In case ur wondering if i actually changed anything, the answer is yes... I currently have a passing obsession with Josh VKG, honestly, because he can longjump farther than Philip Wang ^^. I guess I'm not totally over it yet, but wateva. And I haven't talked to Sampson for so long... I guess he was rite about some stuff.

I also have a passing obsession w/ Mr. Ben. I go to his room, (which happens to be Mr. MC's old room,) and like ask him random questions all the time.

Oh yea, and Dan too... he's like 3 pts away from killing Bernard. He's so coool!!

track!!

I had my first track meet of the year on Monday, and STANK!!!


I got 12' 3" long jump, 15.2 100m, and 19.8 hurtles.

But I haven't been to practice in a long time, so I guess I'll forgive myself this time...


I also eat like 5 meals a day, so I've gained like 20 million pounds.

music again...

I just bought 3DG's album One-X, and now I'm totally into it1!! This is so bad...

Whee!!!!

It's time for New years!!!

I don't get it though...

If I were to make a resolution, it would be close to the beginning of the school year, not Dec 31-Jan 1....

Anyways, usually I wouldn't say what it was, but...

I want to change myself back to who I was originally. I'm going to be a super ambitious no-self-confidence freak!!! Yes, that is an oxymoron. Tee hee =D I won't lose this year... Not to anybody.

Guess what?...

I can't believe I'm still the same as before. Sampson just ditched me, and now I have to climb up the from the same hole again. But, one day I will close my eyes, and realize I'm already at the top, I just don't know it.

But, I went snowboarding for the first time this weekend =D

I totally sucked =(

I actually jumped on one of those totally kewl ramp thingies with my skis =D

But my parents yelled at me afterwards =(

I played a solo in I Heard It Through the Grapevine on Tenor Sax =)

I won the Talent Show =)

I played the piccolo and accompanied chorus on the piano. =D

I hit my head hard twice, and may have lost what little intelligence I own. =(

Life sucks without Sampson =( =( =( =( =( =(

=D I am gonna write a longer freewrite than Harrison Yu!!! Except, I'm not sure it will be BETTER, just LONGER... lolz...

So all and all, my life has been normal...

OMG JAKE's Bar mitzvah...

Wow! Besides the 2 hour long service, Jake's Bar Mitzvah was reeeaaally fun! We went to Bernard's inn, and got fed teerrribbblllee food.

The pasta was weird tasting, the salad tasted slightly like fish, the sauce on the chicken did NOT taste right, but who goes to a bar mitzvah for food??

Jake, Noah, Harrison, Michael, Owen, Phillip, Mitchell, Eddie, and I hit each other with rolled-up t-shirts, threw various candies into other ppls food and drink, drank shirley temples until we were ready to throw up, and stole m&ms from each other.

On the bus, I spent a lot of my time choking Harrison from behind, because he was being flat-out funny/annoying. He made the same noise over and over, and occasionally, he would crank an imaginary handle, singing the jack-in-the-box song, and saying inputting new vocabulary, inputting new vocabulary, and would end up making a different noise... over and over again. Then, Michael, Noah, and I ended up giving Jake a synopsis of the argument we had with JohnCarl, and Luke on Friday about presidential+political junk.

Something about how we would be hunting the rabbit-man-bear if Al Gore was president, and he would really be terrible in office. Michael was saying how the Gore-Bush election was rigged, and Gore should have won. Then we talked about Obama and McCain.

I also had to protect Phillip from Owen, who is scary, especially with that stupid cast of his. Sheesh.

During the party, almost everyone ganged up against Tenzin, including Jake's sister, Camille. Uh... There was a lot of candy... Arg... Sooooo muuuccchh candy! Everyone had a little packet-thingy that had custom m&ms in it.

Bahr Mitzvah,
10-18-08,
something like that.

There was some magician who was amazing... I never understand these tricks...

Then we got the rolled up t-shirts, and waged war on Phillip. M&ms went into water and shirley temples, and food, pictures were taken... Tons of them... I have bunny-ears on Jake in most of them. Then we popped balloons, and inhaled a lot of helium, which made us sound like chipmunks.

All good things come to an end,
but I went to Jake's house afterwards and made cracks about McPain(McCain-Palin) and played Spore for 2 hours. Then Jake and I joined the congregation of his family, and talked about random junk.
