I'm Tim. This is my web page.
I want to say hello to my friends back in the States, especially Jack, Drew, Bruce, and Alex. Eat cabbage and weeds you dweebs!
Since I want this to be one of those Web pages with a bunch of usless Crud on it, one of the ones that you look at and wonder "What's wrong with this guy?," so I'm going to try and do that without sounding like too big of a weirdo.
See you Later! Eat lots of dog chow! It's good for you!
Sometimes it is hard for a ten-year-old to think of something to have as a treat. For some, anyway. But I've found that eating your dessert can be delicious and hilarious(If you have a serious mental problem). I take two BN(Two plain cookies in the shape of a face and filled with vanilla cream) and pretend that they are Gladiators in the ancient dessertland. These two poor guys, Bill and Ben, then proceed to hack each other to death with toothpicks. When one of them finally falls I lunge and take a chunk out of him. The loser dies. So does the winner.
My obsessive love of drawing dragons has led to the creation of this beautiful creation. It is based on the cover of the fourth Harry Potter book, but I assure you it is entirely free-hand drawn.
Tim's been into his Legos again. I told him that if he insisted on telling me every little detail about the equipment that he built, he would have to tell you, too. His latest creations were these airfield vehicles.

Jet Plane
This is my XF-13 TigerHawk. Designed for the Royal air force by me only, this is one of my more
capable combat aircraft.
Artillary battery and trailer
This is the first prototype M-016 Cougar Magardi. It is a 10- foot crew hatch, equipped with a turret that holds a deadly barrel. The shells it fires are capable of reaching ten miles without the clip(read below.).
The next will have a clip on barrel addition which will enable the shells to reach some 17-18 miles.
The Cougar Magardi returns. Here's the clip on barrel addition I was going on about. The treads are also lower down in the vehicle so that the thing can actually get some darned traction!

The Spring has come, emerged finally from veil of snow,
true and pure it does exit from the web of dusty world,
beauty of the earth, in wildflower, and in spring tree,
overpowering winter in its final death throes that are the
last storms of earth before its struggling end.
Through splendor, and its magnificent twinkling of hope,
this new season does hypnotize us so in its show
that unsheathes the many pleasures which are not to be stopped, of children playing, and the
butterfly capering in the sun, skipping on a bed of flowers, and the shouts of glee and joy
given from young children as they while away the blue-skied days.
From that, earth shows to us its beauty, which we accept gratefully, knowing that we live now
in this brand new day of complete and undisturbed contentment.
[Tim hasn't written anything about his drawning of the Polish Horntail dragon, but I thought I'd show it off anyway. -Dad]
This is a small example of my recent craze of drawing dragons. This is the most dominant of my drawings, the Russian Spineridge. It is also the one that I had the most fun drawing, and I particularly liked the colors it has. I drew it on a sudden thought that dragons are the most interesting mythical creature I could think of, and I was in the mood to draw at that time. I was also inspired by the fourth Harry Potter book, the Goblet of Fire, which features Harry heroically fighting off a fearsome dragon. I have drawn three dragons in this sudden spurt of..... Potter craze which I have been subject to for about nine months.
I got into a program on TV a while ago in which people form teams, build a robot, then go to a studio in London to rip each other's robots to little bitty peices. I think this is just a brilliant thing to do. As I was watching the first-ever episode on the second season, I got the idea to build my own robots out of K'nex and have them rip each other into little bitty peices. In this program, (which is called Robot Wars), there is a robot which has won the championships three times in a row, and also happens to be my personal favourite. It has a name which is rather ..... disturbing.
RAZER. It is like a huge, overgrown chrome door wedge, with titanium alloy armour and a huge, crescent-shaped claw that has a base about 1 foot thick, and starts at the top of the door-wedge and can reach three inches in front of it. There is also a "butchery board" on the bottom which slides out so that it reaches in front of Razer, under the claw. It is called a butchery board because other robots slide onto it and get, well.. butchered. I designed one of the robots in the pictures below on Razer. I wonder which one! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! sorry.
We have a new football coach. His name is Martin Clewlow. He's a really good footballer and he taught us all some cool skills, like how to do never-ending keep-me-ups. That's when you bounce the ball up and down on your foot without letting it touch the ground, just going on and on and on. He also taught us how to take shots correctly from long distances, where you have to hit the ball with your laces, not your toes. Mr. Clewlow has only been our coach for a couple of weeks. We think we're going to play Digby C of E school in a couple of weeks' time. That should be good because last year we eliminated them, 13-1.
[A note from dad: That's a picture of last year's footie team, with Mr. Dennis as coach.]
I'm team captain in football club now because I'm the lead player so far. Mr. Dennis came by and said that we should play football as much as possible on the playground so that we can see who should be team captain. There's two captains, actually, Michael and I. What it means is that in matches or practice games, the team captains will take the throw-ins, penalties and free kicks. Team captains also play forwards in the games all the time, unless they're on goal, which is very rare, because they usually put the team captain up front.
In RE (Religious Education) with Mrs. Reeve, she let us pick any topic we wanted and debate about it, and we decided to pick the fuel crisis. We had two groups, one for the protesters, and one against them, and Mrs. Reeve picked one person from each group to be the leader and then the leader picked a person from his group to help with the debate. I was the leader in the against group and Sophie was the second. The for group put their reasons forward, and we just jumped all over them -- it went like that from side to side for the whole forty-five minutes. It was really fun, we just got to argue.
I've been back at school since Tuesday. It's actually quite a bit of fun because it's fun to see my friends at school that I don't see normally. The only bad thing, I think, is that since we're starting again the hard thing is for the kids who were here last year, we're doing exactly the same things again for the beginning, maths and stuff.
I'm enjoying play time as usual because obviously of football, which is my favorite thing to do at school besides math. We're doing the Victorians for history -- we haven't done that before, last time we did Greeks and Romans.
What I Did Last Summer That I Didn't Like Very Much: I broke my arm! It wasn't really like nasty pain -- I just fell over, landed on my arm, and didn't feel anything for about a minute and a half. Then it started at the elbow, like an aching numbness, and moved up and down my arm. Once we got to the hospital I couldn't feel much. When I saw the bone in the x-rays I was kinda freaked out. Once they let me out of the hospital, it was like being let out of jail, I just felt so good to be back at home, because I'd been at hospital for three days. When I got my cast off, it was like being reborn again because I could do everything that I used to do. And now -- good as new, just like it used to be.
(School starts 5 September)
Well, I'm kinda excited about going back to school, because when I get there, I'll be able to have the maths and stuff again that I like doing. But school as all children know is boring. I'm going to be year 6. After year 6 I leave this school and go to a new secondary school. I'm hoping to go to St. George's because it's small but still nice and looks like it has pretty nice facilities where I can learn about what I want to learn.
I'm going to like playing football this year because I'll probably be one of the best in school. I've picked up a lot of skill from people like Ben and Mark from practice this summer and playing at school last year. I can do a croife - it's named after a famous footballer; if you're running up the field, it can be used as a pass. I've learned how to volley a ball and make an actual goal. I can take very good shots now; I used to not be able to do that. I know how to make overhead kicks and shots. We're going to have a new football coach, so we'll be able to play games again - last year, our coach got a job, so we couldn't.
What I Did All Summer That I Liked A Lot: I played outside every day. I just like it when I can run around all day, playing football, biking, golfing. I like the camp because it's small and you can find your way easily.
