Well...I've got some bad news, some badder news, and some badderer news. We'll let things escalate.

Bad news, I have until next week to prepair two 8 minute speeches. O.o I hate giving speeches. Who made public speaking a requirement!? First one is on homelessness. I supposed to persuade people to take action to fix it around here. I think I can ramble for 7-9 minutes on that. I'll come up with a few organizations...I won't bore you with that. The second speech is about Language and Learning, well, I think my group just covers language. But, no one in my group has contacted me about dividing up the section O.o... I may have to take charge and do somethin' -.-

Ok, badder news: You guys remember that history test I ranted about not too long ago...I got a 47 on it ;_; Bastid doesn't know good writing when I shove it down his throat. I'll thank whatever higher power did this, but the teacher saw fit to scale the grades >.> so I "earned" a D. I swear, I'm going to die of something horrible once I hit 30somethin'. Cause I'm usin' up so much luck it's got to be draining life from me. Anyways, on a non-bad note, I had to turn in a few "cultural enhancement" papers (they've been due all semester, I wait until the last night possible to write them ^^). I wrote the first one on "Inherit the Wind", it's about the Scopes Monkey trial. A very good read, I reccomend it to everyone. Ok ok, I got a 3/5 for that one, yep, that's a 60% for you who didn't get it off the bat. Here's the funny part, I've read the screenplay, seen the movie, and done extensive research on that Trial and I get that grade (bastid didn't know which one I was writing about so he graded me down. They're ALL THE EXACT SAME STORY DIP!@#$!!!!!!). I write the second one on the new movie "Flags of our Fathers". I crap out a page and a half, and he gives me a 6/5...I haven't even seen the movie...All I did, was find a little 5 sentence review of it and ran with the premice. O.o I don't think he's right in the head, he's been teaching for 30 years and he can't spot BS? Anyways, again for the math challanged (or lazy, personally I would be the second) I got 3/5 for a paper I new all about, 6/5 for one that I didn't know a thing about, which gives me a grand total of 9/10, which is an A ^^ An A grade for 2 papers, that's never happened before! Woo Hoo!!!

Ok, you knew it was comming, the badderer news:
I got into a life or death situation late last night (or really, it was just a few hours ago). I was off at gamestop grabbing myself an application for a job (w00t for employment) and I come out to my truck and there's this guy standing outside the driver side door lookin' in. What happens next seems like somethin' right out of TV. I'm thinking, ok, this guy was gonna break in and possibly steal my ipod (meh, I can't update the music anymore anyways) or worse my whole truck (I would murder the person who does that, just for future/incriminating evidence). I'll just catch his attention and run 'em off. Thieves are often cowards now adays. I was wrong though.

Me: Hey bud, you like my truck?

Badguy(sorry, I didn't stop to catch his name): Yeah, I see you've got some expensive stuff in there. (stupid me left the ipod in the transmitter)

Me: Yeah, well, if you'll excuse me. (I move closer and pull out my keys)

Badguy: (pulls out gun [no, I'm not kidding]) I think you're just gonna hand those over to me.

My hearts goin' a mile a minute right then. Holy !#@$ is this guy for real?

Me: Take it easy, some junker like this (sorry truck ;_;) can't net you enough to be worth what you're thinkin'.

Badguy: You just hand over the keys and no one has to be the wiser. (he reaches out his non-gunholding hand to receive the keys)

I have 2 choices here, I can hand over the keys, let him drive away, call the cops and hope they get 'em. OR, I can try my luck and defend what's mine.

I went for the later.

I held the keys out for him to take, as I dropped them into his hand he looked over to his left (I don't know what he was looking at, nor do I really care at this point) that was all I needed. I shot my right arm forward to grab the gun by the barrel and twist it out of his hand (suprizingly easy, just so you know). Then more instinct took over and I threw my entire body's worth of momentum into hitting his right elbow. Let me just tell you, the sound of bone cracking and joints dissapearing are never pleasent.

So he's on the ground now, arm bending the wrong way from the elbow down, and I'm phoning an ambulance. He passed out, so the wait for the police was kinda quiet...that kind of stunned quiet. I give my statement and go along my way. There's no pressing charges or anything, I said he's gonna be punished enough and since it was only attempted armed robery, he won't be jailed for that long (if at all, stupid justice system).

Everything seems a bit out of place now (I'm actually getting a little misty eyed, wtf, I won, why would I be upset?). But, I'll move on. Such is my mentality, everything happens, then it's in the past. Remember it, but don't dwell on it. You can quote me on that one.

Well, registration is in the morning (actually about 7 hours from now...maybe I should sleep)...that's gonna be frustrating. Servers never were good when the load was low...

I'll be drawing some more pictures later, so look for them tomorrow.
