Summer Trips

2007-02-09T13:11:00.000-05:00

This summer I would like to go on some trips around the area. So far my list includes Niagara Falls and Cape May, NJ. If anyone has another ideas, please just throw them out there. I would like to see who would like to go on these trips with me. I will be making both trips regardless of who is coming. If we go to Canada, I hear the drinking age is 19 years old. That might be a motivation for some to cross the border. Any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome.

Just Got Hitched

2006-12-09T13:12:00.000-05:00

Last night was the Holiday Party for the Drexel Ambassadors. It was lots of fun. Brittany Cormack was in charge of the whole thing. She did an excellent job. It was recommended that some people bring stuff for additional food. I decided that I would chocolate cover some stuff. I ended up commissioning two overnight students, Jeff and Alex, and the other Ambassador Brittany. Brittany G. and I went to the Fresh Grocer to pick up some other stuff to chocolate cover. We thought that we needed to save a few pennies since we are college kids, so Brittany signed us up for a Rewards Card. She signed us up under her name, but apparently we are Brian and Brittany Gillow now. I already complained about how we should have changed it to my last name. Oh well. So we decided to make it official on facebook aka stalkerbook. So just so everyone knows, we were officially married in the Fresh Grocer. I think we are planning on an excursion to the Franklin Institute to see the Evolution exhibit. (Brittany is a real nerd. Check out her facebook if you don't believe me.) She told me she wants a divorce already, so I decided that we are going to end this violently in the giant heart at the institute. I can't wait to go, although I will miss the wifey. Oh well. Other than that, life is good. I can't wait to get home for Holiday Break. I am really excited to hang out with some special people on New Years. If you would like to hang out with me over break, just call or text me and I'll see if I can fit you in my extremely busy schedule. Well time to shove off to Wawa.

Facebook Whores & I'm One Too

2006-11-09T13:38:00.000-05:00

I just recently uploaded some pictures onto Facebook. It seems that a lot of people spend their time on Facebook. I know that I am guilty of this little pleasure. Stalkerbook just makes my life so much easier. Right now I'm just trying to stay awake in Math 200. It is always a challenge trying to stay awake. I'm actually glad I brought my laptop. It allows me to zone in and out. I really don't have much to say really. I get out of here in about ten minutes or so. Next, I have Chem 101, and I plan on pulling my baby out just to ensure that I don't fall asleep.

Note: I always want to end my posts with "Stay classy," but then I feel guilty because that is straight theft from both a movie and Chris Droesch. I'm not going to feel guilty about it, so I'm not going to say it.

Halloween and Such

2006-10-29T00:40:00.000-04:00

I am currently procrastinating from doing my homework. The way I see it, I have all tomorrow to my homework. Yesterday, the girls of W517 had a halloween party. It was a good time. Justin made a trek in the rain to come and see me. He was invited to the party, but only because I'm so cool. I went as a dirty old man. I know that everyone is thinking.. "wow you must have tried really hard to get into that character." Everyone would be right. It took a lot of effort on my part to do that. I changed my profile picture to reflect the ingenius idea I had for a photo. Rose being the wonderful girl that she is, took the picture for me. I didn't end up going out tonight or last night. I just didn't feel like it either night. Sometimes going out to party all the time is overrated. I only go out when I feel like it... which is hardly ever. So don't expect to see me at any college parties. Well I am going to go and watch a movie with Pina and Andrea. Have a good time at high school and college.

College Life

2006-10-04T18:15:00.000-04:00

I am currently sitting my dorm room at the moment. I just got back from dinner with some 5W kids. I really am enjoying myself at college. Sarah posted on my facebook wall the other day and stated that she would like to read a post. I hope this is good enough for you. Today, I had to call Dell Tech Support. My laptop had a "hardware malfunction." This was the second day this week. My computer also locks up from time to time also. It just makes me angry on quite a few levels. It turned out that the error was generally associated with Dell servers. The tech support guy, which happened to be from the Philappines, said he didn't know why I was getting the error. I got to take out both of my ram chips. It was a good time. I have a direct number to call next time the error occurs. I just hope it doesn't occur again. Well I have an english paper to write that is due tomorrow. I hope everyone is enjoy college and high school.

Day Three

2006-08-14T23:10:00.000-04:00

Today I woke up around ten o'clock. I had some "oats" as Bill would call them. I went down to the beach to use the boogie board a bit. I thought if I used it long enough, it would tan/burn my back so that I would match from all sides. The waves were terrible so I just came back to shore. I sat around and talked with my extended family members then returned to my living quarters. My family was going to meet my cousin at the Olive Garden for dinner, so we had to hurry to get there on time. When we got there, my cousin was no where in sight. Apparently there are multiple Olive Gardens in Myrtle Beach, but thankfully she didn't end up at another one. My cousin added a few more people to her list, so she was running a bit late. The group went from eight to sixteen in about thirty seconds. The hostess just laughed at us. I called Slean up to find out what was good for dinner. She gave me her favorite so I ordered that as my meal. The salad and breadsticks were amazing as usual. The meal she suggested was fair. I don't think I'd order it again. Well whatever. My family just got back from walking Main Street. When I think of Main Street, I think of the hustle and bustle of a town. This street was dead. I'll get over it, but only because I got ice cream. Well it is almost midnight right now, which means I am meeting the extended family on the beach for song and dance. I won't dance or sing, but I will laugh at all the crazies. Enjoy life my children of the corn.

First & Second Day

2006-08-14T00:49:00.000-04:00

Well yesterday I pulled into wonderful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was raining when we checked into our condo. I tried to meet up with Julia, but she was too cool to hang out with me. Oh and my mom was being a DB. She wouldn't let me leave. So I ended up just staying here. Today, the weather was wonderful. Julia left this morning. I went to the beach for a little bit. Well I got about one page of my summer reading for Drexel completed. The sun was too bright, so I just went to sleep. I ended up getting burnt. My family decided to go out to this little Italian place for dinner. I can't remember the name at the moment though. They crossed our name off the list without ever calling us. Lori almost lost it on some guy that had no idea what was going on at the moment. So we left and went to good ol' Hamburger Joe's. I love that place. Although my lips felt as if they were on fire, I love them. Hamburger (as my mom would call them) is like ten times better than Quaker Steak and Lube. I know some may not understand this, but it is true. I just got back from the beach where my family was sitting around in a circle singing and dancing to my cousin playing on the guitar. It was a good time. I hope to keep updating this blog as much as possible. I also hope Sarah is enjoying each and every post I have and will make.

France / Orientation

2006-07-28T14:24:00.000-04:00

Well I just returned from my trip to France. I still have to post those pictures, but I have them printed. I printed 290 photos at Walmart. It was a good time. Just call me sometime, and I'll bring my photos along. More recently, I had my orientation at Drexel. I met some cool kids. I am excited to go. I highly suggest that everyone going to college or currently enrolled in high school get a Facebook. It is kinda like MySpace but not as terrible. I enjoyed myself at orientation. I hope everyone is ready to return to college. Feel free to call me a week or so after you get to college. I'll need sometime to do since I don't move in until September 21st or so. Enjoy your summer folks.

Always Falling Behind

2006-05-25T21:44:00.000-04:00

Recently I have been quite busy with school and such so I haven't been able to update my blog. I really have thought about doing it though. Sarah (like usual) reminded me to update it. So this is for her. Since my last post I have been to my Senior Prom and Senior Dinner Dance. I linked both of those so that everyone can look at my beautiful pictures. I omitted the after parties of both because some people didn't want their picture posted. I have also made a new friend named Jon Bastian. He is a good kid. He had a wonderful little movie in his info for awhile. It was on YouTube. So here is that link too. YouTube - Evolution of Dance. School is almost over for me. I just can't wait until summer. Maybe this summer I won't work much, and I can have a life. I'd like to end on a good quote I just randomly popped into my head. "You stay classy, San Diego." Just apply it to your hometown, and it is all good.

Long Time, No Real Update

2006-04-21T20:16:00.000-04:00

Thanks to Sarah, I noticed that I haven't updated in quite some time. I just wanted to make her life a little bit better by doing so. Today I went on a field trip to the Frick Art Museum. Track is going well. The guys and girls are undefeated as of now. Personally, I am also doing quite well. I finally decided upon a college/university to attend next year. I decided upon Drexel. I filled out my housing application, and I sent in my Honors College application. I just can't wait to go to Philadelphia. Well I have plenty of other matters to attend to this evening. I hope everyone is fairing well.

Tanning Man Day 2

2006-03-25T13:37:00.000-05:00

Today was my second day of "fake baking." My Prom date got her dress last night. It is a baby blue-like color. She has to show me eventually. I heard that she looks like Jasmine from Aladdin. I am excited for my own Disney Princess. I am thoroughly enjoying play (or as Anne would like to have it called: the musical). I have quite a bit of homework to do. I am planning on spanning it out over today and tomorrow. I would like to take a nap though. I might nap then homework. I'm not positive on how it is going to go down right now. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Stress and ProtoPage

2006-03-13T00:14:00.000-05:00

I recently have decided to include myself in more activities. I am currently involved in: Play, Track, YB, Newspaper, and school. It may not look like much, but to me, it is killer. I haven't gotten a good night sleep in who knows how long. I just know that I am enjoying myself. I was surfing the web this weekend for some random reason. I think I might have just been procrastinating. I usually do that. I found some really cool sites. Most are built on AJAX. You can read about it at my new start page. The link is here. I really like it. Everyone can bookmark my public pages. I set what I want everyone to see. I am really excited for Web 2.0. It has to be the "best thing since sliced bread." I had to say that. Well it is time for bed. I have to get up early to study for a French conversation test tomorrow. Night!

Facebook

2006-03-01T06:39:00.000-05:00

Recently, I was informed that Facebook had an update. I was expecting that maybe they would have merged my school together. Facebook had it under two listings in two different cities. I arrived at the site and noticed that they were asking me to re-enter some information. So I answered all the questions. I just thought my account was frozen due to inactivity, but that was not the case. Facebook finally merged the high school and college books. I had about eight requests from my college friends. I was so excited. Then I proceeded to look for everyone that went to my school in the past that I knew. I found like ten to fifteen more. It was a good day. Now I just can't stop going to the site. It is just so great. Here is a link for the main page just so that everyone can get there from my site.

Free Money$$

2006-02-22T18:55:00.000-05:00

I just got off the phone with a Drexel Alumni. He told me about how great Drexel was. I also was recently sent a letter about a scholarship that I might get from Drexel. It is either close to it or a full ride. If I get it, I'm most definately going there. I have to go for an interview on March 5th to see if I got the scholarship. The alumni told me that he recommended me for a grant that the school gives away. The grant is for $1000. I was so excited considering that is oen thousand less dollars that I have to pay. Well I have play tonight from 845 to 10, so I'm off to do my gov homework. I just want to pass out because I'm so tired for some reason. I hope that everyone is doing well with their college search.

Mason's Being A Bitch

2006-02-06T11:40:00.000-05:00

Since Mason is being his usual self about posting, here we go. I have been working on my research paper all weekend. I didn't do much other than that, work, and the SuperBowl. I'm glad the Steelers won, because now there wasn't as many suicides in the city of Pittsburgh. It is always nice to keep people around, unless it is causing overpopulation. Well I haven't done any programmming things recently. I do get to beta test Mason's ConnectFour game once he finishes it. Well the bell just rang, so I'm off to Big Lou's class.

Great Quote

2006-01-28T21:32:00.000-05:00

I just found one of the greatest quotes for one of my favorite TV Shows. I just hope that everyone will be able to guess which show that is...

Male: If things do get too rough, we'll have a control word. If one of us says it, the other backs off immediately.
Female: Okay. So what's our control word?
Male: Well, lately I've been using "Philadelphia". What's wrong?
Female: Well, it's just that my Aunt Fern lives in Philadelphia, and I don't want to be thinking about her while I'm spanking you with a leather strap.
Male: Okay. Fine. You pick a control word.
Female: Um, how about "Boise"?
Male: "Boise"?
Female: What's the matter with "Boise"?
Male: We're going to be doing psychological role playing here, Female, and a funny word like "Boise" would ruin the mood. We need something that sounds serious.
Female: Hmm. [sombre tone] How about "Palestine"?
Male: "Boise" will be just fine.

Kudos To Mason

2006-01-24T22:41:00.000-05:00

I am really proud of Mason for purchasing his own domain. His blog can be found here. I would also like to point out that AK brought to my attention that my postings usually start with "Well." I would like to respond to her and say that this one begins with "I." So she can suck on 'em. Click here to let her know how I feel.

Long Weekend & Last.fm

2006-01-15T23:32:00.000-05:00

Well this weekend has been quite long. I really needed it considering that DL High decided to only have a one week Christmas break. Most of the time, I have been playing Uplink. It is such a great game. I have downloaded a mod for it called Onlink. It is even better than the original. So needless to say, I haven't accomplished much homework yet this weekend. I do know that tomorrow is going to be work intensive. I need to get it all done for the upcoming week. I have so much to do. I did go to EnP last night with a group of friends. I mass text messaged people. I sent out 47 text messages, I believe. It was a moderate turnout. I was pleased. I also am very happy about something that Smith showed me. It is called Last.fm. It is a site that shows what music I am listening to, then suggests music that is about the same. I really enjoy it. I'll have to update my side bar with links and such. Now that I think of it. I never did update my site layout like I thought of doing before. Oh well. Night all.

Interview

2006-01-11T06:36:00.000-05:00

Well yesterday I had my interview for University of Pennsylvania. He suggested that it should be at Starbucks. I was expecting the worst with this guy. I got in line to get a coffee and he just walked up to me and introduced himself. The questions weren't as hard as I thought they were going to be. I have had an interview that was 10x harder than this one. The first half of it was kinda awkward, but only because I couldn't really say anything extra other than what he questioned me on. The second 1/2 went much better because I could ask questions to him. He was really nice (most old men are either grumpy or really nice). We ended up laughing at some of the random Penn stories that he had to tell me. He also asked where Penn was on my list of schools to attend. I never really 100% thought about it, but if I get in to Penn, then I'm most definately going. I really like the idea of Penn. Yeah that is all I'm going to say. I could just go off on a tangent and that really isn't needed at this point. Well I guess I should get ready for school since I have to do that again today.

Holiday Break 2005

2006-01-02T07:02:00.000-05:00

Well apparently I didn't have time/motivation to update my blog over break. So I'm going to do that now before I have to go back to shitty DL High. Well we ended school on the 23^rd, and we're going back on the 2^nd. Well I'll eventually get over it.

Christmas wasn't too bad this year. I got a lot of clothes and a digital camera. I have already started to go shutter happy, so more photos to come. I decided to start taking some artistic photos. Not just the normal two people standing and smiling. Those are just boring.

Mason also decided to have a LAN party this year. I was glad that he did. I got there late, and it seemed that as soon as I got there the party started. I had to take Brian home really early in the morning because he couldn't stay over. I eventually got to play my new XBOX game that I also got for Christmas.

I worked only two days over break. It would have been more except my boss said I could have Christmas Eve off, since it was only a half day. I worked Wednesday and Thursday of last week. I had Mason's LAN party to go to Thursday night. Then on Saturday I worked with Anne on physics so that I wouldn't be overburdened last night.

New Years was awfully fun though. I first went to Kaylee's to celebrate with them for a bit. It was quite fun even though I didn't do any drinking. I still had to drive so I had to restrain myself. Then since I don't like the smell of smoke on my clothes, I pulled off the road to the old DL school that was knocked down. I shut off my lights and just started to change right there in the middle of the field. I was in my car so don't worry about it. Then once I finished changing, I headed to Unger's house. We had quite some fun. Amanda told a story in the hot tub for like an hour. I do believe that we all have ADD because we can't focus on one thing at a time. We played a few games and then passed out because of exhaustion.

I did have a good break considering it was only a week. Feel free to check out my facebook photos and my flickr photos. My facebook ones are just the normal photos that everyone takes at parties. The flickr photos are my artistic attempts. I do enjoy how they turned out.

Finished With College

2005-12-22T20:33:00.000-05:00

Today all of my applications were sent out of the Guidance Office. I am so excited that I am finally done. I am now just waiting acceptance and rejection letters. I am not expecting too much from the Ivy League schools. I did also get accepted to Case today. I finally got the letter in the mail. So congratulations to me. I am pretty much screwed though. I have no idea where I want to go. I also have to go and visit these damn colleges and try to figure where I want to go. I think it is going to be a long Spring visitation season. I should probably start looking into that stuff now. Oh well. I hope everyone else's decision for college selection is much easier.

Long Time, No Post!

2005-12-20T23:23:00.000-05:00

Well considering that I have been hassled by Mason the last couple days, I decided that I would update my blog now. I have been really busy with school. I don't understand why my teachers are laying it on so heavy since it is the Christmas season. I guess it is because it is the season of giving. Well I almost finished all of my college applications. I just need letters of recommendation for CMU, Princeton, and Penn. Thank god I am almost done with this college stuff. I am just so glad that I don't have to worry about deadlines until I have to choose which institution I would like to attend. I need to start visiting these colleges to narrow down my selection though. I should probably start on that, but I just don't feel like it. Well I have some homework to do after pretty much just skipping out on it all night. Well hope everyone enjoyed my update.

SAT II's / Newspaper

2005-12-04T22:44:00.000-05:00

Well I took two SAT II's this weekend. I took the Math IIC and Physics. I don't think anyone from DL finished the entire math section. So I guess I won't be getting that 800. Oh well. I haven't been doing too much recently. School has been controlling my life, so I haven't had much time to do anything. I need to get some photos taken for the school newspaper. I have them all scheduled and they should all be done by Wednesday. I am going to finish this regardless of the delay. I do feel kinda bad for not having these done on time, but I assumed that as per usual the newspaper will take awhile to be finished. Maybe this year is going to be different. I also found out that I write in passive voice quite often. Apparently, I can't stop it. I just need to be able to write something that is normal and coherent. Well Grey's Anatomy is on right now, I should get back to watching it. Thanks for reading my wonderful post.

Posting For Mason

2005-11-28T15:41:00.000-05:00

Well it was brought to my attention that I haven't updated in a really long time. So I decided to update instead of helping my dad fill out the FAFSA for me. I had a good Thanksgiving. I ate quite a lot and slept as if there was no tomorrow. I have been the Pittsburgh Mills almost every day during break. I also go to EnP almost every day also. I pretty live at both places. I wish Pgh Mills would get an EnP real close so that I would never really have to drive too far. Oh well. It probably won't ever happen. I also got my cell phone fixed again. One again, I got a new cell phone but the same type. I am so glad that Audiovox makes shitty phones. I have had nothing but problems with them. Oh well... new phone for me. I guess I should go and help my dad with the FAFSA stuff. Hope everyone enjoyed their break.

Play Is Over

2005-11-20T22:09:00.000-05:00

Tonight, I went with the play kids to Kings for dinner. It was a celebration considering the play is now over. I am going to miss it, but at least now I get to sleep as much as normal children. I am so excited. Anne told me that I would cry at the love circle on the last night. I ended up trying to keep the person next to me from crying. I kept that person from tearing until the end. I did prove Anne wrong though. I know that I am heartless. I honestly don't think that I feel any sort of emotion at all. I didn't cry nor did I feel compelled to so either. I am really tired tonight though. All I can say is... Yay for being a heartless person. I know that can't be good though. Oh well. That is how I am.

Opening Night

2005-11-18T06:18:00.000-05:00

Last night was opening night for the fall drama production of Groovy. I started out to be very sick in the stomach, but I got better. Even though I did mess up a few things, I believe that it went over well. The folks came last night and obviously they said it was good. I was so excited that I got flowers from people. Actually it was just my grandma, family, and ashung. I <3 her for being the only person my age that cares about me. Regardless, I have a gov quiz today that I didn't study for, and I have to do some gov homework still. So I am off. I hope that everyone comes to the play just to see/hear my $6 line. (FYI: About 15 people laughed at me last night... it wasn't supposed to be funny.) Have a good day all.

One Down, Seven To Go

2005-11-12T18:36:00.000-05:00

Well I had play today and it was quite a lot of fun. I then had work, which was stupid as usual. Well when I got home, I got the usual mail. I found a very large letter from Drexel University. I opened it and found that I was Accepted. The first line had Congratulations in bold. I was so excited. I can't wait until I get the rest of my letters of acceptance or rejection. Cheerios! (It is no longer just a food, but a word used to say goodbye.)

Dante's Inferno Test / No Play

2005-11-09T21:54:00.000-05:00

Well today was another eye doctor appointment. This one went much better. I was in and out in about a hour. During that time, I even picked out a new set of specs. I am so excited for them. Since my eyes were dilated so much, I could not drive to play. I got to sleep a bit and also study for my Dante's Inferno test tomorrow. I really like this book. I wish I had more time to complete it. Regardless, I believe I am going to own this test tomorrow. I am so excited. Well night folks. Back to studying.

I Beat Mason!

2005-11-07T01:41:00.000-05:00

I am so excited that I beat Mason. Here is his post on his blog.

Anyone Need 10 Cents? / Adverts

2005-10-27T23:38:00.000-04:00

Well I would just like to comment on how my blog is slowly becoming overrun with advertisements in my comment section. That is all I have to say about that. Well today was going okay except I was really tired. Lunch was a different story though. I went to the guidance office and turned in another college application. Then I came back and sat down to talk with my girls. Then less than five minutes later, a dime strikes my eye. Yes I said it... A piece of United States currency struck my eye. So I went to the nurse's office, but she was at lunch. The sign said to go to the office for true emergencies. So off I went. Mrs. O'Rorke sent for the nurse to look at my eye. The nurse ended up doing a vision screening and calling my mom. My mom came to the school and picked me up. I went to the eye doctor to get my eye checked out. Turns out that I didn't scratch my cornea or tear my retina. Which is nice to hear. I might have tore my retina, but the doctor couldn't see anything. I just have to monitor myself. Well I got to sleep all night long. I really needed it. Then I got up and did my French. Since I finished my composition, I am either going to call one of my long lost friends or just go back to sleep. My suggestion to all is.. Make sure to wear eye protection or just don't be an idiot and throw anything that could impair someone's vision because lawsuits could be filed that would put even the richest person in the poor house.

Exhausted

2005-10-21T20:43:00.000-04:00

Well it is Friday. That means that I can finally sleep. I hardly get enough sleep during the week. I actually think I'm going to go to bed early. I have to get up tomorrow for play. I don't have to go to work until later though. I go straight from play to work. I can't wait. :( Well I guess I could go and crawl into bed now. I actually fell asleep doing something on the computer. I almost never fall asleep on here. The only time I fall asleep on here is when I'm really tired. So with that being said, I'm going to bed. Night all.

Facebook is an Amazing Cult

2005-10-14T15:57:00.000-04:00

Well I just got home from a very tiresome day at wonderful DL High. I went to log on to Facebook and I discoved that it now has the option to have photo albums. I am so excited. I do already have an album on Yahoo, but it does not even come close to facebook's system. Facebook utilizes java, which is amazing because it is the programming language that I am learning from Spence. It uploads so much faster than Yahoo. I uploaded 18 pictures in under two minutes. It would have taken about an hour on Yahoo. Well I have some stuff to do tonight so night all.

SAT's

2005-10-08T21:59:00.001-04:00

Today was the day that I wasted $85 of my parents' money to take a test that determines my entire life. I wasted five hours of my life that I'll never get back thanks to this wonderful test. Well I do believe that I did much better this time around. I do believe I nailed the essay. Either a five or six. The essay is out of six so I'm good. I just need to finish my college apps so that I can be accepted. I also have homework to do, but I am just not motivated to do it right now. I have other important things to do... like sleep. Well I am off now to go and hopefully leave the computer long enough to fall asleep. Props to Mann for helping to learn the "strategies" of the SATs. I have to tell her though in person.

Boring Weekend -> Stressful Week

2005-10-03T06:21:00.000-04:00

This weekend was pretty much shot. I did almost nothing. I went to work on Saturday, and I got the "go ahead" to do the fall production. I offered seats to my boss for when the show finally comes out. She gladly accepted. I went with my folks up to camp to close it up. I know that I never really post about it. That is because I never go. I would rather stay home and do nothing with the Internet, than go there and do nothing without the Internet. I did get some of my chemistry and physics done. I'm not really excited about anything at the moment. I just try to go with the flow. It seems to work out better that way. I do believe that this week is going to be stressful. Due to the fact that I have an English test plus a Phyisics test. Then again there is probably another test that I have coming up, but I just don't know about it yet. I have so much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it. Well I'm off to do some college application research. Enjoy your life.

My First Time

2005-09-28T21:49:00.000-04:00

Well tonight was the first night that I have went to a drama/play/musical meeting. I initially went to be a person that works on props. I was really excited to do the props. Then I was handed a list of songs to sing with the guys. I used to sing in chorus and in my church choir. I always liked it, but I was/am really shy to do anything solo in front of others. I felt really good while singing tonight though. I even got to go into a group and make our own dance. All I can say is.... "BB" and Matt was our "BB King." I really want to do the fall production, but it conflicts with work. I know that work is not going to be too happy with me, but it is only going to be for two months. I only work Saturdays, so they won't miss me too much. Well I need to go and start my french journal entry. Night folks.

Homecoming Festivities

2005-09-25T23:27:00.000-04:00

All last week was labeled as Spirit Week. Each day was a different fashion. The one day was PJ day. So I wore my Sunday morning best and repped the PJ's. It was quite enjoyable. Then on Wednesday, the Student Council hosted a Carnival. I made the suggestion for a French Honors Society booth. We ended up making over $60 of net profit. I was really excited about the turnout for the booth. Thursday was Open House. I love Open House for the primary reason of helping the adults find their way around the school. Something about that just makes me excited to be there. Friday's activities included an assembly at school, homecoming parade, and homecoming football game. DL beat WS 48-0. It was the first win on homecoming in eleven years. I was really excited. I ended up almost losing my voice because of all the cheering that I did. I don't know why but this year I have quite a large amount of school spirit. Saturday, I had to work a half day. I then went home and got ready for the Homecoming Dance. I had so much fun at dinner, the dance, and the after party. So many stories... So many memories. I am loving Senior Year more and more every day.

Conclusions

2005-09-16T06:20:00.000-04:00

Yesterday seemed quite a productive day in terms of "deep" thinking. First of all while I was in French class, I came to the conclusion that I don't ever have time to post on my blog anymore. I know and understand that not a lot of people come here and read my posts. I would think that only Mason and occasionally Josh come and read. I also then came to two conclusions last night. Both involve the sciences that I took for "electives" this year. I ended up taking Honors Physics and AP Chem. The AP Chem class is probably either the hardest or second most difficult class that I take all day. I enjoy it, but it is just not my type of thinking. The way things are done doesn't usually make sense to me. Then I also came to the conclusion that I really enjoy physics, and it really isn't that hard. It is more enjoyable. The thought process behind the class, makes quite a lot of sense so I can handle that class. I absolutely love my AP Programming class. It is probably the most enjoyable class I have all day. Don't worry lunch and calculus are tied for second place. Well I just need to get ready for this wonderful day at school. Have a great day folks.

First Day Post

2005-09-07T07:05:00.000-04:00

I must say that my last first day of high school was quite a good one. I ended up laughing the entire Chem class with Chris-T. Then I had some awesome Physics. Actually, it just dragged on forever. But when that finished, I went to Calc to see MD. She pretty much just loves our class. I can't wait for a fun filled year with her. Then I got to go and hang out with Spence. He is prob the random teacher there is. He just started talking about flash drives, and then he just rambled on for the entire period about his satellite internet connection. Next, I went to see good ol' Nellas. He put me in the far corner. I no longer have anyone to talk to really. I just don't know what I am going to do. Lunch was pretty much just mass chaos. The table that was supposed to be only about five of us became about fifteen of us. Brian ended up flipping out which made my day. After lunch, I went to French. There was a new student in our class that came from Africa. He speaks english and was born around here. Even though he speaks english, his native language is french. It was crazy though because he didn't have an accent at all when he spoke. I think he is going to end up being my Hero of the Year. Then the last class of the day was Government. Lesko is the most laid back man, I have ever met. I noticed three things yesterday:

I took all AP and Honors classes.
I am going to have tons of stress around the time of my research paper.
Most of my classes are very small, which means more one on one

After school I had to go to my SAT Prep class. That class made the normal six hour school day change to 7. It seriously dragged on forever. I ended up falling asleep while testing. I came home and slept. Then Brian and I went out to Zrebny's and Starbucks. Julia and Megan made us hoagies. Then we picked up Slean, and she got drinks from Starbucks with us. Well I better be going, so I am not late for Day 2 of school.

Phone Management

2005-09-01T09:13:00.000-04:00

Once again I get to manage the phone in the Drum Shop. The only person that was working in the shop had a meeting to go to. I must say that I do enjoy sitting here. It would be much better if more people would call. Well after SAT class today I don't have much planned. Either I will sleep like yesterday or I will end up going out with some people. Have a wonderful day folks.

Quote of the Day

2005-08-26T20:17:00.000-04:00

I was surfing the web this evening, and I found this really good quote. I liked it so much that I am allowing others to read it..."Did you know that if you play a Windows XP CD backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows XP."

Sitting At Work

2005-08-24T11:52:00.000-04:00

Right now I am manning the phones. Just a note to myself.. I need to have an AIM Express link/shortcut so that I don't need to go all the way to AIM to find it. I should probably integrate the coral cache system into it. Bess might then ignore it. I'm just not too sure. I was thinking of ways to update my blog design. I'm thinking more like a navagation link system on the left and the archives on the right. I think that might look okay. I'm not too sure at the moment. Regardless, I am going to have my links on the left. I do need to do a few things to this site. It has just become so boring. I would like to thank Josh once again for making the banner that I currently have. I probably need to employ him to make me another one, once I change the layout and design the new blog. Lots of good things are being planned for this blog. I really hope that it turns out well. I also hope that you have enjoyed your stay here at my blog and have been enjoying yourself reading my super exciting life.

EnP & Such

2005-08-21T11:29:00.000-04:00

I went to EnP with Haschke and Tomnay last night. It was quite fun. We saw the Lengles and their friends. Wow they were so funny. Our table didn't even need to have a conversation. I had three cups of coffee. I didn't think i used that much sugar, but by the end the sugar container was almost empty. Tomnay counted the bags of sugar, and I averaged five bags per cup. I just don't like coffee. Everyone says how good EnP's coffee is and I just wanted to try some. I actually used to drink coffee at work, so it wasn't much of a leap from before. I did some html editing today on the blog. I removed all the other posters, since they haven't posted in like forever. I'm just a bit busy to lookup when they last posted. Mason said it was okay. I left the links the same though. I want to reformat my website though. I need to make it cool. I am thinking of a blue and red color scheme or something with blue. Well I have to finish getting ready for the formatting of the hard drive today. Mason is coming to assist me and I'm so excited. Well I'm off. Thank again everyone.

Falling Behind Once Again

2005-08-17T16:23:00.000-04:00

Yourish came over to my house today. She picked me up, then we went to Wendys for lunch. Honestly, the drive-thru was extremely fast. It was the fastest either of us has seen it. We came back to my house to have lunch. We ended up just laying on the couches. We ended up talking about our summers. We decided that with the SAT class, our summer is pretty much shot starting Monday. We then went back to her house to look at her senior pictures. We looked at mine and Ash's while we were here. Most of my time during the summer is spent at work or with my friends. I wish it was only with my friends and I just got money without having to work. That just isn't logical though. Last night, I hung out with Jmann, Jason, Hatfield, Tim, and Chris. It was an enjoyable evening at EnP. It seems that as seniors most people flock to EnP. I remember back when Eli was a senior, they always ended up going there. Those kids always made me laugh. Well I have a drink that is starting a ringlet on my desk, so I am off to finish it up.

Day Off

2005-08-10T11:43:00.000-04:00

Well today I have the day off of work. My sis and mom are going to take my gram to the mall to shop. I think I'm going with Mark to get some movies for him. I just don't have anything to do that's all. Well my friends that graduated are leaving soon. That also means that my place of employment will be shortstaffed. Yay for having to pick up the slack. I'm so excited. I do need to go school shopping though. I talked to Slean last night while at Quaker Steak & Lube. It was her birthday, but we talked about how both of our parentals are psychotic. I am honestly almost done with my applications for college. I just need to submit a few things that they school has, and I am pretty much done. It is ridiculous. Well I can't think of much more and thanks again for stopping by.

Back From Vaca

2005-08-07T00:27:00.000-04:00

I just got back from vacation today. I got burnt, but it turned to tan. So that means I am no longer white and pastey. I went parasailing for the 1^st time which was quite fun. I also went on a banana boat. Since I was quite bored with the beach by the end of the week, I ended up watching tv. I watched the season finale of Kept and lots of VH1 and Comedy Central. Nothing really exciting occurred really. Let's hope that next vacation will be a bit more memorable.

Leaving For Myrtle Beach

2005-07-29T14:53:00.000-04:00

Well if anyone actually has access to this blog when I'm not online, you will be able to see that I am updating right now. I worked half of a day today. I then came home and finished packing. I am going to Myrtle Beach, SC. I can't wait. I get to miss an entire week at Volkweins. I even made myself my own business card to give to my friend since I won't see her when she leaves. She is leaving next week. I'll have to upload my business card later. I thought it was so cool. Well I am off to get in the minivan. I am so excited to watch movies for the next week. I have so many. Enjoy your lives in mild climate Pennsylvania. Now don't worry I will be scorching and baking. I'll hate it and you know it. Have fun.

Negligence

2005-07-27T09:27:00.000-04:00

For some reason I have not updated my blog in awhile. I think it is because I work so much then I leave my house for the entire night. The only time I am ever on is in the morning when I read the news and late at night. I have made a few movies for myself to take on vacation. My family leaves for vacation on Friday. I can't wait. I should start packing, but I just don't see that happening any time soon. I think I am going to go and get my car cleaned out today. I am at least going to get it vaccumed. It hasn't been cleaned since Tuzi's Lan party. Then again I don't drive that car at all during this summer. Since I am always with my dad at work, we have the Mazda. Then once we get home from work, he never touches the car. I love the Mazda so much. This week is also a celebration because Olar comes home from "prison" on the 31^st. I really wish I could be home to see her, but I will be on vacation. Well I need to shower and get ready for today. Thank again to all that actually read my blog.

New Mall / Charlie / Grad Parties

2005-07-18T10:35:00.000-04:00

Well since I last updated there have been a few new updates. On Saturday I went to my sister's Junior Olympic Preliminaries. After that I went to Hatfield's Grad Party. It was quite fun. It was so incredibly hot outside that I told Hatfield I'd return later in the day. So I then went to the Krause twins' party. It was really cool there. Thank god. I chatted it up for awhile then I had some good food. I then returned to Hatfield's party to hang out with those folks for a bit. By this time food was out and it was much cooler outside. So I stayed for a bit. I seriously almost forgot the only reason to wake up on Saturday. Olar was home from Govenor's school. I was so excited. So I gave her a ring, and I headed on over to her house. I talked to her mom and then we headed out to meet people at Nat's house. Nat, Vinnie, Olar, Yourish, Lunz and I all went to the Clubhouse to celebrate Olar's return. On our way home from the C-house, Nat's van took a turn for the worse. We actually pulled over because we thought something was wrong. She took her van straight home. If she put her car in park, the car would still roll forward down a hill. So I just told her to put the emergency break on. That seemed to work. At this point, I felt gross and smelled bad. I made Olar come with me to my house so that I could freshen up. I then let her drive the Mazda back to Nat's house. We said goodbye to everyone and head off to Hatfield's party. Her mom was waiting at Hatfield's to pick her up to return her to "prison." I then left and went to Kate's house. She was the last grad party I went to for the day. Then on Sunday, I went with Michelle, Breanne, Megan, Brittany, Katelyn, and Scott to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I really liked the movie, although no one else did. Then today I am picking the girls up from cheerleading to go to the mall with them again. I have to finish getting ready or I'll be late. Hope you enjoyed the update.

Trying To Stay On Top Of Things

2005-07-10T00:40:00.000-04:00

Last night I went with Brian and the girls to the high school to play frisbee. Only Brian and I played. The girls just walked around the track and made some phone calls. Today I didn't work because I didn't want to. I have worked there enough. I told that wonderful place of employment that I call my slave driver, that I would only work two days a week. However the last few weeks, I have worked everyday if not then almost all of them. I ended up hanging out with Mark. We went to Mary, Sarah, and Steve's grad parties. It was so much fun to party hop. I swore that I wouldn't do it. I feel that it is rude just to show up uninvited to someone's grad party. Obviously, I guess I am over that mentality. After Steve's grad party, Mark and I went to Jock's to party it up. Well it was just a movie night. We ended up watching The Stepford Wives and Reefer Maddness. I really liked both movies. There really isn't much else to talk about. Goodnight everyone.

Catch-up Again

2005-07-08T19:03:00.000-04:00

Well I can't remember as far back as my last post. I know that you can read that date and do the math, but I just can't remember. Work honestly makes every day seem to blend into the next. It is probably the worst part about working in the summer. I never know what day it is or even the date for that matter. I hung out with Baker, Slean, and Krol the other night. The three ladies came over to chill for about an hour. I got to feed them, and then they left to watch the Real World. They suggested that we went to the drive-in. Since I was the only one with a senior license, I got to be the driver. Thank god that everyone is inconsiderate of the driver. I didn't find out until the last minute that people were going and what not. It was rough. Well we ended up going to the drive-in last night. It was really fun. I didn't get into bed until about 3 am. I also went to work this morning. I was so pissed that my work expects me to work full-time during the summer. When I eventually take off a day, the upper management gets all flustered. I really don't like my job. The people there are just ridiculous. I only like about two or three people there. In my mind, the rest can go and suck 'em. Well I am off to find something to do this evening.

Been Quite Busy

2005-07-05T06:46:00.000-04:00

Recently, I have been quite busy and unable to update my blog. All last week was inventory for work. Needless to say, I was there almost everyday. Wednesday was the day War of the Worlds was released to theaters. Josh, Mason, and I went to see it. I loved it. I just got confused at the end. The movie was great regardless. Then Friday was my birthday. I brought donuts to work. Then since inventory was over, the company bought everyone pizza. Towards the end of the day, two of my coworkers brought out a cake and sang to me. So I ate three times that day. It was quite a good day at work. Friday night I went to my camp with the family. I spoke to Mason before I left since he was going to his camp. I took my xbox and my new xbox game, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Saturday, I went to the Mason's camp. I brought out my xbox and tv, and we networked them together so that we could play Halo2. I went out to eat with my family that evening. We went to Hoss's. I love Hoss's. I ended up coming back and spending the night at their camp. For some reason Hoss's decided to poison my mother and I so that we were sick all night. Sunday my family came home from camp, and we had a family birthday party. I then received the best gift from my parents. I got a new Sony DVD RW DL drive. I love it so much. I installed it last night with my dad. Since HP likes to makes cases that are pieces of shit, we had to rip apart the entire case. I mean entire case. I took parts off that were connected to the motherboard. Well I have to finish getting ready for another full week of work. Cyah.

Drexel Then Case

2005-06-27T22:59:00.000-04:00

Yesterday, I left around eleven o'clock with my parents to embark on a journey all the way to Philidelphia. We went to see Drexel University. We stayed at a hotel about a half hour away from the campus. It was really nice considering the campus was right on the outskirts of the city. We stayed at a hotel in the town of "King of Prussia." I was so excited that I knew what Prussia even was. Thank god for Shelly. Tomorrow I am going to Case Western Reserve University with Mason. I can't wait. Well I have some stuff to do before I go to bed. Night all.

Halo 2 Lan & Jess M.'s Bday

2005-06-24T06:57:00.000-04:00

Once again I have fallen behind on my posting to here. I have been working almost everyday of my life. The days that I am not working I usually am busy also. It has to be the worst thing ever. Volkwein's wants me to work every single day. I don't know how the college kids can handle it at all. Well I finally got off a day and went to a Halo 2 Lan party at Tuzi's house. He decided to have the entire thing outdoors. It was so cool. I loved it, up until about 6 am when I was exhasted from work. Then since work completely disorients me and Tuzi's Lan Party which threw off my sense of time, I had no idea what day or time it was. It was pretty bad. Since I just don't know what is going on, I forgot Jess M.'s Birthday. I called her to find out what she was doing. She told me that she was going to see her grandma and have some cake and ice cream. Then since I am an idiot, I asked if it was her grandma's birthday. Then she replied that it was her birthday. I completely forgot. I try to make sure that I don't forget anyone's birthday. That is the purpose of the calendar in my room. So if someone would like for me to attempt to remember his/her birthday feel free to pass that along to me. I will make every effort to remember it. Obviously, I can't promise anything. Well it is time for work again. Have a wonderful summer folks. Until next time.

Just Realized Something

2005-06-17T15:09:00.000-04:00

I just realized that I haven't updated in about a week. It must be rough on some (maybe only two) readers. I have been working every other day at wonderful Volkweins. I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I got my paycheck and it was quite friendly. I also love not doing much work at all. That is always nice. I have come to the realization that if I work my ass off I still get paid the same amount as if I worked almost not at all. I want to ultimately have a job that I like and/or get paid by commission. I have hung out with almost a different group of people every night since school has been out. I got to hang out with Mason and Chris T. They are quite good kids. I have so much fun hanging out with them because I can be more spastic than usual because they don't care and generally don't judge me. I actually hung out with krol the night before she left for vacation. That was mucho fun with Nate and Mark. I hung out with Jessie C. a few times. Her family is so much fun, and she is also fun don't forget. I went to a bonfire at Manda's house last night. I was there until about midnight. As I was rolling up into my neighborhood, there was at least two cop cars outside this one house with all these children outside. So I called Jess M. and talked to her about it for a brief moment. Well I need to shower. I just got up and I am gross, so off I go.

Loser / Elisha / Work / Yourish

2005-06-10T13:05:00.000-04:00

Well I haven't updated in like two days. Quite a lot has happened. Wednesday was my last day of school. It was really fun. Well only parts of it. Jess dropped the ceremonial chain at school. Then she screamed "SHIT!" but she was far enough away from the microphone that no one heard her. Then after school was over, I went to Loser's birthday party / end of the year party. It was quite fun. Kelsey and I started the pool trend. We are soo cool. Then I went to Elisha's to party some more. She had a cookout. I got there as everyone was leaving. There was a total of four people remaining when I left. Then I had to work yesterday. It was pretty much the worst thing ever. I hated it. Since my job is really easy, I like it. Then I got home and went to pick up the Cancillas. We then went to Yourish's house. I understand that Yourish lives down the street, but the kids wanted to come. I did the good deed of picking them up, because they are good kids. Then I came home around 10:30. I sat on the comp until I fell asleep. I woke up and then went to bed. I woke up around 11 today. Kelsey actually called me and semi-woke me up. When I say semi-woke up I mean I was only part way sleeping. I really hope that makes sense. Now I am just sitting here because my folks are working and my sister left for a swim meet. Tomorrow is Relay for Life. I can't wait to go. I am going to have such a great time. The only bad part is that Howells' daughter isn't coming. I wanted to meet her. Oh well.

Thoughts of Apocalypse

2005-06-07T22:19:00.000-04:00

I thought the world was coming to an end yesterday. I came home and my computer would no longer access the internet. Many people think they aren't addicted until they don't have it. If I was a drug addict, I would have had the shakes and done anything for a quick fix. I actually went to Mason's to use his computer and to hang out. I told him that I wasn't coming to use his computer, but I guess it was assumed that I eventually would need to. So then I called my local ISP, and they suggested that I "swap" modems with them. So today I went with my mom to get a new modem. They took the old one and let me keep the cat5 cable. I was so excited. I can use the extra one for something now. After finding out that it wasn't actually the modem, I called Mason's house to get the phone number for Linksys tech support. His dad and I joked saying that most likely I will be calling India. What would you know, I spoke to someone with an Southeast Asian accent. I then found out after two tech support specialist that I fried my network card in the storm yesterday. So I took Mason with me, and we went to Walmart and both Radio Shacks to find a new network card. Mason offered to give me one of his, but I decided to pass so that I could just have one of my own. Both Radio Shacks were closed by 830. I honestly hate that store. They are only open when I'm not home or when I need them. I always end up resorting to Walmart. I ended up buying some Linksys knockoff brand. All of the boxes there were sliced open and the plastic wrap was coming off. So we both weighed each box to make sure that they all included the same items. I chose the box that was the least damaged. It was a really tough decision though. I installed the new NIC and it works perfectly. XP detected it as a Linksys NIC. That made me proud. Well I have to catch up on all of the online stuff now. Cyah everyone.

Kaylee, Grad Party, & Comp

2005-06-05T23:20:00.000-04:00

This weekend wasn't too eventful. I cruised Route 8 on Friday with Kaylee. We hung out at the C-house mostly. Then Saturday I had to work like usual. After that I went to the 1st Grad party of the season. It was a lot of fun. I then came home to a home without family. I guess I could have had a party of my own, but I just didn't care/think about it. Today I woke up and sat on my computer all day. It was glorious. I looked into graphics and sound cards. Then I looked at some cool Linux stuff. I am currently downloading Fedora Core 4 Test Build 3. I can't wait to install it. If you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm sorry to hear that, and please don't ever talk to me.

Relay For Life

2005-06-02T06:29:00.000-04:00

Yesterday, I found out that I lost my election for presidency. I made sure to congratulate all that had won. I just need to speak to a few more people today, because I didn't see them at the end of the day. All of the girls got re-elected. Yay for them. The only position that changed was my own and VP. The rest of the positions stayed the same. Kudos to the winners. Also yesterday, Jess and I had two Relay for Life meetings. The first was a teachers meeting. It was funny to sit there and listen to these incredibly random people. Then later Jess came and picked me up to take me to the large Relay for Life meeting in Highlands. It was quite fun. The meeting was so short though. I got a few things written down that I need to do. I am going to have so much more free time next year without student council. I can't wait. Well time for breakfast so I have to go.

Boring Weekend

2005-05-31T00:26:00.000-04:00

Nothing really occurred this weekend. I went to camp and watched Alias the entire time. I got almost all of my homework done. I just have to do my history still. Watts said that it did not need to be completed by tomorrow so I'm not finishing it. I went with my family to my aunt and uncle's today. It was a grand old time. Like usual, we played Sawford Wiffleball. It is a family tradition. I always enjoy playing. Then again, all one has to do is stand there. So it is the perfect game. Unless one is running, no effort is made to get them out. It is such a great game. Well since it is after midnight and I finally finished my English Final Review packet. I am going to bed. Night all.

Good Evening

2005-05-27T06:54:00.000-04:00

I got to go to my sister's award ceremony last night. It was kinda boring, but I sat with Chris and his family. They are quite a family. They all make me laugh. Then I came home and helped Jessie with a few things for Trig. Don't think I did it for her or let her tell you that. I did it for the pure joy of doing math. After I finished helping her, I just stood there and talked/laughed with her family. I really wish that my family was funny. We hardly talk to each other, and when we do, we are either complaining or need something. I should be going though. School is coming up soon. I'm off.

Alias Finale

2005-05-25T23:29:00.000-04:00

Tonight was the Alias Season Finale. I thought last week was it, but tonight was the last night. Nellas tried to tell me that there is still more Alias to come. I am going to flip out once I see him tomorrow because this was such a good episode. I just didn't care for how it ended because it kept me in suspense. I hate finales. They always make me angry, but then again I will watch next season. Tonight was also the NHS Induction. I got inducted into that, and I made Top 10% of my class. I was certainly excited for that one. I mean I have to get to sleep so that I can go to wonderful school tomorrow. Night.

Kudos To Robert / Episode 3

2005-05-22T12:51:00.000-04:00

I must say Kudos to Robert for having an amazing song that I have never thought to dl in his info. The song is sandstorm. I have always heard it at the dances, but I never knew what it was called. So I gave it a try. For some reason I fell asleep listening to this song last night. It was reallly strange. I would also like to say that I am going to see Star Wars: Episode 3 this evening. My dad wanted to go and see it, so my mom rented Episode 2 for him and I to watch. I just watched Episode 2 last night. It was really good. The one guy at my work said that Episode 3 was amazing. Then again he is a Star Wars fanatic. He was at the midnight screening and preordered his tickets. It is so sad. He is so funny though. I can't wait to see this movie. I need to do some stuff before I go though. I have to find out when the movie is playing and decide if I am going to K-wood tomorrow because I don't have a partner at this time. If you know of anyone that needs a partner make sure you inform me. Thanks folks.

Long Time No Post

2005-05-19T06:42:00.000-04:00

Well I have been really busy recently with school related activities. I really wish the day had more than twenty four hours. I could get so much more done. Last night, I thought that it was supposed to be the Season Finale of Alias, but it wasn't. It was just a two hour episode leading up to the season finale next week. I can't wait for it. I was so angry as soon as this epsiode was over. It was right in the middle of a good scene, and then the word "Alias" came up. I was so angry. I can't wait for the season finale. No one can even understand how excited I am. Well today is the day to turn in speeches and paperwork for class representatives. I don't have to turn a speech in though, because I am only running for student council representative. I really hope I win. Speeches are on Tuesday, so I am guessing elections will be held on Wednesday.

From MC's

2005-05-17T12:50:00.000-04:00

Well I knew that I haven't posted in quite some time, so I decided to post now. Right now I'm in Mr. Clark's class. We just walked around the room and graded each other's webpage. Heather won once again. I won 2nd. Yay! Brian out!

News Flash: Brian Has A Photo Album

2005-05-14T19:03:00.000-04:00

I just finished uploading all of the pictures that were taken at Jock's Bday party. I had a good time. I had to work today and that blew, but what can you do? Well I should find something to do this evening. I might do my homework, but that is extremely unlikely. Well here is the link to the new photo album.

Prom Pictures

2005-05-12T06:47:00.000-04:00

Well I found out that my mom finally developed my pictures from prom. I didn't want to bring them to school today because they are all messed up. By messed up, I mean that they are not in an album. She said that she is going to to store today with my grandma so they are going to pick one up for me. They are such nice women. I am pretty sure that most people in my immediate and extended family are nice people. I must be off though. I have to finish getting ready for another wonderful day of school.

Still Tired

2005-05-11T22:20:00.000-04:00

I am still extremely tired from prom. Today, I ended up falling asleep in Spence's class. It was rough. Then I had student council. We got our group yearbook picture. Makuta did get us food though. It was pizza, and it was good. I then went with Kesh and Yourish to the softball game to watch Julia. It was fun. Yourish then took both of us home. I took a cold shower, and I came to the conclusion that I extremely dislike cold showers. I don't think I will ever take one again. I just finished watching Alias. It was really good. I love that show. I should be calling Mann right now. Night.

Jock's Bday

2005-05-10T06:30:00.000-04:00

Happy Birthday Jock

Well yesterday was okay. Nothing really happened. What else is new? I need to go and eat so I'm done.

(Pre, During, & After) Prom

2005-05-09T00:21:00.000-04:00

Well I had work on Saturday. I had a 1/2 day though. It was really nice. I was seriously counting down the minutes until I got to leave that place. Then my dad and I left and went home. I got dressed and we headed over to the Cancilla's house. We took lots of pictures there. Then we got into the limo and headed to the high school. Once at the high school, we lined up for Promenade. That went really fast. Then we got back into the limo, and we all headed to Heinz Field. Prom was so much fun though. It consisted of quite a bit of mingling. I love to mingle. Then we had some dinner, and I got my groove on. Then after that was over, we went back to Mann's house. I had so much fun there. It was kinda awkward at points, but overall it was quite a lot of fun. I really do love my friends. They are seriously the only thing that enables me to get through school. I really don't want the seniors to leave because I honestly don't know what I will do without them. Well I think I'll move on, but it will be tough.

Promenade

2005-05-06T22:39:00.000-04:00

Today was a complete waste of a day for me. I helped build the set for Promenade. It looks really good. I am really pleased with its outcome. In terms of wasted time, I just didn't go to any of my classes except physics. I must say that I did enjoy myself though. Some people did get angry though. What can you expect from people though? After school was over, everyone left. Don't worry though, there was still work to be done. So Jenn, Jock, Ang, Mann and I all stayed to finish. It was really nice to have a small group compared to the large group that we had all day. I am getting more and more excited for prom now. I really wasn't too excited at the beginning of the week, but since it is tomorrow, I am getting a bit excited. Well I think I'll call Jessie since she was going to call me and just talk to her for a bit. Then I am off to bed. I have to work tomorrow, and I just don't have time to sleep.

Spring Sports / Every 33 / Prom Committee

2005-05-06T06:41:00.000-04:00

Well yesterday was pretty much a blow off day. First of all we had the "Spring Sports" Assembly. I finally got to sit down in the chairs. I felt so cool, but then Emery being a douche made nicknames up for everyone. I told it was a terrible idea. I really just didn't care for it. The second reason yesterday was a blow off was because of Senior Skip Day. We didn't have class hardly at all in Calc. We even had lab. We worked on the same paper for two periods, and I am not even 1/2 way done. I just had no motivation to do it. Then yesterday was also the Every thirty three Minutes program. Every thirty three minutes a gong would sound and someone would be pulled from their classroom. It was just about drunk driving. I really had to talk to Liz because I went to her softball game. I couldn't though because she was one who died. So I talked to Danni and Pat and made sure she overheard it. I didn't want to make her talk because she wasn't supposed to. Well I have to finish my breakfast. That means I'm off for now.

Behind Again

2005-05-04T17:37:00.000-04:00

Once again, I am behind in my postings. Today was my Nellas test that I am pretty sure I just owned. I am pretty proud of that one. Then again the test wasn't that hard. I'm guessing that there will not be a curve on this one. I would also like to mention that I saw Nat (my friend from hampton) today. I haven't seen her in such a long time. I decided to sit with her and her mom at the girl's softball game. I got to catch up with her. Well I have stuff to do even though I don't have homework. Cyah.

Nellas Project / French Research Paper

2005-05-01T18:32:00.000-04:00

I just finished my French Research Paper. I am so excited. I also finished my Nellas Project this morning. I had my sister check it, and I added stuff as I went. I do need to be off though. I have to finish my physics that is due on Tuesday. I just don't think I am going to have much time to do things this week due to prom. Prom is going to be exciting, but for some reason I am not excited for it. It is just a reason to leave work early on Saturday and get dressed up. I know that I will enjoy myself though. I did make this blog cross-browser compatible. I finally adjusted it in IE so that it looks like it should and does in Firefox. Well Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy is on tonight. I can't wait for them!

Nellas Video

2005-04-28T21:11:00.000-04:00

I haven't updated in quite some time. I haven't been home to do stuff. I have been so busy trying to catch up in all my classes and such. It is so bad. My group did our video for Nellas today. OHHHHHH! It is so bad. It is probably going to be the funniest thing ever. I hate this project. I will not ever do anything like this ever again. I can't wait to fail the video part of it. By the end, I was seriously ready to get the hell out of there. The whole house was swearing. My mom said that she didn't even want to walk down because she heard some of the girls swearing. I need to edit the script now so that it matches perfectly with the video. Nellas is crazy. I can't wait to turn this video in. It is going to be the end of me. At this point though, I just don't care at all anymore. I just want to get out of school. Prom is coming up in a week, then school is almost over by that point. Well I have to go and do my Physics because that is due tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

Early End to Track

2005-04-25T23:55:00.000-04:00

Today track ended early because Nellas wanted to get people to swim longer. I got to leave earlier in other words. I was so excited. I came home, and then my mom and I went and got dinner. We picked up Messinas pepperoni rolls. They are so good. I haven't had them in quite some time. It was a pleasant change. I then went to sleep. I woke up four hours later, since no one in my family ever tells me to wake up. I guess since it is almost midnight, I should be off. So here I go.

DHW / Forum

2005-04-25T07:03:00.000-04:00

Last night, I watched Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy with some friends at my house. It was quite fun. I also signed up for DGX's forum. After that last forum was infected by some online virus, everyone relocated there. I was just never informed. So I signed up. I also now have an urge to read. Don't ask. I generally don't like to read, but since I am going to read something that interests me, it is okay. Well it is time for school so I'm off.

Working Hard / Hardly Working

2005-04-23T13:40:00.000-04:00

Right now I am at work. I just found out that the sound on my dad's computer works. So I just accessed my ftp server and I am about to play some cool tunes from Less Than Jake. Well I should be back to my break. If you ever want to meet me on IM when I am working on Saturday's, just make sure you are here at about 1:30 pm. That is when I usually get on.

Manda's Party And She Can Cry If She Wants To

2005-04-22T19:03:00.000-04:00

Yesterday was Manda's Birthday. We went out to the Olive Garden with her. It was just splendid. Once again since the sun went down, I got pissy. I kinda felt bad though. For some reason when people ask what I did I just tell them about the night with Manda and crew. I always forget to say that I got my personal best at track. I jumped 15ft. It is the best I have ever done. I was so happy. I was excited that I beat Joey, but then he came back and whooped my ass. I'll get him. Well I have to make dinner for myself since no one is home. I shall post later.

Bad Weather

2005-04-20T23:54:00.000-04:00

Well recently we have had a bit of bad weather. Yesterday, it rained really bad. It was really cold when it rained too. Then today it was bad again. Since Coons saw lightning, we got to have a shorter practice. I got my steps then we left. I had the option to use the pool like the cool athletic kids, but I decided not to after I got a second and third opinion. So I took Joey and Sam home. Once at Sam's I saw that Yourish's car was there. So I moved my car about five feet to the left. I hung out with Yourish for like 20 minutes. It was enjoyable. Then her dad had to leave so I left also. I came home and fell asleep. Tomorrow is a meet and I can't wait. I also get to hang out with my friends tomorrow night because we have off school on Friday. I can't wait. I am so glad this week is over. Night.

Newest Cool Phrase: Word Vomit

2005-04-19T22:11:00.000-04:00

Today was a splendid day. I must say that the field trip was quite fun. I also was interviewed by ESPN. That also turned out okay. I will speak of this a bit further down. I also had a track meet. I did almost my personal best. I even ran the two mile. As I told Nellas "Never again... Never again." I also must say the newest cool phrase is "word vomit." I saw it in the movie Mean Girls. I must say that as soon as I start to talk it just gets out of hand. I told the woman from ESPN that I would never in my life play football. Then I also told her that I enjoy power. It was funny. I am pretty sure I shocked the entire room, and McClarnon just ended up covering his eyes and put his head down. I also told the tour guide at the museum today that I would let the one painting burn because I thought it was ugly. I for some reason today I was being very blunt and straight forward. I don't think I lied or sugar coated anything at all. Well good for me. I even like to use the phrase "word vomit." It just sounds so cool. I am off to bed right now because I finished studying for french. I know those slides and as soon as they change to color on the projector, I am going to be so screwed. Well it won't be the first time. Well night.

First Day Back

2005-04-18T17:14:00.000-04:00

Today was my first day back after my suspension. I was called aside a few times throughout the day to discuss it with a teacher or two. Most of them just said that they were disappointed in me and that was about it. It was really nice not to be criticized by every single teacher of my day. I also got most of my testing that I missed done. I did half of my physics test and I will be finishing it on Wednesday. I have a Nellas test tomorrow. I'm not too excited about that one, but I'll live. I just need to study a lot this evening because I have not even begun to study. Well I am off for now. I am talking to Pat and Nate, and they are diverting my attention to their window.

Allegheny / Camp

2005-04-17T19:53:00.000-04:00

I went to Allegheny on Friday. I must say that I enjoyed it. I would also like to say that it is my favorite small school. I must also add that Case Western is my favorite large school. I went with Mason to visit this college. They gave us free disposable cameras. It was so cool. We just took random pictures of things that made us chuckle. The tour guide that I had was pretty hott I must say. I also had to write Jock two notes because of our separation time. Jock makes me laugh though. She told me that she has two ready for me. I can't wait to read them. Tonight there is a new episode of Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. I can't wait for them to come on. I have one hour remaining until the fun begins. Some of my friends are coming over to watch it with me. I can't wait for this evening to be over though. I am in a bad mood for some reason. I am also tired for some reason. It might be because I went to bed late and got up early. I got some new clothes from the Grove City Outlets this weekend. That made me happy. Well I guess I am done rambling.

Tutor / HW

2005-04-13T23:26:00.000-04:00

Since I have been off the last two days, all I have done is my homework, programming, and sleeping. I did get to talk to some people today. I also got to tutor again. I made a lil money there. I think that I would like to either go into Secondary Math Education (teaching calculus only though) or still do the Computer Science route. I really can't stand how I can't make up my mind. I just need someone to tell me what I am doing and off I'll go. I need to finish my program. I also need to learn how to actually code in VB. I understand it is in basic, but since no one is assisting me I am taking longer than expected to write it. Well I am off to bed now. Allegheny College on Friday with Mason. I can't wait to see the world again instead of from my window.

Spring Break Part 2

2005-04-13T06:40:00.000-04:00

I did something that I should not have on Monday. Therefore, I have three days out of school suspension. I wish that I hadn't said it, but I can't go back in time and change it. So yesterday, I sat at home and worked on my mom's powerpoint and then also my homework. I will do the same today except I finished that powerpoint. I decided that I will be writing the screen writer for the video we have to make for english class. The guys and girls also lost the track meet that I was not permitted to attend. Bayer was also Monday night and my group lost that. I am pretty sure this is the shittiest week ever. More hell to come. Last night before I went to bed I believe that I finally understood the intensity of the situation because I became sick to my stomach with what I did and how I was handling it. I really feel like shit though. It is terrible.

Masons / Catchup

2005-04-10T23:59:00.000-04:00

Last night I went to Mason's for all night Monopoly. It was so much fun. We had treaties. Josh and I had the Pony Treaty. I love Monopoly. It is one the greatest games ever created. Josh and I tried to get Brad to join our side, but he ended up fucking us over. Josh and I then formed a Communist pact. We were doing really well with Communism. Since Chris owned about half the board, he "ram-rodded" us hardcore. Josh and I were so cool though. On paper Communism is the way to go. But to practice it is another story. I just wanted to take over and rule the entire game. I told Mason and Josh upfront that I would back-stab them later in the game. At least they saw it coming though. Chris ended up winning because capitalism is the way to go. I also got to be the banker as per usual. I was the Medici's (sp?). Thank god for History or I would not be able to relate everyday life to past world events. I had a Bayer meeting today. That went okay, except Olar wasn't here. It's okay though. She was on a field trip. Then I had to tutor which ran over. I got home as soon as I could, then I attempted to work on the project I have for my mom. Pat's mom just sat down with my mom and I, and we worked it out. I just finished watching Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. They are such great shows. I suggest everyone to watch them. Well time for bed.

NES Emulator & Out

2005-04-08T19:49:00.000-04:00

I just had the new buffalo chicken pizza from Pizza Hut. It is much hotter than I have had anywhere else. I must say that it was good, but I became full quickly. School was okay today. I wrote Jock a note in Deluca's class then uploaded an NES emulator and some games to Deluca's comp. I am so glad that the weekend is here. This week has seriously taken forever. I plan on going out with Mark, Mann, and Amanda. I think we might go and visit Chris at work, but I certainly know that we are going to Starbucks. Other than that, I am not sure what is in store for this evening. Let us find out.

Still Suck But Just Don't Care

2005-04-07T23:23:00.000-04:00

I had a track meet again today. I scratched twice out of a total of three attempts. I decided that I just suck. I have also came to the conclusion that I just don't care at all anymore. I came home and just fell asleep. I had to get up to have dinner and then do my homework. I talked to Mann in an attempt to make her feel better. I feel like shit just because I am sick. I just need to get better and for the season to switch to summer so that I would be fine. I hate spring and fall. They are just pointless seasons. I would rather it be summer all year round. Actually, I hate winter more than spring and fall combined. I am even medicated to subdue the sickness, but that just isn't working. My mom just gets angry because I can't stop coughing. I do believe that I am getting closer to my goal of a six pack of abs. I believe that I am now up to four total. Two of them aren't lined up. So one is like "catty-corner" from the other. I think I am off to bed. I have so much shit I have to do. I just don't have time anymore for all of this. Night.

Last Day Of PSSAs

2005-04-06T17:49:00.000-04:00

Today was the last day for PSSA's. I am so excited yet disappointed. I am glad that I don't have to bullshit anymore on my english essays. I am also disappointed that I don't get to miss half of my classes everyday. Soon I am leaving with my dad to go and get the Corvette from my uncle's house. I should be getting showered and dressed, but I just don't see that happening. Actually, I might just do it after I post this. I had track and prom committee today. I got to run some stuff to McClarnon for him to approve after he just disapproved it. Why can't he just make everything easy for us. He just enjoys being difficult. Then track wasn't bad except I am so preoccupied with everything that I am just sucking at jumping. I really hope that I can clear my head by tomorrow since I have a meet. Well I think I am off to shower. Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Track Meet

2005-04-05T20:12:00.000-04:00

I also offically suck at track. Today was terrible. I was really bad. I want to do well again. Well I must say that I am incredibly tired at this point. Kelsey just asked for some assistance with physics I believe. So I am off to call her then I think I might just go to bed. Cyah.
Note: Jock don't forget what you are supposed to do.

I'm Officially A Pussy

2005-04-04T06:50:00.000-04:00

I just took a quiz off of Andy Austin's Blog. Well I am officially a Puss and oh yeah here are my stats.

Your Brain is 86.67% Female, 13.33% Male
You have the brain of a girly girl Which isn't a bad thing at all You're emphatetic, caring, and in tune with emotions. You're a good friend and give great advice.

What Gender Is Your Brain?

I just edited the html for that table b/c it was terrible. People these days.

Olar's / Program / Tux

2005-04-03T23:37:00.000-04:00

Today I finally got my tux. I also got my hair cut. It looks "sharp." Then I worked on my thing for work. I have started to convert it to a program (exe file.) Then I went to Olar's with Nat. We worked on Physics, and then we watched Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. I love those shows. Thank god Nat watched TV and all. *sigh* I need to get to sleep soon because I have PSSA's again tomorrow. Night all.

Another One Succumbs To Old Age

2005-04-02T19:00:00.000-05:00

I know that everyone is deeply hurt by the death of the Pope. I had work today and it went slower than usual. I think that my co-workers hate me. Ever week, I get Subway with my dad. Last week, Ken told me to not get Subway because it seems like we are outcasting ourselves. So today we didn't. When it came time to order Chinese, they forgot to ask us what we wanted. So we just ordered hoagies. They were good. I have no idea what I am going to do tonight since I can't go to the tux place to get a tux. They closed at five, and I get home at six. So we are going tomorrow at noon when they open.

My Mom Is Sped-tastic

2005-04-01T22:12:00.000-05:00

I was getting ready to take a shower tonight when my mom and i were talking about the Pope (don't worry I was wearing clothes). Then she was telling me about how she remembered John Paul becoming Pope.

Mom - I remember when the Pope was uhhh....crowned.
Me - Um Mom? The Pope isn't crowned.
Mom - Well whatever. I remember when he was Pope-ed then.

My dad and I just lost it because it was so dumb. Then we just talked about Teri Schavios(sp?) dieing yesterday. The field trip for Bayer today wasn't as bad as I thought. We got to see our competition and how unprofessional all of them are. I even found out that Carlson isn't the craziest person that I know. These two other women there were worse than her. I was amazed. Carmen Sanchez the Carpetmuncher made my day though. Damn Spanish Lesbians. She was so funny, even though she wasn't trying to be. Well it is time to head off to bed. I have to work again tomorrow. Night.

April Fools

2005-04-01T06:33:00.000-05:00

Happy April Fools

and oh ya...

Happy Birthday Jerry

I am kinda excited for April Fools. Other than someone pulling one on me, it is going to be a good day. I have a field trip today with the majority of my Bayer group and also Carlson. Then I have track which sucks, but it will be okay. I just can't wait to do stuff this weekend. Well I have to eat breakfast before school, so I'm out.

Another Easy Day At Track

2005-03-31T17:44:00.000-05:00

Today was an easy day at track. I just had to watch the pit and jump a few times. I had a good day I must say. Well except for lunch I was in a bad mood but I just don't know why though. I am going to the play tonight. I can't wait to go though because then I get to talk to the CrAzIeSt person ever. She has to tell me what happened in the scene following the bastard at the alter. It is like a story, and I love it.

Once Again I Blow

2005-03-30T22:38:00.000-05:00

Today was the second track meet, and it was at Apollo Ridge. I scratched all of my Long Jumps, but when I did my Triple, I scratched the first but did well on the two following. So I was happy with that one. The only bad part about the meet was that it was so damn far away. I slept on the way there, but I did not on the returning trip. I honestly just need to go to sleep. I need to catch up on sleep. I shall be heading off very soon. Night all.

Thanks To Josh

2005-03-29T23:08:00.000-05:00

Josh decided that he would make a new banner for my blog. What a nice kid. If you see him in the halls make sure to shake his hand if you are male. If you are female.... make sure you sex him up real good.

First Meet

2005-03-29T21:36:00.000-05:00

Today was my first track meet of the year. Last year, I jumped 12 feet in the long jump. Well there was this time at Mars I got 13 but I don't believe that anyone was measuring right. Today though, I jumped 14' 11". That is my personal best. I am so excited too. I have decided that I am a complete tard. I don't even know what to say anymore other than "I'm an idiot." I seriously enjoy it though. I say some the most stupid things I have ever heard. I just noticed that I used quite a lot of the word/letter "I".

I count (including <- that one): 16.
Here is me being "spedtastic."

Website Option

Well last night, I thought that I might program. I decided not to because I felt that I would use it only once and Shibbs would make me write it out anyways. Such a great guy. Actually, he is hysterical. Today is my first track meet of the season. I am so excited. My folks might not be there until later. Let's hope they get to see me suck major ass. I also am going to be missing Spence's class two days in a row. I need to figure something out with him. I can't take the book home because there is only one per computer. I think I will just go and talk to him in the morning to work on it during homebase. I am going to have to get out of so many classes to make up shit for him. I should get out of Nellas' class because it is his fault for making the meets so early. Well I am going to finish my breakfast and just watch a few flash animations that are on my website. I should be able to post tonight. I'll make my best attempt that's all I am saying.
