Good Note: You can't figure anything you'll always be wrong no matter how miserably you count everything to be, some surprise will screw it all up, so be happy and stop trying to figure everything out.

Zoo

Umm. . .Lets see today was fun woke up last second got told, I had to add cleaning house to my list of things to do, then went to the zoo with Diedre and Char it was a blast not sure what else to say, umm I well the bats weren't my favorite part this year, but they didn't stand a chance I mean Diedre was there. lol
Ok umm. . . I think thats it today times kind of short
Smile: well since most the zoo time I was laughing instead of smiling probably getting dropped off

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK so yea forgot to say that umm. . .since I was driving no trip with me driving is complete without me getting lost so of course I did it actually wasn't that bad it's all the streets fault I swear, so in the end I guess it was good I was calm but to get us back home we used my license, Diedre's car, and Char's phone. Yay ok well have fun, and ooo you probably just read the above blog but yea I'm about to type it.

Easter

I know I missed I didn't have time to post Easter, so picking up from my last post
after waking up at 2:30 pm and writing the post we went out to dinner, well me Brandon and Dad, my mom stayed home and watched David with his billion screaming friends. :(
So we went to Fridays not entirely sure why o and before this my mom called me down and started asking me questions about my brothers homework (needed a metafor for ligament), and he was yelling at me to get out of the way of the tv, I was like if I"m doing your homework I'm not moving and he's like I never asked you to do my homework,
ok so yea thats just pathetic then my mom's like o well I actually called you down cause your brother wants to go somewhere,
me:well where does he want to go
mom: ask him
me:so where do you want to go
Brandon: I don't know
so why am I here yea so then we went to dinner fun, random conversations, somehow we went from, 5 comp owning the world to Diedre and my dad's childhood memories of lucking out cause girls talk so much, it was hilarious. Ok so then I got home watched some tv and got yelled out for not doing the scholarships but I couldn't get on the internet to print out the forms I had just printed out basic info on the ones that seemed possible.
So then I got on and all 3 of us had wanted it I knew only for a few min and then I'ld give it to David I was getting on more just to see if Diedre was on and said hi, but I ended up staying on and then I finally felt bad and was like here I'lll give it to David so as I tried to type that to her the connection kept dying, like 3times so I just gave it to him 2 min later my dad took the comp. and my mom wsa like Scott why didn't you give it to him, see Diedre now your getting me in trouble, so o well, yea that was it, o and the we went to Home Depot well when coming home from dinner, and my brother bought these 2 toilet paper roll things (the things that you put the rolls on) he kept hitting me with them and said they would be awesome shocks for his plane, he's crazy not genius in thinking that that's a new revolutionary idea, ug uh dug there's a reason no one else is doing it, other than no one really thinks about toilet paper roll holder up things. that was fun to say, o and hello Michelle ha now no one knows which one I'm talking about ehh probably both, sad when not even I know
smile of the day: getting online and getting mobbed by 4 people and then Keri jumped in to
o no wait it was my grandpa calling he congr. me again on AD but the smile was when he asked me about prom that was fun.
quote of the day: "Don't go through life, grow through life" Eric Butterworth
Good Note: umm. . . umm. . . my grandpa called it was funny, no umm. . .yea grow from experiences like Eric said, hmm. . .who was he. o now I kind of thougth of one but it's long to explain so o well

Diedre and Purim

Yesterday was awesome, o and before I start I have some corrections to make, everyone knows I'm bad with dates, and one event was given 2 names both Wild Western Night and Purim Ball and I thought one was one night and one was the night ever but CLUSY will never hosts 2 events close together, I mean once a month is usually a struggle if we do that not that I can complain I haven't been to any events in awhile,although I only know of one that I missed. Ok so yea, and some how I swore the Pruim ball was supposed to have dancing there was definately one last year but maybe thats a different even cause thats the only time my brother actually met Mali. Ok now yesterday can I probably be split into 3 major parts but I"m splitting into Diedre half and Purim, o and I guess in my blog I never made it entirely clear but umm. . .Diedre and my gf are one in the same.

Ok yesterday, ok so after my post, I ate, showered, worried, and waited, then my mom was like o can you look when the thing tonight is so I go upstairs start connecting the net and the doorbell rings I was like wretched time 2 min earlier of later would have been awesome but o well, my mom said I could look it up later and so I jumped down the stairs so she wouldn't be waiting (I haven't done that in awhile). So yea then we went to a picnic thing that was a blast, supposebly one guy who shows up to that never talks to them again after that every year, and everyone she was like well this and this, just seemed awesome, I could see how maybe a few could be annoying, but uh duh duh. Ummm. . . I got to meet Tiff and her cousins, and a bunch of family, and saw the Doug,Joey,William, and Sara family not really sure how else to say that. Then we took pic in a bluebonnet field it was fun.

Then went home for a little bit got really confused when I learned hey this was Purimball as well as the WEstern Night, so was like wait should I be dressed up or what not, so I ended up leaving my jacket which makes an awesome blanket/ sleeping bag at home, and then forgot a pillow to, yea don't do that you would think I would remember having done it previous years, but I forgot, stupid me always being oblivious, anyhow so a couple more people got to meet my brother. Umm. . .it was fun first gambling for charity, and you have the chaperones as dealers well half of them don't know how to play and so you end up with these messed up rules that can be kind of fun, although most of us were to umm. . .naive to catch on to the fact that when you play against a dealer its setup so you can't win if u play right, the we played cards and then we watched 2 some movies. O after AD state they were like everyone needs a nick name and for me were like umm. . . you'll be the hebrew hammer I had no idea what that was. So that was the first movie we saw so politically incorrect, but so awesome, it was nothing like what I was expecting o hilarious ok, then the head of my chapter got busted for starting Scary Movie 2 or actually got a demerit and a half, when asked what that meant Felicia (advisor (head CLUSY chaperone)) was like umm. . .no cookies at the next bored meeting. She's so mean lol, ok so then we saw Drumline you know its funny when its the nonband people that want to see it, and all the band people are like NOO!!!!!! Then we went to sleep or tried but the floor was cold, and some of them wanted to play ERS reflex games that late hahah *die. plus that would be kind of loud since people were trying to sleep, supposebly I fell asleep. I hung most the time with MIchelle, and then some with my brother and Sarah, Hadar my brother thought she was from New York or somthing try Israel. . .close, not. O well it was a blast as well, although when I got up Libby was like are you ok, so I guess I looked really out of it. Getting home umm. . .yea 6:30ish exhausted and at 9 was the carnival ( I said I'ld helpout and possible even be a clown) so not much time for sleep I woke up, and all these 10 year olds were screaming in my house, I looked at my watch it was 2:30ish I had to go check to make sure everything was right with the time and realized that actually wasn't too much sleep. Then I go downstairs and one of them is talking about Scary Movie 2 they were debating whether Freshman should see it and these are 10 year olds, thats saddening whats happening to society. This was like a boy who loves pink, fairies, neopets, and is a little nerdy.
Ok now to catch up on just comments, ok so I went to get some water and theres this girl and guy kind of leaning on each other at the end of the hallway and when I get back one advisor was like "hey are they making out" and another advisor/chaperone guy who used to be in USY was like "they should be" yea thats our supervision for ya, ok and umm. . .yea I didn't realize how much of a friend Michelle was and I didn't call you anorexic. umm. . .o yea I missed the Carnival which means sorry all synogauge people I really did mean to help out, and no Hamentashins hehe the most powerful jewish weapon guilt (Hebrew Hammer thing), used on my parents so now they said they'ld make hamentashins. . .sorry didn't meant to, o well works for me. Ok well I think thats it for now.
so smile of the day: probably somthing from the HEbrew Hammer
quote of the day: since I can't think of anything the one from my email says:
"Love me when I least dehserve it, because tats when I really need it" Swedish Proverb
oooooo I just got a quote
Chris: so what have you gotten to do today?
me: Go home and wake up
Chris:?
me:ooo actually watch a movie or 2 in there to
me: umm Purim ball ended at 6 AM
Good Note of the Day: umm. . .tired people are fun . . . and sometimes the things you worry about aren't half as bad as they seem

Keys and No more Sleep

Ugg dug dug. . .Yesterday morning I can remember back that far right. . .
ummm, yea started off I woke up went downstairs wathced tv no blankets so threw on coat, my dad found some one awake, being me so he told my mom who saw this as an awesome opportunity to make me go shopping. So yea I got to use the debit card, fill up the gas, and do the groceries, and I didn't get lost. . . it was HEB but I didn't get lost. So proud :-) O and before I got out of my house some guy decided that he had to park in front of our driveway for our neighbors garage sale. *shaking fist at world
OK so next then I sat and waited to talk to people online, yay for those who talked to me, Then Libby got on and well previously she was like hey can you come to services Friday I'm bringing this friend and don't want him to feel weird him not being Jewish and all, (her dad being the rabbi probably doesn't help), so I was like ok, and she was like I'm not going and I was like y? and she was like he cancelled on me, and 3 sec later my moms' like hey I'm not gonna take you to the synogauge drive yourself. So I almost got out of driving but then I decided me and Libby would hang out, we saw Miss Congeniality 2 it wasn't bad nothing wonderful, but it was funny, at the beginning I found it really annoying though the Miss Congeniality lady, (already forgot her name) was such b. . .female dog, I was like if I was the other cop I would have smacked her. O and it was cool my mom didn't get back in time so I got to use my dads car, hehe.
Yea I get back 10:00 and 5 min later Daniel's hey you want to go bowling, I was like ummm. .. give me a sec but yea, so I managed drag in Chris, that was fun and I got my first left handed strike, that was awesome, it wasn't luck I"m always an awesome bowler with my left hand at 1:50 in the morning. That was fun the conversations weren't as random as last time, and man my pants umm. . .I swear, it was the washer machine, no really seriously.
Ok so I get home let Gizmo out, run upstairs to get to sleep asap so I'm not grumpy in the morning somewhat banking on the fact that between lack of sleep being more effective the 2nd day as opposed to the day after, self control, and Diedre just being there to not make me grumpy plus I could regain most the sleep, except that ok when I got home my dad was like where are the keys, and I had driven Libby, but gotten a ride to the alley so I was like they should be in mom drawer anyhow I looked and was like I"m too tired I'll just go to sleep wake up early (hopefully) and find it before he does, yea he comes in and wakes me up, I'm like o $___ , yea I look at my watch and it 6:50 (by the was I got to sleep at 3) why, what, huh ok so I go look for the keys there right where I said they were although since I said it I looked there last and it was actually next to where I meant in the other drawer he probably checked where I first did, so I go back to bed, and my dad comes back in
dad: mom wants you,
me: now
dad: yea
So I get out of bed go to her room and she's talking about somthing absolutely pointless o and I realize its now 7:08 can people let me sleep they know I didn't get back till at least 2:30. Ok so now I wasn't going back to sleep, and so I took a shower, and am now here, waiting till noon, o and yesterday I actually practiced skipped the homework part but I did practice.
O the key part ya'll got but the no sleep umm, yea last night no sleep, tonight is a CLUSY basically gambling for charity event thing fun and even less possible to win than Vegas fun, and tomorrow night I don't sleep cause of the Purim ball thing oooo and yea and I"m helping out a Purim Carninval tomorrow too and thats when I stalk up on Hometashins, o and I took this religion test I kept trying to find those things except this one was a little more real and serious then what I was looking for and it saddenned me I didn't get any cool religion I got a 100% reform jew, I"m conservative not too great a gap, but actually I don't think Conservative was anywhere near, but umm. . .yea I could go into why that bothers me but basically I'm probably biased since I"ve only seen reform once, wasn't to impressed. Ok now to finish so I can eat breakfast you would think I would do that first.
Smile of the Day (yesterday of course): talking to people online
Quote of the Day: "The quickest way to ruin a relationship is to try and have one" How to Deal
funny, sad, and mostly true
Good Note of the Day: uummm. . . . another quote "The key to happiness is a bad memory", hehe I should be super happy then. and Buddha said (buddha's just awesome) "He who is able thinks he is able", so start thiking your able

So. . . . . depressing

Well to start Liz forgot who I was no just playing that was a few days ago, and that was her bf I swear he either doesn't like me, is playing with me, or is really stupid I mean I go on trying to explain who I am so he can remember with like well I met you at this convention and what not, and then well yea he never mentions that I"m talking to him as opposed to her.

Ok so lets start with the bright points, there's Liz didin't forget me, Purim is almost here, Diedre took me home, I'm still alive breathing as well as a bunch of other people, and. . . o I got to talk to Libby, umm classes were much better today than yesterday.
Ok so yesterday what my What the 'ell day It first got yelled and later kept echoing. I can barely remember Tuesday so I'll start here it started with Diedre all of sudden yelling What the Hell in my ear for I thought no apparent reason as I looked Nick had just walked in which made even less sence then being entirely random, so I was confused for a bit. Then 2nd, 3rd and What the 'ell ok now everyone by now should know I have some odd pride in my quartet, I consider it mine who knows why, but I do, and on the floor was laying the 4th band trombone quartet who got the only 1 in fact us and the 2nd band got 2's and top got a 3 kind of ironic, and the only band who was anywhere near expected was us. OK so that really didn't bother me I thought it was kind of funny and enjoyed the memory till John started saying it was on pathetic points that they got it and then went to blame our getting a 2 on Kristin now, I quickly was like no they actually have talent if there willing to practice, and then I you know was like no it was all on tuning and left out that half the sheet if not more was entirely about him. Then Kristin found the sheet which I had put on the stand behind her, not wanting it to get thrown away. She blamed us well since I kind of feel like its my quartet I probably took it over personally and with her not there, I mean she was sick so ok its alright to not be there, but Daniel was loaded on meds and we had a 2 min warm up (literally) they were over an hour behind so we hadn't taken out our horns yet 3 till he's like o we moved you guys to this room so you'll be on time (thanks). Even if we did play the test note with the best tuning I think this years 4th trombones will ever achieve. So that was my next What the moment
Then 4th I had done my homework like she had been complaining we needed to and she just kept hitting the same concept over and over I mean its fine but I already got it that was the homework I was falling asleep, but needed to be up because she was so close to the difficult part, but she spent the entire class on one idea. I think the very end she may have covered it. Then she was like I'm checking all the problems, graphs and all, well I had skipped all the graphs I hate them so I was like errrgghh so frustrated.
OK then the day smoothed out, a good kind of What the 'ell was at tennis I surprisingly tied for thirds on the points of the month so got this medium shirt I can't fit into. And the practice was actually warm almost to the point of callling hot for once but I sucked more than normal. OK yea and that morning Imy band binder ran off so I had a listening and had to be like sorry Mr. Brown we got around it though, and he was supposed to give me 50c change,(I had to pay for new music) but some kid stole it, how horrible.

Today well school went awesome, and then coming home was fun. . . and then it went down hill everyone's blog was so depressing from the last time I read it they were all happy then, that was like the beginning of the week though. Then I went from squirm guilt, to yelling in my head guilt, and now I'm ranting so Diedre when you read it yea you might as well ask. Anyone else can to, I might be back to being an open book not sure. Libby might really be mad at me I thought she was joking at first, I think it was cuz I wasn't talking. . .maybe?? not really sure.
Michelle seems the only one with a happy post and Diedre hasn't been on to be like ha now your happy again.
and final rantings Brandon took out the VCR to put in David's gamecube, so now the satelite doesn't work, and David took all his gamecube games to his friends house, so I went back to the SNES ok and then my family made this big thing of getting Stefano's and had to get somthing other than pizza didn't really know what else they had so after this big mess Stefano's guy forgot to put my food in the bag and dinner was over before he came back. Awesomeness :(
Ok Smile of the Day: hugging Diedre
Quote of the Day: Ling: Good job *gives Richard a high
Richard: for last night
a bunch of comments laughing about it, of course Kieran was first
Sara: so that's why you couldn't come over yesterday
Ling *kicks Sara
Good note of the Day: I don't know the above seems pretty good to end on

yay, fun, and dress clothes

yay, fun, and dress clothes sounds like a decent title, for today, umm just a bunch of random yay, and fun things, and AD once again had me stuck in dress clothes.
Today was awesome, some things went wrong but some of those just made the day even better
Ok so start of the day I wake up 6ish ehh go back to sleep, try fail, try again fail so sit and wait, half asleep
mom comes in it's 10 till 7 David you can sleep for 10 more min. . .think to self " o I missed my alarm 15 till 7" . . .10 min later beep beep beep, dang it can she tell time.
Ok so I get up all happy we have milk I finished it last night and forgot to mention it in my house its usally like 3 days before anything will happen otherwise especially without Brandon to complain. Anyhow had cereal David was like shouldn't you wear somthing else and then put the suit on. . .o yea so my mom made me put on my brothers shirt from his Bar Mitzvah, so it's 2 years old and he's 3 years younger, a little tight, but thank-god I"m thinner than him I fit, although the top button was too tight to button while breathing. Ok so off I go to school
Get there and since my stuff was all weird I hadn't put much in my backpack and dropped everything getting out of the car so I'm in this suit picking up papers books, binders, trombone, and some girl asked if I needed help a lot of times I don't worry but yea this time I was like "that would be wonderful", by the time she got there she just gave me a few papers and took my trombone!!!! I can't even get my brother to take that. I never got her name and I don't think I've ever seen her before, but thanks a thousand who ever you are so although I was red with embarrasment by now, yea band people if I was still red thats why, but kindness made it that much better, so ok drop my stuff on in the band hall start walking to Ms. Christy's room and realize I"m supposed to be going to Dr. K and it's 2 till 8 now (supposed to get there at 8), o and also feeling weird about the suit Mrs. Schmidt was less dressed, than I thought, and Charley was there in a scout t-shirt. Mrs. Schmidt makes me go clean off my shoes no papertowels in the restroom I realize big pain get back like 8:15 they then make an announcement all AD members need to mee there we were supposed to leave at 8 but anyhow we left Charley since he wasn't in a suit and Sara got left too so of the 5 there 3 went me Chris and Ling a C, a B the alt. and an A how fun.
We were barely late, to a court hall thing, and then we couldn't find the address wrong thing written on map so we were 15 min late basically conrgrats *give cert., heheh the teachers look like students room laugh *we leave
O on the way there Mrs. Schmidt said not to tell anyone how fast we were going hint hint nudge nudge ok so yea that took us 45 min on the way back everyone wanted to stall, so we went the exact speed limit and got back in 30 that doesn't even fit physics and calc. same dist. higher avg. speed means less time not more whats wrong with this. OK so yea getting back halfway through 4th how about 10 min before 3rd. yea o well I got to complain about that and my suit so much fun I love complaining, lol, no but suits are fun for 2 main reasons you get to complain and cool comments made, o and I learned 10 times more imp. than anything else on a suit is the tie I got so many tie comments.
Ok rest of the day. . .umm not much practice after school was really ready to go home by then. O and in Bio did a pulse lab, o and lunch was tons of fun.
Ok so then I get home, and eat dinner and guys should learn how to cook its a valuable skill, especially in bargaining, usually with women, watch an example, this also will probably only happen in my family or maybe . . .no just mine ok
My brother and my mom decided to have a bargain my mom didn't want to cook so my brother cooks dinner, hamburger helper but hey it works. My brother doesn't want to do homework so. . .now I would think she would say she would do it but nope that would be wrong, she says somthing along the lines of. . .I'ld rather ask Scott questions on the homework than cook. . .I was like what so instead of doing Brandon's homework from him asking it I do it from my mom asking great improvement.
o there were so many other stories can't think of now o well, ( :-* hehe fun fun fun,
ok well this has gone on forever so. . .
Smile of the Day. . . somthing another with Diedre there were a couple that all come close
Thought of the Day. . .nothing seemed resounding but. . . probably either somthing along the lines of embarassment or my brother/mom deal
Quote of the Day. . . "if you don't open your books there might be more dam problems." Mrs. Westerfield; yes it was spelled that way. . .maybe.
. . . "well not that you'll ever go to jail, but if you end up in the court house you can always say the last time I was here was with AD" mom
Good Note. . . Umm. . . breath, its a good thing to do, and umm. . . some people really are nice and wonderful willing to help out when things are wrong, and so when things go wrong they might just be there but if they're not or some one's messing things up just remember they do exist and maybe they're jsut waiting around the corner or maybe the other side of the car.

Liz. . .

ok yea my computer was being mean, it wouldn't let me log on
and the title, well thats one of the last things depressing about yesterday that and my sleep, well or the lack of it, and the lack wasn't depressing more the thoughts in my head then uhh. . .shiver, man I was either crying or dream crying or imaging crying or somthing it had me that upset. O and back to Liz yea she was an awesome friend for a little bit or awesome for how little I got to see her, although yesterday she entirely didn't know who I was, I was like that CLUSY guy helped you with your homework once. Man that was really not cool and pretty depressing to be forgotten by her of all people. I knew people would forget me but not while I was in Highschool its not like its been forever since the last time I talked to her either. It was less than a week ago. O well, so sad one friend down, maybe she'll remeber me or maybe it was her boyfriend just being mean. uh duh duh so sad.
And then the dreams just imaging if I were to commit suicide the notes I'ld write to people and oddly the one to myself was the worst. I"m not really gonna go into it unless asked. Whats weird is like theres absolutely, well other than yesterday being kind of bad and depressing no reason for thoughts like that to pass through my head and it wasn't that bad of a day.
OK so. . .yea cleaned a lot of house had a lot of memories, and even read Mali's blog. . . that was fun. . .
tried stalling from work but ended up doing it.
talked to Diedre, that was fun, forgot about my pre-lab, get to study for the Gov.test tomorrow, and Mrs. Schmidt called yesterday and said, that 8:00 (half an hour before school starts) to be in a suit in Dr.K's (the principle's office) cause some community thingy (I think those were her exact words) invited the AD team to somthing, and we'll miss half the day.
So alright have fun and yea I never got to finish the last post, but o well. Maybe I will but I think it was close enough just to leave it maybe I'll give it some nice note to end on.
smile of the day: looking at the baby picture book and reading the note on the last page (ask me about it if you want to know)
thought of the day: in the beginning "time keeps flying by"
by the end "o. . .no more"
quote of the day or 2: "A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him [or her] I may think aloud."
"The only gift is a portion of thyself."
both are by Ralph Waldo Emerson, I have a quote page from him in front of me.
Ending Good note:
Hey life is fun or it should be live it and enjoy it, get done what should be and smile.

so. . . fast?

Well today definately existed
it really wasn't anything spectacular not too many stories to say
I cleaned my room and managed to stall on aim so thats about all I did.
A few memories I looked at the band from my Freshman year that was impressive, and thinking back last year's band was pretty great too, now I know there wasn't too much of a change from then to now, but this year we were even a comparison, all that are a decent judge will probably disagree, but honestly nothing against the Freshman, but our attitude sucked and if you guys want a chance that first has got to change for next year.
O some awesome memories although back to Robbie Wang, he was an awesome drum major, I still remember sitting there was that Freshman year or just him visiting I'm pretty sure it had to be then but I remember so easily that doesn't seem right, but anyhow he was like you all have to stay at attention no scratching your back other wise it looks like an 800 lb asian scratching his back, He was great, and Troy and man just the whole lot of them.
Some require looking farther back than others, but yea.
I also looked back at all my old teachers.
O yea this was because I found my Freshman year book while cleaning my room
Found somthing on BioInformatics a research thing from Comp. Science. . .I think, and just got to dig through all my stuff I finally fixed the clock, well kind of if anyone remembered that one night I posted how the dripping of rain kept me up so I had to go to a room where I could hear it roaring and not in a pattern to sleep. Yea I plugged that clock back in and realized it had a battery so it never actually stopped, but no the clock I was talking about is in my room is this superman clock Brandon got for his bday awhile ago, anyways, while being frustrated at Kristin not this last time but the time before that, which actually seems like awhile back and slam my fists into the bed and the clock fell, it died along time ago, so its now hanging up again, but umm, doesn't tell time.
Today really wasn't fun though, I turned my chime on cause time seemed to be flying by so fast that didn't help.
I woke up and a little later when I went downstairs my mom was on the phone ranting at first and nearly broke into tears, as I listened I realized she was talking to my gma, but she was like when Scott goes to college I"m gonna go to, and just some things that I can't remember but made me feel bad, and then she was about to say what was wrong but realizing I was in the room and David having just left was probably still in listening dist. she said she'ld say later, well later I learned some idea of what was wrong. She was told by my dad that this Kallah thing was to expensive and she was spending so much so I had already agreed I would pay for my share, well there goes my grandpops money, not sure what Brandon's doing, and she felt all bad and was furious at him during dinner cause they went out to Luby's and she was like your complaining I"m not making any money (she just got a job) and I'm spending to much, and your off eating out, with Brandon, then she went on how if it was anyone it should be him and her not him and Brandon, and by the end Brandon was in the fight, David didn't help dad went out to the garage and some car drove by David was sure it was dad's so mom was furious that it was family time at dinner and he had left (wouldn't be a first time he drove away for the night after a fight, hasn't happened in awhile though). So she was down all of our throats, anyhow so then it was some "syogauge big screen tv" with Mcartney thingy we were gonna go to but Brandon decided he'ld rather just rent a movie and watch it with the family we got Napolean Dynamite so for all you who said I had to see it I did.
I guess I"m weird or rather I know I am, but I don't think it took any of my weirdness to think that was the biggest waste of time ever the funniest part was watching Napolean fall off the fence in fact the only person who liked it was my dad.
O well he's now waiting behind me to use the comp. so off I go I'll finish this tomorrow morning.

Curse of the Scott

This week should be horribly sad Mrs. Simons father in law died, and I feel kind of sick because he was bugging Mrs. Simons Sunday that she should give us a break and give us all 100's on our last test, then died Monday evening, and so I'm benefitting from his death, it makes me feel like puking. She and Mrs. Schmidt are my two favorite teachers this year. Well Mrs. Schmidt announced today to my AD team she was leaving to get her Ph, D. at UTMB I love that school. Then she's gonna teach at a college one of those things like a dog getting adopted, or one of the kids I tutor moving into a real house that should make me happy, but I miss them anyways. I hate things going away memories are bad, but real people are worse. Then my neighbors dad died and his funeral was today I didn't go, don't really know them to well and Mrs. Baldwin sounds like she's getting better, please let that continue.

On a lighter note I really haven't had much time to see Diedre this week :-( , but only one person well kind of 1 and a half have carried good news, but some neutral news goes under I have no time in the next wee. . .2 we. . wait 3 weekends yea the next 3 weekends are filled from Purim stuff, Spring Kallah, Diedre, and probably some other stuff I can't keep track of, a lot of USY stuff.

but the half would be Diedre gets her braces off yay woo hoo, I know what thats like 3rd grade to Freshman year is too long to have metal in your mouth.
Ok so whose left theres Kevin, Robert, and Jason, and no its none of them with good news, but lately I've hung out more with them again. .. fun
theres, Michelle, Ginny, Ari, and Sarah but nope none of them either, theres Kyle,the other Kyle, Daniel, Ryan, Robert, John, Brian man I haven't talked to him in forever, but its none of them either hehe this is fun naming off all my buds and John although sometimes I say he's the biggest pain and I haven't figured out why he's one of the few people who have got me to yell at him, which means I obviously care because the only people I yell at are family and people I consider almost as close like my quartet.
Ok so yea its the only person not mentioned from my quartet the only reason that I should be smiling through all this, not that any of the rest of you dont' make me smile but with people dying and dogs dying and teachers leaving yea I'm sad and this probably isn't good enough reason to make me smile, but its working, oddly though I've just been in a happy mood this week which is kind of a cold bad feeling when so much seems sad around me.
Kristin kind of confuses me though I mean when everythings going fine she's torments me, not purposely of course till I finally learn how to get around it, and then when things seem like everythings dying, she suddenly I don't know. . .maybe I'm too easily manipulated, but smilings good none the less. Ooo this reminds me of another quote hehe somthing about a true friend is one who walks in when everything else walks out. So thanks for being a friend, and the rest of you who have just been my friend through out, thanks to ya'll to I know at times I can be a pain
umm. . .o the curse of the Scott thing is every year I have one of my favorite teachers leave it's always one of my advanced teachers, here are my advanced teachers, and the bold italicized one's the one that no longer works here.
Science Math English
Fish Mrs. Demarcay, Mrs.Casey took regular, thought it was too easy so the next year
Soph Mrs. Garrison, Mrs.Weatherall Ms. Nye
Jun Mr. McGowan, Mrs. Weatherall Mrs. Krajefska
Sen Mrs. Schmidt, Mrs. Westerfield, Mrs. Simons
I have 1/2 coaches left to visit 1/3 AP teachers left 1/4 sceince teachers still work here, who will be left to visit. Mrs. Krajefska was the only one old enough to retire and Mrs. Schmidt's been at the highschool less time than I have.
OK so last thing before I start ending this yesterday I was helping my brother with hebrew last min studying before his hebrew test (hebrew school's on Wendsday & Sunday) anyhow so there was flowers and I had just explained the diff between masculing plural and femine plural and so I was gonna see if he had caught on and from how it was plural I asked if he knew it was masculine or feminine and then I made a joke how flowers were masculine and he was like o of course it makes sense girls love flowers, I just started laughing, and he made sure I knew he was joking.
Ok so. . .
thought of the day. . .where is she & thanks. . .
Smile of the day. . .having a conversation with Kristin with out anything going wrong. . .or so it seemed that way
Quote of the Day. . .yea another magic card
[ "What cage would you rather be inside of than out?"
--Daru riddle]
Ok this is call the Wall of hope so yes hope is the thing you would rather be inside of then out, and the Daru are made up characters in Magic they tend to be people who defend order, and are the majority of the white soldiers, of the well "newer" cards (at least when I was last playing), which are probably outdated by now. The picture's not too important but its a large rolling plains with a bunch of scattered small huts and then a white line with wisps of white . . .smoke coming up (the white is the wall of hope), and an orangish sunset. For those who are interested it's a fast card to play (capable on 1st turn) and gives life for damage it takes, pretty weak can't deal damage, and a little tough.
Good Note of the Day:
You never know whats gonna happen and friends can always surpise you. So smile and hope things work, sometimes though when you give up hope things work out, but never rely on that cause then it never works out that way.
Alright thats the end but i"m gonna rant so yea. . .
Every time I give up after trying as hard as I can and pushing with all I've got when every last care in me has been beaten out, when I've believe nothing will work and truly give up truly withdraw hope and except it, things work out whether it be God, coincidence, luck I don't know, but whatever you want to call it I have a lot of it I'll dub it luck for now. But any time I've ever just been like o things will work out and threw in the towel early. . .yea don't do that never rely on luck bad things happen, because it doesn't really catch you when you fall and you rely on it, yea most my disasters come from either that or somthing I didn't realize when I was confident. So yea, alright done with my rant by and remember
Good NOte of the day: You never know whats gonna happen and friends can always surpise you.

umm. . .not good

Ok yea 2 people have died and maybe a third since Sunday. I hope all their families get on fine. I don't really know any of them very well though, all though I kind of know someone from each family.
Ok today outside of that. . . was decent, but still that kind of saddenned it, Math was kind of funny and remember
"focus is a synonym for SHUT UP"
and well from the breakfast club "of course she's crazy she's. . . " lol ok fun
everyone stopped commenting. . . so sad.
I expected 4 people to talk to me today I got. . . 5 and of the 4 I thought Daniel Ginny Keri and Diedre 3 did, Daniel didn't and I can't believe I forgot Chris would say hi sorry Chris, but Kristin said somthing to and it wasn't mean although I kind of worry I was sorry.
O and I found this thing I meant to post up along time ago and of recently it lost its point and as of now its proabably even dentrimental to put up.
Ok so now I guess I'll finish up
Smile of the Day: "focus is a synonym for shut up"
Thought of the Day: today's kind of a bad day
Quote of the Day: another magic card I've been taking them from white ("the good guys") they tend to have hopeful quotes, anyways this ones:
"The answer to life should never be death; it should always be more life, wrapped tight around us like precious silks."
It's on a card called Silent Attendant it has a picture of a lady wrapped in silks, in front of an opening, and a moon in the background, its really a pretty neat card, I'm probably one of the few who will ever say that though. Not too many find it as close to a favorite as I do.
Good Note: Well your not dead so live with what you have, and if you are you're kind of freaking me out reading this, so for those who still walk this world, lets make our answer to life more life.

School. . .again

Yea school's back and after like Christmas break that might be fun since then I didn't hang out with friends but this break was way too short I hung out with my friends, Diedre, and had free time. So I was definately ready to continue the break, but just about everyone agrees with that so, onward I go. . .
Today was kind of weird, not that my day was far from normal, but everyone else seemed to be having a weird day. Robert looked half exhausted and half like he had just walked out of fight, another person wasn't having a good day and to be honest I've can't remember another day she said wasn't good. 3/3 girls I know of had days less good than normal not a good ratio. Then again all the ones with normal days I wouldn't really know of. And Kevin decided a random friend get together thing, kind of random but the weird part was it wasn't at my house it was at TCBY it was kind of funny though because once again we ended up barging in someone's house just not mine. Sorry Sara Kevin never told Robert he meant outside your and Jason's house
lol, one day we'll all get this right
Ok take that back one of those 3 said her day was good, but poor dogs.
Alright talking to her now and she's much more fun than leaving a message for ya'll so alright I"m done
Thought of the Day: todays weird
Smile of the Day: After seeing Diedre deciding I had more time than just enough to pick up my trombone
Quote of the Day: another magic card
"It's easy to lose sight of hope until you gaze out from my vantage point."
It's called Cloudreach Cavalry and its guy a guy with spear and shield sit on the back a giant bird, the obvious point of the quote is its easy to lose sight of hope, from the point of where we are but when you have a broader picture sometimes. . .hope is not quite lost
That pretty much was my good note, yea don't give up hope, you really don't have the greatest vantage point being stuck in your life, and even those around you might be blind but I promise somewhere theres somthing

Last Day :-(

Todays the last day of the break :-(
Today was great
It started with Diedre taking me to this Petsmart to volunteer, it was fun
O and just a note I could never work at an adoption center I'll explain at the end
The dogs were awesome, I got there a bit tense, yea a bunch of strangers I'm supposed to help out with when I don't know what I'm really doing. Her mom was supposed to supposebly give me some talk, but ehh she didn't, honestly not sure if thats good or bad.
Ok so I wasn't entirely relaxed but I relaxed decently quickly compared to my normal the people were nice, in fact the only thing nicer there was the dogs, hehe.
I was so proud I remembered some names there was Doug, Ms. Joey, William??, Sara, and umm didn't get anyone else's names, that may be most everyone though.
When I got there the first thing they tried to do was name this Dalmation the first name suggested was Bob but one guy was like thats what you put in a suitcase, and then I forgot what he suggested and then the 1st guy said we could do the obvious spot. So when Diedre's mom came they explained it and so she was like ok will flip and if ya then it will be bob otherwise it will be the other name how Spot got lost I'm not sure. So right before she flipped she decided his name was Patrick, it was awesome. lol
Ok then we walked Patrick and Freckles, big dogs, but so much easier to deal with than Gizmo.
They were all awesome and I liked them all but Duke this small 4 month old dog, who was so hyper I thought he would be such a pain. So as I was later just looking at him all hyper, some one was like o you can take him out, I was like ok so I took him out and he started playing with me. By the end he was one of my favorites, I attach so easily to animals as well as people.
Ok so now why I could never really work as a an adoption center person I could probably get over it, but some one was wanting to adopt Duke and I was like o I don't want him to go, I mean I guess its good for them to get adopted the whole point of what I was helping with, but, but, ok yea I probably if I had enough money room and time, would adopt half of them and then looking at the other half would be ahh I'll take them all.
They were awesome it was so much fun.
Unfortunately I think I have like 2 faces laughing and bored, so I just about always seem bored even when I'm having a blast. Thats twice in two days people keep thinking I'm bored. But yea that was fun.
Then we went to her house watched a movie, stupid end, it wouldn't play, then I'm so undecisive when theres two options I can flip a mental coin but against like 50 gabillion movies, umm. . . yea that was about my decision, and Lizzy McGwire right now is freakin me out she has a crush on her Scottish teacher. Ok now theres 5 girls fighting over him all students aaahhhh. . . ok, back to my life
Well actually I guess that was the majority of my day. Then we fed some ducks and she drove me home, I kind of drifted into my own world, kind of half conciouse, yea I tend to do that in car rides expecially when nothings really catching my attention.
O and those dogs were smarter than my old dog Buddy he would always get caught on his leash till he got his legs so entangled, he would have to have us go and untangle him, those dogs managed to untangle any time even one leg got a little tangled, but Gizmo, now he's uber smart (sometimes, usually not) Brandon had some Beef Jerkey so he circled around him till Brandon couldn't move, so I think Brandon gave in a peice of jerkey. lol
So everyone if you've had Spring Break how was it?
if not what do you plan for Spring Break?
Smile of the Day: Playing with Duke
Thought of the Day: These dogs are awesome
Quote of the Day:
1st "Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives" Oscar Wilde once again an awesome quote but not for today, I mean I don't think I even did any thing stupid and I can't honestly say today I did much in noble cause it was more of a noble thing for well I won't say stupid motive, but yea, the motive probably doesn't count as noble.
Real quote: Ok sorry I won't always do this but after searching through my magic cards I found it:
"All animals -- even humans--can be herded. The trick is to make them think they choose their own destination." --Mangara
Ok so yea just the idea of walking the dogs reminded me of the quote I love it. Not always the friendliest but pretty true.
Good note: Heres some great advice find what you love to do, and make constuctive use of it. Vollunteering was so much fun I even thought about randomly some Sunday just showing up, but that might be weird. I'ld need to go ask and do stuff first.

Today was fun, still 2 days ago takes the cake for the best Texan day of the break and if it weren't for the Blueman Group could probably be the best day of the break. Ok still frustrating not being able to think of anything to talk of and actually I finally thought of somthing unfortunately it didn't occur to me till about 2 min too late.
My mom felt all bad, when Diedre left though she was like o I didn't mean to scare her off I . . . and went on and on, I kind of sat there was like ok, it's alright, ok , yes, don't worry, while she went on and on and on, see Diedre your horrible making my mom all worried you should have eaten pizza lol
ok I actually got my homework the rest of the way done today I think it was a little short so I'm sure I missed stuff.
Thought of the Day: I should give her a (insert one [hug, her movies back, that thing I keep forgiving to get her])
Smile of the Day: hearing the doorbell ring
Quote of the Day: O I kind of did that in the previous post but umm well the first one I got to is. . ."You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body." C.S. Lewis , but umm not a good one for today. so. . . after about 10 attempts the most fitting for today is. . .
"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Albert Einstein

Grandparents

Yesterday was not quite as good as the previous day mostly because the day before was just awesome, but pretty much every aspect of it was kind of worse. Alright it was still a fun day, mostly because the day before was so often it half carried over, I got invinted to go bowling with Daniel Ginny, and Siobhan weird way to spell than I always thought it was Chevan. Ok now I decided to call this Grandparents because two nights ago, I got this letter my my Grandad who's dead, and then my living Grandpop gave me a card, that just made my jaw drop. When I called him yesterday well. . . I'll leave that for later ok

I for some reason called the grandparents on my mom's side Grandma, and Grandpa, while on my dads side Grandpop and Grandmom not sure why, but its true. OK so here goes
Grandpa
Well my grandpa was always the nicest guy to me and my brothers he usually was, but he had blood sugar teachers and was sometimes said to be a bit mean and controlling of my grandma, both are incredibly strong willed, and they eventually split up. I remember his small apartment and him taking us to some toy store, and making sure to get us somthing I still remember that small plastic broom type thing, I wasn't too happy then, I wanted action figures, and I always thought his house was boring I was to young at the time to catch on to anything short of getting toys at the time. After getting the letter I tried figuring out how long it had been since he died and at first my guess was 5 years, but looking back that would be the year before my Bar Mitzvah and he was already long dead so probably 7, 8 years back making me 9 or 10, but more realistically it was probably about 10, 11 years back making me 6,7 years old and so I don't have to much of a memory of him, since he lived in Jersey and we usually only visited him for a day or two when we went up. His funeral was supposebly the last time short of this year I saw real snow when it actually stayed on the ground my only read blizzard but I don't remember it.
Ok now for the letter he wrote to me and my parents its on some baige paper with a panda on the top right corner, written in blue cursive, any amounts over $40 I'll leave blanks for. Out of the panda bears mouth is a speech bubble saying Loosen up everyone and write underneath it in printed Black type is MR. IRA M. PENN
underneath that is the date in blue ink 4-19-89 and the letters goes as follows:
Enclosed herein is a check for ____ to be used to get Scott _____ -$35 in 0 Treasure Bonds to mature when he is about 17 years age. By then the bonds should be worth ______ or more to be used for college.
If for some unknown reason he doesn't wish to go to college to be held at interest until he is 25 and more mature.
The other $35 is to get my loving Frandson a gift that he can enjoy for his birthday.
Love to all,
Dad
"over" (Next to the over is a yellow smiley face sicker with eylashes and big cheeks)
The other side:
To my loving grandson Scott,
If by the winds of time, ocean and air, this note survives your 17th brithday; then I want you to know money is but a secondary thing. Love, affection; family, and helath is what I really wish you.
Your dreams shoud be as many as the sands upon the shore. May each and everyone of them "come to pass."
Know if I am not here in body that my love for your mother and father passes directly to you.
Your loving grandad.
Ira
then underneath this are another handwriting probably my mom's.
in blue ink is at 2 yr. old & sand box toy
then pencilled in circled and retraced 1000 times between that and his signature is Sandbox then below then circled below all that still in pencil is 2 milts in 1 and a shaded in heart beside it outside the circle.
Grandma
My grandma visits all the time and I spend tons of time thinking about her so this is all she will get because this is more a tribute to those I haven't thought about as much as I should have.
Grandpop
He sent me a card about my AD but he didn't know what it was called so it just congratulated me and had a check in it I was really blown away thought it was for graduation or somthing. It was a really nice card. So yesterday I called him back and it took about 6 tries before he could understand who I was. Then we started talking, probably the best as in most real conversation with him I'ld ever had, he owns a farm and usually its just farm stuff, I'm not really good with that and the mechanical stuff him and my brother get along with, but I kind of just. . .yea, but ok so he kept telling me how proud of me he was and asked about AD and the band trip and at the end of all this he asked. . .a question that nearly made me barrel over laughing, no one else will find this funny, but me, but he asked if I had a gf his responce to my answer wasn't very clear but it was weird kind of threw me off. He then talked about scholarships and said I would get a bunch, ok and sometime in their he reminded me that my Grandma was proud of me to watching down from above.
Grandmom
She's the only one of my grandparents who anyone can compromise with. Probably the only passive person related to me. So yea me being shy, will probably wear off its a genetic thing (is that possible). Ok so my grandmom is one of the sweetest people I know, and at her funeral I was kind of upset because I wasn't crying or anything, but as I think back on it maybe it was because I knew she was more fit for heaven than here. She was such a help to my Grandpop and while she's been gone his farm has seriously shrunken luckily he got someone else to help him out. She was the first person to die in my life when I was old enough to start understanding death I knew before that I wouldn't see them again, but it was different then. She's been in heaven about 3 years. I love my Grandmom, to peices, and so did my Grandpop. I don't think he'll remarry and the next person I'm going to mention is technically a grandparent.
Janet
Janet's the lady who has helped out my Grandpop I'm pretty confident they live together, and she helps out with the farm and in reality is probably the only reason he's not one of the majority of grandparents who after there spouse dies within 6 months follow. She acts like a grandmom to us and does everything to help out she's full of energy almost keeping up with my grandma one of the most lively, if not most lively person I know other people who compete Diedre, Michelle, and umm yea I think thats it.

OK so those are my grandparents I love them all, and with out them I would not be here today or atleast who I am now.
Thought of the day: So what to do/say (basically trying to figure out what I was gonna do for the day)
Smile of the Day: umm somthing in Hitch, maybe. . .oo no it was watching Siobhan go from dead last to two games later getting first, she got like 50 if even and then had the all time high of the 5 of us in like 5 games with 111. Thats with out getting anything in the 10th either. It was spectacular.
Good Note: Some people may be umm. . .horse's behinds, but the thing is to look past those people and find the people that are really worth being here. and if you can't find them than keep looking theres plenty around sometimes there just hidden in people that you would never
Alright I'm gonna add a quote of the day, I might not always do it, I'll try and use my quote of the day unless I don't like it or it doesn't fit than I'll try and get one or come up with one, unless I"m just that lazy
Quote: "This time, like all times, is a good time, if we but know what to do with it." Ralph Waldo Emerson

umm. . .smile

Smile, happy , happy fun smile yay
Wow today was actually almost a complete waste, and most of it was waiting and trying to think of stuff to say I really need to find more stuff to say
Today was so great. . .and I need to start going outside more often. . .again hmm I miss my trampoline, and tree house thing, and Buddy, and kickball, and being young, and everything else that goes with my backyard except those cockatails not that I don't like them and it would be nice I guess but they just weren't anything to special, maybe they died before I got to like them enough. Ok. . .next
I'm seriously thinking about taking around notepad and paper and writing down things as I think of them I had somthing else about the trip and I lost it again
Well my brother flew for an hour 40 min (it was supposed to 1 hour 20 min for $75) today his first hours of flight training, and he worked it off doing somthing for the guy who gave him a lesson or the plane or somthing, the guy was really nice (set the whole thing up didn't charge any extra) and my moms complaining that my brothers getting paid more than she is.
OK Diedre came over yay, yea that kind of explains the top, sorry if you weren't having fun reading that but I had fun, I still need more to talk about. . .hmm while I'm at it any random ideas will be excepted or not so random ideas work to.
Ok thought of the day :When are they gonna be home
Smile of the Day: hearing a voice that wasn't a 10 year old on my staircase and it being some one twice as tall as David's friends.
Well umm good note of the day. . .umm have fun life is or atleast can be great
Alright so smile and don't have a good night have a spectacular night

Then we went to Chinatown that was more fun that I would have thought not much better than the boats though
Dinner was interesting chopsticks I almost got down. . .again ehh I'll forget the next time I try and use them
Then we went to the waz museum the beginning was pretty awesome and then it went downhill, that seemed to happen a lot this trip but o well the beginnings were good enough to carry the rest of it
Then locked in our rooms by 10:30
We played Texas Hold Em first with Ginny but after we had to go in our rooms I don't think the chaperones would have been ok with it, we played till just abou everyone fell asleep oddly this was the night where sleep didn't matter since we were leaving tomorrow but this was the most sleep pretty much each of us got yet
Ok so then the art museum really not art person but hanging out with Charlotte Chris and Katie was fun and getting to see some of that dang AD stuff
OK then we went home and the next post explains the plane stuff.
Ok fun stuff
before we took off we were playing cards and I said I had another deck it was bush cards I'm not much of a Bush fan, but ehh thats what I had, so since were Friendswood everyone else liked Bush so they decided since we were playing with 2 decks that if the same card came up twice Bush cards would be higher ok the conv. went
one girl "Bush beats Red"
one guy "so Bush is high"
another guy "yep, probably"
ok next while we were on a tour there was this lightning guy and when we found him he was half over an edge and we were all like don't joke and so he told us when he was done he would answer questions this went like
#1: Are you afraid of height?
L : yes, absolutely
#2:Have you ever fallen
L : Gravity's a bitch. . .(10 sec later after our laughter died down) actually more accurately things have fallen on me
Chris: but you never fell on a piano
Heather: I've never heard that word before
Trey: Gravity??
and then He told us the play we were gonna see was called Endless Bummer by his crew.

I'm back

I got back home at 12:01 o and pretend this is still Tuesday ok so here goes. . .
I'll tell most about the trip tomorrow as times limited but. . .
They said we wouldn't be delayed and the other plane would have a 2 hour delay
No delay my a. . umm behind
We were supposed to leave at 4:30
We got on the plane "a few minutes" late, but. . .
We didn't actually begin take off stuff till about 7:05 thats the first time I've ever seen a snowed out airfield, or seen the wing next to me get de-iced.
so it was about a 2 and a half hour delay which is pretty much why we got back 11:40ish as opposed to 9:00 and then getting the luggage mess was still more time
OK so everybody on plane 2 have fun. since they didn't leave till I think I heard 8:45ish meaning they won't land till about 12:30, so guessing on that they'll be home 3 in the morning.
O and all you band kids tell me what you thought the best part of the trip Blue Man Group doesn't count; worst part of the trip; some random fact, story, etc; and anything else you feel like saying thanks.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Schmidt

WOW its already my last post for awhile.
Yep and YAY Spring Trip is tomorrow.
We're off to see the wizzz. . umm not wizard. . . uhh Blue man group and rest of NY
ok now this kind of annoys me last week we finshed AD we've been studying this stuff since like the end of May, and all of the peices from the Art section were from the Metropolitan Museum which were now going to visit, its one week too late, I mean couldn't the competition be like next week instead of last week. but o well no more studying that stuff.
I judged the science fair for the intermediate school (4th,5th, and 6th) some were incredibly good, others umm. . .yea, atleast they said somthing, but uhh they wouldn't shut up, hint for all people don't read the entire bored, procedure, results, exspecially if its monotone, and you follow it with a ruler, and have to stop to find stuff, yea and please not word for word others who have their back to the bored had a marvelous presentation that were better than half the Jr. High presentations.
"Brandon, don't-- your wasting fuel. . .and you could burn down the house" says David, odd that burning down the house was only an afterthought to why playing with a lighter was bad. Thats my family for ya.
Lately I've actually spent time half singing not real songs, but just made up things as I go, their usually weird and with me I can't go too long on any thought without bashing myself, but lately these are pretty positive, like today after being left at Bales, I actually enjoyed the time alone, I forgot what really being actually alone as opposed to just pretending no one is there is like real peace and quiet, and freedom to go wherever, with just a breeze it was wonderful, I started singing about how detailed reality was more in nature, and then it went to how simple me a single life was in comparison, and then that was a pretty long time that was about the time I started bashing myself but it was pretty light and I was smiling, so it was all good.
OK yea lately its been so light pressure that I've had a lot more time to think, I mean no 1st period, 2nd doing nothing, 3rd hearing the same anouncements for the 1st half of class. 5th was Mrs. Schmidts Birthday so we had a Harry Potter party totally not on the schedule so the entire chapter is now take home instead of just most of it. then lunch which never requires too much thought just have fun and eat, and don't do anything too stupid. Then english last real class of the day and lab management loaded with time to just think about things.
Smile of the Day: seeing Diedre at lunch
Thought of the Day: hmm. . .so I guess trying to be Kristin's friend at Spring Trip is a bad idea. . .should I ask. . umm maybe not??
Yay things are going well I"m not depressed, smile, smile, smile, I seem to have some importance at the moment.
OK so now yea I"m done embarassing myself I'm even telling yall I sing ok
so umm. . .yea lets see so a good note for the next 5 days
Friday: smile
Saturday: think of the last great moment you can remember
Sunday: think of your happiest moments of all time in the last year and life long
Monday: think of some happy moment with someone you carry about
Tuesday: think of some improvement you've made to someone, or somthing, and know ya might get a chance to do somthing later.
Ok well have fun everyone, hopefully as much as me, or maybe even more hehe

OK its me I haven't had any time in awhile I finally have some not enough to cover everything thats been missed but I'll cover a bunch.
So first off I didn't post Friday or Saturday having been in San Antonio competing at Academic Decathlon state.
Well Friday started with an essay best essay I've written for AD I got 725/1000 and didn't finish the last sent. Normally I get 550 to 650. Then we went back to the hotel for awhile, and then later that night we were one of the last people to do Interview and Speech. So I go in to do my Interview and I get asked a few questions like what are your values, what is the value of competition in society I answered somthing like competition is what drives people to also improve themselves, otherwise people become happy as they are and cease to try and improve I took a bit longer and not as artful language. I had some mistakes but it was pretty good. Then the final question one that should be really easy but nearly killed me. . ."If you were in our shoes what question would you ask yourself, and what would your answer be?" We were told to pause 3 sec before answering it must have been 3 min before I answered, I always try to keep creative answers to questions like mine, but I asked,
What was the greatest impact in your life?
and my answer was my parents (how bland is that, I even paused again before giving my answer) so then I said how my mom pushed me and that one of my personal flaws was I"m not competitive so when I get to college I'm going to call home and be like mom I need some more motivation. They all laughed and then I went on to how my dad did the rest. The guy made a special comment to me when I was done about always being competitive I thought I had screwed up, but. . . They obviously loved I got a silver in Interview, and a score of 973.3/1000
Next was my speech the speech was awesome then the impromptu part, 2 options were bogus so I went with the only one left name some lesson you were taught by an elderly person, I had just my grandparents and that would be the same thing they had heard all night,so I decided my rabbi would be elderly, it had a wonderful intro, and then I realized I was going on and on and never got to my point so I went to get to it and I froze for like 20 sec it was horrible since the whole thing is only a 1min 30 sec-2 min, anyways I recovered decently not at the level of my speech but still decent and ended with a 953/1000
Ok we ate at The Magic Time Machine, Kieran. . .well was Kieran restrained but himself, so yea ya'll should ask about that.

Saturday the next morning, was the test day
We took 7 tests
Math went pretty well out of 25 questions I had about 9 left when they shouted 5 min so I went down and bubbled B D I had time to check 4 of them and they were all already guessed right awesome I ended up getting 14 right which tied for 2nd
Then was Music that was decent got 700
We got a 30 min break then went to Economics I thought it went ok but I got a 720 and tied for a silver with the same guy I tied for in math he turned out to be the top C in the state.
Finally was my thought worst test Social Science yea that was bad, I got a 5?? or 6?? somthing
Ok long break for lunch
Now was lang/lit I thought it was decent
The Art test I thought went pretty well. . .but umm it was my lowest score
Finally was Superquiz/Astronomy Written that was the only score that was much lower than expected
Ok So for Superquiz relay we get 5 questions while everyone stares at our backs and we see right then if were right or wrong its worth 60 points a question. I only got the 1st and last and never even answered the 3rd I was debating and the 7 sec came too soon as I put my pencil to circle the right answer the bell rang.

Ok so that night we went to Dave and Busters and we hadn't been told any of our scores yet and one of our coaches had seen all of them when asked to smile she wouldn't and she just said our scores had been static from regionals they hadn't changed enough, we had like 2000 point lead on our rival school, so that really worried us. We all assumed we had lost, and some one said 13 was unlucky this was supposed to be our 13th time to win state in a row. So I of course was telling him 13 was lucky so I decided to explain how in Judaism 13's lucky with the Bar Mitzvah age and all, so then since they were always scape goats and hated since we called it lucky it had to be unlucky, so now its remembered as an unlucky number. O and that reminds me of earlier on the bus Kieran's an aetheist and I'm Jewish and Sarah as well as everyone else is on the bus is Christian. . .ok so Sarah says somthing about how she believes all people can do anything any other person can do but its easier for some people, and Kieran responds well can you fly, and she goes no no one can fly and he goes ok well Jesus walked on water can you walk on water, (Kieran's one of those smart alec kids 20 times smarter than any one else but he's still fun) any how so I"m incredibly quiet, but i but in with "ehh, he cheated Jesus used floatees" the whole back of the bus started cracking up and was like no one else could have said that and it be funny. Ok so you probably had to be there for it to be funny
So then yea I think everyone heard how our Dave and Busters thing and the other thing I made sure not to tell other people managed to spread I even had a teacher ask me about it so if you want to know about somthing that I either told you I couldn't say or just somthing about AD most likely if youre willing to ask me I"ll answer since I figure there are a pretty limited number of people who would ask or questions I wouldn't answer, just don't get offended if I don't.
OK so then was Sunday the award ceremony got home 6:00 had a bonfire burned a bunch of our study stuff o and I decided I was going to give. . .o its supposed to be a surprise, but lets see I made a list of people I wanted to take with me to help in each subject they are. . .
Lets see
essay. . .hmm thats hard I'ld probably drag with me Sara or Zoe which ever would be more willing to help
Interview. . . hmm. . .well since I metaled I'll just be happy with where it was
Speech/Impromtu. . . Rodrigo
Math. . . umm yea lets leave that one to me, I also metaled
Music. . . Kevin
Economics. . . umm once again I'll leave that one to me, my last metal
Social Science . . .umm hmm. . .just about anyone would be an improvement so umm. . .Kristin she's one of those people thats a lot smarter than me, but much more rounded, plus even if she doesn't like to be around me I still like having her around
Lang/ Lit . . .also bad area for me, but umm whoever Zoe or Sara I haven't already taken
Art. . . hehe Diedre
Superquiz. . .Robert

Ok then yesterday umm yea I actually wrote somthing I kept short that was incredibly difficult as you guys can tell I don't like to type short things escpecially when theres a lot I want to say and yea. . .so ok

Alright well to finish up Spring trip is coming up, and I got this not so cool review of my thoughts on Kristin I went from going as her boy friend, to going as a friend, to now umm. . .well she once said anyone who's not an enemy is a friend,and I don't think I'm even a friend at the moment. yea that sucks I hope that changes in 3 days but hehe yea right the only change I've ever seen happen that fast was a negative one

OK so no 1000 excuses, but alright those finishing things
smile of the day. . .really weird actually walking to the band hall knowing the moment I got there I would feel too guilty to be happy,
thought of the day. . .o you didn't read that umm. . . I won't screw up again. . .that was in there
ok I think I'm the only one that wants more time between now and Springbreak for a couple of reasons. I could mention them, but I won't right now
So everyone yea don't be as exhausted as I am and umm. . .keep hope even if its a false one, it will carry you to the next real one, so smile somthing can always go right, unless things are that perfect than you don't need any special good note.
