  • Today sucked. Sorry to fly off the handle like that... Anyway, my
    glasses friggin' broke this morning. Now I can hardly see a thing.
    Believe me, I'm about six inches from the computer screen right now. It
    was an even bigger pain in the fecal chute when I had to drive home. I
    could only look through one lens! That meant I was driving with no
    depth perception. At least it's the weekend so I don't have to care
    about them until Monday. If this incident is anything like the incident
    with my car mirror, then I had best find some duct tape fast.

    Oh, I also took this test that I saw on Don Roberto's site. It seems kind of interesting, albeit short.


    You Are A Romantic Realist
    You are more romantic than 40% of the population.
    You
    tend to be grounded when it comes to romance.Sure, you can fall hard...
    but only for someone you've gotten to know.And once you're in love, you
    can be a total romantic goofball...But you'd never admit it to your
    friends!

  • The following post is meant to be read only by those who attend
    Aberdeen High School. The author of this post does not, in any way,
    dislike the soon to be mentioned group. This post has not been written
    as a social comment or an insult. It is merely an observation.

    You know the SMA in our school (aka the third floor)? It stands for
    Science & Math Academy. I was thinking, what if they included the
    "&" in their acronym? Wouldn't it be the S&M A? Heh heh... that
    was so stupid.

  • Well, in case you didn't know, I did not go to prom. Instead I stayed
    home and did what I wanted. And since I am home alone, this included
    the following items of choice:

    1 - Watched about nine episodes of Family Guy
    2 - Had a plate of excellent Tortellini
    3 - Played a game of Starcraft
    4 - Read some of Michael Crichton's State of Fear
    5 - Checked the mail
    6 - Beat Sonic the Hedgehog 2... again!
    7 - Went to sleep

    Ah... It was sweet. So now I am awake, had a bowl of Cheerios, and now
    I am here. If you wanted to know what was missed at prom, don't ask me.
    I suggest you go to Don Roberto's site or to Hugh Jass' site. If you want to know more about what I did during prom, go to this site, but don't expect much from this one. Peace out!
