Just thought I'd share that, it's kind of a story.
When we first got our robot built, I stole the controller and had the person who built it hold still.

I then proceeded to grab his nose with it xD

Well...I was trying to get a graduated cylinder for Food Science, and I spaced out and ended up grabbing something for Mission Impossible. So one boy through a long pole at me (like he was throwing a javelin). The event coach then said "Hey Stop, the event isn't called 'Storm the Kitchen'"
I'm now thinking of rules to start 'Storm the Kitchen'

TM1: Oh look, there's a tree! I want to climb it...
Me: There is no way you're going to be able to climb that--
*TM1 jumps and pushes himself on top of the lowest branch*
Me: ...Unless you do that...

*five minutes later, TM1 is at the top of the tree...and a security guy starts waving at him to GET DOWN!!!*
*TM1 scrabbles down as quickly as humanly possible.*

Well, it was funny at that time.
Haha, I have done that before.
Once last year several of the guys on my team were having a contest to see who could get to the first branch of the tree the fastest ( it was about 6 ft up). I asked if i could try and they laughed at me.

Then i got to the TOP of the tree faster than any of them could get to the 1st branch. Stupid guys :lol:

I saw that same security guard later that day. He gave me the evil eye... :?

Fighting within the team is inevitable, and it never stops either.

Me (being the only 'real' 8th grader on the team) has to listen to the daily "Gender Warz" going on between the 6th & 7th grade girls and boys.

Yay for mediation :|
of course the girls share food with me though, so I'm inclined to support their argument.

I have a standing arrangement with the Food Science kids. I give them Pizza....They give me cookies, pie, cake, crapes ect. ect.

Except the problem is they tend to eat most of it before it gets to me. :evil:
