As u might've guessed, this section is all about me. *sigh* 19 years of me.
Well, it all started on 1 April 1982. Being born on this day is not exactly a funny thing... So I happily romped around Taipei, Taiwan fer 2 years. Mostly played in playgrounds and the like. Then me and my mom joined my dad, who already was in Mississippi studying at that time. I dun remember MS at all but i remember sum stupid kid hit me w/a see-saw...ouch.
Both my parents came outta Taiwan from pretty good jobs to start all over fer me and my sis here. It was a very difficult decision which i appreciate everyday. We're a happy family=).
Jus b4 i turned 5, we moved to Flushing in NYC... i spent kindergarten there and then we moved 4 blocks south to Oak Ave. where we lived in a stupid basement fer 7 years. My gosh I'll have stories fer my grandchildren about that place...
Oh geez, that basement was the pits, we had to put up with meat locker temps in the winter, sewege overflows (which is not very pleasant when ur in a basement with the pipes everywhere...), floods from too much rain, shitty heating sys. and a stupid landlord and our oh so mature tenents... But while there was great uh- living harshness,
the rent was damn good and we didn't have to pay fer the utilities. (good since we're classified as industrial consumers almost=) ) So i grew up there, nice big backyard... garage, Kissena park, nice neighbors who have dogs... *woof*
I was sooo carefree, didn't have a worry in the world. (see bak then, my grades were way up and my ummm- "self control" wasn't uhhh- advanced; kinda the opposite now=T ) This was when i made my best friends WINs, CHK and JNG. Wish i had a time machine cuz i wanna go bak... those were the good years... 5th to 7th grade... lil of 8th.
I mean like CHK said, we didn't start messing around w/comps til 5th and in spring of 7th grade i moved to Bayside where i live now. All those times of "I'm going over, now, bye..." and "Killer Miller!", "But Billy has an Axe...", "WINs, lemme over fer sum MK.",
"pabluuuu!", "LCM LCM LCM!!!", "I dident do it."... LOL! oh geez, the good years...
I remember hanging out in that house at the T-junction where a car plowed thru (awesome!) and the new house they built there later...hahaha, remember using thier half built bathroom CHK? HAHAHA... The water fights were always welcome, 'cept cows dun like "buckets"... Just talking to ppl about those times jus makes me reminisce a heckava lot... which reminds me of jus how nice and angelic i've become now. It's so wierd. I kno now if i were to go back to kindergarten and start all over, i'd be more of an angel =) Y oh y do they make angels sit on milk crates during lunch under guard by two monitors away from the rest of class? haha... must've been the mustard.
Well, sadly, I moved to Bayside rite b4 7th grade was over. I get to live in the basement, again. This time tho my room is the whole floor, nice and cool, no flashfloods, my own washer and sink. Even tho it looks like the insides of a Borg ship, i luv it. Takes like 5 seconds to walk across the room... This is also when i developed that love for model building too.. As for JHS, 237 was pretty wacky. One way halls... pssshh... MS74... Nathaniel Hawthorne... very um- different from 237... missed my friends... it was a more surburban schl... too quiet. After extracting wut was left of my 7th grade at 74... thank u Emily and Albert... it was the summer and 8th grade, heya Crapper!. Yay. 8th grade, found out about sumthin called the Stuy test...didn't apply NEwhere else but jus took the test. Think it was Dec. 2nd 3rd dun remember.Missed by 3 pts. wut a POS... i took it all out on this locker in gym and the pegboard... went up and down 3 times... I thought all the questions were worth the same, does 551 sound divisible by 8 to u?! crap, and summer discovery prog. was out of question since i dun cheat on my IRS forms early like sum stupid pablu does...
After that test, 1 of us made it to Stuy comfortably, 1 stayed at Hunter (y that lil scumbag took the test fer fun...) and 1 sad lil bovine didn't even make tech. Things would've been diff if he made it to BxSci. And now here I am; 2nd choice, squirrel land . Freshman year went zip...hey hey hey Kelvin!... bio was alrite, sum poor lil raccoon jus loves water huh?... KTURQT haha... Unfortunately, I awoke to the fact that this was HS and the 90s... too late. *sigh* Sophomore year was the best, breeze. That's when i started fencing and handball too... very fun year. No SATs and yer not the youngest. Boom! Junior year... ayia... SAT this SAT that, geez. This is when I found sum Bird I didn't quite kno in freshman year. A Herky bird sorta...also bought along the Sherrell, K and KT crowd... uh oh. Also started doin stuff with ICQ... hey Jackie!
Yay, college. Damn i can't wait to go to college=). *The proceeding statement was as of August 2000.*
So finally, got my SATs outta the way... those annoying apps r gone too and the FAFSA is sent so i can get my diddly squat money for college... So now's jus the wait... it's all part of the fun i guess.
OK, this paragraph is sorta inserted in while i was fixing this damn page up after the idiots in geocities decided to make the html links in my codes case-sensitive: anyways, the college process made a human outta me, i saw how the world actually worked... wut a great sys. this place is... o wells, even tho i made it in half the schls i applied to, i wound up going to USB or Stony... sad. Stony has a shitty internet connection but a killer nice comp. sci. major program... currently, i'm taking "foundations to computer science" or CSE113... i think it's very difficult in efforts to weed out the less serious students... i think 1050 ppl are enrolled in CSE113, a USB record... geez.
NEways, I guess now u've known me fer 19 yrs... in my opinion life has been pretty good. A roller coaster ride with mean spirals, sharp turns, high speed dives and slow ascents. *sigh* jus look around and explore... chk out NEthing recent in the NEW section and anything that's wierd in the LINE OF FIRE section. (dun ask me how i chose my names...) Thanx fer reading a dismal mass of txt and luv ya all=)
