stewwie

So I just got home. Took the AP Calculus test today. All in all, I think I did alright. It seemed alot easier than the tests we had been taking in class. Could it be because of all my studying last night? I don't know, I don't really care either. Oh man, there was this slope field though, it was SOOOO HARD! I dunno, I think I got it right though, cuz everyone else said that theirs looked strange too. All I really want is a 3. That way I'll get credit for Calc I at Clemson. That'd be deep, even though it's probably all for nothing since I'll have to take Engineering Calculus or something probably. Oh well, it'll still make the class easier because I'm guessing engineering calculus will be just like a more in-depth version of my physics class, but with slightly more calculus. I can't imagine how the people in past years took AP physics without taking calculus of some kind, you NEED to know calculus to do physics, unless it's serious baby stuff. The exam exhausted me though, I'll be honest.

When I got out of the test, I went to go see Kim by her locker and she like completely ignored me. What the fuck. I guess that I won't go visit her during passing periods anymore. I can take a fucking hint. That really pissed me off. Then she comes to see me and is all like "why did you ditch me?" Wtf? I ditched you? Funny, that's not how I remember it. Oh well.

So last night I went to the Orchesis show with Kim and others. The show was great, but I had a panic attack during the show, that wasn't cool.

I thought they were gone, I hadn't had one in like 2 years. I don't know what it's from. I told Kim that it was from everything that's going on right now. Keep in mind, I wasn't lying to her, but I also wasn't completely truthful. I don't know what it is to tell the honest truth. It could be any number of things. It could be all the AP drama that's going on right now, it could be everything with my mom and hows she always on my ass about something, it could be with Kim how I think our breaking up is inevitable.

Now more on the breaking up thing, it's not like I want to. However, I simply don't see the practicality of seeing someone across the United States of America. I like Kim, I really do, but if I'd only see her like three times a year, I just don't see how it could work.

I did the long-distance thing once with Kala. It didn't really work. Granted that it was only for about two months, seeing her once every two or three weeks wasn't cutting it. Shes a great girl and not to take anything away from her, but it's hard just talking on the phone. The phone is great, but there are limits. There's still nothing like seeing the other person in the flesh and just holding their hand or something. And I'll say it, it's hard going tat long without seeing someone in other ways too (if you catch my drift here).

I really don't know what to do, I really don't know what I want. Everythings just a big mess right now and I don't like it one bit.

So I just got home. Took the AP Calculus test today. All in all, I think I did alright. It seemed alot easier than the tests we had been taking in class. Could it be because of all my studying last night? I don't know, I don't really care either. Oh man, there was this slope field though, it was SOOOO HARD!

I can take a fucking hint. That really pissed me off. Then she comes to see me and is all like "why did you ditch me?" Wtf? I ditched you? Funny, that's not how I remember it. Oh well.

I guess that's all for now.

So, I'll start this entry by the statement that I am cutting this off at 8:00. It is 7:41 now. That leaves me 19 min.

I'm really writing in here now because I'm attempting to avoid studying for calculus. I have that damn test tomorrow. Yeah, it sucks, and yes, I'm shitting my pants about it because I would really love to get credit for it at Clemson. Engineering requires much math, so it'd be great if I could nip some of my required hours in the bud.

I have decided on Clemson. Yes, that's right folks, South Cackalacky. Can't beat that. It should be fun, I need to go for orientation before too long. I want to say that I'm going sometime in May or June maybe. Not too sure, thinking June though.

So I have found that Kim and I have a very similar sense of humor. By similar I mean that we both get extreme pleasure out of practical jokes. By practical jokes, I mean putting random shit on friends' lawns.

More on lawns, I have recently been the victim of two pranks. First, there were 5 of those horse things in my yard with the little lights, there was also a GIANT orange road construction sign. I loved this, thought it was hillarious. It was Cokins of course, he had the company of Smitto, Baron, and Joe Fornaris with him. They caught my in Cokins' driveway putting stuff in his backyard. We decided to give Illy a visit and put all the shit on his lawn. We added doughnuts. We don't think he was too happy, but then again, we're not too concerned with his happiness when we decide to prank him. For the second prank, I received a plethora of ridable vehicles in my yard for the first annual "Cuartos Parade" I thought this was great. The culprits were none other than Monahan and Cokins. They made a sign and everything. They even put one in front of Blockbuster when I was at work. Yeah, that part was original I'll give them that. The not so original part was that I had originally played the prank on Monahan the night before. Unoriginal bitches. Too bad I have to come up with the pranks (the hardest part) Kim, Lauren, Sara, Jenn, and Pawel and I had decided to go through Broadview and get stuff. We put it all on Monahan's front walkway as it was a parade. We even got dolls to put in the cars and stuff. It was great. We even got a black santa - I think he was black anyway, I think the original owners tried painting ihim or burning him or something.

Of course this was all over the long weekend we had. This weekend was excellent. The only thing that made it better was the fact that I took off Tuesday because I guess that the 5 days wasn't enough, I deserved the 6th.

The original plan was to go with Sara on the Tuesday I took off and get Kim's present. This didn't happen, I was too lazy. We did go the next day though. That night we all went to Dick's Last Resort. It was hillarious. We all got hats. Mine said "Where's all the hot bitches at?" Kim's said "All I want for my birthday is a new set of tits". I think Kim's is funny because if it's one thing she DOESN'T need, it's a new set of tits. I call it as I see it.

Jenn, you'd be interested to know that theres an Asian man downstairs right now trying to sell my mom insurance.

I nearly forgot, about the whole unwanted extras thing. I have been informed that I have a new crush. This is usually flattering, however, this time, not so much. My admirer is another man. He works with me, his name is Erik. He really freaked me out last night by prank calling me and asking for my hours. Fuck you Erik, I get 10 hours a week, you're not getting a second of my time. I did get some consolation later that night though when Kim picked me up and I talked to Ali about it. Apparently Erik has a crush on him too. At least I'm not alone. Ali kinda told Erik off. If he ever crosses a line, he's getting a foot in his ass. Ali told him off. It sounded funny, but serious at the same time.

Well, I'm ending this, I have AP to study for. Boo AP!

So theres been a few good things and a few bad things that have happened over the last few days and stuff. I'll try to go in chronological order, but I make no promises.

So Monahan, Kelly and me bageled the Cokins house. That was great. He and his dad thought it was a good prank. Those things might be in his trees for quite awhile. Baron, Smitto and him now want to try to get me. Yeah, whatever, you can't get the master. I have tricks up my sleeve and shit like that. Yall know.

One weekend Kim and me just weren't clicking. I don't know what it was really, but it seemed like we did nothing but fight. Of course, I blame myself because we were together so much and if I'm with someone nonstop like that then I think we just start to get on eachother's nerves. Or just mine, whatever the case may be.

Lets see, after that little escapade there was when I made my decision on college - I'm officially going to Clemson. For those that aren't enlightened Clemson is in South Carolina. There are headaches however, namely with their online login and registration system and all that. It's so frusterating, I don't think that it's even human error, because I know that my info that I'm putting in and everything is what it's supposed to be. They need to get their shit straight, end of story.

Random like 11 year olds are iming me from far away lands. I'm supposedly Sean now, yeah, that's right, I'm Sean. I did start talking to one of their friends or something, shes nice. I forget her name at the moment, but this is nothing new, I'd forget my own name if it wasn't on ids and stuff.

On Easter Sunday, Monahan's mom died. It's a shame, but it was coming. The funeral service and wake and everything were pretty sad. At the service I never realized that she was so accomplished. Matts dealing with it well though, or so it seems. I met his girlfriend, it was funny. Cokins and I both believe that she is an exact copy of Matt, only in female form. I don't think I'm that funny, but I was getting laughs out of her all night, just like Matt.

Onward. On Fri. Kim made me feel really good. Not in that sense pervs, but in another. I also ran around a car in my boxers. Can't beat that!

I'm loving this warm weather. I hope it stays like this. The current conditions are perfect.

Last night was turnabout. It was gay. Yeah, I said it, gay. I think the reason for it is not because Kim and me never spent any time together (although that did have something to do with it), but because I think as you get older and older and go to more and more school dances, you just get sick of them. I wish I had spoken up and not gone. Kim decided she wanted to go on Fri. morning. The dance was on Sat. night. Oh well, shes the one that had to scramble around to get a dress and get ready and all that.

After turnabout was something else. It basically added insult to injury, in more ways than one. Lauren ended up getting totally trashed, and Kim got blamed for it. That's just not right. Sure we left to go over to Peter's house (who I have found to be pretty cool), but since when does that give Lauren the go-ahead to get fucked-in-half drunk? So when we got back to the party, Kim gets bitched out by a couple people. I was talking with Karissa today about the whole thing and we both agree that her friends need to start appreciating what Kim does for them.

Just ate a whole bunch of ribs. Can't beat that. Yep.

Smell ya later.

Ok, so usually I preface each entry with how long it's been since the last, but I'm feeling a bit saucy so that's out.

So I'm going out with Kim now. This is actually really funny once I get into the story, and I'm not sure she'd appreciate it, but I will admit that I haven't been this happy with someone in quite some time.

The story of Kim and me is as follows. At first when I started hanging out with Sara it was because we both liked each other. Whether or not Sara will admit this is her problem, but I have VERY strong reason to believe that she did. Anyway, it started becoming quite evident that she was trying to set Kim and me up. So Sara kinda started fading into the background, but would still call me every night. So eh whatever, I just kinda played it off because it was still clear that she had ulterior motives. So Kim and me started hanging out over this last week during the week, and things started taking course. I remember on Sat. Sara actually asked me if I was going to ask Kim out because in her words "Are you just going to keep getting with her and not ask her out? Don't be a pussy." but little did she know I had, and Kim was being self-proclaimed stubborn. So on the 20th, I asked her again and she made me make sure that I was sure I wanted to.

Let me clarify here. At first, she had asked what to do about us. If you know anything this basically means to ask me out. I originally stated that I didn't want to get involved before college and everything, but after I was thinking about it that night, I realized that I was being dumb and should start living for the moment more instead of thinking things out way to heavily like I usually do. It was only after a day that I asked her out again that she said yes. So it went full circle, from me being a dick about it, to her being a bitch, but we're all good now, and I'd hardly say either of us were mean, just difficult.

As is typical fashion with anyone I'm going out with or anything, we were walked in on last night. It was nothing bad at all, we were just kissing, but I still think it's really funny that my mom has caught me, get this, with the last 3 girls I've been with. This wouldn't happen if she wasn't creeping around the house. Seriously, even Cristina and Marina have noticed how she slinks around the house very quietly. The only thing that pisses me off is that she doesn't sneak around the house when no one else is here. It's like she's out to get me, that sucks.

On to other things.

Let's start with the pranks that we've been pulling. So on Sat. night Cokins and Monahan decided to put "He's wearin' em" on my garage in black tape. They also hung some underwear above my garage. It was hilarious. I got them back though, on Cokins' garage, I put "Mike is whipped, he loves that quack!". The thing is though, is that my message was true. He's whipped beyond belief, and I have reason to believe that he might indeed love that quack. In Monahan's yard I put 3 signs. Two open house signs, pointing towards a market day sign I jacked from St. Mary's. Yeah, I'm going to hell, I think. Market day supplies those things I'm sure, no big deal, besides the catholic church has more money than any other organization on the face of the earth, they can spare the $20.

The upcoming prank that Kelly, Monahan, and maybe Kim and me are pulling is going to go down in history. Cokins won't even know what hit him. This is going to have to become a weekly thing now. I'd share what the prank is, but you never know who might get it next, and if we're going to be doing this every weekend, we need to keep a low profile.

Well that's all for now I think. Spring break is here, and I'm glad, just wish it felt like SPRING!

Ok, so I'll admit it's been a few moons since my last real entry. The last was only half real.

I just got home from work, and nothings really changed. Monique (the crook) is gone, but now we have this new character. This guy I have not yet met, but from what I hear hes a unique character and will probably last about a week at Blockbuster. This may continue on another complete tyraid, but in order to work at Blockbuster you need to be able to know when to take shit and when to give shit. It's that simple. From what Ali and Ciji tell me, this guy does not possess this trait. I deserve a raise. I sell more shit than anyone else in that store, so I work 2 days a week. So what? I still sell more than like 75% of the other employees, and that's only working 2 days. I've had 21 rewards in one night, most of the employees get like 10 a week if they're lucky. I'm not going to beg though, even asking is against my nature.

Other news. Sara and me are going to turnabout, it'll be fun. My only concern is that shes still with Peter. Yeah. That's right, bullshit. If you didn't know, that's what the previous entry was referring to. Last night we went to see Eurotrip, I reccomend it to everyone. The movie is simply hillarious. It's a mix of American Pie and Road Trip, two great movies. Other news with Sara though, the other day I was on the phone with her and we were both tired. What happened you ask? Well the obvious; I fell asleep on the phone with her. Saras not dumb, she knew, it was funny and I have a good laugh whenever I think about it. She can actually keep up with me and outsmart me with quips and stuff. I say it's about time I meet a girl that can, so theres proof, it can be done. Ugh, I need to straighten some shit out though, I don't like not knowing things, even though I think that what I do know makes myself my thinking about things my worst enemy.

So tennis didn't go as well as I thought, but oh well, I got cut, it's not that big a deal to me, I have humility like that. Besides, Jenn and me will play sometime, if shes not being dub or anything like that, of course. I mean, yeah, this is 24" Jenn we're talking about here. (I'm not saying 24" tall, 24" like a rim for a car [a dub])

So I'm Mr. Yurek for student teacher exchange day, it'll be fun, especially because hes a funny guy. At first I thought that he was pretty dorky, and I still do, but I have also noticed that hes hillarious. I'm teaching logs to his Algebra 2 class. Fun fun. Saras Mr. Forberg, shes gotta read all this shit and everything and shes bitching about it. Maybe she shouldn't have asked for a teacher that would make her do some preparation if she was going to complain about it all the time and work on it all weekend. Common sense, no? So Christine Crowley is Ms. Hayes. Honestly, what a chain of events in her life. She nearly ruins the ENTIRE yearbook, and is somehow rewarded by becoming the yearbook sponsor for a day. Someone tell me where this makes sense. Stupid S.A., if only they knew the situation, or if Claire was on the selection board, this would have never happened (her getting elected to be K.Hayes.) What's the world coming to?

Last weekend we had a math team meet. It was great. Carly and me had a fun time drawing the Benet nerds. They had like 3 Ti-89's EACH. For those that are unaware, those calculators are like $150 a piece, on sale. I'll admit, I laughed when I saw them all walk in together with their stuff. Especially during calculator team, that should be unfair to utilize more than one calculator. But I guess it's true that cheaters never prosper, because guess who won regionals? Yeah, that's right I did, with my underclass misfit team that I assembled in about 5 min. I asked some underclassmen to come with me because they had nothing else to do, and they did. Well, we won, and it was good. Carly won regionals in pre-calc, and Calby won with algebra/trig. So basically, we kicked some geek ass. That sould be our motto "Liberating geeks with our coolness, semi-monthly". That'd be pimp.

So I've gotten in everywhere I've applied. I still have yet to hear from the big Tex though. I NEED to get in there. If not there though, I'm thinking I'll be pimpin' it up in the Palmetto state, at Clemson. I'd kinda like to hear back from the other places that I've applied though. I'm curious on whether or not I'll get into engineering at Texas, Tulane, Villanova, or Virginia Tech. I don't really expect to, but you never know, I didn't expect to get into everywhere else either. I almost wish I'd have applied to some California schools, or somewhere on the west coast. Like Oregon would've been cool, but unlikely. Eh no biggie though. I think USC would've been skilla, should've applied, might've gotten in. That's all over now, so it's no longer a concern, but you sometimes have to think about the "what if's".

Well, I think I'm gonna go, leave a comment if you're so inclined. I encourage it.

I'm between a rock and a hard place here, and I don't like it. Why can't things just be simple. Like "you're rad, I'm rad, let's hug". Nice and simple, but no.

You're Texas!

You aren't really much of your own person, but everyone around
you wishes you'd go away, so you might as well be independent.  You're
sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power.  You
like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs.  And sometimes you really
smell.  But it's not all bad, you're big enough to have some soft spots
somewhere in all that redneck madness.
Take the Country
Quiz at the Blue Pyramid

I'd disagree in some respects, and definately agree in others, but, how funny is it that I am Texas? I also find it humorous that it's the Country Quiz, and I am Texas.

You're Babar the King!

by Jean de Brunhoff

Though your life has been filled with struggle and sadness of late,
you're personally doing quite well for yourself. All this success brings responsibility,
though, and should not be taken lightly. Life has turned from war to peace, from damage
to reconstruction, and this brings a bright new hope for everyone you know. These hopeful
people look to you for guidance, and your best advice to them is to watch out for snakes.
You're quite fond of the name "Celeste".


Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

Thats weird though, because some lady at Blockbuster today did have the name Celeste, and I do recall thinking it was pretty, but also sounded a bit like a pornstar name too. Strange and funny on all accounts.

Since it's been awhile, (week maybe?) I think I'll put in a real entry.

So I'm sitting here writing this mainly because I haven't had a real update in awhile, and I'm avoiding my physics homework.

Speaking of physics, that class is seriously getting better and better. Just the other day we stole the biology guys' microwave and were blowing shit up with it. It is for this reason that you take a class such as AP physics, that and the slacking off, constant jokes, computer games, excellent discussions about nothing, spinning each other around on a turntable, locking people out of the room, listening to porn music, and mass quantities of intellect in the same room. Oh, the material we study is damn interesting as well. Only thing about the class I don't like is how it's hard. Yes, it is very hard when we work. This time is now, but I'm currently parlaying this work as much as possible. We just switched gears completely from working with mechanics to now working with electricity and magnetism and stuff. Kinda G-code if you know what I mean, but what can ya do?

Calculus is getting better, but still not fantastic. I got a B on the last quiz, and I'll probably do well on the upcoming test, but still looking forward to the class being over simply because I'm sick of working in high school. I wanna get to the fun part of the class - after we take the test - watching movies and shit.

Lifeguard training is seriously rocking my world. It's fun, it's making me give up soda, which I suppose is for the best because now that my real physical activity has come to a halt (football, zero hour), I'd much like to keep off the weight I lost. Only thing that kinda sucks about the class is when Megan or Elyse tries to rescue me from the bottom of the pool, and I end up running out of breath at the bottom of the pool. Elyse comes close, but still can't get me. Megan isn't even near me. I was rescuing Elyse today, and totally misjudged how deep in the water she was. I figured we were doing a deep water rescues, but I guess everyone took that as meaning just below the surface. Elyse and me were playing around in the pool today too, it was funny, because Mr. Fryrdych was in on it too.

I've been hanging out on IRC in the #math and #physics channels. Call me geeky if you will, it's awesome.

On the latest math team competition, it was Ryne, Carly, and I were the only seniors. We outscored all previous RB senior math teams with just the three of us. It was awesome, we still didn't do well compared to the competition though. I say that's ok though, simply because we're smarter, we come from a better school than mostly all those teams, the other teams are mainly from private schools, and our math team hardly spends anytime studying or anything. The bus driver was simply amazing. Now I'm not great at directions, but I KNOW that I could follow the amazing simple directions that Ms. Czajka was giving her. We ended up being a bit late, but there was no harm done, only much frustration.

I'm thinking that I'm the only person that will have my pages done for the Rouser deadline tomorrow. They're going to be great. Hopefully Renata and I will be able to get another feature and work on it together. We have an excellent idea.

Being KHayes aide 6th hour with Renata kicks serious ass. At first I had written Renata off as really pretentious and snobby, much like her friends, but now I know otherwise. She’s really nice, and fun to talk to, sometimes it's hard getting homework done since we just spend the majority of our time talking and stuff, it's almost strange how we just clicked, I certainly didn't see it coming.

Went sledding last night, it was an experience. It was Cokins, Connor, Aj, Timmy Gavin, Marin, Caleb, Hutch, Anna, Keith, Chewy, Tom, Vega, Sean, Corey, and then Malory and one of her friends showed up with her (I forget the friend's name at the moment.) Timmy ended up going to the hospital after running over a broken pole that was in the ground. He probably got some staples and stitches in his leg. He didn't even know he had sliced himself, it was funny, but as Jenn would say, "only not!". So Aj took him to the hospital and we carried on without them.

I hit my head pretty well. We were having a war going down the hill, and I was gonna take out Corey, but he threw the snow tube into me which stunned me. I flew into a ditch and bonked my head off Cokins' sled. It was funny, but I had a big bump, and I still have a bit of a scrape. It's on my forehead, you can't miss it.

That's all for now, it was a fun ass night. It was one of those times that made you glad you're still able to enjoy such things as sledding.

The Good:

At lunch today, we tried taking Pat Meyer's shoe from him. It was funny. We all stood outside the doors and waited for him, and tried to get the shoe. We failed.

I found out today and I can major in physics in college and still get an engineering job. I also don't need a crazy GPA to transfer into engineering at Purdue. This is great.

I got a dreamsicle during 7th hour due to the machine not working and Jenn not noticing me punching in the code for dreamsicle. It was great, I think you had to be there though, since we did try all other ice cream options before the dreamsicle. Jenn was detesting dreamsicles as Nathan and me were telling her how good they are. I had the ice cream.

Just made like $60 snow blowing driveways in less than an hour (not like it's hard), and I got a check for like $115 from work last night and my mom owes me a sizable chunk of change. (whistles "I'm in the money")
The Bad:

I got like nothing done in Rouser today. Ashley needs to develop those pics. Hopefully she'll have those done for tomorrow.

I went around talking about Rouser today to underclassmen as they are registering for classes soon. There are some fucking punks in the lower classes. They tried punking me out and making fun of me. Shit I had the balls to go and talk to them, not that it takes any. I even dished it back out to them. Especially Holly Verner. That little skank. She’s already pregnant, trying to make fun of me isn't going to help. Then there was some other little shit that was like trying to intimidate me. Nigga please, you're like 4'11". You're not intimidating me with your little twerp mouth,

The Ugly:
Megan talking about sex WAYYYY too fucking much. Like I don't really mind or anything, but everything in moderation. My lord, it's like every other thin out of her mouth. She also told me she thinks I'm hot, perhaps there’s a correlation. Kind of hope not, she’s weird.

Slavko needs to stop tanning. Girls tanning in the winter is fine; guys? Yeah, not so much. This makes you decidedly gay, but then again, this is Slavko we're talking about. It's even funnier when he tries telling you that he was in Florida over winter break. Will he still be using that excuse in March as well? Winter break has been over for some time. I find it funny, and gross at the same time.

Well, we got our new classes for the new semester today. I must say, mine are excellent. Urban is going to kick ass, so is lifeguard training. Study hall is good too, because I can go up for calculus help since my teacher does not have a class 6th hour. I got a C for the semester in calculus, which is the best I could've done given my grade. I'm satisfied. The class is damn hard, and the ap multiplier is a heaven sent. I think my Urban Studies class is going to be XL! It sounds interesting already, and we haven't even scratched the surface of the things we're going to talk about.

First hour I was telling Cokins how much he loves the quack, (Our codename for cock) and the teacher tells me to watch my language. I simply tell her that I wasn't aware I used bad language. Everyone erupted in laughter at this point. I didn't think it was the least bit funny, since everyone else can vouch for me in that I did not swear. I think everyone was just surprised that I would respond to her calling me out by doing the likewise to her. Like I'm going to sit back and take it or something? What do you think? I wonder what she thought I said. She was pretty embarrassed when I asked her what I said and she didn't answer me. I guess sometimes even teachers make mistakes. (Gasp!)

On Sun. night Jenn and I went out because she was not with Eric or at work. I suppose they're one in the same since the girl is one of the two places. He seems kinda like another job in himself. I guess the payoff is worth it. I'm not an expert in the situation. But anyway, we went down to Chinatown and indulged in some quality cuisines. We also went to a Chinese candy shop and stuff. But didn't buy anything. I want that stone chocolate damnit. It was closed when we were done eating. I actually ate seafood. For those of you that know my eating habits, (I can think of maybe one reader, potentially another.) this is an extreme rarity. She showed me were The Junk used to be, and I showed her my old house. A good time was had by all, and most importantly I think she kinda put the troubles with Eric out of her mind for awhile.

I came up with THE BEST title for one of my stories in Rouser today. It's an article about the change from freshman year to sophomore year. The title is "Not So Fresh: A Special Way Of Feeling". I'm quite proud, you should be as well. Or something like that.

Comment if you wish, I encourage it, since I enjoy reading comments. I'm off to bed.

Well, if you look at the date, you'll find that I am now a legal adult. I feel no older. Maybe it's a time release deal or something.

I'll start from Thursday.

It was the last day of finals, and I had psychology and rouser. They went well. Carly and I talked about how Ms. Mills tried making the psych final hard. It was not. For Rouser, I got kinda bitched at. Fuck you, I do other peoples work, shut it. Maybe you should bitch at them. I have the situation on lockdown though.

Later that day, I was just chillin and Cokins called. I swear that kid schedules his entire life around Tiffany. Heaven forbid she break up with him or something. He'll be a withering pile of jello. Anyway, he comes over, and we're making a cd, when the subject of sound effects comes up. We start downloading like cop sirens and air raid sirens.

There is only one thing that can come of this.

We make the cd, sound effects included, and drive over to Monahan's house. We're driving over there BLASTING the police siren, and flashing the headlights. We tested it in front of my house, you can CLEARLY hear the siren from my room, when hes in the driveway. It was plenty loud. When we get to Monahan's house, his mom comes out front, she is none too amused. She informs us that Matt can't come out today, and has to study for finals. Honestly, his MOTHER told us this. Matt needs to grow some balls and stand up for himself. So we parade around for awhile with our police sirens, it was fun, and I can only imagine what other cars must've thought.

We go back to his house, and chill for awhile. He takes me home after awhile, since he wants to take a shower. Never calls me back, I can only assume he went out with Tiffany or something. Pretty gay, but I was the same way, so I'm in no position to really say anything. Except I do get my turn to makefun of him. It's bad enough that hes going to college around here only to stay with her.

Speaking of college, earlier that day, I received my letter of acceptance to Purdue. I figured I'd get in, however I did not get into their engineering department. Oh well, I got into physics, I'll be sure and ask how easy it is to transfer into the department as to whether or not I'll consider it an option. If you need like a 4.0 GPA, which is quite probable, forget it.

Yesterday, I went snowboarding at Cascade Mountain. Not my favorite place, but it was still fun none the less. The jumps weren't to my liking (either too small, or too big) but the rails were good (some anyway, I didn't like how they had things layed out) It was fun though and I was with Lesley and Jenny again, and Connor joined us this time around. We were without question the best snowboarders in the freaking place. I'm not being pompous, everyone else sucked. We don't suck. Anyway, I came home and sat around. I was dead. I just watched tv. I was going to watch a movie with my mom, but when I came downstairs, she said she was in the middle of another movie. Yes, she still complains that I don't spend enough time with her. I wonder why, maybe it's because she doesn't give me a chance?

More to come in the future.

Jenn has voiced that I need more entries in my journal. Funny/silly ones specifically. I hope this will do:

So yesterday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Mr. Mo made me copy my essay over, that made me angry. Physics wasn't terrible. Calc was easier than I thought. ALOT easier. Thanks to some help I enlisted.

Later that night, Cokins came over and we decided to get Monahan. He was studying and we were shining this laser pointer in through a window all over stuff. We saw him going nuts trying to figure out what it was. It was hillarious. He finally saw us in the window though. Shucks.

On to today -

Well, today was uneventful - at school anyway, except for one thing that really struck my funny bone.

I had my government final, so I got to come late. Stopped by Duncan Donuts, that was fun. I never really thought about the stereotypes with Indian people working in those establishments, but my god. I'd be lying if I said that there was one non-Indian crew worker there. Maybe there is some truth behind that whole thing.

So I get to school, and get ultimate premium parking. After sweezing between two other cars of course. I'd die in a bigger car. I make my way in the building and am talking to Nick and Kirby. They're funny.

I get to Mr. Yurek/Ms. Czaija's room. They're not taking a final. This doesn't strike me as surprising, because everytime I go by there, no matter when, they are doing NOTHING. Seriously, I don't think any their classes do anything. (They are the math team sponsors for those not in the know.) I turned in my permission slip for the upcoming competition. It's scheduled outside of school hours. This doesn't make sense to me. I thought that they only needed a permission slip if it was during the school day. We never needed permission slips to play away football games. This makes no sense to me. Enough rambling though.

So I get to government, and we take the final. No big shakes. It was only after most everyone was done with the final that the real action took place. All of a sudden the Endro in my class pulls out a sack lunch. A brown paper mother fucking bag. This wouldn't have struck anyone as strange, except for the fact that it was 10:30 A.M.. The final is over in 15 min. He'll be home in 20, max. Obviously, he could just not wait to eat. He had already eaten breakfast because we asked him. Even Mr. Fields started laughing at this point. Billy called him fat. (This is funny because everyone makes fun of Billy for being such.) Everyone is just fixated on this kid munching on his lunch. It is at this point when he just says "Man, mah mom packed me this shit." I erupted into laughter purely because he said it as if it was no big deal. I know what you're thinking; "But Sam, it's only a lunch! You're making too much of this!" No, my friend, I am not. This was fucking hillarious.

As I'm leaving from finals, I'm walking towards my car when I see Cokins' jeep picking Tiffany up. Honestly, can the kid get any more whipped? Is he going to be picking her up from school next year? Inquiring minds want to know. How long is this whip? Anyway, I go to Blockbuster because I wanted to see what came out yesterday. (new stuff always comes out on Tuesdays. For those that don't know, music, movies, and games all come out on Tuesdays.) I go in, and Monique is working there. I wonder how much of the money is gonna be missing from her drawer today? We think shes a theif, everyone else bitches about her. I have no qualms, she filled in for me once, and shes ghetto fab. Both work in her favor in my book. They take working at Blockbuster WAY TOO FUCKING SERIOUSLY. It's a store, dealing in movies, not diamonds encrusted in platinum. People steal, especially in North Riverside, get over it, it's going to happen. We had nothing new, except Cabin Fever. I might watch it again, just because it was so gruesome.

I get home, play playstation for awhile, have nothing to do, so I call Monahan. He just got home from school himself, I tell him we should get Mike. He agrees. Especially after what happened last night. So we're thinking of what we can get him with while at Matt's house. We decide on "Snow Penis: Revisited". To understand this, you must know that we made a snow penis in front of Matt's house last winter. We can't think of a better place to put the phallus than on his front porch, right by his window to his room. We called Syd's cellphone, and found out that he is in his room with Tiffany. Since hes in there with Tiffany, this is going to be great when we disturb them with snowballs hitting his window.

Penis is made, it's excellent. We had sticks sticking out of the balls for hair, and we sculpted it and everything. It was about time to hit his window with snowballs. And we did. After about 10 min. or us nailing the shit out of his window, I am tackled from behind. Mike is none too happy with our antics, but oh well, that's what you get for hitting my window with snowballs. Bitch. He goes on to explain how he was sleeping.

Sleeping my ass! I may not be the most experienced in this department, but I know that when you're home alone, with only your sister home, no parents. You don't spend it in bed with your girlfriend SLEEPING! I mean come on, I'm not dumb Mike. I don't care if you were fucking the shit out of her, I'm not your dad or her dad or anything, I'm not going to shoot you or something. Perhaps he didn't want us to have the pleasure of knowing that we ruined his fun. It was pretty funny though, when Matt was yelling "C'mon Mike, pull out, and get out here, we made a giant penis for you!" though.

That was the story of today. And my mom tried tricking me into sending a housing deposit to Iowa. Seriously, why is she pushing this so much? If they ask you to send a deposit for housing, they're assuming you're going there. I do not yet know if I am yet. Therefore, I do not want to send in my housing application. Does this not make sense? Why try to trick me? I mean really.

So I came back from the football banquet not long ago, and I couldn't help but think that high school has been an experience that I will never forget.

The friendships formed.
The experiences shared.
The lessons learned.
The learning accomplished.
The crushes/loves/whatever experienced.

Sometimes though, I look back and wish that some things had been prolonged, and others shortened.

Going to the banquet tonight, I just got to thinking about how I wouldn't trade an experience like that for the world. Literally. Everyone finally coming back for a final culmination to what has been a great four years. It seems that even though it is something as trivial and meat headed as football is creates things better than anything I have ever experienced before. This night signified that, and brought back that "old school feelin'".

I have to write this paper for Mr. Mo, and I just cannot for the life of me focus. I attribute this to any number of the following:

1. Middle eastern culture's influence in Midnight's Children will not affect my life.
2. I'm not interested in writing about something I'm not interested in, imagine that.
3. I'm kind of stressed about calculus. This is the first math class I have ever had trouble with. Mrs. Gordon isn't a very good teacher. I can identify with two other very reliable sources who have shared the same sentiment.
4. I feel lonely.
5. I feel unfulfilled.
6. I feel above the assignment, it is not required.
7. I'm looking forward to Fri. going snowboarding.
8. I feel like I'm growing apart from people that I used to really spend a lot of time with, and care a lot about.
9. I'm tired.
10. I'm over worked, and underpaid.
11. I haven't heard back from Texas and it's stressing me out, I need certainty, whatever the result, yes or no.
12. I have to run the pacer tomorrow in zero hour for the final. 90 is an A, I'm shooting for like 70-80.

When I say any number of the folowing, if you know me at all, you know that I mean all of the following.
