The Band Bus

My posting has been sloppy lately, and I appologize. What with WoW and homework, it just hasn't been a top priority. I miss having journalism. That's when I did most of my posting last year. Enough of that, though.

I can't believe how cold it got all of a sudden! It was pleasant fall and then boom! Winterish! There really isn't a better time of the year, though. I even revamped my blog in honor of it! By the way, how do you like it? It feels a little crowded. I'll mess with the HTML and see if I can fix that. HTML is so much easier now, because it has a lot of the same commands as BASIC.

So, anyway, this weekend was quite interesting. I don't think I've ever been in a room with that many black people! Afterall, I go to Putnam, and we don't have many of those. "He flirts with all the other girls, but I don't get angry 'cause he's my boo, so 's all good." Half of the words she used, (and when I say "she", I mean this one chick, Tiffany) I wasn't even aware were used outside of rap songs. I don't even remember the words she used, seeing as they're not in my upper-middle class white chick vocabulary.

So, uh, I talked to black people and I made it up to level 17. I have no idea how any of you lived without that information. I'll try and keep my posts more frequent (of course, that's what I said last time). As of now, I'm counting down the hours until the live Ghost Hunters thing. *Crazy fangirl squeal* EEE!

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!

I haven't even begun to play World of Warcraft! I first had to install the five damn disks, which had to have taken atleast two hours, and just when I thought everything was fine and dandy, I start up the game and have to install a patch! GARR! I'm tempted to say "Screw it, I'm going back to Achaea!"

FINALLY! Ok, now let's see what I have to install now....

After several months of debating, I've finally made a desision. I am now part of the World. Of Warcraft. I don't know what empowered me to purchase it. Something tells me it's a mix of last week's South Park and a hightened sense of boredom.

So, now I have to walk down the long, slow path of n00bdome. I have no idea where to start. I think I'm going to be a human priest, because I get hurt so much that I need good healing powers. I've never played an online game before. Well, ok, I'm lying. I played Age of Empires with this other person once. Once.

Holy shit, this thing takes forever to install. It's 5 disks worth! Five! That's one more than 4! Eeg! Huh, wait...maybe I don't wanna be a priest. After all, it's a priest. Poopoo to that. Perhaps a hunter....but a human can't be a hunter, and I want to be a human. Gar, MMORPG's suck. Too many desisions.

Sorry about the sparatic blog posts lately. I've really gotten lazy. There used to be a time when I'd have a new post every day or so. The proverbial Good Ol' Days. There wasn't even a pirate-themed post on Talk Like a Pirate day! To catch up on the past couple weeks' events, I will try and be brief. Note the "try". I promise nothing. Just remember that instead of being several long posts, it's just one really long post.

• Talk Like a Pirate Day! -- Arr, it be the best hol-er-day there is. Ye couldn't even talk to yer classes without called "Ahoy!" to a fellow sea-dog. As ye can see, me pirate-speak be a wee rough, but that don't matter. It be a hoot nevertheless. (And I ne'r got called "gay" once. Aye, I'll drink to that.)
• Logan...argh, see the previous post. Now he's finally starting to get the hints, thanks to Mr. Sellevaag, so life in 3rd period's improving.
• Speaking of 3rd Period...--You know the saying "You can't judge a book by its cover"? Of course you have. Everyone and their cat has heard it. Although, it's annoyingly corny, I'm beginning to see the relevance of it. I thought my English class was a bunch of school-hating idiots, and for the most part it is. There's a couple people, though, that really surprise me. They're actually smart enough to be in Honors. As long as one has an open mind, anything can be seen in a positive light.
• Putnam's Winning Season--What the hell? Seriously, we're 3-1. That's more wins than losses! What the heck's going on? Are we, dare I say, kind of not that bad? I'm a democrat, a Duck, and a Colts fan, so I can maintain upbeat cynicism pretty darn well. But we've scored so many touchdowns that I'm beginning to memorize the fight song, which is just plain weird. If we get to 4-1, then I'm really going to be lost.
• Last Weekend--Egads, where do I start? Well, spending the night with Aubrey was a blast. Not only did I explain to her the sleeping patterns of squirrels, but I got to meet Kuma! Ooo, she's so cute! The LO Saturday Market was everything an LO Saturday Market should be. Fancy, and delicious food. The pigs on a stick was a surprise, though. I had no idea how much I missed Oaks Park. The new Lewis and Clark Adventure (Through the Haunted Mine) is hilariously bad, and oh so very, very wrong. The shooting gallery was barrels of fun, as was ski ball. I can't believe we spent $15 for two 50 cent bead necklaces.
• Last Weekend Pt. 2 -- I can officially say I've been to Nike Town. I can now truly call myself a Portlander. Andrea's birthday was like every other one of her birthdays: awesome. I was really touched when you included me in your family dinner. It really meant a lot. And the Melting Pot was AMAZING! Totally going back there for my birthday.
