Stupid weather..!
Today wasn't very friendly... OK, bullshit, it wasn't that bad.
I finished rewriting my final copy for the research paper this morning, and as I started to print it out, the following problems occured with my printer
I was trying to finish the math HW in homeroom; I couldn't do it. BUT I did participate a lot. Well, that and the fact half the class couldn't do it (slackers... hah). I think Dziedzic might give me some lee-way. And in Spanish, I thought I had the Ch. 4 questions due (hey, this one was one of those last-minute rememberances -- is that even a word?) but found out it's due Monday. Physics test was easier than imagined. Davis wasn't in class again -- I hope his wife is OK. Taaffe's test... psh, failed, BUT I did get to tease Stef some more =) that's always good lol
I got a little upset in band today. The brass had 7 pts, woodwinds had what? 4? And the percs had -3 (negative three). Well, Tafrow said the last question was a 10-point question, so wouldn't the brass and percs be tied since they are the only ones who got it right? ugh I wanted pizza, too (obviously, Tafrow decided percs were the grand champs). meh It was harmless fun, but I'm stubborn lol But seriously, we answered 3 questions right, and the percs lost 3 points 'cause Amanda said a "suite" is a large room at the top of a hotel lol (that was a good one, too).
wtf, where am I going with all of this? Screw it all...
Kinda felt cranky earlier and was ready to skip the first part of guard. You see, I have this thing where I'll take a nap for an hour or two so that I'm "charged" for the rest of the day -- it's how I make up for lack of sleep. I didn't get that sleep... wanted to, though. Still do. But I went anyway. It wasn't too bad. I actually had some fun. Laina and I almost dropped Krista (sp?); she finally stood on our laps but slowly began to fall forward. heheh One of those had-to-be-there moments. My costume is awesome, minus the fact my hat doesn't fit and that it interferes with "the roll". grr
Ya know, for some reason, I still feel like an outsider in guard. I guess being the only guy there helps contribute to that feeling, but there's something else, too. Like, some of them I can get along great with -- Kristin, Claire, Laina, etc. -- while others I'm ok with, like Malorie, for example. But then there are others who I can't seem to "break the ice" with. It's kind of frustrating, too, because I've seen these people for weeks now, excluding marching season, but yet I can't get more than a few words out of them. Here are some examples.
Me: Do you even talk?
anonymous 1: Yeah ::nods and smiles::
Me: I have a belief that Jesus wore my socks once before.
anonymous 2: Because they're holy? (holey**)
Me: (while looking at sock) ...you've heard this joke before.
So the second person actually had a sense of humor in my example, which I greatly appreciate, but... I dunno. It's just that I see them always having fun and joking around with everyone else and I suppose I want to be able to just chat and joke around, too. In fact, I just wind up going to the same people all the time, and usually they're what I consider "chat buddies" -- people I can talk to with no problem, but the conversations are usually thin. Ya know what? I'm done with this topic... and btw, this little rant wasn't geared towards putting anyone down.
!WARNING! The following paragraph is "graphic in content".
At the end of the night, we started putting tables back; I lost control of one and it ran over my toe. In fact, not only did it run over my toe, but it even bent the nail back and everything. Hurt like a mofo, too. I used some nail slippers to clip the nail away, then used some scissors to pop the "blood blister"... ahh, relief ^^ Wasn't as bloody as I expected tho, and now I don't have a huge purple buldge sticking out from my toe nail. lol
Watched Bridgette Jones's Diary 2 (sp?) It was ok. It's kinda hard seeing Renee Zelwigger with a few extra pounds like she had in the film... didn't suit her. Then again, I was raised seeing her as a slim person... anyway, yeah. An ok film for a rainy day.
Now that the topic passed my mind, I find myself surprised that I've been talking to Marissa a lot more lately. At first I was in to that whole "I wanna get to know her better" phase (the innocent way of saying I'd like to take her out some time), but after a while she seemed like a real bitch (pardon the french, and the lack of vocab thereof). But I guess all this being dropped off by Kim and "playfully bickering" with Marissa as to why I should get shotgun at least once has lead to me restart the idea of saying Hi without fearing she'd rip my head apart lol Surprisingly she's not all that bad of a person... once you peel away the sarcasm and loud laughing/screaming/manly grunting haha
11:01 = bed time. caio.

I finished rewriting my final copy for the research paper this morning, and as I started to print it out, the following problems occured with my printer
- Printer couldn't detect the nice stack of paper sitting in the tray
- The ink cartridge wasn't moving
- Everything started to function... until the paper feeder started cramming up all the paper together.
