[QUOTE=jpj]Yes? Yes.


There's this kid in my gym class that makes me think of you. He looks [I]exactly[/I] like Syd Barrett. The resemblance is seriously creepy. He never changes, and always looks completely out of it. He just sits in the corner and stares off into the distance like he's lost one too many brain cells.[/QUOTE]
I know a guy that looks exactly like Jimmy Page. And he doesn't shoot heroin or anything. That I know of... he's in like 7th grade I think. He's pretty cool from what I know about him.

American Idol was on because I didn't feel like changing the channel after King Of THe HIll, and they just did Take It Easy as a group. It was pretty good.

[QUOTE]I have an easy schedule because I don't apply myself today is the first day I've had homework since Christmas time, I don't plan on doing it either, its due tomorrow.[/QUOTE]

Wahey, run on sentence, ftw.

Wow, some of you have really big schedules. I thought 6 classes was much. :-/

So Sly & The Family Stone is awesome. Larry Graham's lines are so simple, yet so awesome.

[QUOTE=i am miik]Gay. I hate when people complain about like having a 4.1, because they want to get a 4.3 or something. It's like, a 4.1 and decent extracurriculars can get you in to any university you want. I love how most of the smart kids are in band though and it brings down there GPA just because they have to play there stupid trumpet.[/QUOTE]
Hey, man, never call the trumpet stupid. :p

Schedules are cool:

AP American History
Honors Algebra II
Pop Music Studies
Honors English 10
Band (there is an honors band, but it requires too much dedication)
Honors Biology
German II

The DMV, it is incredibly awesome that your school offers Italian as a foreign language.

Wahey? I see a new MX trend ;)

I have 7 classes.

On Monday/Wednesday/Friday:
Homeroom 7:55-8:05
Spanish II Honors 8:08-8:58
Biology 9 Honors 9:01-9:51
Break 9:51-10:16
Study Hall 10:19-11:09
World Cultures 9 Honors 11:12-12:02
English 9 Honors 12:05-12:55
Lunch 12:55-1:20
Algebra II Honors 1:23-2:13
Art 9 2:16-3:06

Somehow school ends at 3:10 though. Just a few minutes give or take somewhere. Flip all my classes around for Tuesday and Thursday. My favorite classes are Art and Spanish II (and Study Hall :smash: ), hardest classes are English, Algebra, and World Cultures just because I hate having to work, easiest class is definitely Biology. My teacher is really cool.

136. :-/ Was anyone in here a GATE kid? I was.

My GPA for all my semesters of highschool averaged is 4.38. Unweighted it's a 3.94. You can get a 5.0 here because of AP classes, and Honors classes add an extra .5.

I was for 2 years, but I quit because I knew the class was complete bulls[COLOR="White"]h[/COLOR]it. Plus, our teacher was an old, confused hippie.

What is that? Like a grammar class?

edit: So the other day I said that if I hear "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt again i'd kill myself. Today, I found out he actually has a halfway decent song called "Wisemen"

RockAndRoll 02-23-2006 09:02 PM

Stupid GPA's and whatnot. we don't have those here.

My schedule is

gr 11 Ancient civilisations (in french)
gr 11 World religions
gr 11 English
gr 12 Calculus

I don't know what my IQ is but I'm gifted if that counts for anything other stupid meetings a few times a year. I do pwn at life though, everybody hates me for doing no work and still coming out on top :p.

Edit: and what is a "GATE" kid? :confused:

Gifted and Talented Education. It's a program in the US to make smart kids smarter. It doesn't, really, just is pretty useless.

:lol:

That's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.

Here you can take:

Spanish
French
German
Russian
Latin
Italian
Japanese

robo2448 02-23-2006 09:27 PM

Yeah I've never heard of GATE either. We have a pretty crappy language department:

Latin
Spanish
French

I take Latin and my teacher is incredibly cool. It's so easy. We don't do any work. It's a fun class.

np: Canned Heat- Rollin' and Tumblin' (Live)

Canned Heat are awesome.

JonG 02-23-2006 09:28 PM

Indeed, they are. I've been listening to them for awhile on vinyl and such.

My dad had lots of their vinyls, then at a concert he played pool with them.

Whooped their as[FONT="Verdana"]s[/FONT] too.

Ya, we have programs like that. I hate them, despite pretending like they'll do something they never actually do. They fail at doing anything useful.

Playing pool with Canned Heat would own. Canned Heat were an awesome live band. They owned at Woodstock and this compilation has 3 songs from Monterey that are awesome too. It's really cool that all the members were record collectors and worked in a record shop before they started the band. They've got a good appreciation of blues. I like how in the liner notes the drummer says all they did back then was jam with John Lee Hooker, listen to records, and smoke pot. That's the life right there.

np: Canned Heat- Dust My Broom (Live)

Glitterati 02-23-2006 09:42 PM

[QUOTE=robo2448]I just bought [I]The Very Best of Canned Heat[/I] and Red Hot Chili Peppers- [I]Mother's Milk[/I]. The Canned Heat is awesome. These guys own. Haven't listened to the RHCP yet.

I saw Medeski, Martin, and Wood last night in Danbury, CT. It was pretty sweet. It was in a tiny venue, kind of like a small bar, but there was no age restrictions. I was about 5 feet from the stage. They're nuts. Medeski is up there with Emerson or Winwood in terms of organ playing. And Martin is a pretty interesting drummer to watch, he uses so many wierd percussion stuff that I won't even try to describe. And Wood plays an upright bass:cool: and keeps it all together.

np: Canned Heat- Rockin' With the King

I have around a 90 average.[/QUOTE]

I haven't heard Mother's Milk, but I know it has Higher Ground which is an amazing song.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]everyone thinks that im smart because im asian.

how wrong they are.[/QUOTE]

A lot of people think I'm school-smart because I wear glasses and have an encyclopedic knowledge of music and cinema. Little do they know when it comes to stuff like math, I r teh suk.\

I take
Spare Block
Communications
Study Block
Guitar
Graphics (photography n' stuff)
Science & Tech
Drawing & Painting
Carpentry (I'm building a house! Go me!)

Watched Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 in the last two days, really liked them. I think I liked volume 1 better...

np: Sigur Ros - Untitled 1

Led-ZeppelinIV 02-23-2006 11:14 PM

My brother was in gate, then we moved and I was in the same type of program, something called Revolving Door. Easiest dam[size=2]n[/size] thing I ever did.

thickasabrick 02-23-2006 11:54 PM

I could probably get into one of those genius schools...do they require much effort? On the Simpsons it didn't look hard when Bart was in one.

I'm superman.

Wow I would've never pictured you being asian..

I tried using an HMV gift card that I found at work a week ago, today. I asked the guy how much money it had on it...63 cents. I laughed and asked him to throw it out.

But of course I couldn't leave without buying something:

Pink Floyd- The Wall (now i've got it on vinyl and cd)
Zep- 1
Neil Young- On the Beach

Good finds my good man.[I] The Wall [/I]is pretty damn cool, [I]Led Zeppelin I[/I] is my favorite after 2, then 3, and [I]On the Beach [/I]is a perfect album IMO, and my favorite Neil album.

NP: Gram Parsons - Return of the Grievous Angel
