OMFG I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO MAKE A CROSS ON THE DARN THING.
 No really. Day of celebration right there because for days I could not figure out the thing. As in, sudden urges to throw it across the room. Then my cousin solves it in four minutes (  ) and I'm forced to realize that it is indeed possible to solve it. And after a week of constant "YES I GOT THREE IN A ROW" being my biggest celebration, that's a damn good "Aha!" moment.

I wish I had a rubix cube.
 People who can solve it under an unbelievable amount of time amaze me.

Oh gosh, I'm so awful at those! I've never completed one and probably never will. Patience is key in that type of thing, and I don't have very much of it.

Actually, the reason I got into the Rubik's cube again is because of that movie. And shoot, if it meant I could solve the thing, I'd hire a coach too.

One time when I was little I was able to actually do a rubik's cube. I thought it was some big deal, although it wasn't. It just made me come to realization that I wasted a lot of time and got frustrated and experienced a lot of emotion for one little square made of plastic.
I used to always just take the stickers off and rearrange

Haha, one clue or tip that I learned from that movie was that the color of the cube that is in the center on each side of the rubik's cube is the color of the rest of the cubes that go on that side. . .which, is quite pointless to me now. . . since that's probably one of the most obvious things. . .hm.

Don't feel bad. That center thing was such an epiphany for me, but when I told my friends they were all like "Aw, Kaycee, it's so funny how you just noticed the most obvious thing."

Rubik's has rampaged the school. There is not one class I have where there is not at least one Rubik's present in the room.
It all started when Humanities had the "essence of you" project which is basically like getting to know people... and this one kid named Ryan listed being able to solve a Rubik's in less than twenty seconds as one of his interesting facts about himself. Soon after... Rubik's Cubes EVERYWHERE. Nearly everyone can solve them here now - lots of them can do it in a couple minutes. And there's a kid who can do it behind his back. We also have a couple kids who can solve 2x2s, 4x4s, and 5x5s... |

Rubik's cubes are fun. I beat one once, but it took me quite awhile.

I HATE RUBIK'S CUBES! Well, only because I've always spent an incredible amount of time with barely any progress trying to solve it. But still. |

I can do it in about 50 seconds now. I learned how from watching videos on youtube lol. Once you learn how to do it it's really pretty simple. But I think that you have to be taught cuz its pretty much impossible to figure out how to do it by yourself. It's kinda funny/ironic that I now can do the rubik's cube but I still can never blow a bubble gum.

I swear if I have to "temporarily borrow" it from my cousin to finish it, then I will. Muahahaha.

Gosh, I've always wanted a Rubik's cube. But, I bet when I do get one, I'll never be able to finish it.
