GO PINK TEAM

FRIDAY WAS SPORTS DAY. WOOOOOOO! GO PINK TEAM!




Excited for Sports Day!


Haha...this shirt lies on any other day ;P


CHECK OUT THAT SUNBURN AAAH

So yeah, I was on the Pink Team...yeah...I know.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, we tied for 4th (out of 17). Everyone thought we would completely fail: nope >:)
Edit: haha Sports Day is like Field Day...:)

Then Sunday was the WIS Bazaar. That was very fun! :) 9:30-11 was setup, 11-1 I sold flowers (why I got chosen to do that is beyond me), but then the best part: 1-3 I made snow cones for lots of kids (with Amé's help!)! Haha I also took like a half hour break...that wasn't very smart but it was FUN cuz I dunked a friend in the dunk tank ;P
Haha we all got "Worker Bee" shirts :D


OH! MONDAY WILL BE AMAZING: Grade trip to Florida! We're going to lots of theme parks and doing FUN stuff! I'll try to keep updating...can't guarantee anything - I'm pretty busy/lazy :~) Well anyway, I should go finish/do most of my homework...goodbye :)

I dedicate this post to Krista, who I know was dying to see that shirt. ;)

Alice

I saw my school's play last night, Alice. It's a creepy version of Alice in Wonderland with some comedy. It was so awesome to see my friends, who have been rehearsing for hours a day for the past month or two, finally perform. IT WAS AMAZING. I think I'm going back tonight to see it again. Everything really was that good: script, acting, costumes, makeup, set, casting, EVERYTHING. Pure magical genius.


UPDATE: I walked over a mile in the rain to see Alice again. I was too late, so I had to kill time outside for 45 minutes alone. I missed the first act, but the second was amazing. The actors, some of them my good friends, are really good! :)

About Updates-

I've found that I'm updating every other day. Check here for updates then. Cha-ching!


I have another deadly English paper. I've been trying hard to write/not actually writing much all day. It's due Tuesday and I've got about a paragraph. 4 to go!
Good news is that I have almost no homework for Tuesday, so I should be free to finish it up then. :) I'm not mad/hating the paper anymore, either.

For those of you expecting a real post after over two months...Fail.

Miniminimini post...ummmmmm except not at the end

This is really short. Because I don't feel like writing. So yeah.

Uh, school is good. I'm like 90-95% done with my personal project. The Personal Project Fair is one week from today. Then it's all over!

Break is at the end of next week ANDICANTWAIT but yeah.

Vaughn's coming down tonight. He's staying through after Christmas sometime.

I like pandas.

Uh uh uh...I'm making more friends? Life is going well. It's almost time to do our preliminary choices for the IB program next year. I'm just gonna explain that really quickly...

So Middle School, 9th, and 10th grades make up the Middle Years Program for the International Baccalaureate program (IB). 11th and 12th are the like the actual IB Program. So we have to pick our classes, which are divided into 6 groups:

Group 1 - First Language (Language A1)
English A1
Spanish A1
French A1
Dutch A1

This is your native language. For me it's English (haha well duh...)

Group 2 - Second Modern Language
French A2
Spanish A2
Dutch A2
English A2 (non-native speakers)

French B
Spanish B
Dutch B
English B?

French/Spanish/Dutch ab initio*
Almost any other language ab initio*

*Course is designed for beginners (don't know anything about the language)

Group 3 - Social Sciences
History
Geography
Economics

Group 4 - Experimental Sciences
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Environmental Systems and Societies

Group 5 - Mathematics
Math
Math Studies

Group 6 - Arts and Electives
IB Art
IB Theater
IB Music
IB Computer Science
OR ANY COURSE FROM GROUPS 1-4

In addition: each course can be taken at the Standard or Higher level. HL meets more times per 8-day cycle than SL and is generally harder (ie. more material, or more compositions, or more literature, etc.)

Most students take 3 HL and 3 SL, plus an AMDJ (Arts, Music, Drama, Journalism--NOT an elective; elective is separate) course. You aren't required to take any HL classes, and the max is 4, but only if you can make a good case why you should be allowed to take 4.


So now that I've confused you, I'll let you know what cours-I'll take your wallet! Haha no...these are the courses I think I might take:

English A1 Higher
French B Higher (possibly French A2 Standard)
IB Art Higher

Math Standard
History Standard
Biology Standard
AMDJ: ?

I would really like to take Spanish or Japanese ab initio though...we'll see what happens.


OK SO now that I've bored you and all that with IB blahblah and random junk...I dunno. There's not much else to talk about. Oh how about Christmas Break!

So through Christmas I'll be here in DC. As I said, Vaughn's coming down tonight. My grandparents from Florida are coming up on Christmas Eve. Then, the day after Christmas, we all go down to someplace in South Carolina to meet up with my cousins and family. Should be pretty fun.

Ok yeah I really need to end this post I'm even getting bored with it. So yeah that's my life for now.

Advisory

I'm in advisory with my friend/creeper Elsa!

Hah...she got everyone's attention and they all started coming over to see.

Monday, November 24, 2008

Hooooo boy

Oh my. I think I've done it again. I just don't have time to post as often...

So what have I been up to? Uh...well...Oh!
I came up to Pittsburgh as you all know! That was fun. Let's do that again sometime :)

I'm trying to convince my parents to take me up to Sewickley for Semi, but, sadly, I don't really think that will happen.


I went to a sweet 16 on Friday from 7:30 to midnight. It was this awesome dance party - lots of fun! Some of you have already been Facebook stalking me and have seen the pictures...*shudder* It was really cool though because it was a Devils/Angels themed party, so I went out and got this slick white tie. I'll put pictures up as soon as I get them from my brother...


In other news, my personal project is going pretty well. For those of you who have forgotten (like I would have), the personal project is a long-term interest-based project. For example, mine is learning to paint, and I've been working on it for the past three months. Most of the other students have been working on theirs through the summer.
I've gotten a decent amount of work done, so I'm happy. Would you like to see pictures of what I've done, or is that unimportant?


Hm...Oh. Well, I got a new iPod too. I had birthday money that I felt I should spend. Considering that everything else I wanted to buy, my mom told me "Your relatives are going to be asking about Christmas soon. What should I tell them", a new Nano was the only logical choice (Wow, I've successfully made it sound like I HAD to buy something and that there was this long drawn-out process!)...I really like it. It's shiny and red and it plays music! Haha, that's good enough for me ;)
But yeah, you can read about the new Nanos on Apple's website or Wikipedia. I really don't feel like writing it, heh...

And speaking of Apple and music, I found an iTunes gift card in a pile of already used cards that I for some reason kept. Lucky me! Haha...


Uh, let's see. What else is there...Heh, I really love being able to write in colloquial (everyday) language here. It makes life so much more enjoyable.

[GARRET used Colloquial Language!]
[GARRET's Quality of Life rose greatly!]

Haha...yeah...now I feel lame.
...Too bad :)


Ah. I'm back to the age-old question: What instrument do I want to play?
For a while I've thought the guitar, or preferably the bass guitar, would be that magic instrument. Now I'm having second thoughts...maybe I should pick the piano back up? Or how about I learn something completely CRAZY! But that would mess with my logic: the reason why I'm unsure about the bass guitar is because the kind of people who play it do not equal my persona. But I still think I should play it!

H'ok, moving on. Tomorrow is our last day of school! Then we have break which means...THANKSGIVING! I think this is the first time I've ever been EXCITED for Thanksgiving - and it has nothing to do with no school!...well, maybe partly...
I think it's because I keep seeing ads on TV with good Thanksgiving turkey, and now I want some OM NOM NOM


Hm...Haha, I watched the second half of The Santa Clause on the Disney Channel the other day. Then when it ended I watched last 2/3rds of The Karate Kid, Part II. Very good movie. Lemme give a quick rundown on why it's such a great movie:
It's not cheesy.
The fighting may not seem so real, but it's definitely serious. (i.e. people actually appear hurt, no one's a superhuman, etc.)
No one is all good or all bad.
It's set in Okinawa, Japan.
The music for the calmer scenes is well-composed.

The movie portrays love in a way lost to our society: in the 2/3rds I watched, there was one kiss (I think it may have been interrupted just before, though). Romance did not mean physical attraction or sex. It meant wanting to spend time with that person and wanting to protect them.

That's what I call a quality movie. That's just my opinion; to each his own.


What else is there to talk about...hm. Well. Here's a message for each of you who reads this.

Tom: Keep talking to me. It's fun and it keeps me away from homework.

Krista: I haven't talked to you in so long! We should totally have a late night/early morning chat while I'm supposed to be doing a project! Haha...do we dare try to name all 150 Pokemon again? HAHAHA YES

Alex: ALEX YOUR HAIR IS AWESOME

Chrissy: I'm still in shock that you read my WHOLE BLOG in one night! Haha we hardly talk...ah well, we will sometime. :P

Timmy: Are you still in Spain? How is it? Hope you're having an awesome year.



Have a nice day. - Bon Jovi

HOLY XIZOR!

It's been over two weeks! I'm so sorry I've put you all to tears from boredom! I know you count on this blog to actually enjoy life, so I'M SORRY! YOUR POOR PEOPLE!
Well, thank goodness! I have come to resuscitate you with my lovely, exciting life! And it has been indeed exciting...

PSAT
Too easy.

HOMECOMING

Amazing. After school there were 3 games: Varsity Volleyball and the Varsity soccer teams. That was really exciting. If you check Facebook soon (Krista, GET A FACEBOOK FOR ME!), I *may* change my picture to one from after the games. So I've discovered it's actually very fun and entertaining to go to soccer games after school. Here, people actually want to go to games. At Sewickley I never got that feeling, but whatever, I don't like comparing.

After the games there was a free dance at 7:00. It was lots of fun, too! I was one of the earliest people there (most people didn't come till after 7:30 or 8:00, poop on them), and at first it was kind of boring. As people started to arrive, all the guys (except me and the other new guys X[) clumped together against a back wall. Every five minutes you would look over and see them at the other side of the wall. Then another five minutes and they were back to their starting place. In short: they wouldn't dance. I'm just too cool to clump and not dance ;)

After a while about 85% of the 10th graders made a giant, amoeba-like blob and slowly began dancing. The other 15% either didn't dance or was cool - the cool group was where I was. We were the ones who legit enjoyed ourselves and had a lot of fun. Too bad about the other guys... >)_>)

Anyway, to wrap this up, Homecoming was really great. I gave up on having no life and did something with myself. And to think I wasn't going to go ;)

SCHOOL

School's been going pretty well. Last week was pretty rough, though. Monday was a major history test that I needed to do well on (and sort of did...better than last time). Tuesday I had two English projects due and I was supposed to have a math test. Our math teacher is so cool, though, that he postponed the test because (he's the coach) the Girls Varsity soccer team won! SO that was pushed back until Thursday or Friday. On the topic of test dates, I've found a lot of teachers, if there's a test date issue with part of the class, will give you a choice between two days. That means that each one of us can pick when we want to take the test, not just as a whole class. Pretty cool, pretty cool. :) So I took that math test Friday, Halloween, and I'm 99% sure I got EVERYTHING RIGHT. I checked my work, plugged things back in, all that. I think I got a perfect. But that was just part of my Halloween... ;}


THE BEST HALLOWEEN EVER

Friday. Friday Friday Friday. Haaaaalloween. Costume and candy day. Friday, Halloween.


I painted my costume Thursday night. Friday was showtime. As my mother drove the van up the drive to the school, I saw that no one was dressed up - I was. Crap. Crap crap crap. Hooooly Xizor. What do I do if I'm somehow mistaken? What if no one dressed up?
But they had to. People were telling me what they were going to dress up as. But-But maybe they meant for tonight! Crap, what do I do?
Oh wait! Someone said she wasn't wearing her costume to school so I wouldn't see it. It sounded like she meant too bad I can't! Oh...maybe she didn't mean that! Maybe...maybe she meant she wasn't GOING to! CRAAAAAP!

We arrived at the top of the drive. Still no one dressed up. SHIZZZNNIIIT. WHAT DO I DO. I had a change of clothes, but I still wasn't sure. I get out of the car and the traffic guy (or whatever he is) kind of half-smiled, half-laughed. OH MY GOODNESS WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?! Well, my mom had told me earlier "Rock that costume!", so I guess that's all I can do!...right?

As I walked to the building with our lockers (the Carriage House), STILL no one had a costume on. I should have known...I turned toward the door nervous as heck to be the only one who dressed up. As I got closer, I could see through the glass - people had costumes! I opened the door and saw down the hallway on either side people who had dressed up. Hooray! Immediately people reacted to my costume too: "Cool!" "Wow Wally! Nice costume!" "Wallace, that's so cool!" "Dude, he's got some comic book action going on!"

SWEET. TOTAL SUCCESS. I really did rock that costume! Not once for the rest of the day did I feel self-conscious about wearing it - skillzzzz. Now one sec, lemme go get my dad's camera and take those pictures off of it...brb

Here they are!






I AM TWO-FACE.

If you're wondering how I did that, I painted an old suit ;)
So I totally rocked the costume. Then I rocked out.


COLDPLAY

I went to the Coldplay concert on Halloween. It was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, and all I can really say is that it was so much fun. You know, it's kind of hard to describe concerts, isn't it? What can you say? You really just had to be there...



So as you can see, life really is interesting. Worth living, isn't it. ;)

Oh, and look up Xizor, why don't you. :]

Thank you all for your lovely comments!


When Plans Fall Down.
--It was 12:30, or 1:00, or later, or something. I don't know the time, but it was late. The door opened, but I remained still. My vision was hazy at best, and it was dark. A figure appeared in the doorway. A strained, tired, eerily cheerful voice softly called out, "Garret. Garret." What do they want? What could they possibly want to do now? Please just leave me alone!
But that's not how they work. They get what they want - there are almost no conditions.
"Look who's here for you."
A new silhouette appears, close to the cold bed. It isn't one of the regulars, not like the old man who sometimes comes. Who is it?
As I look up, something strikes me about his head, and it clicks in mine.
Curly hair - Vaughn!
Vaughn came down to visit! YES! I thought Mom was waking me up so dad could say goodnight, but this is much better.
I had talked to Vaughn a couple hours before, and he told me how he has almost a week of no classes. When I asked what he was going to do, he said he'd be biking and crap. I found out the next morning he meant biking in DC.--

Vaughn drove 4 hours on Friday starting at like 9:00 to come down to DC. Pure awesomeness. He stayed through Wednesday, which was great. It was even better because it was a surprise visit!
And then my grandparents came too! So everyone was in DC! Tons of fun.


Quand il pleut la musique sort and quand il pleut la musique vient aussi

Je trouve que quand il pleut, je ne pense plus de la musique. Il n y'en a plus. Il sort. J'entends beaucoup la pluie et je l'aime. C'est presque impossible, ou peut-être vraiment impossible d'écouter mon iPod. Quand il pleut, il y a une autre musique dans le ciel. Vous le savez? Cette musique vous arrive aussi? Je vient de trouver ce phénomène...


DC

DC is one of the best cities and one of the worst cities. You can understand partly why DC is great; there's so much to do! There are monuments, museums, the Metro, buses to ride, places to go! But there's more. There's diversity, culture, places to eat, small shops to visit, livability, there's life.

But DC has a bad side. I'm not talking about the crime or the homeless. I'm talking about what some people have to do to live here. Children start going to daycare at outrageously young ages. Both parents have to work so much. There are more people with nannies than with dogs. There are probably a large number of people, foreigners especially, who do not fully understand how everything works in DC. Life in DC for many people is very stressful and full of work, and their children are raised by teachers and nannies. I find that kind of sad.


Pens-Caps at Pittsburgh

So I actually watched the Penguins-Capitals game the other night. The Pens were destroying the Caps 3-0 for most of the game, but then what happened? The Caps totally came back and tied the score. Then, as the game was nearing its end, there was a tricky shot made by the Caps. It went toward the net but shot back out so quickly it was unclear what happened. The shot went into review. It turns out it didn't hit the outer post (like some were hoping), but that it actually hit the post in the middle of the goal. Tricky. It counted, and the Caps won 4-3. Hmm.

What I can't decide is if that's good or bad. I live in DC, but I used to live in Pittsburgh. I never really got excited about the Pens until the end, but then again I'm not really thrilled by the Caps yet either...Who do I like?

PSAT & Homecoming

I take the practice PSAT tomorrow morning at 8:15. Three hours of testing. UGH. But that then leads to...homecoming! I wasn't originally going to go, but now I am. Should be pretty fun, but the last dance I went to (Semi) sucked. So we'll see. Although a dance at this school might actually be ok.


Aiyaaah! One mooore thing!

Last thing, I promise. Well, no I don't. Uh...nevermind then.
So I stayed after school and watched a WIS soccer (I actually prefer calling it football though) match. I actually ended up enjoying it. Good for me, right? The reason why I bothered writing this is because I don't think I've EVER gone to a school game at any school, unless I was in it or it was my brother's. What I mean is I've never been to a game just to go to it and have fun. I'm so lame...it's kind of sad. But I've discovered that *gasp* they're actually quite fun. I want to go to the next one! Hooray...


Well, that's all folks! I'll have more after the practice PSAT and homecoming tomorrow, but it might be Sunday. We'll see what happens.
Goodbye, world.

THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD

This blog should never die.

So yeah, school is really cramping up my life. Poo. Less time for blog/computer/fun/life. Damn.
So yeah, sorry I haven't updated in 10 days (read: FOREVER). I don't even really know what to say...
Ugh if anything this post is turning into a "Garret is still alive and so is this blog" post. That sucks. I need something to write about.....


Oh, here's something I guess. Mr. Vaughn Wallace and Ms. Alexandra Bailey came down to DC this weekend. That was fun. We didn't really "do" much, just mostly walked around...Alex left earlier today, Vaughn leaves tomorrow. I'm staying.

So yeah, Vaughn came home sick with a fever. I think I caught it, but I don't have the magic fever that will keep me out of school. But that's not why I want a fever. At the risk of sounding like some crazy psycho who has mental disorders, I'm going to say this: I miss the feeling of having a fever. I've forgotten what it's like to feel all warm then get the chills. I want to experience that again. In fact, I feel sorry for Tom Cruise and his "immunity" to illness. Hah. Sucks to be him. He doesn't get to really live. Illness and death are part of life, and if you were to eliminate one of them from your life, you may as well embrace the other forever; give up illness, go ahead and take death; give up death, better increase how much illness you get - otherwise your life is as boring as living in nothing. Savvy?

Heh heh heh...I watched some of POTC 2 and most of the first. I just couldn't watch the whole things though. Ah well. Still good. Speaking of movies, I want to see all 6 Star Wars movies in a row sometime. I just don't know where that time is going to come from.

Oh, I found something cool out. For those of you who both use iTunes and regularly go to Starbucks: next time you go to Starbucks, pick up a Song of the Week card. Then go home and get your free iTunes download. I've discovered that's a good way to find good new music and experience different styles of music you may not listen to otherwise. I love it. Maybe you will too.

So Sports Day (read: Field Day for older kids) is this Friday. I'm on the Pink team. Hooooow fun. I had to buy a pink shirt because, heck, I don't own one! So I figured if I'm buying one I'm buying a shirt I'll wear again. I picked one that I thought I might wear again: it's a shirt that says in white letters "REAL MEN WEAR PINK". Pretty fly. [Did I really just say something was "fly"? Yes, yes I did.]

So...you may have noticed that my posts are fewer and longer. I'm happy with that. Are you? If not, I can try to update more. The only troubles with daily or regular updates: 1) I feel obligated to post, and 2) I don't have as much to say.
On the contrary, irregular posting can turn my blog into a massive spam dump. But I think I'll stick with this for now, unless of course all 3 or 4 of you who read this don't like that. Just lemme know, or don't because I usually don't get replies when I ask for them, yet when I don't I get 2358798659649917247243907534 replies. So whatevs.


I'm officially out of things to say...wait not yet. School! Change in routine: Mom drives me to school in the morning, and I usually walk home. Fun! Oh and I brought Major after school one day and EVERYONE loved him. YES! SCORE FOR ME AND THE DOG! Oh! And I wrote my two rough drafts for the school newspaper. I don't really know if they're any good, but I feel content that I'm part of a Journalism class. And uh...oh. I'm actually learning in French. Weird. And Bio still sucks. And and and and...uh...yeah.

Hope you're all pleased with this megapost.
This is Garret Wallace (Gart, GWW, Gary, Wally, Wallmaster, Wallynator, Gar, Gargar, haha E-callaw, and all those good names) SIGNING OFF. lol newscast...

School Update time!

So I noticed from questions from this person who goes by the name of "Krista". This person is clearly acting under the identity of an generic unknown such as to retain his/her anonymity. If you have found that your safety and security depend on the secrecy surrounding your identity, yet also feel the explicit need to reveal your true self to me for want of connection or private talk, you may do so. Contact me privately at wallynator@gmail.com.


So, I will now respond to said questions from "Krista". Let me begin.

Q: "so you said you had 5 hour-long periods per day, do you just like not have every class every day?"
A: Correct. I only have 5 classes a day, meaning therefore I could very well have a lesser number of academic classes than art classes.

Q: "do you only have five hours of school plus lunch, or how does that work?"
A: School begins promptly at 8:15 A.M. with our Homeroom meeting. Then the day continues with the first three periods, lasting from 8:30 to 9:30, from 9:35 to 10:35, and from 10:40 to 11:40. Then all students go to Lunch from 11:40 to 12:35. Then we end the day with Periods 4 and 5, lasting from 12:40 to 1:40 and then from 1:45 to 2:50. The day ends here at 2:50.

Q: since math classes are not divided by topics, does everybody in a grade take, like, the same course? and what do they call the courses?
A: No, not precisely. All students in grade 10 take similar math courses, but depending on the teacher the speed and/or difficulty level changes. Each course is simply called "Math".

If you find yourself with any further questions, simply post them here. I will answer all questions presented before me, as long as they are appropriate and able to be answered by myself. Thank you for your time reading this post.



Ok, so lemme give you an update on school. Obviously, today is Thursday, but did you know...today was H day! I've survived my first cycle! Tomorrow it's back to A day. Here's my schedule for tomorrow, if you're interested:

Math
French
PE
LUNCH
Journalism
SPORTS DAY ASSEMBLY (normally History)

SPORTS DAY?!!!???!!!!11?!/!/?!!??!??!?!!!!! WHAAAAT?!
Oh yeah. Field Day for big kids.
So the assembly takes place of my History quiz. But more importantly, it goes over Sports Day (w00t) and gives us some clue of what we're doing. They put up a massive list of who is on what color team. The teams have kids from all grades, 6-12, so it should be very fun. Now go on, guess what color I am......I said guess!





...Pink.


Bleh, not that I have anything against pink, but I seriously don't want to wear it. Just no.


But moving on. So I've learned Life Skills is a repeat of last year, Bio has a bunch of carry-over information (stuff I've already learned that they're learning for the first time), and French actually isn't so so bad. Goody.

So that's all I really have to say. Woop-di-do.

A note to "Krista": I love your idea, but I think I'm a little confused. This is what he/she said:

"you could use your design tech and 2D art skills to create a model of it!
then in your essay you could write about how you're an active member of the exclusive PokeMafia and are using this project to raise awareness about everyone's favorite POCKET MONSTERS!"

I get the essay part, but what do you mean by creating a model of it? Like a 3D model of my own P world? Cuz that would be sick.


DAMN these posts are getting long...

Onomatopeia & Shmorgasbord

In my world that means a bunch of random stuff. Appropriate title, no?

I have a school orientation thing Thursday. Bleh. School starts, as I said, the same day as SA, Sep. 2.

Today I talked with some people who are new to my church. Thank goodness there's actually someone else out there who knows things about language. They understand the similarities and differences, etc. etc. and all that jazz.

I need to buy a guitar. I don't know what to get though. If ANYBODY knows anything about buying a guitar *coughTomcough*, talk to me, cuz I've got questions and whatnot!

I'm nervous for school. I mean granted everyone is usually nervous before school, new or not, but this is crazy. New school, new friends, new curriculum/academic program, new city, new ways to get to school. Not really fun. But enough of that bad talk.


So, I've taken some new pictures of myself and some other cool pics! And, they would be here except the*twitch*friggin........cord*twitchtwictch*..............is..............MIIIIIIIIISSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!! GAH! I can't upload any pics from my camera until I either A) find it B) replace it or C) buy a cardreader.
NOTICE: IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE WHEREABOUTS OF A CORD YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I'M COUNTING ON YOU PEOPLE TO FIND IT!

I See Skies of Blue, Everything else too

No red roses this time. Just blue.

I made my trip to Pittsburgh. Now I'm really gloomy. Not only are my friends in Pittsburgh, now my own brother is there too. Why did I move?

Poo. School is gonna suck. I have some thing a week from today I have to go to, then school starts Sep. 2. Same as all you. Stupid school, why did you have to go all seasonist and prejudice against warm, happy seasons? Why did you enslave summer and make it not unending?

I think my eyes have stopped picking up any other color besides blue. Or maybe my brain is malfunctioning and receives everything as a shade of blue. Or maybe everything really is blue. Whichever one it is, it's making me sad.

I miss my friends, I miss Vaughn, I miss spending time with real people in person, I miss being happy. I miss the world.
