Wait. Did I say genocide? >.< Crap.

So after a crappy day at work, my friend was driving me home. We were being goofy, and just made the day a whole lot better. So, about 3 streets away from my house we're driving along and a -huge- owl flies in front of the car and perches in a tree just next to the road. I was absolutely stricken, it was great. It also got me thinking some...

( Spiritual thoughts... )

So, I'm going to start on Friday after school and progress to about now.

Friday afternoon- Got home from my half day, hung around on my computer until I had to leave; nothing special.

Friday Evening- Left home at about 4:30 to get to Plainville for an interview that I had for People to People (the Europe trip that I may be going on this summer). Dad and I drove, there was traffic, nothing really exciting.

Friday Night- After the Interview we made our way to Worcester to drop me off at the Chim party. I got some roleplaying that needed to be done, done, as well as getting in some spur-of-the-moment stuff. Kymmie and I picked up Will from the T-Station at one point, had some hilarious conversations. I talked with other people about this and that, and ended up hanging out upstairs for some more funny time.

Saturday Morning- After going home, Saturday morning didn't exist for me.

Saturday Afternoon and Night- Went in for my six hour work day, overall it wasn't bad. Bud came in with Renee and got some pizza, was extremely surprised to see me. We caught up, he and Renee ate, and they were on their way. The rest of the day went slow, until about 8:30 when we got a rush. Couple of real jerks came in, we dealt with 'em well enough. Couple of people came in from a basketball game that had apparently just gotten out. They were all really nice, but had quite a bit of food... @,@. After that we closed up, had to open back up in the last five minutes of the day to make this chick a buffalo chicken pizza, reclosed, then left =/

Sunday Morning- Didn't exist for me.

Sunday Afternoon- Mostly computer games, and stuff of that nature, same until now.

Aggrivated. My friend Zakk's girlfriend's down from Maine for today and tomorrow, him and I chilled today before he saw her. We all (Him, Her, bunch of other friends and Myself) went to a school football game. One of their plans was to hang out with a bunch of people at my friends house (usually things at his house tend to be a "let me know you're coming and it's cool" type of thing). I talked to the friend who's house we'd be at, and he said it'd be cool if I came.

Soo. I let Zakk know about it and he gave me all this shit, how it was only supposed to be him, his girlfriend, Twinky (Kid w/ the house), his girlfriend, and one other random person. Now, apparently he texted Twinky and after the course of two hours, while Twinky's at a dance, the situation changed and I can't go.

Some best friend, 'eh?

I don't plan on going anymore, but I still wanna find out whether or not this 'texting' happened. Either way, it's pretty shitty stuff.

Sorry everyone, aggravated.


Edit: Just found out that about 75% of that conversation was based on a lie on his part... awesome.

So, I decided that today was eventful enough for me to step up and post.
I woke up, school day was pretty much no work day. On Monday our SAT prep teacher will be running to Dunky's for us before class (huzzah!), we did nothing in that class at all. History was aggravating to say the least. Debates among entire classrooms never work, some people are just too short minded and get heated too easily... it leads to shouting, interruptions and chaos. English, we discussed some things and did some reflective worksheets on Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne's work... not too hard. Chem was fun, we took an easy quiz, I practiced a game that if we get 0 mistakes on we'll get 4 points added to our final grade (it's Chemistry related, no worries) while everyone else did a worksheet (Yeah, I'm good like that). We then proceeded to watch this movie about bird migration... I wasn't interested so I asked to go speak with another teacher of mine (Mr. McNabb, freshman English, awesome guy). I spent almost 45 minutes out of the classroom, came back and explained that I got deep into a conversation with him and lost track of time (Mostly true...ish).

Then school ended... went home, played on my computer a bit (this and that). I got through a round of "Vampire: The Masquerade- Survival Mode" with a few of the guys I play with online. It's fun, we take our VtM characters and put them in a room, the ST throws waves of increasing size and difficulties of enemies at us. It's no roleplay, non-canon fun-ness of death and destruction.

Then I made some last minute adjustments to my B&W shirt, I think it looks pretty nice.

Now's where the day gets really... interesting(?)

My friend Zakk and I went to go see Saw IV. For background information on this:
He works at Sal's Pizza in Tyngsboro, and has a lot of fun working there... I happen to need a job. I put in an application last week.
So he told me that one guy didn't show up today, no call or anything... he's getting the boot tomorrow and I'm on the top of the applications list (yay!)

So, we got to the theater and the ticket lady wasn't having a good day. She was all scowls... amusing but unfortunate. The movie was awesome... not a disappointment whatsoever... really compliments the rest of the series (especially Saw III, bleh). If you go see it: pay close attention to the beginning stuff... it's important; also make sure you've seen all the others... it's important.

Got home, and this is what put a huge damper on my day:

As of a few days ago, one of my friends stopped contacting me (It was odd, I talked to them almost everyday prior to that). Naturally, I was curious. A few other things happened that confused me as well, leading me to become concerned. I talked with another one of my friends who is able to contact them more easily than I am, and had them find out what was going on.

Turns out they made a really bad decision, and they're now facing the consequences. I'm extremely disappointed to hear this, and overall I'm aggravated. The more I think of it, the more bitter I'm getting...

I'm going to end this here, I've written a huge amount already and I'll just end up bitching if I continue.

Good night, see some of you at B&W
We watched the movie,

The 18th century is when the Yakuza originated... Could I possibly have been an Asian Mob Boss? Lol.

So today wasn't bad, stayed home from and decided not to work with my dad.  Hung out for a while, played some Battlefield: Vietnam...

So I was playing and my parents came in and acted the whole mad at me role, then they handed me a very official looking letter.  I opened it and started to read... turns out People to People Student Ambassador Programs was impressed with my PSAT scores and wants me to participate in one of their overseas program.  I'd be going to Belgium, France, England, Wales, Ireland, and The Netherlands over twenty days next summer doing a bunch of stuff that I'm extremely interested in... there's an information meeting on the 14th of October that I'm excited for.

It's going to be a lot of money, so I need to start trying to find ways to collect as best I can... heh... that's the biggest thing that makes me nervous.

We'll see how things go... I'm very excited.

Feast of Folkestone was fun, but unfortunately Questing was a disappointment.  I had fun fighting 5-foot and shield, but I had a very hard time staying IC and getting into the questing.  I was amused for a while but it got old very fast, either way it was good to hang out with Idaris again, it's been a while.

Not sure which events coming up this weekend I will be able to get to... money's an issue and the 'rents are being really difficult.

I've been working at the warehouse again this week trying to earn some extra cash, hoping to collect enough to get to go and have some extra cash for other things.

School starts on Friday, coming up quick :-(

Finally getting around to posting more often.

I had fun at QoH... I fought as our one-man, our sword and board entry and on our five-man.  As always, I had a better time with the War Maneuvers... of the 3 'special' tourneys I entered I had the most fun with the five-man.

I was fine all weekend, and yesterday but this morning I've got really bad muscle pains in my back... supposed to work for Dad tomorrow... hope I'm OK for it.

I left this weekend with some new friends, which is great. =-D

Folkestone Questing's going to be a hard decision for me... it's one of like, three events a year I can count on a lot of Idaris attending, but there will be a lot of Paradise and Rorin's friends there as well... I'll take both characters and make my choice depending on who I see around.

Need to go out to grab some moccasins.. my steel toed boots are way too heavy to run in all weekend so I need something lighter... I've never had a problem with Mocs before... anybody have any recommendations as to where to get any?

Respond with your thoughts on characters I should play, where to get Moccasins... or anything at all!

Waiting for QoH to roll around... listening to the Transformers Soundtrack a bit... it's really good.  I need to go out tomorrow morning and pick up supplies... need to make a sled shield, re-foam my pike, and make a few other weapons.  I'm excited.

Saw Superbad last night with my friend Zakk, it was freaking hilarious... funniest movie I've seen in a very very long time.

Wow... it's been a while.

So, got my Learner's Permit a few weeks ago (that's doing well.),  took me way too long to see Transformers, waaay too long.  I wish I had the money to go back and see it again.  Speaking of Transformers... went out and got the soundtrack today!  =D

I've had a headache all day, but what else is new?  Got to know some people in my Battlefield: Vietnam clan... turns out I'm the only one of us that's actually from North America which makes for some unique friends =-)
They're a good group of guys, we'll do well together I think.

Excited for QoH, but I'm not sure who I'm going to be playing.   Feel bad having to turn down some of the teams I do as well.

I need to sleep soon... waking up early tomorrow to do some work with Dad.

Well, it's been a while since I've decided to post up here... Lack of initiative on my behalf.

Let's see... the last set of events I went to were awesome, despite some minor issues.  I've had fun playing Rorin, but playing Vasdre at Tourneys of Nadina was a really good break, reminded me how much fun I have playing him.

I've been WoWing it up pretty hard lately, 34-40 in the last week and a half, got my mount last night so I'm pretty excited.

I'm looking forward to feast of min... like a lot... I'm excited to see what kinda neat things Rorin'll get to do.

Went down to the river to swim today, it was pretty fun... ended up saving some hispanic woman's kid from being pulled down river... I'm a hero ;-)

Well, it's here but for some reason I'm just not that excited.  The last day of school hardly felt like the last day of school (last Thursday), and that feeling of summer boredom's setting in.  I've got some stuff I want to do:

Load Windows and Linux through partitioning on my laptop... blah
Move some stuff from my laptop to my desktop... still not sure how I'm going to do that one
Get an idea as to which events I'm going to be at
Figure out which f'ing QoH team I'm going to be on @_@
Find some people and play some paintball...
Hopefully snag myself a job for the summer?

So the first day of summer was pretty cool, I can't complain.  I woke up, got on the compy, played some battlefield: Vietnam.  After I got bored of Vietnam I played some Sid Meier's Pirates!  It's an awesome game.. I'm kinda mad at myself for starting to play again, I've gotten re-addicted.  I'm at Nick/Rifik's house now, watching Pirates of the Caribbean 3 for the first time... g'night everyone.

Oh my god... what a day.

So when I wake up things seem pretty normal, get on the bus and go to school. I slept through homeroom as I have been lately, and went off to desktop publishing. I played around on the MACs in desktop, and went and took my geometry final. That's when things went wrong.

I got off the bus at my house, and my next door neighbor whose lawn I mow for about 15 bucks a week is out stumbling around his yard. I'm guessing that I messed something up at this point, and asked if something was wrong... oh god... he turned slowly, and charged at me with this gurgling hiss, there was blood all over his face. I'm typing in run-on sentences... just kinda panicky right now I guess. I run straight for our crappy ford Escort, hop in the drivers seat, and close up the windows. Jamie wouldn't be home until 3:00ish, so I had nothing to worry about for a few hours, aside from my own life. Mum was out shopping with Nanny (my grandmother)... dad was at work... so I was good. I turn on the car, try to remember everything Dad taught me... clutch, no gas for reverse... and go. I shot out of the driveway, backing up the dirt hill a bit... hell. Drive, clutch, gas, go. Of course I had to stall it. I remember thinking I couldn't die... just didn't feel like it. I tried again and got it, and sped down the road, thinking of where to go.

I had always thought Wal-Mart when I joked like this, but it'd be too crowded, everyone thought Wal-Mart. Wait, what was I thinking, Roland must have just been crazy, zombies weren't real. Not enough time to think... I went to home depot. So here I am, eleven o'clock, holed up in a home depot with a lean-to made of lumber and plywood. I haven't seen one of them in hours... I've been here for what... six? Seven? Damn... longer than that, almost twelve... I need to do something... getting hungry. Usurping employee internet connection... passwords are easy to figure out when you have twelve hours on your hands. I'm off to find food, I'll stay the night here and head out in the morning, lemme know where you guys are and if you're alright... Jamie doesn't use LJ, so someone tell me about him... oh god... there has to be people nearby somewhere... the mall must have a least a few survivors... it's only down the road... I need food... real weapons... guys, hit me up with something Good luck, all of you.
