newton's third law part 1

my parents

i just realized i've never told you people about my parents.
basically, my parents trust me to make my own decisions, like the entire loaf of raisin toast i ate half an hour ago.
my mom is gonna teach a introductory class on speaking chinese at a nearby community college during the summer. she got highlights put into her hair today. her hair's dark dark brown like mine but mine has natural highlights.
my dad taught me how to write numbers in binary code on friday and it's easier than i thought it would be.
uuuuuh, that's basically it.
oh, btw, i'm chinese but anla isn't my chinese name. it has nothing to do with my chineseness.

field day

status;still on caps strike
today was field day1 i'll never have another field day in my life unless i become an elementary school teacher and i wanna be a preschool teacher. field day got cancelled an hour early cuz it was really hot out and according to some people, people were passing out cuz of the heat. last year, it was too muddy and wet outside and field day also got cancelled. when our class was at the soccer station, i slipped on purpose and got muddy which was so fun. of course, i still had to pretend it was an accident. haha

the meaning of life

i am going to find the meaning of life.

i'll will not type in capital case letters.

i got my inspiration from my friend cathryn.

our im is pasted below:

Cathryn (5:29 PM): 1 0r 2 choose wisely
Anla (5:29 PM): 12
Cathryn (5:30 PM): aaaahhhh
Cathryn (5:30 PM): the wise one
Anla (5:30 PM): hehe
Anla (5:30 PM): r u going to B a philosopher and find the meaning of life?
Cathryn (5:31 PM):
Cathryn (5:31 PM): i guess so
Anla (5:31 PM): same here
Cathryn (5:31 PM): ...
Cathryn (5:31 PM): the meaning of life is 42
Anla (5:31 PM): for me, so far it's: have fun and try not to die young
Cathryn (5:31 PM): of course
Cathryn (5:31 PM): yeah i know
Cathryn (5:32 PM): they always say the answer to life is 42
Cathryn (5:32 PM): for some weird reason
Anla (5:32 PM): oh
Cathryn(5:32 PM): i don't reall get it
Anla (5:32 PM): 42s one of my lucky #'s
Anla (5:32 PM): does that mean i'm gonna be a philosopher?

oh, i got my pattern on mochimochi land.

Pink Zebras

I have just started Pink Zebras with one of my best friends, Rachel. Pink Zebras are just random internet finds that either me or Rachel find.

Newton's Third Law

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." ---Isaac Newton

Happy Lance Armstrong Day!

I think I set a trend today. Everyone had to wear yellow to school today and I brought a box of foam stickers to give to my friends who didn't wear yellow. Then, other people started asking for yellow foam stickers and I ran out by 2nd block.

There are two reasons why I wrote Mr.N's 3rd law up there. 1)There's a science test on Friday 2) I got a bad tummy ache after I ran out of stickers.

I think a possibility of having strap throat is the unequal and opposite reaction. Wow, I'm learning inequalities in math. See Domino, math and science are strongly related.

So little time

Sorry I haven't posted a bunch of things. I was really busy with school (TAKS tests, World Cultures Summit, projects...). Here's a summary of what I was doing:

4/25/08:I WENT TO THE AVRIL LAVIGNE CONCERT!!!! It was so much fun.

4/29/08:Math TAKS. It was really, really easy.

4/30/08:Reading TAKS. The last TAKS of the year. 6th grade only got 2 this year. (My brother had to take 3.)

5/1/08:I got my Ravelry invite which I applied to about a month ago!!

I got the new DDD book and read it in about a day.

5/7/08:The World Summit trip was so much fun!!! I had no idea Phoenix and Cameron were into belly dancers.

5/8/08:The Coulson Tough 3rd Annual World's Fair. The group I was in got assigned Colombia. I didn't know Colombia had a lot of drug dealers. I knitted a Blue Morpho Butterfly toy using an i-cord and the wing pattern for Butterfull as part of the project display. Pic ASAP.

5/9/08:My parents anniversary. As usual, I forgot and felt bad about it. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner and stopped by Barnes and Nobles. Someone who worked there yelled at me and my brother for walking up the escalator that was going down.

Today is Mothers' Day and like my parents anniversary, I forgot. I tried making my mom breakfast but it ended up looking like someone ate cherries, chocolate, and a cup of yogurt and puked it up. Then someone elso thought it was instant pudding mix, so he put in a bowl and whisked up. I'm still working on something for dinner.

My friend Rachel sent me a story her 6 year-old little brother wrote.

I em alex and I like cilc whale be ckus dae has teses and I like dim be ckus das are cool *scratches* and I like dim be ckus d*scratches*ae hav lofin fin and dae can smel *scratches* gud *tiny scratches* and dae are a mamele and I like dim be ckus dae hav gray te*scratches*aes and dae hav a blohoe and dae hav a tun.

That translates to:

I am Alex, and I like killer whales because they have teeth and I like them because they are cool and I like them because they have long fins and they can smell good, and they are mammals and I like them because they have gray teeth and they have a blowhole and they have a tongue.

Isn't that cute?

Oh yeah, I'll post the pattern for the scarf now (on a new post).
