Went Swimming Again

I do some of my best thinking in the pool. Recently, I've been thinking of that story I've been working on since forever while swimming. I've made a lot of changes, all of which I feel are for the better. I've been resolving many plot holes in backgrounds and origins recently, the areas I've had the hardest time fixing. That's very good. I've noticed two things about the writers of mangas. The first is a bad thing. Mangas are usually written and drawn by just one guy, which sucks for me because I'm not a good artist and don't really want to do that part. However, a manga is pretty much written by the same person during it's complete run, which I like because I wouldn't want someone else doing my work. As long as I can find an artist to draw what I see in my head, I'll be fine. This weekend, I'll probably go get supplies. I may get new glasses. I'll also need shampoo, soap, and other bathroom stuff for college. Maybe some new jeans and socks. I've already packed my DVD player and DVDs, my Gamecube and games, my mangas, some other books, and some clothes. I should have plenty of stuff to put stuff in. Now, I just need to figure out what to do with all the stuff I'm not taking with me. I'm a pack rat. I keep too much junk. I'll probably shove all of it into boxes and put them away. Still, the most dangerous task is still ahead: cleaning under my bed. I mostly have old shoes that are too small for me under there. I'll do that sometime this weekend. I'll also mow the yard too, but that won't be hard. Well, I guess that's enough for now. Bye.

Nothing Happened

Either my dad forgot or he got too busy. Either way, nothing happened today. He didn't make me do anything. I stayed home today, went through my clothes for college, and went to the comic shop. That's it. I have plenty of stuff to carry all that I pack. I need a few new clothes, but not many. Obviously, I'm taking my laptop, my scanner, and my printer with me to college. My GBA-SP is coming. Probably my Gamecube too, but I don't know if I'll have a tv. I gat get a microwave from my mom since she has one she's not using. I'm not sure what else I'll need because I don't know what my roommate will bring. I might be able to bring a minifridge if he doesn't. We would just need to fix the one we have here so that I could take it. I probably need some bed sheets, but my mom may have some of those too. I should have all that I need. One think I'll definately need is my jacket. I've had it for around two years. I wore it during most of the school year, even up to the last day of school. I like that jacket. It's not like it's an expensive jacket. It's just some jacket I got at Wal-Mart. It's blue and grey, and blue and white are the school colors, so I don't have to spend money to get a school jacket. I'm cheap. I guess that's enough for now. Bye.

Tuesday is Done

Not much happened. I got a letter from my college telling me the name of my roommate. Well, I guess I'll see him soon. I also got this scholarship check for $250. I'll probably use it on books. I then went swimming. Other than that, nothing really happened. Although, my dad made me wash dishes. I usually wash them anyway,but he made me wash them at night. I usually was them the next day. It's not like there were a lot or that he was planning to do anything with them. It makes me suspicious. He might have a long list of chores for me to do tomorrow, or maybe he'll stay home and try to make me drive. I'll be upset if he wakes me up early in the morning. My stepmom wants me to do something everyday to get ready for college. I don't know what I would be doing everyday. I'll be using a lot of stuff until I go, so I can't pack it all. They want to turn my room into a guest room, as well as repaint it. I'll have to pack some stuff away then. I doubt if I could just stash some stuff in my closet here while I'm at college. I'm really going to hate cleaning under my bed. I haven't done that in years. That's all for now. Bye.

Monday is Over

I watched Kill Bill Vol 2. It's not near as gory as vol 1, but it's still good. Also, for a small spoiler, the title happens. That's all I'll say. I'll return it tomorrow to get a dollar credit on the next rental. Maybe I'll be lucky and they have Tales of Symphonia. Other than that, I have no plans for Tuesday. I guess I'll be here. Well, bye for now. Don't forget, I'm still taking manga suggestions.

I'm Home

I got back from my mom's. I had my eyes checked today. As I thought, they overestimated my left eye the first time, so today they found it out. I didn't get new glasses though. Oh well. I rented Kill Bill vol 2, which I will watch tonight. I wanted to rent Tales of Symphonia for my Gamecube, but someone beat be to it. I'll get it later. Other than that, it's fine. Today is good though. All the kids around here started school today, but I don't go until next week, so ha to them. Thanks for all the manga suggestions. Please keep them coming. See you all later.

What's the Time?

I'm starting this post at about 4:45 AM. Yes, I said AM. I'm at my mom's place. Friday was ok. I was at my dad's as usual, and my mom picked me up. She dropped me off the my usual comic book store, where I got really lucky. They had Rurouni Kenshin vol 6. That was the one I was missing. It's a good one too. Later, my mom took me and my stepbrother to eat some Chinese food. I got really full. There was almost no room for the fortune cookie. After that, I mostly watched TV. I saw The Shining and The In-Laws, and here I am. Sorry, but I didn't get to many of your sites. I don't get as much access at my mom's home. The connection is fast, but the computer is slow. That doesn't mix well enough for me. Today, tomorrow, or just Saturday if that's what you want to call it, I'm supposed to get my eyes examined. I won't though. My dad will be upset. I'll get them examined Sunday or Monday, whichever day my mom takes me home. It saves gas that way. I doubt my dad would like that as an excuse. I don't really want to hear him gripe, but it's less than a week and a half before moving to college, so I can stand it...hopefully. One last thing. Anyone want to suggest a manga? I went to Books-A-Million a while ago, and there was a lot. I just got Kenshin since it's what I was there for. Still, I think I should expand my manga from just the stuff on Cartoon Network. Any suggestions? Well, that's all for now. I'm going to sleep...finally. Good night, or good morning, whichever you prefer.

So Close

On the 24th, I move to college. I'll have to start packing soon, probably just a day or two before leaving. Well, today, I mowed my neighbor's yard. I got $30. More money to buy comics with. Other than that, I didn't do much. However, I stepped out of my room earlier and my dad told me to pick cherry tomatoes. I don't like doing that. My parents tell me That it would be better if I got out of my room more. If that happens when I step out of it, they lose their arguement. Well, Friday, which is now today I guess, I go over to my mom's again. I don't know what I'll do. She had digital cable, so I get to watch better TV. Other than that, not much will happen to my knowledge. Maybe I'll get my mom to stop by the rental place for me to rent a game. I guess that's it. Nothing else I can think of. Well, bye.

No Title Idea

I know. I didn't post yesterday. Why? Well, nothing happened. Nothing happened today either. Today, all I did was mow the yard, play my GBA-SP, and eat. That's about eat. As for the game I played, amazingly, it is Pokemon Silver. Believe it or not, but back about 4 years ago, back at the peak of the pokemon hype, I was really into it. I played the games, had the cards, and even watched that awful show. Yes, the show sucks. The cards, they got old after a while. Still, I was feeling nostalgic, so I borrowed my cousin's game. That, and I've played all of my games. Besides, the actual games, not considering all the other stuff, aren't really all that bad. Still, I need to rent a new game for my Gamecube sometime if I can get to the game rental place. Last game I rented was Spider-Man 2, which was an awesome game. Well, tomorrow, which is Thursday for me, I'll mow my neighbor's yard probably. She pays, which is much better than mowing my yard. I guess that's it for now. Anyone think I leave anything out? Well, tell me in the comments. Bye.

Monday Night / Tuesday Morning

Monday was ok. I slept until 11:30 AM. That was cool. I washed the dishes, and that's the only chore for the day. There weren't even that many dishes. I ate leftover Chinese foon for lunch, and it's what I'll have on Tuesday too. I then went swimming. Remarkable, I didn't sleep on a float. I stayed in the water the entire time. Nothing else really happened. For Tuesday, I have to lay some mulch in the yard, mow the neighbor's yard, and wash dishes. There are more dishes this time too. I got a new alarm. As some of you might remember, I smashed my old alarm clock with a sledgehammer, an action my parents still do not know about. This one has a radio and a CD player. I can put a CD in and have that play for my alarm. That's much better. I guess that's all for now. Bye.

Sunday is Over

Not many people liked my horse and carriage idea. That's fine. Honestly, I'd rather run really, really fast or learn how to fly. Well, today I got up and ate breakfast. I later when to the pool to swim, and, shockingly, sleep on a float. I do that a lot. It's nice, peaceful, and quiet. It also feels good to have the sun shining on me. I have time to think and daydream. IT's cool. I came in, played my GBA-SP, and waited for dinner. I hade sesame seed chicken, pork fried rice, chicken wings, chicken on a stick, and a fortune cookie. I left enough for lunch tomorrow, or today, depending on how you think about it. I then took a shower, commented at some of your sites, and here I am. That's basically it. That's all for now. I'll leave you with the fortune from the cookie: "The only way to catch tiger cubs is to go into the tiger's den."
