Draikon...

So my friend is finally getting back to blogging. You know, the one who introduced me to blogging in the first place. His blog used to be something to do with Fusion Extreme and he never used it. His new one is Draikon and he'll actually use it i think. But really, idk.

So...

So... The week of school before christmas break, we missed a day of school, had a late start day and then missed another day of school, all for snow less than an inch. So then the next week it snowed a crap load and then there was a lot of snow which was really nice because it actually felt like christmas.

So on christmas morning we all woke up at like 5:00 and went down to open presents. I guess Santa reads this because i got the Rant!!! I also got a new car stereo so I can play CDs and iPods in my car, and I wont have blown speakers in the back anymore. I also got an amazing book called "I am America (And So Can You)" by Stephen Colbert from Hannah's mom. I highly recomend this book to anyone with eyes. And in brail to anyone without them.

There are problems with the stereo though. When we took the old one out with the CD stuck in it, it had four plugs on the back. One for each speaker, two in the front, two in the rear. The new one has two plugs. One for the front, one for the back. So we needed to go and get splitters, which we did, and that problem was fixed. It also has some problem where we can get music from the antenna, but we can't get any sound from the AUX or CDs. We don't know whats wrong with that.

It snowed for christmas, then the day after, it rained and all the snow melted. It's perfect.

My Phone....

So I'm pretty sure that my phone has reached a new level of retardation. It didn't used to be too bad, just kinda crappy. It has to download a text message just to look at it, but that doesn't usually take too long. It's not like it took a long time to send either. Maybe 5 seconds. But not anymore. Now it can take a whole minute to download, if it doesn't have a transcript error. Sometimes it'll sit in my pocket sending a message for ten minutes and it still won't have sent yet. It takes me forever to recieve messages from other people and sometimes I don't recieve them at all. Well maybe not "not at all." I'll usually get them a few hours later. Sometimes I get the same message from someone several times. My mom will send me a message that says something like "ok" and i'll get it like 3 times throughout the day. It's fantastic.

I hope Santa reads my blog.

Pandora radio...

Wow, 2 posts in a day, I know.

So I found this website where you can go in, put in the title of your favorite song, or band, and it will play music with similar qualities. It's pretty awesome. If you sign up, comment and tell me so I can add you to my friend list.

Oh and here's a link cause I forgot.

This weekend...

So this weekend a lot of fun stuff happened. I went and did "Christmas House" with Hannah. That's where we go and wrap presents for poor mexican people who can't find Walmart like normal people. Then we went to the ward Christmas party which was really dumb. The theme was "Christmas in Navoo." Seriously? I'm pretty sure that Jesus wasn't born there. That night it actually snowed and it's still on the ground. Then on Sunday, we all got in the car for an hour to go see Grandma Melot. She had sugery on her foot and they told her to watch out for blood clots... listening to her talk about it made me want to vomit my breakfast. We stayed there for a whole hour before the hour drive home when it started snowing again. This morning we had a two hour delay from school because there's half of an inch [if that much] of snow on the grass. Not the road. The grass. Which is dumb because I only have first and sixth period.

I still want the phone for Christmas. The Rant.

Utilikilt..

I'm pretty sure that I posted about Utilikilts but I'm not sure if I put up pictures of me wearing one.

Here you go. Oh and in the first one, the people in the mirror are the guy that works there, in the hat, and Lane. He's a duche.

I'm Hoping...

So this December my two year aggreement what ever thing runs out with Nextel. Nextel is horrible because the only reason to use them is for the direct-connect and I never use that. I only really ever text and sometimes call. So why should my parents waste money to pay for all that extra crap that I don't use? So since it's finally running out we can switch companies. We'll probably switch to Sprint because we can get the same plan as now, for less, and with better phones. The one I want is the Rant.

I like the look of it. Espicially compared to the one I have now... It's a beast. It's almost as ginormous as this technological wonder.

The Compass Test...

So the other day [last week I think] I retook the Compass Test, which I took before. Last time I did really good on the reading and writing sections but I didn't pass the math section by like five points. Since I didn't pass it, I was stuck only talking 2 classes at the college when I needed to take five. So I retook the test and this time [without any more practice than last time] and passed it. So I get to take math next quarter, which means that I can graduate from Highschool with a 2 year college degree.

This is for Geoffrey...

Homecoming......

So the homecoming dance was on the 18th. I know, I'm a little slow. Hannah ended up having to go and buy a dress the day of the dance because her mom didn't have time to help her finish before the dance started. So she had a black dress instead of a green one.

So for dinner we did end up going to Taco Bell and, surprisingly, there were two or three other couples there. So going to Taco Bell must not have been a bad idea. Plus it's the best food in the world.

So after that I drove us back down to Orting and we stoped at my house and played a few rounds of Halo 3 since it was half an hour before the dance started. Than we went to the dance at the new middle school and lots of our friends were there too. Jameson brought some random girl that he just decided to ask so that was really wierd cause she didn't talk to us or anything. Than we got our pictures taken and she got them today while I was at college. I'm excited. So than we just danced. This is weird coming from me, but I think I danced on every song. It was a lot of fun.

After the dance we went back to her house and ate icecream and watched some movie called American History X or something like that. It was about some Neo Nazi in prison and black people and stuff.

Whistle go...

This weekend...

So we didn't win homecoming royalty... bummer... but the guy who won, won with someone elses girlfriend. And he's fat and has gross facial hair like Bryon. So that was pretty funny.

So we went to the fabric store last friday with Hannah's mom to buy fabric so she could make her dress. It's a really pretty greenish color. It's kind of a wierd color, but I like it. So I got a piece of the material and took it to the tux place so I could get a vest and a bow tie to match [and a tux shirt cause the one I have is too small] and the closest one they had is a strange green color with like leaves or something designed into it or something.

Oh and I don't think we'll be going to Taco Bell anymore. Instead we're going to a place called Tokyos or something like that. They cook your food infront of you or something and it's supposed to taste good too.

And I'm not sure that Galen's going. I just don't know. He says he might but he also says that he might not.

We're going bowling after though. Is that alright mom? Ok, sounds good.

So it should be a lot of fun because a lot of our friends are going because they're all getting girlfriends/boyfriends now. I guess we started a trend. It was kinda slow to pick up though...

Homecoming...

So homecoming is coming up next weekend and so I needed to officially ask Hannah. Yes I realize that she's my girlfriend. So anyway I needed to ask her. I came up with the idea [not entirely on my own] to record a video of action figures going to homecoming and ask her that way. I would put it on here... but, well, my mom has a really old video camera and it only records to tapes. So I did that and she watched it and thought it was really good.

She's planning on making her dress that she's going to wear. I think that's pretty cool. But homecoming is next Saturday and she still needs to buy the material that she's going to make it out of so I can steal some to get a bow tie and tux vest to match it.

So for dinner on that night we'll be going to Taco Bell because, lets face it, Taco Bell is AMAZING!!! Her sister said that'll be really tacky but what ever. She suggested that we call in reservations.

My friend Galen will probably be going too, but by himself because he has no girlfriend, and he's afraid of girls. He also has long hair and wierd facial hair so Hannah's friends won't go with him [hahahaha]. Have I put a picture of him on here? Well here one is.


And here's him with his hair combed.



I might be able to get him to shave... but not cut his hair. And his facial hair is a lot longer and thicker now.
So yeah... It should be fun....

Oh and Hannah and I were nominated for Homecoming Prince and Princess. If we win than we get free tickets and free pictures. They voted today and Galen got like 6 people to vote for us. We might actually stand a chance.

Oh and thank you Liz.

My Current Book Situation...

So I just finished reading The Dragon Reborn and now I have to wait for the library system to get me the next one again. I hope that the next one follows Rand much more than it did in this one. That was starting to get on my nerves. Although I am starting to like Mat...

Why is the library so slow?

Oh and by the way, I owe you all $5,000...

Husky Band Day.

So yoday I have to go to Husky Stadium and play my quads during half time and the pre-game thing. I'm not excited. I don't really want to go. The only plus is that Galen will be there. Other than that it'll probably be dumb and my band teacher will probably cry. I'll bet you $5,000 that she will. Well it's time to go soon... Who's excited... Oh yeah! Not me!!!

College...

So today was the first day of college. I went to first period [U.S. History] this morning at 7:40, than I came home, gathered my stuff, and drove up to Pierce Community Collage. I was planning on parking next to the building that I have both of my classes in but it was all full... So I drove to the parking lot on the other side of my building, and it was all full... So I drove over to the only other parking lot [on the other side of campus] and it was all full... This was when some manly lady security guard covered the handicap painted guy in one of the spots with a plastic bag and duct tape and waved me into it. So I got the spot that was close to the building.... The wrong building. So I eventually make my way over to my building and go down the stairs to go to my first class. The classroom that I'm supposed to go in is a Science class [I'm in English 101] so I'm a little confused. It turns out Mr. Fitzgerald [or Jamie] doesn't have a class room. He's also a hippie kinda guy with big lamb-chops. My next class is upstairs and it's Spanish 122. I've only taken Spanish 1 so.... yeah. She was talking half in English and half in Spanish and it was really confusing. So after that, I drove home.

My Ipod...

So a few weeks ago my Ipod Nano went through the washing machine cause I left it in the pocket of my pants. After that it wasn't working, obviously. So I figured I'd just let it dry out and see if it still worked. It didn't and it made me rly angry. So today I decided to just plug it in one last time to see if maybe, by some miracle, it would work after all this time. So I plug it in and Itunes opens and says there's an Ipod detected but it's in recovery mode. So it totally resets my Ipod and starts putting my songs on it while my jaw is down by my toes. So finally I realize that it's finally working!!! Holy cow! But than I let it charge for a few minutes and unplug it and it turns out that the back light doesn't work anymore. So I can't watch videos or listen to music in the dark. I wonder if the warranty covers washing machines.

Awsome pictures...

So I was looking through all my pictures and I found some pretty freaking awesome ones.



This is a picture of some really fat people that were sitting in chairs as Nicolas's baseball game.



I think you all know who this is. Also at Nicolas's baseball game.






This is from the same day as my picture with Mr. Turbin. I was trying to take a picture of the black man, but I also got that rly cute dude in the background on accident. Oh and here's one of a fat lady with a wedgie.










And Hannah was pointing at a really tall black guy with crazy hair. So we've had a lot of fun looking at wierd people and acquiring members to our teams.

School... Is wierd...

I go to school for two periods a day. First I have Mrs. Wipkey for U.S. History. She's nice and funny and a pretty good teacher. Than I come home. I sit around and do nothing. I can't even play X-Box cause it's a "school day." After a wonderful day of sitting around doing nothing, I go back to school for 6th period. This is band class. We're supposed to be doing a half time show on friday of this week and we haven't even set foot on the field. Would it be wierd to say that I would rather go to school full time? Cause I wouldn't.

By the way, that picture is of me and a guy in a turbin. How cool is that?!

School...

So I don't have much to blog about other than school starts next tuesday. Well kinda. Seminary doesn't start till the week after, and I'm doing Running Start this year. Running Start is when you take collage classes towards a degree when you're still in highschool. That doesn't start untill about a month after normal school. So as far as I know right now, I'll be going to band and math, starting tuesday.

Bryon

I don't think that I've posted about Bryon [what a cutie!]. Well for those of you who have met him, you know that there's not much to say. He came up for the summer and had a homosexual looking hair cut called a Fauxhawk. Yes it is as gay as it sounds. Apparently all the "soccer-players" have it. He doesn't have it in the picture [darn]. He also doesn't have his amazing facial hair that looks like he stuck his chin in gravy [double darn]. BUT he actually didn't act as dumb this summer as he has in years past. It really wasn't that bad having him here. But apparently he isn't coming back [ever, I suppose] and he's flying back today to live in Utah with his grandma.

Dance Festival...

So several months ago we started practices for this Dance Festival and it really sucked. We had to do it instead of mutual and they were really boring and stupid and nobody wanted to go to them. So after I came to Utah for that week I hadn't gone to any of the practices. I figured that not knowing the dances would get me out of going. It didn't. But it wasn't that bad.

We got kinda ripped off though because the Dance Festival was combined with Youth Conference so only like half of the first day was actually speakers and stuff like that. The rest of the day and the two other days were just dance, dance, dance.

There were people from all over Washington coming to this. There were people from Olympia and Elma and everywhere. Every Stake had to pay a crap load of money just to do it. There were over two thousand people there. So every Stake had a designated color of shirt. Graham [that would be my group] had purple. Of all colors.

We were meeting at the giant boob... I mean the Tacoma Dome. It is in Tacoma. It's like the Ghetto. My Priesthood leader dude is an undercover cop and he makes drug deals there all the time. It's really a great place.

So because of the wonderful area we aren't allowed to even go to the bathroom without our chaperone and our whole group waiting outside of it.

But it turned out that i did know the dances and had fun doing them in front of hundreds of people.

My Weekend...

I forgot to tell you guys. I'm doing youth conference/dance festival this weekend. It started thursday and todays the last day. I'll tell you more when i have a chance.

Wisdom Teeth 3...

So having my teeth out isn't that bad... I got home and had to have big gauze pads shoved back to cover the incisions and they got soaked with blood pretty fast... Than I had to take a Vicadin and two ibuprofen for the pain and to reduce swelling.... All I could eat was pudding and chicken broth and milk and stuff that requires no chewing.... so than when it got later I had to take these freaking huge horse-pill looking antibiotics... I'm not good at taking pills so I tried several times to get it down but couldn't... It's a big, long green pill that's covered in some "easy to swallow" casing that's supposed to make it easy to swallow.... so that was melting.... so I had to rip it in half and put it in the monster glass of water I had to drink with it... the first few gulps weren't that bad but after that.... well it was, by far, the worst thing I have ever tasted... and the taste just stayed on your tongue and in your saliva for hours... so this morning I just took it whole [hahahahah.] So when I went to bed last night my mom said that if my mouth hurt than to come to her room and she would give me more drugs.... It didn't start hurting until i got up this morning... it feels really wierd and I'm worried about pulling the clots out... which would be bad....

Wisdom Teeth Cont.

So i just got my wisdom teeth pulled and now i'm sitting on my bed. My face is numb and i'm not too loopy anymore. Oh and grandma and grandpa are here now.

Wisdom teeth...

I'm having my wisdom teeth pulled today at 2:00. I'm not excited. It didn't sound too bad until I had the brilliant idea to look it up on wikipedia. Now I'm not so excited. It sounds disgusting. I have problems with regular dentist work. Just the guy sticking his surgical instruments all the way in the back of my mouth makes me want to vomit... not to mention he's pulling out my teeth. But they're impacted and so I guess it needs to be done... Not that that fact makes me feel better about having it done....

I can't think of a title...

I've been back from Utah for a week or two. Or something like that... I'm not really sure... So I filled out that job application for safeway a while ago, right? Well I filled one out for Baskin-Robbins as well, cause that sounds much funner than bagging groceries... So I call the store to see if the manager has had time to go over my application [that whole "squeaky weel gets the oil" theory] and he said he hadn't but he wanted to see me. The manager is a guy from Japan I think and he is very hard to understand. So anyways I went to the place the yesterday at four and went in the back and he was eating his lunch. So I stood there for a couple seconds while he slurped down the rest of it and than he asked me what my name was... I told him and he said "Oh, so you're the Kenji." Well yes, as a matter of fact, I am the Kenji. Than he started looking through his horribly unorganised desk for my application... And he couldn't find it... Like are you serious? How did he swing that? So he had me write down my name and my phone number and my cell phone number, he said he would find my application and call me than I left...

So today I had nothing better to do than go to work at Boilermasters inc. with my dad... but it's not like one of those "come see what daddy does at work day" things... no, not at all... I get paid $8 an hour and I sweep and cut pipes and smash stuff... It's not too bad...... And he just handed me $52 dollars in cash... That's a pretty good deal. So now I'm in his office, on his computer blogging. And the letters are huge. Like an inch tall... um... I think I might have a seizure... But it was a pretty good day... I didn't have a reaction to the orange hand soap and i didn't fall on my butt jumping on big fat heating vent pipes...

Utah still.....

I've not much to say about Utah today, other than why is it so hot?!?!?! I'm from Washington. I wear shorts when it's 60 degrees. Pump it up 25 more degrees and what am I left with???

Utah...

So we [Andrew y yo] came down to Utah for 10 days to go to our gpadre Johansen's funeral. The plane ride was rather uneventful but Andrew covored his eyes during take-off and that was rly funny. Gma didn't tell us any stories about planes crashing so I was happy [and supprised]. When we landed Gpa picked us at el aeropuerto and drove us to their house. We went to the funeral today. It was kinda boring but, it was a funeral, so what ever. Than we went to the burial and there were two navy guys and they did this thing where they moved rly jerkily and folded the flag. Than we came to Thomas's house and I changed into my awesome green shorts and "nostankyou" shirt and we went to Anoel's house. Their house is freaken huge. Idk what her husband does for a living but I think I want his job. The house is 3 stories, has a little midget playroom for their kids, a movie theatre [with couches] and even drinking fountains. Holy crap. Than we came back here and I had nothing better to do so I figured I'd tell you people about my day[s].

Baby pictures...

These were requested.

Safeway...

So I applied for a job today at the safeway in the middle of town. This may seem silly but I'm getting a job so I can pay for car insurance/gas so I can drive to my job...... anyway I went to the store first and the lady there told me to go home and go on the internet, go to safeway.com and apply there. So i go and they ask me all these silly questions.

Are you at least 21? no
Are you at least 19? no
Are you at least 18? no
Are you at least 17? no
Are you at least 16? yes
Are you of hispanic/latino decent? no [why do they even ask that if they say they won't base it on your race?]
What are your skills? ......................... my skills? um..... my skills.... skills....... NEXT!!!

So i did that and than they said thet'd contact me for an interview. I'm excited..... NOT!!

So.........

Mikayla came home today... so if anyone wants to come see her now is the time. Oh... wait......

:]

Free T-Shirt!!!!

So I saw one of those 'don't smoke' commercials and figured i'd go on and get a free t-shirt. It turns out that I have to get three points than i get a shirt. So I figured the easiest way to do that would be to tell you all to get a free tee at NoStankYou.com. Because if you sign up than i get a point. So... I only need three more.....

Red Carpet Romance

So last saturday [May 10th] we went to prom. The theme was "Red Carpet Romance" what ever that means. We had to ride with my girlfriends sister [Kenna] and her boyfriend[Lane (yay... NOT!!!)]. He's rly dumb and very cocky. So we rode with them in the back of her truck to 'The Keg.' For those of you who don't know this is a upper-level-fancy resturaunt with really....... bad... waitresses. So once we got there we met up with Faith and Tweet, Kayla and [idk], and Audrey and [idk]. So I ordered a rly small steak for like $15 and a chicken ceaser salad for like 15$ after the waitress refused to go to the other end of the table first. After we got our food the waitress gave us our knives and I whispered to Hannah something along the lines of "What if I just took this and stabbed her." But that was probably a bad idea cause I think she might have been leaning over my shoulder passing out more knives. When we were almost all done eating, Tweet decided that it would be cool to squeeze the blood out of his steak and drink it with his straw. At least he was at the other end of the table. Hahaha so the waitress came to the table with our checks. I put some amount of money in that I figured was correct and she took it back. She returned about ten minutes later and informed me [rather rudely] that I was under by five dollars and that they had a 'gratuity.' So I threw on ten bucks and she took it and we left.

We went back to Kenna's truck and drove to prom. On the way there we got Kenna to race with [idk #2]. Hahahah we totally destroyed them even in our truck. Hahaha just kidding mom. We didn't rly race. So we got to prom and went in and got our picture taken and went in and saw lots of skankie dresses and stuff. Hahaha and the music was this rly loud bassie, rap music. Oh and nasty country. We do live in Orting remember.

So most of the dresses on the girls were too short and looked like night gowns... wierd stuff. Oh and Hannah's shoes were too small and squished her feet so she was even shorter cause she took them off. So we danced around and laughed at all the crazy people from our school.

Um... that's pretty much all that happened. Oh yeah. At eleven the dance ended and we went back to the truck and rode home [I was half asleep] and I got dropped off at my house. Than I went to bed..... So it was fun.

Cell Phone...

So on my cellphone, having nextel, I can dial *4 and get a summery of all the stuff i've used so far this month. So I called this thing just now and this is what it said. Beep[star] Beep[four] Beep[little green phone button] "Minutes used. This estimate may not include calls made in the last twenty-four hours. You have used 73 cellular anytime minutes, you have used 189 night and weekend minutes, you have used 17 direct connect minutes, you have used 6692 text messages. Your bill cycle is april 19th to may 18th.... [blah blah unlimited texting etc]... to repeat this information press 1. To end this call hang up." First of all does it really need to tell someone to hang up to end the call??? Really? Second of all my parents say I text too much. I'll probably use 300 text messsages in the next three days so we'll say I used 7000 text messages in one month. What would you say? I'll make my points.

1. When you text someone you use a lot of messages. "Hey." "Hey, what's up" "Not much. You?" etc.
2. I would much rather text someone than call them. Talking on the phone is awkward.
3. I text my Hannah all the time.
4. When you text it counts every message you send as one. It also counts every message you recieve as one. So I only sent 3500 messages. That makes for about 105ish out-going texts a day. Well maybe 140ish because I can't text on sundays.
5. I have unlimited text messaging.
6. O_o I guess there's only five points.


So what do you think about this? Is 7000 text messages in one month too much?

Dentist...

So you guys remember that dentist who's name i couldn't remember? Yeah, he's an arabic dude and his name is Ebrahim Mirjalili. Say that 5 times fast.

Hey family. Isn't it about..... time

Wow... I haven't done this in almost a month... And I'm not sure what to write about... um... well over the past month i've gone to work to pay for prom and marched in the "Daffodil Parade."
So I went to work a few weeks ago to pay for prom. I had an allergic reaction to the orange in the hand soap. It was the good soap too. It had little pieces of pummice or something in it so it actually cleaned your hands. But it made my fingers swell up like sausages... anyways I made $256 and I don't think it'll be enough. We went to the Mens Warehouse and looked through their book. Picked a jacket, shirt, vest, tie and these cool little silver knobie things. That cost over a hundred dollars by itself. I still have to buy tickets [$45] and some flower thing [$?] and my mom says I might have to go work another day. That would suck. But they do have normal soap now...
I also marched in the Daffodil Parade. That was super lame... It's not like any normal parade. No. We march in four citys. Tacoma, Puyallup [P.U. all up] Sumner and of course, dear little Orting. It's horrible. It takes all day and we march like 7 miles in all. And as we all know from a previous post I play the quads.... I swear those dang things weigh as much as me.
Oh yeah. I forgot. My birthday. Well it was pretty fun. My friends came over and played Xbox and than we went to lazer tag. It was pretty fun. We all teamed up but I got 6th place [out of 26] because I.... shot my friends a lot. So that was pretty fun. I got an Ipod Nano and an xbox game [beautiful katamari] and a bunch of money. Oh, great idea. I could just pay with prom with that. Thanks you guys. You're great.

Dentist

I went to the dentist to have one of my teeth fixed today. Now this was number 31 which is one of the bad ones because the dentist has to stick his fingers down your throat to get to it. So i bugged my mommy until she said she would ask them if i could get laughing gas. They said i could and gave her a form to fill out. She filled out and they took me back. My dentist is some guy from the middle east and i can't pronounce his name but he wasn't working on me today. They had some student there from some random university to work on my tooth. Great for me. So i go in and she puts the gas thing on my face and i start feeling woozy. She than proceeds to stab me in the gums so i don't feel the procedure. That didn't work. I felt everything. I felt them drilling in my teeth, i felt the cold water on my nerves, and I felt the clamps on my tooth. It was horrible! But the worst part was that i was too out of it to raise my hand or even gargle to tell them it hurt. All i could do was lay there and think, "Ow, that hurts pretty bad... oh look at that... hahaha i feel my hands... i have hands... ouch." So i've had a wonderful day. I got stoned, gagged and tortured. And now my tooth hurts...

Wow...

Girlfriend

Over the past few weeks I seem to have picked up a girlfriend. I've known her since I moved here in seventh grade but we were just friends up untill recently [not close great friends just friends].

So I noticed her starting at me about three weeks ago. Every time I looked in her direction she was staring right at me... she still denies it but I know what I saw. I was starting to catch on when she invited me to go to the zoo with her and all her friends [surprising when we aren't close friends] but I had an allergy shot just like every Saturday just like every week so I had to say I couldn't go. She then called me on Saturday afternoon and asked if I could go bowling with her and her sister on Sunday. Well it was Sunday so I couldn't go.

Her brothers friend who she [apparently] tells every thing came up to me on Monday and asked me if I was avoiding her. I of course told him that I wasn't and he told me that she liked me. I of course already knew that but acted surprised anyways.

Later that week my friend asked me if I wanted to come to lunch with him after school. So I went and lo and behold she was there too. So we went and ate and started hanging out at school and stuff.

So now I have a girlfriend [picture on the right] and am going to prom this year. So on that note... Peace out!

Sorry guys...

Hey. I suppose that it's finally time for a new post after three weeks but I don't really have anything to post about. Hmm... I'll try to think of something. If you have any ideas...

Katamari

Playing tests

So I am in the drum section for my high school I play the quad drums in the marching band. My teacher says that I am really good. Anyways at the beginning of the year my class had a "playing test" where we get a sheet of music and than played it some time during the next week. After that test I was technically deemed third chair but was really fourth (there were two first chairs). This being a new semester and all we had another playing test for chairs (on the snare drum). We got it last Monday and we played it today. I thought I did really bad because I went second to last and it didn't sound very much like anyone else (including B-rad [first chair] and Chuck [same]) so I was really worried. After we are all done Mrs. Stallman said "Kenji, you got all the rhythms perfect and if you would have done all the dynamics (loud, soft) better than you would have gotten 100. Everyone else had some tempo problems and the same problems with dynamics..." She than went on to talk about the trumpets and blah blah blah. So I go up to her after class and she said that I got a 96 out of 100. Chuck got a 94 and I don't know about everyone else but she said I am first chair!!! She is giving people a chance to try again and do better so I hope Tamine (previously "second" chair) doesn't do better than me on her second try, because I think she was the best out of everyone else anyway...

Chandler Mackenzie?

I'm sure that some of you have been wondering why I go by this name. Well last year there was this kid named Dallis(sp*) and he was... well he was dumb as a rock. He couldn't remember my name even though it was on the board and people were yelling it to him but he just had to call on me. One day he called me Chandler. Really close, I know. He started getting better and called me Mckenzie the very next day. So that is the origination of "Chandler Mackenzie."

Class of 2010

My World History teacher, Mr. Miller, introduced this idea to us today. He wants us all (class of 2010 ) to shave our heads. This all started as a joke about global warming (we do that a lot). He just wanted us to shave our heads but knowing Miller it had to go farther than that.

At Orting High the seniors go on a trip every year to someplace or another. They have been known to raise lots of money and go on a cruise to the carribean or something like that. But it has been getting really lame as of late. This year they want to go to wildwaves. For those of you who don't know what that is it is kind of like Cherry Hill. Last year they went all out and went paintballing. Wow. Miller is kind of like the class of 2010 in charge guy and he wants us to do something really cool like spend a week in Paris. So he came up with this idea.

In the spirit of making us all bald he thinks we could make lots and lots of money for making us all bald. His idea is as follows.

1. Send letters talking about how our class wants to make a statement and that we are raising money to go to the moon or whatever to huge compinies like Coca-Cola and hope that they will sponsor us.

2. Make t-shirts with our sponsors logoon the back, a bald person with a globe painted on their head and some saying about we care more about our planet than our hair or something like that (If you have any ideas for it)on the front.

3. Make a huge statement by shaving the heads of [most] every sophomore in our school.

4. Make trips to hosptals and visit bald kimo kids and giving them wigs made of the hair.

Of course it would be more detailed than that and I'm sure that the news would be involved at least state wide and maybe we could even get on Opera.

Almost every Sophomore was talking about this today. A lot of the girls are saying that they wouldn't want to shave their hair, but they didn't hear it from Miller himself. I talked to him after class and he said that he would talk to our principal the Anti-Christ and see if we could have a class meeting tomorrow so he can have a chance to explain it to everybody. I personally think it would be a great idea.
