The first time I saw that word, I was reminded of "flatulations." But it really means like, flogging and stuff, so it really doesn't have anything, MEANING-WISE, to do with flags. I have things to do with flags. For one, I have to make one for robotics. Basically on my own, because the sophomores are too "busy" to do anything (let's follow up with an enlightening chat between me and Evelyn:
and also you're a freshman. so you have a helluva more time than us.
yes.
See what I mean? Oh crap, why is the font smaller?
Back to normal. Well, not the font.
Ahhh, it was Times.
Yeah, so now I have to kind of finalize the flag, draw it, and sew it. Thank goodness I've got Winter Break to do it. Except Winter Break also means 4 hours of piano per day, but whatever. I was drawing a kind of fast template... it looked really cheesy. I mean, a flaming edge, with a gear in the middle, and CHS ROBOTICS on one side and 2417 on the other. Can we say Cheez-whiz? Lol, I also drew a flaming pretzel, complete with faux pearl salt bits. That one looked a little bit better. Then my dad (who I now suspect of passing down my creative genes) said that the gear looked horrible and advised me to tilt it and draw flaming wings from the sides. Which is perfect, since our theme was supposed to be fire and firebirds, and now we have wings :DDD. It's kind of like this: http://www.slingshot.co.uk/land/SS_portfolio/OW-wheel.jpg, 'cept with a gear. And fire. Whoah, I am really liking those wings.
I was also thinking of possible fonts for the words, but all my analog clock number/words looked kind of tiki after a while. And tiki is soooo 2006. Also, how do I draw an effing tilted sideways gear? Oh crap, now we have to use either silk screening or spray paint, and while I totally hate spray paint's messiness, silk screening is kind of foreign and I don't want to mess up augh this makes everything more complicated.
