A little of prom
Here's a present for you, it's Big Daddy Torres! I'm posting this because I am not posting more prom pictures because I don't want to post pictures of the girls without their permission and such. There are pictures on facebook and I know that those of you that should want to see them can go there.
Davis: Uhhh, you guys might want to not use that toilet for a while
*3 hours later*
Davis: Yeah don't use that toilet again yet.
Us: Wait, you didn't stink it up, did you clog it?
*debate over how it got clogged*
*later*
Me: Fine I'll use the plunger and do it.
*plunge*
Me: Well it seemed like it was working, maybe I am not good enough
Jack: Fine I'll do it, but you owe me five bucks if I get it to work
*flushes toilet*
Jack: It went down, you already fixed it, you just needed to flush it
Me: So we don't owe you five bucks?

I'll get around to posting the pictures when I have more free time.
I know, I know, I haven't been posting and I haven't posted the pictures. It's been a rough few 8 days, but things are slowing down finally and I will post pictures next week sometime. You'll survive, trust me.
Tuesday:
I went to school and we presented our project in Humanities and I thought it looked really good. Margaux and Ronni did a very good job of putting it together. I saw the grade today and we got 40/40 on the presentation and 58/60 on the paper. Basically, we pwned. Other than that, not much happened during the day.
Wednesday:
It was the last "official" day in music theory. It was nice to finally hand in that stupid book and to know that the class of major boringness is finally over, until I take it or a higher level of it in college.
Thursday:
I spent 4 hours and 20 minutes of the last 4 hours and 30 minutes of school in the photography room because I really needed to get my portfolio ready for the following week. It was somewhat fun to get everything done in one go and thanks to Maddy for helping me mat my pictures.
Friday:
I skipped school because I was going down to Vancouver with my mom to see my grandpa. When we got there, the hospice nurse was just getting there and they gave him about 24 hours to live. Me and 2 of my uncles went to play tennis during the day for some exercise. They spent the car rides screaming at the "stupid bitch in the gps." Later that day, my other uncle's hyper kids and his annoying daughters and his annoying wife came and luckily were only there for 2 hours. That night, after about 30 minutes of quick deterioration, my grandpa passed away surrounded by his wife, his 4 kids, and me. He went peacefully and we all pulled together to get through it.
Saturday:
We had to keep on truckin'. There were appointments to be made and we had to make them. My uncles and I pranked my other uncle with a joke business card that he almost gave away to someone that would have caused him much embarassment. I injured my arm playing racquetball later in the day. Later in the day, Dad and Kathryn came over.
Sunday:
My grandma really wanted to give away a lot of my grandpa's old clothes because she wanted them to go to good homes. Since I was closest to his size (slightly taller), I took a few things. Later in the day, Dad and Kathryn and I headed back home, while mom and grandma and my uncles went out to Kennewick to prepare for the funeral services. I worked on the project a bit with Steven. That night, I made the first of 3 baskets for the basketry merit badge. It took an hour and a half and it really hurt my fingers.
Monday:
Steven and I went to pick up some stuff for the project in the middle of the day. Our project is very basic, but I think it will get us an A.
Tuesday:
The first two classes were short, which was nice. I presented my portfolio in photography and she really liked the one I expected she would. In movie genres, we didn't do much of anything. Campus day was boring because I took a final and pretty much everyone left. The assembly was also boring and I don't really like the yearbook theme, but I must say, my quote "prawns." (seriously, wtf yearbook staff, it was PWNS NOOBS).
Well anyway, things are going to go back uphill soon. We have graduation and FBLA nationals and computer building coming up. I'll post those pictures next week.

Teh Pr0mzorcks
Well basically, the rest of the week was boring (no offense) compared to the weekend. Prepare for a brief retelling of my weekdays.
Tuesday:
All my classes were rather uneventful. In Movie Genres, 2001: A Space Odyssey got a little too boring for Eric, who began snoring during the movie which was pretty funny.
Wednesday:
I don't remember much of Wednesday. We finally got rid of our laptops for the last time and after that, I must have just been playing videogames all afternoon.
Thursday:
I got to see the don't drink and drive assembly not once, but twice. I was slowly driven insane by it because I knew that their motives were fair, but I also knew that I was not going to do that because I don't plan on drinking (at least not with parental knowledge) until 21 because if I can do it with that condition, I have proven myself right and someone else wrong. I say without parental knowledge because he said "Every teenager tries alcohol without their parents knowing before they are 21." I decided I would prove him wrong and for 3 years, I have been doing a good job. In photography, Jake stopped by and we hung out.
Friday:
It was senior skip day, but I went to band, then Ronni's house for the project, then to Music Theory. I got enough skipping school when I did it a week ago. After school, I just sat around playing a couple games of Starcraft, then anticipating Rachel's arrival. I went to pick her up from the airport and it took a while because Sea-Tac is such a big airport. Eventually I found her and then I brought her back home. We hung out for the rest of the night.
Saturday:
We hung out around the house until around 11:00 when we went to go see Nick. It had been 9 years since they had spoken and it was nice for the three of us to be reunited. In elementary school, we went everywhere together. We even had matching clothes. It's been a while since I talked to Nick too, so it was nice all around. Dad brought Grandpa over later on in the afternoon, so we took him to Costco for lunch. Luckily, Rachel was able to get along with Grandpa, although he was being awkward, chewing me out for "not keeping her hand warm." It was somewhat funny actually. We went to get Rachel's hair done at 4:00. At around 6:30, we decided that since we needed to be at Davis' in half an hour, we should get ready. We were only 10 minutes late to Davis' place. Many pictures were taken (I'm sure they're on facebook by now) before we left to Anthony's. On the way in, there was a lady that told us "don't to forget to laugh." It was a little odd, but I guess we didn't forget. Craig our waiter was good and picked up on my humor when necessary, so that was nice. Rachel seemed to get along with everyone and I hope everyone liked her. At the dance, I got to show of my hot date to all the Syre kids. In other words, Rachel got to meet all the kids we knew back in elementary school. There were some pictures taken that I can't wait to get back because they will be good and/or epic. As for dancing, it was hard to initiate dancing. We finally did a slowdance, but I realized that I have not stood that close to someone in a long time and my vision was a little blurry and I kept thought she was saying things when she wasn't. In short, I got nervous slow dancing...awwww. After that, we all came back to my house for some pwnage after party. See: Sunday.
Sunday:
We came back and of course everyone wanted water, which was the only thing that was hard to get for people, but we managed. We all watched Little Miss Sunshine. It was just as good the second time around. After that, we messed around the OnDemand menu before finding a hilarious religious kids show called "Aardvark and Zucchini." Through a combination of the absurdity of that show and my lack of sleep (it was 3:30am), I entered a laughing fit upon the recitation of "The Xylophone Prayer." Shortly thereafter, we learned the xylophone dance, which entails one person laying on the ground and the other person basically rubbing that person up and down. As Orion said, the performance of such a dance on the show was "Basically child molestation by children." Unfortunately, I did not partake in any xylophone dancing, or /dance (good use of that Orion so that only Steven, you, and I knew what you meant). Everyone left around 4, then Rachel and I slept in until about 10:00. We went to go see her old neighbors at 1:30 and they proceeded to rob me of the day with her by talking until 3:30. It was also awkward because they go to St. Luke and asked why I don't go there anymore (offensive pastor and it's just plain boring). So at around 3:30 when we left, I was sad because Rachel was leaving and I didn't get to spend enough time with her. I came very close to asking her to be my girlfriend in the car on the way to the airport, but I was overcome by fear of making her last minutes here awkward, and I just had no idea how to ask out my best friend of 14 (maybe even 15 now) years without it being awkward so I did not and I have been regretting that all weekend. I'm going to go see her again as soon as I can, which will probably be the end of summer, winter break, or spring break.
After dropping her off at the airport and missing my opportunity to get a girlfriend, I headed to my uncle's house where I was to pick up mom and dad who were meeting me there in the other car since the schedules had been odd that day. We left our car with them and saw my cousin's new HDTV. It's very nice. He had GTA4. I now want it after seeing the physics engine and the AI in action. Screw the gameplay, it looks good already. We made it down in great time to Vancouver because there were no cops on the road. I was doing 80+mph pretty much the whole way. When we got there, we met up at my grandpa's house and saw my 2 great aunts and one of my great uncles. I hadn't seen them since the reunion, so it was nice to see them again. After being there for a while, we had to head out to our hotel. It was a nice place. Dad and I watched 300, but since I had driven for 3 hours and was sad from missing Rachel and had done all this on less than 6 hours of sleep, I fell asleep partway through.
Monday:
I woke up as people were getting ready. It took the three of them about an hour to get ready and mom said "Get up before breakfast is ready." They left without me because they couldn't wait, so I did my traditional "get up and be ready in 3 minutes." I met them for breakfast before they had taken a seat. We spent most of the day with my grandpa before having to head back to make it in time to work on humanities a bit, which I gather I will be doing in a few more minutes here.
Other than that, not much. I miss Rachel a lot mostly because of what I did not get to do, but hopefully someday this shall be remedied. I have to go back down to Vancouver to see my grandpa again because it's his birthday (and most likely his last unfortunately). I have 2 projects to do and 5 merit badges to earn. Davis, I need to ask you about your basketry thing. Peace out for now I guess.
