Just wondering how crazy I am compared to others... I just finished writing an essay about some memorable crazy moments at school, see if you can top these: (paraphrased to protect identity)
[my school]: Memorable, Eccentric, and Just Downright Freaky Moments
And to end my book of vignettes, short stories, and other whatnots, I have decided to do something a little special: this is my last year here at [my school], and I am sending it off with a tribute to all the good memories this unusual place has given me.
My first memory: 6th grade, [pun about school's name] and the beginning of the Lag Master. Long ago, back before the laptops were set up, me and my friends always used to laugh at how the school was [supposedly high tech], and yet so far the only “high tech” thing there was the motion sensor drinking fountains. This was more than ironic in an unusually idiotic way. One fateful day, my dad gave me a 1998 IMB ThinkPad. I brought it to school, and this showed up those stuck up drinking fountains quite a bit. Nowadays we often compare it to a brick, and lovingly call it “The Lag Master”
Memory 2: Bamboo sticks and Fire Emblem wannabes. Back when I was in [my 6th grade humanities teacher's] class, we often used bamboo sticks in numerous arts and crafts projects. Me, however, used them as makeshift swords, and often practiced my imitation of Lady Lyndis Caelin of Fire Emblem. Yes, I was crazy back then. One fateful day, it caught on with the rest of the class, and we had a huge all out war. It was utter havoc, bamboo sticks flying left and right, absolutely no way to figure out what was going on. It was heaven, only during school. [teacher], thank you for unwillingly starting such a fun and uncontrolled event.
Memory the Third: Shoes as throwing knives? Why not? I am unsure when I was crazier, 6th grade or 7th. One thing that I remember from the latter was using shoes as a projectile against oncoming foes. And [one of my friends, Butter]. Don’t ask. Long Story.
Fourth memory: Fantasy Baseball. It will eat you. The Fantasy Baseball project is exactly what the stereotype of a school project defines: boring, tedious, long, and you learn nothing. It was a semester-long review of third-grade math. Except with Barry Bonds.
Memory #5: The last day of School. See vignette: “The last day of school: Eccentric concoctions, yearbook signing, and Matrix wannabes” (oh yeah you can't lol. trust me, you DONT want to know)
And Memory the Last: The Failed Project: Eternity’s End. Over the summer vacation, me and my friends decided to continue on an idea I had from the beginning of the year: Create an RPG based on the fictitious adventures of our online selves and clans: Clan Darkterror; lead by the Tauren/Elf/Human (we’re not quite sure which) Lord Illidan Flameseeker (me) and Stephen the booze addicted assassin; and Team Mental Chaos, consisting of [kikyo] and [Butter]. Unsure of online names and species. Well, after a week or so, Mental Chaos bailed, and it was just good ol’ Darkterror doing what they do best: nothing. The project was entirely abandoned after a month of “What the (censored) are we doing” moments. Oh well, that’s life. I am currently working on it anew, just me and [Another good friend, AznMagePower].
And thusly ends my book of vignettes. Sir [Illidan Flameseeker], Signing off.

Oh...I have far too many. But seeing as I'm studying for a music history exam right now...I'll mention one about my first music history exam in my Freshman year.

We were studying American music history...and my friend and I were locked in our little practice room for hours everyday studying our listening examples. (Silly us...we didn't know we could use our title list during the exam!) Anyways, we had this strange problem of us always landing randomly on a piece called "I am the Rose of Sharon." (And she's the lilly of the valley, don'chaknow) Anyways, we decided to take a break...and had a little fun. With a dry erase marker we took from the band room we proceded to create an "I am the Rose of Sharon" mural on our practice room wall (on many pieces of paper) and breathed a lot of dry erase marker fumes.

Let's just say...my friend and I still make MANY jokes about the "rose of Sharon!" ;)

how technological was your school LordIllidan? those are pretty advanced things to have at a school. i wouldn't know though because i've been going to private (Catholic) school my whole life! wish my old school had that kinda stuff, but it's very small (as in it was very small and didn't even take up a block!) anyway, here are some of my greatest memories at my elementary/middle schol (grades K-8). also remember that these were in the past, which means i'm not a kid anymore. however, that's all i can reveal.

- our school was so upset with the alarms going off from watches that they actually banned them from school! luckily, this was too much of an extreme measure and only lasted 2.5 weeks

- if your socks were too low, you were benched. if worn very often too short, you'd be given detention.

- when i was in 8th grade, one of the 5th grade teachers passed away (the saddest thing to happen at my school)

- my 6th grade teacher had to go to the hospital for an entire semester (2.5 months) for surgery because of his diabetes.

- the junior high history teacher is paralyzed, so he's in a wheelchair. one of my classmates got so mad at him for giving her an F on her project, so she actually popped one of his wheelchair tires! that was the meanest thing i ever witnessed. she was expelled the next day.

-when i was in 6th grade, i got 1st in the 100m dash (overall) in the CYO (track and field organization thing) and 2nd in the 4/100 relay (overall)

-in 8th grade, was the very 1st person in school to get MVP in track (they never awarded MVP in track to anyone before, so it felt kinda special:))

Well, we have a LOT of computers (and like 10 laptops in each classroom :)) but none of them are terribly advanced.

ANOTHER INTERESTING MOMENT: I got into a 2 year long fight with a girl over video game characters and which was better (sonic and shadow the hedgehogs)

Well... We aren't allowed to were shorts.

We cannot have "crazy" hairdos

We cannot have long hair

We have to have our shirt tucked in

Basically... We are just all clones.

My probably best, yet most stupid moment this year alone was in social studies a month or two ago. See, if my teacher catches anyone passing notes, she takes the note, reads it, then puts it up on the chalkboard. My classmate Brian passed a note to me that read "hey [my name], let's pass this note and get caught so it gets on the chalkboard!". I was silently laughing, and imagining my class and teacher when we would get caught. The consequence barely passed my mind, but I went on anyway. So we were throwing the note back and forth, and my teacher got it...

...and we both got lunch detentions for "disrupting the class". However, the entire class was laughing at our idea. We stayed after to talk to her, and she let us off by writing her a letter on how we will improve our conduct :P

But it was definitely what I would call an interesting period XD

I was late every day to homegroups. (homegroups is like homeroom, I guess. It's just this thing you go to in the morning to watch the announcements and talk about Bible stuff)

The rule at my school is that if you're late twice for the same class in one semester, you get a lunch detention, which is on Thursdays.

I had lunch detention EVERY Thursday for the entire year. I was so consistent at getting these detentions that the school even gave me a lunch detention the ONE time I wasn't supposed to have one; I guess they stopped actually checking for me and just gave me the detention! Pssh.

At the end of the year, I had so many detentions that I couldn't serve (I was late every day, so five days is 2 detention. You can only serve one detention a week) that the school made me stay after school on the last day before finals, which is pretty much entirely devoted to yearbook signings, and clean class rooms..

Yeah what do you mean you can't have you hair long?!?!!

I don't think that should be a rule or something, that's not right. >_<

At my Old school you could've gotten away with anything!

1: I always train to fight with my friends ( yup I was weird) We had a tornament and I got whooped! Funny how all the teachers never noticed.

2: Once at Music class, and I just busted out break dancining.

3: I sold my friend to a girl for 50 cents! he was mad at me after that but just for a bit.

4: The best part of it was that I got to bring my sling shot my uncle made for me! Note: Never shoot a crow! Ouch!

5: I fell asleep during math, like always!



Oh and at the school I am at now My teacher made us do The MJ Thriller Dance! XD it was hard!

well, this isn't THAT wierd but..
my friend and me, we LOVE bothering all our friends by singing "A dream is a wish your heart makes"
and trust me we sing very VERY loud, besides the fact that we stink

so yeah whenever we would get the chance, we would sing it in class (when we would have a free period or something) and yeah for some reason not 1teacher ever noticed our singing. Only our friends and i guess some other people in the class who just looked at us as though we were crazy.

that is, until this one time we had to make a video at our school in groups for a teacher in the hospital, and our friends had me and my friend sing as the leading people... not only that but while the teacher filmed it, almost half the grade came to watch us dance and sing.....
