  with a new mosquito bite in my hand and sweat literally dripping down my face.  i can now say:  i have the battle plan!  man.  i'm so sorry i took so long out there.  you see.
 i had to dig through a lot of stuff before i found what i was looking for.  i didn't know they'd kept all of that stuff down there.  sentimental as schizz:  - first paper where jane wrote down her email add for me - ESL papers from the 3rd grade!
 - wedding invitations ( one that i didn't go to.  bc of 8th grade finals of all things!  >  -
spartan village memorabilia of all kinds - ms.  forman writings ( of my better age/ style)  -
french notes copied from jane * sniffles*  ( i wanted to study them so bad.  i wish i never quit)  -
artwork from the brilliance that was the 6th grade - the farewell book i got when i left for houston in 7th grade ( lulu!  man.  i've missed you guys)  -
us history abc book ( yue,  a beautiful book- waxler.  remember the all night cram to make it and the printer that ran out of ink so half the thing was pink and purple.  )
 - my fibonacci nautilus ( i was obsessed w/  those after 6th grade)  - the beginnings of an autobiography writtien by my dear old professor hocking (
hey,  feng!  stop it!  haha do you remember spring and shwetank and those jeopardy rounds we'd have?  and how i'd always choose mathematicians as my category and win?  hehe we were the "
special group"  - various beginnings of books ( ahem!  that i've tried to write but stopped - the french email from jane on july 19,
 2001 - countless other schizzy stuff that i didn't even know i had * tears*  my mom is so psycho ( yes jane that's how you spell it!  haha)
 she wanted to take a picture of my teeth for " memories"  speaking of memories.  here is our battle plan for the punic wars in age of empires [ not a word has been changed]  (
me and jane got bored during winter break of 7th grade)  food= resources Battle Plan:  1)  pay Rome and Syracuse 25%  tribute on everything (
to make them allies)  -  stone and wood 2)  get on cliff ( WALLS)  to:
 clear wood for bulding mine gold hunt elephant,  lion,  and deer build farmd ( try to domesticate deer and other animals)  build separate city on cliff 3)  build wall around entire city except area for repairs and dock 4)
 build protection for town center !  ( walls,  watchtower)  5)  research everything (
armor,  etc.  6)  try to advance to Iron Age ( with food and gold)  7)
 build temple for priest( s)  8)  make more people ( especially soldiers)  9)
 make more warships,  siege weapons,  etc.  10)  clear as much wood as we can 11)  mine everywhere 12)
 build a lot of houses 13)  upgrade all soldiers ( armor!  ARMOR!  )  14)
 train scouts,  chariots,  etc.  15)  fish everywhere 16)  kill Romans at river (
fishing purposes)  17)  explore everywhere,  reach all borders on land/ sea 18)  soldiers and villagers equal 19)
 cluster everyone for permanent jobs 20)  get artifacts and KILL ROMANS !  STAY ALIVE!  GOAL:  kill in 10 hours ( in addition to what we already did)
 Hours:  Tasks:  1 * cluster people for permanent jobs,  make more people and kill food and build city in groups 2 begin to clear cliff ( sight 3 finish cliff,
 finish wall and buildings 4 build warships and expand sea territory,  kill Toman heavy transports,  advance if possible,  make our own 5 expand fishing territory by killing Romans 6 try to advance to Iron Age,  make more poeple/ soldiers to assign jobs in clusters (
as many as possible)  7 build maze with wall ( preferably upgraded)  8 research everything,  upgrade everything,  build/
make everything (  WATCH THE FOOD!  )  9 with the buildings we have built,  do everything they allow,  paying attention to food (
including making more priests to heal injured people)  10 plan all out attack on Rome and Syracuse with heavy transports,  warships,  siege weapons,  soldiers,  etc.
 repeat hours 1- 9 constantly if possible with food allowances ( outwit Romans and Syracues with what they have -  kill themselves)  man.  we stuck to the schedule for like two hours.
 but by then we had success w/  the rest of the stuff and won the game!  i think we were both kinda psycho then.  cuz this was like a planned daily thing.  jane would jog over to my apt.  everyday and play it (
the game was on my comp)  and oh.  the memories ooo!  jane found our stalking " map of the neighborhood"  ^
