Random Raves!

[Atlas14]

I am on my school's Senior (or Vasrsity) Volleyball team!

Aren't volleyball teams in hs exclusive to female participation?

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Not always - in fact, in my district there was a guy who successfully lobbied to get on the girls team as there was none for boys.

 

[Mirc]

Yeah!!!!!

I got the visa to enter the US! So after all the time when I've been so unsure whether I'm going to make it to the guitar competition I was trying to go or not, it finally seems I'm going to make it!! I only need the plane tickets and accommodation now.


Actually, I haven't got it yet. The woman girl (I don't think she was older than 23 ) at the visa office told me everything seems to be all right and I have to come tomorrow at 3 to pick up my passport with the visa.



And also, I'm happy that right now the huge 8.5 GB file I was downloading got to 89%. But this pales compared to the visa! It's... I think... it's just as I dreamed! That I one day will make it to the tropics! To a beautiful paradise!

What could possibly be that big of a file?

Erm... it's an image of a 2-DVD thing from a friend. Can't say more.

Edit: 99.8%... with a 3-hour break a few hours ago, though

This sentance confuses me, and almost makes me think you are calling me a girl?

I am a boy, and am on the Boys Volleyball team. In Ontario most highschools have a boys team, and a girls team.

The company that I purchased from that ended up with the FedEx snafu sent out a new shipment. FedEx, seemingly forgetting what the word "Saturday" in Saturday delivery meant, delivered it today, the right way, with everything in tact. Thankfully I was there for it (though the phone call from the driver, who really was a "duh" kind of guy, woke me up).

So good job, company! You earned a repeat customer!

Random Rave: Watching this new ITT Tech commercial advertising their new school to get people into the home construction business through design and something-or-other.

They missed that upswing by a few years.

The movie "Across the Universe" looks really interesting!

 

[jeps]

If you are on drugs.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Fall Is Here!

 

[jeps]

Across the Universe wasnt as bad as I thought it would be!

but my previous comment still stands.

 

[Catharsis]

Fall Is Here!

We call it Autumn, which is a much cooler word!

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

We call it Autumn, which is a much cooler word!

But not as cool as summer, which was pretty lame .

but my previous comment still stands.

Were you on drugs when you saw it then?

 

[jeps]

No, but I did promise the first thing I ever would do if I took drugs was watch it again and understand it. (also a few rows behind me were a group of people who were so high that they wouldnt shut up about "man that movies so true! thats what it was like back then. it was so cool" "your f*in 16 man! you dont know what the 70s were like!" ....)

It is amazingly done for what it is.

For what it could be... not so much

I bowled a 665 series on Saturday 279, 194, and 192!
The 279 was (8/9/xxxxxxxxxx)

Me is happy, that's my best series, and second highest game ever
My highest gameever is a 288 I bowled last spring (xxxxxxxxxxx8/)

 

[jafink]

Wow! The highest I've ever gotten in bowling is ~150.

Something awesome happened today! I was trying to finish a poster for an assessment that was supposed to be tomorrow. I realized that I couldn't make it in time. But then my teacher decided to include an extra day!

 

[jafink]

I had a Physics lab to do today, but I was in a group with the two smartest kids in the class so I didn't have to do any work and I will probably get a really good mark.
