last year new someone else in one of my classes. He decided to go to my class instead of his. So he pretended to be "Sven" from out of country. Come on! If your going to skip school don't go across the hall. At least leave the campus.
Well on the field trip we went to a University and a state university they were both good and the food was all you could eat. However we got stuck in traffic on the way home and tossed riddles around.
One riddle was this
An Evil man invites 100 people to his house for a "party". He locks them in and tells them that tomorrow he will line them up facing one person so person 1 can see everyone and person 100 can see no one. He will put white or black hats on their heads and they have to guess right. One person is allowed to get it wrong but if anyone else gets it wrong they all die. They can't move or communicate in any way other then saying the word white or the word black once, also it has to be in a flat tone.
There is a way for this to work and I might post the answer latter.

A favorite word

I have realized what my favorite word is! 'Tis Meh. A noncommital nonjudgmental non-anything response to everything. I also found a black t-shirt with this written on the front "meh." Isn't that great?

Last words

I found a list of funny last words but I can't remember where I found them. Here they are.

Mr. French (electrocuted)
"Hey, how about this for a headline! French Fries!"

Another man (electrocuted)
"I feel tingly"

If you can find some other funny last words I would enjoy it.

Awsome WoW Raid

Me and my friends play WoW as a group and so we often get together to raid. As of right now we have a 33 prot pally, 35 shadow priest, 35 warlock, and a hunter. The hunter wasn't there for the raid but we were doing Scarlet Armory. During the raid we wiped a few times so most of my stuff, the pally, was broken by the end. Right before Herod, the main boss, my sword broke. I didn't have any extra so I needed to go back to town. Unfortunately I didn't have that much time so I started to use a light scimitar. It has ~11 dps no stats, its a gray drop.
We slaughtered him. A light scimitar is better then Herod, it was hilarious. A 33 and two 35, with the tank using gray drops and half broken items beats a lvl 37 instance boss. Something isn't right about that

Bike home

Hi I'm a geeky gamer. I play WoW, MTG, NWN2, and other various games. I also go to high school and bike home. I'm in a family of six, a mom, dad, two brothers, and one sister.
My brother, Zary, and I were biking home and talking about Noah and the Ark. A bible story about ancient times when everyone was evil but this one man wasn't. He built an Ark and put two of every animal into it. The sky then rained for 40 days and nights. Only problem was that the rain was approximately 5 feet tall.
One solution we came up to that was that it started as hail but when it melted it only raised the water level 5 feet.One problem with the solution is that the Ark would be demolished because, as Zary pointed out, it was only made of gopher wood. I then reminded Zary that gopher wood is made out of condensed gophers and is therefore impenetrable. We laughed the rest of the way home.

P.S. My blogs probably wouldn't be all like this, I could keep them this way if you like them though.
