Welcome to Gaia! ::

crying crying crying Noooo! James Doohan!! He died yesterday... He was a master of dialects, and a very talented actor... Star Trek fans everywhere will always remember him, because Star Trek just wouldn't have been the same without "Scotty." cry

Wow, you have had an uber crappy week. You sound like you need ice cream... or cookie dough (that works well too).

Yeah, I know the feeling. I just found out today that I'll be stuck in an 8am class with a member of my fan club (yes, I have what I call my very own fan club, it's a group of 6 guys that all like me and even when you tell them you aren't interested and you don't want a relationship or anything with anyone for like, the next year or more, they don't stop following you. Like the fan boys at an anime convention... They never give you a moment's peace). eek not only will tuesday and thursday mornings be shared with him, but i'll also be in a class with the head of the Republican student group at my school. From what I hear she's very opinionated and I know she hates one of my friends immensely (I'm friends with the people who petition crap. the student government hates them, and since I hang out with them, they hate me too.) Ah well, it ought to keep class pretty interesting. thank god I have ballet to look forward to!

Green belt?! Go you! That's pimp. I never got to take a Karate class of any sort. I always wanted to though. I'm 5 foot and a half inch tall, it'd be kind of a good idea for me to learn some ways to defend myself.

So you and Malfoy have known each other for that long? Wow. eek That's pretty cool. Most of my friendships date back to freshman year of high school. We moved from Massachusetts to Texas, so over the years I lost contact with my childhood buddies.

Yep, I can certainly understand that. Boyd is a stoplight and that's about it. We have a Family Dollar store, a Dollar General, a gas station and an IGA (grocery store). I went to school in a different town that's considerably bigger (our house was right on the line. Yay!), but was still a small hick town. *shudders* I was elated to move, even though I'm only 45 minutes away. The city is quite a different place from that hick town. eek For the most part, the people are actually nicer. Plus, my little city is right between two big cities and has lots of murders and robberies. Makes it much more interesting than hearing tale of people tipping cows or getting busted for making meth in their house.

Example:
Springtown: Someone hit a cow and left it dead on the side of the road (did you know you can go to jail for hitting a cow?). someone came along and put a big sign over the dead cow that said "EAT MORE CHICKEN!" (That is news where I'm from)
City I Live in Now: Pistol Mikes (the gun shop less than a mile down the street from my house, it is litterally on my street), was robbed earlier this summer. About three weeks ago, guns were stolen from two places in Dallas. (Either someone's planning something interesting or they're making a pretty penny).

And I have no idea why I'm rambling. Maybe I do need a nap...

So you're a senior? That bites. Soon enough you'll be stuck in the real world. *shudders* it's a scary place. I'm still a junior, and will be for a while. I've got two years left (this one and next). So how many hours do you have left?

Okay!! ...I just wanted to apologize for my long absence. I've been busy writing essay after essay. In addition to that, though, Tanaka-san got a worm, and the infection was so bad that he had to have his hard drive completely wiped, so he was out of commission for a while. He's better now, though. 3nodding Since we seem to be having a lull in the flow of essay assignments, maybe I'll be able to check in regularly for a while.
