Not much to say about today. I missed cartoons and talking to Amy this morning because I felt like shit when I woke up. I went to Deep Sea Warwick today. I got the tour and filled out forms for an hour and that was it. I start next weekend. I'll be working Saturday night and Sunday morning. I went to Winn Comics with Dad too, and I bought some kick ass Magic cards. Chlorophant, Llewan Cephalid Empress, and a second Paladin en-Vec. My most wanted card right now is Rith, the Awakener. I want to substitute him into my deck for Darigaaz and make it a red, green, white deck rather than a black, red, green one. Krista stopped by today to get her things. Being the klepto that I am, i walked out of her house with 2 hair ties. I also owed Jake some Yu-gi-oh cards from the summer. I decided to rekindle my artistic side and turn my ceiling into a giant kaleidescope (thank you, Kerry) at the request of princess Krista. joey is coming home next weekend, but I'm working. I need to play Magic with someone badly. I've been up late alot recently, so I'm going to turn in now. Good Night.

Today was better than yesterday, but not by much. The bus to Burke left without me this morning, so Jimmy, Amanda Undy and I were stuck at Seward for an hour waiting. School wasn't bad at all. I just hate the whole book bag thing. The hallways are way too crowded. Today, throughout the entire day everyone kept saying to me "Come to the football game, come to the football game." and I was like "NO!!!!" As soon as I get home, Krista calls and asks if I want to go to the Warwick football game. I hate football. I ended up just going to her house and chillin for a little while with her, Melissa, Jackie, Brianne, Anthony, and Alex. It was interesting to say the least. I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to bed now. Good night.

Well, since I last wrote more bad things have happened. After I posted, I took a nice long nap. When I woke up, Michele was here packing up her stuff. She's trying to get me to like her real bad, and I'm not buyin it. She brought my guitar back from LBI and its got new strings on it and it smells like lysol. Basically what this is saying is that that stupid guy was playing it, after I deliberately told her not to let him, crapped it up with his cigarette smoke, and tried to cover it up. Good work ass hole. now I have to get new strings and de-ass-hole-icate Jerry before I can play. I also made the mistake of telling Dad that Michele was here when he got home. He got all mad and whatnot and wouldn't talk to me.

I'm in a bad way right now. I'm not liking anything anymore. I'm really sorry if my depression is spreading to you or anything like that, but I can't help it. Wish me luck for tomorrow, I'm just going to have to endure. Its our duty to endure.

What a day I have had. Yes I know its only 4:45, but still. I have no desire at all to go back to that school. I don't even think I'll go tomorrow, I have no reason to. Its a fucking prison. They might as well write Burke Penetentiary on the sign. Hell, prison would be an improvement. First off, there are a few things I'm going to enjoy this year, bt they are far out-weighed by the bad things. The good things are that we now have bigger lockers, I'm an upperclassman so I can go on the path, and I got all teachers I like. The negative aspects encompass pretty much everything else. First, I've waited for 2 years for the privelage of walking through the front doors, and they took that away from us. Second, The disciplinary system is way to strict. Now, in addition to serving a detention for a tardy demerit, the definition of late has been extended from not being in the classroom when the bell rings tonow being in your seat when the bell rings. Next, we're only allowed to go to our lockers three times a day, once before homeroom, (first period) before our lunch period, and at the end of the day. So that means that I have to carry around 4 text books, 4 notebooks and any amount fo workbooks with me for the entire morning. the bright side of this is that we're now allowed to carry backpacks in the halls. Yeah, there are 300 incoming freshmen, it was crowded today without them. I hate this school so much now. I didn't really mind it the first two years, but its really getting to me now, and its only the first day. Oh, also, I have 5th period lunch. In the entire lunch, of 150 people, I think I'm aquanted with maybe 5 of them. the bright side of this is that I have the middle lunch period, and have an even afternoon and morning, and the five people are Lendl, Melissa, Greg, Joe Galbo, and Samantha. In other bad news, thanks to Phil Casabona not mailing me the drivers ed form, the class is now full and theres no way I can take drivers ed and complete it by the end of the year. Now theres almost a 100% chance I will not be getting my lisence until I take drivers ed in the spring semester, which means I won't be driving this year at all. This completely sucks because the morning bus ride is completely horrid. Last year, I was the last one picked up, and the ride to seward took 10 minuites. This year, however, I'm the third or fourth one picked up, the bus goes to Villiage Park and then all the way to Durland road in Goshen to pick up one kid, and then back to Seward to drop me off, where I have to get on another bus to go to Burke Penetentiary. The afternoon ride is still the same though: Seward late bus. So to sum up: today was horrible, Burke sucks, Florida bussing sucks, and I need to go take a nap or something. Bah.

Mood: Horrible.

I'll get the update overwith early today. I'm going to go to bed at around 8:00 tonight, because I have to get up for school tomorrow. A part of me is actually excited to go back, just to see people. I've missed seeing the whole lot of them all summer. Oh, and due to this endless rainstorm we've been having, I'll get to wear my yellow duck hood jacket. What a perfect way to start out the year right? Today I finished my report for The Great Gatsby, and made the most amazing Magic deck ever. I'm going to try and get people to play magic at school some days. It would be cool if we had an actual Magic club. I didn't play Soul Caliber at all today. I don't really have anything else to write about right now either.

Mood: Lazy.

Soul Caliber 2 is the most amazing game ever. I'm sure you're sick of hearing about it from me by now, but its the truth, I love this game so much. I'm officially Kilik, just because he pwnz for free. He has some sick moves, let me tell you. So i'm on chapter 9 in Weapon Master mode. Matt Picarello's charachter is on level 80. I don't even want to know how he got that far. I don't think the kid pees. So besides play Soul Caliber, today I read The Great Gatsby, and wrote the essay for The Glass Menagerie. All I have to do is the essay for Gatsby tomorrow and I'm finally done. I'd write more, but its time for Adult Swim. Good night.

There's so much going on right now, but I'm just zoning out. School starts in two days. I'm supposed to start working tomorrow, but I have no way to get there. I still haven't finished writing my stuff for school. I have to write an essay for The Great Gatsby and for The Glass Menagerie. Thats going to be tomorrow's assignment though. Today was a drab day and a half. It rained all day long. Dan enders came over, but it seemed like he was only here for ten minuites. Every time he comes over, its like theres not enough time to do stuff. My theory is that he exists outside of the space time continuum and whenever I see him, I'm passing through...nah forget it. Time flies when you're having fun, as they always say. They also say that time flies like an arrow, and fruit flys like a banana. If you get that, good for you. I overcame my fears today, for which I am very proud of myself. Especially since this morning I wrote an essay on overcoming fear. So I called Danielle to ask her out, but she said no. She said its because we're too good friends and whatnot, which is really true. I was somewhat dissappointed, but I can't say I didn't partially expect it. I'm starting I'm just not meant to be with anyone yet. Maybe I should pick a religion and be a priest, I don't know. I couldn't do that either, I don't have the discipline to commit to something that serious. So I guess i'm done for today. I have so much to do tomorrow, and I really don't want to do it. Good night bowl of mush, good night moon.

Well sooner or later this cold
it's gonna break
so our hands will be warm again,
but all I want is not to need you now.
And sooner or later this code
it's gonna break
So our words will be heard again,
but all I want are vows of silence now.

Today was a very good day. This morning Gene came over and I fixed his laptop, bringing my tech support counter up to like 4. Joey Casabona eat your heart out. Then poop it out, then put it back in your chest, then eat it out again. So then this afternoon was Krista's big party. She came to pick me up because she can drive. Sigh. It was alot of fun. I met all the people I hear John and Krista talking about all the time, and they were really cool. I got to see Brianne too, which was cool because I never see her. Kristen was there too. She is officially the coolest girl in the world. We had a good sit together. You don't really know a person until you have a good sit with them. We played Manhunt, but it got really boring. Brianne and I just want and laid on the ground and looked at the clouds for a half hour. I played Matt in Soul Caliber 2 and I didn't do too bad. The first time I took him to a fifth round, and he won by a quarter of a life bar. The second time, however, I got massacred because CRB got the controller all slimy and I couldn't hold it. He's such an oaf that kid. I'm pretty tired, so I'll end it there. I apoligise to Brianne, my one true loyal Blogger fan, for not writing more like I know I should. I promise once school starts I'll write more. Especially since alot more will be going on then too. So adieu and good night.
