<p>Reading. Reading is > than sleeping, I do it to relax.</p>
<p>Yeah, I also wrote about reading books.</p>
<p>I wrote about walking around thinking about stuff. I'm worried it's too boring, but at least it's honest... if MIT thinks I'm too boring to go then they're probably right ^^</p>
<p>Aw, so many people wrote about reading! Well, I never thought I was being original...</p>
<p>I hope they get a laugh out of mine... make ben happy =D</p>
<p>Laughs are good. :D</p>
<p>i wrote abt readin too...........</p>
<p>I wrote about kayaking, glad I had a chance to talk about it some.</p>
<p>Originality, while it has its own merits, isn't necessarily the point.</p>
<p>I wrote about reading, and it worked for me.</p>
<p>I wrote about "the noble art of folding random objects into other random objects" (origami).</p>
<p>Really, you can fold pretty much anything as long as it's flat-ish.</p>
<p>I'd've guessed a lot of people would have written about music. Then again, that might be explained elsewhere on the application...</p>
<p>I wrote about science-fiction...</p>
<p>phoenixfire--what other stuff is commonly folded besides paper? i want to make stiffer swans <em>g</em></p>
<p>I don't know about commonly, but I've folded pieces of aluminum sheet metal with a hammer and a chisel to make the creases. It works ok for simple models that don't require too many folds.</p>
<p>For something a little less drastic you could try card stock you can find at Wal-Mart.</p>
<p>oo pi ^^ my friend knows someone at MIT who memorized 1000 already or something crazy like that o_O!</p>

you can fold aluminium sheets (the ones used to line wooden bathroom doors). you can get it in most hardware stores. I made a working model of an airplane once and it looked great, but the size was like 10 times that of the cardboard model. I didn't need hammer/chisel as the sheet was not too stiff. I even used a pair of normal iron scissors to cut and trim it. you should try it sometimes, its cool.</p>
<p>I wrote about my passion for experimentation. I love to indulge my curiosity :). I describe how my experimentation and disassembly of various gadgets has led to my thirteen inventions. I conclude on a sort of lame note, though. </p>
<p>"The pleasure of this experimentation extends into my activities and relationships, so that testing a new prototype with friends is an act wedded to my invention. In sharing my discoveries with others, I not only gain the satisfaction of exciting others with my innovations, but I also gain new perspectives into my work."</p>
<p>BTW,</p>
<p>Olo: what "social escapades" where you referring to ;).</p>
<p>i wrote about rollercoasters and basically metaphorically expressed how its thrilling and fun, just like life.</p>
<p>zking: You know, the normal stuff... collecting 15 friends and performing a scene from a dance musical at a grocery store... taping over 10 hours of conversations with people on the other end of the drive-through box late at night... spray-painting 1000 pennies blue and leaving them in the little "take-a-penny/give-a-penny" things at gas stations.</p>
<p>Life can be very, very, entertaining. And it should be.</p>
