CW #3 9/23/09
Hello, Blog! I am writing this blog post straight from Language Arts! We have something called Creative Writing that we do every Wednesday. It's probably my favorite part of Wednesday. I enjoy it when school allows you to be creative, although they don't much. Our teacher only gave us seven minutes to write today, because we're going to have some test. Seven minutes!? That's nothing! I'll probably just be able to finish the opening paragraph. It's about 1:06 in the afternoon, and after this we have Skills Block! It's like Study Hall; you get to try and complete some of your homework and read, etc. It feels very weird to be blogging in a class with no computers. It feels like I'm an author who must record his story, even though he will just have to copy this again later. I feel very... secretive.
9/25/09
What you just read was from Wednesday. I copied it down to this blog last night. I was going to write more, but it was getting late and I had to study for three quizzes the next day, so I just didn't. Although, I've had a pretty fun week, and I'd love to share it with you. Off we go!
Monday: Oh, gosh. Monday seems so far away now. I can hardly remember what I did, if anything. Oh! I remember now! I spent the entire night working on my friend, Wynne's birthday present. I made him letters that make it look like they're from Ron, Hermione, and Hogwarts, all of them coming straight out of Prisoner of Azkaban. I even included the Sneakoscope in Ron's letter, (It's a circular rock with a whole in it, unlike the original glass spinney-thing.)
Tuesday: Tuesday was pretty fun. My dad picks me and my brother up at five, and says were meeting people up at an ice cream place in the mountains. He says they were the "Monkey chow people." I instantly remember who they were. They're this four person family who, for some strange reason, we got to talking about Toy Story 2, and if you don't get the reference, go watch the movie again. We got there early and had our ice creams when we got there. They showed up on time, and were kind of angry that we ate before they got there. I tried a riddle out on them also. "What do you put in a toaster?" And, they both say," Toast". That cracked me up. Later, we were watching the goats. One was a brownish color and one was white. They would headbutt each other and we would yell "Go Whitey!" and such things. Then, we ended up calling them Taylor Swift and Kanye West. "Oh, Taylor! Why are you peeing on the stump!?"
Wednesday: Our dad picks us up at five and we go to one of his friends house and have pizza. I think I had about four or five pieces, I was that hungry. After, my mom picked me up and we went to go see the 70th Anniversary of The Wizard of Oz Special Airing at the local theater. At the beginning, it showed a short documentary type of thing, telling us more about the actors and actresses and such. When the movie came on, it looked so nice and clear. I felt like I was in the 1900's and watching it for the first time. It was magical. I then got home to my dad's at about 9:20, got undressed, had a drink, and went to bed.
Thursday: I remember in Social Studies that we were talking about people in India and how most of them get cremated when they die. She told us to close our eyes and raise our hand if you wanted to be cremated or buried when we died. I wasn't sure, but raised my hand for cremation. When I die, I don't want people digging me up and molesting me or something, you know? Once I got home, I wandered lazily around my room for most the night. I watched the Polar Express because I was in the Christmas mood and I ended up buying a signed copy of the Polar Express book on Ebay. The funny this is that it was signed, "To Ben". I then finished my homework, barely studied for the three quizzes and went to bed.
Friday: I studied for the three quizzes on the bus with my friend Alex, and ended up doing, what I think, perfectly on the Social Studies and Science quizzes. I asked the math teacher and found out I got an 89 on the quiz. That's good enough for me! At lunch, I gave Wynne an early part of his present; a cake that I bought for $1.50, but was still good, he said. I caught popcorn in my mouth, jumped recklessly off of the swings at recess. I am now home, and my dad's going to be here VERY SOON. I need to go! Goodbye!
Money: None?

(Insert Title Here)
"Oh my god!" my blog shouts after being woken up. "Is it just me, or did someone just press 'New Post'?" That's right, blog! I have returned from the mental adventure that I have traveled this past week. Oh, who am I kidding. I've done NOTHING worth mentioning this past week. Well, obviously there has to be SOMETHING, but, you know? I just don't really know anymore. Right now, I feel like I'm turning into my friend, Gabby, who blogged about two times and then just was... gone. I don't want that to happen to me. You don't either, right? I hope not. I hope someone out there enjoys reading this Internet journal, even though it doesn't get updated enough, and the author can sometimes not be heard of for days at a time. Well, I am just mentally tired at the moment, so this blog will come to you in list form. Enjoy?
-Yesterday, after getting dressed and ready before noon on a Saturday, (Wow!), I was off to Big Y to go get something that can be home-made. This is because, randomly, on Friday night I thought to myself, "I want to make something. Something like cookies or brownies or a cake or something. Mostly for the fun of making it, partly for the joy of eating it. Make mental note to try and accomplish this tomorrow." And, for once, I DID accomplish something. I bought regular chocolate-chip cookies and double-chocolate-fudge cookies. I also bought Jello, but never ended up making it. I made all of it by myself, thank you very much. And, they were really good! I still have some of each, and am going to bring some to lunch tomorrow for my friends. Hope they like them!
-Today, I woke up at noon, which is pretty late for me. My mom did a very good job weeding the driveway this morning, I didn't even think it was possible, some of it was so weedy. We later went to Barnes and Noble, my safe haven, and I put Nerdfighter notes in all of John Green's books, something I've been waiting to do for a long time. I also bought The Chronicles of Narnia: Leather-bound Edition, The Road to Oz, Catching Fire; the sequel to The Hunger Games, (which I'm going to start after writing this,) and a book called Twitter Wit, a collection of the funniest tweets. I thought I got a pretty good score this time I went. Alas, books cost money. I have none now. Boo.
-On the way there, we stopped by this tiny side street place that was known to make the BEST jerky. We went up to the door, and it said "Closed" in big, intimidating letters. Although, the owner, who happened to be there, opened the door, let me buy a ten dollar bag of Ragin' Buffalo jerky, and rushed us out. It is really good, and I'm going to bring some to school tomorrow with the cookies for a surprise for my friends. They're going to flip.
-I was planning on inviting my friend, Wynne, over all weekend, but never really got around to it. Sorry, Wynne. I just don't really know why I didn't invite him. I should've. OH! Saturday night, I found out from mugglenet.com that Half-Blood Prince comes out on DVD on December 8th. I know what's going on my Christmas List! Well, it's getting late, so I should start wrapping this up. About two hours ago, I finished Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. It was really good, but it took me two weeks to finish, which is a pretty long time for me. I enjoyed Douglas Adams' witty humor again and loved the interconnectedness of all events in the entire book. Almost everything had to do with everything. I loved that. But, I also can't wait to read "The Hunger Games" now. I've heard nothing but great things about it. So, hooray!
-I have successfully watched the first three months of videos of the fiveaweomegirls. They are really entertaining vloggers and I highly recommend them. They are all so awesome, that it is impossible to pick a favorite. Kristina, Lauren, Kayley, Hayley, and Liane. Thank you for being awesome.
Well, that's all I can think of at the moment! I'll probably remember something that I wanted to include in this, but I'm not remembering that right now. So, goodbye!
Money: $10 (That's all lunch money for this next week.)

Shia's just a kid and "THE LEECHES!"
I DO NOT BLOG ENOUGH, WE ALL KNOW THIS. Moving on...
Friday, I was supposed to go to our town carnival that happens for three days every year. It rained. A lot. Luckily, my best friend, Gavin, called me, and after negotiating with my dad, he let me sleep over his house. This was cool because we haven't hung out in a long time. I just put "Life in Technicolor" by Coldplay on in the background while I'm writing this and it really makes me want to write more and more until I've written a book. That's how much it makes me want to write. Well, back to Friday.
We decide to go out to a local, usually hopping, pizza place, mostly know for it's hot wings. We got a pitcher of orange soda which I have not had in such a long time and almost ate an entire large pizza. Gavin showed me this application on his iTouch called Censored! Where you could touch the screen and it made that censored sound effect that is basically just a Beep, but it was SO MUCH FUN. "And then I told her that she was a mother-Beep-er and that she could go eat Beep." you could hear me saying throughout the whole place while we ate our pizza. After, we went back to Gavin's house and played some video games for awhile. He showed me his new CHINCHILLA, named "Gizmo". We got some chocolate ice cream out, and Gavin poured a bunch of chocolate chips in my bowl, which made it really chewy ice cream. Thanks a lot, Gavin! We got Gavin's Netflix's CD of the month out and watched Eagle Eye. It was okay, there were a lot of things I had problems with, like Shia Labeouf swearing and acting all grown up. To me, he's still that kid from The Even Stevens and Holes. Sorry, Shia. You're still a kid. But besides that, the movie was pretty action-packed and crazy and I had no idea what was going on. It wasn't bad.
After, we played some more video games. Then, I showed Gavin I brought the DVD of "A Series of Unfortunate Events", a movie he had never seen. We watched it and he later told me that it was pretty good. I, however, fell asleep before Aunt Josephine got eaten by the leeches! Ah, poor Aunt Josephine. You will not be forgotten. In the morning, we went to the "best doughnut place around." I got a egg and cheese sandwich. Haha. But, it was GOOD. Like usual. After THAT, we went to Gavin's brother's soccer game where we met another of our good friends, Connor. We walked over to the carnival which was nearby, yet not open yet. We played in the playground like the childish people we are, and saw a helicopter take off many times very close to us. We ran towards it at first and Connor's hat went flying and it felt like a James Bond moment. Like, we NEEDED to get on that helicopter. Obviously, we didn't. After after after, Gavin and I go over to the carnival while Connor watches the soccer game because his mom wouldn't let him go.
Saturday, 1:00. Basically, the first people there. We each get twenty tickets and go on all the rides we wanted to about once, since the prices were outrageous. It was so much fun going on the ride with just Gavin and I and not all the annoying people who think they're clever. Later, more and more people started showing up that we knew, and we started hanging out with a very large group. Cam and Gavin walked to the gas station down the street to buy a Monster, an energy drink. "I though monster's are supposed to eat me." I tell my friend, Brett. "That's not funny" he replies. I end up spending 30 dollars at the carnival. $24 on rides, and $6 on food. I bought an order of fries and throughout the day, three Sprites. Even though the skies were white and it was drizzling every now and then, it was a gloomy mood throughout the carnival. IT WAS FUN NEVERTHELESS.
At 6:00, I disappear from the crowd to go watch the parade with my dad and brother. I get some candy, (Nerds too!), and one of those bead necklaces. We then go to an ice cream place up in the mountains. I now realize that I had ice cream twice in two days. I am sorry. Then, we go to the same pizza place I went to on Friday night and I get the "Popeye" which is chicken tenders with fries on the kids menu. The best. After, we go to the hill behind the carnival and watch the fireworks. It was drizzling, it was cold, and I had the feeling that I should've been at the carnival with my friends, not with my dad and very annoying brother. After that, I had a somewhat gloomy attitude. I went to bed soon after and slept a lot.
You don't care about Sunday, no, you don't, because I still have homework! Goodbye!

With A Little Help From My Friends
I think this is the latest I've decided to blog, at least on a school night. I finished all my homework earlier and started homework that was due Tuesday, so I'm content with what I did. I am currently on my mother's computer again, hopefully for the last time, because the laptop cord is expected to come in tomorrow. Finally! Now, I must tell you about my day, forgetting yesterday entirely.
School happened as usual until, Math class. Oh, boy. Our teacher gives us a 5-minute warm-up sheet, usually consisting of 4 to 9 math problems about things we learned a year or two ago and completely forgot. I have a horrible feeling I am going to fail this class, just because she either doesn't give me enough time to finish all the problems or she gives me to much problems. Either way, I think, with all things considered, that my teacher does not deserve the honor of being respected. Don't think I'm being harsh, because if you had to take her math class, I bet you would also despise her as much as I do. Well, enough angry ranting. There is much happiness to come!
Almost before school ends, I'm packing up all my things to head home. With my backpack on the disgustingly dirty floor, I am shoving things I need for tonight for homework and such. I zip up my backpack and swing my head and body up into the air and into full standing position. I, in fact, never got that far. About half way up, I slam my head into my neighbor's open locker door. Ouch. I bet I'm not the only one who's ever done it, but it hurt. Bad. For the next three minutes, I was half laughing, half holding in my explosive pain.
When school's over, I proudly walk past the bus I usually get on after school like the home-life person I am, because, yes, I am actually doing something after school. Wynne, my friend I mentioned before, and I walk down to the library, not far from our school. While walking, some girl in a car passing us screams something that later sounded like "Save the whales!" or something strange. As the mature person I am, I yell back, "Kill me!", without really thinking. Wynne and I laugh some more. We hang out at the library for like twenty minutes, doing homework and stuff, and then walk back to school to meet with one of our friends. Blonde, and with a perky attitude, walks out Gabby, friends of both Wynne and I. We take another walk to Gabby's house, drop off our backpacks, I eat some crackers and drink some water, and then we cross the street again and go to the corn maze, which must be very new. We each give the guys a fiver, and run in with wild abandon. I race ahead, and drop my money in the process. Picking it up, Gabby runs past me, says "Fail!" and speeds past a turn. Later, I catch up, we all decide not to run anymore, and start splitting up and trying to find a route out. At one point, we lose Wynne and don't find him until near the end. The maze kept reminding me of Goblet of Fire. Ahhh.
After what seems like an hour, we find the exit. It only took us 30 minutes. Too easy, guys. 6 hick-looking farmer type boys and a shirtless dude all sitting up on the Farm Truck ask us questions like "How was it?", "To easy?" and "Want to go grab an apple?" We all snag a bright, red apple, which had that country farm charm and tasted like no apple before. We realize we have an hour until my mom picks us up, so we head back to Gabby's house to chill.
After a while of watching Gabby do homework, eat crackers and drink some more water, and looking at Wynne texting on his brand-spanking-new phone, we all get to talking about the weirdest things such as The Wizard of Oz, short and long relationships, what exactly an eating disorder is, just being silly like the friends we are, and commenting how weird we all are, etc. The whole afternoon was pretty exciting and I still can't get over how good the apple was. I want another now. It feels like Gabby and I are much better friends now that we've hung out more, and Wynne and I seem to have become best friends. It's weird how life's like that. It's also nice, though.
Oh, and Wynne might be on to me about his Surprise Letters. I let something slip about a "surprise on my blog" or something, so he might've seen it. I'm not sure at the moment. Well, it's getting late, and I'm going to go look for an apple! Bye!

A Blog so long, it took two days.
Greetings, all. I am broadcasting to you all live from the library! Oh, the excitement! Well, there is a TON I need to say, and my dad's warning of don't take to long is preventing me of telling you what you NEED to know. So, I will either fix this up quick, or take my time and put it up tomorrow, Wednesday. When you have read this far, you'll know which one I chose.
I am not going to say everything in the order they happened, because I clearly don't feel like it and I feel there are some things more exciting then the other. Firstly, I got a new phone! Squeal! It's the ENV TOUCH! And, yes! It is beautiful! It's got a touch screen, (obviously), and when your scrolling through the comments, it makes a kind of "spin the wheel" type of noise, which, to me, is the best thing you could think of when making a phone. I already got some pictures on it, the quality is great, and I sent some pictures from a website to my phone featuring Doctor Who and Turk and JD. Now, here's the exciting story. My mom and I went to the Verizon store, I had 153 dollars and a broad grin on my face. Turns out, the phone, even with the plan we already acquire, was around $400, despite my research. With a sad face, I turn to leave, wondering what I'll tell my friends. Then, out of no where, my cousin, who is the freakin' manager of the place, comes out and gives us the phone for half off. My mom, oh bless her, offers to pay the 50 dollars I did not acquire. This all happened Friday, right after school.
The following happened about 2 and a half hours ago. I got home from school, cracked open a can of coke, chugged a bit, petted my dog, and realized something. There might be something in the mailbox. I rush outside, crossing the dangerously fast road, rip open the door to the spider infested mailbox and gaze at a beautiful, extravagant white wrapping paper around a biggish box. I take it all off, and rest my eyes on my very own... John Green Bobble Head. Yes, I was one of the lucky hundred or maybe more on the Secret Project mailing list and we got first dibs. It depicts John holding a large black book, standing on a black podium so to speak, with "DFTBA" written on it in large, white lettering. The puff-levels are clearly not very high, although I love it anyways. I am now, in very much need of a Hank Green Bobble Head. Someone! Make it happen!
The following happened Saturday night. I had done basically nothing all day besides mow my mom's boyfriend's lawn and watch a movie or whatever I did. So, I suggested we all go mini-golfing. Sure! I invited my buddy, Wynne, (You'll probably hear my about him some time later,) but, he did not pick up. I learned that he was home at the time, didn't hear me call, and didn't know my number, so he couldn't call back. Excuse me for a second. -.- Okay, back. I then called my trusty friend, Austen, not to be confused with Austin. He did not pick up either. We speed down the street, and we see him sitting on his doorstep. Turns out, he needed some air, and didn't get the call, but ended up joining us. I love how funny life can turn out to be. I, don't really know how this happened, beat everyone, even beating my mom's boyfriend who is really good at regular golf. Out of all that happened, what I told you is all I can bother to remember. But, trust me, a lot of fun and memorable things happened that night. (Not in that way, you perv.)
The following happened Sunday night, (I need to blog more...) Austen and I went over to our friend, Madi's house. She goes to a different school then us now, so we miss her and don't see her much anymore. We hung out, talked, danced to "She Wolf", threw a huge bouncy ball, read some of her super secret diary, watching most of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, ate ribs and corn cake, and a lot more things. Austen, it seems, as always sort of liked Madi, sometimes obviously. She has a boyfriend now, apparently, so he was kind of moody at times. Or maybe, I don't really know. I was only an observer. Austen left early, around 10:15, missing the bonfire. I stayed until 11:00, so I got some bonfire time! Oh, yeah! Madi and I tried to finish Roger Rabbit unsuccessfully. I had the biggest smore I never wanted to have. (The marshmallows appeared to be on steroids.) When I was going to leave, we sat on her doorsteps and talked about how we met, and how we're still friends now. "Well, it's been really nice hanging out and seeing you again. It seems like we missed out on this sort of thing." I said. She sadly nodded, it appeared. We had one goodbye hug, said we'll see each other sometime soon, neither of us sure, and I left. I am going to call this event the Great Bus Buddie Reunion '09.
9/9/09 What you have just read was written yesterday. My dad made me leave the library. If you wondering why I didn't write at home, well, that was because my laptop battery cord stopped working and a new one should come in the mail. So, I decided to finish this post on my mother's computer. Not much left! Hooray!
I am planning to do Lauren Fairweather's YouTube Background Challenge when I come up with an idea and get around to doing it. Another thing on my mind that I'm doing is the Big Secret Surprise Letters Event. I'm going to be sending Harry Potter-themed letters to my friend Wynne, just for funsies. One is going to be from Ron, one from Hermione, and one from Hogwarts. They're all going to be made so they are like directed towards Harry. I'm going to start doing that soon. (I hope Wynne doesn't read this.) Well, that's about it! Goodbye!

I am not going to say everything in the order they happened, because I clearly don't feel like it and I feel there are some things more exciting then the other. Firstly, I got a new phone! Squeal! It's the ENV TOUCH! And, yes! It is beautiful! It's got a touch screen, (obviously), and when your scrolling through the comments, it makes a kind of "spin the wheel" type of noise, which, to me, is the best thing you could think of when making a phone. I already got some pictures on it, the quality is great, and I sent some pictures from a website to my phone featuring Doctor Who and Turk and JD. Now, here's the exciting story. My mom and I went to the Verizon store, I had 153 dollars and a broad grin on my face. Turns out, the phone, even with the plan we already acquire, was around $400, despite my research. With a sad face, I turn to leave, wondering what I'll tell my friends. Then, out of no where, my cousin, who is the freakin' manager of the place, comes out and gives us the phone for half off. My mom, oh bless her, offers to pay the 50 dollars I did not acquire. This all happened Friday, right after school.
The following happened about 2 and a half hours ago. I got home from school, cracked open a can of coke, chugged a bit, petted my dog, and realized something. There might be something in the mailbox. I rush outside, crossing the dangerously fast road, rip open the door to the spider infested mailbox and gaze at a beautiful, extravagant white wrapping paper around a biggish box. I take it all off, and rest my eyes on my very own... John Green Bobble Head. Yes, I was one of the lucky hundred or maybe more on the Secret Project mailing list and we got first dibs. It depicts John holding a large black book, standing on a black podium so to speak, with "DFTBA" written on it in large, white lettering. The puff-levels are clearly not very high, although I love it anyways. I am now, in very much need of a Hank Green Bobble Head. Someone! Make it happen!
