I can't really say I'm sad to see them go. Actually, I really felt indifferent on becoming a 20 year old (surprise, surprise huh?). One cool thing though is that for this year, I can have a new nickname, D-20 (I'm just going to try to put in as many bad jokes as I can into posts from now on). Ok well now that I am back from Sunriver, I have a lot of open space ahead of me. Some odd jobs are coming my way, I haven't heard any plans for warhammer yet (which is nice because I don't know how badly/often I want to be playing that), I'm ready to hang out with people, and my days are becoming more organized. Before I go through the week, I'll get some stuff out of the way. The week will mostly be about family stuff, but it might be somewhat entertaining to you. I am putting that as the last part of the post though so you don't have to scroll all the way to the bottom to read the parts that are relevant to you.
Summer Plans:
I have Wednesdays pretty much permanently reserved for hanging out with the guys from jazz band because we want to keep practiced up on trumpets and stuff. On Wednesday nights, I'll be doing some ultimate playing with Steven and Eric and any others that want to join. Also, I need to have lunch with Grandpa at least once a week so I can get groceries with him and whatnot. Also, that is something I want to do. Aside from that, I might be out once or twice a week (though I hope not more) for warhammer. I will generally be able to schedule my odd jobs around the availabilities of people I am planning to hang out with. As for odd jobs, congrats to me, I have found some! Well, mostly just one for now. I have a lot of house improvement lined up for me such as replacing our front door, resurfacing the deck, painting, general cleaning, and possibly felling a tree. That will not be for pay though, it will be my way of paying back my parents for paying for college and stuff. A job I will get paid for is giving private lessons. I guess one of my sister's friends is switching from flute to french horn and wants me to give her some private lessons since she has not played a brass instrument before. Now I can almost see two of you (Davis and Maddy if she reads this) questioning my ability to teach on french horn. Don't worry, I already thought about that myself. I eventually decided that I have a decent resume for a french horn player my age including that honor band, first chair in band (the people in my section were all really good players, despite what it may have sounded like), playing in jazz band. Besides, I think I'm good enough to know how to teach a total beginner and I will be charging a laughably small rate anyway. So yeah, that's my first outside the house odd job that came my way. It will be fun and hopefully more show up for me soon.
Now for my week
Tuesday:
We spent the day in the car from about 9am-5pm. We had a lunch break, but that was really it. We just hung out at the house the rest of the day once we got to Sunriver. My uncle and aunt showed up a few hours after we did.
Wednesday:
My uncle decided he would do a half marathon for his warmup run. He was very tired after that. I forgot to mention earlier that he was planning on running the marathon that Friday in Sunriver. He's a big bigger than me, but he had been training. I would need to do a lot of training because I suck at running and I would have to get my knees to a point where I could run on them. Since it was just the 5 of us again that day, nothing much happened. Kathryn, mom, and I did some biking, but not much else. We all hit up Costco for groceries.
Thursday:
My aunt and uncle went for a walk somewhere, so I went on my own walk somewhere else after I got up. I walked 4 miles in an hour, which was very comfortable. I got back shortly after my aunt and uncle and mom and Kathryn got back from their bike ride a little bit after I got back. That afternoon, my cousin and her husband came in (the ones that just got married a few weeks ago). We discovered that my uncle and 2 of his most annoying kids as well as grandma were staying nearby. Due to family drama, we thought they weren't coming at all. My cousin and Kathryn and I went on a search to see if it was really them and it turned out it was. It was kind of awkward because we knew they were pretty pissed at us about the housing situation (leaving them out (there wasn't enough room, we would have been over capacity by 3 people)). Anyway, shortly after they got there, a few of us had to go pick up dad from the airport since he was flying in that day to miss only one day of work for the week.
Friday:
My other cousin and his wife came in early in the morning. Before they got back though, I went on an 8 mile round trip bike ride with Kathryn, Dad, and my cousin. Once everyone was there, we all hung out and didn't get much done because we were all content to sit around and relax.
Saturday:
My uncle and cousin were running the marathon, so we took them there early in the morning, then stood along the route and held signs and cheered as they passed. We got bored after they went by, so we decided to drive along the path and try to stalk them. My cousin did the marathon in about 4.5 hours and my uncle did it in 6.5. It was pretty cool. I'm thinking in 2 years, I'll try running it too. I need to start running more often than I currently do though. After that marathon, they were pretty tired, so we let them rest. My cousin and I went to Bend to get a game for everyone to play. It was this game she has at her house that is like apples to apples, but you write whatever you want instead of playing from a card in your hand, so it is infinitely more fun. I didn't mind that I didn't win because I was able to write down funny things and as long as I was getting some laughs, it made up for how horrible I was at guessing what people said what.
Sunday:
It was my birthday, but we had to get back home, so we watched both soccer games (which were both poorly reffed) before spending the rest of the day in the car. For my birthday, I got a hard drive and a couple CDs, which is great. I will soon be putting in that hard drive and getting some Windows 7 going.
Today:
I'm enjoying a day off. I haven't really had a day at home to myself yet since break started, so this is nice. I am feeling guilty though since I'm used to doing stuff every day. Like I said earlier in the post, I'm good to hang out most of the time. Until I hopefully see you in person, peace out.

Two thousandth post? What?
Well who knew. I guess this is my blog's 2,000th post. I didn't even notice I was getting close until just now I was going to make the post and it said 1,999 posts. That's pretty cool I guess. Well it's been almost two weeks since summer began and I last posted. I have really filled that time with a lot of stuff. Hopefully the post will not be long as I think it is going to be. While I won't post day by day, know that I did one of these things (if not more than one) each day since the last post. I apologize in advance for how simply worded this post is, I'm making it in a bit of a hurry.
Warhammer:
So I've gotten a bit further into warhammer 40k now. I have an army and it is all painted up and ready for the tournament this summer. I don't think any of you are particularly interested in hearing about it, but I will say that you should not worry, I am not becoming THAT nerdy, I still will choose DnD and videogames over warhammer.
DnD:
Lucy played with us in our first session and it went really well. She plays a little like Sai and Steven and I which is pretty entertaining. Another cool thing she did was get us twice the money we were originally promised from doing a quest. Aside from that, our new characters are pretty entertaining. I am a neurotic alchemist and in the two sessions we have had so far, I have been to jail twice. I enjoy the use of bombs and I bust them out rather frequently. It is not all great though as I almost killed Steven and I the other day by having a bad bomb throw. Fortunately we both have high HP, so we survived an explosion that fell right at our feet.
Family:
Grandpa and I went to Costco a couple times and then we began work on cleaning out the shed yet again. We never really did complete it last summer and my aunt really wants all the crap gone. I must say, he's doing really well with throwing things away. Since I have a very similar personality to him, I know how attached he can get to the crap in the shed, even the stuff he hasn't seen in about 15 years. I spent a couple afternoons on that shed and recently did a small dump load of 300 pounds. We also had a party for my aunt last weekend. We got to see my cousins' house again and it is really coming along. They got it for cheap, but they had to make a ton of repairs and they're still working on it.
Videogames:
I finished the Saboteur which was too bad, I really liked that game. Recently, on the PC, Steven showed me the Typing of the Dead. It's a really silly game, but at the same time, it's pretty entertaining. I spent a lot of time playing it. I think we should cosplay for it at pax. Speaking of cosplay...
Star Wars Concert:
So Davis and I went to Star Wars in Concert in Spokane this past Saturday. Not only did we do that, we wore HOMEMADE JEDI ROBES!!!11 to the concert. I guess Davis thought more people would dress up, but I was pretty sure not a lot would. Not a lot of people that were not children dressed up. The fact that we were probably the oldest guys dressed up in the area was quite nerdy and quite awesome. Pics are below by the way, I think I forgot to mention that earlier.
College stuff:
I got my grades back from SCC, I graduated with over a 3.5GPA! That means my GPA has improved by .5 since high school. I was pretty happy even though I know I probably could have done better. Either way, I now will get good money off for Seattle U. The extra couple thousand dollars over the UW tuition will be worth it for the guarantee that I will get in the classes I need to graduate in 2 years. I really needed that since I am doing law school for 3 years after my BA degree is finished. Also, at Seattle U, they don't let class sizes go over 40 students (except maybe band classes), so that will be super awesome. I went and met with a counselor last week because i had to. The Administrative desk girl was about my age and she was pretty cute and shy as was I since she was cute. My parents later told me she was blushing and they think she liked me (yeah Davis, my parents really seem to want me to hook up with some chick). Anyway, the counselor I went to see was really cool. She had about 15 opened 12packs of beer in her office left over from a senior party. She was pretty hip and not all uptight like I thought she would be (since it is a jesuit school after all). I think I'm really going to like it at Seattle U and I might even stay there for law school unless Keir and I both get into the UW. In that case, I would probably go there.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things here, but that's fine. This post is getting pretty long anyway. I need to start taking notes between posts so I don't forget so many things. At any rate, I'll be gone this week and I will get back late at night on my birthday (I expect so many facebook wishes! (nawt!)). We'll have to do something after I get back. If not for me, at least for Davis' big 21st. Perhaps a possible LAN party again soon?
Ok well I'll let you get back to whatever you were planning on doing, peace out.

I give in, it's time for a post. Now the rest of you should follow my example.
Howdy everyone. I have decided enough somewhat interesting things have happened to me since my last post to warrant making a new post. I'll skip the intro paragraph and get right into it. Also note that the things will be written about as they come to me so they may not be in chronological order. I'll try to mention when each thing happened though.
A week ago or so, Steven came over to watch the MSL finals. It was Jaedong vs Flash and we were both rooting for Jaedong. When he lost 3-0, it was rather disappointing, especially considering Flash did pretty much the same build in all 3 games. Since it was over in about an hour, we watched some kpop before he headed back home. If only we didn't have to stay up until 2am to watch it :/
On the Sunday of memorial day weekend, I went to my first folklife with Sai. We hung out for a bit, experiencing it and whatnot. A couple of his friends that like doing drugs came eventually and we hung out with them for a bit, but fortunately were able to get away when it was time to leave. The people that go to that festival are very interesting. For example, we saw some girl dressed up as the pot fairy or something and she would randomly go around making out with guys if they asked her to. It was kind of interesting to watch it happen. I probably should have gone up and done that for...you know...practice, but I decided I did not want to have the seconds or as Sai put it, much more than just seconds. After we came back from folklife, we finished up the Halo 1 campaign on legendary, then started Halo 2 on legendary. The problem with it is if one of you dies, you revert to the checkpoint. I don't know how Davis and I managed to do the whole thing, but Sai and I gave up after a bit and decided to play some Super C which we beat together for the first time. The last time we beat it, I had died and Sai finished the last level on his own.
I have been enjoying the SC2 beta. Today is the last day and I will be playing some more right after this post. My friend in French recently got his beta key back (someone had stolen it) and we decided to play some 1v1s. I kept randoming to Terran and beating him. After I finally got Zerg and beat him in a ZvZ (I think zerg is his main race) he gave up playing me because I kept winning. He's more used to things like Warcraft though where you have small groups of units that level up. Because of that, I would have big armies compared to him and I would win by sheer numbers. After playing with him one day, Steven and Peter and I played some 3v3s. In one, Peter and I tried to mass planetary fortress, but that failed. 3v3s on the current available map are pretty silly because you just tech a ton (or do what I did and make 200 marines) and then you have a huge battle and its over. UMS has become popular on bnet now also, so that is cool. Steven and I have been playing some Infection, which is a cool version of scarie movie. Also, there is blood pressure marathon, which basically consists of running in squares, so I'm awesome at it. Actually, I left this post open all day and was doing other things. The beta ended a little bit ago. Now I have to find other games to play for a month until the release.
The day after folklife, I went up north to Lake Stevens to hang out with Steven from the trumpet section. We did some playing of some tunes, then talked a lot about Warhammer 40k because I'm going to be playing it a lot with him this summer (when I'm not hanging out with you guys). I'm going to play as space marines and I'm going to even get some miniatures of my own, so that will be pretty cool. I'm only investing 20 bucks though since the small figures can get unreasonably expensive. Also, Steve has a ton of miniatures and far more than enough space marines to fill the requirement I will eventually have for them this summer.
Last week as you may have noticed, Ken Griffey Jr. retired. It was a big enough deal that Keir actually called me. I had just been considering whether I should call him when the phone rang and said it was him. It was sad to see him go, but I'll always have the memories.
This last weekend, my cousin had her wedding. For the weddings of her siblings (last june and january of 2009), they allowed me to wear shorts. With my cousin here, we have a joke that you always do what she says. She told me that I must wear a tuxedo for hers. Shorts would not fly. Of course, she would have been fine if I had worn shorts and a suit jacket, but she jokes around to keep up her persona. For the wedding, I decided to surprise her by actually renting a tuxedo. I also wore red tennis shoes which yes, there is a story behind. When I was 2, my uncle (mom's younger brother) was getting married (his first marriage). I was the ring bearer and at the time, I would only wear this one pair of red tennis shoes. I would pitch such a fit about them being replaced that mom would have to sneak in at night and swap out the new pair for the old pair. I would still notice of course, but that made it somewhat better somehow. Anyway, I had a little tuxedo for the ring bearer job, but I would only wear the red shoes with it. My uncle was nice and said it was really alright, so my parents let me. In support of my decision, my uncle (the younger of my mom's older brothers (the one that I don't get to see as much)) wore red tennis shoes with his tux as a surprise. He was a groomsman, so it was also pretty noticeable. Anyway, the wedding was outside and the weather the previous couple of weeks had been rather like it was over here, generally lousy. Fortunately, it was a beautiful day for the wedding and then went back to more standard weather the next day. She got really lucky. The wedding went well too, I got to be the chauffeur and I even got to anger the wedding planner. I always love annoying the high strung wedding planners. Unfortunately, I don't think any of us can ever top my uncle from my other uncle's (the original red shoe wedding) wedding planner. She was giving a huge speech on what needed to happen and how and was being really bossy. After that, she asked if anyone had any questions to which my uncle said "Is the cheetah really the world's fastest land mammal?" to which she got really pissed. I didn't get that good of a reaction, but I did make the wedding planner pretty mad, which was nice. There was another anal lady there that my other cousin and I enjoyed laughing at behind her back. The best line was "Don't dump any water on the grass!" We both looked at each other and when she left he said "What does she think rain is?" I had to dance with my cousin at one point, but it was the song where he tells you what to do like slide to the left or slide to the right and clap your hands and stuff, so it was easy enough. We left half an hour before midnight and unfortunately missed my cousin's uber drunken singing which was supposedly quite entertaining. On the way back, we stopped at the Darigold plant to check it out. It was super boring.
Oh and somewhat big news (especially if you're my mom). I got accepted to Seattle U! I'm still waiting to hear from the UW, but as I call them and learn more about how absolutely fucked up (sorry about the language, there was no better way to describe the level of badness) the admissions process is there, the more I want to go to Seattle U. It's a bit more expensive, but due to my GPA, I can get 10k a year taken off which will certainly help bring it to the cost of the UW (since SU is a private university). I'm also going to try to get a lot of scholarships as well as do a lot work improving the house/property for my parents for free so that they don't have to spend money on house/property maintenance things. I will also be working under the table this summer to just earn some funds on the side. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. At Seattle U, I can actually minor in something, which means I can get my music minor which is something I would like to do. I will also try out for the jazz band if they have one and I'm looking at trying to stay with the SCC jazz band because I really like the section there. I think I might be able to work my schedule around it, which would be really awesome. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that it looks like I'll be at Seattle U next year for those of you that were wondering.
This week, classes are ending and summer begins. I will be seeing the A-Team on Friday either at midnight or sometime that night. It looks really awesome and come on, it's the A-Team, I have to see it. DnD will probably start soon, so that will be cool too. I'm hoping to finally get around to making my what's on post this week. I guess that's all for now, so I'll hopefully see most of you IRL by the time I post one of these types of posts again. Peace out.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that it looks like I'll be at Seattle U next year for those of you that were wondering.
This week, classes are ending and summer begins. I will be seeing the A-Team on Friday either at midnight or sometime that night. It looks really awesome and come on, it's the A-Team, I have to see it. DnD will probably start soon, so that will be cool too. I'm hoping to finally get around to making my what's on post this week. I guess that's all for now, so I'll hopefully see most of you IRL by the time I post one of these types of posts again. Peace out.

Farewell Junior
Ken Griffey Jr. retired today. It is important enough to me to warrant having its own post. He has been my favorite professional athlete since I was 4 years old when I learned he was also left handed (at the time, I did not know any other lefties) and I've followed his career through my life. I was sad to see his injuries catch up with him in recent seasons, but I will cherish the memories he left the city of Seattle (and myself) with. At least we still have "My Oh My" on VHS which was a great video about the 95 season. I think I might go watch that in honor of him.
Farewell Junior, thanks for the memories.
I'll resume posting again next week. I didn't do it this week because I didn't feel like it (maybe someone else would like to make a post to keep everyone entertained???). Also I will be making a What's on post tomorrow.
