So, today i watched two movies i needed to see, "the 40 year old virgin," and "raising arizona." Both were really funny... then, between them, me and a friend went and blew some stuff up (aka fireworks etc.). That's always good. And then...I am here. Not looking forward to school on Wednesday a bit. Who is though? argh, stupid speed limit ( Read more... )

Well, i launched a rocket today...actually, i let my friend push the button. It looked like a good launch, but then the school nearby had a random anouncement thing, so i couldn't hear if the second stage ignited or not. So basically, after a long while (leading me to believe the second stage did go off), the rocket came out of the sky, nose down ( Read more... )

Yeah, so basically, i tried to launch rockets with Allie. The first two sites had sports teams practicing on them. When we finally found a place to launch, i didn't have tape, so Allie's mom brought some. Well, walking home, she apparently twisted her ankle really badly. Now i feel bad. and we didn't even get to launch the rocket. other than ( Read more... )

So, what a day. Wake up late, eat breakfast, and then practice, chill, hang out with a friend, and fix another rocket. now i have a 14 inch rocket that I modified so it should actually stage reliably. I am trying to figure out though...If I can't see a 36 inch ORANGE rocket at less than 2000 feet, how am i going to see a 12 inch (after it stages ( Read more... )

Well, as per usual, I am trying to throw pots that are too thin. Ugh. I should just wait and then learn how to trim 20 million times better, instead of not accomplishing anything but learning what pots feel like just before they go crazy (and yes, i somehow folded a pot into itself in about a second with the wheel going). But anyways. Basically ( Read more... )

Well, today just wasn't a good day for me and centering. I couldn't even get away with actually making pots, they kept getting REALLY week spots. It was weird. And i was mad cause a pot was still in the bisque kiln, and it shoulda been out already (well, it better be in the bisque kiln, otherwise i will be PISSED). What else? oh, weird ( Read more... )

Well, another day, and ahhhh...I think perhaps I know what I will write my common App essay about. Seriously, though, the questions are like the state writing tasks. The stupid ones where if you don't think about people who have influenced you, etc. you have problems. I was always one of those kids. Oh well. Today I trimmed a pot/bowl. Yeah, ( Read more... )

So, I just typed this and then screwed it up. Yesterday was awesome, I got a really cool mix (which had songs i don't have on it), and then i went swimming in the Mary's River with some friends. The water was pretty nice, but it was the ropes (not the swimming in the water)that was really spectacular, and then i watched sin city (it's okay, the ( Read more... )

Well, since everyone else is now using livejournal, I might as well. Ugh, everyone at Interlochen is awesome, and i wish they didn't live all over the country. Oh well. What else? Oh, can you believe it, I already have to do college stuff like start filling in applications. UGHHHHHH. how annoying.
