STORY TIME!!

So we had to take Kristen back to work in Snoqualmie (100 mile drive) yesterday because her car got hosed so her and bethany and dad and I all went.
On the rainy way there, our windshield wipers died and so dad stopped in Ellensburg to fix them, during which time we all went and ate. Dad fixed the wipers and we continued on, until we got to I-don't-know-where but someplace on the freeway not too far from our final destination. There we came upon a ridiculous line of cars that went for like 10 miles or something crazy like that, so we stopped and waited. And waited. ....aaand wwaaaaaiiiited. We dialed the 511 (pass info) number and they said there had been a turbo wreck, but you'd think they would've gotten everything out of the way so that freeway traffic continued. We waited some more. And some more. We played cards. We talked about numerous things like how gross it would be to throw up some jalapeno hotdogs.

About 3 hours later traffic was moving again. Good grief. So we drove on and never saw any signs of wreckage. No cars, no glass, no tracks, no emergency vehicles, nothing. (well we did see a lot of snowmen that people had built during the 3 hours) So naturally we were like, "ehhhh...what the heck?" and finally we arrived at the Family Pancake House (where my sister works) and we ate there. One of the waitresses said she'd heard that the stoppage of freewayness was caused by police checking for chains, but the problem was why would they stop all that traffic for three hours, and why didn't we see any checking and...yeah. I really don't know what we were waiting for. There were lots of other slippery adventures though, and we saw about 1 toppled semi, and maybe 6 or more cars that had spun out of control on the side of the road. Not good traveling conditions at all. But we're alive. ^_^

So we made a 200 mile trip and it only took 12 hours! Beauty, eh?

(ahhh, mom just said postage was going up by 2 cents! =O )

My old watch band broke so I got a new watch and kept the old in my pocket, but just now my new watch broke so I took the old watch and put it on my new watch's band so now I have an old watch on the new watchband and the new watch in my pocket. Weird.

I believe I'm going to go see The Lion, The Witch, and Canada today. I don't look forward to paying 6 bucks but oh well. Legos are fun. I shall return to playing with them now.

Bethany came in while I was playing video games and told me she just lit her arm on fire. She said she was lighting a candle and the sleeve of her sweater caught fire and scared the badoogles (yes I believe she said badoogles) out of her. I've eaten too much junk food. I might die. Someday. ..also my fingers are really sore from playing too much Playstation Twoses. Playstation controllers are my least favorite kind.

Awww, Christmas Eve. Darren and Faith are coming over (with my cute widdle niece of course) and we're going to play games, and eat food, and play games, and open presents and have a blast, and it will be great. Did I mention we'll be playing a lot of games?

Well I believe it's safe to say that yesterday was one of the best days ever. That is all.

Only like 3 and a half hours or something!! Woohoo!! I would be gone already but Karl said he'd be about 40 minutes late. Ooooh well.

I think Kitty just ate a candy wrapper. She'll probably hack it up later under Bethany's bed or something. bleh.

Heh, somebody just called and said, "hi brian, is your mom up yet?" and I said, "uhhh...she already left." and he said, "she already left. Okay thank you"
Hung up phone, waited a beat, and heard mom's cellphone ringing in my pocket so I took it out and said, "...and I forgot to mention that I have her cell phone" and he said, "ah you have her cell phone. *slight laughter* Okay then, goodbye"

Well I've succesfully applied for Home Depot, so we'll see if I win or not.

Edit: One more daaaayyyyy!!

What's this!? 2 days!? Could it be that I'll actually get to see Rosanne this week!? Oh em GEEEEE!!!!

Weather forecast says we should be getting something called "Snow pellets" this afternoon. Wonder what that'll be like. =þ (maybe they're be like small prepacked snowballs ready to throw, just catch one and launch it. That'd be sweet.)

Hey look another story! I just got a haircut...but BEFORE that I was in the other house with bethany. She was reading a book in the computer chair and I was right next to her in the big foofy chair attempting to stand on my head (while in the chair of course) and I accidently kicked the chandlier that I'd forgotten was above me and it came swinging down, right by bethany's head, flinging glass light-cover-things everywhere (none broke) and getting dust and dead moths all over the upside-down me and my foofy chair and freaking the doodles out of bethany. I accidently squooshed a dead moth in my hand. Eeeeeewwww! The end!

The other night at dinner, I poured myself a glass of water. Isn't that fascinating? Well then later I picked up the glass to take a drink and I was kind of daydreaming, and I unknowingly/unthinkingly tipped the glass before it had actually reached my mouth and it kinda poured all over my plate. The end!

oh nos!! I don't have anything to write about!

I just had a thought tonight. Why would it be wrong to take advantage of the nonsense people buy such as "art"? I can't even remember how many times we've gone into museums or art shows or even just restaraunt places and seen these stupid pictures selling for huge money and said, "Oh man, Brian, you can draw way better than that!". It always happens, but I never really thought about actually drawing something lame to sell that somebody might think was really good. I mean there are lots of incredible pictures out there that I couldn't even hope to duplicate or do something as good, but there are also a lot of pathetic things that people have done and sell.

Actually drawings are usually pretty good. Paintings are where the slop is usually at. Throwing together "abstract" colors and calling it art. One of the reasons I wouldn't want to do it is because I wouldn't want a reputation for making ugly stuff, but who says I need to sign it, lol

I don't know. I'd probably feel kinda guilty. I don't know if I'd have the nerve to do something like that. (but the thought of making money off of something easy and thrown together is pretty tempting if people will actually go for it.)

Here's some of the kind of stuff I'm talking about
$50-$300?
oh how...amazing.

$50-$300?
Talent!

$150-$285?
wow, uhh...beautiful?

$50-$230?
That's pretty cooool.


I wouldn't even need $50-$300! If I just made $10 I'd be impressed, lol
It's pretty silly. I don't know if I could bring myself to do something like that though.


(One day though, I do hope I am able to draw things as amazing as this! I am in awe. This is true talent that I admire!)

This is kind of funny

Hushai told Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, "Ahithophel has advised Absalom and the elders of Israel to do such and such, but I have advised them to do so and so." -2 Samuel 17:15

lol, such and such, and so an so. Weeeiird.



Josiah's family has to do something dreadful with their house. I think they have to smash through some of their cement to get to a sewer pipe, and do some kind of maintenance on it. I'm sure mom could just go over and smash it all up but she might take the whole house with her. Dad could probably do it safely but he's probably busy or something. I miiiiggghhht be strong enough to smash through, but I'd need some gauntlets or something to prevent my hands from getting all busted up. That'd be hard work even for a human spider.

There were 700 people at the play tonight. Full house...or church. It totally wasn't worth missing out on seeing my favorite peoples though especially since my part is only for laughs and actually doesn't contribute much to the story. ...and it was really hard to act because I'm supposed to be laughing my head off but I was naturally not in the mood (partly because I've done it a million times already).

There was one good thing though, I hardly had any makeup on tonight.

Sometimes I wish I had my mom's power.

Hahahahaha, okay so I logged into myspace (it's worthless, but I have an account so that I can view other people's) and I saw somebody had sent me a message. It was Nina, a girl that used to go to College Group and she was friends with my friends so thus she kind of became my friend..ish...kind of. So anyway I ended up going to her myspace site and I was looking at her pictures and what's this? A picture from when she went and saw Star Wars! And who's that behind her?

ZOMG
Now whoooo could that good looking guy be? lol oh man I'm so lame. XD

Head-dude's wife just called and left a message on the machine stating that Mr. Previous Groomsman who was possibly going to play my part isn't going to be able to do it. I'm not giving up yet though, lol

Darren took all the Godzilla movies when he left for College (I guess they are technically his, except I think I own maybe like one or two but yeah, heh) so I haven't seen them in quite a few years. BUT Josiah borrowed couple of my favovorite ones from a friend of ours, and now I have them and I just watched one and it was wonderful! Terrible acting, terrible dialogue, terrible story, terrible special effects, and great memories from when I was a kid (of like 10 or 12 XD ), it was great!

There's a bird outside eating my dog's food.

Current Mood: Widescreen Candle Swingset
Currently Listening To: Adventures In Odyssey (oh hush, you. XD )

Two shows down. Trevor said we're halfway done. I'm hoping I'm all the way done.

I just watched through the window as my dog killed another bird. She'd pin it to the ground and anytime it got away she'd catch it, pick it back up in her mouth, and return to the place of pinnage. Fortunately it was only a quick moment before the bird was dead. =P

*sigh* I'm growing awfully tired of this.

So I went into the makeup room today and the lady said, "Oh...are you going to be in the play? I thought you weren't going to be able to do it" and I said, "No, I'll be in it this weekend, it's next weekend that I'll be gone." and she said, "Oh. Well I crossed you off the list" So I got my makeup on and thought, "wow, that's a good sign maybe this Christopher guy really is going to do it!" and so Trevor and I asked Ken (the MAIN head dude, lol), "Is Christopher going to be able to do my part?"

"Nope. Scott (whoever that is. one of the other leader guys I guess) thought you were going to be in all four showings so he told Christopher not to worry about it."

I almost died. So later I asked, "Sooooooo...is Chris able to do it or can he actually not?" And he said, "Well he'll be available but I don't know if he can relearn all the lines in a week or not." AERLGIHJSRTGLKJSHNRFT

So before I left, I found out who Chris was and I went up and asked him, "Do you think you'll be able to do my part?" And he quite hesitantly said, "..." and I guess he's willing to try, so we'll find out later (gads I'm tired of this last minute waiting stuff) if he can pull it off for sure or not. He'd better. *sigh*

AHA!! I swung open the door today to find the ground was completey WHITE! And there is snow falling quite heavily too. And I'm gonna have to drive in it tonight. *sigh*

What if the roles were reversed and snowmen were the ones that got to play in the skin as bones and body flakes floated gently from the sky, and they threw flesh balls at eachother and build humans.

Ewww that's gross.

Sooooooo, there's a possibility that this dude named Christopher will be able to play my part thus allowing me to go to the meet. He was my character a year ago when they did this play in Quincy so he'd just have to brush up on his lines and such but yeah. There is still hope. =)

We have two showings this weekend that I'll be in though. I hope thing go spectasticly!

Okay so one time *use your imagination* and that's how it all happened.

Tomorrow my mom and I are going to meet up with her two sisters and head for Spokane to watch The Lion King (the play, not the movie) at the uhhhh....opera house place. My aunt asked mom if she'd go and mom was like, "... The Lion King" but my aunt assured her that it's an incredible performance with amazing costumes and singing, and everybody that's gone has said the same thing so mom said she'd go even though it's a disney story. Little did she know, two tickets would cost her $150. waugh. Oh well she bought them, Bethany didn't want to go, and so I said I would. Three ladies going to Spokane probably need protection anyway, and me being the big manly guy that I am, I'm probably just the guy for the job. (HA! Yeah right, knowing that my mom is actually the hulk, I can't even imagine what my aunts are like when trouble comes. XD )

Anyway hopefully the costumes and stuff will make up for it being Disney, especially since we all know that Disney is the suck nowdays, what with their making Kronks New Groove, and Toy Story 3 (without pixar). zomg.

You know what would be frustrating? If you became friends with a boomerang or a yo-yo or something and you were talking to them online. The conversation would probably go like this

A story by Bethany
There once was a briefcase that turned into an old lady and she walked to town and was attacked by a shoe, and she and the shoe started a life of crime and they attacked a herd of armadillos, but the armadillos were way too smart for them and they had some cannons that launched water balloons filled with acid and ants, and they shot the shoe and the old lady and they both shriveled up and died and the armadillos took over the world and had guns and they took all the pictures off of peoples walls and ate them but there so many that they all died. The end.

There are some sweet pictures on here! (among other things)

Like check out some of the stuff in the galleries. Crazy!

This isn't a crazy amount of makeup I know, (although it was weirder looking in real life) but since I've like never worn any makeup before (I'm waaaayyyy too manly) I figured I'd do something about it.

So now I find out that Josiah says he probably won't be able to do it after all

*sigh* this is getting very frusterating. If he can't do it I can't think of anybody else who can.

Talked to Mr. Man-in-charge and he hesitantly said that if Josiah can learn everything theeeeeeeen sure go ahead. So I'm gonna have to work Josiah like a slave driver to make sure he knows his stuff. ;) (you can all threaten his life if he doesn't learn everything ^_^ )

And now my face is covered in makeup and I can't take it much longer. I feel like clawing my face off. =)

This is what happens when I'm up at 4:00 in the morning trying to think up new card ideas. I come up with lame jokes like this:

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Canoe.
Canoe who?
Canoe believe I just told this joke?

Knock Knock
Who's there?
A needle.
A needle who?
Aneedle little help thinking up some better jokes.

I laughed at myself because they were so lame. =P I was tired.


Anyway I talked to Josiah last night and he said he can probably play my part in the last two showings. I really hope it works out. I'm too young to die and not going to the meet would kill me, I'm sure of it.

Did you know that Bethany grew a bit? She just might hit 5 feet! She only has like three quarters of an inch left to go. (I think she might be taller than Aubrey now! *snicker*) but man if she hit 5 feet she'd probably go nuts with excitement.

aaaaaand yes.

Well waddya know, I made it to the store tonight because dad had me take some movies back. Sooooo here are my latest and greatest cards

Batteries - Anniversary
Bible Babies - New Baby
HAPPY BIRTHDAY - Birthday
Dum Dum - I'm sorry

Perfect Match - Anniversary
Monty Python Referance - Get Well
Puzzle Pieces - Anniversary
More RAM - Late Birthday
Unreal Tournament Old - pwned
Wand - Birthday

It was raining this morning, and it's almost at freezing temperature. Who knows, snow may show up soon! And fortunetly I haven't been driving much so I may not have to worry about that like I did last year. (I hate driving on ice and stuff. If I had a little zippy car and a parking lot full of ice with nothing to run into, I might have fun with it. Otherwise blah)

Yesterday I made 6 more cards. I now have a total of 41 so I'll probably start selling soon. The card rack we have holds like seventy-something though so I still need to make more. *sigh* oh well, I actually do enjoy it, but it's just hard to think up new ideas at times. I mean birthdays were pretty easy but stuff like Anniversarys are harder. Anyway I'll try and get the new ones posted on here next time I'm at the store.

And hey look, there's another tiny mouse in front of Jazz's dogloo. I'm pretty sure she's made friends with them. ...this time, though, mom bought dog food that has a ziplock top so the mouses won't be able to get in. hmwahaha.

Just. Found. Out. Play. 9th. 10th. O_O

If I can't go to the quizmeet....I. AM. GOING. TO. DIE. I am not even kidding.

We got our movie camera back FINALLY. I won't be sure that it's completely fixed until I actually use it for reals _{(or reels. ha. I didn't mean for that to be a pun)}. I wanted to make a movie of...me..but I still have spots on my face (barely but still none-the-less) and so I guess I'll wait. I can plan out what to do in the meantime I suppose.

I was also trying to figure out how I could make a fighting game (like streetfighter 2 style) that could played on paper without dice but I don't think it'll work, lol. Hmmmph.

And there are two candybars sitting on the counter and I want to either eat them or smash them with a hammer (zAny's fault) but I don't know who they belong to or what they're for. Eating I imagine...but who gets to do that eating? I can only wonder.

Now I should go home and get the dead mouse out of Jazzy's dogloo. I watched her kill it last night through the window and I think it's still in there. Silly dog.

I just heard Thousand Foot Krutch on a nonchristian radio station! Woohoo! I wish more radio stations would be awesome.

That's all.

I put my spider-man tie on my dog. She looked really funny. XD

Anyway I still have the chicken pox but I'm getting better. lol "I feeeel happyyyyy!" "I think I'll go for a walk!" I'm pretty sure I'll be mostly/completely healed up within the next week. ..and right now I really wish I had a bunch of buster keaton and charlie chaplin movies to watch. I'm just in that mood.

Haha, just kidding! It very possible/probable that it's the chicken pox after all. meep. So I may be out of communication for a while depending on how I feel.

Ooooooog. I just got sick last night. Like I even felt it all happen as it occured. I don't have chicken pox (lol) and I don't feel nauseus at all, but I've got the sensitive skin thing, the aching joints, the burning eyes, the occasional headaches, and last night I had the out of control shivering so I cranked the bedroom heat way up and managed to sleep (but woke up numerous times in the night). I had some reeeaaaaally weird dreams too. Like I can't even remember all the weird things that happened in them. =P

so anyway, krtdjhgnvukrudjhgnv.

My older sister and my dad and I watched Ong-Bak The Thai Warrior tonight. It. Was. Awesome. I might go as far as to say it was even more exciting and intriguing to watch than Jackie Chan's older fighting and stunts (which I admire muchly). ..but that could just be partially because I've seen so much Kung Fu and this Thai stuff is a fresh new style to me. Either way though, it was incredible. Seriously.

I must give warning though...there was some language, you briefly see a guy's backside, there was one scene where somebody began to take a lady's shirt off and I skipped that chapter so I don't know what it contains, and then towards the end the fighting gets a bit gruesome (like you see a couple limbs get snapped).

Fighting and stunts were incredible though.

My mom walked up to me, held up five fingers and said, "We're leaving in two minutes!"


...that was half an hour ago. We're still here. XD

I was up until about 2:00 last night making more greeting cards (which aren't uploaded yet, so I'll have to post them later) and then the night before that I was up until about 2:00 writing a song for Cory. I wonder if I'm more creative at night. =P Being alone in another house with no mom to wake you up in the morning and tell you that you aren't aloud to sleep in sure brings on weird dreams though. Because normally I would get awakened, thus interrupting my dreams, but lately I've actually been able to finish my dreams or at least wake up on my own and so I get to see the whole length of the dream(s) and they can be pretty weird sometimes. o_O

It's quite cold and rainy and windy and gray out today.

oh yeah, and I just want to point out that dum dums are probably among the coolest candies ever.

Wow, my mom is quite sick right now, so I get to go pick up Bethany, and for some reason she wants me to bring her a cake when I do? Weeeiiiird. I'll probably have to buy one, because my cake making skills are...not yet in existance. Although I did make two pudding pies this morning. I was so proud. XD (and lame, *cough* )

Anyway it's Halloween today, and I kind of don't have any plans or anything to do. I really want to do something weird or unusual today, but I have no costume and I'm not sure what I should do. Maybe I'll throw something together and do some crazy stunts or run down the street singing weird al songs (nooo, that'll get you chased by drunks around here) or something. Or maybe I'll just be boring. Hmmm..

Current Mood: Feathered Carrot Drums
Current Music: nope

oh nos it's midnight and a half, I'd better go home now, k bye.

Well today dad and I drove around a lot. He was looking for locations to put up some antennas, and we were going to fire some 22 pistols, but there were people in "our spot" so we didn't. ...but oh well. Now I'm home alone until late tonight because everybody else went to Tri-cities. Hurrah!

Other than that I don't have much to say. ^_^

hmmmm

...anyway I STILL don't know what's happening with the job, but today I helped a guy network some computers. I didn't know where we were going or what we were doing. We came to a building, I didn't think to read the sign. Just thought it was some office place of some kind. We went inside...immediatly I caught a scent that was very familiar and it made me think, "I don't know what this place is but it has got a familiar air about it, and it really makes me uneasy. Wherever we are, it is not a place I like." Then we went down a hall and I caught a glimse of some rooms. It was a dentist place. "..so thaaaat's why I didn't feel comfortable here!" there were suckers, and needles, and pinchers, and claws, and jabbers, and pokers, and shredders, and drillers, and all kinds of other frightning objects that I wouldn't want in my mouth! ..anyway I was in the basement most of the time so it was okay. I can handle being in a dentist place fine, but I don't really like going there to actually get worked on. Anyway, we were there for about 5 hours and so that oughta get me half a tank of gas which I'm terribly low on right now. Hurray.

Current Mood: Krinkled Paper
Current Music: Weezer - "Death And Destruction"

Still no call from the peoples, but tomorrow I'll be helping a guy do something. Not sure what, but it'll probably be stringing cable through a building and stuff. Being a monkey is always fun. ...unless it's one of those new underconstruction houses with no heating yet. brrr. Anyway I'll probably get around $56 for it, so that'll pay for like...half a tank of gas. ^_^

My sister's getting irritated at me because I keep talking to her while she's trying to read. It's kind of funny, because I keep saying weird things and she'll respond and then realize that she's responding to complete nonsense while trying to read and then she'll yell in like mid-sentence for me to stop talking to her. Now she appears to be threatening me with gatorade. ..and now she just threw the bottle at me. Glad it wasn't open. Now I'm going to drink the rest of it. ...ewww now she just called me Kyndra. Insults don't get much worse than that. I think she wins this "battle".

ANYWAY, ummmmm....oh and she says she's going to write her essay about me. And then she started listing all the weird things I've done that she was going to put in it, and the list kept going and going and I don't think she'll be able to fit it all in there because the essay would be like 20 pages long.

Now I must go, because there is a penny sitting on the floor, and I think it wants to be picked up and put in my pocket.

Current Mood: Ham Headaches and a Glitter Box
Current Music: Something mom's listening to out in the living room

No call today. Perhaps tomorrow. I'm pretty sure he said they'd contact me either way, whether I get the job or not. The cat got ahold of my hand today while I was wrestling with her, now there are lots of little scratches on it. It was itching for a while but now it just looks cool. She only drew blood in two places though, I was kind of disapointed in her. ^_^

Faith is in Moses Lake tonight with the baby, and they're coming over for dinner. The baby is finally sitting up by herself (notice I didn't say "itself". I'm trying to get over that).

Well I just got back from an interview with the owner of the printing place and it sounds like the only thing I've got going against me is the fact that I haven't really used Photoshop, or Pagemaker, or CorelDRAW and so I'd have to learn them. I don't think I'd have any problem learning them at all, but I'm not sure if they were too crazy about that, so I guess they're going to call me tomorrow, and we'll see what happens. As for the place though, it looks like it's really nice. It's a family business, so an elderly owner and his wife, and their daughter, and then there's another guy working there as well, and they have a little fluffy dog that was carrying a ball around, so it appears that the place is pretty laid back and I think I'd really like it there. Plus it's $13 dollars and hour and only four days a week. That and the little dog gives the job like a million "Brian likes it" points. =)

..oh and it looks like I would be designing and making things like flyers, brochures, aaaand things like that.

Last night I was in a weird mood, and I felt like doing something kind of mindless to distract my attention, so I took on 5 medium difficulty computers in a Capture the Flag game on the old Unreal Tournament. It was all of them against me, and after about 4 or 5 games, I finally beat them all by one point! It felt so glorious, I wanted to pat myself on that back and say, "well done, you are getting very good at some unimportant things that won't matter in life." *whew*

oh and also last night at like midnight, the cat scared the *insert funny word here* out of me, because it had somehow managed to get up on top of the entertainment center and crawl into a small high-up (close to the ceiling) window near the front door and as I was leaving the house it meowed above me and since the house was dark and asleep, with no noise or activity, and the meow seemed to come from who-knows-where, you can imagine that I was pretty startled.

Mom's been buying candy. Yay Halloween. Speaking of which, maybe today I'll plan out a way to make that tauntaun pinata.

Hmmm..that meet was pretty fun. I didn't get to hang out with zAny for nearly long enough, but it was still fun. Andrew and I were out of control on the way home. For the first hour or two, we ate 5 pieces of Bubblicious gum each, and started blowing ridiculous bubbles and bubbles inside bubbles and all sorts of other lame bubble tricks, and then we met the Merkers on the way home at a restaraunt, and I blew becca a bubble bouquet (which was just about 10 little gumbubbles globbed together) and she said it was really gross. lol, we had it on our hands and faces, and Andrew even got gum on his glasses and in his hair. Then for the next 5 hours of the trip, Andrew and I took on these really high annoying voices and tried to get everybody in the van to hate us by the time we got home. It was surprisingly challenging since they all thought it was funny for the first couple of hours, but eventually we won. It was pretty chaotic. ...and it made me realize that I think it's pretty much impossible to lose my voice, because by the end, Andrew was cracking and couldn't hardly go high anymore, and I felt fine. Then this morning, it was as if I never even raised my voice yesterday, heheh.

We would ride in the girl van, but all the cool girls left (well I shouldn't say that because my sister is still one of them, lol) and so now it's more fun to just ride with Jacob and Andrew in our own van. heheheh.

My sister just came in, woke my dad up and said, "Have you seen the kitty, I can't find her?" and then she left the room calling, "kitty kitty kitty!" and dad mumbled, "porbably in the bathtub smoking a cigar." and then went back to sleep. The end!

I found out that Josiah hosed his back too during soccer, so yesterday we were both in pain. It was fun. ^_^ I linked up my mom's computer (and her beautiful monitor, heheh) with mine last night and we played a bit of the first Unreal Tournament. Now I have nobody to play with though, since my friends don't exactly live at my house, so I might have to try and get Bethany to play with me. Maybe a different game, but still. I'm sure she will if she doesn't have homework. =P

I did something dreadful to my back the other day, and then it kind of went away after a few days, but today I managed to reactivate it and then some. I'm not even sure what I did, but it has hurt like you wouldn't believe, and so I've be in pain and suffering all day. It seems to be feeling better now though. ..like I can actually sit in one spot and the pain goes away until I move again. It's wonderful.

(I didn't give any story or anything away, but there's still a possibility of spoilers here)

Serenity was a great movie! I'd only seen a few episodes of Firely, so I only knew a little bit about the characters, but the movie does a great job at showing you who they are. Even if you don't know what they're like it shows their personalities so clearly (yet without overdoing it), that you can still get all the jokes and moods of everybody. Also the story was welldone too, so even if you never saw the series, you can still pick up on what the movie is about and such. The cinematogrophy was great as well. There were many interesting camera angles and special effects that didn't hinder but rather helped the scenes. Also throughout the movie there were many unexpected and unpredictable things that happened (including lots of jump scenes, so beware). The dialogue was very well written and thought up (as if they'd actually put time into, unlike another space movie we've seen *coughstarwarscough*) and the characters all had personalities (unlike another space movie we've seen *coughstarwarscough*) and although the visuals were great, they actually spent time on the story rather than making it an eye-candy CG movie (unlike another space movie we've seen *coughstarwarscough*). ..oh yeah, and also the acting was very good too (unlike another...yeah you know) So basically this movie owned and I recommend it to anybody who enjoys a lot of comedy, action, violence, and jumpscenes. ...and sci-fi. (oh and there wasn't any nudity, and the sex-jokes were extremely scarce so that automatically gives this movie a lot of happy plus signs. There was one scene where they were kissing and stuff was implied but ummm...nothing more than that)

It was thieves alright. Fortunetly they did me a favor This evening I got in my van to go to the store (where I am now) and where I once had a big blue tub between the front seats to set stuff on and store things in, I now how empty space. My first thought was, "Mom or Dad must've needed it for something". As I drove off my passenger door flew open. My next thought was, "..and they must not've closed the door". Then it occured to me that I had used the van just a couple days ago to load up some monitors from the store that no longer worked. I planned on throwing them away one by one because you can't take them to the dump. (because of the mercury in them). And since then my parents had only been home at Bible Study Thursday night so they couldn't've taken it. I went home and asked dad and sure enough they didn't take it. I checked out the van again and saw that the broken monitors were all gone. So I'm actually kind of offended that somebody would break into my (unlocked...my mistake) van even though I'm actually glad that they took the broken monitors off my hands.

Now it's about time to go see Serenity. I hope it's not bad or anything. I'll be sure to cover my eyes or look away if it is though ^_^

I'm kind of wondering if we had somebody snooping around outside last night. We've had trouble with burglers already, and last night dad and I were watching a movie in house #2, and when it was over he went back into house #1 to go to bed. I however have been sleeping in house #2 just because. So he went outside, turned the carport light off, and I assumed he went into the house to go to bed. A bit later (this was like 1:30 in the morning) I was in the kitchen and I heard something outside, so at first I thought, "hmmm, dad must be doing something" (because he's been working on the boat quite a bit, so maybe he was putting stuff away or something) but then I remembered that he'd already turned the light off so I thought, "wait...maybe it's not dad" and suddenly I heard the dog start barking at the front gate and then I knew, "nope, it's not dad, because the dog is barking!" and just a brief moment later I heard a car take off out in the street. I don't know what it was but I certainly don't doubt the possibility that it was thieves. or a thief. Anyway dad's planning on putting security cameras up and he's also going to fill up a full can of gas (because we've had that stolen before) and put it out in plain visibility for somebody to steal, but instead of gas he's going to put something else in it so that if anybody puts it in their vehicle it'll only be a few moments before the vehicle won't go anymore. That'll teach 'em to steal. XD

Using one of those pricegun things is fun. It just feels good to be able to make something cost $999.99 or $.01. I drove a pickup today. I'd never driven one before. It wasn't much different than a van except the back doesn't have a roof and windows around it. I wouldn't want one. (well unless it could get me over the pass of course) It wasn't a manual though because I can't drive a manual. Well...actually I doubt I'd have any trouble doing it, I just never have before.

Anyway there's a lighted keyboard behind my desk that we ordered for somebody and at first I thought, "hmmm...that might be handy because then I could use it in the dark" but then I remembered that I know where the keys are already without looking, so a lighted keyboard would actually be kinda useless except to show off, but knowing the kind of friends I have, they'd probably say it was retarded and I'd probably agree. ^_^

My dad bought another boat yesterday because it came with a motor that he wanted and the boat and the motor together cost less then just the motor bought new.

But anyway dad's going to fix the motor and put it on our previous boat, and then I'm not sure what he has planned for the boat he just bought. Maybe redo the interior and sell it or something. ..oh and as I was cleaning the stuff out of it I found an unopened beer bottle. Don't worry, I didn't drink it. XD

I downloaded the Age of Empires III demo, but I have yet to play it. I'm going to take it home tonight and try it out though.

I drove home Monday night with my parking lights on instead of my headlights. I didn't realize it until people started blinding me with their brights, and flicking their lights on and off and such. I kept thinking, "what the heck, are my brights on? because the blue glowey thingy isn't there but maybe it's broken or something?" so I turned my brights on and off, but nothing changed so I started thinking things like, "maybe my lights are just...not working?" because the parking lights weren't exactly shining out very far ahead of me, so it was a bit dark on the highway...Anyway I didn't figure out what was wrong until I got home. To switch my headlights on there's a knob that you pull out and one click = parking lights and two clicks = headlights. I accidently only pulled it out one click and thus.

My mom told me today that there's a job opening at some animal fixer upper place that requires computer skills...so it's probably something like checking the animals in or something. I might go for it. hmmm..

I should probably have more to say. Oh well. 4 daaayyyyss!!!

Why did I get sick? I almost never get sick, but here I am like, "oooh, look at me I'm sick!" Ehh. It'll probably go away soon.

I think I could live completely off of bread and water. ...as long as it's fruit, veggitable, dairy, and meat bread. Woo, that would taste kinda bizarre. I might call it Vegguitaireat bread or something. I'd have to have somebody else make it though because my cooking kind of has a reputation for being....in flames?

This afternoon I had an unheard of amount of energy and I don't know why, but I ended up running around the block at full speed. Well okay I didn't last long since I was going really fast and I had to start walking after a while but that pretty much took care of all my excess energy.
Last night Jazz had dropped another mouse that she'd killed into her water bowl and left it there. (I have no idea why she does that.) It was cute but it was kind of skinny..I guess it probably hadn't eaten enough of her dogfood or something. *rolleyes*

I just looked at the calendar and I think....there's only 16 days left until the scramble meet? I was thinking there waaaas like 17 or something...I'm confused. I think it's 16. woo. I don't wanna wait that long.

..but I don't have much to say. ...except I broke the zipper on my pants pocket a couple nights ago. and I ripped my pants in the process. All because the blasted thing got stuck as I was trying to get my wallet out. Yargh.

Okay, I'm not midly sunburned, I'm really sunburned. Fortunetly it hasn't hurt that much for some reason. I just took back two rented movies that were a week late. I wonder how much that'll cost.

I'll probably get a job soon, helping a guy that installs security systems and cameras and stuff, so if I'm lucky it'll mean I'll get to be a monkey and climb on rafters and through crawlspaces and stuff. Unless I just get to use a boring ladder. *sigh* but money's handy.

Whew! I just walked for about 4 hours. I don't know how many miles that is. A few I suppose. But now I'm tired and mildy sunburned. But yesterday was fantastic! zAny is the coolest person ever, we made it home alive, I got blood on the Stusinski's new deck, I got blood on my shoe, Hugh and I ate more food than all the girls combined (which wasn't hard), and I made the most awesome throw with a pinecone ever which consisted of launching it off the Stusinski's deck, across their yard, into the neighbor's yard, and bopping the neighbor's barking dog on the head and basically scaring the daylights out of him. It was "glorious". XD It's just too bad that Mel couldn't hang out with us longer.

...I want to do it again. But at least it looks like I'm going to the scramble meet. Huuuurray. ^_^

Edit: OH! And as I was walking today, I saw an old car that kind of looked something like Hugh's old LTD or whatever he has, but it was jacked up like as high as my van with these very large wheels, and it looked completely hilarious. XD

I was breaking down boxes with my pink boxcutter of doom ealier today and the blade snapped off and sliced through my index finger, which then began to bleed quite profusely and continued to do so for quite some time. It finally stopped though, so now I just have a cut in my finger about an inch(?) or so deep and it kind of hurts. Poor boxcutter. =(

And I just got back from trying out for the play at church because my friends Josiah, Trevor, Nick, and I were hanging out (before the Halo2 thing in last post) and Trevor's mom had tried earlier to convince us to be in the play because they needed about 3 guys our age, and so I told Trevor's mom that I'd be in the play if she let Trevor spend the night at my house and she did. So I guess I'm in. We get to make fun of the bridegroom a lot. That's about all I have to do, so it's pretty simple.

hmmm.. There was a mouse in my dog's food bag the other day. I reached in and felt something bump my hand and I thought, "What the-? Is there something in there?" and I looked and sure enough there was a mouse running around. So I opened up the top and he jumped out and ran away. I didn't know mice could jump so high! It was impressive. ^_^

And I get to see my zAny tomorrow so I know I'm going to be hyper and unable to sleep tonight. oh well. (And I think I've figured out a way to get to the scramble meet too. I told my mom that we should go see my brother and his wife and their baby on Friday, and then Bethany and I could go to the meet on Saturday since they live like...10 minutes or so from the church. Beauty. She said she'd think about it. I hope it works.)

I'm tired. Last night my friends spent the night and we had a two xbox/four person Halo 2 party. Nothing fancy, but it was kind of a spur-of-the-moment plan where we had nothing to do so somebody said, "lets spend the night at Brian's house" and so we did. It was fun though.

[talking about Halo 2]
My friend showed me the glitch where you go to the end of the world and walk on the roofs and can pick up the blinding skull and stuff. I hadn't seen that. It was great. ..and then he and I beat the ENTIRE "boarding the scarab" level in a warthog, even to the point of driving the warthog down into the scarab and killing the guys inside. And THEN the best part is, we finished the level while sitting in the warthog, and since it has a movie afterwards where you walk out, it couldn't load it because we were in the scarab. And so we basically beat the level and froze up the xbox and had to restart. It was glorious. =)

I got to play volleyball tonight. I love volleyball. Probably because I get to smack a ball, and make really cool dives across the ground/floor/sand. It's just my kind of game. And tonight I succesfully served the ball with a bicycle kick, and that just felt smooth. [cool.gif]

My brother bought me Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It's so glorious. I will beat it nine times.

We watched Hide and Seek last night and I realized that Bethany is able to watch scary shows like that because she talks through the whole movie!! So for this one I told her, "look, I want to see what happens when you actually sit quietly, so for the rest of the movie, don't say a word... (...you hoser. XD )" And so she actually watched it in silence, and it was really funny because it scared the badoodles out of her and afterwards she didn't even want to leave the room alone. XD I however thought it was a bit slow moving and maybe even a wee bit boring. ..and kinda silly. But it did have really good acting. Even the little girl was a good actress.

Then we watched The Glass House. Now I'm embarressed to admit that I even rented it. Keep in mind I knew NOTHING about it when I did, and I didn't even read the back to see what it was about, I was just like, "Random movie that looks like it's supposed to be scary" *grabs and rents* _{(except I made sure it didn't have bad stuff in it of course)} and ooohhhh man was that a mistake. That movie was soooooo boooorrrrring and the acting was terrible and Bethany and I hated it to pieces. I'm going to be more careful about the random movies I choose so I don't make a boring mistake like that again. gads. >_<

I wish I could teleport, or fly, or run at super high speeds, or something.

Anyway, I ate a steakburger last night. It was funny. Not bad though. zAny wouldn't've <---(lol, wouldn't've) liked it though. ^_^

Cory, you need to tell me your date of birth so I can send you a present, and I'm too lazy to find out by searching blogs or forums or anything. Make haste, man. (but don't get too excited, because I'm probably not going to spend a lot of money on you. ;) )

Bethany and I were in the mood to watch some funny laughable movies tonight so I rented Hide and Seek and The Glass House. Scary movies can be funny. Plus we didn't get to watch any over the weekend so I want to now.

Last Sunday we went out on the Lake. We didn't walk out, but we did take a couple boats. A boat and a canoe actually. My mom and dad and the dog went out in the boat and my sister and I took the canoe. I stepped into it and the whole thing rolled over, dumping my sister and I into the water. I had no idea it would be so wobbly. But once I realized that, I turned on my balancing skills and all went well. I even stood up and rocked boat a couple times to scare Bethany. ^_^ It was pretty fun though.

dang...I was sure I had something else I was going to say. It was probably REALLY important!! I dunno. But my brother's going to get me Metroid Prime 2 ASAP and I'm going to beat it straight away and it will reach approx. 61.4 on the fun-o-meter. ..maybe...it depends on if 61.4 is a high amount or not.

"I saw a nickel in the street
and knelt to pick it up
Then before I could stand back to my feet
I got hit by a truck

It didn't stop, but left me there
A nickel in my hand
I was quite rich, but my life ended
sooner than I'd planned

So if you see me lying there
Flattened to the ground
You have my permission to come and take
The nickel that I found

I don't care what you do with it
Just use it wisely, 'k?
Because that nickel meant a lot to me
When I got squished that day"

STORY TIME!! A couple nights ago I was coming home from my (and hugh's) friend's house and I was driving along a rather narrow road. The road had no streetlights so all I could see was what my headlights shone on. I had my window all the way down and was kind of leaning against the side just driving along doodeedoo...then something reflecting caught my eye and I looked out my side window...
There right next to my van as I drove by on the skinny road was a really tall guy walking, who had a long black leather trench coat and this really creepy white hair that looked like an 80's rockstar (like KISS or something) and it scared that bejeebers out of me because he came out of nowhere and was close enough that I could almost reach out and touch him. I saw him and I was like, "GYAAHHH!!!! What was THAT!?" I mean I kind of knew it was a person, but I just wasn't 100% sure since it looked like...a zombie or something? with the blasted hair. man that freaked me out.

And then later as I was getting over my jitters, I stepped on the brakes when I came to a stoplight and I heard this "MROOAAWWW!!" sound and I looked down at my brakes and thought, "What. The heck. Was that?" Not sure if it was my brakes or my imagination or what I listened........silence. It sounded like a cat but...where had it come from? More silence. Finally, a bit weirded out, I just ignored it and continued home. Then when I pulled up into the driveway and stopped the van I heard it again, "MROOAAWWW!!" and once again it scared the doodles out of me, so I jumped out of the van and just stood back in fright trying to figure out what it was. I heard it a few more times, and sure enough a cat that had somehow gotten into my van, crawled under the seats and was making really weird, "I'm terrified" noises like cats make. I got it out, but I had the jitters that night. Good niece.

I downloaded RPG Maker 2003 and I've been addicted to it for the past two days and nights almost nonstop. It's fun. XD The problem is I started making a game with no story or sense of good dialogue or anything because I was just trying to learn how to use the program, and now that I know how, I've already put so much time into the game that I don't want to scrap it and start a good one, so I'm just trying to improve what I can and get it overwith. Then I may start a decent one. It's fun though. ...even if it is really lame. =P

That's about all I have to say. Pathetic. heheh. I guess I'll just write a thing about water bottles then.


Water bottles, what are they good for?
You drink them right down and you only want more.
And don't people know that they're spelled with a "T"?
But they say it with a "D" like Wadder Boddle. See?
Sure they are handy 'cause you know the water's clean
And you won't have to suffer the affects of chlorine
But they can be so high priced that it might be a mistake
Though I guess it's always better than drinking straight from Moses Lake.

That song/poem/thing is dedicated to whoever posts first. Ready? Go!

Birthdays are great. I didn't even do anything that day except sit at home and play computer because our LAN party was cancelled due to my friend getting a job and having to work. but it was still great. I got a 1GB flash drive (Spectastic!!), and a SWEET shirt with a flaming metal Batman logo on the front (beaty eh?), and a new watch (quite handy), and the DVD of the old black and white Batman and Robin (which is really cool), and a Fantastic Four movie poster (haven't seen the movie yet but the poster looks good), and some new pens (which I needed straight away because I'm drawing a turbo huge spider-man drawing, that's like...4 1/2 feet long or so), and Creed's "Weathered" CD (which I enjoy quite muchly), and....my older sister took me to Willy Wonka just tonight and bought my ticket and popcorn and pop (and that was splendid.)

...and my brother is supposedly gonna get me something...who knows what. AND he's still going to buy me a video game of my choosing as a congrats on the GED present.

So really birthdays are pretty much awesome. And they're good for your health too, because it's been proven that the more birthdays you have, the longer you live. ^_^


Anyway, Willy Wonka wasn't....fantastic. But it WAS decent and yes, Depp was creepy. Mwehee. Dude Summer is almost kind of close to being over.

Well last week was rediculous. Our church had Vacation Bible School going and I was requested to make a video of it to show at the end of the week. I did so. Then when I attempted to burn it on a DVD I found my DVD burner was still not working. So I tried putting the movie on the camera. That didn't work with Adobe, and the program I usually do it with wasn't working either. Then I decided I'd just take my computer to the church and play the movie from there but whenever I rendered the movie it wouldn't play on my computer right so that wouldn't work either. Drrrr! So I decided that I didn't want to think about it anymore and so Wednesday night I went to a LAN party and was there until 5:00 in the morning. ^_^

Then after getting only a few hours of sleep after that I re-rendered the movie and had a friend over which was kinda silly but oh well. The movie played fine (hurrah!) and so my friend and I went to the church, set up my computer, got everything working and then had to set up about a hundred chairs in the back lawn for the BBQ that evening. anyway, everything ended up working out okay and the video was a success. Then after the evening was over, we took my computer down. I had the tower, and my friend had the monitor. I put the tower in the van behind the second double-door on the side and as he held my monitor he said, "oh look, the meiners got a new car!" I looked. Then as I was looking he said, "open the other door" so that he could put the monitor in the van. While looking at the new car I unthinkingly opened the second door and *CLUNK!!* my tower fell out of the van, landed upsided down on the pavement, the side fell off, and a bunch of pieces flew out in a cloud of dust.

>_<

It turned out the pieces that broke were just plastic ones that held cards in and stuff and my computer ended up working just fine. *whew* Then my friend spent the night and we stayed up until 2:30. lol. so I didn't get much sleep that week.

OH and then the next day I was walking my dog and when I was almost home, there was a dog that looked like a bulldog except it was about my dog's size and it had a hole in it's fence, and as Jazz and I walked by he came charging out and plowed right into the side of Jazz, knocking her sideways and yanking the leash out of my hand. I grabbed him and kicked him in the face and he ran away. lol. but that was kind of scary. Anyway. My mom is telling me we must go. goodbye.


(oh but the best and most exciting highlight of the week was at the very end when I got to talk to zAny. XD)
