Boy, has time flown over the past few weeks. Without meaning to, I recently slipped in to a bout of inactivity. I've managed to hop on the forums for a few minutes here and there, but I wasn't able to get much moderating done. Quite a bit has happened over that stretch of time, so here's a quick little update on what's been happening in my life. Over Labor Day weekend, I visited Nate (Than the Moa) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I flew out early on a Thursday morning and arrived a few hours later
Varisty Boys Basketball team is going to play for the State Championship tomorrow night. They have a very good chance of winning, too. But of course, certain circumstances hinder me from being able to go to the game.
Ungh, lemme tell you folks, divorce kills relationships. Fo' reals. And not just between the divorcees.
Should get my Xbox back over the weekend. Good thing, because I have off school Monday. Woo.

...is not this week, it's next week. And of course. ALL other schools in Alabama are more than likely on break already, but we just have to be the weird ones and have another week of school before we get off. But, the good thing is that traffic isn't as bad in the mornings. I hit nearly all green lights this morning ont he way to school.
And Saturday is going ot be a blast. We're meeting at the school at about 5 or so, and leaving around 5:30 on our way to Six Flags. So far we've got a group
After I finish this paper I'm writing (procrastinating) tonight, I'll officially be on spring break for my last year in undergraduate school. I'm still not sure if I'm going to pursue graduate school, as I've run across a few job opportunities in the city I currently live in. Honestly, I could still work in Montgomery and travel to Auburn two or three times a week for classes, but it's a 40+ minute drive both ways and I'm not sure if I want to deal with that. I would still very much like to go t
I still downright hate giving speeches to groups of people. I've done it numerous times before and have done exceptionally well in some cases. It's just an innate fear I have no control over.
This is dumb.
I shouldn't be this comfortable wearing t-shirt and shorts in the middle of December. Just last week I thought I was going to freeze to death. This southern weather needs to make up its mind.
I managed to make a 107 on my Physics test today. B)
And I also took the ACT this past weekend and I feel fairly confident about how I did. Overall, the test just seemed easier than last year. I also managed to finish each section, unlike last year. I'm hoping for a score ranging anywhere from a 27
I recently saw a list of all the known songs on Guitar Hero 3 and needless to say it got me quite excited. Anywho, here's a list of songs I'm anxious to play:
She Builds Quick Machines ~ Velvet Revolver
Knights of Cydonia ~ Muse
Reptillia ~ The Strokes
Welcome to the Jungle ~ Guns 'n Roses

3's and 7's ~ Queens of the Stone Age
October 28th can't
Does anyone else read these marvelous fantasy epics by George RR Martin? I have been deeply enthralled by everything Game of Thrones for about the past year. I'm currently on book three, "A Storm of Swords." I have always been a fan of fantasy novels, but these stories offer something different. Throughout the books (and HBO show), we have seen and heard whispers and rumors of a deeper magic lying dormant in Westoros. After hundreds, possibly thousands of years, that deep magic is starting to
Today was our schools first volleyball team. Both the JV and Varsity teams won. Go girls!
Anywho, tomorrow is our first Varsity football game. Most people I know are going to atleast try and come, it's pretty much tradition to come on the first game. There's no point in going elsewhere, cause most of your friends will be at the game anyways. lol. But, it should be fun. I believe I'll be filming atleast half the game, for around $20 bucks, if I can swap with another guy at half time so we b
It doesn't sit well with me knowing that these awesome friends I'm making are going to be leaving in a few short months. They've become really good friends of mine and I hate to see them go.
But who am I...
So I haven't been on BZP much lately the past few days. But I have a reason...I think..
Went to Chattanooga, TN, Monday, got back Tuesday evening. Stoped by the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museam. That was fun, for about 30 minutes. Downhill from there. Although I did get nice comments on my shirt. Those are always nice.
So thats my excuse for Monday and Tuesday, but what about Wednesday and today? It's all gone by pretty quicky (thanks to it being summer - I've lost track of what day it is
So far I've logged 34+ hours in Skyrim. I've collected 9 dragon souls so far. My characater, Jochanan, is a conjuring battlemage that primarily uses fire magic. He can transform into a werewolf on a single whim, devouring any who oppose his beastly demands. Oh, and I stumbled upon spoilers. D: The poster claims it was an accident and a "glitch" what he was doing, but apparently it was spoilers too!
For the first time in quite a long time, I've come down with some illness. I don't think it's the popular swine flu, mostly because I haven't been running a fever. I have, however, been having drainage down the back of my throat, as well congested sinuses. I woke up at 4 AM today coughing my lungs out. I ended up vomiting for the first time in years. I was also sweating like a pig.
Needless to say, I skipped my one class today and stayed in bed for the majority of the afternoon. Hopefully I'
Seeing a motion picture from the second row is never fun. I've just decided that I -haven't- seen Sherlock Holmes yet until I can sit up in the theatre a bit more (our theatre has stadium seating).
However, from what I could watch, Holmes was a great movie. Murder-mysteries are one of my top favorite types, along with Sci-Fi/Fantasy films and Sherlock Holmes ranks up on my list of favorite movies of 2009.
I particularly enjoyed the bond between Holmes and Watson. Guy Ritchie (the directo
I've probably got the largest case known to mankind. It's gotten to the point where I don't pay one bit of attention in class.
Why do all the teachers have to decide to give us one last test before spring break? Physics, Brit. Lit, College Algebra, and Vocab all tomorrow? Geez, people.
So I'm a Senior in high school now. Today was my last day because I found out that I'm exempt from -all- of my exams. I know Than, you can't get exempt. I'm sorry for you.
On the other hand, the season finale for Heroes was superb. More questions answered than new ones, I'd say, which makes it easier to wait for season 2. I can't wait for the DVD box set of season 1 because I missed the first half of the season.
It's summer. I finally get to stay up late, sleep in late, and work to make
Well, I've been meaning to do this for a while now, but I've finally found the motivation and time to organize and get this off the ground. I have decided to sell most of my old BIONICLE sets and collectibles. Sets include: most Nuva, 3 Rahkshi, some Bohrok/Kal, all Hordika, Keetongu, Ultimate Dume, two Visorak, one Rahi, all Vahki, and some other sets I can't really remember what they're called. My collectibles include: ALL Kanohi olda + gold & silver, most Nuva, most misprints, as well as
San Antonia, Texas, is a very cool place. I would not mind moving there if I ever had the option to. Six Flags, Sea World, Riverwalk, Schilterbahn (sp?) not too far away, Corpus Christi to the south, Houston to the east, Dallas/Fort-Worth to the North.
I also wish I didn't get to so attached to my friends. It sucks leaving a great friend knowing you won't see each other for a couple more months. I'm just happy we got to enjoy the short time we had together. Hopefully he will decide to be sta
Went to a birthdayparty/LAN party on Saturday. 'Twas really fun, playing Halo 2 and all. Also played this game with a hackey-sack, where you are in a group, and after the third consecutive kick, someone grabs the ball, and pegs the nearest person. Lots of fun.
Also put some Mentos in Diet Check (knock-off brand of Coka-Cola). The reaction was pretty cool. Tried to convice our Chemistry teacher to do the experiment again sometime.
I learned how to play the Phantom of the Opera "dun dun du
Graduation went by very quickly. I got many compliments on my speech, though my sisters of course had to ruin it by saying I spoke too fast. Afterwards we went to Applebee's (I didn't eat anything because I went to Chili's before the ceremony) then to a friends house and walked around his neighborhood at 11:00 at night.
So far, I've made approximately $1,060 from friends and family. Should be plenty to get a nice laptop in addition to the $700 my parents will pay. I've got to start on some T
