Yeesh, talk about intense this morning. The team's gymnastics coach came to help spot us on tricks, so we could transition to the hardwood floor and hopefully get them down before regionals (for those of you who don't know, I do competitive jump rope and gymnastics is always a good element to have in a routine). So I had never tried a roundoff backhandspring before, even at gymnastics...and he wanted me to do it. On the hardfloor. For the first time in my life. It wasn't exactly the most blissful experience of my life, but long story short I got roundoff backhandspring in about a half hour. I'm pretty sure I'm never attempting it again unless my coach demands it of me....Ulgh, everytime I punched off the floor I kept thinking to myself "DUDE you should not be doing this."


Just a little vid my friend took while we were in chem. Heh, so much for science. That trick's pretty easy...basically the lazy way of doing a front flip.

So. I probably should be doing homework right now. And my parents will probably attempt to assassinat me if they find me on the computer. I'd rather live to blog again tomorrow, so good day all. Or...night

First of all, I would like to remind everything that I am terribly inefficient at math. No reason, just wanted everyone to know. Now onto business.

So maybe they weren't exactly aliens. But you can't deny it looked a little extraterrestrial. Or something from the Day After Tomorrow. I saw this on the way back from gym, and I whipped out my phone and snapped a few shots.



Stay in your houses!

For the next few weeks the Federal Way School District is doing WASL testing in all its schools. To sum up the WASL: an incredibly simple, standardized test required to graduate from high school. Anyhow, since I passed it last year, I get to be exempt from the morning testing sessions meaning...waking up late! Or not , since all this week there's AP study sessions and a doctor's appointment. Curses.

Anyhow, turns out that tinnitis junk was just caused by a buildup of wax in my innear ear something or other. So now all is better. I scoff at my mother, however, for asking the doctor about ways to get me to fall asleep. I refuse to sleep, I don't care how much melatonin they give me.


[WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD]





I saw 300 yesterday with some friends. The movie is outrageous in terms of spectacle and how epic everything has to be. There is not one detail that was not exaggerated. How epic would it be if there was only a pile of the townsfolks' bodies? Not very, which is why there had to be a tree full of them. And a storm destroying a fleet of ships? Nope, it had to be a frickin tempest complete with hard metal music roaring amongst the thunder. Blo0d didn't spill, it sprayed, and the movie had so much slo-mo action it gave The Matrix a run for its money, and that's saying a lot. Considering how much I love The Matrix. I don't think I've seen another film that has such a small amount of clothing either. Speedos and red capes for the guys, revealing dresses or no clothes at all for the women. All in all, I don't think it'd be very easy finding a movie that even comes close to the degree of epic-ness in 300. Even the secks was epic. Beat that.
[SPOILERS END HERE]

On Monday we did speed drills @ jump rope practice. I was pretty excited about my score...172 jumps in 30 seconds chyeah . After several complex mathematical calculations I've determined that to be 5.7 jumps per second, and I don't even know how that is possible...but it is trust me.


---Edit---
Oh, and just to clarify...I DID like the 300 movie. My assessment of it may have come across as a really corny, cheesy, overdone movie, but it's not. It was pretty awesome. Go see it.

I've had this ringing in my right ear for the past week. When I'm surrounded by the chaos of school, I don't notice it much, but now that it's relatively quiet I'm suddenly aware of its irritating presence. It all started some days back when I fell asleep with my iPod in my ears. The bass comes prominantly from the right earbud (I think), which would explain why the eardrum is going berserko. I took a little initiative--a big step for me--and looked up my condition on Web MD, discovering it was something called tinnitus. It can be caused by either continued exposure to loud noises or aspirin poisoning, and I can assure you it isn't the latter of the two. I was, however, a little concerned by this little tid-bit: "There may not be a cure for tinnitus, but your doctor can help you learn how to live with the problem and make sure a more serious problem is not causing your symptoms.". Oh yeah great. Really looking forward to it. If I'm not here tomorrow you all know why.

Haha I have to admit, all this drama going on around Nutang is pretty atypical...at least since I've been around. Normally I feel at least marginal pity for the users who don't have a clue, but this time things are just ridiculous. Anyone else notice how there've been two goodbye entries posted this week, each complete with "hey come here and feel sorry for me" sentiments? Nutang, the internet, or people for that matter, aren't always going to be dishing out sympathy when you're actions don't exactly fit your age. If you want a more friendly, cuddly, internet environment, I suggest visiting carebear.com. 'Nuff said.

I have this friend who has to have about 6-7 teeth pulled, or something like that...problem is, she will most likely have a panic-induced siezure at the prospect of getting knocked out via gas. It's required for the operation! How else are they going to do it. Well, that was the question, and here are some potential answers.
◘A skillet to the back of the head.
◘A pen that is secretly a tranquilizer blowgun.
◘A Tazer
◘Rappers
