Viva la nerds and all they stand for in this world.

My Ears and My Nose

My ears are being assulted by very loud music from a bitchin sound sytem and my nose is being assulted by the musk of Mr. Rocko. Lets just say I preferred the assult on my ears to the assult on my nose up until the point where Mr. Rocko farted into the mic. He can be so immature sometimes. Speaking of my immature, my younger brother is not on my Mom's good side these days. He has been neglecting his homework to play video games and been lying about how much needs to be done for his computer science program since every time she asks he is almost done and then will go work for 4 hours and still be almost done. 4 Hours and more is not almost done. He is being a bad little boy.

Plants are not inanimate

So I was randomly singing one of the songs from Little Shop of Horrors yesterday. The "Feed Me" song. I really don't even know if that's the name of the song. But I realized that Seymour says "You're a plant, an inanimate object." Yet by definition, a plant is not an inanimate object since they are living organisms and even have some form of movement (research flowers that tilt into the sun). So in a way, the plant was right to say "Does this look inanimate to you." Creepy.

In other news, I went shoe shopping yesterday. I was looking for new shews to replace my old good shoes. I went to a discount shoes store since its the only place nearby. I originally tried looking for shoes in a 9 1/2 W but they were to big. In the end I had to go all the way down to a size 8. I ended up buying the most darling pair of black heals. They have about a two inch heel, are made of synthetic material, and have these adorable little bows on the front. You might say they look like they were made for little kids but honestly, what little kid wears high heels. Anyways their awesome but I have to wear them around the house before the gala. I don't wear heals to much so it will take some getting used to. I think I'll Post a picture later, since I don't have any pictures right now.

Today the yearbooks were handed out. They increased the price by $3 this year so that the year books could be printed in full color and I must say it was worth it. The photos look so much better in color. However they messed up on my grad writeup. They only printed like half of it. But at least they put the AV team picture in this year and I even got a picture in by myself. One where I am eating in the AV office. Mr. Rocko says that this is the first year they have gotten the name right, calling us the AV team instead of the tech crew. The only bad part is that, because of the timing, Jane is still in the picture even though she quit the team. That might make her think that she is still on the team.

Another bad thing is that we have to clean up the cage sometime soon. It is a disaster. I say leave it until after exams, when Craig and I have graduated. I don't get the point of Mr. Rocko taking the time to organize everything to his liking when he is about to graduate. If you think about it, it might be smarter to let the Orange Hat Boy organize the cage since he is going to be team lead next year. Speaking of OHB, B-rocker to Mr. Rocko that OHB has to set up the sound and lighting for the Athletics banquet all by himself (with supervision) to prove that he can do it. On the bright side, PHead seems to have accepted the fact that OHB will be team leader next year and he (PHead) won't. Although I suspect he is just biding his time to come up with a plan to take power. At the start of the year he tried to take power from Mr. Rocko, even going so far as to say "Do you mind if I sign this as Co team leader." For a guy who wants to go into the military, he sure seems to have a problem with authority. He wouldn't go up to his commander and say "Do you mind if I sign this as Commander Phead". Its just not right.

I don't know why I have been going on for so long. Probably because Mr. Rocko is working on English in the resource room so he is not here to continuously interrupt me. I still have another 45 minutes of spare though. If I had known that Mr. Rocko was working in resource this period, I would have gone home at lunch time.

With yearbooks always comes another thing, yearbook signings. I haven't gotten a lot of signatures since grade 9 but I think I will try to this year, seeing as how I am graduating. I will probably bring my yearbook to Band Practice this morning and get some of my fellow Band members to sign it. It's kind of sad to think about how fast these past four years have gone by. Or that I will be going of to University next year, 7 hours away from home. And that Mr. Rocko won't be an hours bus ride away because he got wait listed at the university he wanted to go to.

In other news, we had the cake auction last Friday I think. Mr. Rocko and I were the representatives for our class. Our class only raised like $11 so we only got one thing. Mr. Rocko was left bidding while I went to get a microphone from the cage and when I came back he told me that he had bid blindly on something. We later found out it was cupcakes. There were not enough for everyone so those who had contributed money got a whole cup cake and I got a whole cupcake because I was a class representative and everyone else had to make do with splitting cupcakes.

I am starting to get worried because I have to by a prom dress soon. I have not worn a dress since I was 12. I don't own any dresses and I have no idea where to go shopping for a prom dress. I don't even know what a prom dress looks like. Any hints would be appreciated.

I had a busy weekend because I had a lot of things to study for, including a biology test, a math test, and a math summative. I am also busy studying computer science since our written test is coming up soon. Basically that's everything in my life right now. How boring!

Extra! Extra!

Mr. Rocko is really mean. He just said he was going to poo on me. I blame it on the heat. It's so hot out today. Kind of funny since Alberta, where my cousins live, had snow the other day. There is a smog warning in effect and they are telling people not to drive their cars or idle their cars. On the good side, my parents put in the air conditioning so that should make it cooler. It was 28 degrees inside my house yesterday. I don't know how I am going to live. Haha, Mr. Rocko's mom isn't answering the phone. There were not a lot of grade 12's in class today because of wondergrad. There were only 3 people in my math class today. My biology teacher was pissed because people skipped class even though they didn't leave until noon. She was especially pissed off because people skipped the quiz even though she told them there would be enough time to right the quiz. People can be really stupid sometimes. They should get zero on the quiz because Wondergrad is not a school sponsored event. Toronto prom no drinking. Random

Dirty Jobs

So my mom has been after me to clean my fish tank again. I sort of said that I would clean it two weeks ago. And she decided that the time has come to offer me "extra incentive" again. My internet stays of until I clean my fish tank. So not fair since I need internet for everything and because, the way I see it, is that everyone gets to enjoy having the fish, but only I have to feed them and clean the tank. And it's such a big job everytime I have to clean the fish tank. It takes like 45 minutes. In my opinion its 45 wasted minutes. Why can't the children pick up their own toys?

Post Secondary Obesity

What is a worse problem, second hand smoking or post secondary obesity. First of all, a lot of people suffer from obesity as children so to fix the problem you're really going to have to stop it at its source. Second of all, as Mr. Rocko pointed out, second hand smoke will kill you but who ever heard of someone dying from second hand fat. But apparently the health people of this city/province/country feel that post secondary obesity is a bigger problem than smoking and are transferring all of the expose funding there. These people have no idea what the hell they are doing. But I think we already new that from the health minister. They were talking about weather or not Medical Marijuana studies are a priority or not. Most teens would say yes but I have to say no, not really. There are plenty of other things out there that will kill you that need attention before medicinal marijuana.

Extract strawberry DNA

To do this you will need:
A plastic rod
ethanol
a mixture of salt, water, and shampoo
a plastic baggy
a strawberry
a test tube
a funnel
cheese cloth
a squirt bottle

1. Cut the top of the strawberry and core it and mash it in the plastic baggy for a couple of minutes
2. Add some of the salt-water-shampoo mixture to the baggy and continue to mash for another minute or so
3. Put the cheesecloth in the funnel and poor the strawberry gunk into the funnel to let it filter into the test tube until you have about and inch of strawberry solution
4. Slowly use the squirt bottle to fill the test tube up to half way with ethanol on top of the strawberry solution.
5. Use the rod to touch the strawberry solution where it meets the ethanol and start to stir slowly. You should see the DNA starting to clump.

Enjoy, courtesy of some biology teacher.

Oops not that way

So I got lost driving home from my friends house today. The people who designed the intersection there were brainless. It is so confusing and it's impossible to see the street signs. It took me 15 minutes to get home since I had to drive all the way around Bridlewood. On top of that, my dad informed me that the car could have stopped at any time on me since he was changing the battery earlier today and hadn't finished tightening one of the rods. Rod coming apart= stopped car. Anyways it annoyed me that it took so long to get home. On the other hand I did get to sigh see a bit. It all sucks in the end. That combined with the fact that I have school tomorrow makes me pissed of. On the bright side the reviews form Little Shop of Horrors were out in the paper today. The full review complemented Mr. Rocko and I.

Yay no work

So apparently I don't have to work tonight after all. Origionally we thought they were setting up in the Calf but B-rocker said today they were setting up movie night in a class room. I finally have a friday night of to myself. And since today is a day 1 and I have spare last period, I'll actually get to go home early today. On top of that I had a canceled class. Today is officially the best friday I have had in a while. The only think that could possibly make it better would be finding out that Mr. Rocko got accepted at the radio and television program at Ryerson. Awesome

Ubuntu

It's really weird because currently I am writing this from my home computer with Ubuntu booted from a CD. It's called a live CD so that you can run Ubuntu without installing it. I might consider creating a CD of an older version so that I can save my state on my USB key. It's weird though because I could open files on my hard drive but I can't write to my hard drive. I am trying Lynix and it feels surreal since I booted it on my home machine. Hopefully I will still be able to boot Mac OS X normally after this since my mom doesn't know I was using Lynix.

Community Cleanup day

To be edited later after we clean up the capital and maybe visit Tim Hortons. Sometimes it is kind of gross to see all the garbage in our community. And speaking of gross, Mr. Rocko is discussing sperm count with B-rocker. That is beyond gross. Anyways cleanup starts in ten minutes.

Edit: So comunity cleanup day went fine. We ended up in an area that was actually fairly clean already. We picked up a bit of garbage but not that much. We relaxed in the shade some and then went to Tim Horton's. After we came back and had a barbecue. Mr. Rocko was playing music and got a lot of requests. Especially from the break dancers. A couple of the break dancers actually graduated last year and were coming back to visit. One of them was really fine. When he stood on his head his shirt fell down and I could see his muscles. He had really nice abs. I don't even know his name but he was friends with the Breakdance King. The break dance king was sort of weird and there are rumours going around that he got a teacher fired by sleeping with her. Personally I don't think that is true, especially since the teacher is still in the system. The same people were also talking about what happened to a certain chemistry teacher who had to stop teaching halfway through the semester. So far all of it is just rumours and nothing has been confirmed.

So I have to work on Friday. I have to run the equipment for the school movie night. It's annoying because they are watching "Accepted" and I own that movie. Up until yesterday we asumed the Pig would be running things since his sister was one of the organisers but then she told us that the Pig would be away at camp. And since Mr. Rocko will be working I have to stay and run things. That also means I might not be able to go stargazing with the astronomy club. We haven't been able to go out at night in so long so I'll be really disappointed if we're going out and I can't make it. I couldn't make the last session either because I was away for the weekend at a hockey tournament. I'm looking forward to it even though the spring/early summer sky is not nearly as good as the winter sky. We missed so much this past winter becuase the skies weren't clear or because people couldn't make it out.

Mr. Rocko keeps talking about skiping Computer Science. And the sad part is I think he may actually be serious this time. He keep's leaving me really concerned. At least I know that he has not left yet since his bag is still in the office. But still... he keeps threatning to skip and has said that he has just given up on Computer Science. I don't know why but it makes me so sad I almost want to cry. I'll see what I can do about helping him finish his bit patterns assignment, since the teacher has basically said that we don't have to finish the permutations assignment (even though I already have). Anyways I'll see what I can do for him.

Nerve Wracking Test

So I had a math test today. Most of the knowledge questions were really easy and easily finished. Some of the application questions were a little bit more challenge. I think I got most of them right although I may have messed up somewhere when solving one of my matrices. The tips was hard as hell though. I really hope I did well because I need to keep my mark up for the course since it's a required course for my university program and certain people think I should keep my admissions average above 85 % in order to keep the entrance scholarship I was offered. It bugs me that I had any trouble at all with the test since this is the easiest unit. I always seem to have problems with the matrices since I seem to miss the little details a lot. And the worst part was I had to write into lunch so that I missed most of my lunch period. And I have computer science next not spare. Not like I have much time to relax during spare anyways. Mr. Rocko and I always seem to have work to do during spare. We spend so much of our time doing tech work and not enough time relaxing or more importantly, for us university bound student's, doing homework. It sucks.

More random Stuff

So I had an interesting conversation yesterday afternoon with Mr. Rocko. We started talking about god, life, the universe, everything, and nothing. I came up with a theory that past present and future coexsistant silmoultaneously and that we exsist everywhere and everywhen at once but consioucly choose to exsist in what we consider the present. But at night our subconcious can escape those conscious bounds and reveal its true nature as "seeing the future." This can also manifest itself in dejavu. We feel as if we have experienced something before because we have. Strange things. Anyways its time for class now.

Tear Down, Uni, and Random Thoughts

So first of all I know I still have to post more on how the show went. And second off all the bad part about having our equipment permanetly in place for two months is that now we have to tear it all down. And believe me that is a lot of work. Considering the set up origionally took almost an hour. Defenitely something I'm not looking forward to. Even after Little Shop of Horrors is over, it's not really over.The universities are also starting to get to me. Yesterday I got a letter and a phone call from Queens, and I don't even want to go to Queen's. They are certainly annoying me. Mr. Rocko has yet to hear from the uni he wishes to attend even though they said he would hear by last week. They lied and acted bitchy when he called about it.
Now on to the random thoughts. I was thinking about time travel this morning because of something I saw on tv. In order for time travel to be possible, the past, present, and future would have to exsist silmoultaneously. However there is evidence to support that theory. One of these is being able to see the future. I'm not talking about the carnival show tell your future crap. I'm more talking when people see something that is going to happen in a dream. The type of thing where people often see the future without knowing their dreams will "come true" until they actually happen. In order for someone to be able to see an event that will come, the future must be happening at the same time as the present. But on the other hand, this very thing defies logic. Or perhaps it doesn't. Maybe when we see the future we are really jumping along to another part of our conciousness. I don't have time to explain what I mean now and I really think these are thoughts better left for another day.

Last Day- finally

Today is finally the last day of the Little Shop of Horrors performance. Yesterday we did our cappies performence yesterday. We haven't seen the reviews yet but Mrs. Hinkleman's husband was watching the Cappies people were laughing and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Everything has gone well so far. Besides the fact that I have a ton of homework this weekend. That includes catchup homework for classes I have missed. I have to catch up on my computer science work. I have not been to computer science in a couple of days. There was also a problem during the dress rehearsal with a proffesional wearing a motercycle and riding a leather jacket. During the first performance Mushnik forgot one of his props and had to cover up on the fly. The last show starts in an hour and a half. I'm at school already but I am hiding out in the Computer Lab. I created an algorithm that I hope will let me finish the computer science program I was working on. Mr. Rocko is sitting next to me singing the meek shall inherit. Yesterday the Pig showed up for the performance wearing jeans and an ugly t-shirt when the rest of us were in dress clothes. And then he got dandruff all over it. That was disgusting. There is lots more to say about the Little Shop of Horrors but I am to distracted to right now. More later.

D-day

Tommorow is D-day. The opening day for Little Shop of Horrors. Yesterday was the official dress rehearsal before a live audience. The dress rehearsal went suprisingly well. The director was impressed with the Lighting again and the sound was the best I have ever seen...err heard it. The only blip of the entire show was the Pig. He once again live up to his name, eating two sandwhiches, a whole bag of carrots, and a Bag of Doritoes over the course of a couple hours. Including eating throughout the entire second act. And he was the only one who was in the main house, sitting with the audience, in plain view. It was quite disgusting actually. Mr. Rocko was pretty pissed of and it made me one to pummel the pig. Except that then I would have to touch him. Ewww. Anyways there is a short rehearsal today and then D-day tommorow. I'm behind in my math (by a lesson) and I have to tests next week. I won't be in class all day tommorow and I have to do a lab at lunch. Then I will be here from like 7:50 in the morning to like 10:00 at night on Thursday and Friday. In other news Mr. Rocko has decided to make a lifestyle choice. He got rid of all the chips and the chocolate and is going on a diet. I was so sad yesterday because he bought no fat chocolate milk and drank the whole carton and then realized it was 600 calories. I don't know why that makes me so sad but it does. It makes me want to cry. I hope he finds success in his health phase.
