The Second Word and books

I finally got something out of a girl at school. It was a year since she last said anything to me, and that was no. I made the fatal mistake of asking her if she played chess... Complete and utter rejection for an entire year. Several days ago however, she said "Hey." I was so surprised that I looked around me first to make sure that she wasn't talking to someone else, before attempting to get out a "Yo." However, my wits hadn't quite returned in the half second that had passed, and all I got off was a grunt. I don't think that I am very high up on her list of "salvageable males" to use a zits term. Personally, I think that this is simply hilarious, although I don't know why.

Recently our family has been reading Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatinni (I think that is how you spell his name) at any rate, it is by far the craziest tale I have ever heard told, and I must recommend it to you. You can get it for free off of http://www.manybooks.net. (which is, by the way, an excellent site. I'll link it if I remember. Check it out if you are a book lover.)

Thermite, Xebec, and The Zarz of Hazard

I think we are actually going to succeed in making thermite. Thermite is simply aluminum powder and Iron (III) oxide, which you get by pouring bleach on iron. This reaction produces chlorine gas though, so I don't recommend doing it unless out doors in a windy area. All you do is mix the aluminum powder and the Iron (III) oxide in a certain proportion. (I think it is one to one, but I haven't checked it mathematically) at any rate, it burns at temperatures of up to 3000K and can burn underwater or in space, and can allegedly burn through the engine block of a car...

I am presently in three bands. One of them a friend of mine made and called Smile, however, she left and it sort of fell apart. The second is Xebec (which, incidentally is just me), and the Third hasn't actually done anything, but is called the Zarz of Hazard. When I get to America, I think I will join another one, bringing my tally up to four... I am now a teenage rock god... Maybe.

The Anarchist's Cookbook

The Anarchist's Cookbook is not really so anarchist as it is just how to do all sorts of really dumb fun sounding stuff, like how burn a hole through straight through a car's hood, engine block and the asphalt below with just a little thermite... Which they tell you how to make. It is online, go to http://www.everything2.com and then in the search bar type in anarchist cookbook. It should come up with a list of crazy things to do from nitroglycerine, to dynamite, to C4, to thermite, to phone taps, to computer hacking, to vending machine theft, to chlorine gas, to hypnotization, to messing up a MacDonald... The list goes on... It is a great way to blow time. The thermite recipe I think is the easiest, and it is pretty awesome too... Have fun, but try not to knock yourself out...
