"Things You Didn't Know"
I read 5 o’clock as 7 o’clock and vice versa. (Similarly with 4 and 8)
Nine is always Dark Blue. Ten is always white. Four is ochre or green, depending on my mood. Two is red.
I like running. It gives me purpose.
xkcd isn’t always funny nowadays.
I don’t particularly like kids. I don’t like adults. I like some people.
I think Luna Lovegood kicks arse.
I write “yeah” and “yeh.”, “ ass” as “arse” and “shit” as “shite”, except ‘shithole’.
Colton can sing. And he goes off pitch a lot. lol.
I've heard more about Enoch that I've talked to him.
Once I lose respect for you, I couldn’t care if you died of acid burns.
Subway is a saviour after a bad day.
Tuesdays suck.
Ahana hates being hit upon by guys. (Yes. This is a request.)
I hate having bare feet. Unless I’m walking/running.
You probably can't pronounce Michelle's name.
Corey is always online but he's "not always there".
Ashwath doesn't like tomatoes and mohawks. And he is intimidated by me. Or so I've heard.
Colton should totally get a mohawk.
I stutter sometimes because I think faster than I talk.
Fiona worships Matt McGann from what I hear.
I’m scared of not existing.
Ben was my favourite blogger. Matt is the nicest and I've always wanted to hug him for his niceness. Snively's style of blogging is addictive. David B is funny and...funny. Paul is nice. Shannon should blog more. Ditto with Chris Mills.
Yan is my current favourite blogger.
I am terribly jealous of Chris Su because of his IAP excursions.
I want to learn Hebrew. Among four other languages.
I'm not a very hug-y person. Part of it is because I'm 5 feet, 9 inches tall and everyone else isn't. My back hurts after a while.
It doesn't help when 85% of the guys you know are as tall as or shorter than you.
My best friend has a crush...thing on Chris Mills. She's never spoken to/met him. And she'll kill me when/if she reads this.
The No. 2 song currently on my Most Played List is Apex. It's Colton's creation. It's awesome.
People have thought this "little hack" is "lame". This included a guy I know from here, who's applying as well.
Ahana likes purple. (Wait. Did you know that?)
Colton can do very scary modulations with his voice :S
It doesn't take much effort to freak me out.
I wanted to go to MIT for a lot of reasons. Right now, one of the biggest is the People. Oh, the people. The ones I've met and the ones I finally will, after having texted/IMed them at odd hours.
I've always wondered if anyone ever steals the Brass Rats. Aren't they solid gold?
I used to HATE math until December 2007.
My AP Physics teacher is a testimonial to the fact that teachers can be cool.
I miss playing on my piano. Maybe I will, right now!
I love puzzles on a Moebius Strip.
I like strawberry ice-cream.
Colton is 56% Bot. That's majority.
I don't like ketchup very much.
During conversations, Ahana and I tend to use embarrassing amounts of "LOL"s.
I remember the tiniest details.
Ashwath has both ears pierced.
I am evil-er than Colton. And he refuses to accept it.
All the hack Bloggers love Potter. The topic on the Unofficial Chat has been Harry Potter more than a few times.
Fred Weasley shouldn't have died. Rowling pushed the ending a bit much.
I don't like Hah-vahd. I don't know why, but I don't like the sound of it. It's too...Hah-vahd.
Sleep messes up my schedule.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sky. Looking up while walking is the reason behind 80% of my injuries, which aren't few.
Fruit can be surprisingly awesome.
I currently deeply dislike every guy I have ever had a crush on. (Not the fictional ones, DUH.)
I still watch Tom and Jerry. And I still love it.
I have an EVE Final in fourteen hours.

Lol. Lol. Lol. Embarrassing enough? Lol.
I'm sure there'll be people ready to kill you for this,Tree. Also, you might want to add that while I don't like being hit on by strangers, they'd rather be guys.

XKCD is always funny to me if you understand the punchline. Once, I had to look it up. Then I still chuckled a little.
I suppose it's branched out into more varies topics over the last year, but if you are a very science & technology-oriented person, you probably understand MOST of the comics.
Posted by: Narce on March 04, 2009 04:03 PM
Haha, I wonder if you and Ahana can take me and June '13 on LOL's.
I LOVE BARE FEET. Except on grass / mud.
XKCD used to be a lot better than it is. Right now it's running out of ideas and defaulting to dirty jokes. But the old classics are still unbeatable :D
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE SKY TOO. Ever considered an atmospheric science major?! (Couse 12 - PAOC!)

Lol. Yeah... Whenever my computer is booted up google talk logs me in. I'm usually too busy to bother to mark myself busy or shut off google talk. So it always says I'm online... oh well. consider it my answering machine. "Leave a message and I'll get back to you later"
Posted by: Corey on March 04, 2009 06:03 PM
Yay! I got mentioned.
But I do not 'ship Matt McGann, oh hay, this is gonna sound like a denial of a fanatic.
*acts blase*
Posted by: Fiona on March 04, 2009 06:03 PM
I am SO not intimidated by you. I just think you go berserk at times. The frequency of such times has rather increased in the last week.
Let's just say that I like people in their ground state. And on that note, I should totally go and study semiconductors. (Yes, I know. The same semiconductors!)
Posted by: Ashwath on March 04, 2009 09:03 PM
You forgot to mention that Colton is the master of innuendo and Ahana stays up late at night without making a sound.
Posted by: Ashwath on March 04, 2009 09:03 PM
lol ....also love tom and jerry
and also timon and pumba :)

@Ahana
I know :)
@Narce
I get all of them. They're not always funny.
@Reena
Ahana and I can take on ANYONE in "LOL"s. I'm telling you. *shakes her head in disbelief*
Oh and I'm looking at Aero/Astro. Their department is...legendary.
@Ashwath
You are SO intimidated by me.
Posted by: Tree on March 05, 2009 01:03 PM
I'm not intimidated one bit by you, Tree. Or should I saw, female yew? Your species is just .. peculiar.
Posted by: Ashwath on March 05, 2009 01:03 PM
Hahaha, we should have a big LOL-off sometime.
Ahhh yeah Aero/Astro is awesome. It would probably be my third choice after EAPS and Physics... tied with materials science. But I'd always worry that one of my stupid math mistakes would cause a plane to crash, so I've decided to spare the world the trouble and not try it out xD

Here's another thing you didn't know: Several people have become addicted to a composition of mine called Apex.
Posted by: Colton on March 05, 2009 09:03 PM
OMG. i thought i was the ONLY one who associated colors with numbers!!!!!! sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! except mine are different from yours
Posted by: Anon on March 05, 2009 11:03 PM
Awesome blog Maitrayee
XD
Yan is the "izm" lol. yea, shes a pretty nicee blogger.
I love your use of middle-english terms. I thought I was the only1 who stole words from that era. lol
And correct you if I may, Luna Lovegood does not kick arse the way she should kickarse cuz Rowling is too busy making the other students pick on her.
I think Snape kicks mega-arse!! although he lost awesomn[ness] points for killing Dumbledore, but gained some back for achieving the almost-unthinkable i.e. killing Dumbledore.
Colton is quite the composer. I really like his creations..mega kudos to you sir...
with such knowledge of computer manipulation, i could rule the world!!!
I still wish I had joined the group when it was getting started..smh.. you all seem way kool and fun.
Sucks that I've missed every single Unofficial Chat for like the unkown[th] time. :-/
For some reason, I'm always doing something on Saturdays, and at the same time the chat sessions are!
Either I'm out to see a play--this Saturday I'm seeing "In The Heights"!!-- or at a Saturday session of AP tutoring class, or some educational-but fun opportunity, I can never make it for the chat.... >.<
But hey, if you guys don't mind adding me to your Gmail chat, that wud be kool.

Keep on Blogging!!!!
