Bzflag wise I've been using this for a few weeks now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqIPHt-F4sQ&feature=related not sure why but it seems to work quite well for me. Though if someone would have told me it would, I probably wouldn't have believed it.

another funny thing, apparently when I was messing around with the TV remote I tuned closed caption on, and dad couldn't figure out how to turn it off, apparently it's annoying him. So I'm going to fix it (fixing it wasn't voluntary :P)

I joked that I might use it in the future for my entertainment, apparently dad doesn't like that idea. And apparently if I do that, I won't be using the remote ever again, ouchies. Maybe I shouldn't have told him that... Works out when I don't... like the time I found, and set our phone's alarm clock, though I don't know if the purpose was to wake my parents, I believe it might have been to wake me up, though it didn't I know that much, apparently this went on for around a week before I was informed of it, yes it was an accident, I remember now. Why is it the funny things that I cause tend to be accidentle. Apparently that alarm had been waking them for a week (lol, makes me laugh every time. Never gets old, almost forgot about it too). Dad couldn't figure out how to turn it off, fortunately I did.

neither does this:
When I tried to take out a burned out lightbulb, it broke, and my fingers, completed the circuit, apparently fingers can conduct electricity pretty well. Some light was emitted as well.


It seems many times when I try to do something intentionally it tends to blow up in my face... many things in general actually... like when I was 12 tried a random call/hang up, and I apparently dialed someone's number whom had caller ID, never did that again...

It also seemed whenever I did something I always got caught. I wasn't good at hiding things, still not particularly well at it. They knew me way too well, and even if they didn't I was easier to spot me lying, then it is to find scotch tape in our house (we have around 30 rolls in the house). And even if I did, eventually my conscience would get to me, and I'd confess. I'm pretty predictable, I'll usually ask "What if I did so-and-so, what would you do?". In reality most of the time I had already done it (if I could've done it without their knowledge, or I was considering doing it). Now it's more jokingly, being curious what the consequences whould be, perhaps I'm just stregthening the reasons why I shouldn't do that something (I think that's why now). I'm giving myself more reasons not to do something. Kinda like a safety net. I tend to be indirect in my approach when I want something, as apposed to dad who is direct.
