¡SUMMER!

It's summer!  I'm so excited!  I'm really into my book, America's Hidden History.  It's the best history book I've read in a while, but I really haven't read that much at all this year.  Who has time?

I was really disappointed that we weren't supposed to use cameras yesterday - at all, not even during the dance.  (Not that that stopped me.  It's a stupid rule.)  I was very upset with that.

I'm going to go see "Prince Caspian" today at 3:30 at the Carmike.  I've only heard great things about it.  I'm kind of inspired to even reread the series.  They're pretty short books after all, but I want to finish the one I'm reading first.

I think this poster make's him look like an egg-head, but anyway.

AOL Journals was updated again!  I went to choose my mood (you have to choose from a pull-down list), and there was a Butt Ton and the list went on for like a Butt Mile!  Instead of about twelve on the previous list, I can now choose from one hundred!

Shirley: I always say two things.  One is, everything you do reflects on Crane, Poole, and Schmidt.  What is the other?

Denise: You're Schmidt.

Jeffrey: The angry, bald, little husband killed his wife... just like in the movies.

Alan: I'm a man of principle - or not - whatever the situation calls for.

Finals, Finals, Finals

I am happy and sad right now.  And that makes me frustrated.  It's an emotion triangle (like the love triangle)!

I got a 99% on SeƱor Verde's Second Semester Final.  The record was a 98% before me, but I was so painfully close to 100%.  It really irks me.  Unbelievably.   Unfathomably.  (This is where Clink would jump in and lecture on the ¿apparently? ginormous difference between "unbelievably" and "unfathomably")  Totally.  Completely.  Like you have no idea irksome.  Time to let it out:

¡LESBIAN!

Ha, ha... I feel better now!  We'd have no more wars if the world new about the stress-relieving qualities of that word.

Don't ask me what I got on my science final (I'll tell you in a second anyway).  That stunk - an 83%.  Ha, ha... I have no idea how I did that badly.  I was pretty comfortable with it actually.  I'm so confused now.

The Spanish Final (all three lugging parts of it...) have been really easy.  Same for Algebra.  Both of the two parts were pretty simple, I thought.

Well, that's enough about finals.  On Memorial Day I went over to my aunt's house.  We were talking about the end of the school year, and my mom confirmed with me that I had a party on Friday.  Then my cousin (Junior in college) asked if there was going to be a dance, and I said "Of course!"  She said she's going to come crash it, so she can dance with me.  Then I told her to take a number and get in line.  It was pretty funny.  =)

My mom got me this cool book today, and coincidentally it's by my favorite history author, Kenneth C. Davis (Don't Know Much About History).  It's America's Hidden History.  I really like it from the very limited taste of it I've been able to get.

Denny: Hey kid, front and center.  I bet you'd lick my shoes for a murder case, wouldn't you?

Garrett: Oh, I would, sir.

Denny: Becuase I like you, you don't have to lick them.... just dust them with your sleeve.

Break out the tissues.

Yes, you heard it here first.  Once I run out of footnotes during the summer, they'll have to go on hold.  BUT that just means that Shoetopia Citizen will be writing a bunch of amazing ones over the summer to give to me in August, so we won't have to worry about running out next summer!  =)

PPP and the Vortex

A new PPP video!

Here is a montage of pictures from Turtle's party after Swim Chick got a hold of it:

These two are good.  Ha, ha...

After working on the English project at my house a week before the most recent Sunday, we got this picture of Turtles and a musket!

[About Judge Hooper]

Denise: You're sure it was the husband?

Lincoln: I am.  He drives some sort of little, white converible in an attempt, I suppose, to seem interesting, which he's not - not at all.  He's a nasty, little man.  He made her get that restraining order against me.  He made her do it.

Denise: Well, you are a Peeping Tom.

Lincoln: She liked that.  She liked that I looked.  I was a benign peepy.

Pictures!! (A VERY Long, But Awesome, Entry)

I think I'm detecting a pattern as to how frequently I post.  Well, anyway I've got a bunch of stuff to talk about.

Let's see... firstly was Turtle's b-day part-ay on Friday, which was spectacular!  Ha, ha... "Mr. Brickley Hears a Mysterious Ticking Noise" and "Shrooms!"  And RCSackAttack is AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!  Here is his winning shot –

Just look at the neck...... not quite giraffe-like, but he's working it.  =P

BUT now you have the chance to challenge Tyra, Nigel, and Ms. Jay!  Look at the following pics and choose who you think should have been AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!

Norbert's Mother –

 

Turtles -

 

Groblette -

 

SmllSwimChic -

 

Mina -

 

Sissy Girl -

 

Ha, ha... well now that you've been thoroughly entertained, I can talk about this last weekend.  I went backpacking at Chain O' Lakes with my Philmont crew.  The weather was perfect, especially compared to the previous Philmont practice.  Yay!  Good parts end there, ha, ha... =)

The pace was atrocious.  I was dying... I swear.  It took us... get this... six hours to go ten miles!  The average, unencumbered, human, walking speed is about 3 MPH, but we only averaged about 1.7 MPH!  We had heavy backpacks, but still... these guys are supposed to be some of the most accomplished hikers of our council (it's like a district).

It really makes me appreciate how strong my home troop is.  At each of the two high adventure outings I've been, we had a steady 3.25-3.5 MPH pace, and that was at the actual site!  In easy-terrain Indiana, we can go much faster than that!  I wasn't impressed... at all.

No one in the crew will talk to me either.  Look at this conversation (this is an exact quote... I kid you not!):

Me: So... what school do you go to?

Crew Member: Huntington North.

Me: Cool... so what grade are you in?

Crew Member: Sophomore.

End of conversation.

That's not even the worst!  He's one of the more average people when it comes to sociability.  One guy won't even acknowledge my existence!  When I was leaving, I said, "Thanks," and "Good bye," to him, and then he didn't even look up at me from the book he was reading!  It's pretty irritating.  Gar!  Wacco!  Wizard!  Smashing!  Lesbian!

Oh, and here are the photos from the "nerd party" at Ball State last week.  I hadn't been able to get them on here before now:

 

Wow.  That picture makes Groblette look really short.  Ha, ha!  =P

Oh!  I almost forgot!  Congrats to Panda Guy, Shoetopia Citizen, Turtles, Groblette, and me (of course!) on the awesome interpretation of The Red Badge of Courage in English.  That was the most amazing skit ever!

Denny: So whose ass did you have kicked?

Alan: Someone whose ass thoroughly deserved it.

Denny: Good!  I can never understand why people don't use violence more often to solve their problems - works every time!

Brad: Okay.  We're required to turn this over to Ms. Beller and, per the rules of discovery, we'll provide it with the other one hundred thousand pages of documents that pertain to their production request.

Chris Mott: So you're going to bury it.

Brad: No, that would be unethical.  We'll simply comply... fully.

Brad: [to Denise after establishing that she spoke fluent Italian] So let me ask you this: in Italian does the word 'vagina' mean something else?

Melissa: Don't fall for her, Alan.  She's just a guest star.

Whew... I'm pretty sure that's the (with a long "e" sound) longest post ever.  Nifty...  =)

Tae Kwon Do Funny

Firstly you have to see the 'shroom of which I am so proud (sorry for the weird wording; I just couldn't bring myself to end that with a preposition).  It uploaded this time!  Yay!

Oh, and if you didn't catch it - those two halves are from the same 'shroom.  Ha, ha... I just realized, "Maybe someone'll think I got two mushrooms, and this whole time I've been talking about the one... hmmm..."

So... my Tae Kwon Do instructor made a joke (that actually made me laugh) about another martial arts school today, which is a first, because usually he has these stupid puns that he latches onto (yes... like a leech) for months.  Someone complained about being tired while we were sparring, so he turned to them and said, "Tired?  Where do you think you are Hoffman's or the GAY-TA?"  (Instead of ATA)  Ah... good times.  What was even better was when he followed it up by grabbing his belt and saying (in this high-pitched voice), "Let's go spar some boys!"  That part reminded me of Michael Jackson... then the MJ people... then Mr. C's class... then "Let's get some 'shrooms..." by which time everyone had stopped laughing but me.  So anywho...

Alan: You know, we have a saying in Massachusetts, "Maybe someday you'll get horribly sick and die."  Until then.
