The album is just as good as the album cover.

The break sucked but not as much as school. Now tomorrow I have to finish the mythology book, write a few pages on theories of global warming, complete a biology packet, mat a picture, and study for a math quiz because I was too busy sitting around doing nothing when I had free time. And I’m probably only gonna do one or two of those things on the list. I bought the first trade paperback of the Sandman yesterday. It’s pretty cool.

I’ve been thinking about what my favorite song is and I think that this is my favorite song. You probably think it sucks.

Last night was my dad’s birthday so my family went out to eat sushi. It was the first time I’ve been out of the house in over a month now that I think of it.

AGRO – Anti-Gravity Relaxation Organization is doing a suspensions show
December 5th at the Southmore House
People will PUT HOOKS IN THEIR BACKS and then HANG FROM THE CEILING
I’m sort of confused about it because the Southmore House thing says that they put hooks in “audience members” and I don’t want anybody putting hooks in my back.
You should go because I’ll be there anyway and if they try to put a hook in my back then I’ll just leave. I’ve never been to the [new] Southmore House even though it’s a mere bike ride’s distance away and It’ll take less than 5 minutes to get there.

I have a bad habit of leaving AIM open without an away message when I leave. Marsha or Andrew or Stephanie always send me messages when I’m gone but every time I’m present they’re already gone.

When will I be cool?

yeah…

I haven’t updated in a while but I’ve been busy with school and stuff. I finished my English presentation about Cronus and the TItans which was awesome because I used a Blind Guardian song “Battlefield” because it was all Clash of the Titans-like.

I still haven’t started my geography project which Mr. Green gave us 2 months to do and it’s due in about 2 weeks. I’m lazy and a whiner and waste too much time not doing schoolwork and a few kids at school are sort of anticipating some screenplay I told them I’d start sometime soon. I bet it’s gonna suck.

Last Sunday I went to Best Buy and bought some movies because I had a coupon for 10% off everything.

For some reason, Seven Samurai was like $40 and it was only one disc so that kinda sucked.

Today was weird. In 5th period study lab, as soon as I got in, I gave the teacher my schedule and then sat down and went to sleep. I woke up not knowing what time it was and I noticed that every single person in the room was gone except for the teacher. I was thinking “Oh crap I just fell asleep straight past the period” and I see that my schedule is the only one on his desk so I just stumble up there and grab it, still half-asleep. I walk to the door and once I’m oustide, I check my watch and I notice that I still have 45 minutes until fifth period was over. I just walked over to a table outside and fell asleep again and I hear something and I see Travis there and the period is almost over so we walk over to the Challenge building. I see Elle and Miles there and Elle wanted to go to Music Club with us so she comes. It was boring there so she convinced us to go to Ms. Goodman’s room and I hear everyone talk about comparing Challenge to a regular high school and what it’s like to teach and learn and stuff. I don’t know Ms. Goodman at all and I learned that she’s really cool and I told her my favorite subject this year was English with Mr. Silberman and how I liked my English class last year and I found out that Ms. Goodman knows Ms. Crowley. Insane.

Today was OK. I had 2 study labs, 2 clubs, and geometry (where we don’t do anything) so it was one of those cool Fridays. I almost hit Mr. Webster in the face this morning when I picked up my guitar bag by the side-handle and didn’t see that he was behind me. I think he’s mad at us because Miles and Andrew were skating/loitering in the parking lot when they weren’t supposed to and we were in the back of the multipurpose room when we weren’t supposed and I almost hit him in the face when I wasn’t supposed to. We’re gonna buy him coffee and a donut next week to make up for it.

I got bummed out during lunch, though, because Andrew, Miles, and I usually practice in Mrs. De La Ossa’s room during lunch and they opened up new buildings this week so Mrs. De La Ossa has a new room. The new room is perfect, too. It’s basically hollow and the power outlets aren’t blocked by anything and there aren’t many people around that area. When we had our first class in the new room earlier this week, I asked her if it was OK if we practice there during lunch on Fridays and she said she trusted us so it was fine with her. So anyway, we go to her room when lunch started with our amps and guitars and stuff and she said “Oh, so you’re playing here today? That’s OK, just eat outside” so we just dropped off our stuff there and went outside to eat lunch. Caleb usually helps us set up and pack up and stuff, so Caleb and I finish our lunch and then go to Ms. De La Ossa’s room and we plug everything in and then I was about to plug in my bass when Mr. Green walks in. He says “Ms. De La Ossa isn’t in here, is she?” and we were like “No” so he told us to get out. Caleb and I just left and sat on the steps. It sucks. I took the trouble to set everything up and asked her if we could practice there and then Mr. Green tells us to get out. It’s not even his room and we have permission to be there alone and he doesn’t know any of that.

Andrew and I just came back from shopping. Sara was gonna go with us but she couldn’t but Andrew and I saw Quinn and Morgan and Elaine there. We didn’t buy anything.

I like my new icon.
