Song of the moment: "Eyes on Me" Final Fantasy 8
Okay, Im better. I was better hours after I typed what I did yesterday, actually. Then depressed for a while, then happy again after school =). Thank you Monica, for making "the deal" with me. Thanks Michie for listening to me, of course, and for being there for me. Thanks Michelle for just being Michelle. I love all of you! And both Michelles.. write back soon...About the whole scott thing, it turns out that both of us felt bad, so everything is fine now, which makes me really happy.
So alex gave me this site last night... FFRadio.net. Saying its really cool is an understatment. You get to request song you want to hear, from a huge list of games. How can you lose?! The catch is that its only a few an hour(one or two, depending on the time time). But still, get someone else to request a song for you, like I did(thanks a bunch, amy!)! Yeah... thats about all on that topic.
Today, shant and I went to Del Taco for a while.. and by a while I mean about 20 minutes before my dad came. I got the usual(for those who dont know.. two macho fries and a small soda.. yummy!), and Shant ate something.. I wasnt really paying attention. Today was a pretty average day. OH, and it was 80's day.. Monicas favorate day since the beginning of time. Honestly. They didnt play any Devo, though, which sucked. They only played two songs, actually, one of which was Michale Jackson's "beat it," Which is good enough for me. Nothing out of the ordinary happend today... Rain, I guess.. but thats not too strange.... Or is it? You tell me.
I still need to study for Gov, but Im too lazy to. I dont want to fail, but then again, I do. Go figure... School is depressing. I cant wait until its over... Bye!

Song of the moment: "Latin Simone" Gorillaz
I have a ton of things to do for school tomorrow, yet I'm online, durring the time when I shouldn't be online. And Im updating my site. I think thats kinda strange.
I know for a fact that I'm not myself right now. Who I am, I dont know. Its quite possible that I died today, though. At least thats what it feels like. No, I'm not good.
I'm quite bad, actually. I need someone... anyone... yeah.
You know, I havent felt this bad in a year. A whole year, almost exactly. I remember last year, around this same time. I was the manager for the basketball team, and I was depressed everyday of November.. even on my birthday. I think its strange that the same thing is happening. AP Government with Mr. Leight is ruining my life. Seriously. Its making everything bad and evil and I hate the class more than I ever have. We had this group project, right? Scott, Marion, and I. Scott wrote the essay. I was to type the essay. Marion did nothing. I typed, put it on a disk, brought it to school to print out. The disk didnt work. On any computer. In the whole school. We tried to type the whole thing over durring lunch, but we ran out of time. I've never seen Scott so pissed in my life. I felt horrible. I let down the group, and more importantly my friends. I dont even want to face Scott right now... Im still really depressed about the whole thing. In the end, Mr. Leight gave us more time to work on it, saying we could turn it in by the end of the day for full credit, but that dosent matter. I let down my friends. And I was just talking to Shant, or Michelle, or someone about how Scott treats me like Im stupid and how he patronizes me and stuff. Yeah.

Song of the moment: "The Hives-Introduce the Metric System in Time" The Hives
I'm on the phone with Amy right now! Um.. nothing really to update about. I changed some things on the site, mainly the logo(smile!). Pokemon(first season) and Yu-Gi-Oh on every day on Cartoon Network... rocks.
No school for Howard today.. and aparently no school for Amy or Marion, either. very strange. I stayed home to finish up some homework, some of which I didn't actually finish. Oh well... School should die. Old School.
Phantasy Star Online is one of the greatest games ever created. Too bad the people I play with(my brother and Eric) are jerks.
This is a crappy update and yeah, I think I'll end it here. Bye!

Song of the moment: "One Two(little bitch)" Bus Stop
I had this whole update planned out in my head at around 8 o'clock... back when I was pissed. But now Im fine(oh, its about 11:15 pm)... so yeah.
I was probably just going to complain about school and stuff... Oh yeah! I was going to say this:
Remember when I tried to get out of AP Gov? After they didn't me switch and I desided to stop fighting and just do the work, I desided that I would try my hardest to do good in the class, (mostly so I could say I beat Scott in it) so I do all the assignments and actually STUDY for the tests and such(which for me is rare... I dont study). Anyways, so far, I think I'm doing pretty good(I just finished typing an essay for the class, actually). But whats happening is that Im devoting too much time to this class, and not enough to anything else. I havent done any Calculus homework in a while, and Im going to be failing that class pretty soon. My point is this. My future career goal, if you didnt know, is to become a video game designer. I desided back in 9th grade thats what I want to do full time. Its something that I know I'd love, and that I wouldn't mind doing everyday until the end of time... Anyways, when it comes to video game design and stuff, you have to know at least alittle about every part that goes into a game, such as level design, music, and programing. Now, you need math skillz for stuff like that, right? So why not focus most of my energy towards MATH, the subject that will actually help me in my future, unlike Government... after thinking about it for a half a second, I just realized that taking AP Government will help me become a better person in the long run, but that has nothing to do with my career... so yeah. My point is that school sucks. And Spanish 2.. I think I might be failing... Shakespeare too.. I need to catch up this week... GRR!!
One more thing... I have to read for Shakespear, right? Im behind in vocab stuff, which I can make up... Im like 40 words behind, right? and the 10 week is next week, right? That means I have to do all 40 words by next week, or else I'll get another fail on my report card...
Also notice that I'm super stressed out on Halloween week. It feels nothing like Halloween to me anymore... My original plans were to go to the arcade, just like last year, and play DDR for a while. But now, I have two tests to study for, along with current events and vocab to do... and making up Calc homework that I neglected to do all week. Sigh. I hate being me.

Song of the moment: "Little Bitch" The Specials
First of all I have a couple of surprises...
...none of which I'll show off today. Sorry.
So on Friday afternoon/night I went to Fright Fest again, out of no where... And by that I mean totally the last minute. It was pretty fun.. not as fun as last time, though. We werent there for that long, and we only went on 5 rides; 2 of them Goliath, and 2 of them Blood Falls(log jammer). We watched the Hypnotist show(well, Tim and I left for a while and came back..the show was an hour, and we were convinced it was fake), and tim and I made fun of the guy... It sounded like he was just screaming into the mic and everyone was cheering. It was cool =P. While Marion, Breanna and Meggan watched the whole thing, Tim and I went on Blood Falls without them. Also, we went into a "haunted house/maze" that we(Monica, Marion, Scott, Brian and I) missed the first time we went. It had its moments, but overall it wasnt scary... Spiders scare Breanna and Marion, though =)
So yesterday, Marion, Brian and I went to the Arcade and played a bunch of DDR. Thats about it... Today I stayed home and did homework all day. Pretty uneventful, huh? See? This is why I dont update on weekends... Im downloading a bunch of DDR music right now and I plan on making an all DDR cd pretty soon.. ohh yeah. >br>

Song of the moment: "Your horoscope for today" Weird Al
Okay, I forgot to mention some things about Fright Fest on sunday... Monica goes into some detail about it on her livejournal. Theres the Corn Nuts guy, who is evil, by the way(read about him on Monica's page.. I'm too lazy to tell the story). There was Brian hitting me on the head with a Jaw Breaker. There was the guy in the motorcycle in the ball thingie outside of Riddlers Revenge. There was Marions girl clone, in line for Goliath(which broke down, by the way), who he didnt get her name. She was pretty cool, and she had on a calvin and hobbs shirt. Both of her other friends had Spongebob shirts. It sucks Marion didnt talk to them more(I actually talked to them more than he did... I showed them the Train Dance... after she showed me the Flight Attendant, Milking the Kangaroo, and Pushing the Midget... all dances she made up). They seemd to be into all the stuff we're into(yes, even DDR). Oh well. There was Scott riding on Marions back up Samarai Summet(which, for those who dont know, is the ultra steep hill leading up to Superman:The Ride) and falling. The kid with the "Doom Song" shirt from Invader Zim("I'm gonna sing the doom song now! Doom doom doom doom doom...") and Monica and I yelling "DOOM!" whenever we saw him...which was like 3 times. Collosus backwards rocks, old school. The Brits in line for Deja Vu. "Moo!!!" and "Oom!!!" need some explaining. While in line for Revolution, the first ride we went on(because its the closest to then entrance.. duh), Monica said that the lines we have to wait in are kinda like cattle being lined up to be slaughterd. Then she yelled out "Moo!" And I told her to turn backwards and say "Oom!" because its Moo backwards, get it!? ahahaha.. yeah.. So anyways, we did that all day, in every ride. I think we annoyed scott with it... There are some other situations that are kinda hard to explain in writing... like when the guy snuck up behind me, and I used my delayed reaction skillz to run from him. Marion was almost crying laughing. And when I say "run from him," I mean my hands up in the air and everything.
Ok, I think thats enough for tonight.. and I'll stop with the Fright Fest stuff now. It was almost a week ago... It was the most fun I had in ages, though... sigh.
Bye!

Song of the moment: "Upside Down" Coo Coo(from DDR)
No update for a long time, but oh well, you didnt miss much. In the past few days, though.. thats a whole different story.
First of all, even though its late, I want to mention the field trip my AP Environmental Science(APES for short) class took out on this boat last wensday. It was really fun, for me and some others, at least. Half of the boat, including Leni and Michelle got sick, and were out for an hour or more(*ahem* Michelle). We got to see a bunch of cool fish and junk. But just being out on a boat, in the ocean, rocked. I havent been in the ocean since like 4th or 5th grade, when we last went whale watching. So yeah, I like boats. The bus ride home was even more entertaining, though because 1) Michelle was more or less back to normal, and we got to talk(unlike on the boat) the whole time, which is always fun, and 2) seeing Saba(sp?) super hyper was pretty cool, but annoying. I stole her hat twice! Ohhh yeah.
On to Friday. It was a fun day for unknown reasons. Even though I failed 2 tests, I had lots of fun. Im still wondering about that... Then later on, Michie called me, from New York, and we talked on the phone for about an hour! Hurra! Anytime Michie and I talk on the phone, Im happy.
Sunday, Marion, Monica, Scott, Brian(my brother) and I went to Six Flags, because I had two free tickets and a $15 one. We never go anywhere, so this was the perfect time.. plus its Fright Fest, so it was perfect! It was more about just hanging out with friends than going for rides or anything; I can do that stuff anytime. Waiting in lines was suprisingly fun, for me at least. It scared me when Monica stoped talking on like three separate occasions, but she clammed she was fine, and she backed it up by being her normal self again. After dark, all the fun stuff started happening. We headed all the way from "X"(the new "4 dimentional" roller coaster, which, by the way, rocks old school) to the Gotham Backlot(which, for those of you who havent been to Magic Mountain, Is all the way across the park) to go to one of the "haunted house/maze" things. On the way, we(meaning Monica and I, eveyone else must have been really tired or scared or something, because noone was talkin but us two) met about 5 "zombie/undead" people guy men, me shaking their hands, Monica hugging them. There was this one clown zombie that Monica really pissed off... She asked him if he was hugged as a child, and the zombie clown replied "shoo" and walked a way. Of course, like any other non-zombie would do, I chased him for about half a second. You know, just to get a laugh.
Now Bort, THATS a real zombie. Bort was the zombie the park hired to keep the line for one of the "haunted houses/mazes" active. Playful Bort would slide around, making sparks fly from his knees and palms. He even told me where to buy the spark producing substance. His name wasnt always Bort, though. We named him that. He didn't seem to like it, but he accpeted it in the end. He suggested "Dead... BEAT!" as his name, but I think he got how stupid of a name that was when I let out a huge, uncharacteristic laugh. After we got out of the maze, he asked us how it was, and was a bit worried that we answerd "fun." Monica and I want to go back next weekend to see if Bort is still there, and if he'll still remember us. He HAS to remember us! We were the only two that went as far as to make friends with poor dead Bort.
Well, I think thats enough update for one night. Its sleep time now. Well, either sleep or feast on the brains of the living... oops, too much information... bye!
Friday, October 9th
Song of the moment: "Mephesto and Kevin" Primus and Chef
first of all, everyone needs to hear the song of the week, especially if your a South Park fan. Its pure genious.
Howard is really sleepy. I actually did some homework this weekend, unlike last weekend, when Marion was here. He was here this weekend too, along with Eric. They've been playing this Yu Gi Oh game for Playstation, which is pretty cool to watch. I was laying in the bed falling asleep all day. Fun times...
Lets see... what else is going on in my life... Oh yeah, I took the SATs on Saturday. I think I did pretty good. Marion had the same test center as me, so he spent the night and we went together. We ended up getting the same room, too, which was pretty cool. Elen and Renee were at the same place too, but they had a different room. For my first SAT, I think I did good. I hope I dont have to take it again, because that'd suck. Im taking the SAT2 some time in november...
Stupid college stuff. I hate it. Why dont they just send you to some college, without you getting to pick? That would save people time. Yup. I dont have time to go online and get...things.
Time for sleep, for it is 11. Good night everyone!
Friday, October 9th
Song of the moment: "Huboon Stomp" Devo
Howard wakes up one morning to find a big suprise in his room.
::Yaaawwnn!:: Wow! What a great sleep that was! Today is going to be the best! I shall smile all the way to school, where I will learn and become a better human being! Ouch! what is this box I just ran into? Why, its a new computer! A Compaq Persario, pentium 4 2.0 ghz with CD-R and DVD drives, along with 256 megs of ram. How strange. I better hook it up in the front room, where the old one that broke used to be. That way, everyone in the house can share my newfound welth! ::Bows as curtans close.::
Almost a true story...
So yeah, my old computer broke last week, so I got a new one on monday.. I havent had much time to update because of homework and whatnot. But now, lookie here. An update.
Nothing much has happend...well, the whole computer thing... but since then(then being monday), everything has seemingly gone back to normal(whatever that is..). In fact, things are more normal than ever. On a scale from one to ten, ten being super normal, and one being some kind of freaky un-normal like state that is seemingly normal, I'd say that I rank somewhere in the 9 area of normalness. Not quite a 10, because I dont concider homework normal.. in fact, I concider it quite unnormal. But anyways...
That reminds me! Michelle, Thanks for signing the guestbook and reading the site =) I love ya!
Okay, its time for me to go now. I am wanted back on my home planet.... And I have homework to do. And a CD to download songs for. Yeah. Bye!

Song of the moment: "Do you know where your coming from?" Jamiroquai
Jamiroquai rocks. Ok, heres the story.
Last week, I was trying to change out of my AP Gov class. I hate the way he teaches and junk, so I wanted to get out. Now, the fact that they never called me in pissed me off alot, but yesterday, they finally called me in. Now, Ms. Frankenstin(yeah, thats her name...) is my new coucler as of this week, i guess, and she didnt want me to change my class. Rosenswieg would have changed it, hes just a pushover like that... Frankenstine actually councles. So anyways, I was sad all day yesterday, but now Im fine. Ive been down all week, actually. Between school work pissing me off(I actually had a break down on tuesday night(the peak of my depresson), where I couldnt do any homework), and the stuff between Michie and I, there hasnt been much time for happiness. But today Im fine. Today Im Howard again, for the first time in a while. It was a really sunshine day, even though there was no sun out today, which maybe explains alot.
And Monica, you have to come to school everday, your the one that keeps me happy.
So anyways, thats my week. Nothing really happend today. I forced Levi to listen to the Hives, but thats about it.
IMs await me so I am away!
Monday, September 23th
Song of the moment: "Midnight Special" Love Machineguns, from Guitar Freaks
Its been a week. A whole freakin' week. And you guys missed it all. Shame! Its not like anything happend, though. Well, stuff did, but its the kind of stuff that I dont usually put on the site. So really if you only know me from my site, you wouldnt know anyways! Ha!
So Animal Crossing is the best game ever. I seriously cant think of a more addicting game.. the consept is just bizzar, the way I like it. Its a multiplayer game, without the multiplayer. You could play by yourself, but its just that much harder. You'll have no extra fruits to grow and sell, and you wont get as much money or other characters. Basically there is no goal to the game. You play it how you want to play it. You could go to other peoples towns(that is, of course, if you have their memory cards) and send mail and interact with their characters(and get them to move to your town), and post stuff on their message board, like "your gay" and "return Bob the Cat by October 8th or revenge will be got on you." That reminds me, the game takes place in real time, so when its 5 in real life, its 5 in the game.. unless your time is off, but thats another story. On Erics gamecube, I live in the future. So yeah, anyone who has a gamecube should go out and buy this game. like, now.
Thats all I have any passion to talk about right now, I'll update more tomorrow. yes I will. Kinda. Sorta.. Maybe... no. no updates tomorrow. sorry.
Monday, September 16th
Song of the moment: "Cats on Mars" Cowboy Bebop
Now I usually dont update when Im depressed. Its not my style. I dont like to be seen as a whiney depressed kid with no friends, even though thats how I really am. ...Not really. Anyways, you guys wanted an updated site, so Im giving it to you. I guess if I think hard enough, I can get a few things to talk about.
Saturday was Katties big, humongus birthday bash. At Fuddruckers(some resturant..), I hung out mainly with Michelle and Marion.. And Michelle bought me lunch(thanks Michelle! I love ya), so I didnt spend any money... its not like I had any money, but still. Anyways, at the resturant they had Surge. SURGE. THE SURGE. I dont think I need to say anymore. After that, I had to go, because some people wanted to take my senior pictures. It sucked because everyone but Marion and I went to see a movie, and I wanted to see a movie, instead of taking stupid pictures in a tux.
So the next day(Sunday, for those who dont know what comes after Saturday), Marion, Brian and I desided to go to Six Flags. Its been a while since I last went and it showed. Im actually soar today from not going in more than a month... As soon as the park opend, we ran to X. That was the whole reason we wanted to go, actually... Anyways, about X. Its a great ride. The feeling of not knowing where your going is very unusual and it feels really funky if you ask me. I really like the ride, though. The only drawback is that its too short. The ride was over as soon as it began.
The good thing about running to X was that everyone else wanted to do the same thing, but they still had to wait to get into the park(Muahaha). When we got off, the line for X was full. We went down to Deja Vu, and the line was empty. Catch my drift? Like half the park was at X, and we had the rest of the park to ourselves.... There was actually a longer line for Viper than for Deja Vu. We rode everything, since there was no lines(in order: Deja Vu, psyclone, riddlers, batman, goliath, colosus(2 times in a row, once later on in the day)), and was basically done by noon. We spent like 2 hours overall in the arcade, too, even though none of us had money. We watched all the "n00bs" play DDR and we laughed at them. It was fun.
Thats basically it. There is some personal stuff that happend(hence the whole depressed thing), but the people who need to know about that know who they are, and of course I'll tell them asap. And if you dont know if your one of the people or not, then you probably arent.
Thursday, September 12th
Im at school right now... its lunch time and Im pretty bored... I was sitting at a computer and thought "Hey, I'm bored, I'll work on my site!" And so I did... I added the counter again, and this time it only counts once per computer, so my numbers will be more accurate than the 2000 I had before it died. Thats about it for now... keep signing the guestbook everyone.
Wensday, September 11th
Really quick update tonight. I got rid of the Crapbook that didnt work, and now I have this new slick Bravenet guestbook. Everyone should check it out. Thats about all the news I have for you tonight.... I have faild you.
Tuesday, September 10th
As of this momemnt, the Dreambook still Dreamsucks.
Im still singin' along to the oldies. And by oldies, I mean Pokemon, of course. Geeze, if you didnt get that, your pretty slow. Geeze... I mean.. geeze... But seriously, what suprises me about this cd is the ammount of effort and energy in it. Do you realized that someone has to actually write, sing, and play the instraments in every song? Its amazing... the singers are all dramatic and stuff. Great CD. ...This guy sounds like Michael Jackson...
SO DEL TACO... I stayed afterschool with Monica for like 10 minutes 'cause she begged me to and I cant leave one of my best friends just sitting there alone... So after Monica was picked up and safely in the car, I walked down to Del. I sat with Jen and Christina and Elizabeth... it was really crouded half the time.. like everyone left at about 2:30 or so and it was half empty.. pretty strange if you ask me. Jen and I had this Batman/Spiderman debate, and in my opinion, I won. I didnt even have to debate and I won. Thats how it was, yo. They came up with the stupidest reasoning... Batman dosent need superpowers, Batman is stronger, Batman can fly! Batman is Hot! Batman is Rich! OHHH!! Because hes an old rich man(and apparently "hot"), hes a better superhero? Psh!!!! PSH!!!
So yeah. That was basically my day. Oh the stories I could tell, but I wont, because Im tired and lazy and still have homwork to do. So, I guess what Im saying is... bye...
Monday, September 9th
Ive been trying for like over 30 minutes to get a guestbook up and running(thats for the sugestion Sabrina, my only reader). I found this Dreambook site but its Dreamturning out to be Dreamcrap. I was actually in the mood to update for the first time in a while, too... Now Im really tired. Stupid guestbook... with the power of making.. sleep..ness...
There were a few things that I've been meaning to mention but now I guess they'll have to wait because within the last hour two things have come up that have taken my brain hostage until I release them here on this page for your vewing pleasure. And by "your," of course Im talking to Sabrina, my only reader.
Hi Sabrina... how are you?
Continuing... The first thing is that I have recently come across a CD that I had forgotten about in the past. Its possible that the reason I forgot about it is because I never actually had it, but for whatever reason, it escaped me for a few years. Of course, I am speaking of the wonderful album, 2 B A Master. This innovative mix of genres, from the power rock of "Pokemon Theme", to the gangster rap of "What kind of Pokemon are you?", to the high energy dance beat of "Pokemon (Dance Mix)", never gets old. Its had me singing in the shower for about one day now, seeing as I only started listening to it at about 9 o'clock tonight. I am convinced that the PokeRAP is better than any song on FM radio at the moment(its almost 11 pm, people...err, sabrina..).
The second thing is that Jen is going to Del tomorrow. Now Im not normally a regular, as you could tell by Shants constant bitching about me coming on his site. I guess he told Jen about the whole Del thing(or she read it on his site... Im not sure, of course), and she desided to bring her posse of rough tough gangsters to "crash the party" so to speak. And I told her I'd sit with her. Yup, thats about it.
So there you have it. Oh yeah, notice the new quote, too.. its a good one. BYE!!!
Tuesday, September 4th
This has to be the slowest week ever. I can see how people can mistake, say a monday for a tuesday, but you know the week is going slow when it feels like youve been in school for 2 WEEKS and its only the second day.
Speaking of school... yesterday was the first day, and I didnt update. Why!? Because... I dunno. I was tired or something. "But Howard, arent you tired right now?" ....Who told you that? NO ONE is aloud to know THAT!!!! Yes. I am tired. Very tired. And hot. Its been really hot this week... I liked the comment Shant made on his site, about somebody turning up the sun when school starts. I thought it was funny, but then again, Im the strange one in our relationship of reader and writer.
Speaking of which, who still reads this site anyways? I know Shant does whenever I tell him that I update, which is only half the time.... Alex? You still here? What about you Leni and Sabrina? Let me know!!!!! Im so lonely...
Last thing... I'll tell you about school some other time... I still havent found a new guestbook, counter, and... you know, whats its called... Its not so much that I haven't found them, just that I havent exactly looked. Ive been busy since like last thursday. Expect that over the weekend or something... I dunno. Stop bugging me.
Hi Michie, I love you. Come to my site!
I know you want me to write more, but thats all the time they gave me. You can turn off now.
Saturday, August 31st
So school starts in two days. Such news arouses both good and bad feelings deep within my...um...heart, I guess. Examples of good news include(but are not limited to): Getting to see Michell. Getting to see Monica. Getting to see Jen. Getting to see Shant. Getting to see Marion. Getting to see Scott. Getting to see Leni. And hurring up and ending this thing they call High School. I think the bad examples are pretty obvious.
Today(well last night, actually), Marion came over. And if that wasnt enough to stop your heart, get ready for this. ...Ready? He brought his brand new copy of Mario Sunshine, only on the Nintendo Gamecube, with him. Needless to say, funtimes were had. Its the type of game that you could have fun just watching someone play. The graphics rock, and the music is reason enough to buy the game(especially the levels with the acapella version of the Mario Theme). Possibly the best game out on Gamecube at the moment. So everyone, go and buy it. Even if you dont have a Gamecube. Miyamoto will love you forever if you do.
Other than Mario Sunshine, other activites this weekend included Pokemon cards, slurpees, and... um.. thats about it. We were going to go to Six Flags, but I couldnt get a ride... Oh well, theres always tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow... Im going to Hot Topic to get some shirts for school. Yeah. Thats about it.
That concludes this episode of Howard, the boy who loves soda. Tune in next time when Howard gets caught stealing, with suprising results.
Thursday, August 29th
Hey internet people. Whats up? How have you been? Me? Good.. Good.
There seems to be a lack of interesting things happening to me this week. Im sure its not my fault.
Well, I finished part of my summer assignment that I mentioned in the last update, and Im working on the other part. That book was so boring...
Well this is a pretty crappy update, isnt it? Its not my fault! I swear!!
I'll go back to my cave now...
Monday, August 27th
Im not proud of what I did today, but its done. It had to be done... After thinking about it for a while, it dosent seem like I actually did that much, anyways. That goes to show you how big my concious is... it sucks, kinda. Oh well... If you want to know what I'm talking about, Email me and I'll tell ya. Lets just say this is the closest to having a gig of HD space free we've ever been.
Shant has been updating his site alot lately. More than me, thats for sure. My only complaint is the lack of Howard on his Email me to hear it.
The comic is basically split into two different parts; the part that actually has a story and the part that dosent. I drew some characters, and instead of having them just do one gag strips like Penny Arcade, which just happens to be my favorate strip, by the way, I desided to do one gag strips that CONNECTED with eachother. Of course, the're funny, and I try to give the characters a unique feel to each of them, so that the're more believable.. I guess. The non-story strips are basically about me and my friends, they have an inside joke or two in them, and are more along the lines of Penny Arcade and Movie Comics. pretty straight forward.
Marion's hard drive is screwed up, so hes off the computer for a few days, which is good because he has summer assignments to take care of this week.
As do I. Today, I read 60 freaking pages out of my Woodrow Wilson biography, and I have 80 left, which I'll try to finish tomorrow. I spent more time reading today than I have any other book in one day. Im quite proud of myself, actually. Heres my problem, though... theres two teachers teaching AP Government: Mr. Light and Ms. Goodman. I have the Ms. Goodman reading list. Im not sure if Ms. Goodman teaches AP Gov 5th period or not. Im in AP Gov 5th period. Which means, if you follow me, that I am possibly in Mr. Light's 5th period AP Gov class! Is this a good thing or a bad thing? According to Hakim Hakim, Mr. Light has no AP Gov reading list. Where he got this information, I dont know. But if its true, Im waisting alot of my life reading this Woodrow Wilson biography. If it isnt true, then I might have to waist even more of my life reading some other book durring the first two weeks of school, while the other homework(from the infamous AP Calculus and the unheard-of Shakespear class). Curses is all I have to say.
I fooled you all!!! It is not Monday anymore. No no, I tricked you into thinking so! I am clever, no? It was all an ingenious plan to make me tired enough to fall asleep!! Ha! and its working, too! I am so sleepy right now! Time for bed!
Oh yeah, I have a beard growing out of my head now. Expect pictures later(I tried tonight, but they all came out crappy).
One more thing... Dont walk around at 3 in the morning in the dark if you have futon chairs in the middle of your living room floor. They like to pounce on unsuspecting feet.
Friday, August 23th
Yesterday, Marion updated his site, and today, Shant updated his. I desided to follow the trend, like some kind of.... um....you know, something that follows someone. Im not saying that updating your site is the trendy thing to do(how many trendy people do you know with websites?), I just mean that I dont want to be left behind... I have to keep my loyal readers!!! No loyal readers, you say? Well... you right... sigh.
Its pretty late at night right now. Its actually saturday, but Im calling it friday, so that it dosent seem like Im so lazy. Whos to say that I didnt start typing this BEFORE midnight?
Monica and I have engaged in a picture trading contest. It happend right after she signed my guestbook, too, which is suprising she didnt do it before.... And if you read her signature, look at the picture at the top, read her signature again, and still dont get it, you need to watch more zim, specificly the first episode... IMO, one of the best. Well, that and the Tak episode.. Tak rocks so hard...
To all of my Camp Hyrule friends that may be reading this... Hi! I'll email you guys eventually... Im pretty lazy, you know.
Im ramblin' ...nothing really important to say. I want to go to six flags, but noone wants to go with me. I am sad. Bye all!
Saturday, August 17th
So today wasn't as big as I thought it would be.
First off, Marion and Shant came, as expected. Jen also came, but she only came at 4(Marion got here at 10, Shant got here at 12), and only could stay for like an hour and a half, which sucked majorly. We didnt get to talk that much, which is something I really wanted to do. We only played Risk a few times, and Melee a few times, alot of the time we were just watching tv. I was really tired the whole day, on account that I went to sleep at 2 in the morning and got up at 5:30. And I'm sick. So blah.
On top of today, my mom says I can't go to Six Flags tomorrow with Jen. Something about not having any money... I really wanted to go, Ive been looking forward to it all week... ::sigh:: oh well, theres always next week..
Well, bye...
Friday, August 16th
Tomorrow is the big day. A day such as tomorrow comes not often. One where you face a crossroads. A day that will change your life.. forever.
Well, not really. Its just the "Risk Party" that somehow got created in the past week, and turned into this huge thing, so many people that they all cant play Risk at the same time. And Risk is a 6 player game. Do you get where Im going with this? more than 5 people are coming over, I guess..
The Risk roster includes the strangly tall Marion, the abnormaly..um..strange(?) Shant, and the ultra cute Jen. Guest apperances MIGHT be made by the Molassas cookie eating Monica, short girl Leni, and her partner in crime, Kattie. Alex was invited too, but I doubt he'll show. This Eric kid might be there too... we might have to keep him in line somehow. A large mallet of some sort should do the trick.
You might be asking yourself what one does at a Risk party. The answer is simple, my friend. So simple, in fact, I'm not going to explain it here.
After the great fun of throwing a risk party on Saturday, I'm going to have even greater fun with Jen at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Sunday. A fun-filled afternoon of Roller Coasters Rides, Carnival Spies, and maybe a Big Suprise. But whats even better than words that rhyme is spending time with Jen. Ohhhh yeah. I can't wait. Its going to, as some say, "rock."
In other news, since I didnt mention it earlier in the update, where it would have been appropriate, we(as in, Shant, Marion and I) found a way to play Risk online. I say "found a way" because it is quite possibly illegal(thats to Marion for the spelling of that very hard word).
I guess thats all. Check out Marion's Site. Its worth it.
Bye!
Monday, August 12th
Ok, time to update the 'ol site....
About a month ago, the laptop that I used to update the site, well, broke. And because my last name is Henry(thats right, HENRY), we havent had it fixed yet. Im using the family PC right now, which is about 4 or 5 years old, and only has a 4 gig hard drive, 3.6 of which are already occupied. Thats one of the reasons I havent updated lately. The other is that Im lazy.
You may be wondering what Ive been up to since I havent been updating my site. Well, at six flags, Ive become a regular. My trips to the theme park have been compaired to me walking to the kitchen. Ive been talking to Jen alot more, too. Other friends, like Marion, Shant, Scott, and Monica have been over my house lately. Outside of my so-called social life, Ive been trying to do some creative things, too. I started a comic strip that Ive been scanning into my computer, and cleaning up and lettering with MS Paint. I signed up for an account at Keenspace, but I havent gotten my free webspace yet. Once I get it, I'll start my comic. Tycho over at Penny Arcade talks about how its impossible to make an income on free services like Keenspace, but thats fine with me, for now... Ive also had an idea for a new site, but I havent started on it yet, on account of my crappy PC.
Ive been asking for a new computer for the longest time.. by my count about 3 years. I still dont have my own, so I guess Im stuck with this one for now. My mom said by my birthday, we should be caught up on all of our bills and stuff, and if everything goes to plan, the computer shall be mine.
In addition to just wanting a computer my room has also changed, like its ASKING ITSELF for a computer. I present to you...
Howards Room Project, August 2002(I am assuming you've looked at the other page about my room already)
Heres what you see when you first walk in. You'll notice that the bed is close to the door, now, turned the other way.

Heres the door from the other side of the room. Its got pictures and stuff up on it now. The wall has some posters.. Mario Tennis, Batman, and Metroid 2, Return of Samus(for gameboy).
...And this is where I took the last picture from! This is the spot where my computer is going to go.. In the corner, right under the window. I had it all planned out when I moved all the stuff around.
Heres another picture of the same spot... a really crappy picture, that is.
Another picture of the bed and wallscroll.
Heres my TV, and...
My precious antique cans.
First, a little backstory before I get to today.
Remember the last update when I basically complained about this site so much? How I want to start a new site, and screw this one? Well, I still feel that way. Even more so now. This site has become a pain... My biggest(and possibly only) reader, Alex, seemed pissed at me when I told him I wasnt going to update one day last week. Durring the time when I usually updated before(between 8 and 10:30), I usually had like 1 or 2 IMs and could both hold conversations and update at the same time. But recently, since summer started, I've been getting alot more IMs and chats. The usual summer rush is back... All of my friend who I hardly talked to durring the school year I am suddenly talking to again, and I like it. It just feels like a waist of time to update durring that time... Theres that, and the fact that I'm really lazy and really moody. So, what I'm basically saying is don't expect usual updates for a while. I'll update every once in a while to let you know I'm still alive, but I guess thats about it for now. Hopefully, I'll get a new site up, along with some other cool stuff, If I can get some help, that is. So everyone complaining that this site sucks, you win. Your right. Look for un-sucky stuff in the future..
Today, I promised my Aunt and Grandma that I'd help them move some stuff. So I got up earlier than usual, got picked up(along with Kiah, my cousin), went to their house, moved some stuff, the basically hung out for the whole time. Seriously, there was nothing there that they really needed me for(I sware my aunt is stronger than me...). Out of a whole day of being out there(from about 11 til 7), I only worked for about an hour or less, and that was just moving boxes from my grandmas to the car, taking them to my aunts house and unloading them, then repeating. On top of that, I was depressed the whole day, for no real reason, and it sucked. The only time I got a break was when I went with my grandma to get some boxes from the U-Haul place, and I got to listen to the radio in the car(Kiah hates all the music that I listen to, and so does my aunt... Im sure my grandma does too, but shes too nice to not let me listen to it =) ). The whole time I was thinking about getting home and calling Karoly, and just relaxing, then going online and chatting with people that make me happy!! But when I got here, guess what? The phone is out. We didnt pay the bill, so were phoneless for now... and Im friendless for now. As much as I dont like to use the phone(which is lessening by the day, I might add), I sure do depend on it alot. Its my only escape, seeing how I dont have very many friends near me. I'll be here bored, hot, and depressed now until we get the phone on... lucky me. Well, at least Im getting paid(key word: getting, I didnt get it yet..) for the work I did. Now Karoly and I can go out on Sunday, if I can get in contact with her...
So thats my story. Until next time I update, stay safe. bye!
Sorry about the lack of updates... lately I have been away from my(heh) laptop... for some reason I started to use the PC again.
Ive been thinking alot lately, and this site is...well... strange. I want to do a site, and a personal one, but theres just some things that I cant or wont say to the public; stuff that I want to keep to myself. And when I leave stuff like that out, the updates tend to be...boring. Maybe Im doing the wrong kind of site. I'm thinking about revamping the whole thing, and changing everything about it... I dont know right now, Im too depressed. The trouble is that when you start a site, you only want to update it if your motivated... If your depressed or tired or hot or cold or constipated, you dont want to update as much.
I started talking to Karoly again... On Saturday, Karoly, Elena, lilmeow, Marion, and I went to the arcade and had fun! I won this bugs bunny plushie that I was going to give to Karoly, but she didnt take it. So its mine now, I guess.... There isnt much to say, I guess.
Arg, Im not in the mood right now, I'll update later.
First off, sorry Miyako(see message board)
Saturday: I PURCHASED THE HIVES! Howards got the Hives, oh yea. That was the high and low point of the day...
On Sunday, I went to Six Flags with Marion and Brian. Marion was too tall for Deja Vu, which Brian and I have deemed the most extreem of them all!(it would have been X, but it was closed for the 3rd week in a row...) Also, I saw Danielle at Goliath. When I was getting on(or when I was towards the front of the line, before it broke down), she was getting off, then waiting for her friends(or her sisters friends, or her sister, or something like that. she was just waiting for someone, OK?!). It sucked cause I wanted a hug... =(
Monday I was reunited with my VBS(vacation bible school) buddies: Sarah the tallest; Kat the almost tallest; Terry the funny; Kiah the somethingsomething; Sarah the wise. There are some new ones, too: Gordon the young; Jenny the new(?); ...thats about all the new people I know. I'd say we were back to our old selves, but its way different than last year, at least from my prospective. Since I didnt talk, I felt left out and stuff. Now that I do talk(and alot, I might add), I feel more part of the group. I can even make Terry laugh now, and I take pride in that.
Marion came to VBS today, and Dolly(the director, and mother to one of the many Sarahs) put him to work. He had to build a set basically from scratch, with help from this other kid Nicole. After the whole thingie, we went to Carls Jr. and bought some food(yea! food!), of course. Harrison(one of the Sarahs and Kats lil brother) was bugging Marion all day, and bouncing off the walls like always(hes a typical movie little brother, the kind that looks up to the older kids..). Back at the church, we played cards and planned on watching a movie, but never got around to it. Terrys mom took us home, we got some free cds(mine suck...), and basically thats all.
Alex, good luck on your trip, and I hope you keep in contact while your gone. Take it easy and get some rest.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE!
I had a whole update planed out in my head, but I forgot about it... that was like 2 hours ago, you know.
Miyako, you know why you think the site is boring? Its because we have totaly different interests... Like, its pretty strange.... Remember back last year, around this time, when we first met? We used to think we had everything in common? Isn't it weird how we have nothing now? Isn't it weird that your better friends with Shant Marion and Alex than you are with me now? I was just thinking about it, and were so far apart now, Miyako. I just wanted to point that out. You still come to the site, even though you think it sucks, and its boring, thats strange too... eh...
Shant, I wanted to see Lilo and Stich! You suck!
It still hasn't sunk in that today(or yesterday.. who knows?) is(was) the last day of school. The only reason I'm even considering today the last day was because Michelle was there. I really wasnt expecting to see her, especially because she told me she wasnt coming. I came to get into my brothers graduation, which for some reason was at Birmingham, and they wouldnt let Shant in cause he didnt have any relatives at the school, and I didnt want to be bored so I walked around with him for a while. Until 10, to be specific... and we went to the circle, for no reason, and found Michelle. She told us she was trying to find some senior friends cause she wanted to say goodbye to them... You could tell she was upset. We ended up in Ms Sutherlands room, playing cards... With Sergio. Stupid Sergio, he ruined the moment. It was the last hour that I would get to see Michelle until september, and he was there being annoying and everything...
I didnt get to say bye to Jennifer Miller.
School is over. Its still a hard concept to grasp. Everyone who I talk to all the time now, with the execption of Scott, Marion, and JeeHee, I started talking to durring the second semester. Its really a shame that I didnt talk more earlier on. I litereally met like 20-30 people durring the second semester alone. At least they werent seniors.. not all of them.
I'm still saddend by the whole Michelle thing. (almost)Everyone else who I really talk to, and like to talk to, I will talk to(and probably see) durring the summer, except for Michelle. IF she dosent go to england, I guess we'll still talk on the phone, but I would like to think that she gets to go to england.
Im hungry, and theres popcorn, so I think I'll end this here. Bye!
Hi everyone, remember me?
I havent updated for a while, and seeing how I'm not doing anything right now, I guess I will.
Today was basically the last day of school. It was fun. In first period, we just played cards. Scott taught me this cool game... I cant remember what its called.. but you have a a killer, doctor, police, and civilians... it plays out like a murder mystery. Really freakin cool.
In period two, I went to Scotts class, along with Shant and Kalust(i dont know how to spell his name..). We just hung out in there and played cards again. Marion came like halfway though the period, and they continued to play while I ate my usual breakfast(cheese nips and mountain dew).
At nutrition we picked up Michelle and she hung out with us for a while. We left Shant, and Kalust went somewhere... Marion hooked up his Gamecube and PS2 in Mr. Wailens class, and we played in there. Michelle, Scott and I went to Mr. Kofahl to find out our grades, and lets just say none of us were happy. Scott and I went back to Mr Wailen, and Michelle went to Ms. Sutherland. Durring 4th period, Mr. Wailen kicked us out for a while, he had to go do something. We walked around to Mr. Gilberts room, picked up Shant, who was waiting for Arline, who came with us too. Jennifer also was around and followed us. So we had our little group walking around school, it was pretty cool. We were looking for Michelle(we didnt know she was in Sutherland), and we found Hakim and Lucas on the way, and somewhere along the line, Ricktophen came with us too... We got Michelle, Sutherland kicked us out, we went back to Wailen, and set up the games again.
The next periods kinda blured together. Scott, Michelle, and I walked between Mr. Derrys class and Mr. Wailens class so many times... At lunch, Scott left, and the three of us walked to the gate together(the group split up for various reasons after that). It was funny, he had to hop the gate and it took him like 3 trys... Michelle missed him even though he was gone like 2 minutes... it sucks cause she probably wont see him again until next year.
Eventually, Marion, Michelle, Hakim and I went back to Wailens class. Michelle wanted to go to Mr Derry again, so I walked her and stayed for a while. I guess Marion got bored cause after a while, he came into Mr Derry with us. I wanted to go back to Wailen, so I walked Michelle walked the two of us back again. Michelle wanted to go back to Derry, so guess what I did? I walked her back, just in case I didnt see her for the rest of the day(which I did). We said bye and huged, then I went back to Wailen.
All this is still 5th period, mind you
Hakim wanted to go to the yearbook room to find the rest of the group again, and this whole thing happend where Jennifer closed the door on us. Hakim wanted to find out if Jennifer hates him, so we went back to Derry to ask Michelle to ask her, then Hakim left and I stayed in Derry again, basically until school was over. It turns out that Jennifer DOES hate Hakim =P.
I hung out in Derry cause I was tired of playing gamecube all day. We(Michelle, Nora, Rebecca, and I) played hangman, and like half way though the period, Jennifer and Kosar came in. I signed Kosars yearbook... we didnt really talk the whole year, but she said I was cool so I signed =P. I told her she hasnt seen the weird side of me, and I dont think she understood what that meant exactly. Michelle said "What? You didnt know Howard was weird?"
Towards the end, I went to Kofahl to get my grade, and my cd from Marion, and by the time I got back to Derry, everyone was gone. I got all spaztisc because I was worried I wasnt going to get to say by to Michelle, and school was over. So I walked marion to his bus, and Michelle was in the parking lot. I was glad she didnt go yet. As soon as I came, I gave her a big hug, cause we dont hug in front of her mom or anyone, and I had to make sure I got a hug in. I waited with her until her brother came, and snuck in another hug when noone was looking.
Ever since then Ive been a little depressed. I miss her already... I hope shes still able to go to England, it'll suck if she dosent... Either way, I wont be able to see her again until next year. It sucks.
Well, bye.
HI!
I'm writing this offline because I know if I go online, I'll end up not writing it.
So today, I want to my lil cousin Cody's birthday party. All I did was play Halo a few times then left. Everyone was swimming, and I wasnt exactly in a swimming mood... So I walked to Shants house and stayed there until around 6 or 6:30. It was cool, I guess. We played some RPGs, watched the internet broadcast of the KROQ weenie roast, and listend to music the whole time. Better than sitting in Cody's hot room.
When I got home, like 2 hours ago, I finished up the letter I was writing to Heather, and wrote in Michelle's "yearbook." She refuses to call it a yearbook, and for good reason. Its more of a letter book. She gets her friends every year to write her a letter in this little book she has. And its pretty fun, too. Mine was 5 pages, and I wanted to let her know I care about her in it. I gotta find her monday morning and give it to her before first period.
I have to do some projects for monday morning tomorrow... A timeline thingie that Sabrina, Shant and I are doing for History, and a research paper I gotta do for English. The history is easy, I just gotta find 5 pictures and write alittle about them. The english one will take a little more BSing for me to pass. My research isnt exactly there, and I havent read the play Im doing it on yet. I have no idea what I'll do... oh well, I work better under pressure =).
Tim and I are supposed to be going back to six flags on Wensday just to ride X. Hopefully, it'll be open this time...
I have a new quiz about me, too! Email me if you want it.
I think thats about it, time for me to get online! yay! bye!
I know I promised an update tonight, but I have too much on my mind. I feel really... strange, so I cant write anything right now. I have an email to write. Update tomorrow. probabaly. bye.
No update in a week, isnt that amazing?
I skiped over the whole JeeHee thing, the...um...research paper... and...um...thats about it. Yesterday, after school, I went to Six Flags! It was me, Tim, Breanna, Megan, Marion, and Nicki. It was so fun... Tim is really funny, especially at Six Flags. Marion was fun too, as well as Nicki and Breanna. Megan was quiet. I screamed my head off on every ride, it was so fun.. Funny pictures, free refills, beating Tim in basketball, getting my souvaneer cup stolen. Good times.... Roaring Rapids is the best ride... X wasnt open, and DejaVu's line was too long...Superman is cool... Goliath is scary.
Well, thats about all there is to update about, I'll do another one tomorrow. I promise. A better one, too. Well, homework time! bye!
I havent updated since.... Sunday. Ive been kinda busy, not online much since then. Tuesday, I stayed home to do some Chemisty thingie, and to work on my extra credit for math. Today, I went to help my dad clean the preschool, since my mom was at the Brittny Spears concert. Wensday, I did my math homework, and the lakers won! And on Monday, nothing happend. Tomorrow, I dont know what Im doing, but you could bet that it'll have something to do with the arcade. Right now, I'm waiting for Michelle to call me...
Now, for your entertainment, a friends update! Not an update from a friend, but an update ABOUT my friends. First, online
Alex: Since hes is the main person that reads this site, he goes first! yay! Alex and I have been friends for a while, and nothing has changed. There really isnt much to say about that...
Miyako: Her and I still need to work things out. We were supposed to talk like last friday, but things got in the way, so we still havent discussed it. I havent talked to her since then. Hopefully, everything will turn out fine
Kayla: Her and I just started talking again. When I stayed home on friday, she was the only person online(since shes out of school already...stupid Florida...). Your fun to talk to, Kayla
Jenny: I know you cant read this, Jenny, but your a really cool friend, and I'm glad I have a sis like you =)
More tomorrow night! Its getting late, I guess Michelle isnt calling. Good night!
Coming up with a mood is pretty hard, isnt it Alex?
This weekend was pretty interesting. Alex introdused me to Futbol(Go Korea!), I started talking to Sarah again, went to the arcade THREE times, once with Monica, once with Meow Meow, the lakers won both of their games, wrote a letter to Michelle. Yup, that about covers it all. Home Movies is on now...
Nobody but Sarah is online, and I dont think Miyako wants to talk to me. Thats the only reason I updating... Now I cant wait until summer, because of VBS, but I dont want this school year to end. Its going by too fast. In the past few weeks, I've been talking to alot of people I didnt talk to earlier in the year, and it just seems like its too early to not see them for the whole summer. On the other hand, I also want to see Sarah, and Sarah, and Kat, and Terry, and Thomas again. I also want to see Shannon and Rachel, but they wont be there... This weekend(I hope) was kind of a preview for summer vacation. I stayed up late, and went places. I also missed people at school. Arg, I dont know how to feel(I so confused!).
Well, good night.
Ok, I want to talk about communication for a second.
Virtually every problem in the history of man has been because of a lack of communication. When people fight, its because they usually dont understand eachother. Either that, or someone holds in emotions or something like that, and refuses to express theirselves. Now, maybe I'm just BSing this whole thing, but its how I see it. If people effectivly communicate with one another, there will be less problems, and everyone will feel better. The two best ways to figure out something(I.E. how you really feel) is to either talk to someone(like a best friend) or write it out, either to a friend, or to yourself, like in a diary(like this one). When you think outloud(preferably to someone else, even if they aren't listening(what kind of friend would that be?)), you process the information better(kind of like reading outloud), and, in return, understand the situation better. When dealing with people, this really helps. So in conclusion.... TALK TO PEOPLE!!
Ok, now that I said that, on with the update! Today was an average, everyday...um.. day. I took more pictures, but stupidly deleted them all on accident while walking with Michelle. In those pictures, I had like 15 of Mr. Kofal that I was going to use for the website I'm doing for his class for extra credit. It'll be the best extra credit project ever! I'm planning on doing all the code tomorrow and over the weekend, as well as working on the images(I'm planning a graphic-heavy site). Of course, I'll post it here when its done.
Speaking of posting, Alex's site is up.
Well, thats all. Bye now!
I'm in the mood... for sleep! I am so tired tonight. Since I took a nap yesterday at like 4, I couldnt sleep last night, and it sucked. Anyways, today was pretty cool. The camera was taken to school, and pictures were taken(joy!). I'm not posting them unless the person that I took the picture of wants me to, since alot of people(mainly Kristine and Samantha) didnt want their picture taken. So tough cookies for you, my loyal readers. Theres a Math test tomorrow, and I'm not exactly sure if I know the stuff yet. And am I going to study anymore tonight? No. Am I going to study tomorrow? Yes. Am I going to do good on the test? Maybe...
While walking home today, I was thinking about the site(something I hardly ever do...), and I realized when I talked about Michelle and the hugging and stuff, I really opened up. That was like the first time I actually did that, I think.... Thats what the purpose of this site was going to be, but now that I have so many people reading the site(and people who I dont want to tell certain stuff), it dosent always(read:never) comes out. I just wanted to point that out to ya, so you know what my level of personalism(is that a word?) is.
Oh, and JeeHee beat me in Ghost today. Thats call for celebration.
While on the subject of websites... I proposed an idea to Alex yesterday for a joined website. You know, something that isn't a blog. I want to do a really professional site, but not by myself like this site(well, this site is more or less by myself...). But theres a catch. I wont do it until Alex learns HTML, since I dont want to do all of the coding myself... and the way to prove that he knows the launguage is to make his own site similar in style to this one! Yay!! I promise that he will have a site, and soon, and that I'll link to his in this spot right here. Im working on learning javascript right now(8 out of 30 primers down...), and Alex is going to learn another language, too, so our site will be really spiffy, you'll see. I dont know what it'll look like, or what it'll have. Maybe some game reviews, an online comic strip, other various things... who knows? Definately not me. Psh, who do you think I am, some kind of psychic?
That is all for now, good bye and good night.
Krazy Marion's Wacky Update Spectauclar 2
Hi there, this is Marion, and I'm updating again. this is pretty last minute, so you better not say it sucks, cause I'll know, and I'll hunt you down. Now that that's settled, on to the wonderful update! First up, Alex is the aleged 1000 visitor to howards site, but howard has striped him of the prestigious title on the grounds of cheating
Note from Howard: Werd
Alex promised that I'd do an update about comics, so I guess I gotta do one. Im not really pasionate about them. Heck, I dont even read alot(I.E. NONE!), I just like the idea of comics. The only 4 books that I've bougt were JtHM, Squee, Understanding Comics(which Im reading now), and Reinventing Comics. Comics is a medium that is often underapreciated, and often looked at as a childs thing. I see comics as a bigger idea than that.
Personaly, I like online comics. I think that they are the wave of the future. Thats not saying that the print kind are going away any time soon. As of right now, its hard for online artist to get paid for their work. If they could, however, it'd be great, because they would cut out the middle man and give the product directly to the audience, which means cheaper prices for the product, and more income for the creator. Also, its easier to do things by yourself, which is cool with me. All this talk about comics this weekend has gotten me back into it, and I desided to restart my comic, which I should be doing right now, but instead Im writing this...
So tomorrow Im going to the arcade! yay! Chats are messing with me again... arg! forcing me to end this here... well, goodnight, and God Speed.
So drunk uncle Alex gets another update. Now as I sit here i wonder what can comics do for us. Yes comics are slowly becoming an important part of my life thanks to Howard Yet I ask myself what can comics really do in a persons life and what should comics books try to do.
Most of us know comics like Superman, Spiderman, X-men and others in that style. However Indy Comics, many lesser known, are what I feel the Comic book industry should move towards. Comics like JtHM are great comics that show what comics can be. Traditional comics are of course good (SPIDERMAN WE LOVE YOU) but comics i feel need to move in many diffrent dirrections.
ART IN COMICS IS NOT THE ONLY THING
If more comics had writing like this it would be great. Action is not the only thing that matters. A great example and personal recomindation for a comic is Love and Rockets. I draw comics even though i suck. Story in the end i feel is more important than anything. A good story can grip you better than a nice picture.
Good Stories and Written is what comics most need. Now my ideas are not really complete here because well its a big subject. Now I promise tommorow Howard will update about online comics which is what he's good at explaing his ideas. Until then you can read good online comics at PvPonline.com , Penny-Arcade.com and scottmccloud. com and check out the 4 page zim comic at

and i think you get the idea after that.
Good Night and until i build a site or update, This has been Drunk Uncle Alex Speaking lil kiddies.
Talk about the Zelda game worries me.
Marion has been saying that the new game will be good, but it wont be a true Zelda game. This disappoints me, especially coming from a fellow Nintendo fan like Marion. First of all, its Miyamoto! How could you ever doubt Miyamoto? Zelda is his baby, he wouldnt let anything bad happen to it. He knows that there are many hardcore Zelda fans and he wouldnt just dissapoint them. Alot of people bought the N64 just for OoT, and alot of people are buying a Gamecube just for this recent one. And he knows that, of course.
When Marion said that it wasn't a true Zelda game... we need to explore that. Marion says that Zelda has always been a more serious game, which I dont think is true. There is a lot of funny moment in the past games, and Link has always been alittle animated. This new game just stresses that. The orginal games didnt specify Links age. This is important because most people adopted the older zelda from Oot to be the norm. So, this new game is Zelda getting back to his roots, in a way. So what makes a Zelda game a Zelda game? Its not the look... According to Marion, its not Link your playing as, its just some cartoon taking his place. Just because this game looks different from the other games doesnt mean its not Zelda. Multiple reliable video game websites have said that the visuals are stunning. It may be the best looking Zelda game of all time, if not the best Zelda game overall. The game play is very close to the two N64 games, which reinforces my point. In alot of ways, its more Zelda-like than the N64 games. Was I the only one dissapointed with MM? That was less Zelda-like than this one. Zelda is about the exploration, and the boss fights, and the interaction with other characters. Its about getting into the game, about solving puzzles, about playing a really good video game, and knowing its one of the best games around. Zelda is NOT about how old Link is, or how big his eyes are(which I hear are very expressive, which is way cool), or how cool looking he is. Its about the GAME, not the GRAPHICS. Duh.
So as of today, the Scott/Michelle argument is still going on. It sucks, and I aim on resolving it if it isn't done with by tonight. I'm tired of Michelle being sad over this, and I'm tired of Scott, um, making Michelle depressed over this(or something). So tomorrow it'll be over with. Cause if it isnt...
NEW GAME!!! Pay attention. The name of the game is Ghost. Its called Ghost because it came from the old show Ghostwriter. Its a two player game, but today Shant and I played with Tim, so its possible with 3 people. So one person starts off with one letter, then passes it to the next person, who adds a letter. The first person to spell a word loses. Its simple. But you have to have a word in mind when you put your letter. In other words, you cant just put letters that dont make a word(like C, then H, then W, then Y). So play with your friends, and tell them to play with their other friends. Lets make it worldwide, people! And I beat JeeHee today, with "SHUCK." It was pretty funny and lead to good times...good times..

Oh yea, I didnt mention it earlier, but I have a little puppy at my house for the weekend... It was eating my pants, while I was wearing them. Its kinda strange.. My uncle went out of town for the weekend, so we have it until sunday. We have to keep it in the bathroom. Isnt that cool?!
