Ugh, I'm so mad you guys are so lucky! The storm totally skipped Winnipeg, going just north of us. Brandon (a city a few hours drive away) got a foot of snow! I want snow so badly right now, it's so much fun to have snowball fights and build forts with. Canada <3 (<-- Got kinda random there)
|
*pounds fist on desk* Why can't I ever have snow!? WHY DOES SOCAL HAVE TO BE SO FREAKING WARM!? *flails arms wildly and falls on floor*
I haven't experienced snow since I went to Japan on winter vacation nearly 6 years ago...and I got sick so I couldn't really enjoy it much... *sob*

My brother's school just had a power outage because of a recent winter storm (that's Minnesota for ya'), and the only thing was....my school lasted through the harsh storm and I had to go to school while my brother had no school....which sucks...

Your clocks run off mains power? Don't they run off a single AA battery (Which can last for, like, several months)?
On a different note, the builders that have been working on my garage for the past couple of week are finished. It's been converted into an ordinary room, wood flooring, mood lighting (=D), windows, everything! It's got this awesome echo effect in it, too. We're planning on moving all our games consoles into there, and then hooking them up to our TV (We're hoping to get a decent projector in there, but we don't have the money at the moment), and then hooking that up to a pair of huge speakers that we've found while searching our attic. We'll do that when our two bean bags (YEY) and our Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter comes. It's gonna be awesome!
Change of plans: instead of watching "Hot Tub Time Machine" today, we're going to watch "The Social Network". I hope it's as good as its score on Metacritic.

*Jumps around* I'm so excited for that movie! It's going to be amazing. because even the commercials for it are amazing! I'm probably going for the midnight release, even though it's a school day. Now to see if my mom will drive me to the theater at 9:30PM the day before...

My sister is absolutely obssessed with the Harry Potter series. Watches the movies every year, re-reads the books all the time, etc.
I liked the Harry Potter series, but my sister is an all-out fan, crying when
Do not open if you haven't read the entire series
Sirius dies (he was her favorite character) and *giggle* when Hedwig died. She even once gave me a whole long description of why she's so excited. I stood there and took it, even occasionally asking questions about the series. She answered them all. o.o |

We just added walls into our garage, since it wasn't fully finished. I remember while putting a piece of drywall on the ceiling to complete the building. My mom complained it was off center, grabbed a stick and started hitting it while it was still going up, It fell right on top of me and the ladder. It caused the ladder to pin me to the ground. At least it didn't weigh so much.
Yes I have. I honestly hate it; I couldn't find out how to change my nickname (Other than changing my whole Hotmail name from James Hardy to James Ningamer or something), the window's huge and it shows you lots of unnecessary stuff. Oh, and you can't uninstall it, either. Stay with the old one, trust me.

Here in Dubai, it will be out on the 18th of November. I will watch it on that exact day.

Why astronauts can't find Uranus? It's because it got lost in the black hole.
Halloween party at school today~! Everyone's dressed up as some wacky things. I started out as Luigi in the morning, then I put on my beanie and my neon yellow shirt and now I'm a highlighter. I'm totally freaked out, I have a French test on 20 different sayings I have to memorize, if I get one wrong I'll be so sad. Wish me luck~! And I'll tell you the weirdest costume here after school.

Someone told a funny (but a nasty joke) in Chemistry. The teacher mention how Uranus relates to one of the elements and most people know another meaning of Uranus but then someone said
Not suitable for younger ages, open at your own risk
Why astronauts can't find Uranus? It's because it got lost in the black hole. The whole class laughs at the joke and I was laughing really hard but it's still a really dirty joke. |
|
Haha. The joke is really funny, but did the teacher understand the 'hidden meaning' behind it? xD

I just watched Ju-On (/The Grudge) 2 at my firiends house. Now I cant sleep...
|
|
you just got heart gold and soul silver right after black and white came out?! or did you just get hg/ss for the mew event?
|
|
true but that is still just barely enough time to get five stars on your trainer card(s)

Happy Halloween to you, too!
Despite the fact that we don't even celebrate Halloween, we still got a pumpkin. 'Cause there was only one, we carved two faces into it:
Mine
My brother's

I finally got a picture of my pumpkin and it looks bad now. >_<
Anyways here it is.

Don't leave it logged in to anything important then, Fubbles. That could get bad.
Whenever I walk away for a few seconds I make sure to lock my computer because I always leave everything logged in. |
I have to bring my laptop, which so happens to be filled with Pokemon Anime episodes, Pokemon Drawings, and Soundtrack Remixes to school tomorrow, and only one person I know of approves of Pokemon.. Great..
Also, Bulbapedia, Floatzel.net, Smogon and Victory Road is on my bookmarks list..
Oh well.
I have set up my computer settings so that it locks after 5 minutes of me leaving it. I like to keep the privacy to myself, and I hate it when annoying people interfere with my folders and browse through everything on my computer without permission.

Today's been real tough on me today...I had a test in all of my classes today (the Math test I think I bombed, it was so hard), left my locker key in my English teacher's room, and I feel like my brain feels like it's about to explode. *collapses to exhaustion*
On topic, I don't have friends over. About once every quarter year I see them. That's how anti-social I am. Thus, my anti-sociality makes VR unkown to everybody, except for my friend who comes to VR occasionally.

I don't have friends over at all. I never had one over for my birthday or just to hang out. o_O
I just feel uncomfortable because none of them know I like Pokemon and I have a bunch of Pokemon stuff all over my room. So I'm really uncomfortable with friends coming over... |

I really dislike those kinds of people, even if they are your friends. People have spread embarassing stuff about me too (except they weren't my friends and they weren't actually true) and now people think that I'm even stranger than they originally thought. It just repulses me that people would do such annoying things. Kind of ruins the view of decent humanity. :/

I hate people who are really shallow and judge people by their looks and what type of person they are from the surface. Why can't people take the time to know someone? It made me really mad when people pick on someone because they don't fit in "the normal people" or because they are different. I get picked from time to time but I keep thinking to myself that these people are wasting their time trying to be popular and to follow the crowd. What's in always keep changing and copying other people will lose your identify that made you unique.

Seems like I'm much more social in real life than what I thought compared to all of you; thankfully, I'm very well-known in school for many reasons, and I have a fairly big group of friends who I talk and laugh with during classes/breaks. I always try my best to maintain my reputation in school as a hard-working, dedicated student despite a few students saying I am a nerd, which I'm not fond of. I still 'chill around' and do little mischievous stuff from time to time with my friends to prove these people wrong, and now I'm finally looked upon as a 'cool' and popular student.
Now, this is not to brag about myself or how I rank in school. It's just to show that no matter how difficult life in school can be for you, it will start changing sooner or later to the best. Looking back at when I first joined my school in 2008 (and being treated as a stranger and a nerd), I can confidentially say that the change happened to me.

You, Kirby, pretty much paraphrased my life story. I'm always getting picked on by the populars. People look at me and say: "Oh, it's that smart guy" or "Oh, he's really...weird." The first quote may seem like a compliment, but people say it disgustingly. People hate me for it. My own friend has said, "If you get an A on this test, I'm going to be so repulsed at you." It was a particularly hard test...but to be repulsed? Sometimes I question if my friends are better off without me. I sometimes wonder if I actually bring them more suffering than I do joy.
I tried not to take much offense from them...but I always end up getting upset in the end. I had an appointment with my counselor set up by my parents to get me settled into high school. And yet again I've heard the obvious truth... "As you get into high school, you're going to have to be more social." and the counterargument, "He's always been very immature. His maturity gain has been extremely slow; his maturity is about the same as it was 3 years ago." And it's the truth. I've always been very immature. Thus, I lack the social skills of people my age. Even if I am younger than most people in my grade. Need proof? I get nervous when I try to call someone I've never called before, I get nervous when I don't know which door is the one I'm supposed to go through, and sometimes I question everything I say, considering if it's the truth. Heck, I get nervous talking to someone, making sure I don't say anything. And why? I've seen the populars. I've seen how happy they are. I've seen what makes them happy. What is that? The humility of other people. And that's a pathway I can't go down, no matter what way I think. But am I doomed to forever remain a solitary person just because the popular road is the road leading to what I feel is despair. Reminds me of a poem... The Road Not Taken always pops up in times like this. Phew...that was a long rant. I probably shouldnt've typed so much, but I often lose track of how much I write. |
Going back to that "school rank" topic for a bit, I happen to be considered as one of those really popular girls that not many people like, but I'm one of them everyone loves because I'm quite the nerd yet all of my friends are in that "popular" group. There's the smart girl, the pretty girl, the atheletic girl and so on and they see me as the atheletic girl and almost the smart one. Overall, that means that I fit perfectly into almost every school group and hold a very good reputation as being "That sprinter" and "The girl who gets in the 90s on her tests all the time". I really don't mind that.
Back to the current topic, I've actaully been getting a lot more work because the teachers need more proof of our grades. Today I got my social studies test back and my score wasn't in the 90s D:... I got 100%~! Sadly, my GPA so far in social studies is only 87.2. Ew.

I have had increased school work this week although it is only reviews. Lots of tests coming up, but when I start taking those (there are 2 tomorrow) my rate of homework will dramatically decrease.
Dramatically Decrease... Sounds like a cool band name.
Maybe if you were a positive person, Dramatically Increase. o3o But now I just made it sexual.
You all probably think I am on something. Mixture of candy and chocolate milk I suppose.
Also, it is 60 degrees with no sun outside. Epic freaking win.

Those ones bug me a lot. they mock the fact I don't have a girlfriend, an saying I'm such a nobody since no one talks to me.
All I say is, "Then why are YOU talking to me?!" They just call me stupid after that, but meh. On topic, school work has picked up. Maybe it's because we're getting Thursday and Friday off next week for a Remembrance Long Weekend I call it. Since it is Remembrance Day on the 11th Next Week.(Veterans Day I think it's called in the U.S) |

Strange how you guys get remembrence day since I don't think you had any effect on World War I.
I don't really like days off though, I usually just spend the entire day alone being bored. |

I know nothing about American government and if it wasn't for the media I wouldn't know who the President was ATM. As far as their geography, I couldn't name 1/4 of their states. Too many I say!
