Over thanksgiving break, I was staying at my parent's house, where I ended up discovering that my mom and aunt are both terrified of the 2012 prophecy. Here's a transcript of what more or less went down

(  Mom: So Matthew, have you seen the previews for that 2012 movie? )

Did you know that my laptop killed itself a few days ago? It's true! So i got the fucker reformatted, and I got a bit of an *upgrade* as well. I now have Windows 7 installed on this baby, which is the operating system coming out after vista's done in a year. And I have to say, it's pretty cool (and completely not-hitlery as Randall Munroe would ( Read more... )

I came home for thanksgiving last night. Instantly, my mom gets back to her paranoid old self. I had to go to borders to get a book, and she keeps asking me if I need her to come with me and if I know where borders is and if i know how to buy a book. ughhhh.

Also, this weekend I'm going camping with Efron and Dave. My mom knew already, but just last ( Read more... )

paradise yogurt is officially the chillest place to work. all i really do is work the register and make smoothies. the rest of it is talking to whoever i'm working with and chilling out. also, it's a total taco fiesta, and the one other guy who's employed in the yogurt business is... actually, he's really wierd. we call him gopher cause he looks ( Read more... )

actually, they're both pretty bad.

The night before last at Ultrazone, we had to take in a big group of teenagers with the "Teen Tours" group. basically, it's little white kids with rich parents who think they can do whatever they want. assholes. anyways, so i go into the room to help them get their vests on, and there's this stupid ditzy girl with ( Read more... )

i don't even know where to BEGIN with this weekend.

on friday, andy gave me a ride home because my dad had the car. i sat at home and waited for my dad, so that i could be goed to band practice. finally he showed up, and i went. when i showed up, i walked into bianca's room, and noticed bianca asleep on the floor, and veronika wearing the cutest ( Read more... )

so little space to do it in.

i'll speak what i remember though. My camera decided to break on me. it leaves a nasty white blobby stripe over my pictures, increasing the amounts of suck to epic proportions. i DID manage to get some good pictures of san luis obispo, but there's that damned stripe!

anyways, i went to do some errands today. got gas (it ( Read more... )

i'm making a note here: Huge Success.

hm. it's been a while. what have i done? i don't remember. however, we DID get to watch part of  The Day the Earth Stood Still in mrs. brown's today. so far, here's the plot summary: it's about 1950, and the military's sitting around just chillin. then suddenly they notice a blip on the radar, some shit's ( Read more... )

my report card came in. let's start off with what i knew i had: i knew i'd get an A in photo, a C in chem, an A in cartooning, a C in shulze, and Baldwin personally confirmed to me that i would get a B-. my report card comes in with all of those correct except - heyoooo! - baldwin gave me a C+ after he TOLD ME i had a B-. and that it was my final ( Read more... )

is because i got in a massive fight the day before last with my parents. it was about college too: basically, my mom thinks that we qualify for financial need when my dad and i both have shown her over and over again that we will not get any need-based money. but then we started on how much work i'd been putting into scholarships and the horrible ( Read more... )
