    Quiz Bowl was always great because I never knew in advance when we'd have one. I'd be walking down the hall between classes, and the coach would be like, "hey, come on, we gotta go to a quiz bowl on the other side of the state." And I'd be like "Sweet, lemme grab a soda."

    That and it's basically just "How well can you retain totally arbitrary and random knowledge," so there's no way to practice or study for it or anything. It was something I was good at, but that I didn't have to work at.

    2000- Freshman in high school, straight A's CCGs and a little 40k
    2001- Sophmore, A's and B's, sleep too much, move on to RPGs, keep up the 40k
    2002- Junior, sleeping through most of my classes, nerd games, quiz bowl, and band are pretty much my only social contacts, thinking about suicide way too much
    2003- Senior, more sleeping, less socializing, more suicidal
    2004- supposed to graduate, almost don't, squeeze by at the "alternative school", things start looking up, head off to SIU, start sleeping again
    2005- drop out of SIU, mom kicks me out, I get an apartment, drop out of community college
    2006- drop out of community college again, start sleeping again, sometimes go a week without speaking to anyone outside of work
    2007- decide I need to find a calling, start taking classes at Moody Distance Learning Center, teaching Sunday School, working with youth, too busy to be depressed, start sorting shit out, mission trip to Romania to work with orphans
    2008- continue with classes, shit mostly sorted out, focus on youth work, mission trip to Caucases, mission trip to Central Asia, figured out what I'll do with my life
    2009- taking a heavier course load, done sorting shit out, focusing on moving on, more youth work, back to Central Asia, accepted at Moody Bible Institute for Spring 2010, generally being awesome

    Quiz Bowl! God I miss that shit!

    I was the reject of the quiz bowl team. I wasn't particularly good, didn't have a specialty, and didn't know how to play euchre.

    2000: Y2K. Nothing happens. I'm preparing for highschool after not attending 8th grade
    2001: First year of highschool, parents split up. I am wearing oversized shirts with flames and spiking my hair.
    2002: First "girlfriend", first kiss, break up after a week. Tribes 2 comes out and I play it religiously.
    2003: Join the PA forums shortly after they come back online. Mostly post in the AC.
    2004: Half-Life 2. Elections. I stop spiking my hair and dressing like a douchebag

    2005: First year of college. My town has a fairly large university, so I stay at home. I start dressing in nicer clothing. Start making friends.
    2006: Move on campus like a normal college kid, start making tons of friends. Meet my girlfriend, lose my V-card, caught a bullfrog.
    2007: Start an Assassin's Guild at the dorm, it is popular for awhile. I work 3rd shift stock room at Target over the summer. Make mad scrilla and almost lose my mind.
    2008: Turn 21. Move off campus to live with the lady over the summer. All goes great. We are forced to take on a friend of hers as a room mate over the school year. All goes to shit. Obama is elected.
    2009: The lady and I break things off. I sleep with some other people. I realize I truly love the first woman I've ever slept with. We get back together a week before our 3rd year anniversary. Indie[PAX] happens and I miss almost all of it.

    Actually, what would be cool since we have so many awesome artists here would be to do something like TIGSource's Assemblee: a bunch of artists make some assets and then a bunch of programmers/designers make a game out of them

    Oh, cool, let's see if I can still chronicle my life.
    2000 - I'm in grade 8, it's kind of lame. I did beat some fast sprinters in a race, after getting 4th place in grade 7, though. That was cool.

    2001 - I get a new art teacher, and she's really nice. I get some new friends.

    2002 - I've got a bunch of new friends, we are all dorky and take up the hall with our numbers.

    2003 - Grade 11, going to a Senior Secondary school, the big group disperses, some move away, some make other friends. It's fine though, my older friends go to the Senior Secondary school as well.

    2004 - Graduation, woo hoo, going to college, made some new friends over the summer, got reacquainted with the first friend I had met when I was little. I turn 18 in November. Got lots of kisses from ladies. Had my first kiss in December, and lady friend.

    2005 - Didn't re-enter college, have first lovemaking in February, get first job, move to Victoria in September to be with ladyfriend.

    2006 - Ladyfriend drops out of university and moves home. I find an intro session for a pharmacy tech program at the local college, and apply. Get a job, but move back home a month later. Get another job, move in with a friend, break up with ladyfriend, get back together with ladyfriend a month later, get my first very own computer.

    2007 - Break up with ladyfriend, work and have fun with friends, have a short relationship with another lady, stop talking to everyone, move to another city in October to be with my mother, move to Victoria for the pharmacy tech program.

    2008 - Schooooooooooooooooooooooool (and posting), and schoooooool, (and first forum battle, 2nd place winner), and schoooool (and working), and schoooool (and my old friend has a band, so I go and see her play whenever she does), and girlfriend, and school, and I meet Mully, Bombardier, Zonky, and As7, and school practicum, and shit fail practicum by .2 points, broken hearted, don't do anything about it, have Christmas with Mully and Bombardier 'cause the planes get snowed in, have lots of fun.

    2009 - Come home to Victoria from Christmas at mom's, landlady sold house, so I'm at her house, move to another house with crappy dirty disgusting roommates, girlfriend cheats on me, working, roommates move out, I have the entire basement to myself, get new roommates in my friend from work and his 17 year old girlfriend, get a new drawing tablet, forum battles, working and hanging out with them, move to Burnaby, look for somewhere to live, Paxsplosion and I meet all the forumers and lots of hanging out occurs with Vancouver people, miss PAX 'cause I didn't get passport stuff in, find somewhere to live, find a job, computer hard drive dies, turn 23, get a new computer (Bombardier puts it together, thanks Bombardier!), hard drive dies, waiting for the new hard drive.

    OK proper.

    1997-2002 (11-16)

    I enroll in a Public school (Private school in US definition) that is single sex (male). Most of my early personality is developed there, retarded as it is.

    2003-2004

    My school is linked to a female single sex school for "Sixth form"; my fucked up social sight is recalibrated.

    2004-2005

    I enter a prominent UK scientifically biased univerisity; My mind crushed in the first few weeks. I enter a period of my first nervous breakdown for a week or so.

    2006-2007

    I meet the first person who I genuinely feel love for. I feel something I have never felt before and have not felt since. She may feel the same way or not I cannot tell.

    2007-2008

    I graduate strongly with an honours Chemistry degree. I expect rightly it will mean little.

    2008- Mid 2009

    I fuck up my life further with a shitty bar job. I experience my second breakdown which lasts a week or so.

    2009-Present

    I restore my life somewhat with a temporary job in a precious metals analysis company. It makes me feel clever again.

    To be honest I'm actually convinced it was a controlled demolition, its the story behind it that really sounds retarded.

    But then its not really something that affects me so I dont take the whole thing extremely seriously.

    ''wow you're a fucking retard dadouw holy shit'' there I did the job for you

    ok then what about the thousands of videos of planes filled with highly explosive jet fuel crashing into the buildings.

    I aint saying there was no planes, but I am saying that the jet fuel probably wasnt enough to melt a building to the point that it collapsed straight down. Part of it would've collapsed at best, and not straight down.

    Probably. Beside I do not care enough about the towers to start an unpleasent argument about it. I rest my case

    2000: School is pretty bad and I am pretty bad
    2001: Terrorist atrocities and I finally start to play the Half-Life games less, probably no connection
    2002: Start to realise that I could actually write if I put my mind to it
    2003: I finish writing a book and have awkward sexual encounter (not at the same time)
    2004: First proper girlfriend, she's terrible and I eventually find her mid-bang with another guy
    2005: New girlfriend finally distracts me from Half-Life 2
    2006: Horrible breakup because she turns out to be an insane stalker, start work as a copy-editor
    2007: Sell a short story to a magazine, I make barely any money but FUCK YEAH highlight of the year
    2008: Start writing a different book because the first one annoys me, playing more TF2 than is healthy

    Just a quick, QUICK, explanation cuz I really don't like talking about 9/11, conspiracies or otherwise.

    Fuel had alot to do with it, the architecture of the towers did too. The middle of the towers were basically hollow, elevator shafts, plumbing, electrical all run up the middle with offices around the outside to optimize window views. Planes hit with so much force that it blew all the fire retardant off the steel inner structure, jet fuel poured down the center of the tower and then melted enough steel to cause structural failure.

    Eh why not:

    2000-2003: grade 3-6, I'm a hyperactive kid, and I later learn that I suffered from ADD at the time, however our school was so small that no one really cared and stuff so It didn't really matter. 9/11 happens as well, yet being so young I'm never really explained what happened and such until later on in life. I also played star craft back in 99 (my first game), and eventually half life. I keep playing games since then.

    2004: Grade 7, I get my head out of my ass and start getting decent grades (70-80% on average). I mature a bit and get to play half life 2. Its excellent. One of my brothers is 3 years older then me, and at about this time we start fighting over the stupidest of shit for years, we get over the fights quickly, but we cant go a week without it.

    2005: Grade 8, I continue fighting with my brother and playing games. I also start reading the PA comic and the forums every once in a while.

    2006: Grade 9, again we are still fighting, and I'm still gaming. My dad gets remaiired to a woman who I have only know for a few months, and I grow to hate him with a passion. My brother comes down with some serious stomach issues. I also start boxing at this time. Im sorta alone, as no one I know plays games very much and few people share interests with me.

    2007: Grade 10, I go to the huge high school, I mature a shit ton, my brother has to repeat grade 12 because he missed well over half of his classes. We figure out the problem he has been having though so he gets better, we fight and I nearly punch him straight in the face, but resist and avoid him for a few days. I also join the forums and start posting, and I play tf2 for the first time. I get a mic and talking a fucking ton and kinda regret it. I ditch my old friends and meet some new people who actually play games and share interests with me.

    2008: Grade 11, He moves out and we never fight again. Ever since he has been one of the coolest people I know. My marks are good, again 70-80% average. But slip a little toward the end of the year. I still play games a fucking ton, but I know have friends to actually talk to.

    2009: Grade 12, I become closer to PA, and talk with a fair amount of people here regularly. My buddies are still with me. I'm failing 3 of my 4 classes at the moment, and have been contemplating suicide for a few months. Over the past 2 weeks I have started to do work, and while It is int much its a start. I do a ton of thinking and I don't even know what to think anymore, shits wack. I also stop boxing as the club I went to was really shitty at this point, it was myself and maybe 4 other people going every night we had lessons, and I wasn't enjoying it.

    I'm worried about what I'm gona do after high school, as my whole life has been handed to me on a silver plater at this point. I'm gona do my best to get my grades up and shit, we will see how it goes.

    One thing I did today though, I cleaned out my key board for my computer. I don't know why but I was pretty proud of it. Got a bunch of hair and shit out of it, yuck.

    EDIT: Also, I say I should post more, but I take a long ass time to post, sometimes upwards of 30 minutes for a single post. No idea why though!

    THE YEAR 2000
    My Senior year in highschool. I travel with the school orchestra to England and France, perform in Westminster Abbey with the Queen in attendance. Win music subject prize, almost fail english. Graduate, travel with some friends to traditional Australian end of highschool celebrations - "Schoolies" - get very very stoned and play Mariokart 64. Successfully audition and enroll in music college. I meet a girl who I think I would definitely like to have sex with.

    THE YEAR 2001
    I Quit smoking cigarettes, continue to smoke weed. Start college, immediately hate it. Meet and join a reggae, funk, hip-hop band called Hot Rubber Glove. My family home is finished construction and I buy my first car and get my first tattoo.

    THE YEAR 2002
    I join the forums (under the chick magnet username "Yuri Prime") to flitter away the 6 hour breaks I have between classes at Music College which I still hate. An increasing amount of my time and energy is invested in the band. We tour up and down the east coast of Australia and play over 100 gigs including Livid Festival, sharing a bill with Oasis and the White Stripes and also record an album. It receives minimal national radio play and generally positive reviews. Engage in horrible long distance relationship with girl 4 years younger. Girl pledges undying love and threatens suicide every few weeks. The forums die. College becomes intractably boring.

    THE YEAR 2003
    Forums come back to life! I register the now infamous username OCTOTHORPE PIPE and induce years of confusion. I tell crazy girl I can't deal with her shit anymore. I start messing around in photoshop to design band gig posters and album art and also buy my first Film SLR Camera.

    THE YEAR 2004
    Band records an album in one of the country's best studios in the Northern New South Wales hinterland, produced by legendary Jamaican dub producer The Mad Professor. Recording the album turns into a gigantic shit fight, I get punched in the face at a gig by a drunk punter and I seriously consider quitting the band. I wake up one morning with what I think is a hangover and am violently ill. Over the following days the illness becomes worse and it is determined that I have tonsillitis.

    THE YEAR 2005
    I have tonsillitis 19 more times before my doctor suggests taking them out. I secure a six month break from music college and get those suckers cut out. During the six months away I decide I have no interest going back. I travel to the United States for the first time following a band I liked at the time as they tour through 4 states. I attend my last ever music festival as a guest (Vans Warped Tour, Buffalo NY) at which I get stung by a bee and my allergy manifests. I return to Australia to find my position in the band has been filled in my 4 week absence after 4 years of service. I tell the stinking hippy bass player and self appointed band leader to go fuck himself and I never talk to him again.

    THE YEAR 2006
    My new life officially begins. I enrol in design college and graduate with a degree 3 months later. After another 3 months and 3 interviews I land my first full time job as a graphic designer. Life is friggin sweet most of the time. Both of my brothers announce that their girlfriends are pregnant. One of them gets married.

    THE YEAR 2007
    My nephews are born and instantly awesome. My other brother gets married. I finally have sex with that girl I met back in 2000 and it's awesome.

    THE YEAR 2008
    My friends start a small but rad webdesign firm and ask me to come onboard as a print designer. I say "fuck yeah! but first I gotta go to America real quick" I quit my job and jump on a plane for my first ever PAX. have an absolute blast, resolve to come back the next year, return home broke and exhausted. Start my job with my friends who run out of work for me after 3 months and regrettably have to let me go.

    THE YEAR 2009
    Jobless, with the world on the verge of financial collapse, I panic. Luckily a friend is offered a great new design job and recommends me for her old one, which I fall into with the greatest of ease. Make more money than ever before in a more relaxed environment and get to officially add "photographer" onto my job description. I Lose 60 or so pounds. Take my first leave to go back to PAX, have another blast. Make this post.
