"Did this happen seperate, or was it one swift motion?"

I hung out with Katie this afternoon... it was weird, because for the first time since school started we could hang out as long as we wanted because neither of us had homework. We made a video, a music video for "Sadie Hawkins Dance" by Relient K, but it screwed up in uploading, so I'll post a link at a later date when it's fixed.

I saw a this video and thought it might amuse the few people who read this blog. It's a song about how guys shouldn't be afraid to cry. I especially love the end.

And nothing else noteworthy...

Life was good. Until I looked at what I have to do in the next week.

Today the weather was amazing. So amazing that I went to the store and got ice cream. I spent all of the afternoon outside, and the nice weather put me in a picture taking mood:

My last picture is from the mitten that I knitted this weekend. I was so excited when I finished it. Now I just need to make another one. Then some to give people for Christmas.

Also on my to do list: 

- Three minute french speech to be written and memorized by next Monday

- Pride and Prejudice essay to be finished... the conclusion and half a paragraph about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's marriage. 

- guitar to be practiced

- A Horse and his Boy, Prince Caspian, and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to be read.

How I'm going to write and memorize a three minute french speech in a week is a mystery. But one step at a time.

Dracula.

Tonight I'm going to see Dracula at Simonds, due to wanting to see my Simonds friends and getting out of the house at the same time. I was going to go to the dance at my school tomorrow, but out of realizing how much I hate the idea of going to a dance, I'm going to go to youth group instead.

I've decided that, after having mixed feelings about it, I actually like IB. It gets me to put my time and effort into something that might actually get me somewhere, eventually.


Oh, and in important news, Doctor Who Day is on November 23, I believe. Definitely important stuff.

You could die.

I think that I should post pictures more often, but unfortunately, plugging my camera into the computer and exporting pictures is a lot of effort.

I had bus safety today, the day a year where they park buses outside the school and teach students how to be safe on a bus. They then have bus drivers tell us what not to do for 10-15 minutes, and then let us have a dramatic exit by hurling ourselves out the back door. Today, the bus driver was exceptionally monotone. He rambled on for the full fifteen minutes about stupid things that kids have done on buses, that with any common sense could be avoided. Such as running on ice, smoking dope, throwing things out the windows, etc. He ended each segment with the phrase,"Or you could die," or "Or you could kill someone." After a while it grew far more comical than serious, and there were a few points where couldn't help but I cracked up. One would think from hearing his spiel that school buses where the most dangerous things out there.

Yesterday, when we were collecting food, an old lady told Katie to be careful while living on the streets. I don't think the lady got the idea of a "food drive."  One man said to me that he liked my beard, and I had a Ke$ha moment.
