Quote of the week/ moment/ whatever!!: "Shut up, make me noodles" -Steven obsession of the Moment: |
Tuesday, January 13th(Howard gets a LJ day) So some of you may be wondering... Why Howard no update this huh? Well, because I'm both lazy and busy at the same time, which leaves very little time for a website that only 3 people read. Thats right, I'm talking to you. If I type, I want more people to read it... for some unknown reason. Hence, I got me one of these. Boo ya grampa. Thats called a Live Journal. Like, you type things, and then put it there. Kinda like this site. But its not this site, its another site. "But Howard, what will become of this pos?" Its going to stay around more. I dont know why yet, but I'll figure it out. I like having my own site, its just nobody ever goes to it, and I think more people will go to the LJ. They will be sister sites. They'll play off of one another... maybe not. Maybe I'll end up forgetting about this one. But either way, you guys will be happy, right? Right?
Friday, November 7th(Howard had to wake up early day) I'd be so broke up if we broke up, but this burger's bigger than our relationship. I dont really have anything to say... I havent seen the matrix yet, and i dont know when I will. Ive been pretty busy late. Midterms are over woo! I did good on my Anth one. I get to go home today, which is another reason for woo-ing. I just realized I missed Halloween on here... I didnt change the colors or anything. oh well. So for halloween, there was a hall decorating contest held through the dorms. We did everything at the last minute, I guess because we're all lazy. But we did it... At first we were going to do The Ring as a theme, but we changed it to an insane asylum (since the theme of our hall was already the wizard of oz, it was an "Oz"ylum). We had a ton of fun... I stood in one spot and kept repeating "Is it safe?" Heres a calendar of events coming up:
In other news, I bought hot chocolate. Im just waiting for the right time to unleash its choclaty goodness. Dont be suprised if I start a whole video game discussion soon. It wont be much of a dicussion, though... im the only one writing here. Sunday, October 26th(Fire day) Hey guys. Everytime I try to write this I get destracted and I dont finish.... Sorry for the lack of updates this past month, I've been kinda busy. Now, saying this, Im still not promising to update a bunch. Or ever. No I'm kidding, I'll update... or will I? So last Thursday, I went to Knotts Scary Farm with all of the people in the dorm. It was alright, but it wasnt Six Flags... there was no Bort. First of all, they only have like 4 things you can really call "rides." and none of them are too great anyways. Supreme Scream was cool, so was that other new one, but both of them last like 2 seconds, but you have to wait in line for an hour and a half. Whatever. And the zombies... oh the zombies. They sucked. They had the traditional slide-in-front-of-people-bies, and the zombies that hit things, and the zombies that follow you. They all just looked crappy, and they weren't scary. So yeah. I got to play ddr, which was cool, too. Thats about it. So this weekend I saw Kill Bill for the second time. For those who didn't know, Kill Bill is the greatest movie ever. Some people complain that theres too much blood, but thats the point! Alex said that Tarentino takes it to the point where its not gross and more humorous, and I thought that was correct. Good job Alex, you get two bonus points. so Im not going to say anything else about the movie, just go see it, then see it again. Then think about going to see it a third time, but at the last moment decide that you dont have that kind of money. Also, I spent the weekend talking to Michie, which was great. It was just like old times, and I really miss doing that with her. Thats about all I did.... there was landry, there was a bit of homework. yup, thats it. So california is on fire, and it sucks. It's really scary and junk, and it smells like fire everywhere, especially here in Riverside. A bunch of us are hoping that classes are cancled for tomorrow, because we dont want to go outside. In other class-related news, I wrote the first draft to a story Im working on, and I gotta have the second draft done by tomorrow. I should get going on that. I'll post it here whenever Im done with it, so look out for that. And keep in mind that Sean(the main character) is NOT me... because he isn't. Alright, bye!
Monday, September 29th(one of the many school days) Hey guys whats up? How are you doing? Im doing alright. I keep going between good and bad, so Im like in a good mood now. Im just waiting for my class to start... on Mondays and wednesdays, my first class isnt until 3:10, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays its not until 12:40... on Fridays, I have a class at 8:10... but thats okay. I dont really know what to type.. I've missed so much stuff and I dont feel like going back through it all, so here's some highlights: Thrice played last friday, and I came in second place in a DDR contest. My classes are kind of cool, but I spent all day yesterday doing homework. I've spent more than $200 on text books and junk. I am now referd to as Breakfast Man. The Tape Squad won the costume contest. We did volunteer work on Saturday at this place for homeless families. The hall is a ton of fun sometimes and other times kind of sad. Theres a bunch of reading for my classes and it sucks.... I think thats about it. Now, heres a bullet list of things I like about college:
Thats about it. Im gonna go now.. I have an hour and 30 minutes before class still.. oh well, bye bye Saturday, September 20th(Move-In Day!) Im not going to give you all of the details that happend today, but I moved in. And sweet cool yeah! I dont really know what else to type. My roommates are cool. One of them, Doug, is alseep right now.. or at least trying to sleep. The other one, Andrew, and I are chatting through aim, even though were 2 feet(or less) away. Now thats what I call insane, folks. Im pretty tired tonight... my sister suprised me by coming back up here like 2 hours ago with her boyfriend, and we went to the arcade for a while which was cool. Im distracted by my roommates antics, so I dont really know what else to type. My sister is coming back tomorrow morning and were going out to breakfast. The new site isnt done yet, as Alex just reminded me... I dont know when its going to be done, but you could bet your bottom dollar that it will be eventualy. Okay I'm falling asleep. Good night. Tuesday, September 16th(Hospital Day!) Lets see... three things this time? That sounds about right. Im probably wrong, though.... So today! Today, I went to Kaiser to get some shots I need for school. Fun! It actually took my mind off of alot of things. And Shots are fun! I dont know what everyone complains about... That comic thing I mentioned before? Im done with that idea.. I have no motivation to do it anymore. Oh well... but there is some creative stuff going on in my world. Production on the Catcher crew/L.A.'s Coolest Kid crew colabo starts now! Im writing the script and co-directing with the great Alecks, who will also star in the movie. My buddy Levon will be supplying the camera equpment and some other features in the movie, and every Tuesday Boy avaliable will be in the movie in one way or another. So w00t! More details on that after I actually start writing the script. Speaking of creativity, I'm in kind of a creative mood right now(and I have nobody to talk to), so Im about to start work on that "change" to the site I've been talking about for a while. Go me! You know, If I had a LJ, alot more people would read this site. Anyways, Saturday it should be done if I start working on it now. Maybe a little later than Saturday. We'll see. I mention Saturday, because as most of you know, that is the day I leave for UC Riverside. Its exciting and scary at the same time. It makes me both happy and ultra depressed. Im jumping into it face first, though, and sucking up all of my doubt. Im going to be happy there, and nobody is going to stop me from doing so. Not even me. I'm trying to stay positive as best as I can... just ask Michie.. she's the one I've been talking to whenever I'm on the verge of crying. Thanks Michie, and I love you. Everythings going to be peachy keen =). 4 more days. There might be something going on for me on Thursday, but I havent talked to Shant since Sunday, so I have no idea whats up. So this past Sunday, my good friend David, who is the ONLY person I still keep in contact with from elementary school, went to Six Flags... as our almost annual yearly meeting. So he moved out here to go to CSUN, which is insane because it's right down the street and he didnt know he was living so close to me now. Anyways, we went to Six Flags, and this was the first time since that one time my brother and I went for 2 hours by ourselves that it was just me and one other person. And when you go with one other person, you have alot more freedom, let me tell you that. Theres alot less bickering, and alot more time for doing whatever you want. We went on X first, which was a mistake because the line ended up being 2 hours long.. But after that, we never waited more than 15 minutes for anything, which is great. We ended up leaving at like 6, then we went to Carls Jr. and got some grub. My ankles still hurt, and my shoes still stink from then... My sister didnt want me to go, because she wanted to come out and spend time with me... but I had to. Im sorry Sherice =(. She's buying me Monopoly as a going away gift, and hopefully I'll meet some people out there who actually like the game. Keep smiling Howard! Gotta be happy! happy happy happy!!! Okay, I'm going to work on the site now, bye bye Wednesday, September 10th(um... day) Okay, two things. No, three things. Disneyland, comic, and music. First of all... all of you know how much I like disney in general. So much that it pisses some people off. Anyways, if you dont know what happend.. a few days ago, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, my old favorite ride, had an accident. Apparently, the front of the "train;" the engine part that doesnt really do anything, detached from one train and rammed into the back of the one in front of it. Like 20 people were injured, and one person died. You can read more about it here. So tonight, I read this, and it angers me because it seems the spirit of Disney only lays in it fans, and not in the rest of the company itself. Disney has been on a downward spiral for a few years now... examples include the new tomorrowland, the straight to video sequels, Atlantis... yeah. It's just been getting crappier and crappier. So why do I like Disney and Disneyland so much? Because I have such good memories from the company and the park. I remember taking family trips to disneyland and having a blast with everyone. I remember goint out with my aunt and cousins to see The Lion King. I remember watching Aladin at my little cousin's birthday party. It pisses me off that they could let a disaster like this happen. It really makes me want to do something about it. If I was head of Disney, I would never let anything bad happy to any of the guests in my theme park. So anyways.. I desided that I am going to make that comic I was talking about.. but I dont know what its going to be like yet. Im going to start writing it soon, I promise. And I'll be inlisting the help of Michie, and whoever I can find that wouldn't mind coloring it for me. Thats all the info you'll get out of me about it tonight. I'm going to put at least 78% of all of my effort points I've collected over the years into it. In other news, over the weekend I got the newest White Stripes cd Elephant. And let me tell you, I love it. It's the perfect balance of rocking AND rolling. And yeah, it's just great. In other music news, I burned both of the mc chris cds onto one cd. Now I finally have full versions of both "Lifes a Bitch and I'm her Pimp" and "Knowing is half the hassle." And both cds are great, too. I suggest you download any mc chris song you can get. He encourages it, too! So go ahead! Download! Thats about it. More later down the line. 9 more days until I leave. Bye. Thursday, September 4th(..nothing-really-happend-day) Lets talk about comics for a minute. So I've been in kind of a creative mood lately, and for some reason, I've always thought I should do comics. I really dont know why comics came to mind. I think I'm a better writer than I am an artist, but either way, I'm not ultra good in either... so why comics? I picked up my copy of Johnny the Homocidal Maniac today (like an hour ago, actually) just because I missed it. What I liked about JtHM was basically the story. Its depressing, funny, disturbing, and thought provoking, all at the same time. I guess all I really want to do is tell a story.. and I have stories, I just dont know how to put them down, or if I should... if people will read them and get mad at me for various reasons... or if I even have a worthwhile message at all. Ive been meaning to just write something lately, but I havent gotten around to it... even if it's just a few ideas, a short story, a script. I want to create! I have the tools now, I think. All I'm missing is my scanner, which is right in front of me, inoperable. Over the weekend I downloaded an illigal copy of Photoshop (woo!), so I can color and crop and edit nicely.. that is, after I get better with it. I guess the only thing stopping me from drawing is me not wanting to offend anyone. I know if I get into something, I'm going to take the depressing route(even though I'm relativly happy right now.. it's hard to tell with me), and alot of people dont want to see that. Im Howard.. Im not really known as the depressing guy. Theres always the fantasy route, but thats not to say I wont comment on things there, either. I just need characters and a story. I cant draw good, remember? Thats my main disadvantage right now. I guess I can change that, right? I'll try guys. I just need a good idea, thats all. I'm working on it. Then you guys might finally get some quality stuff instead of crap like before. While I'm talking about being creative, I should mention my newfound obsession with directing film. I know I only did it once, and even then it was like a half job(the whole group was pretty much the director), but I'm really proud of that movie. All summer I've wanted to do something else, but I never got the chance to... I was too lazy to write a script (again, I just need a good idea and I'll write it), and nobody seemed too into the idea... I dont have a camera, so I would have to rely on someone else's... and I dont have editing software, so I need Yevison. Thats right Yev(like he reads this..), I'm using you. I've had a few ideas for some music videos. Julia had that idea about the making of Joshapalooza, but I dont think that would work. There was Back to the Catcher in the Future 4: Ryes of the Machines, but no script. Oh well. I hope someone in Riverside will be more willing to do a movie. It'll be fun! Conan just started, so I guess I should finish up and go watch. There was something else I know I wanted to mention, but I forgot what it was. Oh well. And since I'm pretty bored, I guess I'll upload the new logo I made, too. You know, this site is going to change in a matter of weeks, right? As soon as I'm in Riverside.. everything is going to be different. Or at least I hope it will be. I'm still looking for a new name. So far all I have is Devo's "Howard's Haunted Muffin Factory," but I'm looking for something with more of a "Howard goes to college" theme. And I'm going to change the colors and everything, and who knows? Maybe a mascot or something. Mascots can be fun! I'll take any suggestions here. Good night. P.S, Im taking down the comic section. Tuesday, September 2nd("back to school" Day) Hello. Im still out of school. And its weird because almost everyone I know is either already in school, started today, or starts tomorrow(you know who you are). So Im stuck here(and stephanie is stuck across the street), with nobody to talk to... except for michie, cause shes out of school at around the time I wake up in the morning. Its pretty strange not getting up and going to school. And its kinda going to continue in college, because except for fridays, I dont have a class until almost 1. But yeah, it feels like everything is changing around me.. and pretty soon I'll be chaning with it. Its like the world is getting back to normal, but my life isnt. Very odd guys. Seriously. Theres no more Del... thats where I should be right now. But Im not. Thats about it. Okay guys... this whole update is just an excuse for me to post this picture. That is all.  You're a CASUAL AIM-ER! Congrats, you're normal...or you're pretending to be. What kind of AIM-er are you? brought to you by Quizilla So I havent updated in almost 3 weeks now... I dont really have much to say, Im just telling y'all that Im still alive. Hey, Im alive. So you guys missed 2 Del's, Leni's thing, and Catcher in the Rye. I think thats about it. I'll work my way backwards. So all Vacation, I've been talking to Michie more and more. We're getting more and more attached to eachother, and that was pretty much tested last week when she went on vacation for 5 days. We both missed eachother alot, but we made it =). She thinks that our different habbits are whats going to ruin us, but I have to dissagree. Like me not liking Eggs is going to ruin us. After last week's Del, we(Shant, Alex, Josh, Jamison, Jeff and I) went to Alex's house to watch "Catcher in the Rye," A movie Josh and Alex made back when they were in 12th grade (along with a shorter movie "On the Beach," which they made in 11th grade). The movies were great, and although I knew alot of the jokes(They always talk about it... I was like the only person in the world who hasn't seen the movie), there were alot I didnt know, and I just loved the movies overall. Now, Im like obsessed even more with making a movie with these guys before I go to college. Speaking of college... while I have a little over a month before I go(expect some changes to the site.. I'll explain later), Leni and Scott are already there. Leni, who is all the way in Hawaii, had a going away party at The Macaroni Grill and Skateland last friday. Apparently, the food wasnt that good(I didnt eat it, I dont know...), and on top of that, everyone who went pretty much changed their mind about skating after we got to the place. We just waited out there for like 2 hours before the few people that did want to skate went in. It pretty much sucked for Leni, and Im sorry because it was supposed to be her thing, you know? So Im sorry it turned out the way it did Leni. And I miss you already! Have fun in paradice Leni =). I havent had one of these in a while... Picture(S) of the day!
 and  You get two this week because they're pretty much the same picture. Its weird how I have two of Lucas looking at his camera, isnt it? Well, bye! Tuesday, August 5th(Chuck E Cheese day) Okay, I have three things this update. The first of which is this:
The second is this: Okay, so today was Tanya's birthday, and she wanted to go out. We thought, what better place to go out than to Chuck E Cheese?! So we met at Del, watched some things on Devo's Powerbook, then hopped in the cars(about 4 of them) and drove to Chuck's place. He was waiting for us outside (at least in my version of the story)! Fast foward a bit and we're sitting down eating pizza and junk. Julia is ready to kill herself for some unknown reason. She has this picture of little kids that isnt nessisarily true. So, as a form of rebellion, I guess, she rounds up an army of teens(consisting souly of Jeff) and hops on stage with Munch's Make Believe Band, does a little jig, then goes behind the curtain, where Chuck is resting. Then, she jumps off stage, and heads with her army to the door of secrets and imagination, and when she returns from said door, the music videos begin, and Chuck starts do a summertime rap (better than Nelly, I might add). When Munch's Make Believe Band's set is over, we clap, then head for the arcade. In the arcade, theres this game called "Magical Truck Adventure" where you and a pal are on a train track on one of those little pump car thingies, you know? Anyways, fun times were had on that game, let me tell you... And there was this soccer game that a few people (Josh, Cory, Shant); that was action packed. Chuck was playing Artic Thunder with some kid, then Stepahnie took a picture with him, taking his attention away from the game... how much more evil can a woman get? I think I covered all the bases on this. I didnt mention the tickets.. there were tickets won. not too many, though. Jeff got a fake whoopie cushion, and step got a temp tatoo. Thats about it. Afterwards, Josh took me home, which was fun. Josh and I dont spend enough quality time together. Number three is this: Ive been thinking about writing this for a while, but I never got around to it... until now! Here's the deal: I've learned something from mostly all of my friends. All of you are different and thats what I like about you guys. If you arent really my friend, you dont have to pay attention to this part. Sorry. From Shant, I have learned to keep a sense of humor no matter what the situation. He tought me that its important to laugh at everything, even yourself. From Michie, I've learned patience and love. From Leni, I've learned, again, to look on the brighter side of things. I know you wont agree with this Leni, but you're always cheery and energetic, and that makes me smile. Michelle has taught me to open up more, and to not be so quiet. Along the same lines is Julia, who has taught me to stick up for myself, and Scott and Marion, who have taught me to not care about what others think. Monica has taught alot about people in general through our conversations. Yev has taught me about video editing, and bad jokes, and Stephanie has taught me about Monopoly. Stacy has taught me about being a rebel... kinda, and Logan has taught me about insparation. I think thats all. If not, I'll do more later on. Everyone is waiting for me to finish updating... Well, there you go. Wednesday, July 23th(the day before Riverside orientation!) So what'd you guys miss? There was the court thingie, which Shant talked about on his site (if you read mine, I expect you to read his too... no I dont.). So basically, we came in, they gave us a number, then called all the minors in the room out by the 10s... so everyone who had 10-20 would go, and so on. So you go, and then talk to the clerk person, and they they send you back to the waiting room, then an officer comes in and calls you in, then you wait in a hallway, and the another officer(or the same one, it doesnt matter) calls you in to talk to the judge... I didnt get to go in with the rest of the people in the group to talk to the judge, oh well... anyways, we had to pay $250, and we have until sept 17th to do that... yeah. Also, there was the "sleepover" that didnt work, which I forgot to mention on this site. So it was going to be Scott, Marion, Monica and I, and we were gonna play some board games, and video games, and watch some movies and junk like that (we're geeks, what do you expect?). So then Monica's dad said she couldn't come because sleeping at a guys house isn't right or something. Then Scott couldn't go because he had to get new glasses in the morning or something. So it was just Marion and I... we got Stephanie to come over, and we just played monopoly for like an hour. so then the next day(yesterday), Scott comes over at like 2 something, and we play some stuff, then go with Stephanie to Claim Jumper...Scott and Steph ate, Marion and I didnt. Marion because hes poor, and me because I wasnt hungry(and nothing looked good). Then we came back to Steph's house and watched this movie called National Lampoon's Animal House... it was an okay movie, but when she said it was raunchy, I was expecting more than just a few topless girls. The thing about it was it didnt really have a plot at all. It was just this frat house doing typical frat house stuff and getting in troble for it. Then they get mad after they get kicked out, like they didnt deserve it. Also, they didnt really introduce the characters. They just sort of showed up. Anyways, enough about that movie! So Tomorrow is the Riverside Orientation, which I dont really want to go to. Im pretty scared, actually. It starts at 7 am, which means we have to leave really early in the morning, which is bad... And I dont know whats going to happen with food or anything, and I have to stay there until 5 pm friday before coming back here. Im kind of worried. And by the time I get back, Michie would have gone on vacation for a week, so today might be the last time I talk to her for a week if her cell phone isnt working where shes going... So wish me luck everyone. I hope I meet some new people tomorrow, too. That might be cool. Im going to wear my Mario shirt. Well my eyes really hurt right now so Im going to go to my room and lay down or something. bye! Wednesday, July 16th(the day before court day!) I love Pirates. The movie was great, and I definatly wouldn't mind seeing it again. Johnny Depp's character (Jack Sparrow) is really one of my favorate characters in any movie now. Theres something about him that I really liked. So the story goes... Theres these Pirates, right? They live in the Carabean. And theres this curse thats on them, that makes them pretty much not alive and not dead. They cant feel anything, but they're still alive. When in the moonlight, you can see what they really are, which is walking skeletons, pretty much. And the name of the ship is the Black Pearl. And that is the title of the movie, ladies and gentlemen. so they kidnap this girl, and this one guy likes her, so he wants Jack to help get her back. Thats the basic plot. And throughout the movie, you learn more and more about Jack, and why he is the way he is. Its really funny, as well. And, to top it all off, theres a few references to the ride in the movie. For instantce, theres one scene where there are prisoners in a jail cell calling to a dog holding the key in his mouth, just like the motha freakin' ride! So the movie gets two thumbs up from me. And for the record, thats two in a row from Disney(Nemo being the first). But as I told Shant, Freaky Friday may end their winning streak... who knows. So yesterday's Del was really fun for some odd reason. Josh, Alex, and Lucas didnt really hang out with shant and I this time, and instead our main group was Shant, Tanya, Jeff and I, which seems kind of weird. Something else that was odd was that I was actually funny! I got big laughs out of almost everyone around... I bought a new Clerks Inaction figure, bringing my total to 2. There was one point yesterday when I said something, and then for no reason slammed down Randal for no reason. It was kind of funny. And then there was the Vanessa Carlton impression... Good times... Im looking foward to next week, when I'll hopefully have my Silent Bob inaction figure. Snoogins. Well thats it for tonight... oh wait! Its time for the Picture of the week! 
Here Ellen is asleep on my couch while we were filming the very infamous movie for Gov Class. Theres Hakim, in the background! Good night! Thursday, July 10th(um... buh day.) I think this is the first time I've ever updated at around noon... So the song of the moment is relevant because I want to see Pirates of the Carrabean so badly right now. I have this obsession with pirates for some reason... Theres also some Pirate stuff I have planned for the future. You'll see.. maybe. So yeah.. after vbs ended, I havent really been doing much. Last sunday, I went to six flags with my sister, my brother and my cousin. This trip was alright... better than a few other trips Ive been on. My sister was nice and not complaning about anything, which rocked, because I hate that. My brother was like he always is, and Kiah(my cousin) was fun to be around(which suprised me). The only problem was everyone was quiet, and I was the most talkative(and you know theres a problem when Im the one talking the most). I want to go with more exciting people, with more energy and stamina. Oh! I just found out... Ive seen them before but I never paid attention to it. They have foot massage thingies in the freakin' park! It rocks... and its only a quater. It feels good, too. Its my new tradition. That and screaming my rock and roll "yeah!" on every ride. The "yeah!" rocks so much.... So yeah... Im kind of out of stuff to say. This week has been laied back. Not much to do but wait to go clean at 5 or 6 pm. Its been pretty hot, but right now its a cool breeze and it feels really good. Last Friday was Julia's party, which you can read about on Shant's Site. He pretty much felt the same way about the party as I did. And it was almost a week ago, so its already out of my memory, so Im not going to talk about it here. I just made plans to go see LXG with Stephanie over the weekend, so I'll have two movie reviews up for the next update. Cool? Cool. I almost forgot. Im obsessing over this GBA game called Advanced Wars 2. Shant said I should get it, so I went out and bought it, and now I'm in love with it. I recommend it to everyone. The great thing about it's a strategy game, which means you have to think about your every move. Sometimes it takes a few tries to beat a mission, but whenever you do, it feels so great. Plus each person you control is different, so you have to know who the right person for each job is. I dont know why, but I love this game so much. I guess its because its the first game I've played in a while where I have to think. Not that after this game Im going to actually think in everyday life... Just until I beat this game. So yeah, go buy it. word. Here, I almost forgot... It's your Picture of the Moment!  I think that about wraps up this edition of Seafood Cake. Tune in next time when my guests will be Meg White, and that guy from Blur. Monday, June 30th(Survey Day) Wednesday, June 25th(Pig Day) PIGS If anyone wants to help with the yearbook thing, I have a ton of pictures I need to shrink to a certain size so I can actually put them on the site. I wanted to do it this weekend, but I was kind of busy, as I am all of this week. Curse that VBS and those Pigs!!!!! I just got a brilliant idea... a pictureo f hte day! heres todays:  Here's Yevison with a mullet. And Jeff behind him looking fiendishly evil. muahahaha. Wednesday, June 18th(...) It's over, guys. It's finally over. This is what we all dreamed about since we started 9th grade, right? The day we would leave high school to go onto bigger and better things. But there's a strange feeling attached to all of this. At least for me, there is. I'm really scared. I'm scared about everything. Im scared about whats going to happen... tomorrow, and durring the summer.. and next semester, and throughout the rest of my life. This is another one of those big turning points I've heard so much about. Everything is going to be different and I dont know if Im ready for the change. But then again, thats not what life is about. Life doesn't ask if you've got your seatbelt on... if your ready to go. Life just happens, and you have to be ready to take whatever is thrown at you. If you aren't ready, you're left behind to die. How do you know you're ready? Well, how good is your humor? Being able to laugh at everything is a big part of being ready. It takes alot of that fear away. Looking on the brighter side of things will help tremendously. What Im saying is that life doesn't wait for you when it changes... you just have to be able to adapt quickly. I think high school has been pretty good to me. I've had some ups and downs, but all of that is behind me. I am happy. I got what I wanted out of the whole experience... Love, friendship, and a tiny bit of learnedness. I am leaving with no loose strings (well, a few, but I'll resolve those over summer), and I know that everyone will keep in contact with me. Everyone that matters, at least. I finally let my creativity out with our group project for Government class that we filmed on location at stephanie's. I wrote the script and helped Yev to edit, but Im a horrible actor. Its all behind the scenes work for me from now on. Anyways, the movie came out great, and everyone who's seen it liked it. Except for scott, who was in the movie.. he said it was boring. I say it was perfect for its length. Thanks for the good reviews, everyone! The group (Kosar, Stephanie, Ellen, Scott, Hakim, and I) really appriciates it. Thanks everyone. Thanks for everything. This being the last update of the school year, it's sad. It was fun while it lasted, everyone. Im really going to miss you all. Michelle, For being such a great friend, especially when I had none. You helped to change the way I see the world, Michelle, thank you so much. Shant, for the support, and music, and everything. Thanks for singing and for cheering me up. Scott, for being silly when I need you to. Marion(although you'll be at my house all summer), for giving me a friend to play with once again. Monica, for caring, and understanding. Amy, for all of the love. Sean and Elizabeth, for being such a cute couple! Jeehee, for just being you. Natasha, again, for just being you. Im going to miss you alot. Lucas, For being such a great, all around guy. Tim, for being funny. Serena, for talking to me in Shakespeare. Sabrina, for being so ammused by my laugh. Kattie and Javanah, because you're whole group is a great example of what friendship is. Stephanie, for tolorating living across the street from me. Thank you for everything Steph. Marissa, for singing Michale Jackson songs with me when nobody else would, and not being afraid to look stupid. Kosar, for the support, and the humor. Devo, for the Devo, and the humor. Julia, for freakin' everything. You know what Im talking about. Yev, Thanks for the editing. And for being so funny. And for the Oingo. Leni, for the late night chats, the support, the motivation. Hakim, for the batches and the philisophical chats. Ive known you for a while, Hakim, thanks for everything. Jeff, thanks for being so cool. You started to sing towards the end, too. Sweet. You were one of the Aquabat elite at the school. Danielle, for the rides to 6th period last semester, and for being such a great person to talk to. The Electra Complex, for the great music they provide my ears with. Josh Arias, for being such a good person. You always cheer me up. Alex Garcia for being so comedic, and for the great music. Stephanie Garcia, for the Elain dance. Again, thank you everyone, even if I didn't mention you here. I love you all! Im not saying bye, because I know this isn't the end. Expect an update pretty soon over the weekend or something... with a ton of pictures. It will be my online yearbook. Its coming soon, guys. Also, I'll update about Grad Night, and Graduation. And me sleeping all day Friday. Monday, June 9th(the day the research paper is due) I made it!(3:28 am) Sunday, June 8th(A day befor the research paper is due) This isn't a real update. Ugh, Im stressed. Im still alive, but Im stressed. I might be going to Mr. Leights class in a few hours to get his help with my homework.. so much to do, so little time. Yeah, I'm still alive, kinda Frappuccinos rock... I love Vanilla Did I mention I'm alive? If anyone wants to read what I have so far, and give me any insite before tonight at 10, Go For It. I'll be doing this all day. Give me a call if you have my number, or IM Me(haunter259), I'll be here.. maybe   
Monday, May 19th(Two days after police day) Alot of stuff has happend since the last update... and of course, I'm only going to tell you like half of it. Okay, so I'm kinda into this whole Yahoo! Pool thingie... This is how into it you can get... Here is the shot, and Here is the text. This is pretty exciting game, guys. So Saturday... what a great day. It started out like this: I got up and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist was on. This, my friends, is one of the greatest movies ever made. The whole smoke bomb scene, and all the old movie stuff.. it all rocks! The only negative is the end.. with the pyramids and the toung and all... oh well. The rest of the movie is great. Everyone should see it. Like, now. So after that I got my Tux fitted.. yeah. Fast foward a few hours.. I was waiting for Julia to call me, because we was supposed to go to see The Matrix Reloaded that morning. It turns out she got home really early in the morning, so she slept until like 1 in the afternoon. So no matrix for Howard. At around... 3 ish? 4 ish? Julia picked me up and we went to her house. She had to get her scuba equipment, so we raced across town to get to her scuba place. Then we went and looked at her dress, and then we raced back home so we wouldnt be late for The Show. The Electra Complex. Just because we tried to not be late didnt mean we weren't late, however. We had to pick up Jeff and Chase, along with Stephanie. On the way to Jeff's house, Kenny called and asked if he could get a ride. I didn't mention that Yev was in the car, did I? So by my count, thats 7 people, including me. 7 people in Julia's car. It ended up like this: Julia got driver, Jeff got shotgun. I sat window back, Yev and Chase in the middle, Kenny other window. Steph was on top of us four. We had to drive all the way from Van Nuys to Hollywood, in like 20 minutes. We listend to my cd on the way there, which I dont think was too well recieved. Oh well, I like that ish. The whole way there, we were laughing, basically. Kenny is one funny guy. I was worried for my life, actually. Julia was laughing too hard to be driving... So we got to Hollywood just in time to catch the last 4 songs Electra played. So we only missed one, get it? In short, they were great. Much better than the crappy Cold Tuesday that played after. The Tuesday Boys want to sue them for using Tuesday in their name, and sounding so crappy. What was funny was the singer saying he was going to "slow it down," when he already has the most boring singing voice in the world. After Cold Tuesday, we all got back in the car(according to Kenny, Yev farted on his leg. Julia was almost crying, which was really freakin' scary) and headed for Dennys on Devonshire and Balboa, which is litteraly two feet from my house. If I turned around, I'd be in my backyard. There was about 30 of us waiting to be seated. That was freakin' insane. So when we finally got inside, it was crappy, so Alex, Shant, Steph, Yev, and I went outside to go to AMPM to buy some real food. Shant and I split a 2 lt. Mountain Dew Livewire, which rocks. We headed back to the Denny's parking lot to eat. Eventually, Sabrina, Torrey, Tanya, and this other guy I dont know came outside to join us. This is where things got really intersting.We started playing hakie-sack. Its become a kind of new pasttime at school with Shant and posse. So we was hackin' and, dum dum dumm, the police came. Seeing how it was like 10:30, we were breaking the law, apparently. The police being there didn't break our fun, though. We wouldn't be called tuesday boys if they did. After we got all of the serious stuff out of the way (organizing us into groups of those over 18, those under 18 with IDs, and those under 18 without IDs(this was just Steph and I)), and one of the officers started writing citiations, we got back to laughing. Alex kept forgetting he wasnt in trouble because hes over 18, and the rest of us just hung out until it was time to write our citations. Sabrina and Tanya even took a picture with the nice police officer(I heard the other one was a jerk, but I didnt talk to him). Theres Other Pictures, too. I like that last one. She looks so proud. I dont know what else there is to say about that night, other than we made the best out of a bad situation. Which is a good thing if you didnt know. Im hoping you knew. Good night everybody! Saturday, May 10th(Riverside Day) So theres three things happening durring this update: My Riverside Trip, My Pool Game Last Night, and The Future of This Site. Just so you know... It's a long update, so you might want to go the bathroom first.. maybe make yourself some Cocoa or something. It's strawberry season, you might enjoy some of those while reading my site. So today, I wake up to my mom saying "lets go to Riverside!" and Im like "w00t! lets go!" Apparently, my sister called and she wanted to go too, which is cool because I never hang out with her anymore. So we drove to my Grandmama's house to pick her up... and... dum dum dummm.. my old best friend's uncle pulls up (hes a cool guy and a family friend), so my parents are talking to him for a while. While talking to him, we found out that Chris(my old best friend) was getting married!!! So we drove over to his house and he was sitting outside smoking (a cigarette, of course) with some of his friends who I've never seen before. We wished him good luck and all that stuff, and told him we were worried about him(hes in the air force, and we thought they might have sent him to Iraq, but they didnt... Which sucks for him because he wanted to go). That was the Chris story. So we drove out to Riverside(while in the car, I got my sister to like mc chris!), and I realized that I recognized the path. Theres this famous arcade thats like halfway between there and here that Ive been to before.. anyways, it took like an hour and 20 minutes to get there and stuff. We drove around the campus and its pretty spiffy looking. Theres some old looking buildings, but then again theres a lot of modern ones, too. And the living areas look really new and clean... from the outside. I think were going to go back next week and take the actual tour so we can go inside them. I bought a yellow folder with the logo on it. Their mascot and colors are oddly close to UCLA... Something else was really strange.. on the mountain behind the school is a big letter "C," leading you to wonder... why is there just a letter C on that mountain over there. You'd expect to see a "U" and an "R" on either side of the "C," but there was none. I picked up a newspaper (that just happend to be blowing by as I looked up at the mountain), hoping to find the answers I needed, but all I found was a comic... a comic that had the mountain, and the "C" in it, leading me to believe there never was a "U" or a "R." Whatever, man. Food time. My mom, dad, sister and I were kinda really hungry, and I wanted to see all of the off campus stuff... because I know thats where I'll be spending most of my time (everyday until like 1 am). We drove like way down the street, even though all of the food places are within walking distance of campus. Everyone, pay attention, because this is the part that makes me want to actually go to this college. Theres litteraly 50,000 food places 2 inches from the parking lot of the school. I can remember Starbucks (with a water fountain out front), Pizza Hut, Del Taco(w00t! Thats where I'll be every tuesday), weinersnizzel(thats what Im calling it from now on... because I cant spell), this place called... I cant remember, but it was really funky. There was also this other fast food joint, a Church's Chicken, Baja Fresh, Quiznos... 3 other no name places. (Leni, this is where I'm talking directly to you) Two places that have boba, one of which with Boba in its name. I really wanted a Jamba Juice, but I'll have to settle for a lesser known juice shack. continuing on, there was supermarkets, Hollywood Video, etc... A cool, but small looking, Movie theater(it dosent matter as long as it gets the new movies, and it had X-2 and a sign saying "Matrix Reloaded in 6 days"). They have an arcade. An arcade with 2 DDR machines. If there wasn't a DDR machine within 10 miles of my dorm room, I couldn't go to the school. They also have a working version of The Simpsons, and for all of those who have played The Simpsons, they know this is a very very good thing. There was also pool, which they have on campus, so Im not worried about that. Its open 'til 10 Monday-Thursday, so I'm going to be there very often. I often have visions when I go to a place about the perfect uber cool intro I coud make if I had the equipment. In this case, it envolves a pair of glasses and a long trench coat, not unlike the kind Neo wears in The Matrix. I'd open the door so loud that everyone in the arcade would become dead silent.. Even the games would stop making noise, because Im so cool. They'd watch as I moved towards the back of the arcade, towards the DDR Machine. While puttin in my quarters, those watching me would start to gather around the machine. As my song of choice started (We Will Rock You, of course), I'd throw open the jacket, kind like they do in westerns. The glasses wouldn't move at all. I'd ace the song, Triple S, and I'd walk out quietly, without making a noise. "Who was that guy?" they'd all be asking eachother. "That Guy," as they would soon learn to call me, would be the greatest DDR player on campus. The Silent Dancer would become a legend around UCR. Of course, mild-mannered Howard Henry would try to get a job at the arcade, making this "That Guy" character that much easier to pull off. Everything is planned out except for 1) living arrangements, 2)my source of food (as I am a really picky eater), and 3) friends. I'll tell you when I cross an item off of this list. Okay, thats enough Riverside talk. Last night, while enjoying a nice and quiet game of Yahoo Pool with my good friend Shant, some crazy ish happend. These three crazy guys came in and started talking to us. Shant said something making fun of them, and thats when all the insanity started. They were cussin' and carring on... so Shant and I desided to play with them for a little while. I took a page out of Lucas' book and told them they had no friends and stuff like that. I forgot when it happend, but at some point I told one of the guys (his name was "homie" something) that the police shot his mom, and thats when the theats started coming. Oh my god it was so great. The whole time the two of them (the other one left after a few minutes.. I didnt catch his name) were getting so pissed at us, and Shant and I were just laughing. This went on for like an hour.. the whole time Shant and I were playing pool. Homie said that I hurt him so much he was going to go kill himself, and I told him to go right ahead. He left the room, but came back two minutes later. We told both of them (the other guy's name was "Bigdaddy" something) that every time we kicked them out of the room, and they came back, we'd call them "queermo,"(which is a word Shant uses). It was so great because every time we kicked them out, the'd be back in like less than 30 seconds. So finally, they left, and I was bored for the rest of the night. That was my Pool story. Now, when I go off to college later this year, I think the site has to go through a maturing process. Its gonna change. the whole layout and everything. I'll be able to put up more pictures, hopefully, becaues I'll have a camera. I want to update more, but I can't promise anything. All of my crappy pictures will be gone, and the comics, and the essay, and the story. I do want to put on my other Stories, however. I have two "finished" stories I wrote for creative writing last year but I never posted. So those will be up. But anyways, everything is going to be different. Heck, its even starting right now. Did you notice the new old logo? It'll be the rebirth of creativity in the universe. And who knows? Maybe I'll become a better speller, too. Wednesday, May 7th(1 week until my AP Test) ... I dont really know what to say. I said I'd update yesterday, but I didnt, so Im updating today. Cool, eh?One thing I forgot to mention was that on Sunday at Julia's house, she was trying get me to eat new foods (she knows where this is going...). First we had some fruit. She bought a Honeydew Mellon and we ate that and it was good. Everyone knows I love fruits. So then we had this really sweet stuff that she got... it was like soaked in hunny or something. There was also some Russian Candy stuff they made me eat too, but I forget when. It was one of the last two things that made me barf into her trash can (well, kinda barf.. it was the candy and some milk..). Yeah... I have no idea where Im going with this. Yesterday at Del, Alecks gave me a picture he apparently took of me and shant, and I have a straw up my nose. The weird thing is I dont remember this ever happening... ever. Michelle said maybe the straw is the reason I dont remember that day... Thats about all, I guess. I cant think of anything else to write. See, now you guys who always bother me about updating all the time know why I dont... because the updates suck so much!! Sunday, May 4th(kablamo day) So.. uh... I just got back from X-2. And it rocked. Shant says that the only three characters that mattered in the movie were Wolverine, Mistique, and Magnito, and I just dont think thats true. Jean Grey.. you know? Sure, Collosus was kinda useless, but Storm! she did stuff! I'll stop now. So it was a fun day. I ditched marion and my brother to hang out with Julia and her family. At like 6:30 we all went to see the movie, and Tiffany came. Then after the movie, I was riding with Tiffany and Julia back to her house, in Tiffany's car, and it was pretty crazy. LIke... Goliath crazy. So... what else? I dunno, its late, so Im going to go now. I'll update tomorrow or something. you know what? I probably wont. Tuesday, thats the money day. Seriously. Friday, April 25th(A quiet friday night at home) Tuesday, April 22th(Tel Daco Tuesday) Well, its been, like, more than a week since I last update... Sooo much has happend since that sunday (Including what happend that Sunday). Well, Im lying. Not much happend... but some stuff. You'll see. So The first half of Last sunday was Great. Somewhat. As I stated, I was sick, so it wasn't the best day ever.. we got there before the parking lot even opened, so we waited a few minutes for them to let us park. We go and wait in line so Julia and I could get our season passes, then She forgets her wallet in the car. So she sends Yev back to get it and he said I left my door unlocked, which I totaly dont remember.. Julia hit me pretty hard and it made me depressed for a while, but I got over it eventually. We go up to X, the eXtreme ride (of course), and ride that up a bit. I was the only one that had been on it before, so it was pretty funny watching their reactions after we got off. Yev actually screamed while on the ride, and Julia was speechless after.. it was priceless. Yeah, the first half of the day went something like that. We went on some other stuff, but I dont think its worth mentioning. You guys dont want to hear that, do you? We went on that New Scream! ride, too, and let me tell you, it's not worth the hype. At all. It was pretty cool that your feet are just dangling (theres nothing in the park to really compare it to. Its not dangling like you would say "Batman is a feet-dangler"), and the front seat is the greatist. But after the first half of the ride, you realize that your in the freakin' parking lot. they didnt even paint the ground or anything, you can see all of the old car-slots right under you (and you get really close to the ground). Also, you have to wonder how many people they expected to ride this thing, because there was literaly no waiting area at all. New rides, like Goliath, X, and Deja Vu have all of these really complicated waiting areas, but Scream! only had a straight line, right to the loading area, which is kind of strange to me. I guess its a good thing, seeing how there was no line to wait in anyways. But it was a Rainy Sunday, which could have been the reason for the decline in.... people... Some point durring the day, Yev and Misha wanted to go on Superman, so we waited in line for that... durring the line is when Julia and I desided we were done... The day was over for us at that point. We went on the carosel, and rode that a few times.. we were going to get off, but finally the people on the couch got off, so Julia and I went to sit there.. well, she was sitting, I was almost lying down sleeping (because I felt so bad). We went around like 100 more times before desiding to go somewhere else. The whole time Im sleeping, Yev and Misha are Horse Hopping... they would start off at a certain point, and when they were out of the operator's line of vision, they would change places, or change rows, or move father apart, or something weird like that. One time they'd be right next to eachother, the next time, they were two rows apart. It was great stuff.. Yev has the pictures so I'll try to get those from him or something. After that... well, you guys dont care. It was Julia and I sitting down, waiting for Misha and Yev to get back from Goliath, and funnel cake. I slept as soon as I got home that day, at like 3 pm.. and stayed asleep for two days after that. Apparently, I got Misha sick too, which is kinda cool. Fast foward to Next Saturday. Julia, Yev and I go out to see House of 1000 Corpses, and boy did it suck. We invited Devo, too, but he couldnt make it, which sucks 'cause he really wanted to see it. Julia said she wanted to see what it was all about, but I warned her it was going to be bad. It turned out that everything in the movie was stolen from another movie or something... Plus there was no plot at all. Devo said that the movie got crappier when Universal sold the rights to MGM, and they cut out like an hour of footage or something, because it was too scary. Whatever, I just know the final product sucked alot of suck. So that was basically my Spring Break. Its hard not having a phone. Today was Del Taco Tuesday. Alecks has been gone since two tuesdays ago.. You'd know the whole story if you go to shant's site, so I'm not going to repeat it. Anyways, Alex made this sign, saying that we had a missing tuesday boy, and made the phone number 1-800-saw-alex, and Lucas came and called the number.. it was an answering mashine, and he actually left this hillarious message. Best moment of the day, In mY opinion. Then I came home, earlier than normal, and slept. I slept my heart out. And on top of that, I had like 5% of the homework that I normally get. I mean, there was Calc stuff, but I never do that. So boo ya! It was a good day. wow, this took forever to write. Im going to sleep now. Sorry I didnt Email you Michelle.. or Michelle.. good night! Sunday, April 13th(Six Flags Day) I told shant I'd update yesterday, but I didnt, so Im updating now. Its 6:43 am, and I wasnt scedualed to get up until 7... Julia, Yev, and their friend who I dont know how to spell his name are going to six flags today... that is, if it isn't all rainy. Since my phone is still dead(its been like that since thursday or so), Julia has no real way to keep in contact with me, so she said she was just going to come by at 8 and if I wasnt outside in 5 minutes then she was leaving without me... Ive been having some sleep trouble in the past few days, which hasnt been too fun. On friday, i went to sleep at midnight, and woke up at 4:30.. last night(and this morning) it was pretty much the same thing. yeah, its pretty crappy. I guess thats why Im dressed before 7, though, right? Scream, the new ride at six flags, opend yesterday, so Im hoping to ride that.. old school. I need medicine. Anyways, for those of you who dont go to Birmingham, Spring Break officialy started Friday afternoon. And yesterday was so laid back, it was the perfect first day of break. I guess I havent updated in weeks, huh? Oh well, I forgot most of the stuff that happend. So if you want me to mention something, email me. Well, bye all.
Tuesday, April 1st(April Fool's Day) Im sleepy, but I made a new logo so I desided to show it off... and while doing that, I desided to update just because the file was open already. Anyways, my breif week of happiness seems to be over, and this week is sucking hardcore already and its only Tuesday. The best week ever(the week I like to call "The week of little homework") came and went, and now I have a ton of homework... homework and tests... homework that I didnt do and tests I didnt study for. So yeah, Its no wonder I only got into UC Riverside. Yesterday I wasnt feeling good after school(or all day for that matter). My eyes were like bright red all day, and because Im already so mellow, everyone thought I was high. I went to Levi's house(my cousin, fyi) right after school(as opposed to staying after and talking to Michelle which is what I normaly do) and went to sleep until 5, when my dad picked me up. Then, I had to go clean with my dad and brother because my mom wasnt feeling good or something. Bah.When I say Im not feeling well, I dont think its a physical thing, but I could be wrong, of course. I have a hard time diagnosing myself sometimes. Its all very psychological stuff. Basically, my mind is slowly killing me. So I felt the same way I did yesterday all day today, and I was debating weither I should go to Del or not.... I did, and Im so glad I did. It was great, and I had a really good time. I told everyone about my movie idea and they all seemed pretty cool with it. Alex wants to add a gay ghost to the equation, which I think will work. So the tuesday boys cheered me up. W00t. What suprises me is... nevermind, I dont want to talk about it. Why dont I just delete this then? I dunno... Its weird... I am actually switching between being happy and being really depressed right as Im typing this. I think I need sleep. Tuesday, March 25th(Wind Waker day) Yee! I need to update more, don't I? Today, I actually had no real homework in any of my classes, which is just amazing. And this happens on the day that I get The Legend of Zelday: The Wind Waker. Yes, thats right. I actually played a video game on a school night... for 2 hours, mind you. This could be the game that changes everything around. For those of you that didnt know, I happen to like water stuff. I've always been fasinated by water and the ocean and rivers and lakes and stuff. So this game is like perfect... It makes me want to go out on and become a pirate (my second pick for profession). In other news, Del rocked. Other than the fact that I was there alone for like 5 minutes, then there with only Stephanie for another 5 minutes before everyone else got there, it was the best. Theres some prom stuff going on in my life right now as well, which Im not going to go into... the people who know, know. There was that one guy, though, who I didnt want to know, but I took care of him good. Maybe later, kids. More movies!!! Over the weekend I saw Back to the Future for the first time ever(gasp!), and yes I liked it. Shant has a picture of the main character's house from the movie, which Alex lives by. I also saw Super Troopers a few times, which rocks. I saw it when it first came out, and I forgot alot of the jokes. Its a really funny movie, though, and everyone who dosent want to see it because the previews looked stupid or whatever should just watch it on cable or something this week. Its really funny. Seriously. I guess thats all. Its early, and Im sleepy, so Im going to sleep. Or I could play Wind Waker some more. I'll see when I get to my room. Sunday, March 16th(Howard's day off) Thats right people, Howard finally had a day off. A day where almost nothing happend. A day where I watched 2 (thats right, 2) full movies... along with parts of others. I took a nap, but it was an early nap, so Im not as awake as I normally would be at 10:20 pm. So yeah. I was supposed to do alot of homework today, and get it all out of the way for the week... but then I realized just how un-Howard that would be. To be Howard means to be a protagonist. It means to be a smart protagonist... a smart protagonist that can't spell. But most importantly, a protagonist that loves to stay up late, and hates to have no energy. This, my friends, is where Howard's problem lies. You see, I seem to be suffering from a lack of energy as of late. I have always had this thing with me being tired all the time, but now, I cant even do any homework without a nap of at least an hour in lenght. I'm getting off topic here.... A lot has been going on in my "life" in the past few weeks. Mr. Leight is even more insane than he normaly is, handing out homework assignments in such a way like those old people who give out apples on Holloween to us kids.. us sweet, innocent kids, who just want a break from the normal; us kids who get apples in their lunches every single day.... Yeah, I've been losing a bunch of sleep over that whole apple thing. My love life has also been damaged, and a friendship is at stake, but I wont get into that. Then theres cleaning the schools, which has been toned down from a few weeks ago; my parents are just asking that I go on Saturdays, now, which rocks... somewhat. It still gets in the way of things that I want to do on Saturdays, but oh well... Im not going to complain about it... not right now at least. All this adds up to me having no energy to deal with it all. Im almost at my emotional limit. I actually reached that limit sometime durring the week.. or last weekend.. or yesterday... or friday. I dont remember. I just know I was there. And I hated it. Im never happy anymore, and I hate it. "So Howard," your saying, "what does this mean?" Well, it means nothing. Thats how I feel right now, which I realized on about Thursday. I have nothing. Not in the material way (I never really had anything, and I could honestly be happy without anything... materialy that is). Im talking about emotionaly. I think it was about two weeks ago that speaker guy came and talked to Marion and I in the College Center (I thought I mentioned it here, but I the update is gone.. I think it was in the update that I deleted on accident). He thought we were "gangstas" or something... Anyways, if theres one thing I remember from his speech (and there is... exactly one thing), its that he said to find something your passionate about and go for it. Find something thats really important to you, and just commit to it. I knew exactly what he was talking about... as soon as those words came out of his mouth, I seriously felt like crying; there isn't one thing I'm good at, or passionate about, or living for anymore. I have nothing. If I was Serious about drawing, I'd have drawn alot more than I have already, wouldn't I? If I was serious about the game company, instead of searching for time I'd make time, right? Music, the one thing I thought was holding me together all of these years, dosen't have the same effect on me anymore... it's starting to mean less and less to me. And its not just job-wise, either. In my social life, I was telling Leni a few nights ago, I dont feel like Im part of any group or anything... I have no "posse." Sure I have alot of friends, but I have very few friends who are... you know... those friends. I hang out with a lot of differnt separate groups, like who Im with at nutrition... like the tuesday boys... like Michelle and Marion (separatly, of course)... all of my internet friends.... But thats the problem, there's no one group that I'm "at home" with. Am I off topic yet? Well... yeah, Im sorry if this hurt anyone, but it's how I feel. College... thats another thing... I didn't think it acceptance letters would effect me the way they have. All I've been accepted to so far is UC Riverside... freakin' Riverside. Riverside was my backup plan... I really want to go to UC Irvine, but I've heard nothing from them yet. I guess I have no problem going to Riverside, but I'd at least want to know I got accepted to somewhere besides crappy Riverside. On Friday night, I let Leni check my UCLA thingie online, and I was rejected... I didn't really care. Yesterday, I came home from the store with my parents to find the actual letter from UCLA saying I wasnt accepted, and my mom did the normal "awww" sad sound and I felt like crying(thats two times I felt like crying in one update... scary)... then I pissed her off and left to go get more groceries out of the car. I'm in a rut. I want something different. Seriously. I need to go somewhere... travel has to be the answer, right? Oh, no... I have to go to college and major in something that I dont really care about to get a job that I dont really care about to make money to buy things I dont really care about. I feel like a blob... like a grey blob that means nothing. A blob that isn't going anywhere. Yeah... thats me. I hope that helped to make up for 2 weeks of not updating... and explained alittle bit why there were no updates... and more importantly, explained a bit more about who I actually am. Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Dogma and Man on the Moon. Sunday, February 23st(the day after pancake day) Im not really in an updating mood, but Im going to anyways... Today my mom forced me to go clean, even though I had this pounding headache (which eventualy went away). Then I came home and had to study for my Spanish test tomorrow, which is the only homework I did all weekend. Yawn, Im sleepy. Yesterday was great. It ended up being Marion, Jannah, Shant, Nerces(shants older brother), and Brian(my younger brother, for those who dont know). We met at the arcade, then crammed into Nerces' car to drive across the street to Ihop. Marion, being the eater he is, DIDN'T get the Neverending Pancakes deal, and instead got an omlet (which came with 2 pancakes... 2 pancakes he didnt eat). Shant, Nerces and I got the Pancakes, and I won the contest, (hardly) finish 8 pancakes. Both Shant and Nerces couldn't get past the last three (ohh yeah). I forget what Brian and Jannah got, but they weren't pancakes. Thats for sure. After that, Marion, Jannah, Shant, Brian and I walked back over to the arcade and played Rush 2049 for like 30 minutes straight... Jannah didnt know how to play so I was teaching her how to shift and stuff. Then, since Marion was out of money, we basically played arouned for an hour, outside and inside. Marion threw down a lighter he found and it exploded... pretty cool, even though I almost died. He stole Jannah's beenie, which hid her uncombed, yet still cool looking, pink hair... She chased after him, in 5 inch boots... then at some point shant jumped on marions back, and they almost broke a window... Finally, Jannah had to go, and then we left. Great fun. Jannah, if you see this, we have to talk about something.. Im basically putting this here as a reminder for myself =). So yeah, thats basically it. Its 11:20, so Im going to go to sleep now. Friday, February 21st(the day before pancake day) Guess what? I got a fever. And the only perscription is more pancakes. Wednsday, February 19th(Stay home "sick" day) Brrr, its cold in here. So yeah, I stayed home today, and yes, Im fine. Im just a bit sleepy. Last night wasnt a good night for sleep. Or for current events. As in, homework, you know. Not as in... world events of the day or whatever. So yeah, alot has happend in the past few days. Maybe. On Friday... Something happend, I just dont remember what. Well, it was the day that my parents realized they didnt have any money for the week... I spent valentines day in bed like all night or something.. it was pretty fun. On Saturday...Absolutly nothing happend. Wait, yes it did. I went to Skateland, thinking that my little cousin had her birthday party there, which she didnt. So I was in and out of there in like 3 minutes. I noticed they had The Simpsons arcade game that was out when I was a wee lad. I wanted to play but I was Jerked away, against my voltion. Anyways, we went to my cousins house, and hung out there for a while. Thats about it. On Sunday... I went to the movies with Monica for her birthday, which was on Saturday. We say.. dun dun dun... How to lose a guy in 10 days, which should have been called How to make a crappy movie in 10 days(or less). Haha!! It took me 5 minutes to think of that. She didnt really like it either, so I dont feel too bad. On Monday...I went to the arcade with Shant and he sucked at everything. And by everything, I mean air hockey and Rush 2049. Also, there was this guy cleaning the DDR Extreme machine, so I couldnt play for a long time... and when I finally could play, this guy asked if he could play too, and I said "sure!" like any normal ddr player would. This guy took two of the songs, on MY quarter. Do you know how much that sucks? And they were two songs that I didnt even know. And I failed my song for some unknown reason(too many people around me..). So yeah, I was pissed for a while. On Tuesday... I had a normal day of school. It was more normal that it usualy is. I hung out with Amy at lunch, because I hardly ever do that anymore, and it was pretty fun. 4th period I hung out in Ms. Rhew's class and watched some Homestar Runner cartoons. I left Del earlier than normal, which I now regret (although, it wasnt my fault, my parents picked me up early.). Then I came home, slept, then got up, did homework, then didnt sleep later on at night. Until like 3. And my parents woke me with their rustling. (I used a thesarus to come up with that.)

The Electra Complex was robbed last friday at the battle of the bands(see shant's site). Thats about it now, time for sleep.
Thursday, February 6th(The day where I slept a bunch afterschool.) Last night I was up until 3 am. Doing Homework for Government... After cleaning the school. I guess my mom felt bad for me or something, because she was all nice to me all day, hugging me and stuff, and she said that I didnt have to clean today(like I was actually planning on going). So yeah, I slept from like 5:30 until 8, and Im tired right now(Its 10:35). I just made a few cds for Scott(because I screwed up his first one, so I made a second one with all differnt songs.. twice as much music for the cost of one cd!) and one for JeeHee... She said that she was tired of the cds she had, so I told her I'd burn her a cd full of random songs she'd probably never heard of. Howard spreads his music taste once again.. muahaha. So In government today, we typed a bunch. Just like the rest of the week. I got the 4th period TA job working for Ms. Blitz (with Kosar and this other girl I dont know). Its cool because we dont do anything and I get to get out of a classroom for an hour a day... Today I hung out in the couseling office half the time talking to Sean Lombard. I suppose I could spend that time on something more useful then talking to Sean Lombard(ohh burn!!), but I won't so blah. Also, Michelle wasnt at school again today, just like yesterday... On monday she said she wasn't feeling good, so I hope she feels better.. I miss her too. My dad made copies for me and dropped them off at lunch, and it was pretty cool seeing him there. Also, Danielle was walking to the parking lot at lunch while I was walking back towards the school. It was really cool talking to her, as I havent talked to her in like a week(we used to have two classes together, but now we have none). Afterschool, Marion and I went to del taco and to gamestop, where he finished paying off his reservation for the new Zelda game. We also had a discussion about Grad Night, him saying hes not going because its disneyland. A little while ago Leni and I talked about it, and now Im really exited about it. We also talked about going away to college and both of us are sad about leaving friends behind... so yeah, that was my day up until right now. I'm still pretty sleepy so Im going to go now. And this time, Im not saying bye. Tuesday, February 4th(del taco tuesday) Im so sleepy... I actually went to clean with my parents today, giving up my homework time, just so my parents would shut up... Now all day tomorrow I gotta try to do my Government thing thats due on thursday... oh well. At least I have my cool new cd to listen to(Thanks Monica for the blanks). It has most of the recent Songs of the Moment on it, like Chocolate Phiosophy(the song that just happens to be on while Im typing this).... crap! I gotta get my GBA from stupid Eric... So yeah, the big news of the day is the CD. And Michelle Stalking Lucas, but everyone already knows about that. My cd is cool looking... and has wings. Yeah, it can fly. The greatest cd ever... So two updates in a row... Isn't that crazy? I guess Im really bored tonight. Stupid Sinus nose hurt thingie. I think its pretty obvious that Im out of things to say. I guess I'll end this here. Monday, February 3rd(First day of the Semester) Hey guys, whats up? How have you been? Not much new news... I talked to Michie over the weekend and today, which is great. I still have to mail her her Christmas gift... I also got $50 more dollars for working... thats just about $60 more they owe me. Speaking of working, my mom got pissed at me today for not going... She said that I have to go every day after today, which of course isnt going to happen. I'll make sure it wont... I told her even before we got the job that I wasnt going to go every day. I dont have that kind of energy or time to take 3 ap classes AND work for 2 hours a night. And she says this when she gets to come home every day at 2 and sleep until 5 or later (I hardly ever get home before 4:30). So yeah, everyone sucks. Today was the first day of the semester, and everything is practicaly the same. Theres no Marion or Danielle in 5th or 6th anymore, though, so I have noone to walk with to Spanish, or to get rides to Del Taco... I feel so alone... Anyways, I have no 4th period, so Im trying to TA for Ms. Blitz(the college counsler) with Kosar, because Kosar is fun to talk to. If not, I'll just have to go to Mr. Leight, I guess... Well thats all for now, Its late and I need me sleep. Bye. Thursday, January 30th(Finals are over!) Finals are over, and I think I did good on all of them! woo! I have time to do stuff now!I still havent uploaded all of my stories and stuff for your reading pleasure, but I think I'll do that when I get back home(Im about to leave to clean the schools in like two seconds). Oh yeah, everyone who is coming from Eric's Neopets page, good job on raising my hit counter, I appriciate it. The more I hear from MC Chris, the more I like him. Every day of finals, the Tuesday group has been going to Del. Of course it's fun, it always is. It also rocks getting out of school at 12:30. And I like macho fries. And soda. Soda is really good. Speaking of soday, Im finally getting paid this weekend. And I plan on buying some gifts for some people(Michelle and Michie), along with some stuff for myself, stuff I feel I deserve. Stuff like music. And Comics. Stuff like DDR. And Movies. And Music. I'm only getting $150, though. Oh well, I guess its all I earned. Stupid work. Who wants some music?!?! He is Franz Kafka! Sunday, January 26th(I-Feel-Crappy-Superbowl Sunday again) I still have half a story to write and I have to finish up my current events. I have to study for all of my classes finals and Im really annoied right now. I need to let off some steam, but how... This is annoying.. if anyone wants to do this for me, call me. Sunday, January 26th(I-Feel-Crappy-Superbowl Sunday) its the sunday before finals and I have a test tomorrow. I feel really crappy right now and I still have a bunch of stuff to do all day.. a bunch of stories and stuff to write before tuesday, plus current events and studying for government. and its already almost one... This is going horrible. Thursday, January 23th(because Michelle wanted an update...) This Cable Internet stuff rocks old school. Ive downloaded so many episodes of Sealab 2021, Family Guy and the Simpsons.. and all the music.. Last night I made what I think is my greatest CD ever. The song of the moment, Fett's Vette, is like the best song in the world right now. Thats right, the whole world. I think this guy is better than Eminem... and who could forget about Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld? They rock the hizzous. Finals are next week and Im getting kinda nervous.. Gov shouldnt be too hard, neither should calc(its a normal test..), Shakespeare and Creative writing I just have to present (in shakespeare with shant, sabrina, and serina... Im the only non-s in our group..), but creative is a problem. Im supposed to have 20 works done and in a package ready to turn in by next wednsday, but its not gonna happen... I have like 10 done right now, but I'll probably get a few done by the time its due, so I'll just turn in what I have... its all crappy, too. Im planning on posting all of it up here, too, so I'll make a section for it and everything when im done typing everything... this weekend hopefully... Back to finals!! Spanish is gonna cause some problems, seeing how I suck at it. Ive been putting off studying, which is gonna hurt me a bunch, but I should still pass, as long as I get like 70 or so points on it. Next semseter Im gonna actually do work... heh, yeah right.. Shants coming over this weekend to work on the project, which is good because our with our combined HTML skillz, we can make a website that will rival even the most technological advanced sites on the net (you know what Im talking about... I'll try to update again soon, I gotta go play risk now, bye! Saturday, January 18th Today is actually Sunday, if you want to get technical.. Stupid Shant is in Vegas living like a king while Im stuck here with my new cable internet... curse him. Im so tired right now, and kinda sad... Im trying to think of a way to put this without giving anything away (its the key to running a sucessful website). Lets just say if your one of the two people who read this site, and you know why I would be said (because it has something to do with you, and because we just got off the phone a little while ago), then hurray, and I love you =). This past week has returned me back to what I know the best in my life; stressing out and not doing homework assignemnts because 1)Im lazy 2)Im sleepy or 3)I have some other assignemnt to do and not enough time... Yeah, its the story of my life. In other news, I actually saw both Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and I loved both of them. Yeah, I dont know what else Im supposed to say about them... see them, if your into those kinds of movies, I guess. I'll end this here because its late and Eric wants to go to sleep. The living room is his bed... Bye Sunday, January 12th(1 days until school) you know what really sucks? winter break. First of all, our Shakespeare teacher gave us this assignment over break which didnt seem like much. All we had to do was read Richard the third and do reading logs for it, along with 30 vocab words(which is really alot, trust me). I waited until last wednsday to do all of my homework, and the plan was supposed to work out flawlessly. I wasn't going to do any of the APES stuff because I dont like the class or the book, and it was all busy work anyways. I did all of my government stuff, which I spread out over every day from then until today. While doing that, I was supposed to be reading for shakespeare, which I was, just the wrong play (mistake number one). I only highlighted like three words, thinking we only had to do ten for the week (mistake number two). I came online at like 7 tonight and found out from shant that I was wrong about everything... I just talked to Sabrina, and she says the stuff probably wont be due tomorrow, so Im not going to worry about it. Oh well, at least I got all of my government stuff done. I think I'll go shave now so I dont have to do it in the morning, then I'll go to sleep, so I can actually wake up in the morning.. good night! Saturday, January 11th(2 days until school) Today was another one of those arcade days. Something felt off, so I didnt play that much DDR(I was slower than usual.. maybe I was hungry), but I did play Rush 2049 a whole bunch. Then we went to clean the preschools and to Shakeys(where I played more Rush, but their game sucked..). Yesterday, We went to the car show! And of course, the best car was the MINI Cooper(everyone at school on monday will see my pictures..). Brian hates it, but hes an idiot. Leni knows what Im talking about(right Leni? uh huh...). Shes got style. The car combines my love of the British with my need to buy a cute girly car. As you can see on the side, its now my obsession of the moment. Well thats about all for now. I got a bunch of homework to do by monday, so I gotta get up early and get to work. It sucks. I demand another week off. And those who want to help with the game mentioned in the last update, visit this page. Bye! Monday, January 6th(6 days after new years...) Okay, after thinking for a really long time(the whole weekend long.. thats a really long time if you think about it), I have desided that I need to be more creative("gasp!" you might say.. I know, me too). And the way to express that through video games... but first some background info. If your not a gamer, then you have probably never heard of the TV station G4(and theres a good chance that even gamers havent heard about it). Its basically the All Gamer Network, and every show is about video games in some way... shows reviewing games, shows with game codes, and even shows with game news, which is where I come in. The show, Pulse, goes through video game news and such instead of just talking about how good or bad the games are. This week, the first week that I ever saw the show, mind you, they did a whole show on breaking into the gaming industry(which, as everyone who knows me should know, is what I want to do). They were talking about how most people in the industry start off as game testers, and I was thinking 'boy, that must suck.' Everyone thinks that being a game tester should be the greatest thing in the world, but it isnt. So I was thinking about how I want to skip that whole phase completely. Now lets rewind even farther back... Earlier last year, Alex, Alien, Miyako, and I started a game company that went nowhere.. We were way too unorganized to even come up with a sutable idea. So heres what I'm thinking: we start again.. with some new faces(alex and alien, you guys are still in, if you want of course). I'll make the ad/page tomorrow, with more details and such. It will be really organized and we'll actually make something we CAN make(starting small and working up to bigger things). Anyone is welcome to help, so if you know any programers or artists, Email me. One thing, though, is that I am the producer/lead designer. Of course I have some ideas, but we'll discuss that later on when we actually have a team together. More details tomorrow(maybe). Oh yeah, and there will be no pay, Im telling you now.. Well thats the main thing on my mind right now, so I'll end this here. UPDATE: I just added a counter(because my old one dissapeared...) and a well needed Message Board(so Michelle, you dont have to use the Guestbook to leave me messages anymore).
Tuesday, December 24th(Xmas eve) Christmas time... is here.. Today Me and my peeps went to the local Del Taco to debate current events and discuss local problems. Seeing how I am now officialy considered a Tuesday Boy, it is one of my many duties to make an appearance on Tuesdays at Del Taco. So I did. Neay. I beat the game Space Channel 5 two times(twice!) today. I think thats some kind of accomplishment... Well, not really, seeing how its only 25 minutes of gameplay. But its the best 25 minutes I can buy for 3 dollars. Heh, but seriously folks, its a great game, with great music. 25 minutes worth. Have you ever felt like everyday, your life just gets worse and worse? Yeah, thats my life... My parents are forcing me into the "family business" that they desided to start, without even asking me. They clean preschools now, and we have two clients(one we've had for a while, but since we got the second one, we are now officialy a business). My mom keeps saying we need the money, but I dont really care. I dont always have the time to spend 2-3 hours a night sweeping preschools. Not only that, but Im lazy, too. And Im not planning on spending all of my saturdays for the rest of my life cleaning a church. Last Saturday, we were there all day, from about one in the afternoon til 6 or 7 at night. Also, Im not willing to do work when I dont feel like it because my parents are too lazy to go when I actually do feel like it. She wants us to go tomorrow(which is Christmas...) because she didnt want to do it today. How much sence does that make? I should point out this is durring the vacation, so I cant really give the excuse of it taking away homework time(although, in theory, it is). When school actually starts back, I will have a ton of homework (like always), and I know I wont be able to clean every day. My mom is gonna have to get someone new to take my place (like Marion). I dont really care about getting paid. Its now 10:34 and Im really tired. Theres no gifts under the tree right now, but I know there will be when I get up. Thats how my parents operate... they shop at the very last minute, and wrap the night before.. Its a tradition they have (seriously). Even when they can shop and wrap 2 weeks before, they'd rather not. It seems like fun to me, its how they get into the Christmas spirit. And they like to buy stuff for us, so it all works out. By this time tomorrow, I should be halfway through Metriod Prime, Metriod Fusion, AND Zelda: A link to the past. Thats right. I guess this concludes this edition of the update. Until next time, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Thursday, December 19th(Reverse Minimum Day) Im sick... a little. Stupid Brian and his stupid germs... Im supposed to be immune... IMMUNE!!! Oh well... Today wasn't as cool as it was supposed to be... It was supposed to be a nice change up from the usual(which is what I was looking forward to), but it felt just like any other day.. only an hour later(and you cant even feel that hour difference). Marion and I went to Del afterschool, then to Gamestop... but yeah, I dont know why I skipped so far ahead. I gave people their gifts in the morning(all but one... sigh), and Amy gave me a cool cool really cool teddy bear! Amy is the sweetest. Monica gave me a candy cane, also, which I have yet to eat(its still in the bag with the other gift). I think thats it... Oh yeah, and its raining now.. sweet. Tomorrow is the last day before vacation, which always has its ups and downs. I have to make sure I get my goodbyes in and all the hugs and such, or I'll be sad all vacation. Its happend before. And I have to give that last gift away... In gov, were watching the Simpsons, for its political jokes and such. In Spanish, were going to watch Bubblegum Crisis, which also rocks(just not as much as the simpsons). And Danielle said she was going to show up, I conviced her that it wasnt worth ditching if were not doing anything but movies in classes anyways. And thats good because I get to see her one more time before break. That is, unless shes going to Six Flags with us next week. All of a sudden my nose feels better... strange... but my thoat still hurts, and my eyes have this problem where they keep closing... I think I should go now, bye! Monday, December 16th(Rainy day) I didnt realize how long its been since I last updated.. oh well, nothing too important has happend(other than the stuff Im about to mention, of course). First, I hope everyone noticed the logo has changed to a more christmas-ish... tone(i guess thats the word I'm looking for). It took me a good 20 minutes to do that, so you guys better like it(Michelle has my permission to not like it). Marion spent the night at my house last Tuesday to do homework, yet we did no homework... I guess its not that strange concidering its Marion. Same thing happend last night, as well... In the morning he went home instead of going to school, which was pretty funny. He ditched work to spend the night at my house, hoping he'd get fired(which he didnt). I'm getting back into Guitar Freaks/Drummania(or Percussion Freaks), and my skills in DDR have finally come back, I just have to work on my stamina again... Sean gave me this cool site where you can download Bemani songs for free, so I got a bunch of them... and found a new favorate song(see the song of the moment). Also, theres a disturbance in my close circle of friends thats really getting to me(althought it dosent involve me at all). If it dosen't end soon, I'll be forced to take drastic measures. On Saturday, Scott and I took a trip to the Mall to buy some things for some people, most of whom read this site(I think). So no, no gifts will be mentioned here. But all of them are pretty cool, I can tell you that. Some people I didnt get anything for, who I want to get something for(like Danielle), and now I feel bad... I think thats all... Oh yeah, the rain!! Its raining!! And of course, that cheers me up. okay, Bye! Thursday, December 5rd(Teasers!) Its like midnight... I was in bed and I something didnt feel right so I got up to check something... It turns out Im not registered for the SAT on Saturday, but instead I registerd for the one in January... I feel so stupid... I registerd so long ago that I didnt bother checking until a few minutes ago. I doubt Im even going to take that one now. I didnt give blood, either. I never got called in... oh well, I guess. Arg. Thats how I feel right now. Its like a higher level of blah. Above and to the left a bit, Almost mixing with Anger, but mixing more with Depression than anything. Ive been so sleepy all day, and now I cant sleep. Sigh. I'm still thinking about everything that happend today, and about what Michelle told me, and about my big test in AP Gov... At least I have nothing planned for Saturday now. shant? still coming over? I guess thats all. Im going to sleep now. Tuesday, December 3rd(Del Taco Tuesday) Yo. My anger never came back... well it did for a while, but then it went away again. So yeah, Im not exactly happy, but I guess Im content at the moment. Im still stressed, but I doubt that'll change for a few years(Im guessing 5). So basically Im screwed either way. I dont know what that either way was for.. Anyways, Howard's family is now the owner of a washing machine, which means no more dirty socks for me! How can you not tell I'm exited? Your confusion confuses me. So yeah, Del was great as usual. I stayed later than normal on account of my parents being late, and I let Julia borrow my Noogies book... shes like in love with it or something. Wait untill she gets aload of Squee!(yeah Michelle, thats the pee one.) Marion brought his Mortal Kombat to school today and we played at nutrition and lunch... In my opinion, its not the best game ever... Maybe thats because I suck at it. I guess this is one of those random point updates like Shant does, which is cool. I dont plan these things out, I just let them grow. Like some kind of robotic flower. ...Crap, I have some sites I need to check, which I always forget about, so I'll end this now(sleep early tonight). Bye? Sunday, December 1st(Rabbit Rabbit day) I seriously had this whole thing planned out in my head ALL DAY, and now I forget what I wanted to say... I hate when that happens Ive been depressed all day... until recently, that is. Im fine right now... but anyways, back to the update. I've been in my room, watching tv and thinking way too much. Then I finally went to the mall, and I bought "I Feel Sick" #1(a comic by Jhonen Vasques, for those who dont know(everyone..)) and "Lenore: Noogies" by Roman Dirge(another comic). "I feel sick" was great, and I cant wait until I get the other comic(Hot Topic didnt have it....curses). Lenore has its moments, but its nowhere near as entertaining as any of the Vasques stuff I've read, which reminds me.. Johnen has a one page fan comic in Noogies which is really funny. Everyone should read it(out of my book, of course. It'll be at school tomorrow). See?!? I got side tracked again... This update was supposed to be about my depression. Oh well, I guess it'll have to wait until I'm sad again(and knowing me, it'll be sooner than later). I picked "Paint it Black" as the song because its how I felt earlier. Everything should be black... I picked "Pollyanna" because its quickly turned into my happy song, which is how I feel now. I was listening to it in the shower(I had to dry off with a shirt...), and it made me feel better(that and I Feel Sick). This update has lost its edge...heh... so I'll end it here, bye! Saturday, November 30th(UC Applications due...) ::yawn:: ...Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been lazier that usual lately. Lets get down to business... Howards Birthday: Michelle got me a compliation tape(that she made), Daytona USA for the pc, and some paperclips. Scott got me a Homer"d'oh!" beanie. Marion got me a Metriod Prime poster. Shant bought me a Macho Fry at Del Taco(Marion, Michelle, Brian, Eric, Jeff and Shant took me for my birthday... really coom), and later gave me $20 which he wont take back. Monica got me a DK gummy pop(or something, I forget the formal title). Mom and Dad bought me PSO and Sonic Mega Collection(two excelent games), and gave me $50(long story). Grandma, aunt Rachelle, and uncle Keith gave me a combined $60 which I got on Thanksgiving. Amy said she got me something, but I havent receeved it yet, so yeah. Thats about all I got on that topic. No Six Flags. Not even once. Everyone hates me =(. Last Saturday: Okay, this needs some explination. Remember how Tuesday was Michelles birhtday(scroll down for details)? Well Michelle has these friends, right? They wanted to take her to California Pizza Kitchen for her birthday, and Rebeca wanted me to go, so I did. The only people I really knew were her and Michelle, plus Nora. So everyone ate stuff but me(and Michelle got mad at me). My parents came back, and I had to go, but they told me I couldnt leave yet, so I waited a few minutes, and to my suprise, they brought out ice cream for both me and michelle, and sang to us! I was really not expecting anything... Rebeca told me it was Nora's idea.. both of them are so nice. I think thats about all thats happend to me since I last updated... pretty boring life, eh?  Come take the Comprehensive DDR Personality Test! Created by ptocheia Tuesday, November 19th(happy birthday Michelle!) Pokerap.. yup. Okay first note... Senior Meeting today 4th period.. I sat between Monica and Shant. Monica was drawing sad clouds everywhere(yes, including my arm), while Shant and I made jokes about everything(like the good ol' days... heh, can you hear me now?). I knew that all the seniors in our class were idiots, but today just reniforced the fact. Its one of the biggest reasons why I'm in AP classes instead those "regular" classes, where the average student reads at a 6th grade level. Sure, the work may be a tad bit harder(seriously, its not that much), but its a small price to pay to get away from the morons. Second, Michelle seemd to be happy with the results of Skanky Ho Day. she liked my present(Adam Sandler cd), and she looked real purdy. Scott got her this really cool Spongebob that I was tempted to steal. And her cake smelt great. Second, Del Taco Tuesday was ufn(no typo...) as always. I guess thats all to say about that.. Third... I dont really have a third. Now that I think about it, today was pretty boring. On boring days I dont usualy update. I guess I just wanted to show off the quiz I took. Expect something bigger soon... probably Thursday, seeing how it's my birthday and all. Monday, November 18th Sorry about the song(not that anyone pays attention to it), but I dont know what its called.. Its a good song, though. Its from this anime that scott showed in Anime Club last year(for those of you who remember anime club)... and yeah. So tomorrow is Michelles birthday, also known as (everybody, together now...) Skanky ho day! Seeing how she wont read this until after I give her what I got her(and possibly after Skanky Ho Day), I can post it here. I think the picture speaks for itself. Okay, this is taking too long to write... I guess Im not in a writing mood tonight... Its a bit chilly outside. That has nothing to do with anything, just thought I'd point that out. hey, this might be cool. Monica and Amy wernt at school today. They were both missed. ahh.. this has gone on long enough.. later. Saturday, November 16th My stomach hurts.. guess Im hungry or something. I probably should do something about it, but.. oh well. Its saturday afternoon, and marion and eric just left. We were playing pso for like 5 hours... Anyways, I should be laid back and relaxed right now, having the house to myself(except for my mom in the back asleep), but for some reason Im not for some reason. Im uneasy and nervous, or something like that. And Im kinda sleepy. Maybe I'll take a nap or something... So Marion tells me that my personal statement for the UC schools is about an experience that changed me, or something to that effect. Im basically the same person I've always been(with some minor tweeks, of course). Exactly how much change do they expect out of High School kids? Not everyone has gone on swashbuckeling adventures that shape the course of ones life. I'll probably write that tomorrow. No. I have to write it tomorrow. Or I'll die. I'm in one of those rare anime moods I tend to get in. I was watching this show that Marion let Eric borrow earlier... the name I forget. I just know the girl was obsessed with guys under 12 years of age... pretty freaky stuff Birthday on Thursday. I hope I get some groovy stuff. Friday, November 15th I just downloaded the ROM for Earthbound Zero, but I havent played it yet... yummy So today was a minimum day, but, unlike almost every other minimum day, I didnt do anything special. We got out at 12:30, which is really early in the day, for those who didnt know. Marion and I were planning on doing something until about 3, when he had to go home and get ready for his first day of work at United Artists by his house... so yeah. We were planning on going down to The Warehouse by my house, but the stupid busses didnt come or anything, and I got Del Taco and Marion ran down the street to his friends house and yea... it was a pretty action-packed day. Oh yeah.. the kids on Legends of the Hidden Temple won a Geosafari... isnt that the best gameshow prize ever? Well, this weekend looks to be a pretty laied back one. I need to do my essays for college and junk, the deadline is coming up. Plus other homework, and that Powerpoint thingie. And my room is kinda stinky, so I'll work on that too. At least the holidays are coming, and fast! But they just might make me more depressed.. we'll see what happens.. whoops! Did I say I was depressed? You didnt read that. The air in this house seems to be kinda dry... probably has something to do with the heater... Thursday, November 14th I dont have much to say, I guess. Lots o' homework, like always. I haven't been online much lately, except really late at night(10 is late, in howards world... muahaha..). I'm "grooving" to DDR music tonight, rather than the Aquabats or the Hives or what have you. Getting back to my roots, you know(because my roots really do start about 2 years ago.. in howards world.. muahaha.. yeah). You know, someones birthday is coming up soon.. someone very special. I think you know who you are. Thats right, its my little cousin Camron's special day on November 21st! Everyone must get him something, he'll be 3(or 4.. I lost count). While on the topic of bithdays, I think I should mention Michelle's on Tuesday the 19th(also known as "Skanky Ho Day"), so everyone get her something. Oh, and I almost forgot, My birthday is on the same day as Camron's(Thursday, Nov. 21), which is also the birthday of Natasha in my 3rd period Shakespeare class. She dosen't go to my site, but yea. Also, Brian, my best friend from Elementary School(who I haven't talked to since 5th grade, mind you) has the same birhtday. Yup.. November 21 seems to be a really great day, don't you agree? So lets recap really quick: Monday=Metroid Prime and Fusion. Tuesday=Skanky Ho Day. Wednsday=Reading Logs Due for Shakespeare class. Thursday=Howard, Camron, Natasha and Brian's birthday. Friday=Powerpoint presentation for Gov+Vocab due for Shakespeare(20 words, of course). Sounds like a busy week for me... Monday, November 11th quick update... I was supposed to have the weekend to myself, but I didnt. Oh well.. I started playing Yu Gi Oh cards.. and I suck at it. Oh well... I updated the links section(finally). Its small, but I added some things you might enjoy... if your insane.. but that means everyone who's reading this. So enjoy! Thats about it. Im writing a story right now which I should finish but Im probably not going to. It feels like I should be doing homework of some kind, but I dont want to. Im stuck... what do I do someone!? archive |
