Time of post: 3:49 PM

Hey everyone. It would seem that once again, it's time to start my post with an apology. I'm really sorry for not updating, returning guestbook entries, or visiting in so long. Also, my introduction on the THAT page is long overdue. So, I'm going to try to catch up with all of that today.

So, on to the day. The musical is coming along pretty nicely. It's not perfect by any means yet but so far so good. We're having some set problems but hopefully those were taken care of last night. Other than that and the usual rough spots though, we're doing really well.

Regular school wise, things have been really easy. I just finished taking the HSPA this week which was probably the easiest standardized test I've ever taken. Luckily for us, we were only taking the Science Field Test so it doesn't count - we're just essentially providing test results so they can perfect the section. Next year's Juniors have to take it though.

Oh, and in case anyone is interested, I wrote a tutorial on putting a music player on your site. The link is in the intro just above the little animated picture. I'd love for someone to try to get it working from just that tutorial so if you'd like to help me test it, please tell me. It's the first tutorial I've written and I'd like to make it as easy to follow as possible.

Anyway, I think I'll head over to the THAT page and finally introduce myself there. I'll follow that up with returning some guestbook entries and maybe even visiting some people ^_^

So, thanks for reading and remember, if you'd like some music (or even just want to help me test it), please send me a PM, an email, or find me online. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. I'm very sorry for my complete lack of activity on this site recently. This is really the first chance in a while that I've had to sit down and actually type a post. And on that note, I may be finally posting my introduction on THAT's page a little later. Oh, and if you have recently signed my guestbook and I haven't gotten back to you yet, I should hopefully do that in the next few minutes. Sorry about the wait.

So, I've been pretty busy lately. The Wizard of Oz is in full swing and with the addition of 26 fifth-graders, our cast is up to 68 people. And all things considered, things are going fairly well. It's still pretty rough and obviously by no means perfect but it's getting there.

In other news, I had my wisdom teeth pulled last week. The operation went fine and I got pretty lucky because I was never really in any pain and the pain killers didn't knock me out like I thought they would. I'm completely back to normal now though after getting the stitches out on Thursday.

I can't remember if there was anything else I was planning on saying. If there was, I guess it can wait until my next post. So, thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. Sorry I'm so late again but you may want to start expecting this during the week. It will be quick though as I don't have too much to report on tonight.

Really, this is just a quick update on the musical. Things have been going well and we had a very productive day today. Today's rehearsal was also a lot of fun though so that was good.

Anyway, that's really about all. Thanks for reading and have a great night and day tomorrow!

Hey everyone. Sorry this post is so late. With rehearsals running as they are though, this is really the first chance I have to get online. And on that note, I'm very sorry if I can't make it to your sites during the week. I'll try but it is likely that there will be nights where it is impossible. I will try my hardest to make some time for myO on the weekend though.

Anyway, on to today. Rehearsal went very well today. We only got through two scenes but we got so much accomplished. Those two scenes are now blocked (which means the cast is positioned for those scened, essentially - in case you didn't know) and we'll be running them tomorrow. I can't believe how well things are going though. I'm amazed at what we've been able to accomplish in just three weeks.

Other than that, not mush of interest happened today. School was it's usual self, though I was happy when I realized it wasn't Monday ^_^

Well, that's really about all I have for tonight. Thanks for reading and have a great night and day tomorrow!

Time of post: 12:47 AM

Hey everyone. Wow, look at this - three days in a row! Anyway, today has been good. A lot of the usual but there was one minor change from yesterday.

I saw Hostle today. I really liked it but there is one warning I have. I would not recommend seeing this movie if you are squeamish at the sight of blood... or dismembered body parts. Otherwise, I thought it was a good movie.

The rest of the day was spent playing Goldeneye (N64) with Andrew and his brother Jeff. I forgot just how fun that game really was and we had a blast playing it - especially when we turned on infinite ammo and did a round with rocket launchers ^_^

Weather wise, the day only got colder. When Andrew and I were leaving for the movie, the wind was blowing and we couldn't really take two steps without stopping. It was a little better after the movie though.

Oh, and I'll finally be getting around to replying to guestbook entries tonight. So, if you've signed my guestbook and I haven't replied yet, sorry about that. You should get a reply tonight.

Finally, I'd like to officially welcome Nikki back to myO. It's great to have you back! ^_^

Well, that's about all for tonight. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hey everyone. To add to last night's post, I actually got to talk to Nikki today ^_^ It really was nice seeing her again so I thought I'd mention that.

Anyway, today was pretty good. I went over to Andrew's house where we spent most of the day playing Nintendo 64. We mainly played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time though also played Mario Kart, Starfox, Goldeneye, and Mario Party (the first one) when his older brother came to join us. To some of you, that may not sound like the definition of a good day but we had fun.

The weather was really weird today though. It's been really nice out for the last couple of days and today, out of nowhere, it decides to snow. There wasn't much but the fact that it suddenly snowed is odd enough.

Anyway, that's really about all I have for tonight. So, thanks for reading and have a great night/day!

Hey everyone. I really need to get myself back to this site more. I've missed it, and all of you, so much recently.

Now, I don't know how many of you would remember her but I actually saw Nikki online for the first time in around a year and a half tonight. She was a member here quite a while ago and this is the first I've seen of her in a long time. I'm just sorry that I missed her - I only saw that the screen name was online.

Anyway, the musical is really coming along well - much better than we ever expected it would this early on. It's been a lot of fun but it's also been keeping me very busy. For instance, I was in the school for almost fourteen hours yesterday...

Speaking of being in school for extended periods of time, something interesting (and rather annoying) happened today. Right as the eighth period bell rang, someone pulled the fire alarm. We were outside for sixteen minutes while things were checked over. This wouldn't have been so bad but they actually made us make up the time we were outside after school. I really don't think this was fair at all.

Anyway, that's really all I have for tonight. Thanks for reading and have a great night/day!

Time of post: 2:24 AM - Happy New Year!

Hey everyone! Sorry again for everything relating to this site. This will be pretty quick though.

First of all, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great 2005 and will have a wonderful 2006!

Not much has been going on for me. I got my Xbox 360, along with Perfect Dark Zero, Dead or Alive 4, and Call of Duty 2. I slept over Andrew's house last night and we ended up playing DOA 4 for hours. It really is a lot of fun, no matter how frustrating it gets.

Anyway, that's really about all I've been doing so I guess I'll end it here. Have a great day!

Hey everyone. First and foremost, I'm very sorry for my inactivity here. I'd like to thank those of you who are reading this for continuing to visit, even when I haven't been able to return the favor in quite a long time. It really does mean a lot to me.

Now, on to recent events. In my last post, I mentioned that there was something I wanted to say that I forgot. Well, I have since remembered what that was ^_^ I got my license on November 21^st! The road test was extremely easy but the entire process still took a few hours thanks to all of the computers state-wide going down for a good hour or two. And to top it all off, they spelled the name of my street wrong. They put three R's in Terrace. I was not about to wait in line for another two hours to get that fixed though.

And speaking of my license, my car is finally registered and insured. All I have to do now is get it inspected and washed (and put on the plates) and I can stop taking my dad's!

Anyway, moving on, auditions for The Wizard of Oz are next week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So, that should be fun. And to prepare for them (I'm not auditioning, I'm keeping the same position I had for the play), I had to record a teacher playing a couple of songs which meant I finally had a use for a program I installed a while ago. And better yet, this is the first time it actually worked the way it was supposed to so we had a bit of fun with that.

In other news, it snowed today! And for once, we actually got off of school! They usually don't cancel school here unless the snow is above your front door (obviously, I'm exaggerating a bit there). So yay for a three day weekend!

Finally, I made some minor changes to my site, one of which you should be able to see if you're using Internet Explorer. The other should work in any browser that supports JavaScript.

Anyway, that's really about all for today. I will try my best to get around to some sites today. Right now though, it's time for me to go out and shovel the driveway... Luckily, we have a snow-blower so it won't be too hard. So on that note, thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

Hey everyone. I know it's been a while since I've last posted so there's quite a bit to catch up on. I guess the first thing I should mention is the play.

As some of you know, we did A Christmas Carol for our school play this year. It went great! We have actually had people tell us that it was Broadway quality. Our principal also said it was the best he's seen ever (and he's been at the school for 25 years). So yeah, we're all very happy about that.

It's really hard to get used to not having rehearsal after school now though. Lucky for me, that won't last long. Auditions for the musical start the week before Christmas. And while I'm thinking about the musical, I can finally tell you what it is ^_^ We'll be doing The Wizard of Oz this year which should be pretty fun.

So, now on to today (because I can't remember the rest). Seeing as it was Thanksgiving, there was no General Tso's today either (James, I'm sure you'll appreciate that ^_^). Dinner was great today though. We went to my aunt's house as usual. And also as usual, it was fairly boring as there is almost nothing to do there. Yay for laptops!

I could swear there was more I wanted to say but I can't think of any of it at this point.

Anyway, that's about it for tonight. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving (for those of you in the United States anyway), thanks for reading, and have a great day! Oh, and if I can think of whatever else I wanted to say, it will either be added to this post or in the next one.

P.S. Alexa, I hope you're happy. You seem to have still been here when I posted.
