Series four aired in the U.S. on the Sci-Fi Channel, in April 2008. It will air on CBC Canada starting September 19, 2008.

This makes me happy. And yet sad... Doctor Who is becoming more and more like Coronation Street.... sooo far behind.

Speaking of Cory Street... OMG! Did you see that? !!!!!

But wait, there's more!

Creative Writing, due to the primarily solitary nature of wiritng, is the perfect class to take without taking. What I mean is this: I can take it without actually being there. I'll still do the work, get the mark, and get the credit. I will have taken the class. But I'll never be in the classroom. I have nine classes and a spare, and during that spare I will write, and confrence with the Creative Writing Teacher (who also has a spare, or something anyway) and the one other student with an identical class schedule. So it will actually be kind of cool. However, the spare and the class are in different semesters. So I'll write everything first (but through the rest of the year too) and then, a semester later, I'll do the Creative Writing 30 launch at the library, or the coffe place, or wherever.

So it's not too fucked up, and I have someone else they screwed over to keep me company. All things considered, this is actually a pretty good outcome.

Damn you Teru...

P.S. In art-related news, I recently discovered that I can, in fact, draw lizard-furries. I think the technical term is a 'scalie' but I don't care. It's the in eye, you see. The snout/nose loops into the eyebrow, not the side of the head. I suppose the same principal applies to anything with a snout. Even people, actually. Look at yourself 3/4 view in the mirror. Your nose loops into your eyebrow. Sweet, huh?

Me: Hi
Mother: Hi.
Me: Why am I still here?
Mother: Because no one loves you.
Me: Oh. Can someone come and pick me up?
Mother: Well your father was supposed to pick you up after he went grocery shopping, but apparently he forgot.
Me: Oh. So why don't you pick me up?
Mother: Because I had a beer or two a while ago.
Me: Oh. So should I walk home then?
Mother: Probably.
Me: Okay. Love you.
Mother: Love you too. Bye.
Me: Bye.
Me (to my co-workers): My mother forgot me and my father's been drinking!

And then we laughed. My father showed up like, two minutes later. And it was a good thing my mother didn't get me, because even though she only had a beer or two the previous hour or so, drinking and driving (of ANY amount) is a bad thing. Bad. So don't do it. Or Kira the Saviour will get you!

Twas a good birthday today. I got a sushi set whose plates spell "sushi," an orange-flavoured milk, a lollipop, and like, a dozen hugs. And a billion posts on my facebook wall. I feel loved.

So I'm watching the Golden Compass, and it's pissing me off. I read the book first, and loved it to pieces. The movie pisses me off. A lot. I know that movies are never as good as books, but the movie reveals too much too quickly. Makes me angry. But alas...

Apparently we're shutting off the satelite soon because everyone hates me. And the best part? The series finale of Full Metal Alchemist is on about a month after we shut it off. Therefore, I recently discovered an amazing fact.

You get find TV shows on the internet! I have now watched all of the episodes of FMA on the webz.

I got stuff for Christmas, obviously. The fancieist and perhaps most useful of my presents came in the form of... wait for it... wait for it...

A Tablet!

A Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet to be precise. Perhaps it's not Van Gogh art quality, but I honestly think that it's the best thing ever. It even has buttons. It also came with Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Corel Painter Essentials 3. Obviously from the "Elements" and "Essentials" tags they are not the full versions, but I don't care. It's perfect for me. I've even started colouring things. I love not having to use the pen tool anymore, although it can look nice on occasion.

Don't worry, I still love the GIMP, it's just that it gets all frozen when I use the tablet. Not computer-crashing frozen, just it-will-only-work-with-a-mouse frozen. No biggie.

I'll be uploading a WIP right about now, just so ya'll can see my awesome l33t skills!

Merry Christmas everyone!

P.S. Jen, why would I ever decline an offer to see the Yule Log? It's so big and wooden and hot... Because, you know, it's burning in the fireplace.

Myself and some buds have started a GSA at school, and/or are still in the process of doing so. The problem is that there are so many people who consider homosexuality against their religious beliefs, which is really a codeword for "these people are different, ergo, they are to be hated." It's an extremely fine line between respecting religious beliefs and condoning hatred and racism. I honestly don't see what the big deal is. So you don't believe in gay marriage, for example. Big deal. Don't get one! Leave everyone else alone.

All we're trying to do is create a safe environment. Trying to foster peace and understanding. I really don't mean to bash Catholics/Christians, because that's not what I'm trying to do, but isn't peace and love essentially the Christian message in a nutshell? It's honestly driving me crazy, because it seems like there's no solution...

I don't have anything against Catholics. Half of my friends are Catholic. I do, however, have something against bigots, and it seems that most of the bigots in Somewheresville are Catholic, but very few Catholics are actually bigots. It's like... most red cars have four wheels, but very few four-wheeled cars are red. Do you get it?

I'm not going to let this turn into a war. It's the last thing we need. I can get theological if I have to, but I really hope I don't. I'll win, obviously, but I'll just piss people off. I don't want to do that.

I think we'll start small with our Activism Campaign. Put some posters up that say "That's so gay," but have gay crossed out. Below it will appear: "Gay is not:" and then it will list a whole bunch of words that gay is not.* You can't argue against that without looking like a hater; you can't hide behind the veil of religion.

I have no problem with religion. It can be a wonderful, healing, uplifting thing for society. But it's an intolerable evil when it is used to oppress people.

I was really angry yesterday at the thought that people and be so ignorant and afraid. But eventually, that anger dissolved into pity. I honestly feel sorry for those who are homophobic.

The thing I'm looking for is dialog, and it's just not going to happen. Instead, it's "The GSA informs the students, the students inform the parents, and the parents yell at the principal, after which the principal comes and talks to the GSA." It shouldn't be a chain; it should be a cohesive circle of idea sharing and understanding.

Until I get my magic powers, it looks like it's not going to happen.

I'm looking at the list of things I made, and while at the time they were funny, they're just stupid now. But nontheless, I must tell you this awesome story. This guy buys some calendars, and he gives me fifteen dollars. I type in 15 cents in the till, but I whip out the calulator and easily fix my mistake. Later I inform Jen of this.

Me: So yeah, I put in 15 cents by mistake. But I fixed it. It was good.
Jen: That's good. Don't forget the zeros. Forgetting the zeros is easily fixable. Putting too many zeros is another story.
Me: Haha yeah. "And $93.27 is your change sir, have a nice day."

~Five minutes later~

Me: Okay sir, that comes to $6.73.
Sir: *gives me a hundred dollar bill*
Me: Ooo! *Looks at it sitting on the counter for a second, then takes it, looks at it, makes sure it goes all shiney and that it's brownish gold like all good Canadian hundred dollar bills are. Then, for some reason, smells it.*
Sir: *looks at me like I'm from Mars*
Me: *types some stuff in the register* And And $93.27 is your change sir, have a nice day.

This is the point where Jen is walking by the counter, and she whips around, sees all the money in my hand, and almost screams. Her face looks like I set the store on fire or something.

The End!

It was only after, of course, that I learned I'm not supposed to take hundreds if they're buying under 50 bucks worth of stuff. Oh well. Now I know.

Jen and I laughed about that incident for another hour before we closed up shop. It was great.

Also, I'm never supposed to say "Have a rainbow day."

I also attempted a gay make-out scene, which was difficult for a number of reasons.

1) Sadly, and this is a shock, I know, I have no personal experience in that area
2) I've never read a Harlequin romance novel
3) I still can't figure out how the hell a faun and a centaur do anything... I mean... is it even physically possible?

So, yes, as Jen so eloquently put it, my novel is smut. There. I'm okay with that. Just as long as it's not porn. Obviously, I suggested that they had sex afterwards, but never explicitly stated it.

But now I'm out of ideas. It's too early to set something else on fire though.... Oh well. Hey, you can track my progress with these handy widgets I will be placing in my footer. It's cool like that.

Also, I have the plot for my NaNoWriMo book. Most of it anyway. I'll start uploading character profiles in the form of pictures when they are complete.

I have this horrible fear of failure, which goes really well with my superiority and god complexes. So that means that I draw really lightly, which is bad for scanning. The picture I have done though is really good. I just need to darken it.

Oh, and the twincest? I'm merely hinting at it now. It was taking up too much of the plot in my head, and I didn't want my book to be about the main character being gay, I simply wanted it as a fact. There is little to nothing out there like that. The only books I can think of with gay protagonists are Geography Club and Boy Meets Boy, which, while really good, are too focused. I like Captain Jack in Doctor Who though. They don't make his pansexuality an issue, it's simply a fact. (Pansexuality is like bisexual, only recognizing that the gender binary is incorrect. In Jack's case, in also includes alien species. :))

I've been watching TV and reading books, and realizing there's a lot of random, ordinary people discovering they have magical powers. It's not like the old days of superheroes, with radioactive spider, super suits and Heroic Names. It's regular people, in regular clothing, with regular names. Heroes comes to mind instantly. Say my first episode the other day - it's towards the end of season one, apparently.

Anywho, I was wondering. I know few people are watching me and most of them I know personally, but if one day you discovered you had infinite magic powers - the ability to do anything: reshape matter, manipulate time, toy with people's minds, violate and rape the laws of physics, essentially get to play god - what would you do first? Obviously you'd probably do a bit of experimentation first - turning the cat green, summoning spoons to you, etc. But once you figured out you have magic powers, what would you do? And please, everyone who reads this, answer the question please and/or thank you.

What would I do, you ask? First I'd make myself really hot. Like, six-foot four, six-foot-seven, straight blond scraggly hair, green eyes, stubble trimmed right along the jaw line, ripped muscles, etc., etc., use your imagination. After that, who knows? Flying is on top of my list for sure.

What about you?

I was watching TV the other day, and I saw one of those "back to school" commercials. And I almost flipped. Summer is half over and I haven't done a single fucking thing.

Most of my summer has consisted of sitting in front of the computer and surfing the webs, looking at pics on DA. I haven't even looked at Wikipedia, which is something I do often. I've also been playing Warcraft III a lot lately. There's only one problem: I suck ass. I cannot win a game unless a) I cheat or b) I set it on easy and set it so the enemy has 50% of the regular health. And yet I've been trying to get better, but to no avail.

I realize the stupidity of this. I'm trying to get better at something I suck at, and don't even really like all that much. I havn't drawn a thing, I haven't written a thing. I have exercised once. What ever happened to: "I'll draw a picture once a week," or, "I'll go on the treadmill 20min a day!" or, "I'll start writing my novel where the pope marries his brother!" Gone! Forgotten! Whenever I get bored of wasting my life, I just sit there, saying, well, should I do it? I don't want to... but I should. But I don't want to... And then I go and eat peanut butter out of the fucking jar. Who eats peanut butter like that?

I want to be able to draw like someone on my watch list, even the kid from Wales. I want to write a book that will get banned by the Catholic Church. I want to look like that guy from the spray-on sunscreen commercial. Is that too much to ask? No! Is it that hard to do? No! And yet, what do I do? Absolutely nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I sit here, getting fat and blind, and waste my summer away. Oh, sure, every day I say, "Oh, I'll do it tomorrow." Well the problem with tomorrow is that it's never today. It's always some far off time, a time where everything is perfect and everything gets done. Fuck. Fuck! Why can't I... oh, I don't know, get off my ass once in a while? But no! I deserve magic powers. I constantly say that to myself. But it's not even true! I don't. The kind of person who deserves magic powers has trouble in their life, someone who will work hard and never give up. That's totally me, you know, if you switch me with someone else. If only there was some kind of fucking easy button.

Now that I have gotten myself angry, what am I going to do? Will I draw? Will I write? Will I work out? Will I improve myself as a human being?

I sincerely doubt that.

P.S. On a side note, I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Very good. Almost cried.

"Boy Meets Boy" is a fantastic book. Not only because it is awesome, but because it takes place in a magical fantasy world where no one really cares that you're gay. Magical fantasy world. But really good book. I started reading it at around ten pm, when I was supposed to go to bed with a Final Exam the next morning. (Very easy final... but that's not the point!) The point is, I started reading at 10pm, and didn't stop until I was finished the book at 1:00am. AM. I read the whole book in one sitting. The first three pages are very difficult, because it portrays a world that, sadly, doesn't exist. If only it did. Anywho, after page five or so, you get used to it. I got all teary-eyed reading it. Really Good. Highly Recommended.

I have no idea how I lost ten pounds. One day, I was "X" pounds, maybe "X+5" pounds. Then, I saw the scale the other day, and thought, hey, what the heck. And I was like, "Woah! X-10 pounds?!? It must be broken." So I got a never-used ten pound weight from downstairs, and put it on the scale. Sure enough, it said 10 pounds. I don't know hoe it happened. I don't exercise, and I don't eat great. Mind you, I lost some weight while in Mexico, and I haven't been eating as much lately. And last week I did go on the treadmill three times... mind you I never ever went on the treadmill before that. Either way, I'm ecstatic! I'll be dead sexy in no time. Well, not that I'm not already dead sexy. I'll just be, you know, more so.

On another note, final exams start tommorrow and I'm playing Pokemon. Totally creamed the first two of the elite four, struggled with the theird, and was killed by the forth. There is no way I can beat the Champion right now. Oh well, just have to keep training.

It's official. I have no life.

I just got the new Pokemon Diamond yesterday. I have no life. I've played it all day today, just got the second badge. I have no life. Before I thought the Pokemon were kind of ugly, but they look kindof cool now (some of them.) Did I mention I have no life?

You must check out this picture here. [link]=prinplup+metal+claw&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5 I found this earlier, before I bought the game, and when my Piplup evolved, I just had to laugh out loud. It's classic.

I want to write more here, but I also want to play Pokemon. I'll tell you about Charlie's party tomorrow.

Today is IDAHO, the International Day Against Homophobia. It also happens to be World Catholic Day, but that's an not the point. (Although it is ironic...) Anywho, we had a big shindig at the school today.

In case you didn't know, homophobia is the irrational fear of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, persons, i.e. anyone who isn't straight or fits into the gender binary.

If you go to my school, you will know that it is VERY homophobic. So the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) at school, of which I am a part of, put up posters all over the school. Everywhere. It was awesome and colorful. We also got a petition going around, saying that students wanted a homophobia free zone. We got roughly 140 signatures out of 360some people in our school. And guess what? Surprise surprise, very few guys signed. Did I mention I'm the only guy on the GSA? No? Well I am.

The posters experienced what Scykr described as "baby turtle syndrome." She put it very poetically. "The posters are like baby turtles. They will break free from the sand and scurry along to the shore, only to be snatched by seagulls and dropped on rocks, their baby turtle brains flying everywhere." People tore the posters down. I found at least 10 on the floor, and several in the garbage. I just put them right back up. And apparently other people did too, because they stayed up the whole day. But we took them down early so the homophobes wouldn't rip them down after school. But we missed one! It says "Got Pride?" and is posted on the Industrial Arts Room door. (That's the safe haven of the idiot hicks and jocks, all of whome are very homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, racist, etc. etc.) It's funny, and I laugh. Ha!

What today did, it got people talking. And that's a good thing.

I need to do something. And so I'm going to draw a picture. I figure the only way to get better at drawing is to draw A LOT. So I'm going to get something up here at least once a week. Most of it will probably be pencil, but if I feel like it, I may colour something. Maybe. I also need to make some gift for people... I feel guilty.

So I had a birthday party last week, and it was some good fun. Had some people over, made some sushi that no one ate. We watched "Silence of the Lambs," and played Rayman: Raving Rabbits and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves. Then I opened presents. I didn't ask for presents, but I said it was a birthday party, so I guess people brought presents. Scykr gives me a DA Subscription, which is like "Wow!" and also a cool comic book. I totally don't deserve a DA subscription. Like I said in my last journal, only cool people get DA subscriptions And then jennygonowhere gives me a handmande scarf, a handmade journal, and her old glasses, so I could perfect my "creative emo ranger" look. I so don't deserve all that stuff. I'm keeping it because I'm a greedy little bastard, but I so don't deserve it. I need to give you two something. I just don't know what yet...

A don't give me any crap about it being my birthday. Because it wasn't. My birthday was actually the day after the party. So ha! It doesn't count!

OMGWTFBBQ!!! is soooo cool! She bought me a subscription for my birthday! Wow! Hearts for her! (She is currently sitting three feet away from me forcing me to write this. She is evil. Someone please help me before she burns my furry collection.) Anywho, it was a secret Future Presnt. She gave me this one present at the party, a comic book. "Stykman," it was called. It was her second present for me, for I had already recieved my first one, but I didn't know it yet. It was waiting for me in the future! It was a subscription to DA! Like, OMGWTFBBQ! Only the cool popular people and decent furry porn artists get subscriptions! Maybe that means... Oh dear god! I'm a furry porn artist! Ahhh! (And yet I'm thrilled...)

Anywhoo, It's 1:15 am, and I should go to bed. But I don't want to. My mind is blank.

Scykr, your anthro kindof but not really furry porn is now on the top of my to do list. Right before getting a life.

P.S. At Scykr's request, I must now complain about how I don't have a Wacom tablet or Prismacolour pencils. Why don't I have a Wacom tablet or Prismacolour pencils? All the good artists have a tablet or Prismacolours. Why don't I?

Also, I finally got a Wii. It's so cool. I still have to look at the Wiimote for the 1 and 2 buttons, but other than that I've got the hang of it. As soon as I connect it to the Internet, I'll send strange messages to Scykr. Now I can send it to her TV, rather than her DA stuff. I got Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I already beat the GameCube version, but the Wii is sooo much cooler. I also have Wii Play. It's cool. You get to race cows. Indeed. Coolness.

On a third and final note, I dyed my hair purple. Bright purple. My figners are now also slightly purple, and so now they look like they are from a corpse. Coolness.

Twilight Princess Update: 7 hours and XX minutes into the game, just beat the Goron Mines.

PS: My hair is bright Fricking purple. Like Boom! Purple!

The movie however? Sucked ass. Sucked ass bigtime. I am not one who likes movies based on books. The first Harry Potter movie was good. It was spellbinding and enchanting, not because it was full of special effects. It had few special effects. Why? I don't know. But it worked, it was effective. It made the characters seem real. The worst book-to-movie adaptation has to be The Never Ending Story. This is, inconsequently, the best book in existance, without a doubt. The movie was even worse than the Eragon movie is. It literally threw out half the book. The second half, actually. The movie actually ended halfway through the book. Just boom! Off to Fantastica... and then he's on a luckdragon chasing bullies. Forgot the second half of the book, and many things the book said. Like, for instance, nothing Fantastican can come into the human world. Oops, I guess the movie people didn't read the book. But wait, if they missed the second half, that must be the half in the movie. Not so. From what I remember from the second movie, they mixed everything up. Hardly followed the story at all. The whole Auran/memory/wish thing was all screwed up, and the movie did not follow the book. The third movie (yes, they did third one *shudder*) is more like fanfiction. Only the basic premise of another world inside a book exists. It's stupid. But I'm complaining about Eragon here, noe the movie adaptation of The Neverending Story.

How dost this movie suck? Let me list the ways!

1. Eragon has a squigly burn instead of a silver dot. Dragon Riders are called Argetlam, aka "silver hand" in the ancient language. They're not called "burned hand", or "squigle hand". But that's just minor.

2. Teleportation now exists. Look at a map of Alagaesia, for example ([link]). They travel from Carvahall (upper right corner) at the begining, and then travel for five days south to Daret. Then, according to Obi-Wan, er.. Brom, it's from there straigth into the Beor Mountains... all the way at the other corner of the map. They skip so much. True, there's a lot in the book and only 2 hours for a movie, but a book that long, you make it into a mini-series, not a movie.

3. The girlfriend is gone. I forget who she is, or who's girlfriend she is, but she's not there. Gone! Poof! And she was important to the plot, too.

4. The twins are gone too. Yes, the twins. There's no second movie without the twins. Those of who who have read the books will know why.

5. Brom dies in the wrong place. Come on, it's classic Obi-Wan here. You could see it coming. At least Saphira diamonded the tomb. Not as pretty as I imagined though...

6. Saphira. Yes, she was adorable as a young dragon. But it took her months to grow up in the book. She wasn't hit by thunder and grew up in a second. How hard is it to kill a few months? All you need is a nice montage of Saphira at different stages of maturity, and some season-passing. But no, they had to hit her with lightning. She also names herself, which doesn't happen

Now for some small details.

Brom is supposed to pass his brisengr off as a swear at the fire, not just wisper it and make it stupidly obvious.


This movie just generally pisses me off. It's an okay movie, but as a book-to-movie adaptation, it sucks ass. Bigtime. you can see it if you want to, but the characters are empty and the whole thing is very squished and contrived. You don't even learn the name of Eragon's hometown until the very end of the book. OMGWTFBBQ? I do not recomend this movie. And there will probably be more movies too. Trilogy of book, remember? Yeah. Exactly.

<>

The books however, are great. Read them, they're really quite good. A little bit formula and typical (elves and dwarves are middle earth carbon copies.)

If I ever make a movie or book with dwarves, they are not going to be scottish. They will have a polish accent, and be very flamboyant. Like, gay flamboyant. Why? Because gay people are utterly awesome! Hooray!

OMGWTFBBQ

I have fallen in love with mexico. With the people, the mountians, the plants, everything. I love it.

And yet at the same time, I hate. It's kind of mixed up there. While becoming in industrial country, they skipped a few steps. For example: the tap water there is unsafe to drink. It's not "potable," as they say. So instead of fixing up the water, the government gets everyone to drink Coca-Cola. Seriously. The president at the time had investments in Coke, so he brought in lots of Coke. It comes in bigger bottles, like 3 litres and 3.3 litres, and has twice as much sugar and caffiene as it does in Canada. And did you know that the genetics of indiginous North american and South American people is highly susceptible to diabetes? Hm. Sugar+Diabetes=Bad. Obviously.

It's so hard to put an expiriance into words. That coke stuff? Yeah, we learnt that in a classroom-like setting, so I can just spit it out at you. But most of the trip was expiriance, not a classroom. It's hard to talk about, not because I don't want to, but because I lack the words. It's very aggrivating.

We were ten mintues late leaving the house this morning, but that was no big deal. When we got to the friend's house, I run to the door and slipped on the driveway. But that was okay too.

So we leave, and we're off to the ski place. We start watching Rent on a portable DVD player (awesome movie/broadway musical). Everything is going fine. Until we get to a town about 30 minutes away from the ski place. We accidentaly start going on the wrong highway, and thiry minutes later, we're like, okay, this is not right. We try about three different ways to get back to the town, and finally we do.

We get back to the town, have a pee, get some sandwiches, and we're off. When we are literally almost in sight of the ski place, we see a little blue sign with a skier on it, and we think we are supposed to go down that road. Five seconds down that road we realise that we are wrong, but can't turn around because the road is too narrow. We get to an intersection (still in sight of the highway) and turn around, but we get stuck. We try pushing it out, but to no avail (I like that word, avail). I get the bright idea to use a shovel, which just so happens to be in the back of the truck-vehicle thing. I get about an inch of snow away from the front of the stuck tire, and presto! It works! And that's how we got to the skiing place.

Then, when we got to the skiing place, we get our boots and skis and whatnot, go up the chair lift, and start skiin down the hill. Then we go up again. When going down, my sister wipes out big time. And then again. On the same run. Twice. Then we go up and down and up and down and while going up the next time, the people in front of us are making out. Like hardcore adorable. Aww.... Anywho, we go down and up and down, and while going up again, an older version of that cute adorable couple are almost making out. Again, cute. Next time we go up, the ski people are telling everyone to get on the lift in groups of four, so the previous couple are stuck on opposite sides of two random people, and they're like "Aww.. now we don't get to make out. Bummer." We go down and up a few more times, and I wipe out. Hard core. I went into some kind of bumpy stuff, and I can't slow down. I get to this cliff, it's only about a foot or so high, but that's big when on skis. So I start falling face first, and somehow I fall in such a way that my head actually points uphill, rather than downhill like physics tells you it should. After about thirty seconds of pain, I get up, find my skiis, and continue down the hill. I cannot find the others for about ten minutes or so, but then we're back on track. A few more runs later, we're told to go up in fours again, so this little kid joins us, and he's about ten. So the friend starts talking about a nosebleed she had earlier in the day, and after a while I turn to this kid I know nothing about and say, "Isn't it wierd hearing people you don't know talk about their nosebleeds?" "Yeah," he says. Friend and sister say some other things, and then I go to the kid and say, "Hi, I'm Ben." The kid doesn't even look at me, doesn't say a thing, just keeps looking forward. Friend says, "Yeah, I'm Katie and this is Emily." Still doesn't say a thing. Awkward silence the rest of the way up. So we go up and down a few more times, and this idoit from school in the chair in front of us makes some obscure joke about his penis. Akward. So finally the day is done and we go home.

Fifteen minutes from home, the truck-vehicle thing starts sliding on the highway. I have no idea what's happening. We do about three 360s and land in the ditch. After a few seconds, we make sure we are all okay, which, thank God we were, and we get out and call Friend's dad on the cell phone. The reception is bad, so he only half hears it. After about fifteen minutes, we call again, and find out that he though we said we were coming home shortly, but then a few minutes later said to himself, "Wait, maybe I'm supposed to go get them." And finally he did. Eventually.

Don't worry, we're all home safe and sound. Everything is absolutly fine. My neck kind of hurts from the wipeout on the hill, but it should be okay by tomorrow sometime. All I can say about the evening was best.... ski trip.... EVER!

I want to quit debate. Did you know I was on the debate team? Because I am. Except I'm thinking of quitting. My debate partner does nothing but yell at me and tell me I'm crap, even when she isn't that great either. But apparently talking too much about what you know is better than saying the wrong things, but whatever. That and the fact that she is now on holiday, and it's very hard to make half a debate with only yourself. Great holiday timing. People make me very sad. Especially scykr, who has yet to hold a Wii party.

I'm so depressed now.
