Crud. Jut got back from having my braces put in. They're really fun to slide your tongue over..... But they really hurt. They're all sore and stuff. Ungh. Having braces put in is terrible, just terrible. 1. They put pumice in your mouth (yes, the stuff that shoots from volcanoes and buried Pompeii). 2. They slide these weird things in the sides of your mouth. 3. They insert this complicated tubing system over your tongue to suck out saliva. 4. It takes forever. 5. The glue sometimes fall into your mouth. 6. IT'S REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. 7. The brackets take a really long time to fix in the right position. 8. It's uncomfortable. 9. Then you need to put on these big yellow sunglasses. 10. They have this light that they put over every tooth for 10 seconds each. Do the math. 11. They need to put the wire under a lighter. Don't ask me why. 12. They're really sore. 13. They take forever to tighten and adjust. 14. Due to the geological arrangement of my teeth, I look like a freak with these new braces. 15. Almost forgot: I can't eat subs normally anymore. 16. An allover CRUD. There you have it. 16 reasons not to get braces..... *sigh* I envy the straight toothed.

Okay, I'm feeling happy again now. I was a rather depressed last night, but I'm better now – a day of bright sun, at least six inches of snow on everything, and just a normal day at school will do that to one. And yes, a normal day at school can make one happy. As exams were last week, we got them back today – I wound up with an A+ in Biology, French, and Latin, an A in Advanced Algebra, an A- in English, and a 97 in History (not sure what letter grade equates to exactly). I am happy. Although comically annoyed at myself – I filled in the wrong bubbles on two multiple choice questions – despite knowing the right answer and circling it on the test! And to think I would have gotten a perfect 100 if I had caught those. But oh well! I also haven't actually seen my Latin exam yet (Dr. Jones was out), but the headmaster dropped in with our quarter, semester, and midterm grades for the class, so I found that I had gotten an A+. As I said, we had a pretty easy translation, and now I'm pretty sure I got the meaning of coatus est right, even if not the literal translation, and that's more what Dr. Jones is interested in... Nocturn approaches! And the Viking Longship! I can't wait for this weekend. ~ ToM

No I am not talking about Disturbed. For the past week I have been sick. Yeah sick, like everyone else is during this time. However it is different this year for me. My family has a great immune system, a family trait I take with great pride in. So with that in mind, I have no allergies whatsoever. I can get a bee sting, and wipe it off with a poison ivy leaf. I also rarely get majorly sick. I never had the flu, nor a flu shot. I have extremely low cholesterol, one that my doctor says that people will kill for. The most dramatic effects in my health is the common cold, a sore throat and a stuffed head for like a week. However things changed this year. I got the sore throat and the stuffed head. I never take any medicine to help, so I always brush it off without a care cuz it goes away anyways. Tables have turned on me. I actually had to stay home yesterday because I was sick. That is the first time in a really long time that I have done that. And for the most part, I have been feeling like crud. So I hope I get better. -Omi

Well, I should be at school right now. But I'm not. You see, in a few hours I'm getting my top braces put on. It's no to gum for good. Oh, god, help me! How can I enjoy the meal before the exocution?

Last night I was feeling sick of my crowded junk-filled room, so I decided to do something about it. For over a year now, my bed was resting on two saw-horses, my closet was filled with random junk, and things slowly piled up under my bed, on my desk, and all over my shelf unit. Well, I was up all night last night starting this daunting task, and I got everything out from under my bed, which was a lot. My bed was about 3 ft above the ground (I wanted it elevated then), stuffed with a ton of things underneath. So I pulled everything out! My entire room was then filled with junk, you couldn't even see the floor! ( well, you could, but you know what I mean. ) Then I went to bed. I spent all day today cleaning and organizing my things. My closet was packed with who knows what, and now it's almost empty! Nothing's under my bed, and nothing ever will, because it's on a platform now... real low to the ground. I'm finally almost done! I just have to find a place for some things... and then vacuum, of course. So tired...

And down falls Iowa State. Who should've fallen by more, and sooner than they did. Sutton, get our guys focused! Curry and Boggan look sloppy lately. Fix that. The Kansas game shouldn't've happened, and the A&M game certainly shouldn't've happened, especially after a massive home-court win over Texas. C'mon guys, play to your potential like you did against Pitt back in December! Oh, and Hatch? I love your hair. Totally.

All your refrigerator are belong to us. Someone get the glue solvent. I don't think he'd fit in the washer.

Music: Jack Sparrow and The Kraken, Hans Zimmer Mood: drained but happy So midterms are going on this week – today was Advanced Algebra in the morning and World History II in the afternoon, which have left me drained but happy. I spent most of yesterday reviewing for Algebra – the class being equivalent to taking both Algebra II and Precalculus in one year, it's thoroughly exhausting, but I'm finally on top of things around it. I actually understood the formulas for sums of sequences, explicit and recursive definitions, sigma, and logs better than when we did them in class. (Well, maybe not logs, as we just did those.) But the exam wound up being a lot easier than I expected! Although that doesn't mean it was easy. Oh no. There were exactly 28 questions on the whole exam, of which we chose 20 to do. But there were exactly twenty I had no problem at all with (they just took more than an hour and a half to do), so I actually think I did fairly well... Especially because this was easily going to be my hardest exam. Yee! History was for the most part easy (there were a couple multiple choice questions where the answer was ambiguous, I thought), but with a really long (but really easy) essay... Then tomorrow I have Biology and English, then on Friday Latin and French. Usually I have Latin last, in the conflict exams spot (two languages! Woo!), but this time around I have French then. I like having Latin last, with so few other people taking exams with me; it's such a relaxing and enjoyable test. I finished my final last year in 45 minutes and then got a 99.5 on it because I forgot to translate the word "et." Meanwhile listening the PotC2 soundtrack is giving me even more ideas, so I hope to have some time soon to keep writing chapter 13... Given how rare it is for me to start a new chapter right after finishing the old one. So now I'm off to study for Bio and English. *dives back in* ~ ToM

Poor BoA. During preparations for Made in Twenty, her foot started to ache badly and after an MRI scan, she learned that she had (and still has) an 'inflammation' in her foot. So she got the advice not to dance for 6 months. EDIT: It was a mistranslation. Another interview said that BoA was unable to dance well the past six months. *hug* I truly wish I was with her to keep her comfort. It's also unfortunate, because BoA has the Made in Twenty tour comping up in March and April of this year. So I think she'll be sitting a lot... I really wish BoA the best of luck and I'll pray for her tonight. Let's all do that. ----- I haven't been feeling all too great myself either for the last couple of weeks. I kept having this strange bad feeling that something is about to happen. Something bad. Most people will just shrug it off and say it's nothing, but I won't. I know that something will happen, but I don't know what and it kind of scares me. What if my grandfather dies or someone else? ...I'd rather not think about it right now tho. ----- As you might have noticed, The Driver is trying to get you to put a certain message in your sig. I'd really appreciate it if you don't do it. Needless to say I'm not much in the mood right now to play along. Not to mention I don't like being told what to do or what to buy. The Driver wants me to buy Counter-Strike Source. My mother wants me to buy a bike. A friend of mine wants me to use the money for a ticket to Fields of Rock. I just want to buy some simple and cool clothing. Yeah... ----- I had an overall lousy day today. I was too late at work today. Boss wasn't all too happy, but it wasn't my fault a certain person took €120 off my banking account, putting my amount of money deep into the negatives. That has been resolved though... Fortunately. There was a little positive thing today. The Naturelle BoA photo book I ordered had arrived. And the pictures in the book are simply amazing. It's a big book and I think it has over a hundred pages. Still waiting for Made in Twenty to arrive though.... Then I'll have a little break off ordering music and DVDs. Time to regroup.

I like to write, and I wish I were good at it. I suppose when talent's not an option you just gotta train the skill... But while sometimes the words just flow and you know the situation and it's just THERE and it all fits, other times I have to force it out the tip of my fingers. Like those annoying dried paint tubes, where you can hardly get the cap off and the tube itself is so scrunched up you gotta piledrive it to force anything out of it. ANYWAY. It's just hard, you know? If I need this thing here to fill the space in the plot, but it's not something that I've got really planned, it simply gets me stuck. I can't wing it at all. Every little portion needs a genius spark of inspiration behind it, I can't simply write the long sections of content that are rather boring to write and end up being boring to read. Either I figure out a way to keep the action flowing at all times or I figure out a way to do a whole lot of nothing but make it interesting. Yet both are equally hard. I suppose practice makes perfect. A whoooooole lot of praticing ahead of me then.

The public school in this area is very strange. Who would want to have to come back from a two week-long holiday break only to do finals after the break. I don't understand why in the world the school system would want to do that, or why they did. Also, today because of finals week, they scheduled the Jr High band class at the same time as the 1st-2nd grade's music class, so we had to walk from the Jr/Sr High school up to the elementary school with our teacher (because it's the same teacher for both) to "preform" for the younger children. I didn't mind that so much, but because the schedules weren't exactly matched, we had to walk back down to the High school without our teacher while she continued to instruct the 2nd graders.

I am jealous no longer. Everyone writes about this in their blogs, it's finally my turn. I finally got to rights to blog about this. Too bad you don't get to hear about it. Okay fine. I thought all our snow was gonna melt. It only still existed in the form of ice in shadowed yards and unplowed streets. But this morning we got about 1/8th inch of snow!

Okay, I didn't get time yesterday to post this (for reasons which will be elaborated in this entry) and two more very interesting things happened today, so I'ma gonna need ta post two entries consecutively. Anyway, yesterday... was very busy. Because in the evening I had this college seminar from 7 to 9, and I had Digital Darkroom afterschool (Computer Graphics club). You can imagine what I thought when, on the late bus ride home, our bus decided to get a flat tire. We had to wait something like half an hour for another bus, driven by a mechanic that would switch places with our bus driver and fix the tire, to come by and pick us up. On that note, however, I did finish a VERY good book by T.A. Barron on that extended bus ride home: Book II of the Great Tree of Avalon trilogy, Shadows of the Stars. Darn you, Murphy!

Over the weekend i was sick i couldn't stand up without feeling dizzy i Coughed & Sneezed pretty much every 5 seconds (at the least)So anyway after Dinner i took a few tablets which would hopefully make me feel better,today when i woke up the dizzy feel was gone but i still felt ill and i got a sharp pain wheniver i coughed sneezed or laughed (Learned through comedey related experience) so i took another two pills and after lunch had some medicen in a small cup which i learned is not wise to drink in one whole gulp cause you'll just spit it back into the cup automatically. So i've pretty much had a three day weekend which is good but i'm gonna kick myself if i learn they were doing something cool while i was away. Edit:STILL ill jeez i am so gonna be behind on homework EDIT 2:I'm cured so long Flu!Once again my immunity system pulls through!

Right now, my family and I are watching Sci-Fi channel's TV movie Grendel. It is based on the first part of Beowulf, yet the writers made so many changes to the original story that I am bored with it. The Beowulf on the screen is not quite the Beowulf I read in my English book. But the best part was the music -created by Nathan Furst! Well, it's late; I need to go to bed.

Now that I'm old enough to appreciate the non-dumbed-down little-kid abridged versions of good ol' Samuel Clemens' work, I find it highly entertaining. Mark Twain was a very funny man. We're doing Huck Finn in English class right now, and the way he writes the situations and how so many characters have NO idea what they're talking about... Like the scene where Tom Sawyer is forming their little "Band of Robbers" and talking about killing people and robbing them (naturally, we're talking a group of rowdy boys here; they'll be murdering and robbing bundles of hay or something, all pretend) and then someone asks if they have to kill everyone and Tom says, well, no, you keep some prisoner until they're ransomed. "Ransomed? What's that?" "I don't know. But that's what they do. I've seen it in books; and so of course that's what we've got to do." "But how can we do it if we don't know what it is?" "Why, blame it all, we've got to do it. Don't I tell you it's in the books? Do you want to go to doing different from what's in the books, and get things all muddled up?" "Oh, that's all very fine for you to say, Tom Sawyer, but how in the nation are these fellows going to be ransomed if we don't know how to do it to them? --that's the thing I want to get at. Now, what do you reckon it is?" "Well, I don't know. But per'aps if we keep them till they're ransomed, it means that we keep them till they're dead." "Now that's something like. That'll answer. Why couldn't you said that before? We'll keep them till they're ransomed to death; and a bothersome lot they'll be, too-- eating up everything, and always trying to get loose." "How you talk, Ben Rogers. How can they get loose when there's a guard over them, ready to shoot them down if they move a peg?" "A guard! Well that is good. So somebody's got to set up all night and never get any sleep, just so as to watch them. I think that's foolishness. Why can't a body take a club and ransom them as soon as they get here?" I absolutely LOVE the line "ransomed to death." Go Mark Twain and yer never-ending wit! =D

I don't think I've ever realized how much who I am, and who I am perceived to be, how much I do, don't do, and want to do, is all controlled by needs and desires I have hidden inside. I was once told I was good at sarcasm. So now I'm sarcastic to the nth, because I think people like it. I feel it makes people like me. Becuase I'm good at it. I was once told I was funny. So I use 'humor' to lighten everything. If I make you laugh, you like me, right? I'm told I'm smart. So knowledge is a pursuit I follow to prove I'm something. You'll like me if I can tell you the answer to anything and everything, won't you? You don't see me. You see who I want you to see. You see the me I think you're going to like best. Because I want you to love me. I want you to like me. I want you to accept me. It's time to come clean, I guess. I'm afraid of being alone forever. I'm afraid of not being accepted. I want attention. I want you to like me. But now I want to be real. To be honest. To be me. I fall. Oh, how I fall. I lie. I cheat. Every day. Every hour? I'm not perfect. I don't want anyone to think that. I'm probably below you all. I'm probably worse than all of you. Because I'm fake. True growth cannot be attained when I hide. True community cannot be attained when I fake it all. I want to be in the light. I want to love you. Not so you'll love me, but because I want to love you. Selflessly, and whole-heartedly. Yes, you. I want what's best for you, over me. It's crazy. Can it really be that easy? [Edited from it's original 'DWC was awesome, here's what I learned!' post from my personal journal to be religious-free. Which kinda sucks, but hey, them's the breaks, and I'm okay with that. So hey, here's some transparency you probably don't see every day. At least, not from me, y'dig? (Oh, and yeah, Dallas was awesome, and I learned more about everything than I have in the last fifteen years of my faith. Probably more than I've learned about anything for the entire nineteen and a half years I've lived. Weird, no?]
