I am McLovin.

So, here's what's been going on in my life so far. Let's see...first of all, I'm single. Do not ask about it. I appreciate your concern, but it's my business. Second, I got a job at McDonalds now! I go to orientation next Tuesday, and I'll probably get my schedule there. Hopefully it'll be regular hours, and not just "whenever" at Cones and Bones. I get 1 free meal per shift, and an employee discount (but I can't use the discount between peak hours: 8am-10am, 11am-2pm, and 5pm-7pm, so...basically I can't use it during lunch. Damn.).

I've been feeling very...pissed off today (and this week), and I'm not sure why. My dad said this morning as he dropped me off "now, don't hurt anybody". (My dad and I kinda have the same attitude towards people, so...) But anyway, yeah. Have you ever had one of those days when you just want everybody to disappear off the face of the earth? Yeah, I've been like that-except I've wanted to castrate them with a wooden cooking spoon first. Mhmm. SO yeah-don't anger me, or I'll switch your lubricant with SuperGlue. And you know you don't want that to happen.

Umm...okay....have it your way!

lol anyway-I've got kinda headache right now. But nobody knows, so theoretically, I don't have one! I love psychology. So in band today, we went over the taped judge's notes (one of the judges normally put their comments onto a tape for us to take home), and listened to ourselves in concert. Personally, I believe that we should have gotten a two. And, I thought that the judge's comments (the one that gave us a two) were extremely warranted. It provided much information to make our sound, technique, and ourself overall better. Anyway, after we got done with listening to the stuff, we all got donuts! And the people who came to the pep band thingy on Friday got to have an extra one! There were only 19 people (including me) who showed up, so all the other people got to look on in envy. OH! I finally found out how to do panoramic shots on my camera! I was fooling around with it in 6th hour (we had a sub) with Annabelle, and we were just trying random settings. I think I should do one with 4 shots: "hear no evil", "see no evil", "speak no evil", and my favorite, "do no evil". lol...what a great blog header that would be!

This Saturday, I'm going to go to South Haven with my dad for a car race. He's going to be driving his Porsche, and I'm going to be driving the truck. The deal is: his car needs work. We're gonna drive separate cars down there so he can drop it off to be worked on and then come back in the truck (it's cheaper than Lansing!). It's going to be about 117 miles, and the open highway with nobody but myself, my music and the open road. And having to follow my dad...but he drives fast, so it should be no big deal.

Oh, here's an update: my dad works nights at GM, and gets home at about 7:00 in the morning. Saturday morning, he was going to get out of work. He gets about 2-3 blocks away from the GM plant where he works, and his truck starts having "fuel problems". That's all he'd tell me. Apparently, they had to TOW his truck to Graff Chevrolet to have it worked on. Their service dept. has no Sat. or Sun. hours, so he finally got a call today. Apparently, it needed a new fuel pump. It's not that old! (About 5-6 years old, Chevy Silverado Z71). Hope it's not too expensive...so I might be going out with him to pick it up. He's been having to use my car to get to and from GM (he won't use my mom's VW 'cause it's...German....and it might get keyed, and he certainly won't take the Porsche or Corvette for obvious reasons).

We had an interesting journal in English today. It was something along the lines of "what are you afraid of?" Annabelle was sitting next to me, and she put down "death". So I decided to base my journal off of that. See, I'm not afraid of death. I welcome it. The way I see it, death has to come sometime, and you never know when. So why waste your time worrying about something that could happen at any minute? I say enjoy your life. Take risks. I like this quote from somebody (I don't know who...too bad): "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!!"" To me, that explains life the way I see it. And I think that's enough rambling for now.

It's so cold outside...

I apoligize for my lack of an update yesterday. I was just too tired and stuff, so...I didn't do it. But I'll make one today for ya! I went to one of those garage sale thingies, except it was like a whole subdivision. So I had do drive a manual car through all this tight traffic (with my mom yelling at me the whole time). I'm glad to be home...I didn't really find anything I wanted (except for a mini-fridge, bt that was way over-priced).

The symphonic band is going to state festival today...my call time is 1pm. We're so not prepared. Our last piece is new (to us), and I guess Larz figured out that we would somehow magically put everything together in 2 weeks. We'll show him! lol


This is gonna be kind of a short update...there's stuff I need to do.

It's 9 in the afternoon!

So today was really slow. Both by speed and in energy. Seriously, I think everybody was tired of everybody else. We had a sub in 5th hour that spoke very little English, so it was kinda difficult getting out of him that we were to hand in our practice tests and take our tests. His name was Felix, and he's been our sub before. But everybody was being jackasses and making fun of him; overall, they were very immature. In 6th hour, we had another sub (this one, we knew about ahead of time). It was Ms. Shafer, and she knows everybody in the school (almost). And everybody knows her. But our class was exceptionally...hyper today, so she got a little pissed. Some kids ended up removing the screws (from a leg) to a desk, so it fell down and scared everybody. Anyway, I was about ready to shoot myself before the bell rang.

I watched the video for Panic At The Disco's "9 In The Afternoon" finally today. And I must say:awesome video! Complete and utter randomness, but that's what it takes to make me happy. Plus, Brendon was especially hot. That always helps. Anyway, I love the song, and viewing the music video makes me like it even more! (For the youtube video link, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zXqpCpTn_4)

Thank goodness that tomorrow is Friday...while today seemed to go by slow, this week has gone by rather fast. Or maybe it's just today that's holding us up. I don't know...

The lies I weave are oh so intricate...

Thanks to everybody (mainly Mrs. Lewis and another random person) for commenting on my last post. I needed that. Anyway, I'm working on my Spanish homework, and they're having us translate what "normal" Spanish people do in their everyday routine. For instance: "Mama y papa se levantan a las seis y veinticinco." Got all of that? It actually means "Mom and Dad get up at 6:25." And this concludes your Spanish lesson for this evening. I've got two Spanish assignments, a Chemistry summary sheet, and 11 trig problems (dealing with sin, cos, tan, sec, csc, and cot). Ugh. I'll probably be up until 12, like last night! I can't wait. Although, listening to my iPod helps immensely.

I have a sub for World Lit tomorrow, Friday and Monday (my normal teacher's going on vacation. Why she can't take it during spring break is beyond me...). And the sub is...Mrs. Shafer! The bestest substitute in the whole wide world. Seriously, she'd let us get away with murder if we wanted to...we're probably just going to read and do packet questions. On another school note, I'm considering taking Trig over again next year. I think I'd do much better in it than I am now.

Gahh...after Robert decided that having my last name as my username on LJ was not "good", I have made a new one. I shall post evenly (meaning post each entry on both platforms): spazthepenguin.livejournal.com (good enough? lol). I have also updated the look and feel of my Blogger blog, and I'll be sure to try out the new features that Blogger puts out.

Finally, I found this Youtube video somewhere...I nearly fell off my chair laughing.

Current Mood: invincible

I've got to let this out.

Just a warning for those who read my blog: what you're about to read contains a rare look into my feelings. You'll almost never get a look like this. So enjoy it. Another thing: the thing I'm going to be blogging on has been bugging me for about a month now. Honestly, Max, I'm sorry if you take objection to it. (On the other hand, I'm sorry if I thought you would and you really don't.) This is how I feel.

Before Max (before July 13, 2007 (a Friday, btw...)) there was this girl named Kendra. I met her, coincidentally, on Max's myspace page. She seemed nice, and at the time, Max and I were just friends. I looked at her profile, and the more I looked, the more I was hooked. We talked over IM and Myspace and whatnot, and eventually I got up the courage to ask her out. (Before that, I had been single for months...) She said yes, and at that time, I was the happiest person in the world. Nothing could crush my king-like persona. I was invincible...I felt like i had everything. We went over to each others houses (actually, I don't think she had ever come over to mine, I think I had just been over to her house). Her mom was wonderful, and very kind. She acted like a best friend to me (though Kendra came first, obviously). She would often joke around about Kendra and I, and we took it in sport. Her (step?)dad liked me (I think). I didn't see too much of him.

Then one day, Kendra and I were sitting on her couch, and she mentioned that Max was gay. I already knew that, but the next thing she said really blew my mind. She said that Max had had a crush on me since we met at the WKAR auction. My brain automatically went into "WTF?!?" mode. I managed to keep it calm and cool, and everything went fine. We joked around about me leaving her for him, but I said that I would not.

That's when everything began going in a downwards spiral. She once thought that I was flirting with Max, and called my cell at like 3:30 in the morning one day. Groggy though I was, I tried to reason myself a way out of this. She calmed down (I think)...and then begged for my forgiveness. She said "i'll do anything...anything...to keep you with me. i mean it. please. one more time?" After receiving that message, I really needed to think. Not because of what she was saying and the implications it had on me, but about what I did. One day, I was fooling around with self-made myspace profiles. I had a folder of pictures of friends, and I just chose one at random. It turns out that it happened to be Max. Somehow, Kendra happened to be viewing my profile the instant that I had put the image up for testing. Minutes later, I recieved this flaming letter (and rightfully so) citing the decease of our relationship. I didn't really know what to do. The rest after that is going to stay in my mind for now, but here's the rest. Being the little shithead that I was, I didn't feel any remorse; I went straight for Max. I was really not thinking.

The reason I bring this up is because it's been bothering me. A little "ping" at the back of my brain, reminding myself how I managed to f*** up a wonderful and trusting relationship. But I never listened to that voice...and I'm sorry that I didn't. Because the truth is...I miss her. I really do. That one day at the lake, where we were overlooking the sunset...I kick myself for losing everything. I kick myself hard. And chastise myself for being so conceited. "How did I manage to mess that up?" I often ask myself. And I can't say that I have a reason for that. What I do know is this: last night, I finally listened to the voice. I was laying in bed, waiting to fall asleep. Now when I fall asleep, I normally run through the thoughts in my mind. One of the first was about Kendra. When I thought about what I did (and didn't) do, I was dumbfounded. I turned away from the window and cried. Really. For about 20 minutes. Just reminding myself about what I lost, and living without the possibility of ever getting it back. And I realized-I would do anything to get her back and win her forgiveness.

Again-Max, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if this ruins our relationship. But I needed to let this out. It's something I should have done a long time ago. There are some hard truths, and those may be hard for you to understand. Summer 07 was the best and worst one I've ever experienced.

Today seems very...interesting.

So right now I'm inside my house blogging. My day seems to be going quite slowly, actually. Rather like a sloth. I had a sub in 4th hour Spanish 2, and 6th hour World Literature. My world lit sub was a witch, though. She was short, and reminded me of an Ewok. She had glasses that totally skewed her eyes, making it look like she had a bad case of the lazy eyes. And she wouldn't let me go to the bathroom! I was very polite in asking, but she said "nope." Like anything was going to happen! So then I just sat around and did no work...shame on me. *tsk tsk* I found a blue rubber iPod case (the one I normally use is clear/gray-ish) this morning in my nightstand drawer and I was so ADD about it. I was like "wow, a blue case for my iPod. It looks so pretty! Let me see how it looks...wow, it does look pretty! Now I'm going to show it off to everybody at school..." Except...nobody really noticed it.

At the end of 4th hour, I called my mom to see if she could bring me my HUGE Mountain Dew jug filled with ice water. (I don't have money for gas, so I didn't drive this morning. I got a ride with my mom (stfu!). If anybody wants to donate to my gas fund, I'll give you mercy when I take over the world). She brought it, and I started drinking it. People in my 5th hour Trig class were like "ZOMGTHATSHUGEHOLYCRAPWHATSINTHERE?!?" I just calmly responded by saying "vodka." lol, jk...I said ice water, which was what it really was.

In other news, my 6th hour sub is going to be gone through Wednesday. God, I hope we don't have the same sub for all these three days. That would royally suck.

So I watched Juno last night.

Really good movie! Originally, my mom, my brother and I were going to watch it all together, but once we got to the first 20 minutes, it became clear that it just wasn't appropriate for my brother. Of course, he got mad and thought we were punishing him. But whatever...it was really good, with lots of surprising twists. There were some points where I thought something was going to happen, but they didn't. All in all, I really liked this movie. Unfortunately, it was just a one-night rental, so I've gotta take it back today.

We also have two ducks that are hanging around our pool (our pool cover on top collects water, so they must like to hang out there, I guess). I was about to go to Meijer to deposit my check, when I saw the male walk toward our house. I wasn't out the door yet, so I just stayed where I was. I watched it slowly come up through the grass, actually walk on our deck, and then walk up to our sliding door (which was open but had a screen on it). Thank goodness our cat's weren't awake then! The duck just walked up to about a foot away from the door, then kinda looked around like he was looking for something. (We haven't seen the female anywhere in a couple of days, so maybe she left or something.) He then flew up onto our roof, flew to our garage roof, walked over the crest to the other side, then to our neighbor's roof. That's when he dropped down to my neighbor's lawn, and walked up to my neighbor's front door like he was looking for something like he was with our door. I was like "ZOMG!" So I quietly left, and when I got back, he was gone. But, this morning, I saw him jump from the edge of our pool to the water that was on the cover.

SO anyway...I'm probably working Tuesday after school until like 3:30 or 3:45ish. Jim needs to drop some stuff off to another high school (he often delivers ice cream sandwiches to other sports games).

This is the purpose of my life.

Now...if only I could remember what it was...lol. I'm about to eat breakfast, but I'll post this entry first. I work from 1-5pm (so YAY I don't have to close!!!), so somebody please visit me. We get NO business there, so most of the time I'm just washing dishes. (The sink is at a very uncomfortable height level, so when I'm doing dishes for 15 minutes or more, I get stuck at that position bent-over (minds out of the gutter, please!).)

After I get out of work, my family's gonna rent Juno and watch it tonight. It's supposed to have gotten pretty good reviews, too! I can't wait to see it...

I was just watching Blendtec's "Will It Blend" series on youtube. They blended everything from 12 glow-sticks, to 40 pens, to an iPod! That blender must be indestructible...the videos are so funny!

My 50th Blogger Post/It's A Wonderful Day

It's like...what...78 DEGREES? ZOMG! We have all the windows open in my house, and it feels awesome. Pretty soon, and we'll have to take the cover off of our central air unit! Everything is turning green...it looks so pretty!!! I'm kinda glad that I wore shorts today. I can't believe that this is my 50th post. I started in...late march? I don't know...

So, Jordan and I have been recruiting/promoting the Waverly GSA more and more lately. I also put up an announcement for the video post (which is what started the chain reaction of people wanting to join), which certainly helps our count. We've found an adviser, Doc. Fandrick (he's said that he's all for it), and now we're ironing out the details as how to actually start the group to be recognized by the school. To increase our contact with other people, I've added a Waverly GSA IM account (through AIM): waverlygsa (and our Gmail address (waverlygsa@gmail.com) supports Google Talk and AIM through the Gmail page). I'm probably going to be working on a template for our fliers (and bouncing ideas off of Jordan) this weekend, as well. If you (my readers) have any ideas, feel free to send them to me!

I was so bored last night, so I wrote some code on my calculator (it took 10x longer than it would have by laptop, but I couldn't write TI code on my laptop) that will allow me to punch in a temperature (either in Fahrenheit, Celsius, or Kelvin) and get the other two temperature conversions.

In about half an hour, I'm going to go to a pasty dinner (held monthly), which will be yummy. See ya!

Annnd....here it is!!!

It's official: I'm starting a GSA (gay/straight alliance) at WHS. Here's some preliminary info:

I want more information before I join. What do I do?
You can send an email to waverlygsa@gmail.com and I'll be happy to address your questions and/or concerns.

Do I have to be gay to join?
No, you do not. That's why it's called a "Gay/Straight Alliance": our purpose is to educate both homosexuals and heterosexuals about the challenges that we all face in today's society.

What do you do during meetings?
We normally would discuss what individual challenges that we are facing, both on a personal level and as a whole. We do participate in activities such as "Day Of Silence", and members are welcome to bring up any other ideas to benefit the group. This is individually driven, meaning that all of our members can contribute greatly for the group as a whole.

****************

If there are any more questions that I didn't answer (or that you would like more clarification on), feel free to email me at waverlygsa@gmail.com

Thanks for your time, and remember to spread the word!

So after I got my homework done this afternoon (trig was pretty easy), my dad and I went to the shop to get his Corvette after having some work done on it. We stopped at McShell after coming back (but before we took it back to the storage unit), and I got to drive it from McShell to the storage unit! Yayz.

Update on what's been happening...

So I know I haven't updated since I got home from Chicago, so I resolved to do it right now.

My spring break was pretty cool...applied at most of the stores on the entire Saginaw Strip (Saginaw hwy), but I hope I get the job at Menards. I'd much rather work at that place than McD's, since those two are the ones that I feel I have the best chance of getting a job at. The rest of my break was spent doing...nothing. Thursday I went to Turkyville with my family, though. Good place. No idea where it was at, though. Somewhere in Cornwell...idk.

Friday at 1pm, I left to go to a youth churchy thingy called Dare To Share (www.dare2share.org) in Chicago. The bus ride down there was pretty cool...I took plenty of pictures. When we got into downtown Chicago, there was plenty of scenery to take pics of. I got one of one of those iPod billboards, but the bus was moving too fast so all I got was the sign and "iPo". lol. We ate dinner at...gosh....I can't really remember. But anyway, we went straight to the event before going to our hotel to unload our bags. We got there, and we also got pretty good seats. I was able to see very well to videotape things. After the drama/music/whatever (and an awesome performance by Lincoln Brewster), we went to our hotel. It was smaller than last year (yay), so we didn't have to organize a search team to find our rooms. In my room were me, Zack D., Zack S., Justin Gill, and Jason D. There was a couch that folded out into a bed, and then two two-person beds. Our room was kinda cool because it was a suite; it included a little kitchen area with a stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, etc. We had everybody else that wasn't in out group join us in ours so we could play Mafia (a card game that I'll explain tomorrow) and CatchPhrase. So we were playin' until like midnight, then we all decided to head to bed.

Except I could not. I had MAJOR insomnia. I was on the couch that night, and it was like SOLID HARD. So I stayed up until 4am eating popcorn, reading, and watching Comedy Central. I was surprisingly hyper the morning after...whatever. I slept for 2 hours, then woke up in time for me to shower before eating breakfast. We went to the second session of the event, and it was pretty good. (I have various videos of Friday and Saturday, so if you want a copy, just ask.) We then had lunch at a little strip-mall. I chose Jimmy Johns, which was REALLY FAST. I paid for my meal, she handed me my drink cup and chips, I took two steps, and then there was my sub. Anyways, we went back to the event, where we did some more stuff and were afterwards encouraged to go out to the community and do an act of service. Our church group chose to do a "dollar drop": we wrapped dollars around little gospel messages, then dropped them in inconspicuous places in this one mall. That was fun...me and a couple of guys wrapped ours and then dropped them from the railings (and then ran away to avoid being seen). We then went back to our hotel to rest for about 20 minutes before eating at Chili's.

After we finished our meal, we went back for the final "leg" of the event. There was a little bit of worship, but not much. AND THEN THERE WAS HAWK NELSON. Like, omg! I videotaped every single minute of their performance. They couldn't have done a better job...nothing much else to say about them except they were AWESOME! When we got back to our hotel, we played Mafia again until midnight. This time, I had one of the beds with a Zack, but we were watching TV until 1, and then out in the hall until 2 because we couldn't sleep. We talked about stuff...he shot (a deck of) cards into my hat repeatedly because we were both so bored. At one point, we walked down to the lobby, grabbed an apple each, and walked back up to our hallway. We were at the end of a hallway, so we kinda had it to ourselves. We finally turned in at 2:30 or so, and went to bed.

The next day, we simply had breakfast, and then went home. We ended up having lunch at CiCi's Pizza (pretty good place). We got home, then left. Blah blah blah. That's kinda it...I'll explain Mafia tomorrow. If you want a CD of the pics I took, just ask me.

This is deserving of an update.

I'll update y'all on what's been happening with my grandmother on my mom's side: she has Alzheimer's/dementia. She won't admit it. She says "she's afraid." She was supposed to go in for numerous tests (mainly the one today), but each and every time, she's canceled them. We just got a call from her saying that she canceled the appointment today. (We (my mom and aunt) get notifications from her doctor if she tries to cancel her appointments.) (My aunt is the one with power of attorney, though she lives in Wisconsin.) Mhmm. Even though the symptoms will only get worse if she doesn't go to the doctor. My mom and my aunt are practically pulling their hair out, they're so angry with her. I am, too, as a matter of fact. I'm angry, disappointed, and sad. I miss her alot. I miss the grandmother I used to know. I want her back. So guess what I did? I emailed her directly 10 minutes ago! I told her I know of her illness(es) and I also know that she's canceled the appointments. I basically told her what I've already told you guys. In fact, here's the email I sent:

Grandma, I know that you canceled the rescheduled appointment, and I'm disappointed. I'd really like for you to go to this appointment. Everybody would. I know you're afraid, but everybody'll be better when you go through with this. There are medications to control the
symptoms, but if you ignore them, then they'll only get worse! I miss the old grandma that I used to know. I love you and I want you to get better. Please go (for all of us).

Love, Sean.

I really am stressed about this right now. If you all would do something for me please...pray for her. If you don't pray, hope she gets the wisdom she needs to go through with the appointments. Please...just hope. Maybe if she knows that her whole family cares about her, she'll understand. If you don't know her (many, if not all of you don't), just hold her in your hearts as a valued family member of Sean. Please...that's all I'm asking.

Save big money at...

When my dad came home from picking up Sam, he informed me that Menards was hiring (they had put up a huge banner saying "NOW HIRING"). So, I excitedly *but at the speed limit* hurried to Menards to put in an app. 20 minutes and a half sheet of paper later, I turned in my application. I certainly hope I get the job. It'd be much better than flipping burgers at McD's. And I'd go home smelling like...building equipment...oh well.

I've updated the look and feel of my blog, and I hope it looks better. I only wish that there were more layouts, but I'll stick to the ones I have available to me right now. I'm also looking for a desktop client that'll allow me to just open a program on my laptop, and post from there, instead of going through Firefox and logging in.

Well, now...

I just got back home from my "interview" at McD's. Apparently it was a "pre-interview", so they're going to call me back after reviewing what I filled out. When I got there, a lady sat down with me and gave me a form (with name, birthdate, last 4 digits of my SS#, and some other stuff), and a questionnaire with 35 average interview self-assessment questions. The form was in Spanish, so I tried to fill it out as best I could. I could figure everything out except for the part where it said "birth date". I take Spanish 2, but we hadn't gotten that far. Anyway, I filled out what I could, including the questionnaire, and took it back to the manager saying "look, I don't know enough Spanish to answer this question". She was like..."you don't know your birthday?" Then I explained that since the form was in Spanish, it was kinda hard to fill out anyway. She then apologized and said that she must've grabbed the wrong one. She said that she's then going to review the questionnaire, and call me back. So, I'm hoping...

I'm going to be busy Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday at a music festival. Be forewarned: I won't have the resources to check my email or whatever, so don't expect a speedy reply.

Anyway, last night I made a Michigan GSA on FaceBook (GSA is "gay/straight" alliance). The famous Matthew Lush has even joined! Well, I kinda invited him, but he accepted. So far, since last night, I've got...7 people. Hopefully it'll grow more. Here's the link: clickyclicky

I'd like everyone to join, but don't feel that you need to. Join because you want to. I also have set up an email address for this group to let anybody ask me questions in private: michiganGSA@gmail.com

I think that's all, folks...g'bye for now.

T'is but one update of insanity...

Yep. I'm not doing anything over spring break except being lazy. Quite an...accomplishment...I think. Anyway...when my dad wakes up, we're going to go and get his Corvette from the shop (he had a part put in it). I might be able to drive it!

(For this next paragraph, I've been toying with about 5 ideas. I've tried to put them down, and I have, but they all seem silly once I get to about the 3rd sentence, so you'll have to forgive me.)

Tomorrow at 2pm, I have a McInterview (a phrase I coined myself) at the "McShell" (that's what my friends and I call it), so wish me luck. I'm not sure of the McOutcome yet...but I hope I get the job. It's close to my house, and I would get a discount on the food (plus one free meal per shift).

Meh...that's all...I think my quality of posts may diminish over Spring Break. Don't worry, however-1) it's not like people actually read this, and 2) the quality will return soon within a couple of days.

Like, OMG

Here's what I found while I was cruising along Saginaw looking for a new job.

Hmm...I see...

So now I'm watching Masterpiece Theatre. I'm tired...I've been at youth group and before that, Sam's Club and Max's house.

I was at Max's house...I got to drive, too! I'm so surprised. Anyway...I was trying to fix his sister's computer, but alas, I could not. Then we hung out in his room, and he gave me some stuff. (Sorry I'm being non-descriptive, I just don't feel like typing, but my therapist thinks it's good for me.) We went outside for a ride in his golf cart, and we drove up and down his road. We returned home, and then I pulled my car into his dad's mechanical lift so we could have a look at my car. Apparently, my fuel filter needed replacement, so he replaced it (it's pretty cheap). Then I followed his mom and him so Sam's Club, where I hung out with him until I had to leave.

Sorry, I'm pretty tired...

SNL! / I am officially a camera whore.

So watching SNL last night was awesome...PANIC WAS SO HOT! lol. I changed my myspace name to "I love ice cream! *jumps out the window*". (It's from a SNL skit that I watched last night. So therefore, I'm running on 5 hours of sleep. Hooray. Whoop-de-frickin-doo. I have nothing to do at all today...probably be online all the time. If you're reading this, I don't have any minutes left on my cell phone. So just call it and don't expect an answer (I'll see that you called and I will call you from another phone). Or save both our minutes and contact me via IM.

I'm probably going to be on my laptop in my car again...with the extension cord coming through the window. It'll be perfect weather! I can't believe what we had yesterday. My dad brought his cars out of hiding, and everything! I rolled my windows down and everything...

Yay! I got me some new musics.

Yeah...I went to work...boring. No tips. Gah...then Max called and asked if I wanted to hang out after work. So of course, I said YEAH. So we talked, then finally decided on hanging out at the mall with him and his friends after I got out.

So we met, and walked in. (Sorry, I forgot their names (except Max's, lol)). We walked around...through Barnes/Noble, then just wandering aimlessly. We went into Hot Topic, and I bought Bullet For My Valentine's 2nd album "Scream Aim Fire". Sounds AWESOME! I imported it into my library already. Then we just kept walking, then we got to one of those groups of little couches. Me+Max sat together on one, and his friends sat on another. After a couple of minutes, we walked to the food court...and sat down, when my mom called me and said I had to go home. So...that ended abruptly.

And I'm about to watch SNL. Panic At The Disco's gonna be on there! I'm so excited!

NNnnngh.....

I just woke up. Why on earth I feel the need to update my blog the instant I can, I don't have a reason. It feels like a Sunday to me...but it's not. I wanna hang with friends...maybe I'll call or IM some today so we can. Or if you're reading my blog (yeah right, nobody reads this (I think)), then cal or IM me. Well...don't call me on my cell phone, 'cause I have like no minutes on it. So IM me or call my house phone.

My dad kinda gave me some bad news last night...he's not going to be working races this year. He said it's because he doesn't feel like he's getting the respect he deserves, and he has a bone to pick with the people who's organizing the races. That was too bad...I was really looking forward to going to the races...he said possibly he'll go to one or two, so maybe that'll happen. I sure hope so...

I got Google Talk yesterday. Anybody wanna talk, my username is sean.feichtenbiner@gmail.com

I also applied for jobs to:
-Beaners
-WalMart
-Denny's
-Lansing Mall 6 Theatres

Wish me luck!

Ohmigosh. Best Buy has an Apple Shop now.

So I'm writing this on the new MacBook Air at Best buy. So awesome! I can't believe that this thing is so thin! Granted, there's only one USB port and no optical drive, but this thing is BANGIN! I close it, and it's like...meh. "I'm only this big...see how tiny I am!" lol I am in heaven right now. There's this whole little Apple shop in Best Buy. You don't know how long I've been waiting for this to happen! Just...ahhh.

The machines look so pretty...when I get a Mac, I'm planning on getting the MacBook Pro. The ultimate media machine.

I'm just drooling over this beauty of a laptop....

I. Have Got. A. Migraine.

My GOD, I just want it to go the f*** away! I put my car in the driveway and an extension cord to my car so I could work on my laptop in my backseat. Why, you may ask? Well...cause my back seat's so comfortable. I can just pull the extension cord in the window, then bring in my laptop so I can do stuff like update my blog.

In 5th hour, we had a sub, so almost nobody did any actual work. In 6th hour, it was kinda like a huge party. Josh Wise brought in his 360, and he set it up with Mrs. Henry's projector on part of her board. I had brought my laptop, and played Pirates OTC #2 on another projector until I noticed that nobody was watching it...lol. I stopped the movie, then started just playing around. I was making random Paint figures...then playing Spider Solitare...then showing off all my pictures. It was fun...at the end, I felt a little twinge of a headache, but not much. It didn't get bigger until I went home...

SOMEBODY PLZ HANG WITH ME! lol...I have no life. AIM me too! sfeichtenbiner

Nothin much goin' on...

Just going to go take a shower. Tomorrow's the last day before spring break! I'm so excited...not that I'm going anywhere, though! Just be online constantly....ugh.

I feel dirty. I'm going to go and get clean.

Conferences...

Didn't go too bad, much to my surprise. My dad went along with me, as my mother and brother were at the middle school doing the book fair during their conferences. My dad was pretty cool-headed about the whole thing, even about the low grades. (I won't tell you my grades...just FYI.) He's just cool like that. So we went through all my teachers except Mrs. Henry. She left a phone-call sign up sheet at her table. Skipper....lol. We then had dinner at Chipotle, which was teh shit as always.

I got home, and started working on my homework. When my mom came home, we went over the little "fact-sheet" that my dad had so conveniently typed up for her. I actually think it helped her be more mellow about it all...she was pretty cool about it, too. We went over it (me and my mom) and decided that I should start going to the help sessions at lunch for Trig and Chem classes. I agreed with that, too...

I'm not dead (yet)! lol

GMAIL CUSTOM TIME

*How do I use it?

Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.

*Is there a limit to how far back I can send email?

Yes. You'll only be able to send email back until April 1, 2004, the day we launched Gmail. If we were to let you send an email from Gmail before Gmail existed, well, that would be like hanging out with your parents before you were born -- crazy talk.
How does it work?

Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox).

*How come I only get ten?

Our researchers have concluded that allowing each person more than ten pre-dated emails per year would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless.


***I think that this is just Google's idea of an April Fools joke, much like last year's Google TISP idea.***
