Eh..........BOO!
"Where should I begin?"

"At the beginning, you moron."

"Oh, right. That makes sense."

*sigh*

I got up at 5-something this morning in order to be sure that I was ready to go early. I put my contacts in, got changed, and had breakfast with plenty of time to spare. I climbed onto the couch for a nap while I waited for my sister to wake up.

She woke up, and 40 minutes after I had lain down to snooze, she was ready to go. We left maybe five minutes earlier than we normally would. =/

I managed to stay awake today through all of my classes. Not so much as a lazy eyelid. ^_^

Algebra II was first, and awesome. :D We watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Or at least as much as we could in the period. I'm a bit lost as to what we're doing in class, though. =P

I've got a couple questions to do, and a test coming up.

English wasn't bad. We got the rest of our vocabulary work done, but we still need the correct answers from Mrs. Fitzgerald.

History was fairly run-of-the-mill. I've got vocab to do for Monday, and a test then too.

French we spent going over the questions we received about Cyreno DeBergerac and discussing Godspell. That took most of the period, and we were given the rest of the period for ourselves.

In Off, I typed up an article summary for Theology. It wouldn't print on the computer I had typed it on, so I had to borrow a disk from the librarian to get it to another one. I printed it out and left.

Upon reaching the cafeteria, I realized that I never took the summary from the printer. =/ So, I speed walked back to the library, grabbed the paper, and went back to the cafeteria.

Ben's Yu-Gi-Oh Update!

I dueled John twice today. I beat him the first time, rather badly, I'd say. I let him continue to play about 11 turns after I could have beaten him. For about 4 of those turns, he had no monsters on the field, and my weakest monster could have wiped out his LifePoints. Then he started a minor comeback, destroying all but one of the monsters with a Mirror Force.

I decided to beat him a turn or two later. He got lucky and pulled out his Summoned Skull, and then powered up his other monster, Gazelle the Mythical King of Beasts. He attacked my Forgiving Maiden with Summoned Skull, and I cut it's attack in half with my Mirror Wall Trap. The difference in their stat strengths wiped him out.

We started up another duel, but the bell rang before we could finish. He was livid, as he had gotten a pretty good draw that time.

In Chemistry we had a quiz. Mr. Woodmansee says I got one wrong and got a ninety, but I think there's been some mistake. Not out of arrogance, mind you, but I was just very sure of all of my answers, and nobody else managed to get a 100 either. It just made me sort of suspicious, is all.

In Theology we started discussing Capital Punishment, particularly concerning juveniles. Did you know that in some states, it is legal to sentence a 7 year-old to death?

One of the girls in my class is particularly staunch with her position that persons under 18 can't be held fully accountable for their actions. She's irritating about it, though. She'll interrupt someone while they're talking to put in her argument. It bugs me when people do that. Particularly when I want my view expressed. I'd like to sit down and to with her about the issue, I think. I agree that some level of sympathy (for lack of a better word) should be shown to juveniles in court. some of these kids, mental/emotional/social instability or none, they've reached the point where their actions become more than just "not acceptable."

Heh, I didn't mean to go off on a tangent there. (or did I? O.o)

I took the bus home after school, having a nice talk with Anastasia, the cute Freshman girl I mentioned in my last post. We were telling another girl, Mallory, about Godspell. We pretty much concluded that she would just have to see it to understand.

I got my Sacred Heart yearbook today. I don't go to Sacred Heart anymore as a student, but I am an Alumni and I still have friends there. This year's eighth grade class in particular had a lot of my friends in it. Out of 20 kids, ten of them are going to St. Bernard's next year, and three or so are undecided.

Tracey gave me a ride home when she got off of work, and I've been home since then; watching Emily and Michael, my younger sister and brother. My parents couldn't find anyone to watch them, which meant that I couldn't see Godspell tonight.

My mom cheered me up, though. When I asked her if I could go tomorrow night (not really expecting a positive reply) she said yes! She asked me why I wouldn't be able to go, and I reminded her that we had a birthday party to go to. She said that it wouldn't be fair for me not to be able to see the play on either night, and that I could miss the party. ^______^

I really do love this play. It's just awesome.

So, I've spent the past few hours browsing websites, playing games, talking to people on AIM, eating dinner, and reading.

I've posted a Recruitment thread for my new Yu-Go-Oh RPG. I've got a few sign-ups so far, and most of them look great. :) I'm hoping to get more people before I start, though. That, and the thread probably hasn't even been up for a full day yet. :p

I'd like to go to the Duelist League tomorrow, and I need to talk to my parents about it when they come home tonight. I'm thinking that if I toss in the line: "Since I watched the kids tonight" or something like that. That generally works. =P

Okay, I've got plenty more things to talk about, but this post is pretty long already, so I'll stop here.

Topics to discuss later:

Kill Bill Vol. 1
Mother's Day
Sleep (or lack thereof)
English Paper

(almost) ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR ME TALK ABOUT.

There's an old Maori saying,

"A fruit tree which grows on a dunghill..."

"...is sure to flourish."
