So last night was my school's bonfire; only high school allowed. We took a hundred and some kids on our busses and drove to a house of someone who goes to our school. I layed in front of the fire all night with my friends, and then we went inside and sang praise songs. So altogether, it was amazing. I didn't get home till like, three, though.

Woe is me, I'm sick finally.
It's like the temperature crazy has shaken the days.
Made me fight for the power to get up at this hour.
For the peace, the love, the hungry, the poor
I gotta stop this chemical war.
I made that up just now, like it? Lol. But yeah, I am sick. Woke up with a sore throat, and I begged my mom to let me stay home, since I wanna try and contain this before it gets worse. I wanna be able to go to youth group on Wednesday, and if I miss school on valentines day, I'
It's just about time for me to hit the sack and register about six solid hours of sleep (still operating on winter break time ). So, I thought I'd give you a song.
So long, farewell, until we meet again!
I think, you'll like, the small killer pen!
It'll eat you in your sleep and then you'll wake up and you'll be terrified and scream, "♥TAKi♥!" And then you'll run over to my house and start beating me up with a bendy straw!
O_O
Yeah, I'm confused too...

So, I'm officially starting my new color for a while. I still have to memorize the code, but I have it saved in various places, so I'll learn it fast.
In the meantime, however, Turakii gave me a great idea. And so, today is the start of a new and interesting blog thing.
This is the first installment of Ask ♥TAKi♥! Basically I'm starting an advice column that I'll update weekly. Anyone and everyone is invited to ask for help or for my thoughts on certain things in their lives or just i
So, here's the Ask ♥TAKi♥ for week two.
1) You are as cool as a rock on Pluto.
2) My advice is to get out of this Speedo that you're wearing and finding something more comfortable.
3) I do not suffer from multiple speedo's, no.
4) You mentioned what it stands for, but I can't help but notice it sounds like Speedo...
5) Well, since you said that I'm part of your personalities, I apparently have...eleven?
6) I do have friends in life. I love friends. They tend to be very friendly. And
So, this is the first week of Ask ♥TAKi♥! I got a lot of questions, so I'll answer them, and then I'll be adding them to the new content block, along with my answers.
Yes, it is quite enough, I think. I'll answer these in order.
1) A long time ago, back in 2001, I used to do farm-related things with a group called 4-H. Some of our friends there were close to my older sister Kitty, who was involved in the club as well. But one time, our friend who was about 14 at the time came ove
Exactly one month ago today, my sister, one of my best friends and favorite people in my life, came back in from college in Arizona. I live in Illinois, really far away from Arizona. I was so happy to see her.
Today, I stood outside as tears streaked down my face, paving a road for more to follow. My sister left to go back to Arizona.
I won't see her for six months.
She's my best friend, I trust her with anything. Sure, we fight. But we're only four years apart, and now that we're both
First hot, then cold, then hot again. It's like Mother Nature is trying to pick out the right pair of shoes but can't seem to find them. It's crazy. But anyway, I'm probably gonna get my Xbox 360 this weekend. I was surprised, the other day, however, to find a few Halo 3 and Limited Edition Halo 3 games in a Target by my school. Hadn't there been a monster-mad rush for that game?

So last night I stayed up till 3 in the morning. Not a bright idea on a school day. Lol.
So I discovered that a friend from school is a member on BZP. That was a cool revelation.
And speaking of school, tomorrow might be a snow day. We're expecting 10-16 in. of snow by me tonight!
Any ideas how I could make this blog more desirable to read? Lol.

So I recently lost a sister to the deadly grasp of college, and since then I've been depressed and pushing away from people. But I thought that I might let you all in on something that I've been keeping in the dark for a while.
I love being in a relationship, treating a girl with love and affection, and being loved back. So way back in Feb. I asked this girl to be my girlfriend on Valentine's Day, and she said yes. About two weeks later she wanted to break up with me because people were telli
A long time ago, someone on BZP posted a very interesting blog. I forget the specifics of it, but I remember it going along the lines of the writer (who worked at a department store such as Target or Wal-Mart) telling the readers how much of a help it was when people didn't leave things on random shelves when they decided not to buy them. The writer continued to explain the hassle and time of getting the misplaced items back to their correct spots, and then ended the post by encouraging readers
Today, instead of starting out with my thoughts, I thought (...shut up) that I'd start with the question of the day.
When you're lonely, hurt, confused - who do you turn to? Family, friends, God, pets? What keeps your spirits up?
I ask this because my best friend and I were having an argument (not really an argument, more like a "violent discussion") about if I was lonely because my friends were all busy, or because I wanted to be. And I asked myself, "Now why would I want to be lonely?" A
That's what my dad said to me as we were driving in the car this morning. Of course I smiled and said thanks, but I didn't really know what I was supposed to say to that. I mean, sure I could've gone, "Thanks, you're a great dad." But it doesn't mean the same thing coming back after he says I'm the good son first.
So the question of the day is, have you ever heard something like this from your parents, and what did it make you feel like?

As I woke up today and yesterday, I found myself in utter shock that I wasn't leaping up or getting yelled at for not getting ready for school. The feeling itself was bittersweet. For one thing, no more school for three months! (Yes, I literally get three months. I don't go back till September 8th.) For another thing, I get to sleep in all summer. That's an upside, but it doesn't really matter that much; I don't need much sleep - I nap. But then there was one thing that had me in tears even as I
50 degrees. Fifty stupid degrees. After a week of gorgeous 80 degree weather, you think mother nature would be happy. But, alas, as all mothers, she just bought me a brand new Bionicle, let me hold it, and then stuffed it in a corner for my birthday. Haha.
So, my question of the day for you guys is what are your opinions on this crazy weather? You like it, you hate it, you don't really care because you don't live in the States? Lol.
In other news, I'm drinking a bottle of Ice Mountain wate
It's about 2:30 A.M. right now. My dad and my sister went out to my aunt's house to help plan for the wake and funeral (see last entry). But I can't sleep, and I don't know why. Well, I do, but I wish I didn't. My uncle's passing is nagging at something, and I don't know what it is exactly. All I know is that it's something that I wish I had asked him - something I wish I had a second chance at.
You see, my uncle had a disease known as MS. I'm not exactly sure what it is, or what it does. But
So I had a choice. Either go to a all-nighter church party in Indiana with some friends and my pastor, or go to a morg and see a dead guy dissected on a biology field trip.
I chose the party.
So, I get there, and there are about seventy other kids there. It's in a small (but incredibly nice!) Christian school. I didn't sleep at all, of course. We went duckpin bowling, but I didn't do anything, because I didn't know anyone. As the night went on, I had met about twenty new people, and they
Yesterday was just like, the most amazing day of my life, and I still don't understand it all. But today is Saturday, meaning that I was able to sleep in till twelve in the afternoon. (After staying up till 2 A.M. talking on the phone, that is.) My dad is out at work today, since he's leaving for a two week business trip on Tuesday. However, he told me he was hoping that we could hit up the movies tonight, and maybe go to a local sports bar - Champs - for their Guitar Hero night. Back to the mov
Well, it was inevitable. It had to happen sometime. No matter how much I tried to fight it, it came. I used all my strength, my willpower, my hope, my dreams, and my emotions.
And summer still came.
Lol. It hasn't been that bad, though. I've gotten a very nice tan, I have to admit. And seeing friends hasn't been a problem so far. And another fun little fact: I beat Halo 3 in one day. Haha. Now my friend and I are doing it on Campaign mode. But back to my summer fun. I think that the reason
Hey, everybody. Sorry I haven't been very active on the forums or in my blog as-of-late. I've been swamped by schoolwork now that the school year is down to four weeks. I'm so excited, though, I must say. It's been a heck of a year. The only sad thing is that every person that I'm close with there is planning to leave when the school year's terminar (finished, in Spanish). It makes me really ... distraught. I mean, sure, everyone has to split up some time, but why now? The only reason I'd go bac
Some of you may remember a long time ago, I posted a blog entry about my Rewind mixes that I was making. Well, that was a long time ago, and I think I'm gonna finish that long overdue project. I have my first two mixes up. Even though they have some retarded songs, they still are pretty good.
I'll post more on it later. Oh, and the revamp on the blog has begun.

I'm gonna be revamping my blog in a few days. Maybe tonight if I get bored. Lol. But I need a new display picture. That's the biggest thing. And it has to be of me in a red shirt. I'll just wear a red shirt to my friend's house tonight. That works.
Summer's been...good? Bad? I'm not exactly sure right now. It's been interesting. Two weeks in and already it's all weird. But no matter what, I promised myself that I will never go back to how I was last summer. (Wondering what I was like last su
Well, almost. You see, The All-American Rejects have a new in-studio recording they aired. And they had about seven seconds of a new song.
Let me say, that seven seconds has me so excited for their new album! Thus, I went and made an MP3 of those seven seconds.
So, if you want seven seconds of one of AAR's 2008 songs, let me know. I'll email it to you.
