    local paper, local news, interviewed. all together i'd say i've appeared in public braudcasts and publications 7 times, i'm no more popular

    Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.

    Thanks to Starry Relm and Sphere for the Sig and Avatar (in their respecive order)

    In the current town I'm living in, once, for winning in wrestling.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    The TAG program I was in during the fourth grade put on a play, something titled along the lines of "The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf." It was to learn a bit about court and to have some fun, too. I played, I think, the cousin of the Big Bad Wolf, and a photo of me seated on the stand was on the front page.

    It was embarassing as hell, as you can imagine.

    I think my name has been mentioned a few times for generic reasons (mostly for doing well in school and stuff). My photo will probably be in it this fall for being National Merit Semifinalist.

    I get in for All-Region, 4.0 Honor Roll, and winning math competitions.

    Nothing so interesting as anything interesting.

    I was in the local paper a few times when I was a kid, but that's it. I would've been in it in high school for a prank/crime, but I was busy that day so only my friends are in it. Heh.

    Yeah. I don't appreciate it, because of the effects it has on my parents.

    I've been in a few times for academic reasons--high school salutatorian; National Merit Scholar; AP Scholar with Distinction. I even was on the front page when I scored 1600 on the SAT. If I've done anything else newspaper-worthy, I certainly can't think of it at the moment.

    I was in the Shanghai Daily for being a model linguist... :skull4:
    Oh, and I was also in That's Shanghai! for being a 'talented, young. gorgeous and hoplessly romantic' art and clothes designer.
    That's about it.... (I suck!)

    Im sorry, but how can you say 'i suck'. You made it into the paper for being good at certain things! I mean, come on, there's being self-deprecating and then there is being just plain silly.

    I don't think i've ever been in the paper for anything, and surprisingly I'm not too worried about it

    No, no, no I have a good argument here!
    EVERYONE ELSE gets into the newpaper for being incredibly intelligent!
    As I have not achieved any of this sort of thing... I obviously have no brainpower!
    But I DO have awesome finger power! I got in the news for making 1,000 paper cranes for my friend single-handedly.

    I was in the local paper last week or the week before when my maths class had our pictures taken for doing this maths thing.
    Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

    well, no you dont have a good argument. Caspian got into the paper for being in a police report, and Rase got in for Wrestling, not for being, as you put it, incredibly intelligent.
    Be proud of what you have achieved! 1'000 paper cranes is no mean feat. Besides, if everyone else is getting in the paper for being really intelligent, then getting mentioned for something else is much more interesting!

    Caspian was intelligent because they didn't find him out!
    HAH. I am the BEST at arguing.
