Number 26: Fixed

After about a month of waiting, the blog feeder that I use on my facebook was finally fixed, so I figured I might as well write up an entry to celebrate. I could've gone ahead and went to a different provider, but it would've just been too much work. And after all, my provider would've had to start working again eventually, right? Well, it's here now, so I might as well tell what's happened the past month.

Uhh... so prom's coming up. Oh yes, prom prom prom prom prom prom prom prom promenade! Is it big news? Yes. Yes it is. After renting a tux, semi-securing a ride, and purchasing my ticket, I'm pretty much all set for the event on May 9th. Was it a lot of hard work? Oh yeah, way more work than it warrants. Was it expensive? Oh, beyond expensive, and probably even more so for other people. Is it going to be worth it? In the end, yeah, it will be worth it. Prom is the sort of thing that you only get a few times in your life, so you'd best not pass it up, whippersnapper. Y'know? It's the time that you look back upon fondly. And it's the one night of the year where everybody you know gets to be classy. Hooray for classy! Yeah, I'm not a stickler for fashion or anything like that, but it's nice to do it once in a while. What confuses me slightly is where it is. The place where they're holding it (which I've heard is a wonderful place) is practically an hour from town. It's kind of ridiculous, in my opinion. But hey, we are an elitist school, so of course we'd have to have the best kind of accommodations available. Duh!

As for other news, it's finally raining. Yup. Was nice and shining bright weather all last week, and the weathermen kept saying, "Man, do we need some rain. Oh yeah, come on rain!" So then, when it actually does rain, the first thing I hear on the news this morning is, "Well, it's a wet, dreary, and disappointing day today..." But weren't you just asking for rain a few days ago? Seriously! Make up your mind! People are just too fickle, you know? They complain in the summer because it's too hot, they complain in the winter because it's too cold. You really can't satisfy people, you know?

And LOST is dwindling down. Four weeks left of episodes, which is nice. Yep, finally some mysteries will be answered. Who live and who dies in the season finale? What exactly is the smoke monster? Who exactly is Jacob? And who the hell is in that coffin?!? Oh, the suspense is killing me!

That's it for now, catch you later!

Number 25: Never Gonna Give You Up

Never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.

Yeah... it seriously doesn't get any better than that. So today was enjoyable, or awesome, or great. Or I guess, in layman's terms, it was fun. Yeah, today was fun. M'best friend came over and we chilled, and that's really all you need to do to make a day great. Yeah! We played video games, sang songs, ate sandwiches, took walks down the train tracks, and picked up sticks. And we listened to Rick Astley! So yeah, like I said, doesn't get any better than that. It's really days like these where you can look out at that bright sunshine and go, "Ahh, this is what Life's all about!"

And since I got some work done, it makes the experience that much more meaningful. I mean, if I had just sat around and did nothing exciting, I'd have to go and do work afterwards. But I already did work, so therefore it was worthwhile...

Wait, what?

So now I get to relax for the remainder of the day. Chill out, watch some movies, etc. etc. I suppose that today's post really didn't have much meaning behind it, but who cares? It's my blog. Ha! Yeah, that's it for today, catch ya later.

Number 24: Monday, Monday

(Sorry if the page looks messy. Screwed up something with the font and color and such and I can't get it back. Oh well.)

The blog feeder on my facebook page isn't working. Sorry. If you use that to normally get here... well, it's not working. You'll have to just take the link at the top of the page, next to the thing that says Website. I'm about ready to get rid of the stupid thing... Perhaps just get a new application? Ehh.

So it's the first Monday of spring break. It certainly is nice out, oh yes. Very calm cool weather, a lot unlike the tremulous and terribly stormy weather the meteorologists predicted last week. "Rain all day, every day!" they said. Yeah... I don't see no rain out there. Sorry. All I see is spring. Yes. Glorious, sunny, shining, sweet-smelling spring. Quite possibly the best season of them all. I mean, think about it; nice fresh days, little to no precipitation (at least no snowstorms), and girls in their summer clothes. Does it get any better?

So finally, after weeks and weeks of deliberation, the Super Smash Bros. Brawl tournament has finally been greenlighted. Organization and such will commence over the next week or two, and the event will take place at the new high school on Thursday, May 15. In all honesty, I'm beyond excited; I'm ecstatic. Rarely do any of the plans I make up ever come to fruition, probably because I'm so quick to just give up. But not this time; this time I stuck with it, because it was something I thought would be fun, and because it was for a good cause. So probably going to discuss things such as regulations and advertising on Wednesday, and actually start putting up posters and such later next week. Huzzah!

So I'm a procrastinator. Probably not something I'd like to admit, but it's oh-so-true. Even still, that doesn't mean I don't get the work done, oh no. I get it done, and it's always top notch. But I mean, here's what I have to deal with this week:

• Run through the 30-40 interest letters I've gotten from colleges. They're literally piling up next to my dresser, and I haven't taken a single look at any of them...
• Get my driving permit. Seriously. Uhh, I've been sixteen for eight months now, so I guess it's time to get a move on.
• Work on the various projects and make-up work assigned to me over the vacation. I've got one book to read for English, a paper to write for Psychology, and a molecule project for Chemistry. Of course, even if I say I'll start it today in this blog, nothing's going to get done until Friday Saturday. Again, procrastinating.
• Organize regulations, advertisements, assistance, and such for the tournament. At least this is remotely fun. It's work, but it's fun work.
• Blog at least twice more this week since I didn't do any last week.

Vacation shouldn't be too bad, oh no, not at all. Hah! So that's pretty much it, I'll see you around.

Number 23: Number One Team in the Nation

And we still lost. One of the greatest players to ever come into the college basketball scene, and we still lost. Fighting against Stanford, a school with a tree for a mascot, and we still lost. A tree, for God's sake! Who has a tree as a mascot?!?

But in the end...

So yeah, I guess I came all the way to Tampa in order to just see them lose. I don't think anybody saw it coming, just like nobody saw the two big teams (UCLA and North Carolina) being booted out of the Men's Championship, either. Memphis for the win now, over Kansas. I'll bet my bank on that. Oh, so the second game around at St. Pete Times Forum, I figured I'd root for LSU because I didn't want the Lady Volunteers (yet another horribly obscure name for a team) to win. And of course, as if the day couldn't get any worse...

This happens.

So the final is Stanford vs. Tennessee. Although I really don't like either team, I'll root for Stanford because a) I hate Pat Summit and her stupid Lady Volunteers and b) the dancers on Stanford look like sluts. So at least it gives me something to watch on Tuesday.

So regardless of how the rest of the tournament turns out, I'm stuck here until Wednesday. I'm awfully surprised I'm complaining, but with my team not going to the finals, you really can't blame me for being a little bit disappointed. I'm staying in a nice hotel, though, with a minifridge filled with nice food and free Internet, and there's a huge mall right across the street. Plus, the beaches are nice and Busch Gardens is just a few minutes away. Even still, the whole trip would be a lot more fun if I was with my friends. Oh how I miss them dearly...

So I may or may not update again tomorrow or Tuesday, but I definitely will on Wednesday. Look forward to it, as well as a smorgashborg of new pictures on my facebook profile. That's it for now, see you later.

Number 22: Hero's Come Back!!!

After dreary weather, depressing tests, and unexpected encounters, today has seriously been the best day of the entire year. I'm being completely serious in saying that it could not get any better than this.

So the University of Connecticut women's basketball team beat their arch-rivals Rutgers in the Regional Finals last night, which I would normally be happy about. Instead, I'm psyched about it. My dad said that if UConn did win in the finals, then he would take me to Tampa to go to the 2008 Final Four. Well, they won, so I'll be gone for this weekend and part of next week to watch the women dominate the competition and reclaim their post as National Champions. I rarely ever leave New England, and have only been to Florida twice before, so this is like Christmas to me. Seriously, really really awesome.

I got my SAT scores back today as well. I've been worrying for the past month as to whether or not I did good, probably because of the horrible response that I gave on the essay portion of the Writing. People kept telling me that "I'd do fine" and that "you need not worry". Well, I did do a crappy job in the essay; I got a 66%, as a matter of fact. However, overall I got a score of 1890, even better than I had done on the PracticeSATs. So that's definitely something to holler about. I actually hollered too, when I read those scores. So much pressure off of my back it's indescribable. Or... maybe it is describable. The feeling is wonderful.

To top it all off, I've had little-to-no homework every single day this week, which is always an occasion to celebrate. Squee!

So tonight I'll chat with my best, eat some Pringles and watch American Idol in order to see who gets voted off. So yeah, suddenly all that "storm and stress" stuff from last week is fading away... Although it will come back, believe me. It always does.

Even still, I'm going to squeeze every single drop out of these awesome moments.

Carpe diem, people! Carpe diem.
