7 Days 'Til The Wedding

Blog No. 52: 7 Days 'Til The Wedding

Right.

Basically what went on today was preparations for the wedding.

Dress and sash.

Veil.

Bouquets.

Flower Girl Basket.

Ring Bearer Pillow.

Shoes.

OMG Shoes.

Saw my sister with her wedding dress on. Mom made some alterations to the veil, stitching each pearl one at a time, gluing each gem on one at a time. Apparently the dress is going to be all kilmono/sari-ish in a way. I just think it looks simple. Whatever. Either way I have to give her away, so yeah.

I should probably figure out what my tuxedo will look like before its too late to back out...

Watch, it'll have tails on it or I have to wear gloves or something...

I shouldn't kid like that. XD

What-To-Do-To-Prepare-For-My-Sister's-Wedding To Do List:

  1. Call Tuxedo Den tomorrow to make sure my tux is alive and ready by the day before the wedding.
  2. Make sure Angela and Kaylah get their invites.
  3. ... That's it really.

Strange week ahead. Hopefully I'll be alive by the end of it. XD

The Brave Little Carseat

Blog No. 51: The Brave Little Carseat

Yeah. Spent an hour at Target because we couldn't return double stuffs from the baby shower.

You see, as stated in my previous blog, my mother is a stubborn woman. We've returned, already, a stroller, a set of CDs, and something else I don't remember and ended up getting like a $200 refund already. Then the girl at the register said, "Well if you don't have the reciept for the rest, you can pull up the purchase log on the gift registry, print it out, and use that as a reciept." So we did, after half an hour of trying to reach my sister to get her password to her Target.com account. By then, the line was LONG and they were shorthanded. I waited in line with a car seat, two traveling beds, and a bottle warmer in a cart. Twenty minutes later, we walk up and spoke to them again and they said, "Sorry but we need the ID or Driver's Liscence of the mother or father so that we can scan it into the computer and return them."

Are you kidding me? Do these Target people have a death wish?

Essentially, my mother rose all hell against them. She complained about how she's in here every week, she shops for three households, and how her Target purchases still go toward an elementary school me and my marine cousin used to go to. A manager was almost unleashed. She even pulled out a reciept from long ago, asking what the hell she was charged for that's called "Percy Jacksn." She complained and complained and complained. Basically, I just stared off in the distance, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel to take me from this punishment. My mother ended up getting the traveling beds and bottle warmer returned, using my ID card (which basically means I can no longer return anything at Target without a reciept for a calendar year), and got like a $50 gift card.

All but the carseat remained. D:

My mother is still a weak woman, though, and basically all the errands we had to do today we did not end up doing. I had to drive the van home for her, so I got to pull up to Togo's and Starbucks before we went home.

And in case you were wondering, I did not go to school today to make up the lab because I had "several chores to do today" which I did not know waiting in the Target line for an hour was one of them.

Such a major let down. D:

How-To-Tell-Someone-They're-a-Hypocrite To Do List:

  1. Prepare the argument in your head. Imagine as if you are giving a power point presentation, with each slide clearly showing instances of hypocrisy. A thesis statement might help in this case. It doesn't have to make much sense, so long as there's a powerful conclusion in place and you act compelling enough to get away with it.
  2. Prepare the power point and a projector. (optional)
  3. Work up the courage. It's what makes a king out of a slave. :3
  4. Keep eye contact, stand your ground, and keep going if they try to interrupt you. Make particular emphasis on how you are affected and how disappointed in them as a human being you are to them.
  5. Walk away, chin held high because you've just PWNED someone very hard. :3

If only...

Directly to Me

Blog No. 50: Directly to Me

I've noticed that alot of things I've seen on TV, the shows I watch, and some movies I've seen, all have the same producer, Jerry Bruckheimer.

I watched the National Treasure movie not too long ago, and it had that logo with the tree being shocked into life by a lightning bolt, which is from the company who's headed by none other than Bruckheimer.

I just saw the new TV series my mom is into now, The Eleventh Hour, which is a pretty good show about a scientist and an FBI agent investigating abnormal human phenomena and whatnot. It had a simple one line at the end: Executive Producer: Jerry Bruckheimer.

I'm trying to figure how this one guy knows me so well. I've never met him, yet he speaks directly into my soul and apparently my eyes. I think he also did the CSI and Law and Order series, which I also watch. It's weird how I see his name everywhere, like he's stalking me... Or am I stalking him?

Right now watching America's Best Dance Crew which is headed by Randy Jackson. Now what does that say about me? I don't really like him at the American Idol thing. It just might mean I prefer an alumni of NSYNC as a judge rather than some british hardball... Or maybe its Mario Lopez... Nah. XD

Today was alright. Stupid Archery got cancelled though, all because the targets might sink in the puddles... Such a dumb excuse.

But, that's not the real clincher. You see, I was rushing this morning, trying to make the stupid Archery class, so much so that I had forgot my jacket. A jacket would've been nice tonight because I had my late class. So when I finally found out the class cancelation, my mom called and told me to flip a U-ie and go back to the car and be picked up so that she can drive me to Target to buy a new jacket/sweater/sweat shirt. You think I wouldn't complain, but she does this so much. I already have 7 jackets at home, all practically new. No lie. I tried explaining it to her, but she is stubborn. Instead of taking the fifteen minute trip home, she took me to Target to make another meaningless purchase. Geez... And she complains on how I spend money. XD

Concerning the Wicked Choir trip, I might not be able to go. You see, I don't want to miss anymore classes. I would be missing a Chemistry lab, which is sinful in the eyes of the Weissbart, and I would be lowering my letter grade from A to B in Italian. I would be so on board if it wasn't for the strep throat, but I want to keep my grades. I could maybe do the later lab as a make up on the May 6th (if the Weissbart doesn't mind me being an hour late) or make it up on May 7th during the lab time that would make me miss Choir, which would inflict a wrath of Dr. Hughes. I would not be able to make up the Italian grade.

Speaking of Italian, the test was not that bad.

After, I hung out with Taka, playing Megaman and drawing Gwen the vagina washer and Sora from Kingdom Hearts. It got me back to drawing once more. I'd like to do some charactures in the future, if I'm ever good enough. I also gave Taka a project over the weekend, to draw her image as I saw it in my blogged dream (Blog 45). I tried being as specific as possible, and it was hard. I don't see the details in my dreams, I see everything as I would see, in first person and in visual concepts.

And I doodled my way through a short Biology class.

How-To-Stop-Someone's-Resentment-Toward-You To Do List:

  1. Avoid their glances for sometime, get proof of resentment.
  2. Look at them in the face, in the eyes, in the soul.
  3. Ask them WTH is wrong.
  4. Apologize, no matter what it is. Make sure what ever it is NEVER happens again.
  5. Do laundry. Might get messy.

Are you talking directly to me?

Back Attack

Blog No. 49: Back Attack

Counting back the instances where my back was noticeably different:

Sitting at the lab bench in Chemistry on an uncomfortable stool for 2 hours, doing mindless lab work I ended up copying off of someone else.

After, Piper was all "GAAAH!" on my back in the cafeteria. I tried lifting her up from behind, but she retreated before I was successful.

Then after, like right after, I was very much violated.

I was lifted in the air.

Like three feet in the air.

Piper was all "Guess who it is?! LOL." I only know one guy that (1) would be tall enough to lift me to the fifth story and (2) would have the urge to lift me to that fifth story. JT always aimed to please though. Haven't seen him in forever, since the rain keeps canceling out our Archery days... Better not rain tomorrow.

Piano class had the piano benches.

Concert Band, Lishman was on our cases about posture, how our backs are to never touch the backs of the chairs.

And the twenty minutes I had to wait for a ride after Band, sitting on the grass on Magpie Hill in the dark.

So I ask you: What is the deal with my back for today?

When I came home, my back was all seething in pain. I thought it was unusual until I recounted all these events. It's like someone put a hit out on my back and I did not notice. Was my back a magnet for pain today? I could really use the Link-style neck rub, only I wouldn't be so sure Rachel would comply. XD

But still, all in all, it was a good day.

Saw a little bit of everybody, including KT's sister, Sarah, loving as always. Talked a lot with Abril, Taka, and Dustin. Talked with Luna, the mexican trumpet player in Concert Band I went to high school with, (the one-who-called-me-gay-by-accident-even-though-he's-the-one-guy-I-always-talk-about-girls-with guy). I even talked to the Blonde! Kaylah called during the break before Concert Band because she was bored and she sensed with her third eye and the blondeness connection we have that I was bored too.

I like Wednesdays, after Chemistry of course. :D

What-To-Do-To-Restore-My-Back-Before-Tomorrow To Do List:

  1. Relax.
  2. Apply ice pack.
  3. Watch Lie to Me until I fall asleep.

Italian test tomorrow! AAAAAHHHH!

Foreign Waters

Blog No. 48: Foreign Waters

It seemed that I was going to a different and foreign land today when I went to school today, what from being off for nearly a week.

I have yet to go to Archery for a full week yet, mostly because of the rain.

Choir was interesting. Basically made no progress, with more screw ups and rhythm hiccups and the incurring wrath of Dr. Hughes. I very much hate being sick on choir days.

Italian wasn't so bad. I pretty much got caught up within the class period. I feel that I can prove to Martinelli that I can miss two class sessions in a row and still jump back from it, and I will have to because of the test Thursday. Here's to hoping.

Biology ---> Notes.

NOT looking forward to Chemistry or Piano, due to a continuation of a lab I wasn't there for and a scales test I have yet to study.

Joy.

What-To-Do-When-You-Catch-Yourself-On-Fire To Do List:

  1. Stop.
  2. Drop.
  3. Roll.
  4. Curse like a sailor because your jiblets are well done.

A Day Late

So I know what you're thinking:

HAHA! You skipped a day! NanananaNA! LOSE!

The voice I have in my head to symbolize the masses is very cruel...

Anyways, I did not skip a day. I am simply still writing it. It is a very long and dives into the inner working of my brain. You'll see what I mean.

So, I pulled out this blog to compensate.

Blog No. 46: A Day Late :(

A Day Late---Anberlin

One of my things is that I search youtube for interesting versions of songs. I found this guy who does this pretty cool acoustic version of the song from Anberlin. He also has a piano version of this as well, if you all are interested. I put the acoustic version here for you to enjoy:



What-To-Do-Before-School-Starts-Again To Do List:

  1. Get out of this house at some point. It seems I still have a fever, CABIN fever.
  2. Finish Blog No. 46 if this posts beforehand.
  3. Comprehend my chemistry hw.
  4. Catch up on my Italian.
  5. Listen to some more music!

Arrivederla!

SPOR, or, Dream

Yes, you realize this blog is time stamped TWO days late. Long story short, I didn't have anything worthwhile to write about. It was a good thing I waited.


Blog No. 45: Spor or Dream

I couldn't really sleep until late, partly because of the snoring, the wind, the red-neck comedy special, and the booming techno, Madonna music from behind our wall... But when I did, I had a weird dream that came in pieces:

~~~~~
It started out where all my dreams start out, on a chessboard. I only can stand on those white squares, in fear that the black ones are bottomless pits, though I have figured out that the bishop's and queen's squares are flat. It's usually hard to tell though after it repeats as I move forward. The board turns into a long hallway. It became more and more defined. Pillars on both sides of the hall every five squares. I can't see the walls because it's so dark, but I assumed they were there. If I kept going, there would be a door with a green and purple crest on it where two suits of armor with peacocks on their heads stand guard. They usually prevent me from going in, so I lean toward the right wall with my hand until I felt a doorknob. I turned it to the left and opened the hidden door.

I end up on the helm of a pirate ship. It tipped dramatically back and forth between the bow and stern. A rope dropped down from the bird's nest at the VERY top. So I grabbed the rope and began climbing upward, using the seasickening swing to help me up. As I was going up, Taka was sliding down the sail like a slide, flailing her arms, for some reason holding a fork and knife. I kept climbing upward until I reached the top and jumped in that thing, only the floor of that did not exist and it I fell through.

I landed, somehow, on the tip of Big Ben, sparing you the graphic details of course. I was holding on to dear life, which only means I will slip off. Sliding down, I stopped on the minute hand pointing at the 10 by my shoelace. I ended up hanging there upside down. I was trying to wait for the minute hand to move, only to see that the hour hand is the only one that's moving.

Some sort of bike pedaling hot air balloon flies by. It was Taka, again, onboard, still with a fork and knife at hand. I yelled out, "What are the utensils for!?"

Taka only replied, "POMEGRANATE!" and pedaled on...

It literally hit my head when I finally thought that I should've waved her down for help.

A giant, anvil-like hammer suddenly came flinging and flipping upward at the clock and shattered the face of poor ol' Ben. Big Ben managed a to squeeze out a tear before it was completely obliterated. And I was falling, again.

(This dream was long.)

Then I was in the middle of the battle scene in Beast's Castle in Kingdom Hearts II. It was the grand ballroom, and I landed on the chandelier in the middle of the room. Piper was on the chandelier too, only she was Donald Duck. So... Piper Duck? And Dustin ended up being Goofy. Totally suits him.

Anyways, we were on that chandelier and the giant heartless monster came galloping our way. I hung on the chain and jumped up, swinging the chandelier toward it, crushing it against the walls of the ballroom. Dustin fell off as it flung forward. Piper Duck was squacking all the way around. Dustin was trying to chase down the monster, making himself dizzy and fell over. The heartless got smudged into the paint, all black and purple scrapes.

Piper Duck and I jumped off and helped Dustin up, when someone in a black hood jumped from one of the balconies above to the center of the room. He just floated there, all creepy-like, his face strategically hidden in the hood's shadow. Dustin threw his shield like a frisbee at him, and Piper Duck a large ball of flame. Both just phased through the hooded man. He summoned some energy and made a giant sweeping motion, clasping his hands together and creating a large gust of wind that broke the large glass window behind us. He disappeared.

The doors opened and a giant Mrs. Potts clogged in, whistling her "Be Our Guest" tune.

Piper Duck grabbed her staff with both hands as she spontanneously combusts, standing there engulfed in flame and uttering no nonsense words in that eerie, quacks-a-lot tone. She ran after the open door, with Dustin, stumbling over for his shield, right after.

Before I followed, the Mrs. Potts had an unexpected passenger on her spout that called out, "Don't forget that pole thingy!" I looked over to see it was the familiar asian, Taka, drinking her tea with three different sized top hats on. She gestured over to the ground below me. The keyblade. I bent over and picked it up. A fairy dust-magic light fluttered over the blade to turn it green. I looked up and they were gone. So I forgot about them to catch up to the human duck and dog. A light blinded me as I tore through the doors.

It was bright outside, especially on top of a freshly snowed upon mountain top. Me with no sleeves. Dustin was hugging me from behind for some reason. Piper Duck was busy making footprints to see. Well... I guess he kept me warm... With his fur?

Suddenly Piper slipped off the edge and started snowboarding on one of her webbed feet, backwards, flailing and screaming in that raspy voice. Dustin stepped forward and peered over the edge to assess the situation. He asked, "Gawrsh, how'd that happen?" I was a little annoyed, so I took his circular shield off his back on the ground, pulled him down on it, and pushed him over to follow her.

I also had to look over the edge of the cliff and spectate the cohorts fleeting down the slope. I pulled out my green keyblade and used it as a snowboard to slip down the hill. Once I caught up with them, I somehow had to get off the mountain. I ended up doing this super cool trick with the keyblade down the mountain. I leaned back on the handle, kick the teeth of the key which flipped the key in the air and gave me some air, then as it span around its axis and inverted forward, I jumped on the handle and used it as a pogo stick while pinching the key's chain between my ankles to carry the keyblade with me as I soar up and grabbed the dragon's talon...

Oh yeah, there was a dragon.

(I always wonder if there's a guide book to this dream).

Dustin and Piper Duck landed on its back, while I was hanging like an ape on one of the dragon's feet. On the other foot, was a completely buff Taka, doing the same. I finally asked, "WTH are you up to?"

Taka simply replied, "The same thing you are. Here's that scroll by the by." She handed me a scroll of paper. When I opened up, I read it, but I didn't know what it said. I knew what it was in the dream, but I don't know what it was. Apparently there was an objective because I felt a serious look strike across my face.

The dragon flew by various airbourne objects. It passed 3 helicopters, 5 blimps, an airship, a pirate ship, a kite festival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, a river, a Rayquaza, and a whale.

We ended up at some space station in the sky. It had one circular room with three doors away from eachother. The walls were windows to the starry skies. Somehow, Taka, Dustin, Piper Duck, and I landed inside that thing. I walked up to one of the doors and read the scroll again. I tried kicking the door, and it opened the other door across the room. It was just a small dark room with nothing in it. I kicked my door again and the other door opened, with the same contents.

I backed up and Taka walked up to the door, puling out her fork and knife. She stabbed the door with the knife and poked the hole to make it look like a keyhole.

"There you are!" said Taka.

"But what about the other two doors?" I asked.

A giant burger flew outside the window...

"I got it!" Dustin said as he started balancing on his shield. Piper Duck tipped him over with her staff and stepped on his face. She gave me the big thumbs up.

I stood back from the door with the new keyhole and rose my green keyblade. A string of light shone through the tip of the blade to the door, lighting up the keyhole with a green, glittery light.

...

The End. XD
