I got another person to start playing Starcraft! Unfortunately it's the first RTS she has ever played...
So while she was over this weekend I decided to use my influence (charisma modifier +11) to get Ashley to play Starcraft. But I guess since I'm making a post I might as well do the whole weekend.
Friday was pretty much just another day. Math chapter quiz at 8:30, English essay due 9:30, and midterm for programming at 11:30. Math quiz was cake, English essay was a lot of work but felt good turning it in, and the midterm was fairly easy since I had an hour after English to study up in the library. After school I was able to catch the earlier of the two possible buses I take home. Unfortunately this was because the bus was late and I missed my transfer at Aurora Village, so I walked home from there. Ok actually I realized I would miss it so I stayed on the bus for the next stop at 200th and Burke, but the bus driver decided to pass the stop so I got to get off at the stop light on Meridian and 200th so 1 less block to walk. Got home at a decent time, was semi-surprised when I realized Kelsey was home and didn't have school, but continued on my daily schedule. Cup-noodles, peanut-butter toast, and today I decided to spoil myself with a grapefruit. Grabbed some wheat thins and went down to the basement. I imagine at this point I played Guild Wars and took advantage of the Canthan New Year event to play some Dragon Arena (dodgeball), but I can't remember for sure. I wanted to throw a disc around to prepare for the Ultimate game on Saturday so I planned to pick up Ashley when she got home from school around 5pm and go to Shoreline.
WAIT WHAT ULTIMATE GAME?!?
Yeah so I had been chatting on facebook with Eric and he said he had a game at Shoreline on Saturday, and I could show up and possibly play. Ashley could come too since they needed girls.
It ended up being pretty cold by the time Ashley got home, and she hadn't eaten all day, so we decided to just hang out instead. I think we were both feeling lazy so we just watched Monk OnDemand and went to sleep early. Woke up around 5-6am and she went home with her eyes burning since she had been wearing her contacts for a really long time. We had breakfast at our respective homes and met back up around 8:45am to walk to Shoreline A+B (will be shortened to "Shoreline" from now on) and play some Ultimate. When we got there 30 minutes late at 9, we were told people would show up at 8:30, only Eric was there for their team. Another team was there and they were throwing around so we took the field and started getting warm. I felt really rusty but luckily I realized later that the consistency of my throws really didn't effect my game too much. Eventually more people showed up and we played. It was really fun, even though Eric's team is highly unorganized and we were facing a decent team with good organization. Needless to say we lost, but either way it was a lot of fun. Eric's teammates were all nice and inviting (no way, nice Ultimate plalyers? Who woulda thought.) and I felt fairly good with my play. Blocked a few, dropped a few, made a few good passes. It was fun. Afterward we walked home and Ashley went home to do homework. This is when I know for sure I played some Dragon Arena and had some fun.
Later Ashley decided to come over since she couldn't focus or something, and we hung out while she tried to study/do homework. After some time she decided to take a break from doing homework, and I suggested Starcraft. I already had her download Starcraft from ICcup so everything was pretty much ready to go. She doesn't have a mouse but I have a spare wireless that is decent so she used that. It was really weird at first since she had never played an RTS. I don't think I skipped over important aspects, but it's weird having to explain every little thing. Like, right click to move units, you can make a box around units by holding left click and dragging a box around them, really elementary level things. She learns really quickly though, and after 1 learning game we were playing 1v1s PvP with only gateway level tech. Limiting the tech to gateways and zealots was a great way to introduce her to the controls and basics of economy, military, and map control. I must say, teaching someone an RTS for the first time is really easy on Starcraft, since it can be viewed on a very basic level. But yeah I see a lot of potential and at the speed she learns she could be playing "4v4 noobs" in no time. The most interesting thing I found about her play is that she focuses a lot more on macro than micro, which is great but unexpected. I'm pretty sure when I was a noob, and I know this is probably still true for others of the clan..., I would watch my military attack the enemy and forget to build more unites. Ashley is almost the exact opposite. She will send her units in on attack run (or an attempted attack run), and then go back to her base to build more probes and zealots. One thing she forgets is pylons for population, but I've started to stress that a lot. Anyway 1v1 with only gateways and zealots yields some very interesting replays which I will upload on some site and link to here later. I'm thinking that next time we play I will add vespene gas and add dragoons into the mix. Then again maybe I should just add forge+cannons instead I haven't decided yet.
Alright well back on the Guild Wars subject, Canthan New Year was fun. I got to make use of the autoclicker to go afk on Nine Rings to gain lucky/unlucky and drunkard points simultaneously. One suggestion I have for David: make sure your autoclicker is set to click every minute EVERY time you use it, otherwise you might end up going through an entire stack of booze in half a second like me. 25k down the drain... oh well. I got really good at Dragon Arena and acquired quite a few Lunar Tokens which I exchanged for Fortunes (3 tokens for 1 fortune) for the 0.33% chance of getting a Celestial Ox miniature (1 in 300 I believe? I would have had to acquire 900 Lunar Tokens to "secure" that). I got one having used somewhere around 150 Tokens. The luck was on my side I guess. In addition I got the dragon mask festival hat and 15 crates of fireworks, which produce a 10 minute long firework show used only in a guild hall. I'll have to treat SOT to one of my 15 shows once we can get the guild (2 + me) online.
Great weekend overall, I enjoyed waking up earlier and increasing my weekend hours by 25% (yes I normally oversleep for many hours). However, I must end this post on a somewhat down note. I'm once again going to attempt to lessen (and if possible eliminate) the amount of hours I spend playing Guild Wars. Hopefully I will be able to fill my time with SWUF practice and school work. I'm not quitting games altogether, as I have a great time deriving new teaching techniques for the game of Starcraft.
Ok I lied, I'll end on a happy note. At first today (Monday) was a bit of a downer. I had that depressed feeling again. But then in math this morning my instructor mentioned my last quarter's final. There was one problem I may have mentioned to some of you that ticked me off because it involved remembering some random equation from a side note in the book. Well since I didn't remember the equaion, I attempted to derive my own equation given what I had. I don't remember fully, but I think I was given 2 questions, both involving an output of a function which I asssumed to be exponential, and something about the difference between the two. Somehow I managed to find my own constants by doing some logic steps, and apparently my answer was off by only a minute (like a 0.5% error or something). Anyway he told me about how he thought it was really good and how he bragged to his colleagues about it. That lightened my spirits. Then when I was in a better mood I realized that 24 would be on, and Heroes would be starting back up, so today ends up being a very happy day. Alright I guess that is all for now.

Life
Life is good. I haven't posted in a while just because... I didn't want to take the time to. For those of you who don't yet know Ashley lives down the street from my house now, so pretty much consists of a bit of school, maybe 1/6, 3/6 guild wars, and 2/6 Ashley. Aslo I'm starting to play console games again, so guild wars should be split into 2/6 PC gaming, 1/6 console gaming. I don't really want to waste any more time here... so I'll just do what I came here for and leave.
My monk looks awesome in gw now.

Starcrafting it up like it's 2005!
Hurray for ICcup! This is the most exciting reason to post so I'll do this first. I registered for the International Cyber Cup ladder recently so that I could start playing competitive Starcraft. I had to register as pr0noob5, because apparently I registered a while ago as pronoob5 but the stupid ICcup website wouldn't let me do password recovery. As I'm writing this I am currently 10-7 which isn't too bad, but isn't enough to get me to the next rank (D+). It's a pretty standard ladder as far as rankings go, and I hope to improve my skills and get back into Starcraft. However, if Orion ever decides to come back from non-gaming land, then perhaps I can fit in some Factions.
Ok starting this post again after a day of not working on it.
Yeah so life is decent. SCC is easy, get kinda bored afterward with not much to do, but I guess now I can always play ICcup and improve my pwnage. Also Ashley got Tetris DS for us so that will occupy a lot of my time I'm sure. I'm bored of posting already.

Worth Posting About
(Also so David will be my friend again)
So today was pretty sweet:
At first it started off shitty because of the night before. No, I didn't have a hangover. Ashley called while I was watching a movie with my mom and sister, so I said I would call her back after it was over. It was already really late but I planned on staying up for a while. Well, I kinda fell asleep during the movie, and even though I had asked my mom to wake me up if I fell asleep I remained asleep until Ashley called at around 11:00am. We were planning on hanging out today (Friday), but I guess she was mad since she was expecting me to call, and stayed up waiting for me to call. I can understand why she would be upset, but we never get to hang out and this made me mad/sad.
Fortunately things got better. I remembered that it was double fame weekend on Guild Wars so I hoped on my PC and started crankin' out some fame. I started somewhere like 30-40 fame below r5, and got to about 20-30 above r5 when Orion called and reminded me we needed to do the route, one last time. He came over and we did the route, his last throw was dead on.
We played double dash, again for the last time, and got a perfect 40 on all 3 cups... after... well lets just leave it at that. Orion wanted to play Ultimate/poker so we started thinking up people to call. We got together a decent group in no time at all, and since it was still hours before 6, we walked to Shoreline Center to throw a disc around. That was fun, I hadn't touched a disc in weeks, maybe months. Afterwards we started walking back to Orion's so he could tell his parents the deal. On the way there were three little kids selling lemonade, but they were having an "exercisers discount", so since we were walking we each got a free medium lemonade. They were nice kids.
Got to Orion's, found out his mom had planned a Turkey dinner for him, so I walked home and agreed to hold of starting poker until like 6:30 when he would probably get there.
Got back home, talked to my mom and sister for a bit as they played Animal Crossing upstairs on teh cube, and let my mom know about the plans. I realized I should have asked before inviting everyone, but I've come to learn that when Kelsey is going to my dad's, it means my mom is going to Gregg's.
People showed up, in an order I don't really care to remember atm, and we started playing DDR while waiting for more poker players. It's really fun to watch people embarrass themselves on DDR, and I'm also glad I found the memory card so I can maybe start playing it once in a while again too.
People showed up, we started playing poker.
There are probably lots of things to talk about that happened during the game, but poker is poker and it's similar every time. So if you have ever attended one of these "parties", you know what it's like. I'll save some space here because I know this post is already 10 times too long for my standards.
Everyone left, and I started to get a really good idea. I figured Ashley was still upset so I didn't bother calling her... I might regret that later... and I didn't think I had anything strenuous going on tomorrow, except now I remember Orion trying to plan Ultimate for tomorrow.. er today.. crap. Oh well. I decided to bust out the energy drink that Sai left here after last poker party, and settle down for the long haul of fame!! Long story short, it's now 8:11am Saturday morning, and I can't help feeling like I shat my pants. I don't know what it was, but as soon as I crashed, and I crashed hard, it felt like I had shat my pants. I literally had to check my shorts after a HA match to make sure I hadn't. Luckily I hadn't but I felt like shit.
I decided to go upstairs and get some cold water, thinking that would help a bit since I felt like passing out. It did help. Fortunately the group I had been with all night disbanded and I didn't have to feel guilty about leaving such an pwnage team without their best player.
I immediately went into the bathroom conveniently located less than 10 feet away, and.. well you get the picture.
Energy drinks = bad.
All nighters with double fame = good.
I've pretty much become as efficient a healer as possible, so I dare say I'm teh fucking pwnage now.
Wow... pwnage at an MMO...
What am I doing...
Time to go rethink my gaming career and pass out on the couch.

Sure Why Not
I don't post anymore. I don't know why. I am just too lazy. Posting is for my own benefit so that I can look back years later and remember what I was up to. For this reason, I'm going to start posting again. Occasionally. If I remember to.
Today I had an interview at Blue C Sushi. It went alright. He said he could probably give me two or three days a week, and that the other location in U-village might be able to give me other days. He being head chef Taka (if that's how you spell it).
Also I got a DS on July 3rd. It's sweet. I took it to Hoodsport for the bike ride with Orion and Davis, but they didn't bring theirs because Orion was being nice since I "didn't have one". Anyway, Brain Age is fun. I don't care what any of you say. I just pick it up for 10-30 minutes every day, complete the exercises, and then move on to something else. Also it has a ton of Sudoku on it which gives me something to do. I'm trying to get Tetris DS, but it's hard since they don't make it anymore. An ebay seller I'm tracking has 35 minutes left before I bid and hopefully get it. That will be sweet.
Life is... ok at the moment. Ashley and I don't hang out too much anymore, but when we do it's a lot of fun so I guess that's ok. Uhm, I kinda want to play Ultimate/Frisbee right now, but people seem to be busy/not calling me. Maybe Chris just gave up because people kept saying no. Oh well.
This is a lame post. Oh well.
Also, here is me training my brain:

Life
Ok so, my life is kinda fucked up right now. School is going down the drain, and I am quite possibly throwing away my life every day. I am currently failing health, which means I will not be gradating high school if I don't make some changes. That being said, to all my fellow Starcraft players, I must ask you a favor... do not allow me to play anymore. I'm serious. No matter how hard I want to play, you must stop me and tell me that I need to be concentrating on school work. I'll try to stay on Ultimate, but idk how long it will be until Suckol finds out about my grades and I'm kicked off. But yeah, please don't mention this stuff at Frisbee because I really want to be able to stay on the team. Bleh this is kinda hard to do right now. Ok another thing, I shouldn't watch Starcraft videos anymore either. Lately those have sucked up a lot of my time, and maybe if I don't feel compelled to keep up with all the Korean leagues right now, I'll be able to focus on school. Wait forgot to add the point to that last sentence, if you see me watching Starcraft or loading Starcraft videos at school, somehow stop me, no matter what I say.
Alright well besides school life is pretty good. Ashley and I are really happy together, and I see this lasting a really long time, as long as I stay on path with graduation and SCC.
I got a road bike on Sunday, and I'm really happy with it. I hope I will be able to spend more time biking, and perhaps that will cut the computer/vg addiction. bleh I don't want to write anymore.

Starcraft
I got tired of posting about Spring Break, so time to move onto Starcraft.
Sitting in Adult Living right now with nothing to do. I'm going to start being more active in TL (Team Liquid) again. I'm going to track Proleague and it's going to be really fun. I used up my 4 bets today, I'm still not sure how LiquidBets works. It said I had 4 bets open, so I bet on the 4 proleague matchups. It's the start of the season, so no games have been played yet. This is a great time to start betting. Btw you don't get anything for winning, just forum ranks I think. And by forum ranks I mean profile ranks that show under your name when you post on the forums.
Yesterday was my first day back to Starcraft in a loooong time. Keir is on Spring Break right now so I was able to play with him. We played something like 6-7 games, and won all but our last 2, which were both against teams of Koreans. I watched the replays this morning (Tuesday) and saw that one of the guys had over 300 apm, which is totally ridiculous. We could have done better that game to... had I not incorrectly assumed where my choke was =/. All our matches were played on Python 1.3, and were all really fun.
This paragraph probably should have come first, but w/e. So I got a new loader instead of BWL now. I now use the one I heard about from Combat-EX (Wasif1112). I'm not sure if that's the right link, but I can't check since I am at school and youtube is blocked. Anyway it is a really great program called Adv Loader that includes many features, including the all-important zerg mineral hack detection. That saved Keir and I from a wasted 20 minutes and pointless loss. Excellent program that is amazingly easy to use. There is one glitch involving Windows that I read about today, but it is easily solved.
Can't wait for more people to get back into Starcraft!!
**Edit: I will probably start making the montage again, so if you want to be in it, you better play with me. =P

Spring Break
Best Spring Break ever!!
Ok so Friday was the field trip for physics, and that was pretty fun. It wasn't really that it was amazingly entertaining, but it was better than having to spend the last day before spring break in class. We still had to go to first period though, which didn't really matter since it was just sitting there receiving our check from The School of the Rock Contest. Meh, wasn't that fun but better than having to rehearse. We got out of band really late, after everyone else had already walked to the highland ice arena, so the few of us that were in band and physics had to walk there late. We didn't get there very late though, because there was still a line to the door for getting ice skates, so I guess it was nice not having to stand in line very long. We went to the rink 2, at least I think it was rink 2, and skated around for a while. I guess there was a worksheet some people were working on, but nobody really cared about it since it could be bsed anyway.
After ice skating we went to Spin Alley and started the bowling half of the field trip. Now ice skating I'm not bad at since I have pretty good balance, but bowling, bleh I suck at bowling. I found out later from my mom that I have been bowling like... 3 times or something when I was in elementary school. I suck. It's not that I don't mind bowling, it might be fun if I did it more often, but it's frustrating to know I could do better but still mess up more often then not. We played one and a half games, and Eric Chan was by far the best in our group. Our group consisted of Anton, Eric, Orion, Davis, David, Sai, Eli, and I. I might be forgetting someone but oh well. Eventually the pizzas showed up and we had to eat some crappy veggy pizza until more showed up. I only had like 2 slices of decent pizza, and 2 slices of crappy veggy that I wanted to throw up the second I swallowed. Oh well there were a lot of people and $40 only goes so far. Was it only a $40 class fee? For some reason I remember it being higher.
After the field trip I did the paper route with Orion, we played some DD, and started recording our times. I probably went on GW after he left, but that was over a week ago so I can't remember.
Saturday
Um, probably played a lot of GW... yeah I wasted a lot of my break playing GW. I'm glad I stopped using xfire... because it would be very depressing to see how long I played.
Sunday
Hung out with Ashley at her house, that was fun.
Monday
Ashley came over and we played ping-pong and did other stuff.
Tuesday
Played Guild Wars, then Ashely came over and we did stuff. Afterwards I tried to start getting into a workout schedule again. As of today, Monday April 7, I have not continued. I think I'm going to keep like an exel chart or something.
Wednesday
Still felt like being active after yesterday, so I went outside and played basketball. Ashley came over later and we shot some hoops, then I was reminded of how good jump roping is for endurance. That's something I can do on the off days that I don't lift.
Thusday
Too be continued....

We played one and a half games, and Eric Chan was by far the best in our group. Our group consisted of Anton, Eric, Orion, Davis, David, Sai, Eli, and I. I might be forgetting someone but oh well. Eventually the pizzas showed up and we had to eat some crappy veggy pizza until more showed up. I only had like 2 slices of decent pizza, and 2 slices of crappy veggy that I wanted to throw up the second I swallowed. Oh well there were a lot of people and $40 only goes so far. Was it only a $40 class fee? For some reason I remember it being higher.
After the field trip I did the paper route with Orion, we played some DD, and started recording our times. I probably went on GW after he left, but that was over a week ago so I can't remember.
Saturday
Um, probably played a lot of GW... yeah I wasted a lot of my break playing GW. I'm glad I stopped using xfire... because it would be very depressing to see how long I played.
Sunday
Hung out with Ashley at her house, that was fun.
Monday
Ashley came over and we played ping-pong and did other stuff.
Tuesday
Played Guild Wars, then Ashely came over and we did stuff. Afterwards I tried to start getting into a workout schedule again. As of today, Monday April 7, I have not continued. I think I'm going to keep like an exel chart or something.
Wednesday
Still felt like being active after yesterday, so I went outside and played basketball. Ashley came over later and we shot some hoops, then I was reminded of how good jump roping is for endurance. That's something I can do on the off days that I don't lift.
Thusday
Too be continued....

21 The Movie
Thursday was a pretty cool day, followed by an even better evening.
Went to school, 2nd period Psych took notes, 4th period Calc took notes and got a worksheet, 6th period health watched "Supersize Me" and Ashley came with me since her class was on a field trip that she wasn't going on. After school Ultimate practice was just like every other practice. We ran a couple drills and then scrimmaged. Not very many people where there this time... only like 14-15. After practice I got my hopes up because Ashley left a message saying she might be able to go to the movie at 7:00. After getting home I txted Chris and said I wasn't going to take him, only to call him back later and change plans again.
Got home and worked on... something... I can't really remember but I remember I had to take a fatty dump and I took my laptop with me to work on something =P. Uh, some other stuff happened... my brain isn't really working... like too good... right now. Uhhhmmm... yeah. Chris came over around 6:00, and we left around 6:30. We got to the theater in like... 6 minutes or something it was freaking amazing. It was a bit past Northgate Mall, and we didn't know where exactly it was. Google maps directions were pretty good though, but it took us to the rear end of the theater, which worked out since we saw the line wrapping around to the back side. I parallel parked on the street behind, and we walked right to the line. Stood in line for like... 15 minutes? I don't remember, and I forgot my phone in the car so I didn't have the time. We talked about stuff for a while, and then got into the theater. They took our ticket, then we had to go through security which consisted of 3-4 cops and a guy with a metal detector wand thingy. We didn't bring a camcorder, which was lucky since we never would have got in. It was funny though, because the wand kept beeping, but the guy using it was just like ok so that must be your keys... beeeeeep, that must be some change in your pocket... beeeeep, that's your keys again. There was no way they would have fit a recording device in their pockets, but it was just funny how he didn't even care that it was beeping on every single person, and he just let them in.
Inside the theater there was a poker table set up, with people playing, of course, Blackjack. The movie was good, and Chris and I had a great time. I hope I can get more of those premiere tickets again some time.
I'll post later about today (Friday) and the field trip that we are going to go on.

So, you want a blog post?
Whaa Baaam!
How's this for a post!
Wow my weekend was... very secluded.
I spent... many hours playing Guild Wars.
Friday after going to my dads... GW.
Saturday before the Ultimate games... GW.
Saturday after the Ultimate games... GW.
Sunday after going back to Shoreline, but before driving to Camano Island where my Uncle and Aunt live... ok well then I just talked with Ashley.
Sunday after getting home at 7:00 from "brunch" with family... GW for a little and then other stuff.
Bleh, so much Guild Wars... yet so productive. I made a killing this weekend! So many awesome drops. I got enough Golden Eggs + Keys for treasure hunter on my monk, and almost enough gold items for Wisdom title on my main. I can't remember if the Wisdom title has an inherent effect, but I know with treasure hunter you get +3% salvage rate on lock picks and materials. I don't think that was +3% materials actually... just +3% chance to retain the item you salvage an upgrade component from. Either way a useful title.
Alright so I'm going to focus on Ultimate more I think... because I am receiving very positive comments from the coaches. Hmm... Bruegger thinks I could play "professionally" or at the college level. That's exciting to hear... but I highly doubt that SCC has an Ultimate Frisbee team. Maybe I can find a league with openings on teams somewhere. Either way I need to train harder and put more effort into practices... since lately I haven't really been trying or cared about practices at all. Yay for Ultimate!
Hmm... my grades are shit right now. I really hope that I can keep my license... since my mom said that if I didn't get a 3.0gpa she might not let me get insurance, and thus get my license revoked. That would not be cool, especially since I really enjoy driving her new car.
Alright well STAR is over and I don't feel like staying in Psych class any longer. I might make another post soon with more stuff that is going on. Could be as soon as next period, could take as long as a month. We'll see.

P a C 2!!
Friday was a pretty normal day. I went to school, listened to KZOK in band to listen for the results of the Battle of the Bands Contest we had entered. We got 2nd place, with Shorecrest taking 1st. 2nd prize is $5,000, half as much as Shorecrest's $10,000 grand prize. We were excited, but I think Harshman expected better. He called up Shorecrest's band director, his brother-in-law, during class and found that only 12 of their 72 students were in class, because of the Obama rally. Third period I sat in class and acted like I was paying attention while mindlessly copying down everything on the white board. Lunch was really windy and wet, so we decided to stay in the SAC. In creative writing we did some shit about figurative writing and using metaphors or something, and class actually went by really fast. That is going to be a decent class. After school Orion and I pwned up some houses, and did the weekly DD practice. I seem to remember us losing a lot, but w/e. Went to WS around 7:30, let the boredom begin.
Saturday started off fairly early for my standards. Woke up around 7, and did creative writing hw before going for some disgusting heart healthy cereal. After "breakfast" I went back upstairs and studied for the psychology test Tuesday. After lying around for awhile not doing much, I talked with Ashley and she suggested we hang out. I asked Andrea if I could borrow her car, since my dad was at work all day, and she was fine with it. So I drove the really nice Acura to Shoreline, picked up a disc and health hw, and drove to Mountlake Terrace. Driving a car for once is nice, but I've gotten so used to my dad's explorer, that I just like it more. Much bigger engine. Ashley and I walked to Mountlake Terrace High and threw a frisbee around, then it got cold so we walked back. Hung out at her house for a while... ok a long time. It was semi-awkward at times since her Aunts didn't know about me... and they were smart enough to assume things. Left around 12:15, and was really tired when I got home.
Bleh this post is already too long...
Sunday I woke up around 1:30 by my dad who came barging in with no knock telling me we had to leave at 2:30 for the funeral of my grandma's sister Lucy. I got dressed, went downstairs, and ate some French toast that was probably made hours earlier. I had to nuke it in the microwave, but it was decent. After Kelsey's shower I started to go into the upstairs bathroom, but my dad went downstairs and yelled "shit!" when he saw an enormous puddle in the kitchen below the bathroom. I had to use the downstairs shower, which was assembled incorrectly so that Cold and Hot are switched. Even though I already knew that, it was more like Cold and Cold were switched. After three showers, there was no hot water left. Took a 4 minute or less shower and got into my nicer clothes consisting of slacks and a button up shirt. We got to the funeral home in Shoreline, where we met my Cousin, Uncle, Cousin's mom (not my Aunt), Grandma, Lucy's daughter, and Lucy's daughter's... daughter (we call her my cousin but she is probably my second cousin or something). Funeral was short and small, we went to Marie Calendars afterwards because that was Lucy's favorite restaurant. We sat at the restaurant for a long time after everyone had finished, talking about various things. I learned about how much funeral homes try to take advantage of people by charging them way to much for anything they can think of. It's sick. Went home, worked on health hw, went to sleep.
So this week I am excited since I found out this morning that Soul Caliber, and Mario DDR (or w/e it's called) came over the weekend. Those will be fun. Also first track practice today, I feel that I'm ready, but we shall see. Still don't know what I'm going to do for Valentines day... suggestions?
Oh also, the title is P a C 2 because Pro at Cooking 2 came out friday. Can't wait until March 1st!!!

Semester 7: Complete
Just finished off the first semester of Senior year. Whoopie. Soooo like what to do... (see poll). Sorry about not posting for awhile, not that anybody besides David cares. I got back into Madden '07, but idk how long it will entertain me. Steven Finafrock is taking the Steelers to the Super Bowl this year, and making an appearance in the pro bowl, but sooner or later I will get bored of it again. Uhhhh yeah. I feel like playing Starcraft kinda, but at the same time I want to get back into Guild Wars. Also I'm not sure I really want to be playing video games right now. I just finished a puzzle yesterday and that was fun so I might just do another one. Meh... so many things to do... so much time to do them.

Hurray for driving!
Today I took my drivers test, and passed with a 96/100. I know, I'm pro. I missed 4 points on backing around a corner, but I'm not sure why... I think it might have been because I was too far away from the curb or something. My tester obviously just wanted to get through it, since my appointment was at 1:30, and we finished around 1:20. Just because I have my license doesn't mean anything is going to chance, because I still don't have a car. I guess this just means that I can drive when my mom is home.
Anyway, life is awesome right now. So many good things happening to me, I have a feeling something very bad is about to change my life... oh well. Almost 18! I can just about smell it.. it smells like porn and poker chips, though I have become less interested in both lately.

Winter Break: In Review
Overall, an amazing break. I'll start with the last day of school...
Last day of school before break I watched... 2 movies and played ping-pong. After school we wanted to play some frisbee, so David, Davis, Orion and I threw a disc around at Shorewood because Orion needed to talk to Mr. Noise, who was in a parent conference. We waited for awhile, but the conference didn't end so we started to head over to Shoreline A + B. We threw a disc around for awhile, then Sai got out of swim practice and we played a weak 2v2 game until David and Sai had to leave. Orion and I threw the disc around for awhile and then Ashley showed up after working on her project. We continued to throw around for what seemed like a really long time, though it was fun and good practice for the two newbies. It got dark, and I had to go to my dads house, so we stopped at around 5... though it was awhile ago so I might be off.
Stayed at my dads until Christmas. Not much happened, I was sick for a couple days, we went to the Men's Chorus with my grandma, got last minute shopping done. Christmas Eve dinner was at my grandmas with my dad's family as usual. It was nice seeing family again but... it lasted until like 1 am and we were all really tired. My dad let me drive back to the Shoreline house and I slept until 10:30 pm Christmas day.
Christmas was Christmas, my mom's family came over and we did the usually Christmas dinner, nothing special. Played ultimate a couple days after Christmas, and that was really fun. We had a good turn out that included Ashley, David, Davis, Sai, Bodon, Zack, Bjorn, and Melvin who is Zack's friend. Not a bad game, my team, consisting of Ashley, Melvin, David, and I, lost miserably, but it was still fun. Also I got hit in the face (see below).
Break continued, and so did my procrastination. Didn't get much done, but watched a few movies and played some Starcraft. Eventually Orion wanted to get in on some ultimate so we tried to get something together last minute, which failed and left Ashley, Davis, Orion and I throwing a disc around for awhile until we got bored. Davis was hungry, so we went to Taco Bell where Davis and Orion got some quesadillas... am I spelling it wrong or is it not in the blogger dictionary? We then went back to my house and played some Wario Ware for awhile.
Next day Jack felt bad for not showing up to the frisbee event the night before, so he planned a huge ultimate game at 10. Ashley was having internet problems so she came over early and she worked on her college apps for awhile and then we hung out. Jack came over maybe 20 minutes before the game and played some Wario Ware with us. Then we went to the Ultimate game, which was amazing. The teams were Zack, Chris, Jeff Bair, Mike (aka Big Mike), Adam and I against Jack, Ashley, Willa, Ryan, Ian, Nick (Chelsea Grossman's fiance), and Andrew Namkum. We won 13-2, it was amazing, so was I.
New Years Eve. Ashley was asking me about what I was doing, so I invited her to the GoW party saying she could come with the approval of David and Sai. I guess it was approved. She made up some excuse to come over early, so she was dropped off and got here around 1:15. I think we started off playing ping-pong in the garage. There was a lot of crap in front of the table, so we had to move everything to the side. Ping-pong was fun, I played easy on her but she was decent for someone who doesn't play. After a while we went inside, and Italian Job was in the DVD player so I decided I wanted to watch that. We sat on the couch and the movie started playing. Ashley isn't very good at paying attention to movies. We sat on the couch like two friends would do, but she eventually she leaned over and gave me a kiss on my cheek. I was pretty surprised by this, because I didn't know she felt that way about me. She said something like, "You know, I like you too. You don't have to worry." Some combination of those two sentences. At this point I got kinda nervous. My heart started beating, and I knew what was going to come next. She was waiting for something... but I wasn't sure I was ready to ask. She repeatedly said things like, "Isn't there something you want to ask me?" and, "Nothings different yet." Eventually I asked the obvious question, and she said yes. It was a very happy time. We lied together on the couch, and started doing things only now that we were in a relationship could we do. Hmm that sounds really bad... yeah we just kissed for a bit. I was very happy. It was a very happy evening. (If you are reading this, yes. I did edit this later and put most of the above in after the original post.) Around 6:50 or so we left for David's via the van my mom is borrowing from the Grossman family. The party was decent. Played some smash, 2v2 GoW, 3v3 Halo, and missed the countdown to the new year (>.<). Ashley said she had fun.
First day of the year. Played some Quinn, which transformed into Starcraft and our single game of Snowball Wars for the 2007 Winter break. Needless to say we pwned. Sai signed on so we played Helms Deep instead, then a 4v4 game that didn't go so well.
Today, the last day before school, I did my psychology homework having realized the night before that we had been assigned notes. That was fun1.
Yeah like I said overall this break was amazing. By far my best winter break yet, and probably the best of any of my breaks during the year. Not too bummed that it's over, looking forward to daily frisbee again. Also I think my life will start getting better. I'm going to try to be more organized and get hw done early, as my part of my New Year's Resolution always has to do with doing hw.

Whap happens when you are playing ultimate and you run up to gaurd an inexperienced player?
...you get hit with a frisbee thrown at full force in the face.
it hurt.
Wednesday we played ultimate from 4:30 to like....some time after 4:30, maybe around 6? Ok well we didn't play ultimate that whole time, first we were throwing a disc around, we being Davis, David, Zach R, and Melvin (I think that was his name) who is a friend of Zack's and coached Zack when he was on SW ultimate. After awhile Zack decided we should do 2v2 with perma handler, but then Sai and Bodon finished their swim practice and they joined us. Oh also Bijorn (idk how to spell it, bee-yorn) a friend of Zack's I have hung out with many times showed up. that made it 4 on 4. we played maybe one point, then Ashley was dropped off and we played 4v5 for awhile. My team got pwned, but I blame it on having been hit in the face, and having more inexperienced players, our 3 to their 2.
Christmas was good too I guess, but that will take awhile to post about so instead I will add some specifically good gifts I received. Got a miniDV camcorder from my dad that my cousin said is really good. Got a $100 gift card to best buy. Got a poster of Transformers signed by cast. Got a ps2 game from my cousin, which is funny because I have gamecube in Shoreline and xbox in West Seattle, and he guesses ps2.
Shoot one more thing I just remembered I was going to post about, I had a very gay experience before christmas... my grandma wanted to go to the Men's Chorus at Benaroya Hall. It was gay.

Escape + Spring Reign
This weekend I was introduced to escape games, which can become extremely addictive. For those of you who don't know what an escape game is, they are point and click based puzzles that require you to interact with your room in order to escape. You click things, gather items, combine and use items, and ultimately find a way to open the door and escape. For a good list of escape games, look here :list of escape games
One particularly good room that I escaped with the help of Ashley and Nick, (a guy from Cali), was muselock, found here: muselock
Don't get too frustrated, just ask for some help if you need it. Also it makes it more entertaining if you try to solve together with someone else, making it easier and faster as well.
Try not to get too addicted, remember to take breaks and then go back with a fresh mind. I found it helps to work on a different room for awhile so you can get a look at different types of puzzles and styles, then go back and look at it a different way.
One last note, we need to play more ultimate. I found a video of Churchill's freshman team, normally called B division team, at Spring Reign 2007. We played them in the semi-finals, and you can watch clips of the game at around 3:30. Of course the clips are designed to make them look good and us bad, but we do suck, and they did beat us 13-3. Churchill is one of the better teams no doubt, and don't expect us too look like them this season. =P

What's up?
Here are a couple of things I found amazing...
first a random video from break.com that Chris showed me: http://break.com/index/sweet-move-in-wheelbarrow-race.html
Second a pretty cool starcraft game that I thought I would post:
Ok so we need to play more Starcraft, or people should send me replays, because honestly most of the ones I thought were good...make us look like shit.
That is all.

Starcraft Montage!
David, Sai and I were playing some Starcraft Sunday night and Sai made this hilariously awesome SCV rush that pwned this zerg player, when I realized I have a lot of good replays from games we have had. At this point I decided to make a montage of some of our great Starcraft moments. Not only would this finally put SOT on youtube, but I will have a lot of fun making it also. Uhh... I can't think of anything else to say right now so yeah. Oh btw sorry about that last post, I was obviously in a bad mood.

FUCK. oh also read the post below i made earlyer today when i was in a good modo. adlfkjad fuck.
Mmmm Turkey
It's been awhile since I made a post about life in general, so I'm not sure where to start. I guess I'll just talk about this weekend so far since a lot has happened and nothing interesting happens during the school week. Oh, besides me winning HoH in Guild Wars again and this time opening the chest before the time expired. Ok so Wednesday after school.. I think that was the day I was going to take the bus so I wouldn't have to go to Top Foods but I missed the bus so I went and walked around Tops for 30 minutes or so. Got to get in on the future new product at the student store. By the way David, I was right you don't have to be in DECA to be in marketing, it's just an option. When I got home Zack told me about how Eastern has extremely sweet computers with very large monitors set up JUST for gaming. They have tons of games pre-installed and since it's a college the internet is like... lag-less. He then talked about how he started playing Starcraft and wanted me to play again, so I looked into getting that fixed. Also Wednesday I downloaded some new music.
Thursday was Turkey Day, and yes, I ate too much turkey and other traditional thanksgiving foods. After dinner I didn't even feel up to shoving down some pie into my already overflowing stomach, but I managed to find space =P. Started playing Starcraft again, and met up with Peter, Ben, Albert, Oliver, and most importantly Keir on Bnet. I could barely control my excitement to be back on the battle field, but I managed to control my childish joy in order to keep good composure in the Skype conference. Even though I think I went 1-2, with the only win being Keir and I vs. Ben, it was still a lot of fun.
Friday I woke up and immediately went from breakfast to Starcraft. David was playing Mass Effect, but since he is a good friend, he played some Starcraft with me, and the others that got on later. We played some ums maps and I got a few of the good ums maps we used to play from David through Skype file sharing. While on Bnet, Peter said he might be able to come up North to Shoreline for a day or two, so we started planning a frisbee game.. that never ended up happening. David came over around... 4:30 or some time around there because once again he is a great guy, and Orion wouldn't answer his phone so we could plan the paper route. By 5:00pm it was already really dark so David and I rushed to get the paper route done before Peter would hopefully arrive. It was really cold but I think we may have made a new record for paper route delivery time. After the route David and I pwned up some GCN and waited for people to arrive. Eventually Orion and Alex got here with still no sign of Peter. I was told at this point that we would have a good amount of people for a frisbee game, but I will talk about my annoyance with this later.
We gamed on the Cube/PC until a little before 9, then we headed over to Shoreline A/B fields in hopes of having a game of ultimate started soon. When we got there one of Zack's friends pulled up at the same time, and we threw a couple discs around for a few minutes until everyone else showed up. When everyone else got there, they decided, (or more Gerard decided), that they were going to play football instead. I really don't like playing football because it seems so skill-less and non-strategic when they play it. Alex, Orion, David, Chris and I continued to throw the discs around for awhile. That got old after awhile and we decided we should go make sheer pwnage. At this point it was 10:15 and we didn't have a video camera on hand. We drove to David's in hopes that his sister had the video camera at home, but she had lent it to a project partner for some reason.
We sat at David's house listening to Alex play acoustic, before realizing we were cold and some of us were hungry. On the way to my house to pick up Alex's wallet and keys, Orion tried to predict the change of the red light, but instead ended up looking stupid sitting halfway into the intersection with a red light. Right as he had crossed almost completely passed the cross-walk and he and I were laughing with random "shits" in there, a cop took a left turn coming from the opposite side in front of us. At this point the "shits" and laughs increased, and we saw him slow down as he decided whether or not to turn around, luckily for us he was feeling generous and kept going. We kept going down 185th towards Aurora, seeing another cop car on the way. Good times, too bad we didn't have the camera.
Sat at Denny's for awhile, probably made the "clumsy" waitress think we were all high and had the munchies. Orion's car had died when we got there and he couldn't start it, but luckily after we were done, it had enough juice to start. Afterwards we drove back to my house, but unfortunately the downstairs was taken by my mom and sister who were watching..ugh..Hairspray... We decided to go our separate ways, but Orion's car wouldn't start again. We sat in the basement for around 20 minutes on the computer, hoping his car would start given a break. No such luck. He left it here and jogged home deciding he would come back with his dad tomorrow (Saturday) and pick it up then.
So far not much has happened today. We (meaning I) put up Christmas lights on the house, and Orion picked up his car. No one was on aim/msn so I decided to make this blog post and hopefully by the time I was done people would be on and ready to play Starcraft. None of the Clan is on right now, but I'm not on Skype so I'll try that now. Sorry this post was so long, but you're the one who was willing to read it all. And besides, this isn't so much to inform others of what happens, but to have a record of things we did so that, with my poor memory, I can look back and remember all the good times we had. Ok time to go get my micro back. -pronoob5 is back!

Household Hackers
So I was surfing youtube like I do every weekend I am at my dads, when I came across some really cool experiment type videos I thought would be interesting to try. I think I have all the materials, except maybe an extra mini jack audio cable and a RCA cable, but someone might have extra they are willing to spare, or I could just go buy one of each since neither would be very expensive. Next weekend for sure I'm going to try some of these out, so if you're interested leave a comment and we will set a time that is good for everyone who wants to check it out. The good thing about this plan is, even if no one responds, I can still do these on my own and film them or something.. except for my lack of a video camera..
Youtube profile: http://www.youtube.com/user/HouseholdHacker
Website: http://www.householdhacker.com/
I plan on trying all three and none of them should take long so there will also be time for gaming/poker/ultimate/whatever.
Also since the poll is doing well I think I'll extend it to see if any more votes come in.

The Legend of Pi
For those of you who are not interested in Guild Wars, I would stop reading now.
Yeah so I'm pretty sure Pi is one of the best guilds out there.. other than the fact that we are not quite on the guild ladder atm. All of the officers/members are friendly and willing to help, and the leader of Pi is an all around great guy. I met up with him before I was actually in the guild, and he was gracious enough to give my monk - at that time unranked - a chance at LoD/infusing* for a ranked group. It was great times. We got great fame runs, and I gained a lot of experience in monking as he gave me pointers along our path the the Hall of Heroes. When our time to prove our selves at the top of the international tournament finally arrived, we were unfortunate enough to suffer a 3 way tie between two other amazing teams (yes I realize I am very inconsistent with spelling out numbers). After that day time passed on, but I would never forget that voice that led us to victory time and time again.
So another day, probably a month later, I am sitting in RA id1 waiting to join battle, when some officer of Pi spams a recruiting message for The Legend of Pi. Prior to this date I had already thought about leaving The Sacred Order of Teriyaki in the hands of Orion or David, but I had not yet given it up. It was at this point that I decided it was time join a guild that could take me places, instead of the dead-end 10 person - 2 people at any given time - max population of our guild. From here on out, it was smooth sailing into rank 3 hero.
So yeah, the day I was invited I hopped on the vent server and chatted it up with a couple of the officers who were there just talking about stuff. They were very inviting and I felt good about my decision to leave Teriyaki. The very next night, as we do every night, our leader got on and organized an ha run (I not amazing at grammars, but "a ha" sounds weird). When I got on the vent server after taking the role of N/Rt healer for a SWAY group, who's voice did I hear? None other than the gracious leader who had taken me in and given me pointers over a month ago. He didn't recognize me by voice, but when I mentioned the three way tie in halls, he remembered. Good times.
So now, what this post was all leading up too, the grand finale, the conclusion! It has almost been two months since I first joined Pi, (1 month and 25 days, but who's counting?), and I have been officially made Officer. Finally my skills and activity (as opposed to inactivity?**) have payed off, and now I can participate at a higher level within the guild. This includes participating in officer of the week, getting a vote for the next guild hall, having a say in what our guild cape should look like, have access to the "officers only" portion of the website, and most importantly.. Recruit new members! Heck, if SOT gets a bit better, I could get it in our alliance and perhaps go back to SOT and still be able to GvG and ha with Pi! Oh btw Pi is not currently recruiting because we have a lot of inactive members and we need to trim down the size of the guild.
Btw I have taken lots of fraps videos of GvG's and Ha runs for anyone who wants to see them. Haven't made them into videos but if you just want the raw videos put your email into a comment or email me @ pronoob5@gmail.com.
*At the time LoD/infusing was a very important role that prevented members of the part from being spiked down. However in the patch of Thursday, November 8th, 2007, LoD was nerfed and WoH took it's place as the WoH/infuser.
**I have no idea if activity can be used to describe the amount of time being spent on Guild Wars, but I know the root "active" describes whether or not you play often so I just assumed activity would work.

Life
So per request I am making another blog post. Okay well Halloween was recently... that's a good starting point. Ok so as 3/4 of the people reading this post already know about the Guild Wars events, I will talk briefly about it. So yeah it was a gamer weekend with a bonus PVP game which was costume brawl. I played it a bit, not as much as I would have liked. Also the main cities were decorated with Halloween attire, they looked pretty cool. During the event there were special items - or treats you could say - that give certain bonuses, or just get your drunk. I found a great way to farm* these items and other rare items and it was good times. On Halloween this guy comes and gives you free items and festival hats that are only available for one day. Ok enough of Guild Wars.
Lets see what else has happened.. worked on brain project with Sai, learned about Bloon Tower Defense, lost our soccer game, started watching Starcraft replays on youtube again, got very addicted to Starcraft replays again, and once again got asked to go to a midnight ultimate game which I had to turn down because of being at my dad's house. Yay being left out!
Other than having to be here, life is good. Chris got a 360 with his birthday money, (I assumed that last part), and I might have to spend more time over there now seeing as how it is two blocks away and just too convenient to pass up. I'm trying to recruit more people to ultimate, but our ratio of guys:girls is looking increasingly worse. Optimal would be 4:3 since we have to field 3 girls, look like at best we are going to get around 5:1. But other than that looks like we will have a good year, lot's of new players with promising attitudes and effort. Last year it was just sad because 3/4 of the team was new to the sport, and the other 1/4 was just okay (generally speaking).
Dammit I made a longer post than usual. I guess this means I will have to read everyone else's long posts. Off to surf blogs then.
Oh and Go Hawks! -- almost game time it was on my mind =P

stuff
A lot of stuff has happened lately, but I just haven't had the motivation to post. Here are some of the things that have been going on:
1. HEROES OMFG!
I have become addicted to the show heroes in the span of like a week. I started watching the first season on tv-links since I could only find the second season on nbc. that worked well for awhile, until the guy who hosted the site was arrested, and the site shut down. this was a major drawback to watching heroes, and i watched lots of movies on that site. oh well.
2. GVG IS PWNAGE!!
In Guild Wars the guild i'm in recently starting gvging again, which is great because it is a lot more fun than anything i have experienced in guild wars yet. i could go on, but those of you who play guild wars will likely hear me talk about it often, and those who don't couldn't care less.
3. *UNDER CONSTRUCTION*
i can't think of stuff right now so i'll go back and edit this post later when i think of something. i definitely don't have anything else to do here (at my dads).

NEW POST WTF?!
Pure Pwnage Episode 15 is screening on Nov. 3rd in Vancouver B.C., and i think we should go see it. we always make big talk about doing things - sheer pwnage - but we never actually follow through. this could be something easy and close by that we could do and remember for a really long time. Nov. 3rd is a Saturday so it's a perfect day to do it. I know i won't have any plans that weekend - i never have plans - so lets freaking do something memorable instead of sitting at home every weekend.
Also if any of you are interested in playing ultimate this year, you should get in on these night games we play. we had one tonight that was down right pwnage. i know i didn't call anyone, but that's because whenever i suggest doing things at night everyone is opposed to it. Stephen Erikson and Andrew Namkum were two new people there, and i think they might join the team if that encourages others to join also. looks like its going to be a great season and i hope we can start practice early this year.

Bo Burnham
I'm pretty sure i have told everyone about this guy already, but just in case i haven't, i need to make a post about him. So hes this comedian/musician on youtube that makes hilarious videos. Unfortunately he updates about as much as Pure Pwnage. anyway hilarious shit, idk why he doesn't get 1 million views a video, or at least 5ook. figured i would spread the word and try to get more people watching so that he would update more often.
freaking hilarious

PAX
PAX was great. I'm not sure I need to say much more since the only people that will read this are the people I went with. Oh well, quick overview.
Friday mostly walking around and checking everything out. Orion and Davis did a long magic tourney for most of the day, and David and I did a GH2 tourney where we only managed past the first round since it was my second time playing the game ever. We spent time in the exhibition hall getting tons of free game demos and trials, along with posters and discounts for gaming products. Oh, and I can't forget the BAWLS. We finally got our hands on some bawls, and I thought it was great. (For those of you thinking I am gay, bawls is a caffeine drink).
Saturday was a pretty exciting day. Orion David and I were all signed up for a GW sealed...skill? deck?... tourney. Hero battles with 80 random skill cards. Orion was first up. Went 2-1 possible only losing his first game because he was new to hero battles. I went 1-2, realizing I rushed the build process way to much and ended up with shitty hero's that didn't do my planned combos, and I horrible warrior build that I controlled. Looking over my cards, I could have pwned much more. Later that day Orion and I went to our DD (Mario Kart:Double Dash) tourney. As was usual with the console tourneys, it was delayed. We did one practice run, and then scouted out the competition as everyone else played many practice runs. Format was 8 teams per race, 4 races per match, top 2 of every match moves on. We did well in the first round ending up tied for 1st (See Orion's blog soon for exact places of each race). Second round was a bit closer. I know we got a 5th, witch I was thinking would end our tournament dreams, however we managed a final race 1st and pulled into second. Top 2 whoo!! FINAL ROUND! We pretty much got pwned. There were clearly racers better than us, and they rightfully won, but we did manage to scrap out a modest 6th. I'm proud of us, and can't wait for next year.
Sunday we were entered in the GoW tourney. Lol I know hilarious right? I'm not sure why David thought we would do well, it was quite clear we all sucked after our "warm-up" in the console freeplay the day before. I'll hold the match details for us to know, and never release (hopefully). We didn't get past the first round.
Overall good times. Oh fuck... long post... sorry I guess now i have to read your guys' long posts.

Exhaustion: Take Two
Second soccer practice, even more exhausting. I don't know if I will do cross counter now... soccer is tiring enough. Made some new edits to teh blog of pwnage, the layout has changed a bit, and now I have some more options with what to do with it. Also, I've decided to let you guys pick songs that I should add to teh blog. Something like, every Monday I'll take the suggestions and put them into a vote, then whichever wins will be the song for the next week. Hopefully this will encourage more people to visit teh blog of pwnage more often.

Exhaustion
First day of soccer practice with the Blue Angles today, and I can safely say that I haven't felt this exhausted since soccer last year.. actually probably since soccer with SW. It's a weird feeling when you haven't felt it in a long time. I went home, got the water pitcher, and sat down in a comfortable chair for 45 minutes. Every 5 minutes after the first 30 minutes I tried to get up, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. Finally I made it downstairs, got on aim, apologized to Stefano for missing the first xc practice, and am now typing out my first good post in a long time. Hopefully posting will become more regular now, since I'm going to be more active now. Also I'm slowly giving up Maple.
One last note: you may have noticed that I'm using correct spellings and capitalizations, and this is because I figured I would get a head-start on getting into "school mode".

PAX
In light of the upcoming gaming expo, i think I'm going to take a needed break from MMOs and revert back to cs:s. Also... I NEED STARCRAFT!! Seriously my longing for some protoss pwnage is causing my other gaming to seem boring. If anyone could let me borrow ANY starcraft and broodwar cd's they have, with ANY cd keys they have would be great. It doesn't matter that you got the cd key from me, because i lost my cd key, so any will do. I NEED SC NOW!!

OMG THE HALLOWS!
So I read hp yesturday, sunday. It was a pretty good book. I didn't really like the final duel, but thats ok it was fun to read. Sooo yeah. I was proud of myself for finishing it in a day so i decided to post about it. Oh i got it! this post can double as a wedding post.
My cousin got married on saturday, happy times. There was around 200 people at the wedding...around 180 of them who i did not know. it wasn't very entertaining, but the reception was at some really nice country club in the last gated community in seattle, so it was kinda big deal. they had good food and a nice golf course. sooo yeah. oh and another cousin had to the book for me and gave it to us after the wedding. so thats why i had it and didn't read it until sunday.
in other news PP comes out tomorrow as i was told by jack. oh and i got my hair cut. thats about all for now. Happy Gaming.

XC
I went to my first practice on Monday, and realized how out of shape I am. I'm not sure how far we ran, but I know not as far as they normally would have. So they will just have to be held back for a week or something as I get back into running haha. Oh well, gives me something to do.
A couple days ago I played sc at sai's house, and realized my micro is not what it once was, and i wish to play it again. So we are going to find a solution! We can start with using different cd-keys. If anyone with a cd-key could email it to me then that would be great. The next step would be to try different cds. Well, i hope this works.

Saturday - Tuesday
Well, most of this time was spent with my head in front of a toilet. Being sick sucks, espessialy for me since it always involves vomiting every 30 minutes. I don't know if it is this way for many people, but I get sick maybe once every two years, with many "sick" days in between, and on those rare occassions i do catch a bug, it always results in my body deciding everything must go! You know it's not good when you havn't ate or drank anything for awhile...and your vomit turns green... I'm pretty sure i fucked up my body pretty bad. After awhile my mom finally realized that she should go buy non-diet ginger ale... because she researched online that artificial sweeteners such as those found in diet products, are bad for you when your sick. Thanks a lot... jerk. Anyway feeling much better now. I'll probably take it easy tomorrow for the 4th, and be ready for frisbee or anything on the 5th, if i don't get too drunk that is.

Sheer Pwnage!
btw i forgot to talk about sheer pwnage in that post so ill just make a new one. we started making sheer pwnage on campus day after the students totally pwned the staff at a game of ultimate. 11-3 or something like that. before i forget, we might play in a summer ultimate league, so it would be sweet if we got more people. back to sheer pwnage, we filmed like...5 mins of stuff in somewhere upward of three hours. pretty much we just went Back To Baghdad, but i guess that wasn't a huge waste of time. anyway, sheer pwnage - stepmania - frisbee - guild wars, life is good.
sTePmAnIa!!!!
stepmania is really addicting. thats the only game i have been playing for awhile, and im getting much better. i guess it will be my micro practice after i lose quinn. after all, i gotta keep my micro up for Starcraft 2... damn im going to have to keep it up for a long time...
Happy Gaming

Tetris, Quinn style
Yeah so quinn is probably the best game for macs ever made. Yep, it beats out breakout, super breakout....photoshop....
But seriously though, I actually played tetris today in place of guild wars. That was crazy. But now i have something to show for it. Thats right, number one on a public server. Eat it. I can't remember the ip right now but if you check the site it's one of those. *Btw the score there isn't nearly my best score, it was just all i needed to get first on that server. Ok well, time to go play some more tetris!

As Bored As Bored Gets
So I'm sitting at my dad's surfing the guild wars wiki planning out my gaming experience for the upcoming weeks, and I have set myself a plan. First I am going to go skill capping with my elementalist. After I have all the core and prophecies elite skills, I am going to complete the "bulding the base: prisoners of war" quest in Elona in order to change my elementalist's secondary profession to a dervish. Then I will travel back to Tyria and go totem axe farming, since it is the perferred weapon in my 55hp monk build, and would be good for my dervish running build. Not to mention its worth a good sum of gold.
Yep, pretty damn bored.

I'm such a druggy
So today i went up to get some chips, and my mom noticed i had been sniffing a lot lately. so she says, "If i didn't know better...I'd say you were snorting something.... pause... Steven let me see your nose." So i like turn my face and act like I'm hiding something. Good times. besides that i realized that im going to miss our ultimate championships this weekend due to going to Victoria....damn Victoria day being on the same day as ultimate...
Tetris seems to be all the rage at school now. We had a room with like 8 or 9 people at one point, it was pretty sweet. Most of them were noobs but either way it was fun.
Happy times.

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium War
freaking awsome game. i downloaded the demo, now im going to see if i can get the game... without exactly paying for it...
--EDIT--
that post was not nearly long enough to give the game its needed props. ok so tonight im starting the dl of C&C3, along with a movie that we are going to do a mock of for a spanish project. anyway back to the game. soon they are going to be releasing a free program that lets you watch replays and interact with them using common paint tools. so if the dl ends up to b some jip, ill be getting that for sure so i can at least watch replays and gaze longingly as noobs are pwned.
Oh, and one more thing. i dont know much about the game yet, but i know enough about rts to know this is a hilarious replay.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7742561257949571262&q=command+and+conquer+3+match&hl=en
this just shows, that sometimes noobs can beat pros, like when jeremy was pwned by a flame tank in episode 4.

English
English today made my whole day 5 times better. So we had to do these pointless presentations on persuasive techniques, because i guess he thinks that we learn better from our peers then we do from him, which could be true because no one listens to him. so chose groups of two, and chose persuasive techniques to learn about and present to the class. so everyone was had to make powerpoints that were 4-6 slides each, and talking about them for 1-2 minutes each. we were running through presentations going at a decent pace, and then abu....neiser?....(pardon my spelling but i think you all know who im talking about)...had to make his presentation. ok so first of all, the prior powerpoints had all had nice backgrounds and color themes and stuff...his powerpoint was white, with black text. his first slide, the word, and the definition. this slide had about 6 mispelled words. including genral (general) about 3 times. next slide was something about how you use it, but it was again white backgroud with black text, and many mispelled words. the final slide was the best....examples. his first example was, maxim is like when you call a little person a midget. oh but his sentence had a few spelling mistakes again. the next example made the whole class crack up. we had watched "The Color Purple" in class before, and he tried to relate to that.
"When albert told silly she was ugly"
"(the colored purple)"
for one, "Silly" is supposed to be "Celie", and the "colored" purple, was the "color" purple. this just about had me and the rest of the class roflmao. good times.

THE HALL OF HEROES!!
Yeah so the hall of heroes is the like the superbowl of guild wars. heroes ascent is the pvp tournament in which players from around the world participate for a chance to claim the hall for their country. needless to say, getting here is no easy task. The tournament consists of 9 arenas, many of which are 1v1v1, which lead up to the hall of heroes. after winning a battle in the hall of heroes, a couple lines of text are sent to every guild war players chat box including the party leader or guild, and what country they won the hall for. eventually, i hope to see The Sacred Order Of Teriyaki holding the hall for America. Unfortunately this isn't going to be possible with the limited skill selection of prophecies...
Hott Fuzz
Went to see hot fuzz on Saturday with Sai, David, Amanuel, and mini Sai. Movie was pretty funny, even more funny after having seen Shaun of the Dead 2 days before. Anyway before the movie we played some smash and such. Then afterwards, David was going to give us a ride back to sai's for some more smash..but... there was another car that was double parking David's car. The weird part was...it was still on. It was kinda funny. We were just like okay....so now what. Then the manager and some other employees came out and were like ok so we called the cops, but we might be able to get you out if we move this van next to you. So the owner of the van moved, giving us enough space to get out. Good times.

long time no post
havnt blogged in a long time with all the gw playing, but somehow its not consuming my life as much as starcraft was. its kinda wierd, but im sure davis and ben would understand completely, starcraft can have this wierd effect on the mind..
anyway i was bored and checking out some youtube videos, this one i found pretty funny, but it got really bad comments because people were expecting something serious and not something funny.
-EDIT-
OMFG HE MADE A SECOND ONE!!
btw this is also a hint at something we should do again some time..

Double Post
for my second post in spanish today i felt i needed to mention that i am about to pick up my computer, and throw it on the ground. dolphin olympics is such a simple game, that it pisses me off. sooo simple, but i always fucking mess up once at the end and miss the tailslide. im fucking pissed now cause i played it all period and only have like 11m to show for it. fuck that game.
Risk
So sunday at around 2:30 david and i went to sai's house to make a campaign video, but apparently that ment play some risk first. so we played a game of risk that took less time than any other full game of risk. we did missions, and random grab, and it was sai, david and i. my mission was to eliminate green, but since there was no green, control 24 territories. i started with 3/4 in south america, a couple in north america, and like 4 in europe. my intial strategy was to take control of south america and europe, but i didnt want david to take north america, so i put some defensive units there. my first turn i took over both south america and europe, and made an alliance with sai between europe and asia so that we would not attack eachother, an alliance i broke the very next turn. now i controlled two continents and felt pretty good about my position. next was sai. he took austrailia and a lot of asia, but didnt do any harm to me. david took over africa in his turn, and made large efforts in north america, losing many troops but managing to control all of it. my second turn, i recieved something like 13 troops, put them on south america, and europe. from south america i took the spread out north america, and from europe i took the spread out asia. i won on my second turn. that was the greatest game of risk ever.

Saturday
What a short day. Friday night stayed up 'till around 2 playing guild wars, got HELLA far. Somehow slept for nearly 14 hours and woke up at 4:15, realizing that i had to be at the shoreline soccer fields in 15 minutes for ultimate. Ran to the fields, played ultimate from 5-8, walked home, and i am currently blogging about it. Now to go on guild wars 'till around 2 again, and restart the process.

The FFF
Quest: The Frontier Fugitives
More accuratly named by Pronoob Mage: The Fucking Frontier Fugitives
Reward: 2000 exp (and some shitty items)
Difficulty: Fucking annoying
Here is my walkthrough for the most annoying quest I have undergone thus far. Ok, so the objectives was to find these two differnet guys in two differnet areas, and kill them. Apparently this one person has a grudge with these guys so im a hitman now. I go find the first guy, not much problem, except these really annoying mesmer things that kept casting backfire on me until i decided i couldnt do it alone and took some NPC henchmen with me. This took awhile, since i tried to do it solo twice, and if i had been anything other than an elementalist it would have been easy... but those fucking mesmers. Ok found the first guy and killed him, no big deal. Now to find the other guy. Not only was this an area i had not explored before, but it was a switchback, making it hard to navigate and an even longer travel. Ok so i finally get to him.. for the first time. I talk to him, and roughed him up a bit..
Me:The games up, time to die.
Him: Wait, I don't want to fight you [I am a pussy].
Me: If you run, I will kill you.
Him: Wait, I'll surrender.
Me: ..If you run, I will kill you. (the other option was like accept his surrender)
Him: Wait, I'll surrender.
Me: Fine, I will take you back to ___ and she will deal with you how she wishes.
So the quest updages, and being the fast paced, traveling hating person I am, i warp to The Frontier Gate.. BIG MISTAKE. Yeah, so now I'm at the frontier.. which is hella far from the guy.. and i have to go back and get him again. So I follow the path i took last time, and get him again. We run back, taking extremely long, and then once we get to the entrance i just run right in.. BIG MISTAKE. I was supposed to wait for the quest to update, and say go to ___ for your reward. Fuck. So for the THIRD time, i run back to this guy who is really starting to piss me off. but this story is not over yet. So i run back, and start leading him once again to the gate. oh and realize at this time, that i no longer am paying attention to the game that much because im so pissed off. i took my headphones off and was listening to some music. so i get back to the gate....turn around....and where the fuck is the guy. god damnit he stopped a ways back and trying to fight this damned devourer that was above a cliff that he couldn't reach, so basically he's standing there 3/4 of the way back. god damn this quest. finally i lead him back and we finish the quest. later david and i pwn up some quests in yak's bend. thats about it.
More accuratly named by Pronoob Mage: The Fucking Frontier Fugitives
Reward: 2000 exp (and some shitty items)
Difficulty: Fucking annoying
Here is my walkthrough for the most annoying quest I have undergone thus far. Ok, so the objectives was to find these two differnet guys in two differnet areas, and kill them. Apparently this one person has a grudge with these guys so im a hitman now. I go find the first guy, not much problem, except these really annoying mesmer things that kept casting backfire on me until i decided i couldnt do it alone and took some NPC henchmen with me. This took awhile, since i tried to do it solo twice, and if i had been anything other than an elementalist it would have been easy... but those fucking mesmers. Ok found the first guy and killed him, no big deal. Now to find the other guy. Not only was this an area i had not explored before, but it was a switchback, making it hard to navigate and an even longer travel. Ok so i finally get to him.. for the first time. I talk to him, and roughed him up a bit..

How much is too much??
40 dollars a person is too much. It was a combined dinner for two of my uncles and an aunt. we went to this steak/lobster tail place with a group of nine, and im not sure how much the total was, but it was well over $450. I'll admit that it was the best salmon, steak, and salad I have had, but honestly....40 bucks for a meal?! Service was also great, but i felt really out of place. everyone was all dressed nice, but since i didnt know we were going to a nice place when i packed for the weekend, i was wearing shorts and a long sleeve atheletic shirt. i could go on about this subject but i have to finish my chemistry homework...as it is the lunch before chemistry and david is asking to copy my answers.

Computer Upgrade
Finally getting that much needed memory upgrade for my computer. Ordered 1GB (512x2) from www.memorygiant.com. Site was a great help and easy to use, i recommend it for all of your memory needs. Anyway this should clear up some problems im experiencing while playing Guild Wars, Counter-Strike, and probably that pre-game lag i always have in Starcraft.

GW
Well...Guild Wars is a hella tight game....too bad my comp can barely handle it. Luckly the "explore" areas of the maps, a.k.a. anywhere outside of a town, are only shared with parties, thus you can not see other players in these areas. I believe this was an anti-spawn camp measure to make sure that everyone has the same opportunity for all quests and kills. Anyway this eliminates of the lag in these areas. However, when i wish to enter a town, i am stuck with the problem of not being able to move without waiting 30 seconds after every directional key i push. this leads me to my current problem... upgrade my pc's ram... or somehow amazing find an affordable computer that i will be allowed to buy. hopefully defragmenting will fix up this lag a bit so i wont have to decide, and chris said it got better the more he played, so maybe i will be able to manage. i also have found some techniques online for increasing computer performance, and i plan to try these out tomorrow after practice. wish me luck. BUY GW NOW!!

Oh well...
No one reads my blog anymore =(. and if there are you out there that do, you dont comment, which makes me think that you dont read it, making me less inclined to create new posts thus giving you something to do when you bored. this being said, if you are going to read a post, please comment on it. the comment doesnt have to be meaning full, just put in a small bit of information or something. otherwise the only reason for me to have a blog is so that i can change the song/sound and random times and have a little fun with that.

Bored
quick a stupid quote by my sub b4 i forget..
"These people had no savings, if they had any at all." she was completely serious.
Anyway i love my second period class, even if it is mostly conservative. we debate about anything possible instead of doing work. today we debated about the assembly and how they bashed bush too much. for any of you who know jerard(sp?) you know how he will go the extra mile to prove his point. and with our highly opinionated sub, this made for an intresting final 35 mins of class.

Friday/Saturday
Friday and Saturday were pretty good days. Friday started out like any other Friday, school, then paper route. But this time after the paper route Orion and I got locked out of my house because I didnt put the spare key back in its spot after using it on Superbowl Sunday. This Friday just so happened to be the day my mom was working at the Einstein dance, so she wouldnt be home to let us in until five or something. David was on his way since he was going to pick me up to spend the night at his house, but Orion and I needed some way to entertain ourselves. We found an old deflated kick ball/dodgeball in the back, so we kicked that around for awhile. Then David got there and we couldn't think of anything to pass the time. Until one of us had an idea...
Fuck this is going to be a long post.
We had a scooter, a truck, and a broom pole... what to do... It was decided that we should pull someone on the scooter while one person drove, and another held on to the pole from the back of the truck. I was stuck with the holding on to scooter with one hand, and the pole with the other. We started going down my street, everything was fine. We were going 10-15 and it was fun. It was when we hit 20, and David turned into the middle of the street, when the scooters front tire hit a manhole and flipped me over the handle bars. That hurt. I start walking it off going back up the street to my house, when my mom pulls up. At least we can get inside now. I didn't really want to admit to our stupidity, so I hid the scrape on my forehead, cuts on my hands, and small limp due to my hip getting road rash pretty bad. We went inside, I kind of tended to my wounds, and we played Warioware. Played that for awhile, then Orion decided he should go home for dinner. So he left and David and I played a short time longer then went to his house. For some reason David went on youtube while i was packing, and somehow came accross the PP lego video again. I remembered how cool it was, and thought that we should make a video using legos. So this is what we did when we got to his house.
Oh btw no frisbee for a few days so I can heal.
I would first like to say, David has the largest collection of legos we would ever need to make a movie. Honestly, I would doubt that anyone in our class has a larger amount of legos. This was very time consuming, yet fun, and we didn't manage to finish (this may be due to the oftly long "brainstorm break" we took to beat Gears of War). We will have to finish it later, and then upload it on to youtube for the public's viewing pleasure. It will pwn. We went to sleep sometime after 2.
David when are we going to finish our video of pwnage?
Saturday I woke up surprisingly early, this may be due to the smallish couch I slept on. We found out that Sai's party was cancelled so we had to change our plans a little. Around 12ish we went to TDM for a lunch of tacos. After that I was dropped off at my mom's to be picked up at by my dad after he dropped off my sister at a friends house to work on a project. My dad and I went around running errands for awhile while my sister did her partner project. I could write a lot about stuff but I'll summarize it to one store. Home Depot. We went to look at deck heaters, but my dad wanted to find out more information about one of the choices, so we tried to find someone to ask. There was one employee talking on his cellphone, and two others having an in-depth converstation about something not work related. We chose the two. One followed us over and said he needed someone else's help to figure out the info. So he left for awhile. He came back later with another guy, who started talking with the other employee about how they could find out the specs. One sugests to the other that they run a search on a computer, so they walk away talking about something. My dad and I are left standing there like....wtf. Are we supposed to follow you? Do you realize we are here? Home Depot customer service rating of the day--1/5.
Post almost completed! Your doing great!
Driving around for awhile made for time to listen to the radio. I heard some intresting stuff. Such as how a study was conducted and based on life style, number of fast food restaraunts per capita, and availibility of gyms, Seattle is the second most fit city in the nation. The least fit/most fat---Las Vegas. Most fit was some city in Colorado. I also heard about two Gonzaga basketball players that were arrested for possession of drugs at a standard traffic stop. This caught my attention because I learned that possession of pot is just a missdemeaner, while possession of psychedelic mushrooms is a felony. So remember kids, only take your pot with you while driving.
Go Huskies!
After errands, we picked up my sister, and headed to West Seattle. Now I'm sitting with nothing to do, trying to pass the time by writing extended blog posts. Although this did give me time to do useless web searches, and I found a cool online reaction time test. I searched for one because I wanted to see what my reaction time was for cs:s. Hopefully this can keep me amused until Monday. Somebody please save me!

cs:s
today i got counter-strike source finally. its basically the same as 1.6, as in i can pwn at both, but there are noticable changes. right off the bat i noticed that i couldnt set two keys to a certain action, such as jump. this proved to by a hindence cause i used to use space just to jump and mouse wheel down to make it easier to bunny hop. i also used mouse wheel up for duck when i wanted to do the little hop, but i think they fixed that glitch in source. anyway gameplay is great. guns come with ammo now so i'll have to get used to not pressing b 6 and 7, and having b 6 be equipment, but won't take too long. i like the save weapon set function in the buy menu, because i can set it to whatever i want which is cool. i read that you can control your crosshair size a lot more in source, so i adjusted it to 1000. one other guy said he played with his at 4000, but i find that hard to believe because i would assume that would be nearly invisible. grenades are a lot better in source, and i mean a LOT better. flashbangs actually bang, and so do the high explosives. smokes now produce brown smoke, and are more realistic. i found out that the mp5 is no longer the most effective smg, now its what i know as the p900 (thought its probably a newer version that i havnt heard of). i noticed you cant right click for silencer and then quickly change weapons to put the silencer in effect, you actually have to wait for it to go on. however weapon switching to reset recoil still works. i dont know why, but it seems easier to get headshots in source, but maybe its just me. and to finish off this rather long post that i had planned on being short, i will mention how either the guns look extremly toy like, or my graphics card is not supporting the game completely. soooooo yeah. im going to have to break cs:s in this week, however i will not be able to play this weekend due to the annoyance of having a shit computer at my dads. oh well i will just have to play twice as much during this week. happy pwning.
