--Reading technology magazines and science fiction novels

--Programming in Visual Basic (I've given up on calculator programming for the meantime) and thinking to myself how advanced I am :)
--Hoping for someone to pay me to design their website for them so I can buy an awesome new guitar

I play guitar too! (I'm a beginner, so you're probably a lot better than me. :) )

I'm a bassist that plays way too loudly so guitarists hate me. I'm also deaf.

Actually, I also play keyboard-been doing it for about 5 years. Like you previously said, a better guitar would be great. I'm stuck with a classical guitar now where half of the strings are nylon. :( What would be REALLY nice is an electric guitar, a good amp, and a distortion footpedal to give it a good sound. I am actually serious about learning guitar, not just doing it to look cool.

Yeah! Swim team! Summer swim team is a lot more fun than winter swimming. Right now is the few weeks of the year I don't swim, so I am a little bored. I went to a soccer camp for a week and now I just read all the time... and shoot a few hoops on occasion.

Adding my voice to yours....
WHAT?!?!?!??!

Just about all I have been doing this summer is sitting in front of a computer screen and writing calc code!!! (I am also studying German on the side.) If you are wondering why I have yet to release anything, I have this policy of only releasing something worth downloading.

Get a life. There is so much more in life than calc programming. I find it a shame that I just realized that. Go to a party, get drunk, get a girl, make friends, take up an instrument, start a band! God! I only use my calc for math now and playing games in summerschool.

What do you mean "get a life"? If we had lives, we wouldn't be real programmers. :)
Most of us probably sit in front of a computer ~60% of the time. Also, I think I'll pass up the "getting drunk" part.

Horray for not drinking! Also, I think the "getting a girl" part is kinda useless even at my age (17) because I believe the point of dating (if that's what you meant) is to find some one you might later marry. The way you put it, you're making girls an object, a possession. How low can you stoop. Also, I do have a life (mostly in church) and can play 3 instruments. Currently I'm learning (don't laugh) Mandy Moore's Only Hope from Walk to Remember. The piano part for that song is so cool. About computer programming though...it is going to be my carreer, and I'm going to spend time learning to do it better because I DON'T want a job at McDonald's flipping burgers. I rest my case.

Not drinking and not getting drunk are two different things. I drink and it is quite healthy really. I don't, however go out on the razzle, for that is just a waste of time and money. And, you can get that sort of 'high' just from being with good friends and having fun.

I also agree with the not committing to marriage at this age. Any relationships should be fun and not taken too seriously.

Hey, I'm a real programmer. Have just finished my first program for a 'parallel processor'. And I don't mean a processor that sits and talks to another one. All processes are done in parallel, not sequential form. Quite tricky to get all the timings right.

Oh, and incedently I do have a life. I am a member of two different sports clubs (treasurer for one, captain for t'other). Am currently building another antweight robot, and attend various ROCV (remotely operated combat vehicles - or something) events.
And, frequently go out places with my one friend. (Well I take him for walks each day....)

Programming isn't boring, if you have a good project to work on. But, I do program out of boredom, sometimes. I did that a lot in Biology.

Yeah- that's kind of what I meant... when I'm bored in Bio class, I fight it off by programming. And playing Penguins (82). I played that game SO much during Biology. I downloaded it a while ago again and started playing it, and I thought I was in Biology class again. I got to level five on it! :) :) :) That has to be one of the hardest games out there.
