Cubing FML

I was just doing some jflysim square 1, and my normal average is about 40 seconds.

<presses spacebar>

me: O_O

The scramble was a cubeshape and corner separation skip.

It should have been a sub 30, but I messed up on EP at about 18 seconds, and all I had was a U perm. At about 25 seconds, when I should have already finished, I ended up with a fully scrambled square 1.

Final time: 1:14.89 :fp

Scramble was:

/ (3, 3) /' (0, 2) /' (0, 6) /' (7, 6) /' (0, 6) / (6, 6) /' (6, 3) /' (10, 6) /' (8, 10) / (2, 8) / (6, 10) /' (8, 10) /' (0, 10) / (4, 10) / (7, 6) /' (9, 0) / (6, 6) /' (6, 3) / (3, 9) /

40.28 sq1 sim

So uhh... I average 8 minutes on 6x6, and 6 minutes on 7x7.

I suck at 6x6. FML.

How can this be? I don't own anything bigger than a 5x5. But you must really suck at 6x6 if the 7x7 is bigger and harder and you get the 6x6 2 minutes slower.
 
Today I brought my 2x2 to school for the first time. I leave for one minute to get a drink, and when I come back they're playing SOCCER with it. FML
 
Well I handed it to someone trustful, but someone took it from them and started playing apparently. And I couldn't really just take it from them, or flip out on them either, because I'm just barely 5 feet tall, and I'm a freshmen nerd in a high school full of ginormous jocks.
 
Ginormous jocks or not you're probably in classes with mostly other freshman. You may not be physically imposing but if your body language and attitude show confidence then people usually leave you alone. I very rarely see the self-confident kids getting picked on in highschool (I'm a sophomore in highschool) A few years ago I would've been one of the "jocks" who just put down the dweeby kids just to be cool. When a kid told me off I usually left them alone. I avoid being labeled as a "jock" now but just "athletic" and I don't bother kids anymore. I'm actually good friends with a kid that I constantly harassed in middle school.

Another thing I learned about cubing in class is that you should show everyone at once and not cube in the corner. If the teacher sees you do it and is impressed they'll say so and then kids won't mess with you too much because the teacher will side with you. I solve in 7/9 of my classes and only two of the teachers don't like me doing it or said I can't.(I still do cause one is band and I'm in the back, low brass, and the other is math and I just do it at the end of class) In those seven classes there's two kids who tend to be obnoxious but they're my friends and are just trying to annoy me so I let it go. To this day my one buddy still calls it a "square" or a "4-square" (my 4x4)
 
SERIOUSLY, READ THIS:

[4:49:03 PM] W.E.B. IV: Started cubing
[4:49:30 PM] W.E.B. IV: Rolled to sub-13 avg12
[4:49:46 PM] W.E.B. IV: was doing good, average kept dropping
[4:49:58 PM | Edited 4:50:06 PM] W.E.B. IV: new PB achieved, such a low 12
[4:50:16 PM] W.E.B. IV: kept improving, and got to 12.01 avg12
[4:50:34 PM] W.E.B. IV: didn't beat 12.01 on the very next solve, and I was thinking "wow am I gonna stop improving right here!? lol!"
[4:50:43 PM] W.E.B. IV: but then I went to an 11.xx avg12. O_O
[4:51:06 PM] W.E.B. IV: oh and and I started cubing after I got a video rendering in wmv.
[4:51:17 PM] W.E.B. IV: so I keep cubing
[4:51:52 PM] W.E.B. IV: 2 PLL skips with 1 solve between them, (PLL skip, NL solve, PLL skip), and then got 3-4 more PLL skips a short time after that.
[4:52:32 PM] W.E.B. IV: by then I had achieved an 11.55 avg12, new PB BY FAR before this session.
[4:52:35 PM] W.E.B. IV: INCREDIBLE.
[4:52:40 PM] W.E.B. IV: And a 10.8x avg5.
[4:53:04 PM] W.E.B. IV: At least, 3 9 second solves, and several 10s.
[4:53:27 PM] W.E.B. IV: I had decided to do an avg100, despite having ~40 solves to go when I go tthe 11.55 avg12.
[4:53:39 PM] W.E.B. IV: I don't do as good at times, but I keep going for 100.
[4:54:03 PM] W.E.B. IV: After 98 solves, I think the session average was 12.46.
[4:54:07 PM] W.E.B. IV: I scrambled for the 99 solve.
[4:54:21 PM] W.E.B. IV: The video I was rendering was 49%-50% done.
[4:54:39 PM] W.E.B. IV: The screen fades to black, and my laptop shuts down from overheating.
[4:54:47 PM] W.E.B. IV: F
[4:54:47 PM] W.E.B. IV: M
C
[4:54:48 PM] W.E.B. IV: L

And I have to restart rendering that video, the rendering that was only 1/2 done after 98 solves.



Oh but I still achieved great stuff. I love Thanksgiving Break. :)

=(
 
heres a fml done right:
gets a 3x3. get it lubed and does everything to it that will make it as fast as it can go. does the first solve and gets a sub-8 average on it. at this time your really proud of yourself. goes to waterfall and brings cube with. does a solve while admiering the view from the top of the waterfall. drops the cube andit just about goes over the waterfall but doesn't "CRAP!",you scream and run after the cube. the cube falls with you but in mid air, you start spinning and kick the cube without knowing it. the cube lands saftly on some gravel by the waterfall.you breck your arms and legs. you are being carried to the ambulance when you find the cube. you tell someone to grab it. someone does. when at the hospitol, the doctor tells you that you won't ever recover. you have to cube with your teeth the rest of your life. *5 years later* you are cubing with your teeth when all your teeth breck. FML!
(disclamer this isn't true.)

Ummm... WTH?

Did you even read what people have been posting in this thread? Do you even know how fml works?
 
I'm cubing in class one day (I luckily had a study hall so I could have my timer out.) As I'm finishing my last F2L pair, I look up and see the time is at 12ish seconds. That's pretty good for me, so I go and do the 7-move OLL and I get a PLL skip. The catch? My friend took the timer while I was doing OLL. FML & FMCL
 
A little while ago (today) i finished the F2L at around 18s (that's fast for me) had an OLL skip, easy U-perm, but i got nervous (i looked at the clock after i finish f2l) and i messed up :(
 
Today, this happened.
