Someone told me about the Boston Video.
I'm a regular, been coming to this site for a while (possibly since the xanga)
Link from another website.
A friend told me.
I'm not actually here, but an inexplicable cosmic coincidence is letting me vote in this poll anyway.

Here's the Deal.
Well, school starts tomorrow...and you've probably noticed that I haven't posted a whole lot. Er...at all, really.

Wian9k is taking a break. No, it isn't dead forever, and yes, it will be back someday. When that someday is, I can't say.

But I am keeping the site up, at least. You can access all the old archives with all the posts, including the ever-loved Boston video. On a side note, the Orchestra is going to Austria later this year...expect an awesome video from there as well.

So...live without wian9k for now. It isn't dead, it's just in a prolonged coma. But if/when it does come back, you'll hear about it, I promise.

Harry Potter and the Half-Dead Mitchell
I know I'm not supposed to post anymore, and don't get your hopes up because of this, but my experiences the other night were just too....abnormal...to remain un-posted. I mean, the situation practically screams, "POST ME ALEX!!! POST ME!!" So I did.

Harry Potter and the Half-Finished Puberty Half-Blood Prince came out at 12:01 midnight last night, making nerds (aka. Harry Potter Fans) of all shapes and sizes stay up waaaay too late to get their hands on a book valued second only to the Bible. How do I know? Well, you see, I was there.

Now, before you say "OMFG, Mitchell is such a book-loving nerd geek freak," you should know that I didn't actually make this decision until 11:45 that night. I figured, what the hell, it'd at least be cool to see all the creepy nerds. That, and I'll get a sweet post out of it.

More in the full story...trust me, you want to read this one.

What's goin on?
I know what you're thinking: woa, wtf? I thought Wian9k died??

Well, it did, kind of. But, after being yelled at by a lotta my friends that liked the old posts, i decided to restore the original index.php.

*IF* I can convince my parents to let me keep doing this, then the site'll be back. But don't get your hopes up. Leave a comment if you feel like saying something.

Not-Briefly: New Design, SCHOOL BE OUT!!!
[Okay, I had an inspiration, so I made a post before this one below about yearbooks, i'd suggest reading it first.]

Well, the new design is officially finished. And when I say "finished," I mean, "not finished, but it works as well as it's ever gonna."

Phew...that was a lot harder than I thought it'd be. Making this site work with stupid IE, that is. In today's post, I'll go over what I did, and on what browsers it'll work.

Also, SCHOOL'S OUT!! YEA!! That's pretty sweet, besides the fact that SOMEONE *cough* LAUREN *cough* got me sick, so I've been at home with little to do. But at least it gave me time to make this work in crappy IE.

Over the next week, I'll be posting up stuff from various writers; I've already got two lined up by Vivi and RJ. RJ's is over a week old...so sorry to him, and all those waiting for it. It'll either be up tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, depending on how many people see this.

So...ok! Let's do this thang.

The Yearbook Signature Awards 2005
The end of year marked mass hysteria, strife, and, of course, yearbooks.

Everybody loves yearbooks, especially signing them. I signed a ton of yearbooks, because it's fun to sign your name on things. That's how graffiti was born.

At any rate, today's post is all about arguably pointless yearbook signatures. And, I've started a new tradition: The Yearbook Signature Awards. That's where I honor the best/worst/longest/crappiest signatures signed in my yearbook, and a list of quotable quotes.

Briefly: New Design, SCHOOL BE OUT!!!
"Holy crap!"

That's probably what you said when you saw this new design. Yes, it's very cool*. No, it isn't *completely* finished...but I promised you I'd have it done today. Don't be surprised if you find a bug. Or two. Or ten.

I'm sorry...but I really don't have time to elaborate on all the changes right now; i'm on my way to a party celebrating the fact that SCHOOL BE OUT!!!! (yayness!). I'll go over it in detail this weekend, along with an end-of-school-year post.

*Note: the site might (and when I say "might" I mean "almost definitely" look like total crap in any version of Internet Explorer. I will get around to fixing this...but first I have to figure out why it isn't working. Shame on IE and their non-CSS compliant crappy browser. If you happen to be running on explorer, click here to download Firefox in the meantime, because the site looks great on Firefox. But, as always, it still looks best on Safari. Any mac users should view this w/ Safari.

So yeah, sorry I can't elaborate more right now...but I will this weekend, promise. For now, just poke around a lil' and see the cool new color scheme. If you find a bug, comment on this post with it, and I'll get to fixing it this weekend. Remember; I have no idea how this looks on windows, so you guys gotta help me.

SCHOOL BE OUT!!! WOOOO!

Asian Parents
OH MY FREAKEN GOD, THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I'M WRITING THIS POST THINGY... LAST TIME IT DIDN'T FREAKEN WORK. SO IF IT DOESN'T WORK NOW, I'M GOING TO FREAKEN SHOOT MYSELF.

Wow, I just said 'freaken' 3 times in 3 sentences... funny.

So anyways, this post is about STUPID ASIAN PARENTS AND THEIR ACTIONS. By 'actions', i mean like...how they're racists, rude, etc. The list can serioulsy go on forever. Acutally, I'm really referring to my parents and realtives.. but I think it also applies to other asian parents, from what I've heard. Who knows, you can decide on that.

PALS... and Mitchell
[This is Vivi's first post. Note the basic speech and elementary language that define her writing style ;) By the way, whenever you see something in brackets, that's something that I (Alex) wrote]


So last night at 11 something, I realize that we had a speaking PALs today. Me and french...don't...go together... I SUCK at it. You can ask Mitchell...I'm sure he'll agree. [I do.]

Anyways, I spent a good 20 mins studying for french *which is an awfully long time for me* and went to bed at 12ish, feeling crappy in the morning as I always do.

I get to french to learn that the computer lab that we were supposed to use is in use for the people who faked sick during the SOLs. The whole class was cheering, thinking that we didn't have to do our PALs. Yea, our little celebration didn't exactly last too long. Instead, we had to do our PALs one on one with our teacher staring at us 0_0.
