For some reason, lately, I've been reading many books that are way over my head, in terms of intelligence level. I'm happy to say that I'm one of the smarter people I know, but these still just take me out sometimes. My current...

imagenius128 Yeah, I've read some of those types of novels as well. I know that I was stumped a few times in Angels and Demons with the science, but it wasn't all that bad. The movie really downplayed the science, though, which made me sad.

imagenius128 I have to say the best point he made in the book was the fact that technology has been increasing exponentially over the past millenia or two, and that we are about to run simply run out of intellectual space for any more, or it will begin happening at a rate...

It was recently announced that my high school marching band will be doing a Pink Floyd show for our next season. I'm not sure whether to be excited or worried. We will most likely be doing a slightly modified version of the show...

A new version of "We Are the World"... now dedicated for Haitians... Do you like the new version sung by various singers? or, Do you still like Michael Jackson's original one?

imagenius128 I still adore the original and love it with all my heart, but this one has an interesting flair to it. I must say I absolutely despise the rap part, but the effects like the electronic voices and give the piece a new lease on its relevance and opens up the...

I realized today that even some mildly intelligent people can be complete idiots. So my AP US History teacher is also the basketball coach, and in the middle of class, his smartest player (which I wouldn't dispute) texts him and...

imagenius128 I am actually kind of the same way. Most of the time I am quiet, but when I do speak I try to make it actually mean something, so therefore people think I am one of the smartest kids in my class, when really I'm only in the top 5-10% (out of 700, mind you). I...

imagenius128 Ohhhhhhh, I know tons of these people. I really hate it when they are your superior, though, because then you aren't allowed to talk back to them. I am almost always an extremely congenial person (at least I like to think I am) and try to not hurt anyone's...

Earlier today, I read a story about a 12 year old girl who was arrested for sprawling a smiley face and writing "I love so and so (two of her friends I cant remember their names)" on her desk at school. She was subsequently...

imagenius128 Well technically, yes, but I don't think she drew it in the desk for everyone to see that she did it. She did it out of sheer boredom. I was referring to graffiti as in painting walls with spray paint as to make them obvious that the structure had been defaced...

imagenius128 Vandalism and drawing on a desk are two totally different things. Vandalism is graffiti or breaking things, but drawing on a desk is something every student does during a mindless, boring lecture. I would say she was probably deserving of punishment of some...

So, if you could choose a country to be born in, which county would you choose, and why? Would it be because of the life quality, or because of the culture and history of that country?

imagenius128 I'd say Australia, because I love the beach and I would love living somewhere that stayed pretty warm for the most part. We've had 23 inches of snow in a week where I am now, and it hasn't been fun. (Not much school, though, which is nice)

Has anyone else heard of this? I used to not be able to figure it out, but now I finally did, and it is quite ingenious. If you don't know what it is, look at my blog or look it up.

imagenius128 Yes, I've done the same thing many times. Mostly it is when I have already do have plans, but the first people are arrogant and think that they outrank all the other groups I belong to. So usually I say something like a medical appointment, a family emergency,...

Hi my lotters, I encourage everyone to write their comments. Question, what do you consider a handicap?

3 responses •

1 person

imagenius128 I think of a handicap as anything that impairs ones ability to do the thing that makes them happy, serious or minute. For instance, I love writing music, but I can't play piano, so I consider that a handicap, since it would be really nice to be able to play...

imagenius128 I think my record for most in a row is 11 (too bad it wasn't in one game, though, 6 the first game, then 5 the second). I can usually get 4-6 in a game, though. I've been in a league since I was 9ish (17 now), so I've had a bit of practice.

imagenius128 I agree completely. I'm in the process of trying to write a screenplay, and whenever I go back to read what I have so far, I get cool new ideas and try to edit it, and that screws of the next part and it becomes a never-ending cycle of re-writing that is...
