    92% _____, 8% ______

    By Sumiki,

    I just realized something:
     
    It's logical to assume that people who have these 92% things in their sigs are part of that 8%, right? Right.
     
    There are a lot of people with the same one, the Jonas Brothers one. There are many more than 8% of the population, so it's logical to assume that some of the 92% have it in their sigs.
     
    With me so far? Good.
     
    Now why would people who like the Jonas Brothers have something in their sigs that would make it seem like they hated them?
     
    This logic leads me to my conclusion that the popular 92/8 ratio of people is completely untrue, at least in the sig-fad realm.

    A Better Emo

    By Sumiki,

    Think for a moment about the emo. A good emo, but if used in a bad way it can seem smart-aleck-y. I propose a permanent replacement for in the emoticon. is just awesome B).

    What about this:
     
    BIONICLE: Hero Factory. Tie it in as a sub-heading to the BIONICLE line, then ease the "BIONICLE" part off, leaving "Hero Factory". That way, Bionicle fans are hooked.
     
    Why they didn't do this is beyond me.

    A Bzp Dream

    By Sumiki,

    I dreamed that I was on a college campus walking around a bunch of playgrounds () until EW (whom I have never met and probably never will) showed up and told me Omicron was in the area and we were supposed to find him. We finally did, but right what I was going to say "It sucks, doesn't it?", I got real dizzy and woke up.

    In addition to the annual series of Sumiki-vs.-Sumiki's-Dad Nerf battles, we have added two new nuances. Now, instead of just shooting each other, there is a rolling chair that is called "the tank" and is actually kind of ineffective but it's fun to roll around on.
     
    The second one involves a tiny duck that squawks the name of a certain supplemental insurance company three times when pressed. It's been around for years and I'm surprised that it hasn't run out of battery. In any event, we use this as a kind of grenade. We get it to start saying something, and then if one of us can hit the other with the duck while it's saying something, the person who has been hit has to stand up and get hit with a "free shot."
     
    I'm not sure how interesting any of this is, but I thought it was amusing enough to share.

    It is a game: a full-length Bionicle game that interactively takes you through all of the years of Bionicle. I like computer programming a lot, and this will be a good exercise. It will be split up into multiple parts, each generally lasting about a year of the story.
     
    The thing is, I don't know what program to use. Game Maker, while it's good, can only be accessed in its "Lite" version on a slow Dell that's in my basement. I need the Pro version for it to work, but we've tried everything to make it work (it doesn't have an internet hookup), and it doesn't work.
     
    It's also 2D, which has its pros and cons, but Rayg stuff (the sprites I want to use if it's 2D) will work on it.
     
    The other option is Unity 3D. It's free, runs on Mac, and would be awesome to use, seeing as Glatorian Arena was made with it.
     
    However, I will have to construct my own characters in 3D form. While this would be really neat and über-insanely-awesome, it would take a bucketload of work, and I have no prior experience in 3D art.

    A P Chemistry

    By Sumiki,

    I'm doing AP chemistry. That's college work for those who don't know.
     
    If you don't believe me, then, well, do YOU know the Pauli Exclusion Principle as it applies to quantum numbers? Or Hund's Rule for that matter? Or the four quantum numbers?

    A Slight Guessing Game

    By Sumiki,

    For other reasons which I will not disclose, I will refrain from using any terms that may exactly pinpoint where I went when I was away from BZP. However, you can probably figure it out.
     
    "We" in this story mean me and my family.
     
    We packed up from our house, which is 4 and a half hours north of our destination. We went the entire distance in one day, eventually arriving at our hotel room. The service wasn't great, as we soon discovered. The bathroom had a door on it that we were barely able to squeeze in and out of, the TV controls wouldn't work, a lightbulb was burned out, and the sink was busted. Luckily, with all of the things to see and the history involved in the city we were in, we didn't spend and more time than we had to in out room.
     
    We arrived at a seafood restaurant across from our hotel after the sun set. We cam right before the crowd did, and it was so noisy we barely even heard each other across the table. And the table wasn't that big!
     
    It was slow ordering, and a huge party stood right behind where I was sitting. I could not hear a thing besides the overall clatter of the restaurant.
     
    The food was tasty, though, and we got back to our hotel soon without any problems.
     
    The next day, Wednesday, we prepared for much walking, to see the sights left over from our country's history, mainly wars. We must have walked miles. But as I type, my feet feel no worse for wear.
     
    After a breakfast of "burnt coffee" (as my dad called it), cold waffles, and strange syrup, we got out into the city. The first site was a place where ammunition was stored during one of our nation's wars. We then ambled through a graveyard (creepy) when it stared to rain. Luckily it cleared itself up.
     
    We traveled to an old mart where a certain horribly commodity was bought, sold, and auctioned off. There were two ladies there that kept wanting to interject into our conversations, so we decided to move on.
     
    Next we went to an old house that was a beautiful specimen of architecture. I impressed the tour guide with my mentioning of two types of symmetry and insightful questions. Here's how the conversation generally went:
     
    Tour Guide: [name], could you tell us what symmetry is? [The guide was talking about the architecture of the house, probably thinking of the answer "Equal on both sides"]
     
    Sumiki: Symmetry is when there is a certain line, or two lines, that run through a figure, but on either side of the line is a mirror image of the other side. Now there is also rotational symmetry, where a figure can be rotated and looks like an exact reproduction of the original before the figure rotates a full 360 degrees.
     
    Tour Guide: ...
     
    Later the tour guide mentioned to my parents that I should be in a gifted class. I, overhearing, thought to myself, I could teach the gifted class.
     
    Afterwards, we continued to a major body of water that, along the coast, had sealed-up cannons on them. I would have climbed them, but the gusts of wind that day were so big that my mom lost part of her earring.
     
    Also, we ate at an award-winning restaurant. I got a Po'Boy, a type of sandwich. Our waiter told me there was a rule that came with ordering a Po'Boy: You had to get all the ingredients on one bite. The Po'Boy included gigantically enormous bread, shrimp, onions, tomato, and lettuce, complete with a Roumelade sauce. I was assured that he was joking, but I took him up on the offer and did it. Even he was surprised I managed.
     
    Later, after relaxing a bit, we tried to find a place to eat. The first place we tried was a very loud place, so we came out of there and ended up in an Italian restaurant that really wasn't Italian at all. The pizza came back...burnt. That was okay, as we weren't that hungry.
     
    The next day, we were all pretty beat. We managed to skip breakfast and get back out. We visited an old dungeon that was kind of a let-down, and the anima-tronics that were installed were sort of childish.
     
    We soon got back out and started towards a smokehouse. I ordered some Calimari, better known as squid. It was the best I ever had, but it had one feature they could have left out:
     
    It was spicy. Really, really spicy.
     
    Now don't get me wrong, I normally handle spicy stuff really well. I sometimes can eat Jalapenos without getting bothered that much. But the sauce the applied to the squid could not be quenched with the pink lemonade I ordered. I went through two or three tall glasses and my mouth was still on fire. ( + :blush:) It was the first time I ever got red in the face because of a spicy food. I eventually got some milk, and that quenched it, but my stomach was on fire hours after.
     
    We rested from the long two days in our room, until the first vestiges of hunger appeared. Then for ours we semi-debated: Stay and eat a nice dinner, or leave and pick up something on the way back? Eventually electing the latter, we called up our car from the Valet parking and we were off.
     
    Soon into our trip northwards, we decided we wanted something to eat. So we pulled into a fast-food chain's drive-thru and waited for a while. The woman five cars up was visibly frustrated that her order couldn't be taken, so we got back on the highway and headed for another exit.
     
    The next exit we pulled in and went inside, as the drive-thru line was pretty busy. The workers didn't look too enthused about taking our order, and they didn't, so we again headed for a different exit.
     
    We finally got some food at another drive-thru and got home at 12:30 A.M. After a quick unpack, we all dozed off.
     
    Now I'm awake and typing.
     
    Try to guess where we went for our trip.

    I would say "presented out of context" but I don't even remember the context for this in the slightest.
