This week has been blahhhhhhh. That timeline for chem was the most worthless assignment ever. Now, ive got two lab reports due on friday!! Wooo-peeee. Felt really sick on tuesday night, went to bed at 8:00 got up at 7. best sleep ive ever had. That night i had driving school with graham and cbass. Our instructor Walter maybe the single coolest guy in the world. He drives with pretty much everyone at our school and hes having major heart surgery on friday, and every lesson time available before and after that is filled.

BUT

If, as walter put it, he doesnt die, after 4 sessions of 2.5 hours each. (Apparently, we cut a good deal cause some ppl have like 6 weeks between lessons.)I get my license on October 10th. Which actually means never. seeing as how i have to "talk about it" with my parents. This means a giant lecture about how i'll have to start paying for my insurance that they'll keep putting off. So i guess il rephrase that to say, Ill will have the joy of thinking that ill have my license on that monday but not really getting it.

Had an orthodontist appoinment today after a crazy set of conversations at pizza hut. Apparently i have "power chains" between "the left and right six" this, translated into english means, MY TEETH HURT LIKE A BITCH.

ok time to stop whining. sry all. (dedicated readers hah)

Came home from that. Found out that Melissa Collin's house caught fire. Thats gotta suck. Come home, hey! my house is on fire! Theyre all ok, but the house doesnt look good.

good job if u made it down here

Havent updated in a while. (3 days) uhhhh
the only thing i seem to talk about is band practice or homework. and thats pretty much all i can talk about, cause thats all that seems to be happening. haha
ummm
lets change it up. went to ariel's yesterday for a random change in pace. Pretty fun. Except that the only clock in his house was an hour off, and my mom doesnt like me late. sigh. worked for three hours today, bricks again. my life is just that EXCITING. before that i was at ben's. My amp decided not to work and instead made a noise kinda like this:
NYYYAHHHHHHHHHHHH, at which point it started smoking, quickly resulting in me turning it off as to prevent an explosion.

Just got back from Baja Fresh. Amazingly good food. Salsa was just like real mexican salsa. which is good. Although i cant say there is a similar starbucks-like amibience. They dont do that in Mehico.

i gotta throw a slideshow together for church.
later

I didnt think you could make a pizza called Spinach, Mushroom, and Onions. The whole point of pizza is thats its supposed to be GOOOD, partially because of its several pounds of grease. However, this has neither good tastingness nor pounds of grease, therefore, it aint pizza.

Doing Something about the confederate states of america for my semester history paper, Chincheck wouldnt let me do the Barbary Pirates.

We are playing in the the Hurricane Katrina Battle of the Bands Relief Concert (HKBOTBRC for short)with one original song, if we have a second itll be a cover, were saving our other original song for the JV show.
Not goin on the SCA retreat

Annnnnyway
I gots to do some homework.
im out

Yo. yeah. didnt have band practice this weekend cause we didnt have a microphone. Tried to record yesterday, but i got the wrong cord for the mic we found. We now have 2 songs for the JV show. However, Eric Brooks just asked us to play in a Hurricane Relief concer, so idk what were gonna do for that, seeing how its like 2 weeks away. Spent yesterday afternoon discussing what things would win in a fight against each other. Ex: Who would win in a fight between a cieling tile and france?

Math quiz went well, history not so.
School is ......... garrrrr
Arghh, i have to go mow my lawn and then calc hw. funnnnesss. i guess it aint so bad
Orchestra starts the 8th of october.

when is homecoming?
why do i care?

Had a pretty good weekend, got two free pizzas at dominoes
answer this:
who would win in a fight:
a lion or a giraffe

Gahhhd. As if my parents could micromanage my life even more. Now theyve bought this machine that gives you a certain amount of hours per week to use on the TV or the computer. They give everyone a card with a barcode on it that clocks the time.

Buuuuut

By scanning my card with my scanner, I imported it as a picture file, rearranged the bars, printed it out, and luckly found the one that gives me more hours. woo-hoo!

Completely bombed the History essay. I just could not think. Owell, i can make it up.

annnyway
Band Practice this weekend
Got my Trivium shirt
Harry Potter Four Trailer is out
Tomorrow is Friday

Yeah, that would be me. Except the deflation is more profound when someone pulls out my amp cord to my guitar for that is the cork to my soul.

My cousin, who is a year older than I am, has a hole in his lung. As it was explained to me, this sometimes happens when you grow tall extremely fast. Obviously, this will never happen to me. Unfortunately, his surgery to correct the hole did not work. His lung collapsed again, and the doctors dont know why. Though I dont know him extremely well, we are all hoping that the cause can be found, and his recover be quick. I ask for ur prayers. If you dont pray, u can still hope.

Rule, Britannia, Britannia rule the waves,
Britons never will be slaves!

The Nations (not so blest as thee)
Must in their turns to Tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.

yeah...

Watup.

Just got back from band practice, which was awesome. We tried to record, but we couldnt find a microphone.

blargggg

Driving school starts at the end of september, after that, I get my license. woo-hoo! except my dad isnt too sure he wants me to have my license yet. sigh.

Hung out with cbass yesterday, played pingpong for like 2 hours and then went to the horribly lame dance. Yet another waste of 5 dollars. There werent any juniors there, and i was only there for an hour. The music was good, but i wouldnt have danced anyway even if there were more ppl there. Major reason for going was food, but there wasnt any of that either.

sigh

Ive been doing hw on and off now for 12 hours. Granted some of it isnt due until monday, but if i dont do it now, i have no idea when i could do it.

No science classes, just study halls instead. Sigh.
Played some guitar with ben today, looks like we have at least one good song lined up for the JV show. Lyrics will shortly be accompanying the riff as well. Xavier, after 3 months of not drumming, is doing awesome. However, we will obviously never be a "school band" and will never accept the dishonor of playing at school assemblies.

Gosh Darn
TGIF--tommorrow
Im fucked on the Little Chinese Seamstress essay tomorrow, so ima go study notes, cause i dont have the book to read.

Graham just informed me that the driving instructor for FC had to get surgery. I hope it wasnt from an F student. So my license will have to wait a little. Meh

Im out

School did not turn out so good today. I'm sure that I really shouldn't complain. There are perfectly good reasons to complain, like when you have cancer or a Hurricane killed ur house.

- Two sciences in a row, made worse by the fact that the science wing is closed
- Dean-Pratt again for english

So i guess its not that bad. At least we dont have ms Sinha around this year. Not to mention we got to watch the extremely classy science saftey movie (twice!) Ill ruin the punch line for you: Bruno is try to tell the lieutenant that they're at the wrong school. Hah, now ull have to sit through the movie without a promise of a punchline. But i am seriously intimidated by junior year. And the homework load is gonna hit like a sack of tumorous legumes.

JV SHOW------- FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER.
BE READY:

Was Ninja Slap repetitive today or wat.

If you hadnt noticed, there has been a giant disaster in New Orleans.
Here are some links if you want to help:

Bungie "Fight the Flood" T-shirt

Red Cross

And that whole looting vs. finding controversy. I think its a blatant overreaction. Its almost worse than being a racist to just look through pictures to try to find a hint of so-called "racism." Maybe the photographer had context by which he was captioning the pictures. If you have no idea what Im talking about Go Here.

School is coming. duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh da daaaaaaaaaaaaa. **jaws theme**
Im so screwed with the history crap. Ive read like two chapters and not taken any notes. Which is exactly why im staying up to update.

Procratinators Unite.......Tomorrow

Ugh, I am not having luck with old ladies today. (not that i do normally)

1. I hold door for old lady, she comments "I was waiting to see whether you were going to do that or not."

2. I examine a shirt in a rack at Hecht's, pick it up, turn it over to see the picture, and then proceed to put it back exactly as it was. I go around the counter and look but dont touch any of the shirts on the other side. Lady says "You know there are other shirts over there (points across aisle)" I say "yep." the lady waits a minute or so and then says "Well you cant keep coming over here and messing up the displays."
Needless to say, I didnt purchase anything at her register. Haha. lol. Yes Im amazing at sticking it to the man.

Went out driving in the stick shift car today. Only conked out a couple (3) times. I still cant believe that Im the only one learning stick around here. If you can disprove that, I dare you to comment, and fight the sharp blade that is my wit. yeah. wow. automatic is soooo much easier, its like the difference between like an oven and a microwave. Wow i need to go to analogy school. wow im done.

im out

Yeah, I cut this out of a box of beef while I was at camp in minnesota. Completely blows my mind. Annnyway, went to the football game yesterday (waste of time) we won 31-0. Cheerleaders did nothing as usual, but apparently they have a guy on the team now, and hes gonna be doing stunts. After that, went to Ballston to see Transporter 2. Unlike graham, I had perfect timing, walked in as soon as it said "Transporter 2." Also unlike graham, I think it was a good movie. Some of the stunts were ridiculous, but most of them were conceivable.

Have to go school shopping today. Woo-hoo. The dog just puked... and now I have no more to say.

later

DAMMIT. my parents are yelling at me for no reason again. Maybe if they answered their fucking cell phones, or even had them around I could maybe reach them. And the fact that they think that I'm gonna stay put until they answer is ridiculous. Mebe if they learned how to check their voicemail? OR MAYBE they could get me a cell phone of my own so that they could reach me.

ARGHHHH

Helped out with Ambassadors today, found out about the orientation which was at 11 at 10:50. Damn fastest shower ive ever taken. Probably the fastest shower worn out too, seeing as I ran to school.

School.....shudder
just being in the building was depressing in a way.

Downloaded Killswitch Engage, awesome band.
Haha, i also got some Lil John.--I'm winnin the bet so far. Hah. And again, not more than 2 broken bones at a time.

Im out
guitar time--i really should get a panhandling license. easy money
