More geekiness (and some “dork”)
I have no life. This has been established.
For those of you who also don’t have a life and are as geeky as me, here are two cool things to download:
1) This is a really friggin’ cool interactive Periodic Table of the Elements. You can read all sorts of interesting facts about each element as well as sort them by melting point, boiling point, mass, etc. Fun fun!
2) Wee! This lets you zoom around the solar system and orbit the planets. Very good graphics.
By the way, if any of you remember when I first emailed you The Desert, I would appreciate it if you would remind me–I can’t remember when I created it.
And ANOTHER thing–I find it interesting that we call socially inept people “dorks”. A dork is a whale’s penis.
…are whales’ penises socially inept?
Major confusion (no pun intended)
Yes, school is out, I’m aware of that, and yes, I’m still posting blogs under the category of “School, College, Greek”.
Geek with no life.
Anyways, I’m once again confused about what field(s) I should major in. I thought I had it narrowed down to psychology and theatre, but there’s so much I want to do–psychology, chemistry, astronomy, quantum physics (yes, quantum physics), art, theatre, music…all sorts of stuff. WTF should I do?!?! So much confusion!
Thinking about the infinite
That’s all I’ve got to say…very profound stuff.
Oh, and the senior party sucked…at least in my opinion. Really boring.
Meh.
GRADUATION!
I just got home from my graduation today.
It was exciting and very scary. Mr. Kaag spoke, which was cool, and so did Ben. They both rocked. I got a little bronze honor cordy thing, which is kinda disappointing (since I could’ve done better) but oh well.
Mr. Blount told me that I got a 99% in his class–the highest grade in all the periods.
Train o’ Rockin’…aw, screw it. I never have to go through physics again!
Now I never have to see Lead again, the little loser!
Off to the Senior Party!
My “to do” list for summer
Nagasaki!
So summer’s here. We graduate officially tomorrow, but I wanted to make my little “to do” list today and put it up here, with hopes that it being made public would motivate me to do some of the stuff on it for once.
So here it goes:
* Claudia’s To Do List for Summer *
– Make a summer to do list (wee! One down!)
– Write a book (this has been on my to do list for years. I can do it; I just procrastinate
– give away/give to Goodwill/take to landfill all my old crap that I won’t ever need again
– get stuff organized to take to dorm
– make a pop-up book about my friends
– Lego movies!
– throw a graduation party for my friends
– get a tattoo!
– read a couple good books
I just realized that I have a lot of lists in my blogs. Oh well. Obsessive-compulsive.
Stupid physics…(oh, and the last day of school)
I am very disappointed in my Rube Goldberg machine, which conveniently quit working when Mr. Blount came to check it out for a grade. It’s as if it hates me for some reason.
Gr.
But anyways, it is the last day of high school…ever. Kinda sad, kinda scared, kinda excited.
But mostly pissed about physics. It ruined my whole day.
Put on your happy pants!
So the year is coming to a close, and I feel the best way to end it (on my blog, at least) is to make a list of my most-remembered memories from our little lunch group.
So without further ado, I present to you:
~* The Most-Remembered Memories List! *~
~ The “family tree” I made out of my deck of cards
~ That creepy bearded guy cornering me while I had a pad in my pants and asking whether or not my parents would approve of me being “inappropriate”
~ Crab humping! (and “over capacity” Jacob!)
~ Sticking my clarinet case down my pants
~ Taking off my bra and throwing it on Aneel (multiple occurrences)
~ The whole “that’s not Gangrene!” situation
~ Tampy!
~ The tampon machine
~ “Boxing” with Hunter
~ Pissing off Alan (multiple occurrences)
~ Throwing M&Ms up into the ceiling with Candida
~ Those cardboard stilts in the bathroom
~ Harassing Ballerina Boy (multiple occurrences)
~ Taking butt and crotch pictures with my camera phone
~ Those Easter eggs–whacking them with my head
~ My reading of To Kill A Mockingbird
~ Crab-walking down the hall
~ Writing the Valentine’s Day poem to Aneel’s brother
~ Taking off my panties while wearing a skirt and then doing a cartwheel (thanks, E’raina!)
There are probably dozens more. Do you guys remember something that I don’t? If you do, tell me and I’ll stick it on here!
Random crap
HOLY CRAP IT’S FINALS WEEK!
Okay…now that that’s said, here are a few random dingy-bobbers that are occurring/being pondered/continuously going through my mind:
1) I am a geek. This has already been proven, but I figure the fact that I give people nicknames due to whether or not their initials make up a symbol of the Periodic Table of Elements (examples: Aneel would be Arsenic (As), I would be Curium (Cm), and you-know-who would be Lead (Pb). Nerdy nerdy geek freak.
2) I like fajitas (despite the fact that I have never had one).
3) I’m really friggin’ thirsty right now. For chocolate milk. Dang.
4) Pedro is hot.
Can you tell I’m bored as hell? I’m bored as hell.
Reading!
Since I’m finally finished with all my writing and project stuff for school, I could finally start reading for pleasure again this weekend. I just finished All Quiet on the Western Front—the 56th read book on my “College Recommended Books” list.
I’m so well read.
Makes you wonder why a certain someone won the “most likely to read every book in the library” award thingy in the yearbook and not me. It’s kinda strange, considering this person:
a) is someone I’ve never seen in the library…ever (and I’m always in there),
b) is one of those people who pronounces “library” as “lie-berry”, and
c) is incapable of operating a Xerox machine (see “Incompetent people suck” blog).
Eh. Oh well. I have light-up shoes.
My Rube Goldberg machine is genius!
YAY! I finally finished the construction of my Rube Goldberg machine! Now I shall get extra credit in physics which will guarantee a solid A in the class (and possibly the highest grade in our period!)
It works beautifully…except for the actual cutting part, which I figured wouldn’t matter too much, considering the fact that its working is only 5f our total grade. I rock.
Once again, it’s time to visit the…
Train o’ Rockin’ at Physics!
Soreness, the “flood”, and the Band Awards Night
First point of discussion: I am very sore from bowling at the Senior Sneak. Sad? Yes. Depressing? Yes. A good excuse for not working on my physics tonight? Yes.
Second point of discussion: Our school is obviously not flood-proof. We had some form of five-minute torrential downpour at lunch today and one whole hallway of the school flooded. Plus, when I got to band, half the floor (which is carpet, mind you) was soaking wet. We all had to cram into half of the room, which was a challenge, considering it was mostly full of chairs.
Third point of discussion: The Band Awards were tonight at the Junior High (which luckily wasn’t flooded). These were the thingies I won:
– Future Conductor Award
– Band Geek Award
– Garrett’s (our teacher) Pet Award
– 6 Year Award (only 3 of us got it–in normal years there are like 6 or 7)
– Leadership and Inspiration Award (I had no idea I’d win this one…quite a shock)
We had pizza and it was fun.
Sneak-olium!
Senior Sneak was today, and we went to Triple Play up in Coeur d’Alene (at least I think it was Coeur d’Alene) and it was pretty dern fun!
On the bus down I played Scrabble, cause I’m a geek, and I wrote a cool poem in Paula’s yearbook!
I bowled with Aneel and Paula, and all of us sucked (there wasn’t a score above 70).
After that we did the go-karts. If Dakota wasn’t such a butthead, I would’ve won (or have been close to winning). After that we got in the bumper boats and got Aneel soaking wet! Paula’s boat didn’t steer, and Ben had to rescue her.
Then we actually went in the water, and we hooked up with Tanna and went down these kick-butt slides!! They were so cool! Great fun.
Then we did the go-karts again, and, like before, I would’ve definitely won if Dakota wasn’t a butt. He made me wipe out in the last two laps. I was passing everybody else, probably because I was the only one who knew (or remembered) that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line–everyone else was hugging each curve.
So it was cool. Aneel was on drugs the whole time, and I’m not just talking about Dramamine!
Yearbook!
So we got our yearbook today…good job, E’raina! I liked the little quote you put in there about me and Candida.
I also like your butt. It’s hot.
That’s all I’ve got to say today. The Senior Sneak is tomorrow, so we’ll see what will occur. Hopefully none of the buses will break down.
Hunter, my dad, and Aneel’s issues
Part One: In Which I Discuss Hunter’s Deceiving Of The Attendance Lady
Although others (E’raina, Hunter) may discuss this as well, I want to put it up here first. So today we were all sitting at lunch and Hunter had his cell phone out and was on hold with someone (I dunno who). Then the attendance lady walks by and says, “Are you using your cell phone on school grounds?” (or something to that effect) and Hunter does this all innocent, straight-faced, “Um, I think my Grandma just died…my mom left a confusing message and I don’t’ know what it means”. She just looks away in shame and continues walking. It was so friggin’ hilarious!! Kudos to Hunter. You are going to hell.
Part Two: In Which I Discuss My Dad’s Ability To Mispronounce Everything
My dad comes downstairs last night and starts talking to us about how he and his friend Joe were going to go see a movie. We ask him how Joe’s doing, considering he had just had is carotid artery all cleaned out (apparently it was about 95 locked). Dad says, “He’s okay, his corotorraterated artery surgery was awhile ago.” We started laughing at him, since he NEVER can pronounce anything right. Oh well. It was funny at the time.
Part 3: In Which I Discuss Aneel And His Issues
Aneel has created a new word: elasticated. I will now define it for you:
Elasticated (adj.): being devoid of all elasticity, e.g. Aneel’s swim trunks
Aneel is having issues about an apparent “gray hair” that he found while trying on new swim trunks (not down there, you sickos!) and is worried that he is “prematurely aging”. So I say, “You’re not prematurely aging, you silly boy!” And then I recommended Just for Men.
I’m weird.
Memorial Day
Very few people know this, but I am actually a very patriotic person. I hold Memorial Day, as well as all the people it stands for, in the highest regard. Therefore, this blog will be short and sweet and to the point:
Thank You.
So much pain…(or, why I should get an A in physics)
I’ve been working on my Rube-Goldberg project for almost 6 hours straight now, and I’m only about 1/2 way through. These are some reasons why I should get an A on this darn thing:
1) I’ve worked for 6 hours straight on this project ON A SUNDAY.
2) I have splinters in my pants.
3) I have about 15 burns all over my hands from that dang hot-glue gun.
4) My thumbs are all bruised up because I have no depth perception with a hammer.
5) The floor in my room is full of debris from this project, and therefore, everywhere I step I either get splinters in my feet, nails in my feet, or wire wrapped around my toes.
6) I had a dream last night about my Rube-Goldberg machine coming to life and destroying itself.
I guess it’s my own fault–when I get into something, I really get into it and begin to be obsessed about it. Oh well. I’ll get extra credit!!
On a roll! (and apologies to Aneel)
Sorry about that “disappointed” business yesterday, Aneel. I was just having fun with my butt (among other things).
Anyways, I am on a roll with my Rube Goldberg project for physics. I started building it today and I’m already about 1/3 of the way through. I rock.
Train o’ Rockin’ at Physics!
Aneel…doubting me?
Okay…so this is the actual comment Aneel left on my “Jell-o Candle” picture:
| Aneel | May 26, 2006 9:05 PM
WTF how in the world did you make a candle out of jello? I bet you didn’t I bet it looks like jello anyways it’s cool |
What a butt! Aneel, that candle was totally Jell-o! You know those little Jell-o cup doodads? If you just whack one on a table upside down a few times, it’ll come out. Then stick a wick in it and light it and voila! Instant JELL-O CANDLE.
I am disappointed in you, Aneel.
But I love you, anyways!
Some pretty funny stuff
I have finished my physics, and I feel like doing something that won’t take a lot of effort. So here is my list of very funny (at least in my opinion) flash animations from various sites. A brief explanation is given, and I hope that, with these, you will get a good laugh (if not, please do not sue me. I have no lawyer).
The List of Happiness!!
– “The 5th Avocado“. This one makes me laugh cause it’s so damn random!
– The “Colin Mochrie vs. Jesus H. Christ” trilogy. Very interesting!
– “Everyone Else has had more Sex than Me“. I’ve posted this before, but I’ll post it again, cause it’s funny.
– “Irving“. I’m scared of bees, but not this one!
– “Mystic Island” series. I have a soft spot in my heart for these stick figures–especially Norm.
– “Which Backstreet Boy is Gay?” Self-explanatory.
Tell me which one is your favorite!
The Presidents, the Presidents!
I have no life.
Since the streets of our town are in no particular order (at least the Presidential streets aren’t) I live on Grant St. and Aneel, who lives one street down, lives on Cleveland St.
So I decided to see which one of our Presidents was the best.
I present to you the Cleveland-Grant Comparison!!!!
**President Grover Cleveland (the 22nd and 24th President)**
Pros:
– The only President to serve two non-consecutive terms.
– Reduced high protective tariffs.
– Saved the U.S.’s gold reserves during the depression of 1892.
– Helped out Venezuela.
Cons:
– His first name is Grover (a good name for a blue guy, but not for a President).
– Married a girl 22 years younger than himself.
– Screwed over Civil War veterans.
– Pissed off the railroad people. You just didn’t want to do that back then.
– 1st Democrat elected after the Civil War (Democrats were bad back then).
**President Ulysses S. Grant (the 18th President)**
Pros:
– Kicked the Confederates’ BUTTS during the Civil War!
– His memoirs earned him over $450,000 (holy crap!). But then he died.
– Was a radical Republican (Republicans were good back then).
– Was a friend of Abraham Lincoln’s.
Cons:
– Didn’t do crap in the White House…this is both good and bad.
– Went broke after his Presidency.
– Accepted presents as President. This is a no-no.
VERDICT: Grant wins!…but barely. He had the same number of pros as Cleveland, but one less con. Draw your own conclusions. I have drawn mine, and they have won me a blue ribbon in the art show.
As I said, I have no life.
NOT PHYSICS! ANYTHING BUT PHYSICS!!!
I’m sitting here at 11:30 at night watching Mystery Men and blogging on Myspace when I should be doing my physics final. But I always get things done…besides, I have one of the only two A’s in our period.
I shall prevail. Physics doesn’t scare me!! (me laughing evilly)
Aneel should post more. I know he’s got girly little thoughts rolling around in that head of his.
In gear for a nerdy summer!
Hehe. So last winter I created a very abridged version of Hamlet using Legos (it was about 5 minutes long).
So, to follow this trend, I am setting a goal: this summer, I shall create abridged versions of several classic pieces of literature using only Legos, a camcorder, and some creative license.
I will now be taking suggestions.
If any of the books you suggest end up winning me an Oscar, I’ll thank you in my speech.
Ha ha!
So I went to Hastings today for the first time in a couple of weeks, and after looking through their pornography section I went back to the psychology section. I’m looking through the books, which have been rearranged according to specific subject (a change since I had last been there) and right under the “Coping with Paranoia” book was a little green sign Velcroed to the bookshelf: “You are under video surveillance”.
That cracked me up! Poor paranoids. I’m thinking someone should get that fired for that poor sign placement. Maybe I’ll write a little note about it and put it in their suggestion box.
Do they have a suggestion box?
I’m amused.
I am such a dorky, geeky nerd…
Like I said, I am a dorky, geeky nerd (or is that “nerdy, dorky geek”? “Geeky, nerdy dork”?). I was scrolling through my list of bookmarked websites (which takes about three minutes…it’s so long) and these are some of the websites I have bookmarked:
-Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theatre’s website
-Census Bureau Homepage
-FanFiciton.net
-FreeArcade.com
-Free Translation
-Geosense (they give you a city anywhere in the world and you have to mark where it is on the map)
-Hollywood Stock Exchange (it’s like the NYSE with celebrities and movies)
-HyperPhysics
-Molecular Expressions
-The Sims Resource
-Worth 1000 (a Photoshop contest website)
I think I have a serious problem.
Plus, I’m looking at the “current mood” doodad and I realize that there’s “nerdy”, “geeky”, AND “dorky”…so now I don’t know what to put.
So I’ll put “surprised”, since I was surprised that all three adjectives were listed.
