My favorite? &
The ampersand is the Text alphabet's Rube Goldbergesque form of "and". No one can make a good ampersand. It's almost physically impossible.
Anyway, I can't cuss for the next week half because I want Erik to pay me three dollars, and half because of sympathy pains for my girlfriend, who is also on non-cussing for Lent. I should've started earlier for this reason, as she's gonna be cussing next week probably, and it'll be disconcerting. Oh well. Kill me now.
Also, girls with blonde curls are evil. Case in point, my faux-novel. More on that later.
Lay Me Down in Sheets of Linen
9 April, 2006 at 12:12 am (Music and Movies, Social Disorder)
I had a busy day today. Water heater broke, cold shower. Had a date. Woke up pretty late, so now I got to go to bed early. Now I’m listening to the Breeders and Elton John pretty loud. Cannonball by The Breeders is one of those songs that seperates the Breeders from bands like Sonic Youth and Radiohead. It’s so radio friendly.
Unlike Cannonball and the Breeders, Elton John has a lot of songs that can make the list of songs that you can sing in public. Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Tiny Dancer (as evidenced in Almost Famous), and Saturday Night’s Alright. He’s pretty damn talented. Right now, both artists are in my hot playlist for the week, along with Oasis’s Columbia and The Importance of Being Idle, and Jethro Tull’s Aqualung and Thick as a Brick.
Damn, I’m bored. I think I’ll get some ice cream. Also, I don’t have any film ideas this week. All creative effort is in my English project right now.
March and Everything After

This is the point where everything that sucked starts going away because it’s so close to our leaving school. Also. What the hell?
Everyone’s always so uptight second semester. Always. I say we start a Chill Out campaign and just beat the shit out of anyone who takes everything so damn hard. Also, people need to learn how to take a joke. The right way. I think it’s that everyone is busy or something every damn weekend. I think I’m the only one free for any type of activity. Who do I blame? Myself. I think it’s my lack of family life. Actually, scratch that. I blame my family.
Also, Zombie fever. I think I’ll start writing my screenwriting/writing ideas on here. It’s organized better.
Very Busy Weeks

Last two weeks were really challenging for some reason. No idea why. Maybe I’ll write tomorrow or the next day. I really feel like shit though. And I can’t write. I need sleep, or just…rest. I think rest is the greatest thing ever, and time is the most valuable thing ever. Oh boy. I need more time for everything.
Getting Over It
7 February, 2006 at 9:17 pm (School, Social Disorder)
I got sick to shit the past few days. Meh. Didn’t miss much at school. My body aches. I got to do Algebra homework. The play went good. I’m happy.
I’m happy.
Black Hole Cont.
26 January, 2006 at 10:54 pm (School, Social Disorder)
So this black hole thing is really starting to sink in. I think my high school career has reached one of those points where friend circles start getting tighter. Everyone’s getting tired of each other. I guess it’s natural. I have about four best friends now…very little acquaintances, and a girlfriend. That’s now the spectrum of high school. I don’t envy the more popular kids, because the sheer amount of social noise they have to deal with is almost exponentially greater than mine. It doesn’t help that schoolwork is screwing things up.
This leads me to what I believe to be the Social Timeline everyone goes through from Kindergarten up to the final years of high school.
Kindergarten: The optimal level of friendship. The most basic of relationships of society is the one where two people share the same favorite color and become best friends.
1st and 2nd Grade: Ah, this is the point where you evolve to the types of relationships which yield the first signs of anger. The son of a bitch stole one of your oreos? Ignore him. Maybe tell on him, but this is already past the point where now snitching is frowned upon. Your friends usually sit by you, or have some kind of location-convenience relationship.
3rd and 4th Grade: The shit hits the fan. I’ve seen fights and crap. I’ve also heard kids play “doctor” at this stage, or they did at my school. So, obviously, we’re confused yet passionate at this stage.
5th Grade: This is where friends of substance come into the mix. Enemies are rare here, as most have cooled down. Also, your friendship pool is almost at maximum here.
6th Grade: Sixth grade sucks. My advice: ignore it and forget about it like me.
7th and 8th Grade: These are ok. No one’s too easily offended. Lots of friends, but not as much as fifth grade…probably.
9th Grade: Tons of friends. You’ll probably hit your maximum here. Then it goes down and down. Relationships last a few seconds, since it’s just rising and falling crushes. No one makes enemies unless these enemies are huge douchebags. >_>
10th Grade: The friends get narrower. The relationships get longer. Loyal friends stay loyal. The others stray. It’s…weird.
I can’t really comment on 11th and 12th grade because I don’t think I’ve gathered enough on them, although if I were to summarize, same as 10th grade, but more effectual effects.
So there ya go.
