Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been around for a while (I know you're all relieved), but I'll be back for a while. ONE MORE WEEK OF SCHOOL! Aw, I can't wait. We have finals Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, then a minimum day on Thursday. WHOOHOO! And ya, I argue that that's one word. I can't even remember what my position was on that argument.

Anyways, summer's in a week, and I have no plans! Which is the whole point of summer. I'm taking living skills at summer school, because it's kinda an embarassing class, and who wants to take living skillz during school? And what's worse, taking it when you're a junior or senior, stuck in a class with all those annoying sophmores. But anyway, four more days, and I get to turn into one! WHOOHOO!

We go our yearbooks a week ago, and I don't have half as many signatures as I was hoping for. But I still have like six hours worth of class time to get it signed. And the yearbook itself is amazing. And yeah, I have to show off my knowledge of HTML. So next year, since I have living skills out of the way, I think I'm going to take journalism half the year, then have a prep the other half, which I might not use if I get into journalism and want to work on the Viking or the Verde. I might take photography as an independent study though, just to get credits. I'm also going to be a photography for the yearbook staff, 'cause it would be an excuse to go to all the women's lacrosse games (tight skirts YAY).

I might also go out for water polo, if I gain enough muscle over the summer. Which is my goal, to lose some weight, gain some muscle, get a six pack, cause I'm kinda squishy and getting tired of it. But yeah, I wanna go backpacking with my cousin too, and maybe head out to Maryland with the family, but I dunno yet.

Sorry for the hideously long journal entry, but a lot has happened recently.

Tonight, I was really bored, and my sister took over the one TV in the house which had all of my HOUSE shows on it, which bummed me out, but I spent all night watching movies. I watched most of Live Free or Die Hard, the very end of Juno, most of Spiderman three, and then a bit of 21. Jim Sturgess looks like Light in that movie. And has an "adventure" with a chick who looks a whole lot like Mello, in Vegas.

So, lately, and by lately, I mean today and yesterday, I went outside with my camera and shot a ton of shots of birds, because it's almost summer, and they're all coming back from winter (they're a little slow around here.) Anyway, I have like five really good pictures I'm going to post after I'm done typing this. Also, sorry for the recently uncalled for pictures I put up, but we were cleaning out our Photography class things, and I was on the computer and she was all like, "Make sure to bring a memory stick to take your things off of the computer if you want them, otherwise they'll all be erased." </crazy> So I was like OMFG! and panicked and put a bunch of them up.

I WON HONORABLE MENTION IN THE BLUECOAT CONTEST!

My picture, RED won an honorable mention in a contest I entried, which means +50! Which actually can't buy me much right now: on my list is an iPod touch, a tablet of somekind, and a new camera/lens/underwater housing. But yeah, and I'm going to work for my dad over the summer, and I convinced him to give me a raise, so hopefully I'll earn some dough.

So anyways, if you got this far, props for you, see ya later. END ENCRYPTED MESSAGE



Just kidding. Here's a short monologue I wrote one night, trying to be funny. I think I just failed:

So, I'm a big fan of irony. It's one of my favorite forms of humor. So the other night, I'm sitting there, pretending to do homework and stuff,(and I love, by the way, how teachers think you don't have enough homework, right before the final) and I get bored, so I reach into my backpack and take out the pack of gum I had bought earlier. Now, I had been in a rush already, so I grabbed the first green pack I saw, 'cause, y'know, green is always spearmint. So, I take out my gum, and I notice, right where it says the flavor -like wintergreen, peppermint, fruit-flavoured crap- and it says RAIN. It seriously said RAIN was the flavour. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE RAIN WAS A FLAVOUR! But anyway, here's the cool part. Like seconds after I put it in my mouth, it starts raining. And I just thought that that was kind of cool.

That's probably not as funny as I think it was, but I get most of my "humor" motivation from Dane Cook, so you have to imagine this is him reading it.


Anyway (and yes I'm aware that I say that too much) I have to go. *sits on Stephanie*
