asdfghjkl I have to go to registration on Thursday for my high school, and I don't wanna go. And then school starts on the 28th for me and I still stay up until 3 AM every night. But at least I'm waking up at 9 AM now, and not 3 in the afternoon. .-.

I just hope school keeps me occupied. Summer is boring now.

I completely agree with you on that. My summer was uneventful at most times, even though I loved the freedom. I get more spice when I'm in school. Plus I get to show off to people, and I LOVE showing off.

Good news to those who care to read! My family is finally getting a PUPPY! I'm thrilled, because we get to go pick from the litter on the 26th. They're pure bred German shepherd pups, so they're gorgeous and adorable. We went to go check them out yesterday, and they're the most playful little things I've ever met. Just imagine 10 tiny German shepherd puppies all trying to play with you at once. That was me yesterday. I'll post a few pictures later, especially after we get it! (It'll be a "her" though, because we've already put a deposit on a girl.) My favourite puppy was the runt, because she has beautiful light eyes and her ears stand up with a little crook already!

My friend wants to go to PAX East for Spring Break. Only problem is I don't have a job, so no money, I don't have a car, nor do I have my license, and I have no idea when, where, and how much PAX East is going to be.

I finally got around to getting a haircut that was supposed to happen 3 months ago. It was funny because right after a massive amount of rain and wind came from nowhere and the storm lasted a whole 20 minutes and went away. All I was thinking is that pocket must be such a mess and everything else around it must be calm. It's those pockets that always screw me up.

I would go to PAX East, but everything Quad just said applies to me, too. Except that I know it is during summer break and too expensive for me. Instead I'll probably settle for 1 or 2 days of MAGfest here in Maryland because, well, it's in Maryland.

I can stop watching it myself. I'm hoping so hard that she's the one Harry will pick to take home. But she might be gone by the time we get there, because 3 families get to pick before us.

I know, I'll be sad when she gets bigger, but I'll still love her because I have a bunch of tricks and things I plan to teach her for fun. And I have an idea that I'll post a video here of the puppy meeting my cat. Maybe. If the cat behaves. Oh, and every week for a few months I'll take a picture of her to see how she grows!

No. but I did have to lift my foot up super high to get them off so I could move around without stepping on them. And repeat.

Edit: Added a video of the whole litter complaining and crying that we're leaving.

Dang, that brings me back to the times when I wished we had gotten a dog since we had a cat already. Then again, for some reason, every dog hates me. I've yet to see one that actually didn't bark me away.

So this week has been up and down.
My phone no longer makes/receives calls, nor will it sync with my computer. Plus some other wacky stuff causing stuff not to work.

On a plus side, I finally figured out solutions to problems I had a year ago!
Overall, I still achieved nothing.
Aw well, I still got next week.

I had Band last year, but I never really liked it. Sure, I love music, but I'm just not dedicated to learn to play it.

And today was the first day out of the summer that I actually woke up early. It was kind of early though, probably around 7 AM. But it was nice getting up early. I took a walk to the store, got a haircut, and then came back, and it was really cool. Plus everyone in my house was asleep, so it was quiet.

I gotta get up early more often now...

Yeah, I liked getting up early before, then I had more time to do things throughout the day... Which was nice. I remember waking up at 5AM and then after what seemed like 12 hours later, it was only 10AM. And 10 is basically the earliest that I get up on my own during the summer.
Huh, so I watched a video on how to do basic recolours, and I think I'm addicted to recolouring. It's so much fun! But I'm only doing it for fun. I don't really have the urge to join the class at the moment.

Yeah, it feels like hours have passed since I first woke up, but it's only 10 AM. o:

Recolouring is pretty fun and simple to do once you get into it. I actually struggled on that a lot when I first started spriting, you just gotta find a "touch" I guess.
But yeah, spritings fun. I wish I still did it, but it's been months since I last sprited, and I probably forgot everything, but I probably didn't, who knows.

TNT and picks 'n' things, right? I went to Mt. Rushmore when I was about 3 or so, so I really don't remember too much, which is pretty sad. I'd like to go down there and visit it once again. :3
In other news, we're counting down the days until we can go pick out our puppy from the litter. Only 5! I can't wait to show you guys the video of her meeting my cat... Once we get her, I won't be able to sleep in anymore because I have to take care of her, which totally isn't a problem!
And one last thing! I received the school bus schedule for this year, and I get picked up right at my cul-de-sac (4 minutes later than last year, and minus the walk, yay!) and then I get dropped off at home a whole whopping half hour earlier than last year, which makes me incredibly happy! I'll get home before my sister, so I get more time with the dog! And to do homework. But mostly play with the dog. And gaming.

You think you had it bad? Let me tell you otherwise.
I mentioned that my phone went FUBAR on me about 3 days ago. So today I went to the Apple store to get it checked. Turns out, I needed a full replacement.
I was okay with paying a bit to have it replaced with a new one.
After I got home, I tried the standard setup, but it would not recognize the SIM card,(The Phone Company card). So I called the phone company and they said I potentially have the wrong model of iPhone, which doesn't support the Phone Company I'm signed with. I go back to the Apple store to see what happened.
Turns out, for some reason, my phone belonged to Company 2, and has always been. Which is odd since I was only with Company 1.(This helps understand a bit.)
I then went to Company 1's store to ask what happened, turns out I was right me being with them, and they got me a copy of the original purchase phone. We took it back to the Apple store, they went to confirm the code. Turns out, they misplaced TWO Letters in the code, and registered me for a Company 2 phone instead of a Company 1. So the problem was fixed... After six hours of running back and forth between the stores..........


Hows that for Steve mocking my very being, eh?

It doesn't make you feel out of date really. It just likes giving you the impression of "Crap, Im outdated! Better upgrade!"

Really, I held on to one of the first iPods for a long time. Mainly because I had no money to buy any new ones. After I saw the constant updating yearly thing, I basically said unless they made it so my phone could no longer call newer phones, I'm not upgrading.

Chances are it's probably the flash memory that failed instead. Modern hardware store data within flash memory that won't lose contents when unplugged or the battery is dead.

I've always wondered why the heck is the iPhone so fragile in the first place, despite the materials used. Too much emphasis on form?

I think it depends on how it hits the floor. While at an amusement park, I've seen someone's iPhone get dropped 10 feet onto concrete after a ride took off and there wasn't a single scratch on it (but the back of the phone and the battery did fall out), but my friends joke about how dropping the iPhone on carpet would shatter the screen.

If you want to go somewhere in the winter for the sake of it being the winter in somewhere much colder than where you live, then the very northeast of the US (right by the Great Lakes) is a better example because there's an overabundance of snow.

I bet Canada has that too, it IS farther north. But with the ever changing weather, there even is snow in California now. So there are many places you can go for snow in the winter.

Michigan didn't get that much snow last winter actually. It was a bit sad not to see large piles of snow everywhere.

When I'm in Canada for extended periods of time, I have a great time and don't want to leave. If I go up for, like, a day trip, I don't leaving (since I live so close to Canada)

Oh God, yes~ That vacation was so necessary. The nice ocean breeze, the feel of the sandy beach on my feet, and all the burned cash on my new best friend, the boardwalk. I got my most favorite flavor of fudge, some real pizza, a Greek Gryo, and scored a couple of snow globes for my collection. I almost don't want to go back to school~

My elementary years were filled with tons of teasing of my name, moving to 2 different houses before settling down in my current. And realizations my fun could be found by looking at a wall.

Ah the odd childhood I had...

Here the system works like
K-6 Elementary
7-8 Middle
9-12 High
Although some Middle Schools have 6th graders in there, too, and I don't really understand how or why, but whatever floats their boat.

Actually my elementary school had a middle school in a separate part of the same building (but only for the regular kids, French Immersion only went up to 6th grade) and anyways, the grade ahead of us is like the guinea pig grade. What I mean by that, is anything new that the school division or the province wants to try out in the curriculum, they get to test it out first. Now that's super fine and dandy, because then my grade gets whatever method works the best (whether it's the old one or the newly introduced one). The biggest change they made was putting the grade 6 kids in with the high school kids and having the exact same set up as the middle school kids. So we had lockers, we had no recess, we had a different teacher for each individual class, we had semesters (though not exactly like high school) and best of all, we got to do woodworking, sewing and cooking. So basically when we went into middle school officially at a different school, we already had a significant head start in those 3 classes. And I mean a massive edge, and they never did manage to keep up... So the teacher could tell which kids came from the school I went to because their marks for those 3 classes were phenomenal.

Hm, that sounds strange. My school right now is like that, we have Middle Schools in the D and E wing of the school, and High Schools in A, B, and C. It is a big school that has kids from a lot of towns, because a HUGE school like that could never just be supported by a little town that it was put in. So I have been in that school for a while. But it seemed, whenever I switched from Middle School to High School that it was a whole new school, because it is so big. The only place that the Middle and High Schoolers have to share is the Commons (or the cafeteria). And unlike the middle schoolers, the High School classes are VERY unorganized. The Middle school has a hallway for everything. They have a Math Hallway, a Physical Hallway, and Science, and a English. That is four hallways of all one class, so if you have a math class next, then you just need to walk over to the Math Hallway and find your class. It makes it REALLY easy. In High School, that isn't the case. They might have Geometry in the C Wing. and then have Algebra 2 in A. Those are all the way across the school, AND you still have to go to your locker and switch out materials. There will be a English CE class right next to the Drives Ed. So, there is a lot of confusion of where classes are and things.

I just told you the layout of my school >>_<<

My school is extremely vast as well, probably larger than your schools. My school has kids from kindergarten up until senior high school, as well as the freshman's course, British A-level. Due to the abundance of the students, the school is divided to several buildings, all next to each other in the same land, but separated by walls and gates.

The largest building is the one for kindergarten. They have their own building with their own gardens and playgrounds. I haven't seen the sections of it though. Next is the elementary building, which is also very huge. It is divided to two big wings. The students there are from Grade 1 till Grade 4 only. Then comes the secondary building, which itself is divided to three vast wings. One is for Grade 5 to Grade 6. The other one is for Grade 7 and 8, and the third is for Grade 9 and above.

Oh, and each building of these has two floors.

My town leaders are just plain stupid.
The old high school had renovations done to make it better. torn down
They moved the old Middle School students into a new building about .1 mile away. People keep saying it's good, but the administration just sucked. still up
They moved the High School students into the old Middle School that's right next to the old High School. being torn down as I type this
Making a new High School over the base of the old one. It was scheduled for completion back in April. STILL NOT DONE
LOGISTICS ARE UNEXISTANT IN THIS MATTER. WHY?!

Oh, I almost forgot. They took down both of the gymnasiums and put in a new one in place of one of them.
They put in bleachers, and they weighed down the floor too much. So, now they're going to take the new field house down too. IT WAS JUST BUILT THIS YEAR! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

An Obsession possibly?

I've spent most the day doing odd jobs around the house. Odd thing is, I only did them cause I was bored...

I had to leave because I had an obsession. I have to force myself to learn what life is like without VR so I can survive school with passing grades. I can't sever myself from this place, it's too haaaaard.

Recently I've finished another remix, and am now picking up my sax once again so I can do Olivine Lighthouse. I hope to be done by Tuesday, because I might just have to finish it off in marching band practice.

You can find them for not too much on Amazon, or at least you used to. I'd recommend trying to find an actual Nintendo brand one if you can, though; the off-brand copies can be pretty crummy sometimes.

Two days ago, I saw someone's iPhone drop to the floor. It's still running when the user picked it up.

Also, yesterday is also the day I dropped my MacBook Air hard to the floor while open and running. It's also still running.

...I think I need to handle my stuff a bit... better. Drops can't be too good on tight components, right?

Now that I'm out of classes, it's now a wait until September 10. That's when the exams start... good thing I've only got two exam days.
