8:57 pm	Here's a really funnny story for everyone out there: So it all started about a month ago, before school started. Lila and I went camping with a few family friends. It was a fairly fun trip. I was particularly interested in these waterproof matches that the family friends brought. They were cool, and I put one in my pocket. The trip went well; good camping, boating, biking and hiking, and well went home to get ready for school to start. Cut to yesterday. A regular peer court day. It happened to be my first one this year, because I had missed the first one. When we reached Moonstruck Chocolates, I put my backpack down on a seat, put my coat on another seat, and proceeded to work on a bunch of homework that I had. Joe came over to talk to me during this, and he put my coat on the ground to sit down (which is fine, of course)... anyways, I did my homework, I had a regular time, and we all went to peer court. As we are at peer court, I keep noticing a peculiar smoke smell -- I even pointed it out to a few of you. Also, Laila kept saying I smelled weird, but I figured that was just her being weird. So peer court finishes up, and my mind is on homework as I go home... I barely even notince when, in the car, my mom also points out the weird smoke smell... I, of course, attribute this to the smoke smell at peer court which must've made me smell a bit. No big deal, nothing else happens, and I go home and do homework as usual. Cut to this morning. As I am just about ready to go off to school, I reach to put on my jacket, and as I do, I notice a particularly strong smoke smell eminating from it. Wrinkling my nose a bit, I take my coat and put it in my downstairs laundry room. Being in the laundry room, I take some clothes that I want washed, including some old camping clothes from the summer trip, and I put it in the washer. I go off to a normal day of school. Cut to after school. So I come home, and it turns out my grandpa from Roseburg has come to visit us for the day. I say hello to my grandpa, and my (other side of the family's) grandma, and my dad, and I go upstairs to do homework. However, sometime later, my grandma and dad confront me with an interesting story: During the day my dad had noticed my coat sitting in the laundry room, and, not realizing I put it there because it smelled bad, moved it to a different place in the laundry room... He then left, nothing came from this, except, during the process of moving my coat, he had turned the pockets a bit upside down. He left the laundry room unfazed. My grandma came into the laundry room to clean her clothes. She soon saw something peculiar on the floor. Looking down to inspect it, she quickly called my dad into the room. *They had found a cigarette and bits of tobacco on the floor.* Naturally, they assumed that someone had broken into, and was burglaring the house. After being a little overly cautious and paranoid for a while, and calling in my grandfather to help them look around the house, they decide that it wasn’t a burglar..... And then my dad realizes…. “Hey, it must’ve come from Willie’s coat…. Waitaminute… Why is there a cigarette and tobacco in my son’s coat pocket…” So they tell me this, and I think the whole situation is absurd. Oh, but I didn’t mention that my mom had come home throughout all of this. First thing she decides to do is look into my laundry to see if it needs more drying. But as she looks in the dryer, what do you know, she finds a match floating around in there with my clothes. So as my grandma, dad, and grandpa from Roseburg are wondering why I have a cigarette and tobacco in my coat pockets, my mother walks up the stairs and into my room with a match that she found with my clothes. OMG DOT DOT DOT WTF SUSPICIOUS SILENCE An awkward and absured situation you never have seen before. That's all I have to say. You think you are unlucky? Just think to what happened to me today. So I guess you all want to know what happened: A lot of awkward and hinting silences, but of course, being that it's me, they probably could've found a lot more bad things in my pockets without too much harm. Anyways, it was probably one of weirdiest things that's happened to me, and very worthy of a blog post. (12 Comments |Comment on this)

12:46 am	IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE? 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc). 2. Put it on shuffle. 3. Press play. 4. For every question type the song that's playing. 5. When you go to a new question press the next button. Opening Credits: Don't ask me why - Billy Joel Waking Up: Imagine - John Lennon Falling In Love: As- Stevie Wonder (lol this is funny, it actually sorta fits) Fight Song: Somebody Put Something In My Drink - The Ramones Breaking Up: You Can't Touch This - MC Hammer Mental Breakdown: Los Angeles, I'm Yours - The Decemberists Life's Okay: Hard Road-The Shore Driving: Sweet Dreams are Made of These - Eurythmics Flashbacks: After Midnight - Eric Clapton Happy Dance: Why don't we do it in the road- The Beatles Regretting: I'm The Only One - Melissa Ethridge Final Battle: One Headlight - The Wallflowers Death Scene: Only a Fool Would Say That - Steely Dan Hmm...

Basically, New York is however you imagine it to be, except different, and cooler. Yeah it rocks. Anyone ever hailed a taxi?

2:05 pm	Happy last day of school to all the little boys and girls out there. Slept 12 hours last night, from 1 to 1. snake eyes. Well here I am, sitting here at my computer, with a whole summer in front of me... I really don't want to waste it, because I can never get a lot of fun stuff done in the school year, and I don't want to laze around till the next school year without doing lots of fun stuff. So heres my plan... If anyone wants to do anything cool, no matter how infeasible, but you don't know who would want to do it with you, please contact me....... im me or something, and I will probably do it.... even if its something crazy. And then I'll get lila to do it to, and then we can get more people to do it, and then, before you know it, we will have a whole bunch of people doing something totally crazy, and before the next school year starts, I will totally have an awesome summer that hasn't been wasted. soo.... For the first time in my life, I have an entire summer ahead of me where I have not scheduled a single thing. NOTHING. Hmmmm so yeah, should be fun. Have a great summer everyone!

8:46 pm	International Science and Engineering Fair 2006 So... What is up everyone? How's it going? ISEF was pretty darn cool. Just being there and hanging out with everyone from team Oregon / other people in the world was really fun. And SST did well! For the first time in history, everyone from SST got an award! The people from the BHSE district fair did really well as a whole, and so did team Oregon also. Lots of good awards were won. Abridged summary of the week: Saturday: We meet up at the airport and fly. After arriving, we check in at the hotel, and walk around downtown for a while. We eat pizza that night. Yum. Sunday: We wake up really early in the morning to go setup at the convention center. We setup all the boards, and go to eat lunch at this place called White Castle. Supposedly this fast food chain was in a movie and was famous, but ick food, worse than McDonalds. We go to the mall, and I eat a gyro there. Later in the day we go to the pin trading ceremony where I trade lots and lots of pins and eat yummbly catered food. During the ceremony, the Brazilians started to randomly form this dance circle and had this crazy mosh pit / breakdance thing going. The asians arrive that night. Monday: We wake up early and go to the convention center so that the asians can setup. For lunch, we go back to the mall. Afterwards, we go to the convention center again for the OPENING CEREMONY!! The keynote speaker and her tiny primates from madagascar were cool. Tuesday: I have to wake up early to go be on this Indianapolis TV morning news. It was fun, but I had to wake up at 5:00 AM, which is really early if you consider how late we all stay up. Afterwards, nearer to lunch, we went to a different place at the convention center to see a shop talk session about presenting a project. Speaking of which, "we put the magic back into flying." If you understand that, lol. So we went to lunch, yum, and walked around the mall until it was time to go to the Indiana Museum (sort of an OMSI-like museum) for the Host City Welcome. There, we got to hang out, and eat food, and watch Imax, and play frisbee, woo. Wednesday: We all actually wake up on time this day because it is JUDGEMENT DAY... basically 7.25 hours of being judged this day by a whole bunch of different people. There are little breaks for lunch (subway, mostly-yum), and such. I get flimed/interviewed by Fox News, but I didn't yell out in the middle of about its bias and such. Later in the evening, we have the mixer, which is at Indianapolis' Union Station. After eating (pretty good food), we mostly just walk around, and then play cards (specifically Mao). Thursday: Woobers, finally we get to sleep in. But we still have to get up at 9:00 to go to the public viewing. I didn't know so many little middle school kids existed. They swarm all over the place like little ants. Loud wild ants. And the teachers are like the mean ant masters. We get a 10$ stipend to buy lunch at the convention center that day: semi-yummy. I eat lunch with a kid that was friends with the person who was at a booth next to me (all from Minnesota) who eventually wins a best in catagory award. Later, we eat dinner, and then we go to the SPECIAL AWARDS CEREMONY. Alan and Nate win an AI award, and Vidya wins 2 awards successively. LANning was fun that night. BTW, if you don't understand the following insult, then YOU ARE A SKYBRIDGE! Friday: I wake up ten minutes before we need to be leaving the hotel (with our suits on, and stuff all ready). I rush to get ready, while at the same time, frantically trying to wake up Nate and Alan, who seem to just ignore me. Anyways, we crazily make it to the GOVERNMENTAL AWARDS CEREMONY right as the opening speaker begins to give a speech. After that ceremony, we all went to lunch at a place called Paliminos (Italian), which was exceedingly yummy (I ate a steak sandwich), and speculated about the grand awards. After lunch, we hurried back to the convention center, and got seats, and the awards started. Woobers, and that leads me back to what I was saying at the begginning of this post, which is that all these leet people won. I don't know what I am going to do with my money yet though. That night, we ate at the hard rock cafe (I got a steak, yum), and then we went back to the hotel. I stayed up all night and LANned and played cards, and such, and decided to start packing at about 2:15 AM, and then at 3:30 or so we left for the airport. Saturday: oops, I already sort of mentioned the begginning of Saturday, but basically we all took flights where we slept and ate a lot and such, and stopped in Detroit half way, and then got back to Portland all in one piece WOO! Then I went home, and took showers and naps, and ate dinner (which coincidentally turned out to be steak, yum), and then here I am now, typing about it all. Overall, I'd say it was pretty darn awesome. Pretty darn. (16 Comments |Comment on this)

3:06 pm	Sup everyone? A lot of crazy / interesting things have been happening all of a sudden. yawn. Well ISEF soon. I get to go see what other country's highschoolers are up to. Hopefully, they've been slacking off ;).' And another good thing happened that pertains to the Tuesday at ISEF. well... idk... maybe it will be a good thing. Maybe too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Now I just need to figure out my glove's battery situation throughout the duration of ISEF... and write a big research paper.. and do some other stuff. Hope everyone eats something yummy soon. Willie was here. bye. and here. (6 Comments |Comment on this)

5:33 pm	e h h h h h h ....ehhhh...I really don't like to conform... I guess I will just blame it on boredom- Bad Boredom. Bad dog. No biscuit. Shame on you: 1. I'll respond with something random I like about you. 2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you. 3. I'll name something we should do together. 4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me). 5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you. 6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you. 7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you. 8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people. (31 Comments |Comment on this)

5:05 pm	So... Just got back from the beach. Question: Should I cut my hair short? Should I keep it long? A lot of people have been telling me that I should cut it short, cause it looks better, while other people have been telling me to keep it longish. So... What do you all think?
