Catching Up.

Hard to believe I haven't written all week. o.o
So anyway. Second semester started Monday. I've got two new classes now, Computer Lit and Physics, or "Advanced Science" as we're forced to call it to be politically correct (but it's still physics.) I was -supposed- to have Creative Writing, but it got moved to second hour, so I can't be in it. Dammit. >.> But on the bright side, I'm done with gym, for the rest of my high school career.
Computer Lit is flat-out boring. It's intended for the most basic of users. AKA not me. That class is basically just a free credit. Well, not free. Paid for in boredom. Physics is looking like a tough class, but I don't think it'll be too bad. We get to play with Dominoes tomorrow. ^_^;

I've got a wireless card for my laptop now. ^^ Internet access from anywhere in the house. Plus I'm pretty sure I can use those hotspot thingers now. Teh awesomeness. Plus, I can completely control my parents computer with it. I freaked my mother out with it the other day. It was entertaining.

Saw Torque last night. Not too bad of a movie. Huge "yeah right" factor, and not much for plot, but some pretty fun to watch action scenes. ^^

Ok. Now that I've caught up with the week. Let's see, what else can I post here to appease Teenamite?

Oooh. Dandelions came on. *nods head with song* It's a cute song. Crap. That reminds me, I forgot to rip that Five Iron Frenzy cd from John. x.o

I wonder if Gabster's read this recently. I really want her to finish that chibi picture of her stabbing my foot. (Don't ask.) ^^

"It's fuckin' cold." ~ Red Vs. Blue. It's like bloody Sidewinder outside. Eleven degrees. BELOW zero. My car's windows frost up. On the inside. I had to buy de-icer just to be able to see. Plus I think I may have frozen the nerves to my fingertips when I drove it. I need a heater in there.

"Dandelions...you see flowers in these weeds..." I'm in a rambling mood tonight. o.O But what to ramble about.
Heh. Rambling. That reminds me of a conversation with Merril about rambling some time ago. She made the comment, "Why does my calander say August?" It was August.

"Run Around" by Blues Traveler. I was humming this earlier today.

Well, I found a nifty little program at download.com that let's me set a timer to shut down my computer. Very useful, since I keep getting yelled at for having it on when I wake up.

Ooh! Lacy sent me a survey. Just now. I'm gonna do it. Dunno if it's one I've done before or not.

1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? Chris.

2. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING? Blue-ish sweater-ish striped-ish...shirt. And jeans.

3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? "Run Around", Blues Traveler. (I like coffee and I like tea, but to be able to enter a final plea...)

4. WHAT DID YOU DO LAST NIGHT? Saw Torque.

5. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? BBQ Lays chips.

6. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? One of those weird colors that nobody ever uses, but gets a kick out of having in the box of 96 crayons just because.

8. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE
PHONE? Um...Martin.

9. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX? Depends how I meet them.

10. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU THIS? Of course.

11. HOW ARE YOU TODAY? Well, today I was feelin' a bit cynical. But now I'm pretty chipper. I think it might be the fumes from that de-icer--it said to use in ventilated areas.

12. FAVORITE DRINK? Currently, it's a mix. Take Sunny Delight, and add cranberry juice until you get just the right shade of orange. =9 It's an awesome morning drink. Better than breakfast, almost.

13. FAVORITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK? I don't really have one. But I could go for a hard lemonade...

14. FAVORITE SPORTS? to watch: football..um...that's pretty much it. to play: Hm...badmintion, tennis, ping-pong...I pretty much like hitting things over nets with some sort of stick.


15. HAIR COLOR? Brown, although certain people want that changed.

16. EYE COLOR? Blue.

25. FAVORITE SONG? I can't pick a favorite out of my 35+ hours of music.

26. Summer or Winter? They both suck, but there's no school in summer, so...

28. RELATIONSHIPS OR ONE NIGHT STANDS? Relationships.

29. CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA? Swirl.

30. DO YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO WRITE BACK? Write back? o.O; Uh-oh, this is meant for e-mail.

34. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? "Exile" by...an..author....<.< >.>

37. CAN YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE WITH YOUR TONGUE? Not without chopping one of them off.


38. CAN YOU ROLL YOUR TONGUE? Yep. *Does so*

39. ARE YOU ROMANTIC? I could be. But I could also ruin a perfectly set-up romantic moment. The pendulum swings both ways.

40. DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY? I don't believe in luck. (Considering I don't believe in it, I give it an awful lot of credit.)

Survey's over. Move along, folks.

Crop Circles

Don't ask me why, but I'm watching a show on crop circles. Mainly, I'm too lazy to get up and change the channel. Now, I place no belief in the aliens-made-them theory. It seems to me that the only intelligent beings that are placing them there are humans.

But I try to be open minded. On this show, they keep talking about "highly evolved beings" that are trying to communicate with us.
Tch. Don't be so naive.

When humans discover something, what's the first thing they do? They write their names on it.

If crop circles really are made by extra-terrestrials, I bet it's grifitti. They come down, write their name, and take off. They're not nearly as intelligent as we keep claiming they are. And after they found out we were on to them, they were like, "Dude, let's freak out those stupid humans." And they other guys were like "Yeah! That's an awesome idea!" Seriously, they're up there laughing they're asses--assuming they have this body part--off. And some of them will come back in twenty years and be like, "Aww, I remember the first time I came here and wrote my name right...yes! There! It's still here, whoo!"

Silly aliens.

So anyway. =D
I went tubing at Whitetail Ridge today. Fun fun. Except for the nice chunk of ice that I slammed my knee into going really fast. x.o; But it's all good. I can still move it, which is better than my last knee swelled up time thing.
Afterwards, played some Red Faction at John's and watched the "behind the scenes" play movie at Martin's. Heheh.

Y'know, it strikes me odd that the alien tourism season is only while the fields are near harvest time. Don't you think they could leave marks in the snow, too?

Speaking of Red Vs. Blue.

From the Public Service Announcement on why not to get a tattoo:

You are a god damned idiot. And I'd like to prove this mathematically, if I may. Take your current age. Now subtract ten years from it. Where you smart back then? Of course you weren't. You were a god damned idiot. Fact of the matter is, you're just as big an idiot today, it's just gonna take you ten more years to realize. ~ Church, Blue Army.

It's interesting to think that I can look back on a few years ago, and think, Holy crap. I was a god damned idiot. And yet, scary to think what I'll be looking back on a few years from now.

Let's face it. When I was young (Did I really just say, "when I was young"? ...Woah.) I thought that I knew everything. And then, hey, guess what. I didn't. But later on I realized that back then I didn't, but I was POSITIVE that NOW I knew what I needed to know. Also, dumb.
Today (Well, not today today. It's not something I've just realized or something. But you know what I mean. Shut up and let me finish.) Today I've more than accepted the fact that there is plenty that I don't know, and even more that I will never know. Nothing really new. But I've been looking back over some of my first Trillian logs, when I was fourteen. (I've been using Trillian two years now. o.o) I used things like "u" and "y" and "omg." And not in a satirical manner. This saddens me greatly, as I'd always thought that I had given those up long before that. And many of the things that were said in those conversations struck me as funny then, but now, I think I was just a god damned idiot. (Phrase of the day.)

So, three years from now, when I'm thinking back, I'll probably be thinking, "Man, I was a god damned idiot. But hey, at least I figured it out ahead of time."

*Screech*

Well, I can now say that I've been in a car accident.

I hate saying "car accident," though. It sounds too serious. "Wreck" and "accident" all make it sound like there was lots of damage.

Ok, here's what happened. Friday, I was staying after school so I could do my book report on Mila 18 (Which, by the way, was completely awesome. The book, not the report.) so I got a ride home from Martin.

One thing you should know about Ridgeville roads is that they're sanded in the winter to give traction on the ice. But if there is no ice, the sand only makes it easier to crash. And our stupid county has this really bad habit of pouring sand on the road when there's barely any snow on the ground.

Anyway, one particular corner on the way had a lot of sand on it. And we hit it just a smidgen too fast. The car swerved on the sand and started to skid out, so he started frantically spinning the wheel trying to regain control of the car. (At one point, it was on two wheels.) Swerved twice, then flew off the road just in time to knick a fencepost and stop in the ditch. The fencepost only did a little damage, but the left tires were flat. So luckily Clyde, our school's computer guy, stopped and gave us a lift.

I hope they got the car out of that ditch. =/ Anyway, neither of us were hurt, although my head was already sore from hockey, (See also, head hitting against brick) so you can imagine what being turned into a violent bobblehead did. Also, my lunchbox, in the trunk, was verily squashed.

It could have been worse. He kept apologizing, so I had to assure him that I would only be mad if I had lost a leg or something. Also, I made the discovering that "I'd still be sarcastic if I took a bullet to the heart." I just said it as kind of a random thing, but y'know, that's probably true.

Anyway. Fast forward to today.

Oh, right. I didn't do anything today.

Well, I did think about finishing the site layout. But I got lazy, and kind of...didn't.

Why are you still here? Red Vs. Blue has entered Season 2. Go!

I Wish I Was An Owl.

My sleep patterns are really screwy. I spent all day in a near-coma state, barely managing to make it from class to class. After every hour, I'd mutter "# down, # to go, then home, then sleep...." Then around 8-ish I was about ready to crash. So I thought I'd go to bed by 10-ish.

By 10-ish, I'm wide awake. So sleep time gets pushed back a half-hour. Then another. Then another.
The midnight deadline just got pushed back, because I'm hardly tired right now.

And tomorrow, when I wake up, I'll be dead tired and complaining about it again.
x_x;

Although, I've felt like crap since Sunday night, so maybe I'll get lucky and be horribly sick tomorrow. Yeah. That'll happen.

Music: San Dimas High School Football Rules ~ The Ataris
People: Sam, Cody, Mellie.
Temp: 34 F.
Mood: Tch. As if I'd know.

Sundays.

First off, I'd like to say that this might not be as funny as it was intended to be back when I thought about posting it. (Strange how often that's been happening lately.) I'm just not feeling all that funny tonight. The jokes are still here, but they're hollow.

Well, now that I've ruined it for you, I give you the idea I thought up earlier today.

This will only make sense to you if you attend school five days a week or have a Monday-Friday job, tho'.

Sunday is supposed to be a sabbath day. (If you have alternative beliefs, humor me and read this anyway. It might make you laugh anyway.) It's also the day that most people attend church. Now, by doing this, they get to wake up later than usual; although still a bit early. They go to church, and come home, getting the afternoon to do whatever, and then they're tired by night. Even if you attend night church, you come home thinking about that lecture that was, quite frankly, way over your head, and get tired just thinking about it and go to sleep. In other words, go to church = happier Monday.

Now, for those of us who don't. (Those with jobs on weekends are exempt from this next part.) Friday night, you stay up all night and enjoy sleeping in Saturday. Now, Saturday, you wake up in the afternoon and it's not possible to be tired before midnight, so another night of late sleeping follows, and if you don't go to Church the next day, it's likely you'll sleep all morning again. Then, Sunday, you wake up afternoonish, and by night, aren't very tired, and end up going to bed way too late and being really tired Monday.

Moral of the story? God punishes us through Mondays. It's the only explanation for the suckiness of such a day.

o.O I just tought a lesson in my blog. Interesting.

Patheticness.

Is that a real word? Well, it is now. Anyway. Tonight I was looking over some of my Trillian logs, and I came across the period in time when I had a huge crush on she who will not be named. And do you know what I realized?

Holy crap man. Look up pathetic in the dictionary; beside the word, and it's definition, you will see these logs. I thought it was pretty bad at the time, but...wow. Pa. Theh. Tic.

I'm so glad that I erased all of my old posts from back before the site change. They were just as, if not more, pathetic, and removing them from the internet could only be considered a favor to mankind.

But, I'm glad to have the logs. Now, when somebody goes, "That's really pathetic." I can go, "Dude, you think that's pathetic? Look at those!" And point to the logs.

I'd post the logs, but they're just too pathetic to be read by anyone who hasn't had experience tolerating such patheticness. However, if you feel the need to read something pathetic, take a look at the allegory I wrote for American Lit. While it's not nearly as pathetic as what I will from now on refer to as "The Logs of Patheticness," it should still be read with certain amounts of caution. That being said, I give you Just a Legend.

I'm a Marxist; of the Groucho tendancies. I can't remember that quote perfectly, but I like it, even though I've never really seen Groucho Marx. I've seen Pierce immitate him on M*A*S*H, so I think I'd like the guy.

Four AM. What? When did that happen? Crappit.

Another Survey.

I don't like Hummers but I did like that Hummer commercial. Thus; this article made me laugh.

1. The Hummer kid cheats. Yes, the company's Web site offers "thinking outside the box" justifications, pointing out that the race rules are just "First one down wins." But I don't buy it. He fails to stay on a clearly demarcated course. In my book, that's an automatic DQ. Anyway, the off-road driving didn't even look that treacherous—I bet the regular cars could have handled it, too, if their drivers were little cheating brats. Were I the other kids, I would have ripped the wheels off the soapbox Hummer and beat the cheater about the head with them.

Penny For Your Thoughts.

I'd like to start off this post by noting that I hate English projects. The language is alright, the class isn't too bad (This year, anyway) but the projects (from said class) absolutely suck.

Of course, maybe if I didn't wait till the last two days of a month project to get started, I wouldn't despise them so.
...Nah.

Anyway. By Friday, I need a collage giving examples of self-reliance, an essay on realism, and an allegory with a multiple choice situation.
Two days to write two things and glue stuff to tagboard. One, considering my clock just decided it was Thursday.
I want an extension. ;-;
Wonder if I can get sick by the 9th...

Anyway. Below is a little survey/poll/thing. Copy it, then paste it into the commenting thing and fill it out. Then, put it in your own blog/journal/thing, you unoriginal hack.

1. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
2. Am I lovable?
3. How long have you known me?
4. When and how did we first meet?

Alone in the Dark

The power's been out for the last hour. Laptop's down to 45% battery power. I miss you, electricity. ;-;
Oh well. I'm going to bed soon, anyway.

Skipping to the point...

I don't think I could work for a delivery company. They never learn your name. You become "Fed Ex Guy" or "UPS Guy" or "Pizza Guy" or "Jostons Guy" or "The Amazing Messenger Kid." ...Well, that last one might not be so bad, but it would probably be replaced with something lame like "Mailman."
I mean, sure, most jobs don't end up giving you recognition. We all know Bill Gates' name, he's not just "The Microsoft Guy." But cases like that are rare. Most jobs, you're stuck being "(Occupation) Guy.) Or, I suppose, "(Occupation) Chick" if you're of the female purs...persua....if you're not a guy. (I have spell check, yes, but this is easier.)

But at least with those jobs, the people you know still know your name. In delivery, even your friends will eventually resort to the Guy title. It'll start with them referring to you as "A friend of mine who happens to deliver stuff to me." But soon, they'll forget you even have a name, and you will be permanently labeled "Delivery Guy."

And those of you brave, nameless workers who work hard to deliver us our stuff, most of the time--thank you. It is because of your brave sacrifice that we are allowed to recieve goods from those whose names we feel worth remembering.

Man. I'm startin' to feel like just "The Amusings Blogging Guy."
Ouch. =/

So, anybody else think I put a 'lil too much thought into that?
Yeah, me too.

Yeah, if my power isn't on soon, I'm gonna freeze to death. Garrrr. >.>

Life? It's Pretty Cool.

I've spent the last 20 minutes on this page, trying to figure out exactly how to word this post without sounding like an idiot. Well, more of an idiot that any other post.

Let me put it this way. Friday, my faith in life and humanity was completely restored. It didn't matter what went wrong friday, I was having an awesome day. Lacy actually commented I looked happier than usual.

Saturday, less awesome. But is that a surprise? 'Course not. That's how the universe works. Awesome mood one day, it tries to shut you down the next. Noticing things are quiet? It'll toss a storm your way. Noticing how great you're getting along with somebody? It'll throw something between you. Have something worked out perfectly? It'll make a point to interfere with your plans. But anyway. The point is, saturday, I lacked a reason to really have a great day. So I made a point to flip off the universe and have a good day anyway.

Do I have a perfect life? Of course not. But I have a life.

That's more than enough.
