So I spent my homecomming night at Alli's Block Party, rockin' out to the classic party/80s/70s songs, playing LOZ and Paper Mario 2: TYD. It was pretty funny, me and Alli becoming the HAPPY SUNSHINE BUDDIES!!! *holds up neon green wrist thingy with the happy sun in an overly-cheerful manner* YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!! And we danced all weirdly. Since I didn't know anyone there, nor would any of them care enough to remember this information, I danced as weird as I felt like. Which didn't happen to be too weird, but that's okay. We also played a game of Hate-Volleyball, and it was fun... Yep... I'm really not looking forward to gym next semester.
So that was homecoming. I think I had more fun gaming and such than I would've at homecomming.
Random sidenote: Paper mario 2 is a reaaaaallly perverted game. You should buy it!
In completely irrevelant news, LeaF and I have made a new friend! Yay. His name is Guy, Ceiling Guy. (Excuse the James Bond reference) Okay, I'm just kidding. His name's Zack something or other. He's really sarcastic and hates almost everyone. Unfortunately he's from the south. Most of you wouldn't understand it, but for some reason I've always just really disliked southerners. Something about the accent and the generally happy, nice attitude. Uck. Gotta be mean once in a while, you know? But anyway, he doesn't really act much like a southerner, so I guess that's alright. So there's random entry #2!
And now for #3! I haven't the time to devout a whole post for it as Katie did, but let's all have a moment of silence for Manny's passing, the horrendous crime the man we know only as Mr. Peterson commited. Oh why, why couldn't he have just killed that one girl he always threatens to kill? Why take the life of our dear Manny. We shan't know. And now for the moment of silence I mentioned.

I'm supposed to be reading To Kill A Mocking Bird right now. Oh, I've finished reading the book by now, weeks ago, yes. But I didn't get all of the examples i need, or highlight everything i need. And what examples I DO have are so sloppilly written, curving around the edges of the margrins in the book, they probably won't be counted. I neeeeed to work on this, but I'm too tired, too lazy, and too much of a procrastinater. And here I promised myself I wouldn't procrastinate at all when school begins. *slams head into desk multiple times*
And even though I feel dreadful about TKAMB, I'm going to further procrastinate by making a mediumish post.
First of all, I've found a new, great, GAMECUBE/Playstationish based webcomic. It rocks. And one of the people who made it put me on his watch list ^_^ I have several links I could give you for this:
Here's their site that's easiest to veiw the comics with: http://tipofthesword.comicgenesis.com/
Here's their dART account: http://tipofthesword.deviantart.com/
Here's Eric Chandler, one of the artists,'s dART account: http://pheonixsage.deviantart.com/
I don't know what account Stephan Auker, the other artist, has, or I'd link it. Chandler's the one who put me on watch, so he's cool. ^_^
Second of all, I promised I'd tell you about the company boat trip. The ride to chicago wasn't too bad, I was listening to Disturbed and Acceptance the whole time. We were all dressed up except for alex. I was wearing nice, silky feeling new tan pants, and a mossy sort of green shirt with half --not quarter =o-- sleeves, that made me, combined with the classy look of the pants, look vaguely sophisticated! Except for the fact that with my hair down, it flew in my face every five seconds unless I walked backwards. It was irritating.
We arrived there and I looked around. Almost no one my age. And much to my horror, more than 3/4ths of the people had cameras. AND in order to get on the boat, they made you get your picture taken with your familly, it was a favor from the company that it's free. And they make you wear hawian [how come i can't spell that word today? I always used to be able to...] flower necklace type things. x_x And worse yet, my mother has a camera and makes us all take pictures together as well as the company photos. I'm stubborn and keep my headphones on maxed volume the whole time.
We board the boat, and eat appetizers. I get bored quickly. The DJ realizes I'm wearing headphones and gets offended. He says he'll try and play some music I like. I name a few bands. He doesn't recognize any of them. I'm like "Yeah... I like non-mainstream rock, these days..." So what does he do? He begins playing 80s crap. Even 70s crap is better than 80s crap.
Lunch is served at the bottom of the boat, at least for the food we want. Shrimp and spicy foods are on our level of the boat. I take Alex downstairs, we get pizza and alex gets some extra mini hot dogs and go back up. I get rice from the Grown Up Food buffette table to go with my pizza. A girl I don't recognize comes up to me. "Remember me? I was at the Donlen [the place my mom works at] Take-your-kids-to-work-day about 2 years ago!" I blink. "Erm..?" I ask. When she continues insisting, I say "Ohhhh! I remember you now!" though I actually still have no idea who the hell she is.
She brings her friend over then. "You remember Moira, right?" the friend is like, "Yeah, totally!" The girl then asks me, "Do you remember her?" I answer honestly this time, "Nope." And the girl is like "Oh my gosh, she doesn't remember me either." and I'm like "Well, my memory's not too great." And they say "oh." and leave.
We eat. Trivia questions are on by the DJ. We try to remember the date of the chicago fire. The guy at our table hints that it was in the late 1800s. I tell alex to vote 1886. EEEAAHHHH! We're wrong, it was 1924 or something. Alex glares at the old guy who told us late 1800s. Next question is who were the french explorers who came to what would become Illinois.I tell alex Marquette and Juliet. We win a crappy cd consisting mostly of different versions of the electric slide, the chicken dance, and the cha cha slide. Thank you Illinois Constitution Packet.
I wander out to the front deck, and begin playing Bomberman on my GBC, hoping to attract some attention from the hot guys I saw on the deck which were the main reason for me to come on the front deck. That and that the front deck wasn't nearly as crowded as everywhere else on the boat. Instead, my playind GBC attracts the attention of seven and eight year olds. I sigh and wander back inside, see that they've layed out the desserts. I eat a brownie and a few cookies and go back outside, cranking up Disturbed to top volume. I see that the guys have moved over to the side of the ship, looking at Navy Pier. We'll be there soon. After a bit, I go there too, enjoying the veiw to the sound of Violence Fetish. The crew soon shoo us away, putting ropes on the side of the boat, and so we're all back on the front deck again. My mother comes, gets her employee to catch a few photos of me, and says to stay here, she'll bring the others to the deck and meet us there.
I see alex running off and I catch him. I scold him for a bit, and tell him he has to stay here and wait for mom. He complains about wanting his sunglasses. I put my hand on his head to steer him back to the front deck, but find that his head is drenched in sweat and pull my hand back. Hence forth Alex has a mission to get his sweat on me.
At some point I noticed one of the hotguys was watching me. "Hello," I said cheerfully."
He smiled in response. After a bit he asked, "Is that your brother?"
"Yeah."
"I see."
And there's my most productive conversation of the day. We soon got off the boat, went into navy pier, found the imax theater.
"Ugh." I say.
"I wanna see the Ant Bully!" alex says.
"No, your mom and I already decided, we're seeing Deep Sea 3D." my step dad says.
"You and Jose can argue it out." my mom says.
"Pbbth. I don't want to see either." I say.
"Fine, alex and jose can fight it out."
"There's no fight, we're seeing Deep Sea 3D and that's final." Jose says.
My mom buys the tickets, we begin to go into the theater. Jose starts walking off. mom calls him back, asks where he was going. He gets all defensive. we go in the theater. Argument ends with jose saying "Well I don't know why we're arguing, we're seeing the movie you wanted to see, aren't we?"
My mom then says, "No, we're here seeing the movie you insisted on seeing, then walked off."
Jose: "What? No. I asked you a few days ago, if you'd like to see deep sea, and you said that'd be great."
Mom: [coldly] "No, I said that'd be fine. You're the one that wanted this. Ask either of the kids, neither of them wanted to come see a documentery."
At this point I used the excuse of wanting to go buy popcorn and cotten candy as an excuse to get away.
Oh, and the movie sucked, a lot, even Jose admitted it.
And that was the company boat trip.
No more procrastinating, I must go work on tkamb now. x_X
School starts tomorrow.
