Well, no one commented at all on the last post, so I'll just say what was wasting my time: picking my bedroom door lock. It didn't work because the lock is broken from the key side. But does the little riddle/hint thing make sense now? Choose is a synonym for pick, locks contain pins, and are opened by keys. Tricky, eh?

---

Well, I changed the poll above because I was curious. I didn't feel like being sneaky and having PHP tell me which browsers people use and when they actually visit and all that. I was too lazy to write the script and use PHPMyAdmin to make the table in the database. So please vote so I know if my theme change is even viewable. :-D

---

"MORTAL PEEP FIGHT!!" (Nice job, Kitsune, now I don't even have to see them to want to scream that!)

---

I need to get back into writing again. I haven't been writing much recently, and last night I did a freewrite thing that ended up becoming a story instead of words that came to mind. So I lost the point of it there. The story was so demented that I decided to spare you all and not even type it. I'm sure you wouldn't really want to read it anyways. It was pretty dumb because I was tired.

My story thing hasn't really gone anywhere. I still haven't completely written the ending and I can't remember where exactly I left off, because I always thought that I wrote a part 4, but I can't find it anywhere! Oh well.

I made Sarah Warner laugh today when she was grading my test in English class. One of the questions was worded oddly, so I drew an arrow to the word "hath", which did not fit the sentence as well as "had." I also proceded to write "haha" next to the aforementioned arrow, which she fount apparently funny. Then Mrs. Smith didn't get it when Sarah said what was funny, and looked at it and laughed at me too. She gave me a weird look too. Most of the class cracked up. It was great. :-D

I'm stuck as to how I should spend my newest money. I have enough to get a new Cingular cellphone, but I REALLY want an iPod. Then I want the TI keyboard for my graphing calculator so that me and my girlfriend can exchange notes much more easily. They're all nice things to contemplate for a while, but my waccy-traccy phone dies this coming Sunday. SO I have to either buy a new card or buy the Cingular one. I might just get the 40 minute card again to hold me over until I can make the decision of what I really want to do, but that could be more than the 60 days they give me with that card. And the $20 is better than the $50 I'd expend to buy just the new Cingular phone. Then it's still a prepaid thingy with expiration dates and all. TO make it easier on me, Cingular.com and click on goPhone. I'm getting the $1 a day,$.10 a minute one.

---

Well, I should procede on to bed so I can shower, write, and try to sleep.

Seeya!

   Waste of 1.5 Hrs.

Can anyone guess what I was doing that wasted an hour and a half? Here's a hint: The chosing the pins is key. I'll see if anyone can guess it by next post (More than likely, late monday), and I'll see about making something for them. Maybe it would be a revival of the virtual toast??

---

Well, not much has gone on recently. I still haven't transfered the PHP from the notebook to the computer. So I'm still in the same place on Kitsune's Christmas present. I've been dorking around on Howstuffworks.com again. I know now how some stuff that doesn't exist yet will work. (DNA computers and digital jewelry anyone?)

My girlfriend called and left an incomprehensible message and no caller ID trace, so I can't call her back because there is a full page of people with her last name and I don't know her dad's name or their address. So I'll have to figure out what it was all about on Monday. It's not cool trying to listen to a device that uses such low quality. Why can't phones use more of the bandwidth in the phone lines and get better quality?!?

Oh, yeah. I messed with my theming again. I took out the blue-ish thing and the paper is transparent-ish now. (Sorry non-firefox users! IE doesn't work right!)

---

I went to bed early-ish for no reason. My dad didn't get to go to the tile showroom anyways. My sister decided to be a pain and want to come with, and she needed to watch the puppy so Mom wouldn't have to because she didn't feel good and she watched the puppy during the day all week long. She ends up pitching a hissy fit and complaining about how she always has to watch the puppy. (Who was a watching the puppy from 4-10 the past week?!?) She watches the puppy for an hour or so each day. Whooo.... Don't wear yourself out, sister!

So now my dad is stuck at the point of being ready to tile the shower, but no tile with which to tile with. There's cement-board on the walls in there and a basin, but no tile walls or shower door. He's done all he can do without tiles.

---

Well, I should either get back to what I was doing, or go to bed, or both.

Seeya!

   Yes?

I'm FINALLY back on the internet after about a week (shh... 4 days!) of non-computerness. The silly puppy needs someone to sleep on. I guess I'm boring enough for a puppy to do such on. Once puppy gets housebroken, we'll have to break her of the habit of sleeping on people.

---

Well, I am now officially mad at my gym teacher. He is supposed to lock the lockerroom doors when class starts, but he doesn't. And on Wednesday, someone opened up my backpack and stole my CD player. MY $50 SONY CD PLAYER!!! So now I have to listen to my MP3 player device through some stupid, cheap, low-output Koss earbuds that are so frickin' huge that the fall out of my ears while I'm just sitting there. and they're PURPLE! =O I could die...

I now have to decide if I'm going to wait a year and just buy an iPod or if when I get my money next weekend if I'm going to buy another of the same model CD players. I think that one was cool. If you listened to certain songs a lot, you could make it generate a playlist from those tracks, or ones that you always skip over, or even -- gasp -- program your own playlist. And it would remember that for up to 99 CDs. It was a Sony D-NE320 (Black version).

---

Well, I have a ton of time and no clue how to use it. Perhaps I should type the PHP code I wrote in my notebook so that I can actually finish my Christmas present to KitsuneTsuki before her birthday!! (I'm really far behind... sorry)

DAAAAAAHHH Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da...

Those of you who watch Bugs Bunny might know that. Or how about this one?
"Be-bop-bo, dot-an-deh-ritterot, and on so on so on so forth, be-bop-bo, dot-an-deh-ritterot an on so on so on SO!"

Classics! Whee!

Well, since it's still Sunday for me, today was my brother's birthday! We took him and his family (i.e. wife and daughter) out to Outback for dinner. I had this steak thing, but I didn't eat it yet. I ate too much appetizer/salad/bread/all that stuff, so I didn't have room for it. :-D

We got him a couple of PS2 games and a CD. I wrapped them, but we only had enough paper for the one shoebox, so after I -expertly- wrapped the box, I -expertly- stuffed the box with the various items we got him. The card we got him was funny. It said something about that only the best brother in the world could open it, and it was glued shut. The back was something like "You actually tried to open it?!?!?!?" We all got a good laugh out of it. =P

---

I spent about an hour or two on various small web-design ventures this late-evening/early-morning. The sad part is that the smaller web design thing I did is probably three timed cooler than my main website. I need content. But I don't have it. But oh well, what can I do? I write things that don't appear in many places anyhow.

The permalink things on the posts bug me now! I'm so used to there only being one link that I think that it's only one big link and end up clicking the permalink link instead of the Comments link! It was quite odd. But I think the Permalink thing is handy, but it will take some getting used to for me. I'll have to make sure that I remember that comments are on the left, permalinks on the right.

---

We have no school monday/"today"!!! It hasn;t snowed much, but BPS decided to close. That's why I'm posting so late/early for a school night. I didn't really want to go to school today. I think my dad still has to go to work though. I almost want to laugh at him for having to go to work, but that's mean so I'm not going to do that. Another reason I won't is I'll probably be asleep when he leaves, because I sleep late because I stay up until three in the morning. But it's enjoyable to stay up late. I like the night. It's cool. But it sucks in the basement here because if I'm typing a lot or using the mouse a lot, my hands get ice cold. I can go upstairs and turn on the faucet to hottest and wait for it to warm up and then the water that runs off my hands is either lukewarm or cold. IT'S TOO COLD!!! :-D

---

I want an iPod... The black iPod Video 30GB. If I had $300, I'd've (is that proper english?!?) spent it on an iPod already. I want to buy it online so I can get that 1337 laser engraving thing done on it. *thinks that 1337 is funny, and finds irony that both 1337's line up perfectly in the post-composition box* The iPods look soooo cool. I didn't really want one that bad until last night when I read an article about how the iPod works on howstuffworks.com. I always think the pictures of the black iPods (like on apple.com) look really fake. They have too even a glare/reflection to look realistic. I think they drew the iPod around the screen image.

---

Well, I should probably go to bed so I can actually do things tomorrow before 5:00...

Seeya!

   Code Green!

I'm don't feel like the mood icon, but that was the only green one!

Yes, I have solved my schedule crisis. In homeroom today, I decided to postpone JAVA until Junior year, then I have CSR's and Spanish III. Here's what my schedule might look like.(bold signifies required classes.)

1. English 10
2. Biology
3. Geometry
4. World History
5. P.E.: Lifetime Sports / Video Journalism
6. Spanish III
7. CSR I&II

Yet again I added a weird HTML comment in there that is hilarious to me...

---

I had a scare for a few seconds today when I checked my email. I was expecting an email from my girlfriend's friend. And when in arrived... *cue dramatic music* I SENT IT THROUGH THE WRONG ACCOUNT!!!

So yeah. I was looking in the folder that it would place it in, and it was in the folder for the email account related to my secret! It was scary, because she knew it was me... Now I have to wonder if she knows me elsewhere on the internet, because I didn't even sign the email with my name at all. It contained no identifier other than the "From" field. But I was scared. I guess outlook determined that since it's related to my secret that I must send it through the secret related account... But I don't think that she knows what my secret is. Unless she goes googling with that email address and that name... They are paired on my secret website that almost no one knows about. Lets hope she didn't.

---

I'm seriously contemplating dropping my secret on the world. All it takes is a few keystrokes, mouse clicks, and waiting before anyone who looks at any of my content discovers it. I know that it's not commonly known or liked for that matter. Maybe I should just show everyone. It's only 13 keystrokes for the short version of the sentence. But that would be typing the words I fear saying most. However, if I have managed them before, shouldn't it be easier now? No. I was hurt by them, indirectly. Alex Williams and Jessie Allen were among the first outside the others like me to know. Right now, only one person who doesn't hate me knows it, and she knows who she is. ;) I don't know... I'm possibly to paranoid to tell anyone. My parents don't even know, and I want it to stay that way. They'd probably take me to a mental hospital, and there is nothing wrong with my head. (Nothing too out of the ordinary, at least...) I have set up the poll above with this question and these answers:

Should I expose my secret?
Yes
No
Don't ask me!!!!!

I would appreciate votes and comments and PMs ect. It will all help me reach my decision. If I do decide to, this will be the first location that will see this secret. It's huge and I'm scared of everyone knowing about it.

---

Gym class today was weird... Me and a friend of mine had the really huge excercise ball, and we were throwing it at the wall and catching it, and this group of girls runs past and steals it. After about 8 minutes of politely asking for it back, we went and told the teacher. He told the girls to give it back. Most of them were black girls, so they said that we were racist. I, for one, hate everyone equally, be you black, white, latino, all of the above, some of the above, whatever. My friend made a complete joke out of that the one girl touched him. It was something like since the black girl touched him, he was going to die. He even said it with a sarcastic, joking tone. Apparently, all of them were too stupid to catch that, so now he has been labeled racist by them. They don't hate me yet, because I'm far too nice to people I don't know. I may be a loser, but I'm a nice loser. I tend to let people walk all over me at school... but then at home I DON'T TAKE NO CRAP! If my sister takes something of mine and politeness doesn't solve it, I WHOMP ON HER! I'm a little more nice to my parents. I poke them instead, becaue that gets on my dad's nerves. :-D But yeah. I lend money too much, never get it back; give people writing utensils, never get them back, give advice, get (almost) none in return, all that. I have had several people tell me that I'm "too nice," and the teachers usually say that I'm a model student. (even though if I think the assignment is stupid, I don't do it, and I never study for tests and quizzes) I guess I am too nice, usually. I do, however, lie frequently about only having one writing utensil. I ALWAYS have at least two of my Pilot pens and a mechanical pencil on hand. (Save for Gym class...) So there's my downfall on niceness. But I always feel bad then if I lie and they still can't get something to write with. My conscience is an evil, evil beast. (Hmm... Could be interpreted two ways!)

---

Well, I've obviously been procrastinating going to bed... Unfortunately (I've been spelling that word wrong for YEARS!!!!!), I must go to bed to avoid grounding and punishments of that sort.

Seeya!

P.S. Do you know that french cryptologist, Vigenere? I know his cipher. If you use the keyword HIDDEN on this message, you will get my secret! :O

   Movies!

My dad just ramndomly decided to take us three (Dad, my sister, me) to the movies today. We saw "Eight Below." It wasn't as great as I was expecting it to be, but it was still good. :) It had been almost a year or so since we'd been to the theater last. Quite odd.

Okay, funny about this: We were leaving, and we bought popcorn to take home for Mom. After the cashier came back from the popper machine, she told us to "enjoy the show... " I know she's supposed to say that and it's polite as well, but I had to literally bite my tongue to hold back laughter. It was great.

For so long I held the "19...19...1985" position, then I got a few people who I usually don't see comments from post on here (and obviously look around a little...), so I now hold #1973. *does a dorky happy dance*

I'm such a geek... Since I have no clue at all about hockey (except that it's awesome and I want to know what's going on), I searched google and found "teh 0ff|(|/-\|_ |\||-||_ r001|300|<" and started reading it. I probably will get to the end in a month (or a week) and not remember anything. Except that the goal lines are 2" wide, the glass should be "saftey glass" and 8' high or more, and that a team's penalty box is directly across the ice from that team's bench thingy.

That 1337 stuff looks really bad coming from me... lol

---

Hey, if you're reading this and are thinking about buying the Art of Otaku (because you haven't yet), then do me a favor, and click this link before you do. It will drop you at the main page of the site and you can read all that stuff and even view a sample of it! Way cool! Plus, if you buy it within the month, I get money for that! Even cooler! (That was dumb.)

I have a hard decision to make. I have 2 open year-spots for registration next year, and I don't know how I'm gonna fill them. I want to take Spanish III, JAVA I, and Computer Service and Repairs I & II, but that makes three spaces and I have to fill 2.5. I may take spanish III and JAVA I and then take CSRI this year, and II the next, because I'm DEFINATELY taking both CSR's so I can take the Cisco Academies I-IV. GRR! Planning high school is hard! Then I STILL have to figure out what I'm doing for the phys ed credit I need. Stupid unset/unknown registration date!

---

Well, I shall do something like what I should have done last night: Writing or otherwise.

Seeya!

P.S. I noticed that someone said they were sorry that my grandma died. It was my girlfriend's grandma, not mine.

P.P.S. You have to check this flash movie out! It's totally hilarious! LOLWTFOMGBBQM8

Flowers and yelling! Hockey game?!?

Yes, I did go to a hockey game. "Omaha" Lancers vs. Sioux Falls Stampede. Stampede won, 3-2 in overtime. Mentioning ITT A/CD must be a curse upon the home team! It was one of the work outings my dad planned for them. I had fun, even though I had almost no clue what was going on... There was lots of penalties... Mostly the Lancers' fault. The people behind me WOULD NOT SHUT UP! They called all the refs morons--I couldn't help but laugh at that--, and they kept telling the opposing team's coach how they think they should coach the team. When they were introducing the visitors, most everyone was yelling "WHO CARES?!?" after each player, and their neat projector system was showing purple, pink, and baby-blue flowers over them. Then they make a HUGE deal out of the Lancers (of course)... yeah. And they had a remote controlled blimp! It dropped things on people. Very entertaining. I want one!!!!!

---

I'm boreded... My girlfriend leaves for Oklahoma tomorrow (11th) for her grandmother's funeral. She died of cancer about a week ago. She has to give up her dog, Bo/BoBo, and she'll be gone a whole week. I'm gonna go crazy while she's gone. (Though I'm already there, have been there and back many times, so on, so forth.)

---

Well, I still need to figure out what I'm doing with my styles and stuff on here. I haven't decided yet, but I like it how it is thus far... I'll have to mess with it a bit more to figure that out. :P

---

Well, I shall perhaps do something constructive... like writing or something like that...

More Themyness

I played with my theming again. You may have noticed that the letters are lighter, and the background it a wolf. I edit that photo to make it gradient to black, but I messed up the left edge. I may pull it back into PSP sometime ad stip off that odd column of pixels, but not tonight.

---

I ended up working on C++ last night, and no writing at all. Instead, I wrote a small command line app. It only runs in the command line though. It says "Enter the radius of a circle:" and waits for input, then calculates the area by taking input times itself times 3.14. Rather easy, except that my compiler is stupid and thinks that I can't have the program return nothing, but I make it return 0 then to counter that. Aren't I tricky?

---

I was bad... I "hacked" my girlfriends email account! :o But then I was stupid and opened an email that wasn't marked as read yet... Now I can get caught! Plus it's really smart that I'm posting it on the internet too... I'm almost begging to be in trouble! :-D But it's not really hacking, because she told me what her password is......

---

Now, tonight, I MUST work on writing. This ending is taking me the longest of all the writing sections thus far. I think I wrote another "chapter" of it the other day, but I didn't like it and I'm not sure where I left off on the previous section. I think I was in section 4 when I stopped, then wrote a new section 4 that was supposed to be section 5? I don't know.

---

Wow! I'm typing really slow right now. And I still can't type everything right the first try! If I just try to type "word," I end up with "wpdr"... At least I haven't "red teh steckies" and posted about them... :-D (Kinda inside joke. Depends on if she remembers that. ;) )

---

Well, I'm gonna do what I did last night: Look for food and then, this time, write!

Seeya!

EDIT: IT just just thunderstormed for 5 minutes... It wasw almost over before I could realize that it was a thunderstorm and not something in the house!

Themeyness

I messed a little with my theming here. I made the table a little skinnier and centered it within the blockquote tag that it's in, while I made the blockquote tag wider, to accomodate the lost table width. Not sure what I'm gonna do to it now, but I shall find out.

---

The story has been worked on a little, but not much. I'm still writing the end! I can still also guarantee that no one will be able to guess it. There will be clues later in the story, but I have stuff to tell most people before letting them read it.

---

Kitsune and I were chatting for several hours on MSN, like we usually do when we get the chance, but tonight, I decided to play with one of those "activities" things. "Music Man" was the title. It was quite entertaining. Kitsune had piano while I had saxophone. It was fun because they play what you type in. I like the piano piece for "cat". And the saxophone and piano pieces for "kitty" and "earthworm" (respectively) are the same! Scary! But the thing is great fun. We were typing bunches of logical nonsense. I typed ther first page or so of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone in there. She put her post into there. Great fun. I recommend it, though it did take us quite a while to get it all loaded up and running.

---

I've been procrastinating my C++ work. I have a book now, but I still haven't done anything with it. I think after I finish this post, I'll do a little work on it and then go to bed. Or possibly write a little more on the story ending. Depends on what mood I'm in when I finish.

---

One of my girlfriend's firends is an idiot. He emailed her asking if she loved him, then I was refered to as "that guy that you're going out with now." That makes me feel so... noticed... But yeah, I think he was either really out of it or he needs some help or something. Hasn't he noticed that we've been together since December? I dunno.

---

*yawn* Perhaps I may do nothing but go to bed. I'm gonna see what foods I can eat then maybe I'll C++ or write or both. I'm rather tired, so I may do neither! :o

Seeya!

Well, I have found an odd program that is VERY useful. It is a small, notepad-like document handler made by NullSoft. The name is the odd part. I'll tell you that later.

The program encodes the text you type to it with a "passphrase" that can be forgotten by the program to encode the document. It is like a Notepad app, except it doesn't have the save feature, it saves automatically when you close it.

Okay. Now the odd part. The programs name is SafeSex... That's disturbing... I don't know the logic behind the "sex" part of it, but that's its name!

---

I started writing on my story again! But it's not the next section... It's the end! That way I can make up what happens along the plot of the story however I feel and not lose track of the intended ending. I'm currently not telling it to anyone, but it will be released in the appropriate sequence. I will say, however, that the story takes one, huge turn before the ending, and no one will be able to guess it until it's right in front of you. Trust me, YOU WILL BE AMAZED!

---

Perhaps I shall finish writing that story of mine's ending... Then maybe pick it up at section IV again.

I think I'll do that now! Seeya!
