   Say what?
School today was the norm, besides starting a movie in French. We're watching Cyrano De Bergerac. The main character, Cyrano, is a low-level nobleman with a hot temper and a very large nose. The movie starts out with Cyrano threatening an actor. He had told the actor to quit the stage for several months, or else provoke him.

The actor was indeed onstage, and so Cyrano trumped down a fight of steps to confront the actor on the stage. He scares off the actor, and another, higher born noble tries to insult him for interrupting the play.

"Your nose, sir, is big." he says. "Very big."

He apparently hopes to shame Cyrano. Cyrano instead comes back and lists almost every possible insult imaginable that incorporates a large nose, totally making a fool of the nobleman. Good stuff, heh.

I got a detention today. -_-;; I had gone up to my History teacher's desk to get back a test. He squinted at me and asked, "Did you shave today?"

Honesty is the best policy, I figured. "No."

He pulled out his detention slips, filled one out, and sent me to the Vice Principal's office. Apparently I wasn't clean-shaven. :p

So, I was given a disposable razor and a small canister of shaving cream and sent off to shave in the bathroom. I got out of a good portion of my history class, including a quiz. ~_^ Not so bad after all.

And, I put in my order for my class ring. I'm getting a silver one with a red stone set in it with my initials and graduation year. Being the money-conscious person that I am, I chose the ring for its price. I think it was $75.95 or something. My parents said they would pay the $70 down payment for whatever ring I got, so this worked out fairly well for me. ~_^

Ben's Yu-Gi-Oh Update!

I faced John today. Matt is #1, so we were facing off for second place and the chance to duel Matt. He didn't stand a chance. :p He never does anymore, not against any of my Beatdown Decks.

So, I'm #2 and I have a chance to face Matt tomorrow for my #1 spot. It will be mine once again!

After school, there was no Godspell work to be done, so my sister got us a ride home with one of her friends. We were driven to Sacred Heart, where I checked out the book fair in the library and wandered aimlessly.

Now, here's why I wrote that title and chose that emoticon.

When school got out, Victoria informed me that she and Christina had something to show me. The two of them took something from Christina's locker, handed it to me and ran away, giggling.

It was a sheet of paper, with a large heart on it and the words: "RAINE + BEN Forever and ever" beneath the heart.

Raine is another eighth grade girl at Sacred Heart in Victoria and Christina's class. She just started going to Sacred Heart this year, and I think I might have talked to her maybe once or twice, indirectly. I'm only at Sacred Heart in the last few minutes of the school day and then after school. She's rarely after school and I don't go in the eighth grade hallway. Where she'd even see much of me is a mystery.

So, needless to say I was a bit surprised. Nothing like this has ever happened to me; nobody has ever told me that they liked me or had a crush on me. I don't really know how to react. :p

Then again, I don't really have any evidence that this is true at all. This could be some sort of hoax concocted by Victoria and/or Christina. I can't be sure that it is, or that it isn't. So, I'm just going to deal with things as they come. I believe in myself.

*maintains straight face for about three seconds*

_^_ Oy....I've no idea what to do, or if anything should be done.

*shakes head and moves on*

Mimmi's Questions! Yay!

1) Why is it that everytime you go away, I miss 2 posts ? ;_;

I'm not sure I understand the question. =/ When I go away, I don't post for two or more days, as I'm away during that time.

Or maybe it's because when I come back, you've grown used to me not being here and so you don't realize when I've posted. It's hard to know when I've updated, since I usually do it late at night.

2) Is there anything you would never ever steal from someone (like... a bra, or dental floss) ?

Scruples are for amateurs. :p

3) With what song would you serenade a girl ?

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You never know dear, how much I love you, so don't you take my sunshine away."

_^_ Well, maybe. I can't picture myself singing to a girl.

Another song I've always liked for this sort of thing is "Back at One," by Mark Wills.


Link to the lyrics.

4) Could you steal Boba's dog for me ? (I wants it ! Hrm *cough*)

I can certainly try. Just as soon as I get invited to his new house. =/

5) If you could rent a cinema for one night, what/which movie(s) would you screen and who'd be invited ?

I'd play the Lord of the Rings movies, the Matrix movies, something with Tommy Lee Jones, and probably a bunch of good movies that I haven't yet seen, like The Last Samurai, Kill Bill, Volumes 1 and 2, and then some good comedies.

I'd invite all of my friends of course, no matter where they might be or if we'd met before in person. That means all of you! *points*

And maybe a movie critic, so we can poke at things in the movies together. :p

More questions! I'm having so much fun with these. ^__________^

I'd better post this before it turns to midnight and it counts as tomorrow's post....

EDIT: Too late, I see. :p
