Snow stuff

In Seattle, it rarely snows. But the November of 2006 came with a surprise: You guessed it, snow! Since I don't get snow very often, snow is one of my favorite things! Even though I don't have a hill in my backyard, I still ride my sled. I've tried sledding in many ways: backwards, forwards, even standing on the sled in snowboarder stance. Like I said, I LOVE SNOW!!!

school stuff

At my school, I have art, science, technology, P.E., social studies, language arts, math, music, spanish and general studies. In art I am currently making a wooden bird. In science, I have finished a waterbottle trireme, a grapnel and an Archimedes screw.

In technology I am currently working on a Lego Robotics project. In P.E., I am playing basketball. In social studies, I am doing a weird game-ish thing-ish. In language arts, I am cracking codes. In math, I am working on the REVENGE packet. In music, I am LA-DE-DA-DAAAAAAAing. In spanish, I am (DUH) studying spanish. In general studies, I am stdying people's emotions.

Who I Am and What I Like

My name is Matthew. I live in the Seattle Area. Some of my favorite things are my Chicken (Stretch), books, movies, Lego bricks, Lego Star Wars II(a CPU game), Cops + Robbers(a physical game), comics, Katsu(a food), singing, dragons, video filming, and pizza.

One of my favorite book series is the Eragon series. The movie comes out on 12/15/06. I'm so excited! The thing I like about Lego bricks is that you can build (almost) anything with them. I am notorius for taking Lego sets apart and rebuilding them into something else constantly. I keep on coming up with new ideas!

Sometimes I like to play on an electric keyboard. I am always (meaning when I play on the pianha) figuring out how to play the tunes I like. I like to sing, too. My two favorite songs are (in order that I like them) "Erie Canal" and "Mary Don't You Weep." Both are by Bruce Springsteen. Two of the kinds of singing I like are Sea Shanties and Call Singing. My favorite movies are Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, HELP!, and The Incredibles.

I like Cops + Robbers because it is an active game where you have to avoid the cops if you're a robber and catch the robbers if you're a cop. The game requires speed, skill, courage ande agility. I love the rush of adrenaline I feel when the game starts. Actually, I love it all. Fooling the cops when I'm a robber, and chasing the robbers when I'm a cop.
