the-muffin-man tagged me in one of those silly (trying really hard not to say "stupid"...oops) chain letter things. And then my friend Daisy on deviantArt tagged me too, so now I'm going to go nuts and just do it. If I can...

1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must put 8 random facts about themselves.
3. Tagged ones should write a journal about these facts.
4. At the end of the post tag 8 more deviants Screw you!



1) The song that Pandora just started playing, called First Blood by Desperadoz, really creeps me out.

2) Katie is the coolest girl ever. Not really random, I know, but necessary.

3) When I'm in geometry, I like to cheat by visualizing and manipulating the problem in my head. This slows me down, but ensures a better understanding of the pretty numbers.

4) My mom is from Puerto Rico, and my dad was raised in Maryland, USA. I don't pay much attention to my Puerto Rican heritage. It barely shows up in my genes, anyway. I'm definitely my dad's son.

5) I love a good story. I can very easily grow attached to the characters. I usually stay away from TV, but if I catch a show I always want to know what's going on, and see how it ends.

6) This is related to number (5). As a younger child, I absorbed a lot of stories. The first thing to come to mind is Digimon (forgive me!), but there was also a few book series. I've mostly forgotten the plots, the characters, and the general awesomeness. In fits of nostalgia, I dig them up over the internet and obsess over them for weeks at a time. Right now, I'm downloading the first 4 seasons of Digimon and I got The Dark is Rising book series from my friend Ryan.

7) I did much better in middle school than in high school. For some reason, I'm still in the super hard classes with lots of homework. -sigh-

8) Almost every week, after youth group, I go to Sonic and eat/drink with a few of the kids. I hate Sonic because it's too cold for the drinks and all the food, which is not a lot to begin with, makes me sick. But I still go because I love to hang out with them so much.

I'm not tagging people because I hate these things with a passion. So...

About passing notes: Today, David and I finished a huge test in English about the same time, and we sit near each other, so we started a note conversation. It was rad. (Don't ask what we talked about, we're both geeks.) The teacher saw me writing on it, and glared at me for a while, but didn't say anything. I think she was just worried about me communicating with people still with a test. Haha, David and I WOULD be the only two she lets pass notes.

I saw this bulletin on myspace and just had to do it. Heheheh. My teachers and I have an interesting relationship.

Thoroughly pleased with everything, right now.

I AM still alive.

Alright, so, the first 13 or so years I've lived in this house, my family never knew there was an air duct that came out under the sink.

The longer I live here, the more bad things I hear about the contractor from Mom. Haha.

Anyway, it was uncovered when we renovated the kitchen (which I'm still getting used to, by the way) and now when I stand in front of the sink, I get warm air on my poor widdle cold tosies.

On another, unrelated note, my mom likes to conserve energy by leaving the air system set to 60 degrees downstairs and 67 upstairs. I've complained about this before, because since nobody knows how to use the air system (this, also, is relatively new because the old one failed epically), and nobody remembers to turn up the heat when we get home from school/work, the house is in a constant state of freezingness and especially when I'm trying to sleep. And I've made Mom aware of this, in my usual way.

SO.

I was pointing out to Sean the extra vent we'd uncovered while I basked in its restoring flow. Mom misunderstood me to be complaining about the cold, and started berating me for not "dressing properly" for the cold. I'm wearing long jeans and a Tee shirt, mind you.

After insisting several times that my body is just fine, it's just my toes that are cold, and I was only talking about the air vent anyway, I yelled "HEY MOM, LOOK! I'm comfortable!"

I proceeded to strip down to my underwear, and ate my cheeseburgers in my boxers.




Some friends at school and I have an idea for an awesome video, but it's a big job. I don't know if it can be an amature job or not, but if we can pull it off right, it has the potential for greatness.

Hush-hush.
