Specifically, for my senior yearbook. It doesn't have to be original or anything, just something to put next to my picture. I'm kinda leaning towards "Smarter than a speeding bullet", but "I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, and smothered in secret sauce" is also appealing. Then there's "Understanding is a three-edged sword," just to mess with peoples' heads.

Come, people, ideas!

I've got two GREAT quotes for you. Check my .sig, won't you?

Speaking of which, aren't you homeschooled? Are you going to open your yearbook in twenty-years and say, "gee I remember my older brother. Sat next to me in Chem ..."

Well, that whole initial OmegaLust conversation would be good. Or just "Actively not wanting to lust." 8)

But, then, I always liked that "secret sauce" tagline of yours; you could do a lot worse. . .

You're going to have to come up with your own quote for your book, otherwise it won't be yours.
And don't think too hard about it, then it'll just become forced and intellectualized.
It'll come spontaneously, if it really means much to you.

Hmm... who said "I hate quotation. Tell me what YOU know."?

As for my quote being from someone else, I'm not going to quote myself. I want somethign that's good out of context. The whole Marx brothers "Art is art" routine, for example.

And my homeschool yearbook has a couple hundred people in it, thank you very much. [Razz]

So, wait, how do you fit several hundred people in your home to be homeschooled? I mean, isn't that against fire-code or something?

...unless, of course, you happen to start there..."

Benson, there are vast organizations of homeschoolers. There are nearly as many of us in TN as there are private school students.

No wonder there's so much inbreeding going on. [Smile]

So why do you all have a yearbook? Do you all get together? Describe the organizations - what do you ya'll do? Otherwise, why bother with a yearbook? And, hey, why not just form a private school for homeschoolers?

Oh, yeah. Nobody knows EVERYONE, but everyone knows someone a few. Oddly enough, the

*counts*

four homeschooling families from my church are NOT in the yearbook, so even with all the homeschoolers in the thing, lots more aren't.

Describe the organizations - what do you ya'll do?

Hmm... well, looking through last year's book...

Band, track, two baseball teams, four basketball teams, bunches of 4-H stuff, and at least ten seperate local support groups of decent size. One of which is apparently predominantly jewish. Never noticed that before. Odd, considering I helped build the frikin' book. [Smile]

I've also heard good (REALLY good) things about the mock trial team and the debate team.

Hmm... you know, now that I have a scanner, I suppose I could post a picture or two of myself... be back in a bit. [Smile]
