Rob before he dyed his hair blue. He bleached it first, his natural hair color is darker than mine.

Heh...I convinced my mom to spike his hair up like that for a pic.

Here's Rob, looking reflective...or something. I said "I want to say you look Super Saiya-jin, but...you don't." Haha.

And here we are! Blue hair.

The top of his blue head. Just to accentuate the color more.

Alright, enough of Rob. Here's the pictures I took while his hair bleached.

The Bass Clarinet. It's on loan from the school. Would you believe that I had to go out and buy a reed? They didn't even give me what I needed to make the instrument work! They also didn't give me a Claricord, because the thing is heavier than a bloated elephant.

Orange soda! ..on it's side.

My bamboo! Also on it's side. This was a birthday present from my awesome grandma. Bow down to her l33tness. I never would have gotten bamboo, or figured out how to play piano, if it wern't for her.

I got bored and I had lots of origami models (From an origami calender, also from my grandma. For Christmas.) so I hung them from my fan. My grandma can't fold origami, so I usually do it for her. Folding several bases and sticking them together into a modular impresses her. But hey, it takes me forever to get them stuck together...

I've also taken all the pictures I could find and taped them to a panel of my mirror. I don't use it anyway, so this was cool. Those are my legs underneath the flash bulb.

To round out my room, here's my laptop! It can't connect to the internet, and it frequently crashes for no reason and stays that way for weeks (I just started it up for the first time since last year in late February), but I love my laptop anyway. It's really cool when it crashes, because stuff that didn't work before starts working again. I lost all my cool animated icons and stuff, and then it crashed last year. I start it back up and poof! They work again. It's self-healing abilities never cease to amaze me.

While we're talking comps, here's Ol' Clunky, the 5-year-old desktop! Both my computers are effective paperweights, but I can hide things under the keyboard. This one has 7 gigs of memory. 7 whole gigs! WOW! That was an achievement for 5 years ago. Now I see 'Get 5 billion gigs of memory for your music and games!' HA! My laptop up there has less than 1 and a half gigs total memory (I've got an old Angelfire account with closer to 2 and a half), and it's my arcade. Amazingly, my laptop runs faster than old clunky, and, in preportion, has more crap on it. But, Clunky has a working 56k internet connection (yes, 56k. Hard to believe, ain't it?), so I bear with it for my internet needs. I really should clear out the HD...

That's it for now. If my digital camera that I got for Christmas would work, then I'd have pics of my Tennessee stepfamily...oh well.

Then again, I'd have a webcam and pics of the Dinosaur skeleton in Chicago O'Hare. You never EVER want to have a 3 hour layover there. There's too many people and it looks like there's lots to do, but there's not. At least there's not stuff to do that is blatantly obvious. I went in there with $15, and I left with $9. Ya know what I spent it on? Food. They screwed up my McDonalds order, but just in case, I had properly provisioned myself with a bottle of soda, a bag of Doritos, and a can of Pringles. There were 10 people in that little shop, 10!!! At least! At least I didn't get mugged. But I did have the opprotunity to use the coolest bathrooms in the world. The toilet seats there have these little plastic sock things on them, so when you get up and the automatic fluser runs, you push this little button behind the seat, and you get to watch a new sock thing replace the old one!

Aah, simple pleasures in life are the best.
