It's summer... and as to be expected not much is happening besides getting together with freinds alot. Although this sunday was a lot of fun when me and my freind went kiyak. It was actually so great that we're going to try to get a lot of freinds to come next time and go kiyaking/canoeing down the river, with lunch or something. So that should be a lot of fun.
Yesterday I saw 28 days later because a freind wanted to go, and I decided that I had nothing to lose. But god damnit do I hate horror movies, i'm never going to another one.
And now as I sit here writing this i'm waiting for a few freinds to show up and 'redecorate' my room. Which basicly means that at my birthday party they decided that my rooms walls were too bare, which they are. So they're going to come over and put up a lot of posters and stuff... and luckily I have veto power over whatever they put up.
And so, here I sit, waiting.
Luckily (or unluckily depending on how you look at it) i'll have a job soon, so I won't have to worry about days spent doing nothing. Of course that also means that less chances to get together with freinds, but thats what the weekends are for.
And so ends another entry.

I just got back from the beach. Huzzah! I'm back.
With that said, the beach sucked. I didn't go in the ocean once... it was raining the entire time, and everytime I decided that I would go to the beach, the water was frigid. I mean like FRIGID. At least my bros freinds showed up and I also did some stuff with them, which was good.
Although what was bad, was me getting reprimanded for... basicly not knowing something that I wasn't even supposed to know in the first place. Basicly what happened was me, my brother and my cousin were at the house, all watching TV. Meanwhile other people are bikeriding or doing stuff in town. My 2 young cousins are also in the house, being taken care of by my grandparents. Their mother calls up, starts asking me questions about them, i answer to the best of my knowlege (nothing) and my cousin fills me on where the older one is... but we don't know where the younger one his, he was having his nap and sleeping, we didn't know if someone was with him, so I tell my cousin to go down and look (me being on the phone with the mother made it hard for me to). The mother gets really weird and starts saying to get the grandparents, because my cousin will make the youngest cry... ok we do that, and we discover that my grandmother is already watching the youngest, crisis averted. Later on I was lectured... about something, I'm not exactly sure what. But as far as I can tell it was becuase I didn't know something that I wasn't supposed to know.
And so I got back yesterday... and what better way to spend today but to go see a movie with my freinds. I went to go see The Hulk, which I thought was absolutly horrid. Others disagree with me it seems, but me and my freinds all thought that it was horrible.
And so now I sit here waiting for something else to happen.

Even more to update about today, surprising isn't it?
Anyway my Grandmother took me out to the movies and bookshopping and such in celebration of my birthday (like I said above, its the 13th but she can't be here then). It was a lot of fun, and A Mighty Wind was an excelent movie.
Also she gave me my birthday gift, a compilation of Frank Sinatra songs. Since I really like his music this is great. I was actually about to listen to it.
Hope it's good.

Two large things have happened recently, the first and most recent was my brother having his after prom party at our house. Which no one actually minded that I was also there. But thats kind of expected since most of my brothers freinds are also freindly with me. So nothing bad about that, and it was pretty fun. I ended up going to bed at around 3:30 despite the fact that the party was still going on.
Also about that... we watched a few movies, one of them being Alice... and let me tell you when I say that I think that movie so amazingly horrible its not even funny. Number 1, it's just too long and as far as I can tell things go out of order from the Original Alice in Wonderland story... at least I think they do, but it's been a while since i've read the book... oh a little bit of back story about Alice... it's basicly Alice in Wonderland but extremely fucked up, I mean it seem's like a cool concept, but I just can't stand how it was pulled off. Everything had the same voice of the little girl who was narrarating it... I think that she was also the main character... I might be mistaken though. However the entire movie was one long loud Screech. Everything mad this horrible screeching sound. Whether it was an animal moving (horrible screeching) or sword fighting (Steel on steel horrible screeching) or a baby crying or a sleu of other random sounds tha tall sounded a lot like screeching. Basicly the movie was 10% Alice's voice, 90% screeching. I stopped watching it after a whule but I was still in the room trying to play video games... and god it was painful.
And onto the other thing. I just got a new computer... and by new I mean my freind went and built it, because he's a god at these sort of things and makes kick ass computers. And as far as I can tell after having it for these two days. This thing is AMAZING (note my clever use of the bold tag). And we hooked up the new moniter and the old one. Giving me dual moniters... which is amazing. Basicly the whole comp is amazing... and currently I'm relearning how to type with an ergonomic keyboard. I used to have one with an older computer... but when a new computer came with another keyboard... and it wasn't quiet so loud I used that one. But, basicly if you compare this computer to all the other computers that i've gotten. And then compare time periods, and how powerful each computer was then (Comparing how powerful a computer was during that time period, not compared to each other because thats kind of stupid). I'm 100% sure that this comp is by far the most powerful for the time period. I mean this thing is great... wow.
Also my birthday is on the 13th. It's coming up, go me.

Thankfully, school is finnally winding down to a close. Which is good for me for a number of reasons. The first dealing with the fact that I don't actually have the energy or work ethic (like I had any to begin with) to keep doing homework and such. In the begining of the year I tried actually not to miss homework assignments and whatnot, and now I've just stopped caring. But now, thank god school will be over soon and I won't have to deal with homework for a while. This is also good because as the summer is starting to come around again we've begun doing gaming sessions at Robbie's house again so I end up staying up until 2 or 3.
Also this saturday I saw Cowboy Bebob the movie, which I enjoyed. Making it more exciting because I havn't actually gone to the movies in a while... or I actually might have and forgotten but it doesn't really matter.
And as usual I end up doing Dnd on the weekend sometime. There's something to be said for Dnd... even if people will now run away from me screaming for associating myself with that game.

It's been a while since my last update, and if anything interesting has happened i've probably forgoten it already.
However, I can still remember some stuff. So it's not all bad. Anyway luckily school will be over soon. And thank god for that. Also i'm getting a new computer sometime in the near future, so that also makes me pretty happy. And finnally the thing that pleases me the most is that we've started doing the late night gaming sesssions again, did one yesterday actually. I thought that i'd be tired as hell for the entire day, but surprisingly i'm actually functioning well. Speaking of gaming me and my brother recently bought a ps2 and a bunch of games from a freind who was going to stop playing. And frequency and Amplitude (i think its called that) are by far in the 10 ten most addicting games i have ever played.
Well thats all for now.

11:05 pm - I've regained my faith in humanity
|
I have to say, I'm really touched.
I was reading through the SomethingAwful Forums and I read tales of missery or woe, and I really have to say that it's very touching to see, when people either don't have money or a place to stay. People will offer them a place to stay if they're nearby or send them money. People that they don't even know. Maybe i'm just naive, but from all the assholes out on the internet, it's touching to see people who actually care.

11:43 pm - Long awaited update
|
Well, I havn't updated in a while, so here is my update. You'll notice that this update will deal with two problems. 1) It's passover and matza sucks and 2) I hate everyone. Let's start with number 1 shall we?
Not much to say on this topic, matza sucks, and it's passover. Luckily, passover will be over tommarow. Thank god.
On a very different note, not only have I lost my faith in humanity (not that I didn't already, but this makes me want to again). It all started off a while ago with me and my freind thinking, wouldn't it be funny to make some joke magic cards like on the site MiseTings, so we set out with a few ideas, and using my horrible photoshop skills I think that I actually threw together something remotly good looking and funny... or at least me and my freind thought it was funny. You can check it out here. So he posts it on the MiseTing's forum after I had finished it, and the result was unanimous, people either A) Hated it, or B) (because my freind wasn't that good with html or knew of how crackwhorish geocities is about pictures) Couldn't find the picture and so therefor they must hate it, I dunno. So I think, wouldn't it be funny to go onto the site and flame anyone who thinks the card sucks... and so I made my account and traipsed over to the thread. Of course I didn't start off by flaming people. I made a observation about the card, which was in response to what someone else had said. To which someone then told me "STFU you fag goth.". Now I can understand not liking the card, we're all entitled to our opinion. But some of the things that these people told me really pissed me off, not because I took offense to being called gay, or having people act all condencending to me because my post count was lower than theirs. No it was simply the fact that no matter what I said they seemed to have some sort of brilliant response that made no sense what so ever and then called me a 'retart'. In the end when I eventually posted saying (paraphrased): You all are worthless, I thought it would be amusing to flame you all, but jesus christ you're all retards. And I left the forum. Because of some wonderful scripting in the forum i get an email everytime someone responds to that thread, so after that I followed along... and the first thing someone said after that was something to the extent of "Another one's leaving, i tried to be nice to the kid". And because of this, coupled with the information that the person who i was flaming/ was flaming me could not seem to read what anyone else wrote but himself i realized that I hate them all, and I believe that their all retards. But, after I left they seemed to ignore my leaving post, and call me an idiot for writing IM instead of I'M. At this point i'd like to ask them to raise their hands if they've ever misspelled anything anything in their entire lives. But i have the feeling that they would just say no and then put their hands over their ears and starting screaming "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!". Sometimes I really hate people.
If you want to look at the thread and see if i'm right, wrong, or just a idiot click Here
Now I can only pray that i'll stop getting emails telling me that my 'freinds' at misetings have continued responding to the thread.

7:40 pm - Houstan, we have update
|
Well, today was my first day back from spring break. And it really sucks, all my freetime, gone... sigh.
Thats really the only news, besides one of the three dogs, riggs, got into a fight with another dog. So he went to the vets and got cleaned up and got pills to deal with infection I guess. He looked really cute that night because he looked all confused and just sort of wondered around the kitchen. I think it was partly because he was so drugged up. I mean cute besides the fact that he was bleeding. Anyway thats about it.

And so i'm back from New York. Which was a lot of fun. However starting off before I go into all the wonderful things that I did. I might as welll say that I could never ever ever live there. Mobs of people no matter where you go, and what seems like impossible traffic. However it's still a great place to visit.
Moving onto the two broadway shows: The Producers and Hairspray were both AMAZING. I mean REALLY amazing! I have to say that I enjoyed the producers a lot more than Hairspray. People disagree with me, but I really did. Most likely because I had recently seen hairspray and part of my brain kept going: "THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE MOVIE!!!" and seeing as I never saw The Producers movie I wouldn't know. I guess also because I thought that the producers was a much better show too. The food and shows in New York were absolutly amazing.
I'm hoping to go again sometime in the future.

12:28 pm - Common sense, where have you gone?
|
I havn't updated in a while, but, here I am now. Oh boy.
While I should be thrilled that it's spring break and I'm going to New York to see a two broudway shows... well wait I am thrilled. But i'm also rather pissed off. Mostly at myself for being an idiot. People have more or less told me time and time again "Don't let me barrow your stuff because i'm either gonna break it, lose it, or lose it and blame it on someone else and say that if anyones going to replace it it has to be them". Well they don't really tell me that, but they might as well by how people act when they barrow my stuff.
A few days ago I lent someone my calculator. Not a cheap $5 calculator but a 80$ TI83 that I need for math so that I can do graphing. Well after forgetting to ask for it for about 2 days I finnally remember. Well it seemed that he didn't want to keep the calculator in his bag for a day, so he gave it to someone else to return to me. That person it seemed also didn't want to just hold onto it for a day and instead placed it on a bench at the end of the hallway. While it does have my name etched on the back of it, common sense should just tell you: People = bastards out to stab you in the back so then we turn it into a IF THEN
IF people are bastards
THEN leaving $80 piece of electronics that people seem to like stealing at my school in the hallway is a bad idea.
But he did it anyway, I guess because he thought that people wern't out to steal peoples calculators. Not that I can really blame him, he apologized profusely. And of course I realize that neither will take the blame for it so I probably won't get any money from them to buy another one. But lets just see how that goes after the break. This post is just remembing the times that people have told me over and over again that they shouldn't be barrowing my things and yet I keep letting them.
Let's see... starting off in kindergarden. A older kid tricked me into stealing a good portion of Marvel cards (Hey, I was young then) by asking to see the binder that I had.
Then... lower school a kid took my work sheet because he didn't have his, crossed out my name with a grey colored pencil and decided to leave me wondering where the hell my paper went.
In middle school someone asked me for a pen. After not returning it for a week he gave me a chewed up red pen with no cap.
Another time in middle school when someone saw I had a Rubik's Snake (they're damn cool, don't know why it was in my bag, but it was still damn cool) after deciding to walk away and hand it to someone else who promptly lost it. Even with the principle telling them to buy me a new one I never got another one.
In upper school in 9th grade someone asked me to barrow a pencil. After a week of not returning it I was once again in their class and I saw him using the same model pencil, questioning revealed that he had lost mine and this was his. Yea right.
And of course my personal favorite. I lent someone a dollor, then the next day they bought someone a drink, that person had bought someone else a bag of chips, and that person had someone who owed him a dollor (may not be exact, but it was something like that). No one wanted to actually pay me back the dollor and with enough bitching they told me that it was just a dollor and to shut up. It's the principle of the thing, I let it go easily because it was just a dollor, what would have happened if it was 10 dollors, 20 dollors, 100 dollors? Would it just be everyone scrambling to prove that someone else owed it to me and no one wanting to take blame for it.
Not to say that i'm perfect. But 85% of the time that you give me something, I will return it eventually, even if it's a week later than I thought, I will return it.
I really need to stop ever letting anyone borrow anything. All that ever happens is it gets lost or broken but no it's not their fault, so they don't have to buy me another.

3:18 pm - I'm going insane
|
At lunch on certain days its become a common practice to start playing the card game Lunch Money. Not to say that I dislike the game, quiet the opposite in fact, I think that it's a lot of fun and if you have 20 dollors you should go out and buy it. But it's becoming so increadibly annoying to play with certain people.
For those of you who don't know the rules and want to understand the following section where I rant you should check out the link above, otherwise here I go.
People just sit and discard cards until they get all the fucking humiliations or defense cards. I admit that I used to do it and do it still in some respects but I feel that all the times that i've done it have been justified, such as: I discarded my entire hand because 1) I didn't start with any defense cards or 2) People keep attacking me I really don't feel like taking a whole round of damage from 3 people because I was too stupid to discard cards to get at least a little save for defense. That or I have one life and I REALLY don't feel like dying any time soon.
But people just do it, we'll start games where all people will do is "I discard 3 cards, i discard 2 cards, i discard 5 cards..." and thats how 2 or 3 rounds go! It's even more annoying when someone goes "I'll discard this attack card" YOU'RE DISCARDING A FUCKING ATTACK CARD! ATTACK SOMEONE! Because of this I complain often about it and then people call me a hypocrite when I either, want to live/ I'm discarding a head lock, a powerplay and a freedom. Sure I discard cards sometimes and i'm not saying that discarding cards is the worst thing in the fucking world, but when ALL YOU DO is discard your hand over and over and over again it gets annoying not only because the game lasts forever but because you're now 90% more likely to win over the people who don't discard there hand over and over again because you don't control all the humilations.
Here are a few really horrible examples that make me want to stop playing the game altogether at my school:
The first happened when one person didn't attack at all for the first half of the game, all she did was first aid and discard cards. In the very end when it was me and her and everyone else was out she had 4 humilations in her hand. She got me down to 1 in which case I said: Fuck being hypocritical and began discarding my entire hand until I got defense cards and humilations and I beat her.
Next time happened when I was like at one life and my opponant was at 10, he kept discarding his entire hand because he had no defense cards. You had 10 life! you don't need the defense cards as much as you make it seem like you do!
And the last time REAAALLLY pissed me off (although not as much as the first time) I had 5 life, I was playing against someone who had between 19 and 23 life (depending on what point in the game it was), he kept discarding 3 cards. In the very end when I yelled at him for it he told me that he was discarding cards so that he could get attack cards, when pointed out to him that the cards that he was discarding were attack cards the response was "well they were shitty". JESUS CHRIST! ATTACK! You can't just get all the kicks, big combos and humilations in the game!!
That concludes my rant, maybe i'm being a little hypocritical because at times I also discard my entire hand, but maybe then again i'm not because I rarely if ever discard more than 4+ cards and because normally I can't use the cards or I'm about to die.
Also maybe i'm taking the game a bit too far, but i'm also pretty competetive when it comes to these things.
On the plus side this is the first actual update where i talk about something in about... oh forever.

The reason why I havn't been updating is because nothing ever happens to me (and if it does I most likely either deem it as unimportant or don't want to talk about it), but that's not the point of this entry.
Tonight I went to a very very good steak house for dinner, which was just amazing. But the steak wasn't the most memorable part of the night, it was probably watching my step uncle, whos about... I can't really tell ages but I would say in his 40's talk about Gwen Steffani (don't know if thats how you spell her name) being hot, with his wife about 2 feet away. It was really funny how he start talking about her and the last word that I would have guessed that he would have said was hot at the end of the sentance: "And when gwen steffani from performed, she's really...". That was the best part of the evening... and most surprising... normally you would at least have some tact to wait until women/your wife are far enough away so that they can't hear you.

3:23 pm - Mad art skillz
|
Sorry for lack of updates, just nothings happening, but that has changed... somewhat.
First off I seem to be invited places often by people I don't know/ have only met once or twice... still, s'not bad, and I need to get out more so I really shouldn't complain.
Second, I'm currently taking "Sculpture" for my art class, and ooh boy is it fun. That wasn't sarcasm, it seriosly is. Our first project was to sculpt a more or less life sized model of our head. And it's been REALLY REALLY hard. I've been working on it for about two weeks I think... and right now it is ALMOST done, just a few little things need to be done before it can be fired. But the good/bad thing is that my sculpture doesn't really look like me... well it kind of does... it actually looks like: Andrew/Andrew when he's 60/Gerald Ford (however you spell his name)/JFK. However I think that it looks like JFK the most. I just think that it's hilarious, thats all. But thankfully i'm close to completion so I won't have to deal with it any more, like I said before, not that I hate the class, just that making my head is frustrating.
And that's really all for now.

8:00 pm - What the hell is wrong with everyone?
|
It's times like this that I wonder what the hell is wrong with the entire world... well, no, thats not true, just my family.
Long story short, someone wanted me to be the date for this person to a dance, the girl didn't want me to, but wanted to meet me anyway to see if she wanted me to or whatever, so i was going to walk into towson and spend like two hours with her and her freind who tried to set me up with her and then go home.
Nothing really that big, right?
So I had to tell my dad what I was going to be doing on saturday, he makes a huge deal out of it, decides to tell my entire family in baltimore, and then my aunt starts telling me that I should start dating my cousin's freinds. She's 14, if I don't even date people my own age why would I start dating people a year and a half younger than me, probably more because the person she suggested was actually the YOUNGEST of my cousin's freinds who is 12... what the hell is going on?!?!
I'm pretty sure that walking into towson and spending two hours with someone is not that big of a deal, of course i'm also niave so I may be wrong... still...

8:53 pm - And so it goes
|
Today was my second day back at school after a week of doing nothing... well not nothing, I took a web design class, no HW no nothing, just sit there for a week and make up a fun website.
Can't say that I really learned much, but it was fun nonetheless, I made a website for the comic that me and Robbie made a while ago, and besides the news bar where if it was a real comic news would go, it sucked. But I don't really care I had fun making the website.
Besides that, nothings happening. I've begun to realize that nothing ever happens, and nothing ever happens because I either don't let it happen or don't care that it does happen.
I'm pretty sure that's a good thing... I think.

Not much has happened lately. The biggest thing is that the weekly DND meetings at people's houses have started to become a weekly tradition it seems. Not that i'm complaining because they are really a lot of fun. I'm actually going to one tommarow.
And on a different note I saw the movie "Catch me if you can" earlier, which I have to say, was actually really really really good. I was very surprised, I mean it looked kinda good, but I wasn't expecting something that I thought was that good. You may disagree with me, but I really did enjoy that movie.
And on another note, me and my freind are now one step closer to finishing halo on legendary. I think that we have about 2-3 more levels to go before we beat it completely, and of course the last level will be the biggest bitch ever, but we'll deal with that when we get to it.

5:40 pm - Back in time!
|
Not much to this update, just talking about what happened about a year ago. Funny huh?
I was just reminded of this a few days ago, so I figured I would post it here.
I was at school with two freinds as we were browsing through the Real Life Comics archives and so we started at the very begging. If you're not familar with that comic the begging is pretty much a joke about making the whole comic about real life and stuff, and that reminded me of what me and Robbie tried to do... like last summer. We started trying to make a web comic, we actually cranked out the storyboards for about 6 comics before we realized that neither of us could draw (although Robbie's were actually decent I think) and that even if we could we were too busy to or we were just too lazy to. So we went and tried to get a third party to draw it. That also didn't go well but it was pretty much my fault, I guess that during school having someone draw comics for us, and then because my brother's scanner wasn't working for whatever reason or wasn't hooked up and having to scan it in in the shop teachers room, put it onto a disk and then put it on Robbie's FTP for critique by him and then need to change something was just a lot of work. Still, it was a pretty fun idea while it lasted.
(End flashback)
Also, for new things, last night I saw LOTR: The Two Towers for the third time, only difference was that I was in a sky box. See we have this REALLY nice theatre where I live that has, yes, a sky box in it. It was REALLY amazing, and we all had pizza and there was much rejoicing. The movie wasn't any different but just the atmosphere of whatching it with your freinds and all the pizza and food and stuff around you is pretty cool.
