I was going to post my thoughts on my recent Skrall purchase but that's going tohave to wait. I was walking along the hall in the basement of my house that runs along on side and stepped in something wet. No problem I thought, one of my brothers probably spilled something. Turns out they didn't. The ground on that side of the house has never had good drainage. There's a hill that gently slopes down, then there's a door into the house, and then there's another hill that slopes back up. In past years there has always been huge puddle there. There's a cement slab that runs along the wall of the house. Normally the puddle at it's biggest, ends between the edge of the slab and half way across the slab. This year it didn't. Right now there's at least an inch of water sitting directly against the house. It was also running up against the door. I put down some plastic with sand bags on top so that should stop most of the water from getting in. My dad will also be getting a pump when he gets home from work tonight.

It feels sort of a breath of fresh air. After being really busy for I don'tknow how long it feels good to have almost nothing to do. I have a some math homework but I'm already over half way done with it. I also have a paper I need to finish. That paper is probably going to be the hardest thing to finish. I don't even want to think about it right now. I also want to try to learn Morse code. That's going to be a challenge, although I've learned the three letters that I need for my first name.

I just woke up from a weird dream; LEGO sent me three free Bionicle Stars sets for some reason. -TN05

Lately the weather has been really nice out. Upper 30's, lower 40's. All the snow is starting to melt. The only downside to this nice weather is that the sidewalks around the college have all turned into ice. While normally don't have a problem with I don't really like it. Running has gotten off to a good start too. If it stays nice like this should have no trouble getting ready for track.

Most of yesterday and today was spent painting the two largest rooms of my house. Actually it would be one room, but the fireplace breaks it in to two rooms. The top of the two rooms is pretty high, over twelve feet. It was pretty interesting crawling around on boards that we had set up, trying paint. For some odd reason our large (and overfilled) living room looks smaller when there is nothing in it.

Another Track season is fast approaching. There's going to be a parents meeting on March 1st. The first practice is going to happen on March 15th. This year they're not going to have morning practices during spring break, probably because they only had half the team at the spring break practices last year. Hopefully I'll be able to participate in the pentathlon the team is doing. Last year everyone in my family had the stomach flu, which wasn't fun at all. It will be interesting to see where I'm at this year. Last year I started off right where I left off in terms of race times. I think for this season my goal is to run the 800m under 2:30. My personal record from last, set at the last meet of the season, was 2:42. I think a 12 second drop is a reasonable expectation. I also ran more after track ended so I'm a lot better off this year then last year.

Just started playing Agori Defender. Don't know what it is about it, but it is so addicting! -TN05

I went for my first run of the season today. I was testing the waters, both figuratively and literally. I think it went pretty I'm no where near the shape I was in at the end of last year but I'm still in a lot better shape then the beginning of last year. I ended up going through a puddle. I thought I would be able to get through it. Turns out it was deeper then I thought so my shoes are soaked. Hopefully they'll be reasonably dry by the end of this week. The two things I need most are a warmer light weight jacket, my current one is just a shell, and a new pair of shoes. I bought my current one over a year ago.

I am finally back to Premier Membership again! Yay! -TN05

On sunday I had to go to the copy store to get copies of the program for my troop's court of honor. While I was there I got the poster that was released recently printed out. Personally I would have like it a little bigger. Right now I have it as a 11x17. The only problem was that there was an almost $20 difference in price between the size I got and the next largest size. It would have also been about 24 hours before I could have gotten it. It doesn't look too bad even though the aspect ratio isn't quite the same.

Snow Snow Snow Snow....headphones...and More Snow
Popup2: The Camel posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_570
We got a lot of snow. Like 1 1/2 feet. But unfortunately it wasn't the right kind of snow. Aha that might be the sound I've been hearing all day. Maybe my bro is making a snow man with his alternative method ^^ I can't tell you how but its probably easy to guess. Well any way since last year my neighbour got a snow blower but it was broken, so my dad fixed it. So now its like a communal snow blower. So since we had a ton of snow he maxed out the tork (spelling?) of it so it sent the snow like 10-15 feet depending on the wind. But then I still had to shovel the bottom layer. But it wasn't too bad. Well my old headphones are now completely dead >.<. They were really good quality sound, but fortunately we had a spare around. But unfortunately the sound quality isn't as good. So I'm going to get another pair of my old ones and keep my current one as a spare. Woops....Forgot to post this this morning.. Oh well, I'm just watching the super bowl while doing the Home work I neglected on the weekend. -
I had the ACT this morning. Out of all the thngs that I have/had to get done recently this was probably the least stressful. I had studied a little bit the beginning of last month but I really didn't put too much work into it. I feel like I did a pretty good job. I can count on my fingers the number of problems that I'm not sure if I got right. I really didn't have much trouble with the time limits. When I did the practice tests I cut it really close on the math and science sections but today I was done with just about everything before they called five. The fact that I had some previous experience with some of the science parts really helped. Now I get to wait until I find out how I really did. =P

Going to my friends party makes me look forward to mine ^^ Just a week away. It just had to be school day :/ but I'm waking up really early and cooking an entire bacon pack just for me ^^. I just finished up my history cards. I'm writing a paper on Islam and I have a WHOLE lot to read on it and I'm really busy... Oh, today, after school, we got to see Wooster and Jeeves the tv show that our play was based on. Oh man it was hilarious. Although I CAN wait to do the newt dance...Its my part and this is what the script says: " Leans back and shakes chest vigorously" oh boy is that part going to be fun to play. And my other character I play is Rismby and he steals the oddest things lol. I stole an elk lol I can't wait till we do it, but I'm probably going to have to go to EVERY practice because my bro is the main character and he has to be there every day almost... I need to get to sleep, I have school tommorow and I wound not like to be half asleep again lol (Although I've never actually fallen asleep in class) I'll leave you with the final words of the play "Well Sir, one cannot make an omelet with out breaking any eggs."

Man I am so tired... After church I went to my friends house and stayed there for his B-Day party. Man was it fun. Probably the best thing that happened was the games we played. We played Dirtball and Mafia. In dirtball I kept rising up through the ranks, vice dirtball 4th commoner, 1st commoner but then we stopped. Then in Mafia I kept on becoming the mafia and I once had a very fun round. There were three people mafians, me and another maffian voted off one of the mafians so that left me and some one else. Then in the voting I helped vote the other one off. So I was the only mafian for the rest of the game. Over all it was a very fun time but now I am very tired. Now I can't wait for my birthday (Feb. 9th ^.^), although it is a school day, I get to have an entire packet of bacon for breakfast ^.^ Well now I am dead tired but I still have to do my home work since I've been busy every day since Thurs. (Bible quizzing practice on thursday after school, then went to a friend's house, then on friday I had to clean and get ready for the tournament, Sat was a bible quiz tournament and today was a friends party so I haven't had time) Well I got to get to work. Oh and I loved The Bourne Ultimatum it was awesome and at the end I was like: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Aww man...He can't be died, I mean unless he got hit in the head he could of survived the dive and a gun shot and then at the end I was like "YES!!!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!" Any way it was awesome and now I get to home work while watching M*A*S*H (Love it ^.^)

I'm watching the Bourne Ultimatum. I love the first one so I hope this is as good. So far its kind of confusing and if I hadn't seen the first one I would be completely lost lol. Any way I went to a MACSA bible quizzing tournament. I did pretty well, but I didn't win a trophy. The one thing that excited me a lot was it started snowing. Although it didn't snow a lot it was still pretty nice. But it just added to the cold level. The other teams did kinda well. The other middle school team got just as far as we did, but in the novice devision. The high school team didn't do well at all . My team got to the semi finals but we couldn't get any farther. Its a four person team but it was really me and another person that did almost all the work. Me and her got all the questions but one and a few free questions. But it was still fun, seeing all the people I've met a few times. After the quiz was the long and dreary car ride home we went to staples. As payment for recording all the matches, my mom got me a rubber band balls cause I loved the one the I tried out. If you want to know more about Bible quizzing (At least I'm pretty sure I can) or if you do do it, tell me. Now I'm really tired because I walked probably about 3 miles in total so my legs are pooped. I'm going to finish Bourne Ultimatum, clean a little then go to sleep, or read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone. Well off to the movie. So far its pretty awesome. And now I have to fix my watch because it broke. Just the ring that keeps the thing down so that it doesn't go "flabbing" I don't know how to explain it, but I have to fix my watch... Edit: I'm convinced Duct tape and Electrical tape can fix anything ^^

We had peer review today in my writing class. Luckily I managed to throw the rest of my paper together last night. I had most of it written before that and I was done by nine, so this wasn't one of those all nighters I keep hearing people talk about. You know, I don't think my parents would let pull an all nighter, even if I tried. -Michigan J. Frog

After being the high 30's for the last week it has finally cooled down again and is hovering around zero outside. The windchill really isn't helping either. I've also come to the conclusion that I've been stressing out way too much over the two papers that are going to be due soon. That being said I won't be on too much for a while as I going to be devoting more time to school matters. I'll still be on here to make ocasional posts, but not as much browsing as previously. -Michigan J. Frog

Hmm, well pre lunch classes were pretty normal nothing stranger than usual happened. But then in Public Speaking we had a fun class. We got 6 sentences that in no way went together and we had to come up with a dialouge to fit them all together. These sentences included stuff like "Good Doggie, Thats a Good doggie doggie" "Surprise!" "No one will find me in here" and most memorably "I thought you were going to call the plumber". Man I can't wait to see what the other group came up with. I heard many giggles and laughs coming from the other side of the room. Then after school we had auditions for the High School play (Every one has to be in it but this is to decide what part you play) and its a play about a British comedy where the main characters are Wooster and Jeeves. Interesting play I have to say. I think I'll post some of the script But I can't wait to see which part I got. One annoying thing is I'm writing a report on Islam, and I look on the internet site for my area, find the books I need, and I get ready to go to the library. I look at the time table thing I have and its closed >.< That was Saturday. Sunday, I get dropped off at the Library and as I watch my dad drive off, I look at the door and what do you know? Its closed. And yesterday, I had the Play Auditions so I was pretty late and too late for the library. And today/tomorrow however you like to think of it, I have something to do after school so I can't get to the library. So I have to go Weds. Luckily I happened to have a H.G. Wells history book that involved Islam and should last me until tomorrow. Oh one last thing, on my way back from play auditions, I picked up Rock Band 2 the CD. I've had GH3 for a while, and my mom found the drums on sale so she got them. But they just sat in the attic and did nothing. Until today ^^. The drums were pretty fun. I've played them before at a friends house and I was a complete cluts with them lol. I was doing expert for the guitar but I had to do begginer for the drums. But one thing I don't like, is I don't know a lot of the songs . Hmm well typing out the script is going to take a while so I don't think I'll type it. But it is full of British Humor (Which I love). But I really need to get to sleep >.< I need to find a better time to write than early in the morning. I'm thinking about using dilberts comics to spice this up but I'm too lazy to upload them >.<

For some reason I'm still Premier. Maybe this means there won't be any breaks between the the one year I got last year and the lifetime I just sent the money for. On Sunday I'll be able to change my name again. I'm not sure if I want to though. I'm begginning to like Michigan J. Frog. -Michigan J. Frog

I'm going to have about 10 days starting tomorrow to write an essay reflecting on some event in my life. It has to be 4-6 pages long. I don't know what I'm going to write about. I have a few ideas but none of them are very promising. The top two are track and the 5 weeks I spent as a CIT in 2008. We're suppose to use dialog but I don't know how I'm going to do that either. -Michigan J. Frog

Since classes started I've been extremely busy. Most mornings are now spent in class at the local university and afternoons are spent doing homework. I haven't had time to much on the computer at all. Hopefully I'll adjust to the work load eventually but until that happens I won't be posting on here much. It also doesn't help that the internet on my computer stopped working yesterday. I had time yesterday but my siblings were using the only computers. I'm probably going to pick up the Rahkshi as my other Stars set. This picture pretty much convinced me. I don't own any other Rahkshi right now but I think I like that set the best after Tahu. I might also pick up Ackar if Target still has him. -Michigan J. Frog

Yeah, the title is from Cryoshell's Murky. Which is a great song, by the way. I've probably listened to it thirty times. So I put my slalom skis up for auction with a starting bid of 55 euros and a Buy It Now price of 85. Some dude down by Turku snapped them up for the 85 within hours. I'm thinking I could have asked for more. <.< But I don't care that much. The point is to get rid of all the things I don't need, one way or another, and just raise enough cash to get me started on my wanderlust hobo excursion. P.S. Anyone know a better way to get in touch with the band than the site that comes up first when you Google Mikkel Maltha?

Ah, yes back to school on Monday. It was a nice vacation but I'm ready to get back to school. Too bad my first class is at 8:00 AM. At least I won't have to pack any lunches. Then I really be tired. I had an entry on my class schedule partially drafted but I haven't had time to finish it. Maybe on Monday afternoon. Suffice to say I have at least 1 class every morning except Thursday. I'm taking three classes this semester and the writing class is going to be the worst. I'm also going to be up until at least midnight tonight. Yay for monthly youth retreats/rallies. -Michigan J.

Merely hiding. Not by choice, though. I've lost my computer, my phone, and my camera. Hope to get them back when I visit the police station tomorrow. We'll see, we'll see. In the meantime, I've come up with another small series of original character MOCs. I'm quite pleased with them, and if the person who found my stuff downtown is honest (and I have a feeling he or she is), I'll have my camera back soon and you'll have some new LEGO pictures to look at. LOL. I only found out the durn laptop case was missing now, four days after the fact. I thought I'd left it in the back seat of my uncle's Mercedes, but apparently I did take it out of there when he dropped me off on his way to work on Thursday. I merely forgot to take it along with me after I unlocked and unfolded my bike and hoisted my backpack onto my shoulders for the rest of the way home. IT WAS DARK, I TELL YOU. (sigh) Yes, I can be that absent-minded. UPDATE: My stuff was at the police station.

One more week until I have to go back to class. This should be a fun semester. I'm taking Introduction to Rhetorical and Analytical Writing, which probably won't be the funnest class. I can write, and both my papers from last year got pretty good grades, but I don't have fun doing it. That's balanced out though by the fact I'm taking Trigonometry and Introduction to the Engineering. Both of those are going to be pretty fun. This will probably be the last fun semester for a while though, next year I going to have to finish the general eds I haven't completed yet. -Michigan J. Frog
