Me: "Rachel Sydow became a fan of YoVille and Falling asleep while cuddling."
WHAT?
O_O
O: well she's probably meaning falling asleep with you and cuddling with you
Me: haha
i must admire your optimism
if she was really a fan of that, she should make a fan page for "having sex with david"
in fact, i should totally make a page for that
O: i might become a fan
me: haha
i bet it would have more fans than my "grammar police" group has members
O: probably
Me: haha
http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=having+sex+with+david&init=quick#/group.php?gid=3953203194&v=info&ref=search
O: lol
beaten to the punch
Me: well not entirely
its a specific group
but some of the stuff in it was funny
see now the danger in making my own having sex with me fan page is that i might never get sex
girls would be like eww he's gross
and since they aren't fans of it, i then have no chance
because everyone knows the only things you have/do/will ever like are the things you fan on facebook
since you can literally be a fan of ANYTHING
"not getting toothpaste on your foot"
O: "not spilling hot sauce on your penis while it's erect and about to enter a woman's anus"
Me: haha
i can't beat that one
O: win!
Me: i need to blog this convo
O: yay, +1 mentions on David's blog => +.00000001 internet fames
Me: hahathat's a very small number that you didn't have before!
^number more than you had before
and who knows
maybe that's the difference between having people being fans of having sex with you and not
O: well only one way to find out
Me: "Wow, Orion? I totally heard about that guy on David's blog! OMG Tara, let's have sex with him!!! I hope he likes my size 46DD breasts! OMG, they're so wet, here let me help you get that shirt off. kissing ensues No, let's save it for Orion! Tee hee, okay!"
ok wow after reading that, i got way too into character
but that's essentially how it would go down
pun intended ; )
O: hahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahaha
Me: im glad you enjoyed that
O: that was hilarious

Monday, October 26, 2009
I almost forgot to post today, but luckily I remembered in band.
Because you totally would have noticed my forgetting to post today and posting tomorrow instead. I think this post will be kept fairly brief because I'm hoping to get back to ToT bag farming in Guild Wars since I'm making good money off of that now.
Monday:
Band was as usual, rather uneventful. Ken wasn't there, so I didn't hear anything of honor band. I didn't tonight either.
Tuesday:
I spent most of the day doing some Guild Wars trying to learn the new Chaos Plains solo farmer or trying out the Assassin build for raptor farming.
Wednesday:
Pretty much the same as Tuesday. We had a test in psych, which I did averagely on. After school, Steven and I had our first SWUF practice. There were four girls there!!!!! (zomgs, we already met our minimum for girls!!) and no guys, but one of the girls was our leading female scorer from Bottomless Stack Fries. Steven and I spent the practice teaching how to throw, doing drills, and generally realizing how out of shape we are.
Thursday:
Test corrections day, it was boring and most of the class was spent debating the answer to one really tricky question.
Friday:
I gave Kathryn all the orange I had so she could wear it for the homecoming assembly. I guess Shorewood lost the game 52-0 (Kathryn called at 9:00 to say the game was over (for those of you that remember, band used to get let out early at 9:30)). I spent most of the day Trick or Treat bag farming. I would have been watching Seinfeld, but I was still waiting on the episodes to arrive, so I decided to watch Star Wars Episode 4. After that ended, Davis got on as I was about to sign off, so I took some haze mints and the three of us (Steven included) vanquished a bit. I must have been really quiet because I was really tired. All I remember about vanquishing was there was a boss with a really huge patrol path. After that, there is evidence to suggest I went upstairs, took a shower, and fell asleep in my own bed, but I have absolutely no recollection of doing that, so I guess props to tired me.
Saturday:
I was getting some Seinfeld episodes, but they were taking a while, so I left my computer on while I went to the Husky game and watched them get pwnt. When I got back, I did more farming. I decided to watch Episode 5 and then Episode 6 as well. It was pretty awesome, but once again, I found myself very tired after I was done with them at around 1am.
Sunday:
I spent some time farming, but I also went to my aunt's house to get another load of garbage. The truck has been taking out garbage from my grandpa's house averaging about 1/4 ton per truckload. So far, we're at 3/4 of a ton of garbage, all that he brought home by hand over years and years and years.
Today:
It was a pretty plain day. It was raining really hard, but other than that, nothing stands out. Band was uneventful and now the Seinfeld episodes are here, so I'm off to Rata Sum to farm some ToT bags. Peace out until next week.

I guess it didn't matter that there was a delay. Oh well, here's a new post. Will you comment on it? Well I hope so, but that's up to you.
Well howdy there. I don't know if anyone reads this blog currently as there are no comments *hint hint.* I assume you do though, so I will keep posting (ok to be honest, I would post regardless). Well now I have finished yet another week of classes. They went well and I guess since I'm already posting a vague emotional description of last week, that must mean I have nothing good for my intro paragraph, so I'll jump right into the week.
Monday:
I came into band and Ken greeted me and asked me how the scout thing was the week before. It's odd because he seems to really have taken a shine to me this year. He also said I should apply for this intercollegit honor band that meets in Reno this year. When it was first announced, I thought about doing it (since Rachel is in Reno), but then it sounded like a thing for music majors. Anyway, with Ken saying I should go for this, I think I will definitely audition and hey if I wind up going, perhaps I can hang out with Rachel while I'm there, which would be pretty cool.
Tuesday:
I tried to get a lot of homework done so that I could play some Guild Wars. I did get in some Guild Wars, but much later in the day because I was on a roll with my micro homework.
Wednesday:
We found out in psychology we could turn in our papers early for 2 points extra credit. I decided to do that and spent 4 hours analyzing an article about old people. I thought the article would be funny and entertaining because the cover picture was funny, but the article was actually really depressing. After that, it was late, so I did some micro homework.
Thursday:
I spent the first part of the afternoon playing some Guild Wars with Steven, then we got a bit bored and signed off to do homework.
Friday:
During psychology, we learned about sleep cycles and stuff like that. The majority of the class was spent listening to people describing strange dreams or sleep quirks they have, wondering what part of sleep it occurred in, the professor telling them it was REM sleep, and Steven and I facepalming at the stupidity. After school, I played a lot of AB with Steven until we realized it was 2 minutes to Stargate, so we afked through a whole ab without anyone calling us for leeching. We of course lost, but it was because the Kurzicks suck. After Stargate, we vanquished some southern shiverpeaks with Davis, which was pretty fun and pretty difficult at times. Theres a skill in Guild Wars called "Vengeance." It's actually not a bad skill for fights. Davis didn't know about it though and Steven had him convinced that if he fell behind the group, that was why he would spontaneously die. It was extremely hilarious listening to his reactions partly because Steven was getting so into it and partly because it was so late and partly because it was so damn funny. Eventually he figured it out, but not before Steven and I had many good laughs about it.
Saturday:
I went over to my aunt's house to help my dad's secretary's son get some stuff out of the pod for his new house. It was nice to see that we were not only getting rid of furniture we didn't want and that it was being used by someone who needed it. After that, Kathryn's friends came over. Originally, they were going to go to the zoo. Unfortunately it was raining, which actually turned out to be a good thing. While I would have gone to the zoo to see the baby snow leopard, since it was raining, they decided to go to the mall. That gave me the afternoon to myself, so I signed on and Steven and I played some Guild Wars. We accumulated more than the other 5 guilds in our alliance (that' right, we're in an alliance now! (they suck balls (Steven says its a bunch of one person guilds (so why don't they all become one guild??? (damn, that was a long chain of parentheses))))). So Steven and I played with this one guy for about half that time. He was pretty cool and pretty good. Like I said, we got a lot of faction. Soon enough, Kathryn and friends came back and took over downstairs, so I brought up the NES and the 360 to my room and played those for a while before going to bed.
Sunday:
I spent most of the afternoon doing dump runs because my grandpa had a ton of garbage (well actually .5 tons that we took away) at his house that we had to get rid of so the house could be painted. Luckily most of it was metal othewise it would have cost a lot more than it did to get rid of it. After that, I did a lot of French homework and then went to bed.
Today:
Psychology was rather uneventful except the professor announcing that due to the amount of questions on Friday, we were now behind schedule. In French, the three of us (the guy next to me, the cool girl in front of me, and myself) had a quick study session before the test. The test went pretty well and I got out early. At jazz band, the girl trumpet was also there early, so we talked for about 25 mintues before band started. I guess she has another year before she can transfer, so we probably won't have classes together anymore (although I might be doing jazz band next year because its fun), but we decided when we're seniors, we'll take a wine tasting course at the UW for elective credit (I didn't even know there was one, but hey if I need an elective, that sounds pretty excellent). Band was rather uneventful and now I find myself here at my computer making a post. I guess I'll see how this honor band thing pans out tonight. Until next week, peace out.

What's On? Star Trek: The Original Series
ZOMG IT'S SAI!Sorry about the spacing, I tried to fix it, but blogger is being a pain in the ass and won't accept my changes.
Well first of all, sorry about the huge gap in posting. Truth be told, I watched 4 episodes over the summer. It was unfortunate because I had only the second half of the final season remaining going into the summer, so I should have finished it up quickly and moved on, but I did not. Though this was a short series, it did take much longer than I hope even longer series' to take.
The Star Trek franchise is one of the most, if not the most well known franchise in all of science fiction. It was originally cancelled after 3 seasons (the third which was due to overwhelming fan support writing letters to NBC to protest the cancellation of the show after the second season). Unfortunately, in its 3rd season, the show never fully recovered and it was cancelled after just 3 seasons. Today though, it has enjoyed a lot of success including inspiring 5 series (many of which experienced great success and ratings) as well as 12 movies (of varying levels of greatness).
While mostly corny, the effects in the original series were ahead of their time and the writers employed had great imaginations to have to create worlds for each episode. Unfortunately, the too often present cheesiness factor can really turn people off from this show. For example, the first half of the first season and scattered throughout the series are some enemies that can basically do anything with just their minds. The idea gets repetitive, but once you get through the first season, it becomes less of an issue. The characters are all interesting and they have cool personality quirks to bring to the table that spark up some funny dialogues at times. The characters are:
Captain James T. Kirk- The captain of the USS Enterprise, a headstrong leader and a great one at that. He values the lives of the people on the Enterprise over his own. He is basically a copy of an honorable captain of a sailing vessel from ye olde england. He always upholds the laws of the Federation and he is the strong kind of leader that everyone looks up to for guidance.
1st Officer/Science Officer Spock- Spock is half human and half vulcan. He really tries to reject his human side though in favor of the cold, logical vulcan half. It does make him useful though. More often than not, he is the calm boon that others look to when the situation gets dire.
Chief Medical Officer Leonard "Bones" McCoy- He's the southern doctor who is frequently arguing with Spock. They have a rather entertaining relationship that gives the show some funny moments in otherwise boring places. He's really thick-headed, but that's what makes him cool. He also has spawned some great quotes, such as "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a [insert obscure profession here]!" and "He's dead, Jim" which is also an overused thing in the first season.
Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott- One of the two characters that has a pretty cheesy fake accent. Scotty is, in my opinion, one of the coolest characters. He is the second in command, which means when both Kirk and Spock are planetside (which happens more often than you would think), he is in charge of the Enterprise. He acts mainly on his feelings and for some reason, he has a much higher level of success with that than the other characters that do.
Communications Officer/Lieutenant Nyota Uhura- She is the stereotypical woman of the '60's. She is obsessed with her feminine beauty and she actually seems to suffer physically in one episode when she sees an ugly reflection of herself. She and Kirk actually experience an on screen kiss in one episode that was really racy at the time. She rarely leaves the ship, but nonetheless, she has become a popular example of how sexist (in a funny way) the series was.
Helmsman Hikaru Sulu- His character remains rather mysterious, but we do find out that he is kind of a ninja. He doesn't speak very much, but as far as characters go, he is kind of like a backup Spock in that his character is very logical, but can falter at time since he is human after all.
Navigator Pavel Chekov- He's the new guy. He actually doesn't arrive in the show until the second season, so don't be too confused if he isn't there. It is clear this show was made in the Cold War era because he has the cheesiest Russian accent I have ever heard. He still has good chemistry with Sulu though as they are both responsible for basically steering the Enterprise. His character is a bit more explained than Sulu's, which is fine by me because his character is often much more entertaining (hearing about stories from back in the motherland).
Nurse Christine Chapel- She's the kind, motherly nurse that is not in every episode, but makes frequent appearences. She is a kind person that is often too trusting, but she is also very professional.
Yeoman Janice Rand- She is only in the first season and the first couple of episodes of the second season. She resembles Chloe from 24 and she is not a very interesting character to be honest.
Unfortunately, it is often easy to call what will happen in an episode. For example, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and some random guy in a red shirt will go down to the planet to explore. When something like that happens, it's pretty obvious that the unknown guy will be killed. I guess the expendable people are given red shirts so that the enemy knows who to shoot.
Probably the best part about Star Trek is that it doesn't really require you to watch all the episodes in order. I would of course recommend watching the early half of season one in order, but after that, go wild. The episodes are always contained within themselves (with maybe one exception throughout the series), so you can watch whichever one you want whenever.
The biggest problem with the episodes though is that the main plot of the episode takes about 15-20 minutes to get to (very slow build) and then in the last 5 minutes of the hour long episode, everything is suddenly resolved. By that, I mean that we go from them talking about the issue, and then in the last 5 minutes, there's all the action, then the closure for the episode. It gets a bit tiring to watch the episodes multiple ones at a time because of that.
All in all, it's a good show that you should definitely look into if you're into science fiction. It may surprise you how many references are made to Star Trek: The Original Series in other very famous science fiction movies.
Ok that's it for this time on "What's On?" Now, I will start watching shows that were around for much longer, but hopefully I'll avoid having such a large gap as this last one between postings. So yeah, tune in next time for more good watches.

I LIED, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
Twas not intentional twas not! I know I promised you a "What's On?" segment last "Wednesday or Thursday, but knowing me, just expect Wednesday," but I underestimated how much time it would take me to find time to watch 4 episodes amongst the week of much business. I don't know if anyone cared or noticed because I have only had one post of that type to this date and I don't remember how well it was recieved. Anyway, I do promise (for sure this time) to post one this week. I'm not sure how long I expect this post to be, so I'll just spare you the details and I'll get right into it. Oh, and I'll be posting a couple pictures sometime after this post just for reference to things mentioned in the post.
Monday:
The ceremony was nice and I even got to give a speech about Red which was cool because he's been a really cool guy throughout scouting and I thanked him on behalf of my generation of scouts and I could tell he was starting to cry. I was happy that I moved him because I spoke in monotone again without realizing it. Also, I had my first attempt at bugling going in cold after about a year and a half or more of not playing. Needless to say, I epic failed on the opening. The closing, I told the guy calling not to bring me in because I didn't want to risk messing up and the room we were in was so short, the flags would be in their final place by the time I finished the first measure of the song (actually not exaggerating that!).
Tuesday:
On Tuesday, I spent the whole afternoon kind of studying off and on for psych. When I wasn't doing that, I was studying some new parts Doug had me doing for Jazz Band. He puts the songs we're playing online so we can always study them. It's been very helpful actually. I listen to them every day even when I don't have time to practice. It's good to just have the tune in your head.
Wednesday:
Ok that was strange, a phantom "Tuesday:" just appeared below that last paragraph. I don't know why or how, but it did. Anyway, Wednesday was pretty intense. I had the psych test, which went pretty well. After class though I had a lot of homework. I was determined to finish all my micro homework (and there was a lot) that day so I wouldn't have any and so I could enjoy my home aloneness for the whole weekend. It took from 1pm through about 9pm, but I finally got it done and I suppose it was worth it, though I won't do that much on one day in the future.
Thursday:
We had the special "second chance" in psych where you redo the multiple choice section with all your notes and stuff for a chance to get 2 extra points if you get them all right. I worked with Steven and his friend from another class, Ben(Tim) and we got them all right, which was pretty cool. After school, I met grandpa for lunch at Costco, then I hung some stuff up at his place, then I went home to see my family off and then the aloneness began. I promptly moved my computer into the TV room and hooked it up to the TV. It didn't last very long because soon after I started some Starcraft, I alt tabbed out of it to see a gchat message and the TV no longer recognized my computer at that same second. After trying to get it back, I gave up and went back to my original plan of having the computer screen at such an angle that it seemed side by side with my TV so I got some cool duel screen action going. I got in 2 of the 4 remaining episodes for What's On, but then it was late so I went to bed.
Friday:
I turned off my alarm in my sleep. It hadn't happened for a while, but now the streak of that is broken. We got our tests back in psych, but I didn't for obvious reasons. I did make it to French though, but the cute girl that sits in front of me was not there. After school, Steven and I went to the UW to hang out with the asians. Sai and I played pool for a while and I actually did better than I usually do. Eventually, Ben and Steven played some ping pong. During that time, Sai randomly disappeared for about 20 minutes only to later reveal it was because he had run across campus to tell Ahmad a story of a guy that he saw peeing like Starman. Eventually, Ben had to go to a Starcraft tournament. We stayed for a game, but then we went back home. I spent the rest of the night enjoying the peace and quiet.
Saturday:
I picked up grandpa again for lunch because he had the Troop 853 Eagle banner, which my aunt had had at her house to sew my name on it. Now I am forever immortalized right below Davis on that grand banner that still smells like old farts for some unknown reason (actually the reason is that it's probably never been washed and we've had it since at least 1977). We had lunch at Costco, then I picked up Sai on my way home. Well I was going to, but he was making rice cakes using A MORTAR AND PESTILE!!!11 It was not as extreme as it sounds, but he did make a batter that looked suspiciously like semen and had the same consistency. After he finished (heh!), we brought some old game systems to my house since he had to put a bunch of them in the shed because his father got mad. He's letting me borrow his NES cables to make the one I found at my grandpa's house functional. We played some Mario Bros. 3 before moving to Contra after learning my cartridge for Duck Hunt was messed up and we would be unable to use the light pistol. After that, we went to Zombieland with Steven and then the rest of the asians met us there. Sai forgot his ID, but managed to get in anyhow. Zombieland was actually surprisingly good. I found myself laughing more audibly at a theater than usual. I would totally recommend seeing it though. After that, we all went to Red Robin and ate a meal without claiming it was someone's birthday for once. It was also nice to see Josh because as Steven put it "There was never a lull in the conversation." After all of that, Sai and I came back here and we played some Halo until falling asleep, then the next morning we played some more. When we got bored of Halo, we did some Contra and got pretty far, then we had to go because I had to go to the Eagle ceremony. I picked up Bohdan on my way since I was dropping off Sai. I messed up one note on the opening and the closing was nearly perfect, so I was rather pleased. The ceremony was pretty nice, but I wouldn't expect any less from that family. Afterwards, I dropped Bohdan off at Syre to take pictures for his Eagle project while I went to get Sai's laptop that he left over, then I dropped Bohdan off. I spent the last few hours until my parents came back just playing some games and watching some TV.
Today:
I got to French and the guy that sits next to me (who's actually a pretty cool dude) asked me "So did you finish the homework?" Thinking he was putting me on (since I had forgotten the first 3 assignments so far), I said "Haha, you can't fool me that easily." As he persisted though, I gave in and asked which assignment he met. Turned out, he wasn't kidding. It was a 8 page packet we got on Friday. I'm now 0 for 4 in that class in case you're keeping count. It's getting to be really awkward. I guess now I'll get back to my onslaught of micro homework and then maybe I'll try to get ahead in psych by doing an assignment that's due next Monday or hell, maybe I'll get some French homework done for once. On second though, no I don't think I'll do that last one haha. I'll remember this time, righT?
Don't forget, I owe you a new segment sometime this week. Poke me with rusty cattle prods if I don't do it. Peace out.

I was happy that I moved him because I spoke in monotone again without realizing it. Also, I had my first attempt at bugling going in cold after about a year and a half or more of not playing. Needless to say, I epic failed on the opening. The closing, I told the guy calling not to bring me in because I didn't want to risk messing up and the room we were in was so short, the flags would be in their final place by the time I finished the first measure of the song (actually not exaggerating that!).
Tuesday:
On Tuesday, I spent the whole afternoon kind of studying off and on for psych. When I wasn't doing that, I was studying some new parts Doug had me doing for Jazz Band. He puts the songs we're playing online so we can always study them. It's been very helpful actually. I listen to them every day even when I don't have time to practice. It's good to just have the tune in your head.
Wednesday:
Ok that was strange, a phantom "Tuesday:" just appeared below that last paragraph. I don't know why or how, but it did. Anyway, Wednesday was pretty intense. I had the psych test, which went pretty well. After class though I had a lot of homework. I was determined to finish all my micro homework (and there was a lot) that day so I wouldn't have any and so I could enjoy my home aloneness for the whole weekend. It took from 1pm through about 9pm, but I finally got it done and I suppose it was worth it, though I won't do that much on one day in the future.
Thursday:
We had the special "second chance" in psych where you redo the multiple choice section with all your notes and stuff for a chance to get 2 extra points if you get them all right. I worked with Steven and his friend from another class, Ben(Tim) and we got them all right, which was pretty cool. After school, I met grandpa for lunch at Costco, then I hung some stuff up at his place, then I went home to see my family off and then the aloneness began. I promptly moved my computer into the TV room and hooked it up to the TV. It didn't last very long because soon after I started some Starcraft, I alt tabbed out of it to see a gchat message and the TV no longer recognized my computer at that same second. After trying to get it back, I gave up and went back to my original plan of having the computer screen at such an angle that it seemed side by side with my TV so I got some cool duel screen action going. I got in 2 of the 4 remaining episodes for What's On, but then it was late so I went to bed.
Friday:
I turned off my alarm in my sleep. It hadn't happened for a while, but now the streak of that is broken. We got our tests back in psych, but I didn't for obvious reasons. I did make it to French though, but the cute girl that sits in front of me was not there. After school, Steven and I went to the UW to hang out with the asians. Sai and I played pool for a while and I actually did better than I usually do. Eventually, Ben and Steven played some ping pong. During that time, Sai randomly disappeared for about 20 minutes only to later reveal it was because he had run across campus to tell Ahmad a story of a guy that he saw peeing like Starman. Eventually, Ben had to go to a Starcraft tournament. We stayed for a game, but then we went back home. I spent the rest of the night enjoying the peace and quiet.
Saturday:
I picked up grandpa again for lunch because he had the Troop 853 Eagle banner, which my aunt had had at her house to sew my name on it. Now I am forever immortalized right below Davis on that grand banner that still smells like old farts for some unknown reason (actually the reason is that it's probably never been washed and we've had it since at least 1977). We had lunch at Costco, then I picked up Sai on my way home. Well I was going to, but he was making rice cakes using A MORTAR AND PESTILE!!!11 It was not as extreme as it sounds, but he did make a batter that looked suspiciously like semen and had the same consistency. After he finished (heh!), we brought some old game systems to my house since he had to put a bunch of them in the shed because his father got mad. He's letting me borrow his NES cables to make the one I found at my grandpa's house functional. We played some Mario Bros. 3 before moving to Contra after learning my cartridge for Duck Hunt was messed up and we would be unable to use the light pistol. After that, we went to Zombieland with Steven and then the rest of the asians met us there. Sai forgot his ID, but managed to get in anyhow. Zombieland was actually surprisingly good. I found myself laughing more audibly at a theater than usual. I would totally recommend seeing it though. After that, we all went to Red Robin and ate a meal without claiming it was someone's birthday for once. It was also nice to see Josh because as Steven put it "There was never a lull in the conversation." After all of that, Sai and I came back here and we played some Halo until falling asleep, then the next morning we played some more. When we got bored of Halo, we did some Contra and got pretty far, then we had to go because I had to go to the Eagle ceremony. I picked up Bohdan on my way since I was dropping off Sai. I messed up one note on the opening and the closing was nearly perfect, so I was rather pleased. The ceremony was pretty nice, but I wouldn't expect any less from that family. Afterwards, I dropped Bohdan off at Syre to take pictures for his Eagle project while I went to get Sai's laptop that he left over, then I dropped Bohdan off. I spent the last few hours until my parents came back just playing some games and watching some TV.
Today:
I got to French and the guy that sits next to me (who's actually a pretty cool dude) asked me "So did you finish the homework?" Thinking he was putting me on (since I had forgotten the first 3 assignments so far), I said "Haha, you can't fool me that easily." As he persisted though, I gave in and asked which assignment he met. Turned out, he wasn't kidding. It was a 8 page packet we got on Friday. I'm now 0 for 4 in that class in case you're keeping count. It's getting to be really awkward. I guess now I'll get back to my onslaught of micro homework and then maybe I'll try to get ahead in psych by doing an assignment that's due next Monday or hell, maybe I'll get some French homework done for once. On second though, no I don't think I'll do that last one haha. I'll remember this time, righT?
Don't forget, I owe you a new segment sometime this week. Poke me with rusty cattle prods if I don't do it. Peace out.

::The post of the week is below::
(To the best of my memory)
*Steven, Davis, and I are deciding where to vanquish*
Steven: Ok, it looks like we can do Ice Floe or Tasca's Demise and Mineral Springs.
Steven: I don't really care what we do. David, what do you want?
Me: I don't really care either, let's have Davis decide.
Davis: I don't really care.
Me: Well pick a letter.
Davis: V
Me: ...Pick another letter
Davis: What? You told me to pick a letter, did I not do exactly that?
Me: Yeah I guess I should have been more specific, pick another letter.
Davis: X
Me: God dammit, pick a real letter!
Davis: That is a real letter! You're asking for a letter and I'm giving you that. None of the letters are what you want, what letter are you even looking for?
Me: Fine, fine, I'll be more specific.
Me: Pick a vowel-
Davis: U
Me: That isn't U!
Davis: Y
Me: GOD DAMNIT, PICK A REAL VOWEL.
Davis: WHAT THE HELL, Y IS A REAL VOWEL.
Me: It's a sometimes vowel! I don't want no bitch-ass vowel, pick a real vowel!
Davis: X
Me: You already guessed X!
Davis: Yeah, but since you didn't know Y was a vowel, I doubt your knowledge of our alphabet and for all I know, X might be a vowel to you!
Me: Ok, ok, pick a vowel THAT ISN'T Y OR U.
Davis: Ok, I pick E, the most common letter in the English language.
Me: Ok finally, shit. That was an ordeal.
Steven: Damn, I should have been recording this.
Davis: Yeah, David not being specific enough.
*later, after discussing aggro*
Davis: I pick another letter, it's D, which stands for David and Dick!
Me: did you watch the rvb?
Steven: ya
Sent at 10:23 PM on Monday
Steven: good chat
Sent at 10:26 PM on Monday
Me: thanks, i thought so too
it's like living out one of my dreams
Steven: hahaha
Me: but someday Bret Favre will retire
Me: he'll retire when john and kate plus 8 retire
Orion: that won't happen for a while
Orion: i mean hell they're divorced and they're still doin a show together or "separated"
Me: no didn't you hear?
Me: john got fired a couple weeks ago
Orion: really?
Me: yeah
Me: the headline today
Me: Jon Raids Bank Account? Kate says Jon left her with almost nothing.
Me: WHICH SHOULDN'T BE A HEADLINE
Orion: how did he get fired from his own show?
Me: someone needs to assassinate these people and call CPS for their kids
Me: because he's not a family man and it's a family show
Me: and they're going to make a spinoff show called "John plus monthly visitation privileges"
Orion: lol

This week will probably wind up being nice.
Howdy all. Last week was not bad, but this week (especially the end) promises to be very good. What's going on? My parents and my sister are going to some cabin on some beach on some lake somewhere with their friends. I would know more, but frankly, I really could care less. They asked if I wanted to come along and I was basically like most definitely not. So they leave Thursday immediately after Kathryn gets out, so I'll have the house to myself from Thursday afternoon to Sunday night. I have some big plans that include enjoying the lack of mom blasting Rascal Flats or some broadway show tune and I will also enjoy moving my computer into the TV room for the weekend. Ok, enough getting excited about that, I'll post on it next week. Before I get into this past week, I should tell you to expect a "What's On?" post this week as I am almost done. I have four episodes left to watch and after my test on Wednesday, I should have time to post. I would say expect the post to come on Wednesday or Thursday, but knowing me, just expect Wednesday. I'm going to post in terms of my classes for each week until I really start doing interesting things during the week.
Psychology:
I spent the whole week transposing jazz tunes during class. It was a nice way to keep myself busy when I wasn't taking notes (I listen in class, but don't take notes).
French:
The girls are still hot. Another cute girl started sitting in front of the guy that sits next to me (next to that other cute girl), but she hasn't been there in a couple of days now. That guy that sits next to me is actually a pretty cool guy. Other than that, I'm making good progress with learning the language.
Jazz Band:
Doug had me doing all those transpositions for the pieces, but they are sounding really cool and he's happy with them. I talked to our piano player (who looks really familliar) and he did indeed know Davis and I think he said he lived near him on campus as well. I didn't catch that part as much. He's really nice though. Today, Doug played a clip of a song for us that had violins in it and the cool bass player (who was in it last year) leaned over to me and said "Sounds like another instrument we don't have, you don't happen to play violin too do you?" It was pretty funny. Actually, Jazz band has been fun this year. The people aren't as awesome as last year, but Doug for whatever reason is much happier this year and isn't a dick. We're all starting to notice.
Microbiology and Band:
Why did I put these two together? They haven't been interesting enough to warrant a post about. There's your reason.
Friday:
It was the start of the bonus weekend for vanquishing in Guild Wars. Steven and I vanquished until 9:00, then we both watched Stargate Universe. I really liked it (because the background was similar to Mass Effect's background) and it was helpful to have Steven answering my (I'm sure many) questions. I'm going to keep watching it unless it gets really terrible, which I doubt will happen. After that, we vanquished.
Saturday:
I went to Joel's Eagle project. Danny McCoy came by during it and said hi. I hardly recognized him at first and I was surprised he recognized me, but it was cool to see him. Joel ran his project well and we actually got the whole thing done on time. After that, dad and I went and dropped off a rug at my aunt's house, then came home. That night, my family went to see the Informant, which was really funny. After that, I came home and vanquished.
Sunday:
I spent most of the day homeworking and watching football. It was really uneventful, but I was happy to actually get the Saints to play for once. I also popped above third place in our fantasy football league, but that is soon to change because Orion has 2 players playing today and one of them is Adrian Peterson. I had a bad week though since my best players were on a bye week, so I'm happy to have stayed in as much as I have through that all.
Today:
I woke up and realized I had forgotten to do my 17 pages of French out of the workbook (I can already see disastrous possibilities for this in the future) and I did them during psychology in time for French. In Jazz Band, we got through a couple tunes and got a new one (the orchestral one). Tonight, I'm skipping band to go to my last scout meeting ever. Red is retiring from the troop, which means dad and I will be as well. From now on, if I go to a scouting event, it will be an Eagle project or an Eagle ceremony.
Ok well on Wednesday, I'll give you a post. I'm also posting some quotes right after this post. Until later, peace out.

Steven on a lack of people to pvp with in Guild Wars:
Steven: We need more gamers, less gaymers
Keir shows me douchey picture of himself:
Keir: have you seen this douchebag?
Me: His face seems eerily familliar.
Me: What did you write on your chest?
Me: I can only make out the word fuck.
Keir: Fuck bitches, get money.
Keir: Although, since I'm British, it should be:
Keir: Intercourse females, acquire currency!
Steven: We need more gamers, less gaymers

It begins! (yet again)
Well the new school year has started. Already I find I have made a mistake, making this quarter's schedule Psychology and French with Jazz Band and Microeconomics, making for a very easy quarter. Hopefully the next two won't be difficult as I will be filling them with more...academic classes (not to say I don't need the ones I'm in, I just should have spaced them out). Anyway I'm going to lay out my classes first and then I'll get into the weekend since you can assume that my weekday afternoons are now spent gaming/homeworking. The day before school started was pretty uneventful in case you're wondering. I just helped grandpa with some stuff around the house and then I headed home to take the last few hours before I had to go to bed to myself.
Campus life:
The parking is terrible this year. It was always bad at the start of every quarter last year, but this year is crazy. It's persisting too, which worries me because I don't like parking so far away from school. Hopefully people will start dropping like flies eventually and I'll once again get to park significantly closer to the school. Other than that, not much has changed, activists continue to plague the campus which I hate because I don't want to see hitler Obama pictures up everywhere I go.
Psychology (9:30-10:20 Daily):
This class will be fun because Steven wound up getting in, so that makes the class good by just having that happen. The professor also seems to be a really cool guy that has a good sense of humor, so that's also good. Throughout the quarter, there are 4 homework assignments and 6 tests, 5 of which will be graded (meaning that if you get 100% on the first 5 tests, you can just skip the final and it won't matter) so that could potentially be very awesome as that is my only class that actually has a final exam during finals week.
French (10:30-11:20 Daily):
The professor happens to be the mother of one of my mom's former students, which was kind of coincidental and mostly uninteresting, but my mom found much amusement in that fact, so whatever works I guess. She's a nice lady and good at speaking French (boy I would hope so) and I think the class will go well. There are also quite a lot of hot girls in the class. I wound up sitting next to (well he sat next to me) a cool gamer and there's a cool indie kind of girl (stephanie-esque but hotter than she currently is) that sits in front of me, but a guy might have taken her so I'm content with where I am anyway. This is also the same room that Business Law and Great Works of Asian Literature were in (I just can't get away from the room!) so I took my trusty seat in the back right corner haha.
Jazz Band (11:30-12:20 Daily):
We lost our whole sax section, so now the trumpets are Doug's go-to section which has its ups and downs. We also got a new guy who seems really cool and he's older than the guy I used to stand next to. Doug also decided that with a lack of trombones, he would make me play french horn on a few of our new songs. With Davis' help, I was able to transpose and despite sight reading them today, he seemed satisfied with the work I did. Jazz french horn could definitely be awesome if I get better at it.
Microeconomics (Online):
My professor is a funny guy and he really likes to make jokes every chance he gets and fortunately for him and the whole class, they are almost always actually funny. Microeconomics is WAY more interesting than accounting and if I weren't so interested in Law already and already so far in my business major, I would have changed my Business major to economics major. Actually, I may be looking into that still, it's more important I get into UW next year than change majors like this, but if it's easy enough I might look into it.
Concert Band (7:00-9:30pm Mondays):
Yeah this old thing. My section seems mostly unchanged, so that's nice because we all work well together. I only went to one of our two optional practices because last week I had a toothache and I was worried about doing well for jazz band. We have 3 concerts in one quarter which I know I'm up to doing, but I wonder about some of the other people. Tonight is the first official rehearsal, so I'm interested to see how we do tonight.
Saturday:
Dad and I went to see Lewis Black, my favorite comedian and the guy that inspired my short lived "Things I Hate" segment (after realizing I don't really hate things). He was of course very funny and I'm glad I finally got the chance to go see him perform.
Sunday:
Football day! I went to Will's eagle ceremony though during the Seahawks game. I had to speak about the trail to eagle, so nothing too big. It was a small ceremony and we were in and out in 45 minutes. After that, I watched more football and transposed music during that.
Well that's it for this week. I'll probably go now to play Guild Wars or something so peace out.

Almost school starting time
Well school starts on Wednesday and I guess I'm ready for it. I don't think it will make much of a difference in my schedule other than I won't be able to sleep in. The classes seem like they will not be homework intensive, so hopefully I'll get some time to play Guild Wars and whatnot. Well I guess this post won't be too long so I'll hop into the week.
Tuesday:
After working Thursday through Monday, I decided that I would take Tuesday off, so I did and I just played some KotOR and Guild Wars.
Wednesday:
I met grandpa at Costco for lunch and then I went back to his house and hung some pictures after taking him to my aunt's house to organize it a bit while he petted the cats. Unfortunately while we were there, he fell down, but he is okay. He even went to the doctor a couple days later and the doctor says he has the hip of a much younger man (I must get my 18 Con. from him). After hanging pictures for a while, I ran out of nails so I went home.
Thursday:
Grandpa went to the fair, so I had the day off. I spent the day not doing very much.
Friday:
I went shopping with dad, my aunt, and grandpa for a new walker since his old one went to hell. We got him a nice new one as an early birthday present (his birthday was the next day). After that, I went to my aunt's house to take some stuff she needed out of the pod and to put a lot of stuff she didn't back in it. After that, I came home and played some Guild Wars.
Saturday:
I met grandpa at the mall then we went back to Aljoya and had lunch there. After that, I finished hanging pictures and we waited for the party to start. He invited a lot of people, but it was raining so only family showed up. We watched the huskies get an awesome win over USC which was pretty awesome. After dinner, we all went home.
Sunday:
I spent the whole day at home. I spent pretty much the whole afternoon playing Guild Wars with Steven and Davis. Steven and I have gotten into pvp again and hopefully someday Davis and Orion will join us.
Today:
I had a dentist appointment, but nothing else really happened. I'm waiting for team arenas to start with Steven right now and maybe Davis will get on later so we can do another mission. Until later though, not much will be up, so I'll see y'all later.
Tuesday:
After working Thursday through Monday, I decided that I would take Tuesday off, so I did and I just played some KotOR and Guild Wars.
Wednesday:
I met grandpa at Costco for lunch and then I went back to his house and hung some pictures after taking him to my aunt's house to organize it a bit while he petted the cats. Unfortunately while we were there, he fell down, but he is okay. He even went to the doctor a couple days later and the doctor says he has the hip of a much younger man (I must get my 18 Con. from him). After hanging pictures for a while, I ran out of nails so I went home.
Thursday:
Grandpa went to the fair, so I had the day off. I spent the day not doing very much.

Heh, it sure has been a while, hasn't it?
Why hello, I have returned to word posting. I originally planned on doing it last week, but then I posted the pictures and I didn't want to make a huge word post right afterwards and then from Thursday on, I was busy all day every day. I actually have some time to myself today by which I mean I'm working again, but I took the morning off and I won't work too long because I have band tonight (fun fun (not)). I also will have the luxury of working alone today, which will be a nice change of pace. I guess I'll get into the post then since it might be a bit long. In case you are wondering, yes, I am getting back into regular posting with the school year starting again next Wednesday, so expect new posts every Monday, or at least a very flimsy excuse why I didn't.
9/1:
I think that was the day I played Mass Effect all day and "I'm pretty sure I'm right about that and that's that."
9/2:
Dad and I met Grandpa for lunch and then dad left back for work and I took him home and cleaned up his house a bit more for the move that was coming up. That night, we had our last DnD session. It was short, but just long enough for my character to die. This wasn't a totally stupid death like my last character though (the one that crawled in a giant ant anthole and (surprise surprise) was killed by giant ants). This time, we were talking about how we had no leads on our main quest and then Davis told me I saw someone I recognized moving through the crowd. I quickly pursued him and it led to me being separated from the group and being alone. In retrospect, I should have realized that Davis was making it oddly hard to track down someone that I thought was so crucial to the plot, but oh well. My character's dead now and a very important item he was carrying is lost with him. My new character is going to be a druid because I decided it's time for someone else to be the meat shield in combat and also because I CAN BECOME A FUCKING DINOSAUR!!!!! Anyway, I'm in no particular hurry to get that character made though because we probably won't play until next summer anyway due to Orion's lame winter break schedule. If we're lucky though we might actually get one or two sessions in during our winter breaks, so I'll try to have it done by then.
9/3:
I went to the Seahawks game with Grandpa. We were facing the Raiders and we totally won. It was a good game.
9/4:
I woke up earlier than usual and picked up everyone and we went to PAX and got in the big queue to make sure we got our concert tickets. Eventually, Pyramid Head and Company showed up and we waited with them. Davis got PMed by way of inflatable ball while in the line and that was the only really interesting thing that happened while there. After that, we headed up to the expo hall because it was right in front of us. We looked at all the booths, then somehow everyone just split up which worked out pretty well. Sai got asked to pose for pictures and started practicing his new pose, just randomly putting his hand around the other person's (who was a stranger to him) neck. One girl told him he touched her inappropriately to which he responded "No, but I could if you want." It was apparently the Pewter Pyramid Head of +2 Confidence and -2 Perception (there were some rather comedic visibility issues).
After a while, we went to the LucasArts cantina to hang out and Davis and I got some greenscreen pictures. It was a cool room and I struck up a conversation with a girl who noticed my Mass Effect shirt. After a while, I had been away from the group for a while, so I awkwardly ended it and Orion said something that I forget but I remember we both agreed that if she was a bit hotter, I should have gotten her number or something. After that, the group split up again and then we were left with just the 4 of us and we headed down to the DnD place to play DnD. Our other two people didn't show up, so John and his fiance joined us for our second game with the cool dungeon master. We got 3 hours worth in, plenty for the whole weekend IMCO. We then had enough tokens to buy miniatures, which we held off on because they sucked on Friday. After going back into the expo hall again for a while, we went to break the DS world record which was hot, sweaty, stinky and too long. We at least broke it though, that was nice.
After that, we didn't do much until we went to the concerts. We came in late to the first band (Agamemnon or something) which was fine by me because I didn't like their music. We watched all of Metroid Metal. Ok so I'm not really a Metal type of guy, but I generally like Metroid Metal. I didn't exactly like this though because the room didn't really carry the sound very well and it was just a lot of noise the whole time and I just spent the time playing Fire Emblem. We headed home after that.
9/5:
We got going an hour later because we didn't need to get in line for concert tickets that time. The added hour of sleep was much appreciated by my body and I'm sure everyone else enjoyed it too (those of us that actually were able to sleep through the night (probably just Steven and I)). When we got to PAX, we hung out around the top floor waiting for it to open, then went to PC freeplay for some L4D, which is pretty damn fun I must say. I kind of want to get the game, but I don't want to pay too much for it, especially since I pretty much beat the whole game over the course of the weekend at PAX. After doing that, we went down to the expo hall to do another swag run. Steven and Orion left during that time to do some Tetris thing and to watch (not sure what Orion was doing actually), leaving Davis, Sai, and I. We decided to go learn munchkins. They only had the superhero spinoff version which was really complicated and not very fun. On top of that, I had to pee, but I didn't want to leave and hurt Davis' feelings (at the time), so I was kind of not trying very hard to win. Eventually, everyone found us and we hung out as a group, then split up again after dinner.
While wandering around the expo hall with the four of us plus Chris, this weird lady in a walker comes up and she awkwardly lingers around Davis looking at his sign. Then she finally gathers the courage to talk to him and he explains the meaning of GLF (at that point for the 1,000,000,000th time) and she starts to walk away and I was awkwardly looking away and making an awkward face at Orion and I guess while I was doing that, she laid a kiss on Davis' cheek. Mind you, this girl was a total 203 (and I'm being nice). I turn away from her to hid the face of awkwardness I'm making at Orion when my bag hit something so I turn my head a bit more. I used my periphs to see that IT WAS HER STILL THERE. Hoping she didn't see the faced I was making, I kept turned away from her when suddenly, she plants a wet kiss on my cheek. It was terrible; if you know me, you know I have a thing about germs like that and that was just gross to get that. She then gives Orion a kiss too and during this, Chris and Steven have backed up and Chris just has this look of horror on his face. She then faces them with her back to me and asks for permission to kiss them. "Anyone want another one?" She said. I was like "I DIDN'T WANT ONE!" but I was too polite to say that out loud. She wound up giving them each one. I took the first chance I could to wipe the germs off on the next booth over. After that experience, I started carrying sanitizing spray with me in public areas. It was gross.
So yeah I wrote a lot about that up in that paragraph haha so as you can tell that was really the only notable thing that happened that day. The rest of the day was spent in and out of PC freeplay and console freeplay doing some CoD4. There were hot girls from bumbershoot on the bus ride back that were really nice, but the bus driver was not good and it was really hot and I had only eaten one meal at 2:30 in the afternoon that day so I was getting a little sick on the bus and I was not talking as much with them as I would have liked. Orion did well though, so not all was lost.
9/6:
I slept through my alarm and woke up 5 minutes before I was supposed to leave. Luckily, I've practiced for that situation many times in my past when I get ready very quickly and I left only 5 minutes behind schedule. Steven had the same problem I did too apparently, but I'll still take the blame for it since Steven usually has to take the blame for sleeping in on things. Anyway, we got to PAX pretty late because we had just missed the bus when we got there by 2 minutes and they came every half hour.
When we got to PAX, Eric, Steven, and I went to the Old Republic Demo which was really awesome and we got FREE KotOR for PC! My favorite console game ever for free on PC, very awesome. After that, we went to go do some tabletop games. Orion left for packing and New York. Davis, Steven, Sai, Eric, and I checked out the Starcraft board game, but it quickly became apparent that we were not going to learn the rules even by the time PAX got out, so we set up an epic battle, then returned it and got Munchkins. It was much more fun this time around. I would definitely play it again, but I would not buy it. After that, we lagged around the expo hall until PAX ended. It was a good year this year and I was very happy with the swag I got.
9/7:
Dad and I spent the whole day at Grandpa's house prepping him for the move on the 12th.
9/8 and 9/9:
I spent the whole days just posting pictures and playing Mass Effect or Guild Wars.
9/10:
I called Grandpa to meet him at Costco, but he wanted me to come to the grocery store trip with him for Aljoya. I'm glad I went because I met this cool girl my age(ish) that works for the company and drives the bus. All the residents and staff are getting to know me now, which is a little odd because I don't live there, but it's fine I suppose. I also like hanging out with this girl while we're on outings because she's pretty cool and it gives Grandpa time to do whatever he wants. Anyway, after the grocery store run, we went to Costco for other things we needed and then we (I) worked more on packing his stuff up to go on the 12th. I stayed until around dinnertime.
9/11:
I did pretty much the same thing again. I met my aunt at my Grandpa's house, then we went and searched for him, which didn't take long because he just hadn't left Aljoya yet. After that, we went back to the house and I packed and we waited for him to show up. After that, I kept packing until about 9pm.
9/12:
I got up early and dad and I headed out to Grandpa's house and later my second cousin showed up, then my mom, then my cousin with his horse trailer. We actually got pretty much everything in one trip over to grandpa's new place. (Henceforth, the place referred to as "Grandpa's house" shall now be referred to as "My Aunt's House" and Aljoya is now called "My Grandpa's Place.") We took a while to get everything settled, but it's mostly figured out now. After that, everyone left and mom and dad had a dinner party with his boss, so I stuck around and had dinner with my aunt and grandpa. We picked up Kathryn from a birthday party after that and she came over to see grandpa's new place
9/13:
I went to the Seahawks game with grandpa. It was a good game, though I wish Josh Brown had gotten some field goals because I needed him to for my fantasy team. After that, I worked at grandpa's house and had dinner with him (dad and mom and Kathryn were there too) until about 9:00.
Today:
Well today I had the morning off, but now I have to drop the truck off at the mechanic's, then I'll go over to my aunt's house and I'll organize the house a bit more, but then I have to come back because band starts today. I guess that's it for now, I'll see y'all later, peace out.
