Today Was a Good Day!
Mood: Satisfied
Once again, nothing much happened today, which is just fine and dandy with me. Went to work at around 3:45, but I didn't start until 4:30. Sandy bashed Jewell, so I stuck up for her by saying, "What are you talking about, she's a hottie!" BTW, I wasn't lying either  . Anyway work went smoothly since Wosick was back in dishroom with me. Jewell said that Allen thought she looked like a communist with her coat, but I disagree; communists wore brown coats with those goofy black hats. It wasn't even communist red! Oh, and coolist part of the day: Jewell kissed me on my hand! I feel so loved  !! I told her to brush her teeth since they probably weren't clean. Steve got jealous, but I guess some just got it and others don't...jk. I hope your feeling better, Jewell!

Boring Friday
Mood: Tired
GRRRR...my sister makes me mad!! She said that she was going to the hockey game, so I would have to watch my little brother and sister...but then she shows up and says she didn't want to go. I COULD HAVE HUNG OUT WITH THE MY PALS!! ARGH!! Oh well, c'est le vie. My aunt invited us to go swimming at the AmericInn since my cousin was playing hockey in town. Then I went to work. After work, I followed Kelly home and we played Blinker Wars. Then I went home...nothing much today.

Why Are Men Scared of "Tampons"?
Mood: Content
Two test, one easy, one hard. I think I did good on both. We'll find out tomorrow. It was my mom's birthday today, so I secretly got her a present while getting my schedule and check. TIM DOES NOT GET THE HANG OF NOTES!! I CAN'T WORK ON ANY THURSDAYS UNTIL 6:00!!!!! We went to the Green Mill for supper. Then I went to church and chatted. Jewell had ashes on her forehead, and she told me it was because of Ash Wednesday and that "from dust we were made, to dust we shall return." Then I asked why she didn't have dust on her forehead instead of ashes, and she got confused. Ha ha, I was just messin' with ya', Jewell, I totally got why you had ashes on your forehead. It felt so nice not having to leave at 8:45. I think I'll go see the The Passion of the Christ tomorrow with Motors.
PS: The title has nothing to do with anything, I just couldn't think of anything else. Oh, and if ya'll going to see the movie sometime, I'll still come with as long as I don't work!

Oh, the Joys of Freedom...
Mood: Contemplative
Drove the car today by myself, that was fun. Now if only I could find somewhere to go other than work and church... Watched Family Guy at the Chat Room, then to work. When Jewell came, she was acting kinda weird, hiding under tables and all... Let me just say, Jewell, that if the only reason you don't want to talk about your problems is because you don't want to burden other people, put that thought out of your mind. I want to comfort you, but I can't do it if I don't know how. You can cry in front of me, I won't mind. You can tell me what's up, I won't care. Don't feel like you're being selfish by sharing your problems, I want to listen and to be there for you. In fact, it hurts me knowing that you're feeling down, and I can't do anything about it!!! I think the reason God gave me an easy life is so I can empathize with others and lend a helping hand in their trials. You said you don't want to be alone, so don't push me away.

Life's Lessons
Mood: Somber
God works in mysterious ways... My dad came up to me and said that Mr. Muir had told my mom that I needed to "buckle down." Surprised at this comment, I decided to talk to my mom about it. We discussed conferences, then college, what God has in store for me, and about my potential. Oh, and Mr. Muir just meant "buckle down" on one test I did bad on, not my whole grade. But, hey, I think I got a good graduation speech subject from all this. Then I went back downstairs and studied for Spanish...bleh!

Paper Shredders Should Die!
Mood: Average
I never want to see a paper shredder again. I spent from around 1:00 to about 5:00 at my mom's former office (her firm's moving to a different location) shredding boxes of paper. Scarred for life now. I partially shredded a dictaphone tape, so that added some spice to the day. Afterwards, more parallel parking practice. Tomorrow's the big driver's test day! Wish me luck...and prayers! Filled out the housing application for MSUM next year. Well, that's it...toodles!!

TGIF...Well, I Guess Not Anymore
Mood: Tired...from Running
Running is fun, especially when you've just come home from a hard day's work. Speaking of work, man, was it busy, at least until around 7:00-7:30! Surprisingly, I didn't get all uptight, I just zoned out...should try that more often. Jewell was sad about quitting, but she said she'd come visit often, which is fine with me! At night's end, I had to tear down the dish machine since none of the dishroomers knew how. During English today, Tyrone found a cool sight with nifty Flash videos. Here's a link:
Ninjai: The Little Ninja
WARNING: Contains tons of violence, blood, and some strong language. Just be careful...
Didn't do much else. Well, toodles.

She said YES!!
Mood: Happy
She said yes, she said yes, I asked Jamie to Prom, and she said yes!! Sorry, Jamie, I'm just so happy! Now I don't have to have butterflies anymore! Weeeeeee!!! OK, enough of my ranting and embarrassing Jamie, and on to the rest of my day! School was normal, blah blah blah, then I went to Philosophy Club. We talked about truth, and I think Angela Brockling understands that even though I don't agree with Atheism, I'm still willing to be her friend. The stupid stereotype that Christians are all "bible-thumpers" is stupid. Then I walked to the Chat Room, and hung with Justin, Jewell, and Jamie. That's where I popped the question...not the marriage question, the other question alluded to above. Then I went to work, ate with my family, and came home. The end.

TURN OFF YOUR CAR LIGHTS!!
Mood: Tired, Cold, and Hungry
Last night, I forgot to turn off the headlights on the car, so it was dead this morning. My dad had to use the van to get to work. In English, we finally finished Hamlet! Now we have to write a paper...boooo!! We had such an insanely boring NHS meeting today, I almost fell asleep. I'd rather be guttin cats than that! Then I watch El Rey León, which is The Lion King in Spanish. After school, I had to help my mom chip the ice off the driveway. When my dad got home, we jumped the car and drove to Thompson and back to recharge the battery. Went to church, and Emily was the guest speaker! During SMASH group, we talked about many strange things, but I can't remember any of them. At home, studied for Economics test tomorrow. I think after school tomorrow, I'll go to Philosophy Club for about an hour, then head over to the Chat Room.
Please don't quit, Jewell, I'll cry! (This is going to be my closing statement from now on.)

You've Got a Friend in Me
Mood: Upbeat
Went to the Chat Room today, and I hung out with Jewell, Jamie, and Justin. I missed sock puppets, though  . Jamie said I should change my name so I could be part of their store, but I had to decline. You either take me or you leave me  . Jewell wasn't feeling too good at the Chat Room, but when I got to work later that night, she seemed rather chipper. Jamie and Justin showed up because Jamie's brother and sister were there for some reason. Jamie had some trouble with the whipped cream, so Jewell had to help her out. That woman is the only person I know that gets a sugar high before she has any sugar! When we were closing, we talked about what shows we watched as kids...DAVID THE GNOME ROXORS!! Jewell even helped me out closing, I felt so loved! Please don't quit, Jewell, I'll cry!

Exercise Is Better When You're Hungry
Mood: Promedio
School was normal today, although I don't know if I have the liberty to say that. Does "normal" just mean what happens the most often, or is there an actual set standard? Perhaps we will never know...or care. After school, I decided to go to the Chat Room just to check it out. Maybe I should start reading signs. I didn't see that it wasn't open until Tuesday, so I just walked in on Mark practicing with a few other guys. Yeah, very embarrassing . I'll probably try again tomorrow since I don't work until 6:30. I went to the UND art show at 7:00, and guess what?!...I didn't win. Oh, well, not that big of a deal, at least I got into the show. There were 200 pieces to choose from and only 37 got in, one being mine. So I guess that's an accomplishment. Then I went to Perkins with my mom and dad, and we talked about their premarriage lives. My dad was crazy back then, hard to imagine (not really). Went home and watched a special on The Passion of the Christ. I think Justin, Nate, Jewell, Jamie (if you don't mind seeing it again), and I should go see it on Wednesday after Youth Group. But that's just me.

Boring Day...
Mood: What do you think?
Oofty, nothing to do today, at least for most of it. Went to church this morning (Justine was there, but I think I'm over her for the most part). Laura gave me a Valentine cookie which made me happy. Had pancakes and waffles for lunch. Vacuumed the upstairs. Did my book report PowerPoint. Practiced parallel parking and went to Subway with my dad. Fixed the sidebar on my blog (it had moved to the bottom of the page). Filled out my poem anthology "stuff". This may look like a lot of stuff, but I sat around doing nothing for the most part. Oh well, better than working, except I do enjoy the company of my coworkers. I think I'm actually looking forward to school...scary...

Nice Saturday
Mood: Average
Today started out going to work in...Dishroom. Fear not, I wasn't that angry considering I didn't have to close anything. Trust me, that takes a lot of stress out of the day! I got someone to work for me on Monday with a switch-up involving Mike and Brent. Oh!! That's right, I forgot to tell you yesterday that I got invited to an awards ceremony at the Hugh's Fine Arts Center! The deal is that my dad came to the Royal Fork on Friday (I was hoping one of my family members had died so I could leave work...I know, kinda heartless) to tell me that I might have won an award. So excited!! Didn't do much else after work today except go to Dairy Queen and watch Bruce Almighty. I would have watched Lost in Translation, but it was sold out.

Dishroom Again!!
Mood: Very Mad!!
Dishroom sucks!! Hate it, hate everything!! Not happy at all!! My day was okay other than that. Gave Jewell a Manitone, hooked up Kenny Luk and Lisa Beaver and their going on a date (Lisa hugged me, got all warm and fuzzy inside ). Nothing else good happened today. Grrr!!

Love is in the Air...
Mood: Excited 'Bout Tomorrow
Not for me though, but that's OK, not really trying to have it. Tomorrow is when our school's going to do Valentine's Day stuff since Saturday is the real Valentine's Day. I only bought one Velvatone for each of my evil friends since I wouldn't have enough money for all their classes anyway and I don't know all their classes. Two of them found out, so that took some fun out of it, and to top it all off, they said they're getting me another one! That's just retarded 'cause I know about it! Play a better prank then that! Oh well, I guess I can't expect that much originality out of them. But I know something that they don't (Kenny's getting a rose from a...secret admirer...but don't tell)! Today was uneventful as usual. I think it's because I don't have any enemies; maybe I should get some.. Went to work, and...worked. Jewell was ecstatic about the store, so that was fun to hear her talking about. We had a crew meeting at 8:30, which was pointless as usual. Then I went home...and died. I'm talking to you from the grave...not really. I'm done...

SEALS Ruled Wednesday!
Mood: Sleepysleepysleepy...
Today was the big day. The SEALS team lead Wednesday Night activities. It all went well except for during the middle schoolers time, Nate dropped the mic and he was flustered for the rest of time. I felt bad for him, I know how that feels. He did perfect during high school though, but our movie got screwed up, so we didn't get to see the part with the huge pile of wood burning. Economy was funny; I forgot we had quiz so I just quick cracked open the book and skimmed the terms for five minutes and I aced the quiz. The funny part was that I only studied one section of the chapter  . In Anatomy, I had to give everyone the group 3 & 4 muscle quizzes, which really took out of my time to cut muscles. Not going to volunteer for that again. I found out my Spanish teacher was pregnant, and I asked her if she used First Response to find out. All the guys told me to stop right there. Guys are such pansies when it comes to girly things. Also got my check and schedule today (Tim screwed it up so I'll have to skip Philosophy Club tomorrow...grrrr!). I have to wake up early tomorrow to go to an NHS meeting...grrrr!

Quiz Time!
Mood: Average
Well, I was feeling a bit left out so I took the High School Quiz.
Take the What High School
Stereotype Are You? quiz.
Umm, I'm not sure I quite fit this stereotype. Sure I'm not an outright jerk, but I'm nowhere near a "Goody-Two-Shoes"! Then again, these quizzes aren't exact, so...whatever. I'd like to think I'm more of a "Geek."

Good Day Today
Mood: Excited, but I don't know why...
Added a new banner, although it looks a bit goofy with the stupid "This site is hosted by Netfirms Web Hosting" sign. Unless I ever stop being too cheap to pay the $5 a month, that thing ain't going away anytime soon. I might add bullets, etc, but I dunno...anyway, on to my day. Went to Bible Study and we talked about the first part of the Book of Titus. Afterwards, I was going to go on the Library computers until second period, but I got kicked off because of Math testing. So I went home until second period. I'm getting tired of reading Hamlet. At lunch, I bought a Velvatone for three of my friends who got me one last year (revenge is sweet). However, two of them found out because they eat lunch with me and I really couldn't hide it from them. After school, I chilled until work. Had more groups today, but they weren't that bad. I got to "float" which is the easiest job to do: you basically help whoever needs it, which wasn't really anyone today, so I just did a bit here and there. After I was done, Charissa, Kelly, Jessica, and I reminisced about our childhoods. When I left, I forgot that today was payday, so I'll have to get my check tomorrow. When I got home, I found a letter about a poetry scholarship I had applied to earlier this year. Though I don't think I won (boohoo, no money, ), I do get to be put into an anthology of poetry on faith. I'd post the poem, but I can't post it on the internet; that would disqualify it. Now, just chillin' with the TV watching Conan O'Brien in Toronto. Good for a laugh !

Notice Anything Different?
Mood: Average
Ta Da!! New Templates, weeee!! Don't worry, I'm not going all dark and morbid on you. I've got to add a little more and then you'll understand. Anyway, today went normal. Went to school, blah blah. I went to work at 4:00 and found out we had a group of 120+ Boy Scouts coming!! Argh, I hate groups! Anyway, I just chilled and meat carved until the Boy Scouts came out. Whoo boy, that was scary: tons of little kids babbling and getting food. Jewell ran into the kitchen because little people scare her (still laughing at that!). I just froze and tried not to wet myself. Anyway, night went normal from there, except Dishroom tore the machine down before the room was cleaned up. Whoever works in Dishroom tomorrow morning is going to be ticked off!! Jewell seemed sad today, but I didn't get it out of her why. Oh well, not my business. Tomorrow, if they are available, I'm going to buy Velvatone Singing Telegrams for three of my classmates who gave me one last year. The difference is that I'm going to give them one EVERY SINGLE PERIOD!! That's going to be a lot of money, but it will be worth it...revenge is sweet  !! I think this is the most exclamation points I've ever used in one sitting.

Average Sunday
Mood: Bored...Ho Hum
Got up, went to church. I didn't go to Sunday School because the SEALS Team had to organize what we're doing this Wednesday...that's right, we the SEALS are running this Wednesday's activities (the secrets out)! Oh, who am I kidding, it's not that big of a secret, but it will still be cool! Can't give you anymore details (well, I could, but I won't...). After church, my family minus my dad went to Happy Joe's. Afterwards, I worked on my Frankenstein English papers. Bleh, I hate papers  . Went to get my dad from the airport at 3:30. BTW, thanks for all your prayers! He got me this cool tin poster thingy of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's super! Then I finished my papers. Ate 5 slices of pizza for supper, and then I did miscellaneous stuff on the computer. CBC had Treasure Planet on, so I watched that. It has got to be my favorite Disney movie with the whole father figure theme. Made me cry at the end. Jamie, you were right, I am really feminine. I'm weird that way: I don't cry for myself, I cry at movies and for other people. The only thing I can think of crying for myself is if someone broke up with me, but seeing as how I've never had a girlfriend...anyway, I digress. The movie made me glad I have a dad! Love you, Dad!

Work Stinks!!
Mood: A Bit Angry (but Cooling Down)
ARGH!!  I hate dishroom...especially with third-string workers (won't reveal names)! Didn't get out until 10:45, that's sad. When my mom picked me up, she began asking me silly questions like "Must have been a busy night, huh?" Grrrr, you do not start conversations with angry males. I know females like to, but males, just, no. OK, enough about my workday.
Oofty, was I depressed today! Watched Daredevil and listened to Evanescence, thinking they would make me feel better...why am I so dumb? Hopefully, I can get this whole thing over with soon...um, that sounded a bit suicidal, didn't it? Don't worry, not going to kill myself ! Please leave comments, they do work now!

Up and Down
Mood: A Bit Blue
Today started like any other day. In English, I was cheered up with Jonathan Walters told me that he "reprimanded" Mr. Kaldor for interrupting me in Philosophy Club. Thanks Jon! We had a pep rally at school, but since we have fireworks at them and I'm severly ligyrophobic (fear of loud, sudden noises), I crept out of school. However, I did it without my coat because Mr. Nowatzki was coming around the corner so I had to escape fast. Then I walked to the mall...HOLY COW WAS THAT COLD!! Three people tried to give me a ride, but I declined. Only one dude tried to on the way back. When I was getting back to the school, I tried to move my hand and my muscles felt extremely sore. So I spent the rest of the time constantly moving my arms. A girl cut herself in Art, something that hasn't happened since a different girl nearly sliced off her finger my Sophomore year.
After school, I had to go with my mom to her office where I slept waiting for her. Then we practiced parallel parking, and my mom insisted that I do it in tiny spaces. At 7:00, I went to the Chat Room and listened to Chubby Knuckles, Tones of Emotion, and Dingus. Sam hadn't shown up when Dingus was ready, so they just played cover songs, and they let us sing with them! I got a pretty jiggy with it at times! Afterwards, I chilled for a while until everyone left.
On a final note, I CHICKENED OUT...sorta. The thing is that Snowball was around the corner and it would be kind of early to ask for prom. Jewell thinks it's not such a good idea, but I don't want to miss a chance that I'll regret later. I always end up with competition, it sucks!! Now I'm sad Work's going to be so insanely boring tomorrow.

It's working...IT'S WORKING!!!
Mood: Relieved and a Bit Tired
Well, so ends a long night of trying to get up a website with Grey Matter. Oofty it was full of stupid glitches, and I've barely scratched the surface. Anyway, nothing wholy eventful happened today. Took my first econ test (BTW how'd that go for you, Jewell?). It's funny because Mr. Mord said that tests have very few terms, but the test was plume full of um. I didn't even read chapter 2 or 3 and I think I still did pretty darn good. Oh yeah, Philosophy Club was a bit heated. We're talking about whether Intelligent Design Theory should be taught in school. I think I'm the only 100% Christian. Oh well, Matthew 10:22 "All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." I told them that Carbon Dating is stupid and screwed up, but they just told me I was wrong. Wasn't going to argue for the purpose of arguing. I will fix this site's templates, but I gotta find time. Pray for my dad cause he's coming home from Tennessee Friday morning. Gonna go to the Chat Room show tomorrow! Jamie, I've got something to tell you, but I'll wait till then. I'm so nervous...
