Yessss... Bill Gates came to see me today. Driving his beat-down 87' chevrolet (I think), he came to Cornell today to give a presentation on "software breakthroughs."

I was very fortunate to get a ticket—so lucky, in fact, I found out at the talk that my ticket was a reserved ticket, allowing me to sit in the 3rd row, direct center of the auditorium, about 10 feet from Bill Gates—yesssss! vict0ry! Moreover, too many tickets were printed accidentally (like several hundred tickets too many) so a lot of people who got tickets were unable to attend. Yessssss!!! I win!! Plus, even with this surplus, tickets ran out within 20 minutes of being released. YESSSSSS!!!!

Ok, so anyway, let me debunk some myths. First, Bill Gates is hilarious. He has a great sense of humour. Secondly, he is tall; I'd approximate 6-foot. And lastly, he did not give me a million dollars, thereby blatantly violating our unspoken gentleman's agreement.

He didn't really talk about software breakthroughs—but rather, advertised some upcoming ms products, himself, his charity foundation, and the field of computer science. I also had my first prelim (in several months) today. So thank you for being that kind of girl.

wow.
that must've been interesting. he's someone i'd like to meet oneday.

The Simpsons didn't draw anything
they're just cartoon characters. eh, whatever.

One doesn't [er, souldn't] carry around a million dollar everyday. Because that's 'bout how much he'd need to give everyone $5,000 to everyone he saw. Most likely, the people he sees on a regular basis have plenty of money and don't need it anyways.
I'll take theirs.
