Well, I guess here goes my "personal Ad"


I'm a 17 year female searching for the right nerd to win my heart over. I've been on my high schools FIRST Robotics team since my freshman year and I now am a senior. I'm 5' tall, brown hair with highlights, and teddy bear brown eyes. If you want to see a picture please IM me at luvbug1082 (that is if you have aim or aol). Only serious guys please!!

What kind of match would you like? Ohio Blue Tip? Casino / Nightclub / Resturaunt book?

How about just a lighter?

I love Tori Amos.

Silly Jimmy...

Tori Amos :D

match vs match??
 

Re: match vs match??
 

I don't know about that. Under certain circumstances lighting a fire is THE most intelligent thing you can do. The trick is being smart enough to know when it is and when it isn't.

Examples:
If you are lost in the snowy woods, a fire is a brilliant idea. Especially if you can make it really smoky.

On the other hand...
If you are lost in the chaparral in Southern California in mid August of a dry year, a fire might make your location a little too obvious. You're sure to get plenty of help, but it will probably be too late, unless you are VERY careful. But if you know how to be that careful, you probably know enough not to get lost in the first place.

The same goes for relationships, there are times when a little fire is appropriate and others when it's not. In the case of you students I'd recommend you finish your educations and establish a reasonably steady income before lighting any relational fires. Otherwise things can get way out of hand before you have time to think about it. Talk about playing with fire...

Well making sure this thread doesn't die, I'll put up my personal.
5'11 , 240 lbs, Brown hair, blue-green eyes. I'm driver and team leader. I'm 17, a senior, and single. This is my 4th year on the team. I do a little bit of everything when it comes to technology. I'm a tremendous slacker when it comes to school. I plan to go to college for mechanical engineering.

Hummm.....
 

Re: Hummm.....
 

Yes. I agree. If you don't like a thread, don't continue to read it and don't post in it. If it really offends you though, go to a mod, or report it. I, however, don't see how this particular thread is offensive, in fact, I like it.

Ummm.... bordom sucks.

Re: Hummm.....
 

... And some of us who have found that "special someone" also spend most of our time in the shop :)

I don't see any problem with this thread as long as it doesn't turn into a huge fight ... :rolleyes:

Keep it fun - that's what this is ment to be :)

name:Michelle Zimmer (Don't be afraid to call me something else, I rather am called Michelle)

age: although it doesn't really matter with friends and i can act anything from 3 -20.

interest: well.... I'm posting here aren't I?

the point of posting this: maybe it's cause i'm bored, I love the friends I've already got, my boyfriend is wonderful but.... ever get it where you can have a million friends but they are ALL busy!!??!? :D:D

PM me if you don't know me.... but if ya do I'll accept those too..:)

its accept, dear.....accept :p :D

That was pretty frivilous D.J. You know you can't beat me. That's your best effort?

<-------is NOT impressed

Look out its the grammar police from Kokomo, you better get working on revising your vocabulary for living in Wisconsin boy....they're called bubblers around here, and no I will not let you in my house, if you can even find Oconomowoc on your own.

I like that word, /me is impressed :D

and for randomness (chell will be the only one to really get this) im at school and the cool oldies station is on, I'm listening to elton john - your song :p off to lunch

I love "Your Song" :D

DJ:

Yeah, bubblers rule! And you'd better get used to liking the Packers (or at least not not liking the Packers) unless you want to be severely beaten! You already like brats and cheese so you should be ok in that respect ;) C'mon now, you have 10 months to brush up on your "Wisconsinness"!

- Katie

Look out swiss! We have a new type of cheese!

(or so that word sounds)

I see there are a lot of Seniors and 17 year olds out there! Yet no replies! ;)

I'm 18, what does that mean?

You were born 18 years ago.

wow....

you can date anyone 16 years old and up...
at least in Florida

You _have_ somebody (or at least you say you do :P)

I was at work the other night ( I work at a nursing home)

After dinner is done I sing while I clean up. The ceilings are huge so I can't help but sing. One of the Ladies there picks up bits and pieces of what people say. One of the guys sings a song the starts out "Let me call you sweetheart" So i'll sing that and that will trigger something in her head so she knows the rest of the song. When I sing I usually sing "Your Song" so now whenever I sing the line"Let me call you Sweetheart" somehow she'll go into a verse of "Your Song" in the middle of the Sweetheart song. It's pretty cool that she remembers that cause she has a really big tumor and isn't really there most of the time.. :)
-Sorry, just a random post

:p
/me just gaining more 'friends'

Friends... never understood the concept, and never liked the TV show.

You can vote! and buy lots of things like lottery tickets...and other "stuff"

Go 18 year olds!

I'm a Toys-R-Us Kid!!
 

Hey! I'm from NEPA. :D Betcha you would have never guessed that...you should message me sometime! Err...uhh...wait a minute. :P Gaining _more_ friends? You need some to begin with to gain _more_ :D *ducks and covers*

ROBOT(#*&$(*#$& ASHLEY'S A ROBOT(#*&$(*#&$

:p:mad:

How's everyone's halloween?

Bummer.

My awesome kids are out trick or treating with their father (50 miles away) and I'm at a house that is so far into the boonies that there aren't even any trick or treaters to torment by making them do tricks for their treats (yeah I know, run on sentences).

I'm a not too ugly thirty one year old without even a date on Halloween, making obnoxious posts on a chat forum. How pathetic is that. It's my own fault though. Should have made better plans. Oh well, maybe next year. On the plus side, the kids look really great in the costumes I made for them. Making the kids happy makes up for a lot of silly self pity eh?

I'm gonna go find me some chocolate.

Crazy author lady out.

I hate Halloween. Every year, all these stupid kids come around to my front door, ring the doorbell, demand candy, and rarely ever give thanks...

Ungrateful bastards...

Scrooge has it all wrong. Christmas time is the wrong time to be mean. During Christmas time, you are never forced to do anything, you don't even have to celebrate it. Halloween should be the time he was always pissed off, for the same reasons I expressed above.

halloween was.... interesting for me, to say the least. i went out to go and do my political hours with my friend. yes, i was being political tonight.

it's a funny concept really. we went out to campaign for a candidate, and she had us going around doing "reverse trick or treat." basically we went around to houses and gave out fliers with candy attached to them. we were on the giving end instead of recieving (though i didn't mind if they offered us candy... lol). we were required to wear signs that stated who we were campaigning for, and i swear we got so many strange looks.

when we would go to a house, people would get so confused. we would say "reverse trick or treat," hand them the flier, and they wouldn't be sure if they should give us candy or not. some gave us candy, other stared oddly at us, and a couple laughed.

i only got 3.5 hours out of that though. eh... it was just fun to see people's reactions. i found it amusing... *goes off to rumage through bag of candy*

Well, let's see. I had class until 4:35, didn't get home until 5:30, finished eating dinner by 6:00. Started MIT essays (due tomorrow) around 6:05. Finsihed essays and application around 9:30. Deleted essays because they sucked. Am currently re-writing all essays. Lot of fun...

i think i basically have most people beat. night before halloween was basically a halloween here because underprivlidged kids are bused in and they go trick or treating around our dorms. great idea, i think its awesome....except when i'm trying to study for my two midterms that were on halloween. so yeah, went to poli sci and we were basically expected to answer 9 difficult, intricate questions, a page on each in an hour. i think my hand almost fell off. turned in my test and literally ran with a group of 3-5 people to our next midterm up a steep hill (curse UCLA and their hilly campuses). OMG, that cosmos midterm was definately not fun!

We dressd up in masks and dark clothes, then we sat outside "lifeless"(hehe). We sat the candy out with a note "Sorry, please take one" and scared the kids when they came to take it by "coming to life". :D

me and a bunch of my choir buddies went christmas caroling for halloween. it was so much fun. we have to get money next time we go out.

well a little about myself...
im about 5'9, 145 lbs, brown/blonde hair(depends on time of year), hazel eyes. Play ice hockey. 15 1/2 years old. im 15 years, 6 months, 10 days single (as of 11/4/02).

drop me a line at: dixonij700@hotmail.com or my aim address: ihockeyplayer7

Wow... over 200 replies and over 4000 views, yet this thread still has no rating. heh. Anyway,

How many girls out there enjoy the theater/acting/anything related to the legitimate stage? I'm a techie for that too, master of lighting (NSI rocks) and sound (1500 watts in a relatively small auditorium heh heh heh), and enjoy working on productions just as much as viewing a good production.

Hey! A fellow techie! :) I was wondering if anyone else her did that. I do lights/sets but I personally don't like doing sound :mad:

I was going to tech our fall's musical, but I got so busy with FIRST that I just didn't have the time :( The spring show is during regionals/nationals so I won't be able to tech that one either. Oh well, there's always next year!

- Katie

sorry brandon about those posts( i never heard of that rule. thanks for informing me)

anyway, im going out for my schools musical this year. We're doing Les Mis. i may not be a techie but im gonna be involved with the show somehow.

Oh I do...
Thesbian Fest is this weekend...
performing Grass is Alway Greener from Woman of the Year
then to work on my tech entries for the Jan Comp...

I'm a techie/actress/singer/dancer...

But prop crew had to be the most fun during our last show... I got to make kewl little sculptures that I got to keep...:D (I now have crazy christmas tree all over my back seat)

Thesbian Fest.. never heard of it, but sounds like much fun ;) Especially from a tech perspective. Any kinda fest is always nuts with equipment, and lots of extremely talented women ;)

She said thespian, not lesbian.

Thespian = actor, pertaining to the fine arts.

ROFL. Ha :D

Anyway, back to the subject ...

- Katie

When has CD every stayed on subject for more than 24 hours? Especially in the chit-chat forum?

Hmm... I do not know... *ponders quizzically*

Well, anyway, what's the color of your domicile?

My house is white with green trim.

My house is tanish with white trim, and all like the outside screen doors are purple, dont ask me...my parents are crazy

My house has red brick in front and gray siding

mine is an off white with blue shutters/door and a reddish shingle roof.

I am quite aware of this, I'm not illiterate, and the only two girlfriends I've had were both thespians, one a writer/artist, and one an artist/actress =P As far as the latter goes, I'm not sure what the male obsession with that sort of thing is, nor why that's the first thing that comes to the mind of most guys when any word which sounds like it is spoken/read. I'll never understand my own gender. Anyway, I don't think that sort of discussion is appropriate for this thread.


Back on topic,

I prefer the thespian type myself, particularly actresses and musicians, although artists always hold a special place in my heart.

House Color?!?
 

I'd be interested, but I'm from CT, and as such am quite a ways away, and won't be at either regional. :(

<----- From a rookie team in Rochester, MI. My first time in Robotics.

First time in Robotics can never mean the last ;) Once you're part of the FIRST community.. there is no such thing as a normal life.

Uhm...I didn't have a normal life _before_ robotics :P Then robotics just messed me up more :D

i definately had a life before first.... just no real direction or fire in it... ( or as much stress-stupid people suck)

Yeah, what she said ...

- Katie

Social Life
 

Re: Social Life
 

Well ... before I joined FIRST, I saw the sun for the first six weeks of the new year! Now I get up and go to school when it's still dark out, and by the time I get home at night (usually between 9-10:30 pm) the sun has already set! I used to be able to go home and sleep ... or watch TV ... or something! :D

- Katie

sun? what's that?

ugh....might it possibly be that annoyingly bright thing they seem to enjoy in orlando?

My doctor tells me sun and fresh air will dull my programming skills.

Nah, sun was part of 237's team name a few years back, "Sun Seekers." I don't think it's a physical entity which exhists anywhere...

ack! the day star!

Here's an interesting question:

Would you date someone on your own robotics team? I mean this in sort of a hypothetical way, where there is someone on your robotics team that you like. If so, why would you? If not, why not?

Um...I have dated 2 people on my team...
One i don't ever want to be around again...but luckily he is graduated...
The other...him and I are becoming friends again, it just took us a while to do...

Reasons not to:
- if you break up, tension is created *remembers nats last year*
- it could distract you from getting your work done...
- fights usually end up involving everyone there in that build session...

Reasons to:
- you and the person have the same geeky interests
- you get to spend quality time together without ever worrying about what you are gonna do...
- theres more i just cant think now...

Its up to you...

Currently...I wouldn't date people on my team...but that's for other reasons...

yeah im backing Yearbook50 on that. she summed that up nicely.

I guess I would date someone on my team, but the only problem is, i've befriended all of the females on my team and would never want anything to do with any of them ( in a relationship sence ) but I can see how wanting to date someone with the same interests is a defiante bonus.

IMO, A friendship is a great way to start a relationship. It's much better to have a deep relationship with someone you know a lot about.

True...
But sometimes it might make the friendship end...

_or_ you'd feel too awkward to ask them out...even though you really want to.

You gotta get over your fear at some time in your life :)

I dated a guy on my team once, but he broke up with me when football started. Grr. We're still really good friends, though. A lot of the guys on my team, I've been friends with for years. It would be awkward dating any of them, I think.

... You can always date people from other teams, if not your own! ;)

- Katie

Not always, it depends on where your heart is :)

Or where your team is located ;) (in relation to the potential date's team)

/me agrees...


Hi people :D

Word to that, :D

Back to the subject, Yeah, I'm still searching for that special someone :rolleyes:

Aren't we all?

*shrugs* i suppose so, or else this thread wouldn't have reached 20 pages heh

Guys on my team??
