Ben Kweller – Believer

This song makes me so sad like this emoticon :’(

Anywho, I forgot to mention this kid I was talking to yesterday, he was a sophomore, and he had this tattoo of a cross on his left arm. It wasn’t very cool or anything but it was actually pretty well done. I gave him my compass so he could tattoo his forearm with the little need thing. I heard we get our actual gemoetry teacher tomorrow since our current teacher is on maternity leave. I’m gonna miss having a substitute everyday. Some kids asked if they could shave my head at lunch today and I said no. Then they stepped a little closer and asked again but before they could finish I pulled out a knife and asked them if I could shave their throats. Then they stepped away. OK that didn’t really happen but some kids did ask to shave my head and I said no. One of them was wearing a Thursday shirt and I wanted to laugh at him but I didn’t because he could beat me up.

I tried watch Edward Scissorhands on Saturday but I could never finish it all the way through. It made a lot of people cry, I hear. Even Tim Burton. I wanna cry, dammit.

School’s kind of OK because I barely have any homework. Lunch was so geeky because Ryan and David were playing Magic: The Gathering on one table and I sat by myself with my laptop playing King’s Quest. I got Brick down. My teacher tells me I should consider singing. I don’t know if I should.

I’ve been toying around with my layout for a few hours now. I got the image map I wanted but I want to align it all the way to the right hand side of the screen but I can’t figure out how to do that.

OK I kind of got it how I want it now so get off your Friends’ page and look at it.

It’s almost Saturday now. I’m not sure if it came fast or slow. Morgan was listening to her CD player in study lab and I asked her what was in it and she said something I couldn’t understand and then she opened her CD player, revealing an all white disc with nothing written on it. I asked again and she said “You wouldn’t know the…they’re Icelandic..” so I said “Sigur Ros?” and she said “Yeah”. Sigur Ros are really popular and I’m not really sure why she would think I wouldn’t know them because I’m a snob about that kind of stuff. We talked about gay Jonsi and his cello bow. I let Elaine wear my jacket and I was trying to tell her about the anti-DeadHead iron-on I put on the back but she doesn’t really understand it. I don’t know what there is or isn’t to understand. My English teacher listened to a lot of black metal when he was in his late high school years. I remember some girl was wearing a stenciled I Hate Myself shirt a while back and I saw some girl today wearing an Everytime I Die shirt and then I realized they were the same person. She hangs around Jordan a lot, who is constantly unshaven and has dreads and wears tie-dye and Grateful Dead merchandise. Today he was wearing a Pennywise shirt. They suck a lot. I like tshirts a lot or maybe I just notice them because I like judging people by the way they dress.

I’m not allowed to go to concerts alone so I’ve missed a lot. I’ve missed a lot of movies though. I’m thinking of going to the movies by myself now because there really isn’t a reason on why I shouldn’t. Maybe I’ll go see The Life Aquatic by myself. I hope it plays at the Angelika because they sold me a Lost in Translation ticket even though I wasn’t with a parent or 17. Maybe all theatres are like that, I’m not sure.

I started learning “Brick” by Ben Folds Five on Monday. I’m so frustrated and I can’t get anything right after the 3rd measure. I think I’m a happy guy really.

My art teacher wants to put me in Art 2 because she thinks my art is that good. I don’t know if I should accept.

I took my college placement test today for the West Loop Houston Community College. I finished typing up the essay the program told me to write and then I clicked “Submit” and I thought I was done but then there was an error so I just went back to class.

I tried doing my hair last night so it wouldn’t go over my eyes but it ended up all scene trashy and stupider than I already look. I’m gonna cut it all off.
