Top Ten Favorites
If you were really my friends, you would have gone back into the archives and read each and every post from now all the way back to junior year. But time is short from now until graduation.
Top Ten Favorite Posts
These are my top ten favorite posts for various reasons. Either, they are interesting, me showing off, or just because I have fond memories of the incidents blogged.
Beware, some of these are very long (1000+ words) and may constitute much procrastination on your part.
As of Nov 2008
1. Prom-1 (Junior year prom)
This is my favorite just for being one of my few actually literary significant posts. Not exactly a short story, due to the required Sparknotes spoof at the end, but brimming with ironic examples to really strengthen my point.
2. Post Prom Post (Senior year prom)
Yeah, Prom was fun.
3. “Stop making out!”
A good day. Good friends. Good fun. It’s nice to read this post and reminisce, I guess.
4. Slideshow
I am really proud of this slideshow, that I made singlehandedly. Just showing off I guess. Plus it consolidates all my math team fun from senior year.
5.“Furious Worms”
More math team fun. Plus a true surprise birthday party for true mathlete.
6. “Popeye-esqueâ€
I don’t know how many of you have to deal with caffeine junkies, but it’s definitely a unique experience.
7.“Pimps don’t wear snowshoes!†(Turnabout 2007)
My first high school dance. It’s also the birth of my “Grand Unified Dance Theory” which is filled with pseudoscientific observations and equations. Not to mention a fun night overall. The rapid fire innuendos toward the end were the cherry on top.
8. My Irrational Tattoo
Math nerds everywhere will get a kick out of this. And the last line is just the best ever.
9. The Pimp Returns (Homecoming 2007)
Even more development of GUDT. Complete with graphs.
10. Academic Hostel
This is one of many of my more reference-filled notes. There is a meticulously photoshopped Halo reference to accompany the Max Payne homage in the finals post immediately before it.
