So, as you may or may not know, my team is evaluating this year, despite being sophomores in high school. (Everyone's a bit too impressed with us, really -- quite disquieting.) It was a bit like a party, really, except with more repetitive stress pain. I only evaluated two booklets, too . . . I feel I may have swamped them with comments, but I did ( Read more... )

So, we recently solved the climate change problem (good fuzzy, btw, and that's all I'll say). I'm sad we're done with the topic, it was most interesting. (I feel like total nerd saying that, but it's an FPS community, we're all nerdy). Anyway, I started thinking about Freedom of Speech as a topic. And I certainly get the feeling that FPSP was ( Read more... )

icklefickle suggested that I post this here. The names are pseudonyms. (No, I don't know any tenth grader named Timmy, nor anyone named Helvetica.) I guess, to start discussion, how much does this resemble your guys' solving experiences? And there's a whole lot more I could put in, but it's really the intro to an essay about types of group workers. Which is ( Read more... )

I started writing out all the awards I've won (ohhh would my little "Additional Information" box be sparse with this thing...) and realized it would mean absolutely nothing ( Read more... )

wow! this is so awesome! i never knew that there was a fps community...so cool. i was just being a dork and when i got home from fps today i decided to add fps to my interests b/c for some reason i had never done it, and then i noticed that other people had fps listed, so i clicked on it, and here i am ( Read more... )

Right, so: I'm doing a paper on FPS for my writing class, and I need to know: Is there such a thing as a successful FPS romance? If so, please include as many juicy deets as possible ( Read more... )

So I went and looked on Google because I couldn't remember all the lyrics to the FPS song (or even the official title), and there's absolutely nothing anywhere. So I thought I'd fish around here, and see if anyone has either a better memory than me or a copy of the lyrics ( Read more... )
