Well, my week has been rather busy...and it just seems to get more horrible everyday, in regards to my slutty friends...but anyways, onto my day...
School was alright, band kinda sucked...we don't seem to be making any progress, which we really need to be making...I really want to get a "1" at states...that'd be really cool...especially if I am going to be getting up at 5...and taking a 2 hour busride...but at least those bus rides will be with Carmen...we really wasted our rehersal last night...*sigh* it's not looking good...
In french, I passed today's quiz and the two I took yesterday...yay...
The art show was alright...it made me feel really low class...I haven't really accomplished anything this year...it made me feel really...below average...I wish my hands would do what my mind thinks, because then, I'd have really sweet pieces of art...not to mention that my two pieces didn't really give credit to what I am able to do...but still, what I am able to do isn't much...
Well, after school I went to orchestra...I'm beginning to like it more and more...it's going to be a pretty good performance...Lord of the Dance sounds liek a bad disco song, and Pirates is pretty cool...come see me preform next Thursday at kobacker...around 8 o'clock or so...
From orch, I went to work...Carmen came to visit me at work, which was great...she's come to visit me quite a bit recently, which is making me very happy...it is nice when friends come to visit you at work...Amanda does visit me also...but that's it...I guess my other friends have stopped caring about me...other than that, it sucked...Kristin is going to be at the orchestra concert next thursday, so she can finally see me play bassoon...
I went to the art show after work, and checked out the art work...had a long conversation wth Ally, something I haven't done in a while...I miss her...haven't had many classes with her in highschool...it kinda sucks...maybe I'll have AP with her next year, or Calculus...
I went and dropped by Carmen's rehersal...they're coming along...after that, I met up with my group and we worked for awhile on our project...actually, like 2 hours of work...then, I stopped by Carmen's and hung out with her for awhile....gave her a back rub....came home, ate dinner, and here we are...

Well, today was pretty busy...and tomorrow isn't looking much better...I'm getting over loaded...*sigh*
After school, Carmen and Doug came over, and we fooled around for awhile...that was fun...and then my day went downhill...majorly...I went to work for 2 hours, and then I went the PSEOP orientaion...biggest waste of my time...and (mostly) everybody's parents came along...mine didn't...yeah...after the orientation, I went to band, for about an hour and a half...yeah, that was a hoot...not at all...Mr. Headley was in a pissy mood, and we didn't get much accomplished...states aren't looking so good...after band, I went by Carmen's and sat with her for awhile...got plenty of hugs from her, and then returned home for dinner...grilled cheese...yum...

Well, Saturday night was great fun...Amanda looked great, indeed her dress was perfect, and she definetly an extremely fun date to take to a dance...I got to dance with almost everybody I wanted to (except Laura, as I couldn't find her); Amanda, Carmen (who looked very pretty, by the way), Britt, Megan, and Lauren Clark...also (kinda) danced with Mrs. Anthony and G-Dawg...next time, I will need to get inserts for my shoes, so they do not kill my feet...or rip up my ankle...I snatched a fiber-obtic dealy-thing for my house! woo!
After-Prom was fun also...swam with Carmen and Esther, and sat the in the hot tub with them and some others...got a t-shirt, and watched the rigged raffle...hehe, silly rigged raffle...
Went to Carmen's after After-Prom...and I am glad that I did (even more so, strengthened more about 20 minutes ago)...since there were way too many people in the family/T.V. room, Carmen, Joshie, Kat, and I slept in the living room...we talked about random things (mainly His Holiness, the Owl God) and made fun of Josh's hyper-activity...fell asleep around 6...that was about 22 hours for me...so close to 24...hehe...
After I left Carmen's (around 1 o'clock), I took my tux back, and got some breadsticks at Luca's...I came home, relaxed, and then went back out...Carmen and I went to go fill out my time card...I came home, was extremely awesome at GunBound, and then went to look at pictures at Carmen's...eventually went home for dinner, and then back to Carmen's, then to Bassoon lessons...All-State is looking Achievable this year...Yay!
Today was pretty much blah...felt like shit...work was shit...hung out with Carmen afterward...picked up a Cars cd later on, and then came home...yeup...

Well, I started to update last night, but shut down before I finished (because I forgot)...
(Wednesday) School had gotten better, as people returned to their normal moods...which is a good thing, because it is best not to dwell on such an event...in french, we started the verb tests...I didnt pass the first one, because I screwed up the imperitive form of donner...the rest of school was alright...Carmen, Kat, and Natalie (I believe) had visiting Ukrainian girls with them...I hope they got a good impression of our school, not a sterotypical one...
After school, I had cake, and then went home...I went to work at normal time...both Carmen and Amanda came to visit me, which was nice...Kristin made sure Amanda was fit for me to take to prom...I guess she passed the inspection...
After work, I came home, ate dinner, and then went to get my tux...I also got sandels while I was there...on the way home, my dad and I stopped by the Pharm to look for arch supports for my dress shoes...couldn't find them due to my feet being so damn large...I went over to Carmen's for awhile, but she wanted to spend time with Darya, so I left and was home before curfew...I played some GB, and then went to bed, talking to Carmen along the way...
Today was alright also...not too much happened...started making our balloons in chem...I'll be alone tomorrow because Ian is leaving to go visit Miami...slept through most of AS today...yeah...right after school, I had orchestra, which lasted until 3:45...I ran home to pick up my phone, and then went to work...had about an hour long meeting with Mrs. East...then I went and worked...because I had nothing to look forward to at home (except a lonesome dinner) I stuck around until 7:30...on the way home, I passed by the funeral home, definitely a sad sight...people were lined out the door and halfway down the block, cars lining wooster street and filling the old subway station...people were walking away from the funeral home in tears...
...Yeah...
At home, I ate dinner with the company of my GBA and Samus, my bitch...kicked some space pirate ass, we did...and that was about the rest of my night...I also practiced bassoon, and ended up very, very angry with it...yeah...

:: Mood: contemplative
Today was a hard day...not so much for me, but for a lot of people...someone dear to them took his own life in a furious passion (I'm assuming)...hanging himself only to let the first eyes laid upon him be his mother's...I cannot imagine what went through her head as she entered the garage and saw what she saw...I wouldn't want to imagine...no parent should have to deal with that...it is every parent's wish to outlive their offspring, their wish for them to have a better life than they could have possibly lived...unfortunately, his parents will have to bury their son, who wasted his life...
Working for 3 hours in solitude, and being in school, I've had time to contemplate today's happenings...
Not only did he waste his life, he hurt everyone who cared about him...he acted quite selfishly, taking a life from this world, from his friends, from his family, and himself...the school today was filled with sadness, tears, anger, grief, despair, and 1 million other feelings...many of his friends spent their day in the office, annex, band room, or wherever seeking counsel...they were confused as hell...they needed help...he caused his friends so much pain, selfishly...
What would cause somebody to go to such extreme measures? Was it his baseball suspension, relationship trouble, trouble at home, trouble at school, or a combination of these? What was his reasoning for ending his life? Whatever it may be, it wouldn't matter, there is no justifying such an act...it was a poor decision, a permanent and final solution to a temperary problem...
I had met Derek...I played on his baseball team one year, and against him many times...he went to St. Als with me, albeit a grade below, but still, I knew his face...through my interactions with him, I found him to a bit unsavory and my relationship went as far as that with him...
There is more that I could say, but I'm not sure it could be formed into words...
Today has affected me, not physically, but mentally and emotionally...
Some of you may find what I'm saying a bit hypocritical...why? I was down this road last July, very near my own death...I've looked back, wondering what the fuck was I thinking...I can't believe I was that close to sleeping forever. I'm pretty sure only two people know to this date that I had those intentions...I am extremely glad that I made the decision I did, and chose life over death...so much has happened in between now and then, and that wasn't even one year! Imagine how much I would have missed in the upcoming 88 years of my life...Luckily, I'm far from that path with none of it in sight...
As Carmen put it, "I hope heaven finds you well" Derek...and may we all learn from your decision...

Well, bassoon went well...and that was about the only thing that went well today...oh, and the few call I got from Carmen, updating me on her status...she is currently in Pennsylvania, coming back home from the march in D.C. a march aobut womens' rights, something I support fully...what she is doing is very good...women have the right to choose what goes on in their bodies...
Saturday also sucked a lot for me...let me categorize:
Good Events:
-Going out to lunch with Carmen (and having it cost $7.23 or whatever)
-Paying with a $10 bill and leaving the rest for tip
-Going up to Maumee Gateway to watch our siblings at S&E
-Seeing Kristin up at Maumee (and finding out why I didn't work with her)
-Spending time with Carmen before she left for D.C.
-Playing Vice City at Ian's
Bad Events:
-Working (especially so without Kristin)
-Getting yelled at for not helping prepare my BIRTHDAY DINNER
-Getting yelled at for not setting the table for my BIRTHDAY DINNER
-Having no one come over for my BIRTHDAY DINNER (although both Carmen and my aunt have legitiment reasons for why they didn't make it)
-Being blown off not only once, but twice on the same movie by the same group
Yeup...see, Saturday mainly sucked...
As for now, I'm fretting over my artwor, that I don't think it'll be up to standard and I'll glop out totally on it...I went to the Edinburgh meeting, which was alright, got homework done while I was there...other than that...bleh...
...And plus, I'm getting ill...

Well, I'm 17, and I don't feel older...I'm just worn out form running home in 30 degree weather...not grounded though, which is a plus...Wednesday was my birthday, spent it at work and at church...I did get 3.5 lbs of gummi worms from my sister and a $15 gift certificate to Finders from Carmen...Umm, Thursday just plain sucked...I had a ton of homework, and I was at the library until 8:30...I was about in tears on the way home, and pretty much for the rest of the night...the stress and fatigue were seriously getting to me...Friday, well it was better, got to spend time with Carmen (watched Excel Saga), got some project work done, and played Kick Ball...woo!
Tomorrow, gonna go see Kill Bill V.2 with Mutt and some fellows...gonna have my family over for a birthday dinner, which is pizza...gonna go out for lunch with Carmen...and then, before it all, I'm going to work...

One voice is clear above the din
Proud Aryan one word, my will to sustain

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time

Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather in the wind"

Last night, I returned into town around 8:00, after having eaten at Joe's Crabshack...I hooked up with Carmen, and then went rollerblading downtown...after that, with many failed attempts, we made copies in her father's office, copies of the script for her one act play, 4 A.M....I'm looking forward to seeing it put on by her, Doug, Esther, and Jackie (I believe, or Emily)...I set up my speaker system, which sounds amazing, to say the least...
Today was the first day back, and everybody was either cranky or tired, or both...well, not everybody, those who somehow manage to readjust instantly to the school life...*sigh*...started ready The Great Gatsby which isn't seeming to be all that bad...I gave Dana a ride home from school, and we had a nice conversation about sticks...
I had been planning on rollerblading to work today, but the wind was so powerful that I would have died...work sucked, spent all 3 hours in the stacks, had no visitors (due to fatigue), little contact with anybody at all...it is my job though, so I guess I shouldn't complain...and Brenda did shelve a couple picture books today, so I don't have so many waiting for me...
After work, I went home and ate all alone, becuase my family doesn't wait for me...after eating alone, I went with daniel to make some money by moving furniture...after that, we went to Home Depot to get a clasp for his hose in his engine...Carmen and Esther came and picked me up, and then we went to go get Doug...after that, we went to Meijer, to get candy and so Carmen could visit Bob...we went back to her house to watch Anastasia until Doug and my curfews...I came home, played GunBound and listened to the Glorious Burden...
Quote of the day:
"There's something solid forming in the air,
The wall of death is lowered in Times Square.
No-one seems to care,
They carry on as if nothing was there.
The wind is blowing harder now,
Blowing dust into my eyes.
The dust settles on my skin,
Making a crust I cannot move in
And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the freeway."

Today was good...went shopping this morning around 12...I woke up around 11:30, mainly because Carmen and I were on the phone till 5...anyways, my aunt and uncle and I went shopping to get me birthday presents...got me a pair of K2 rollerblades, and then a really nice pair of computer speakers...I also picked up vol. of Excel Saga, so Carmen and I are going to have to watch that sometime soon...we came home, and then hung out for awhile...did some homework until I got ready to leave...we went to a japanese restaurant for dinner, I got some good sushi...after that, I went to symphony, which was excellent...we came home, watched Predator...I called Carmen, but she was at Emily's and I didn't want to intrude on her happy times...she'll call me back, and that is what I'm currently waiting on...
I'm still not feeling any better about myself...if anything, it has gotten worse...I need something to boost my self-esteem or something bad is going to happen...

Well, here I am, early morning, at my aunt's...I've been having a good time already...let us see...I've been here since Thursday, and here is what we've done...
On Thursday, my uncle picked me up to bring me here, and we arrived around 12:30...my aunt grilled some burgers and hot dogs, and that is what we had for lunch...then we went outside to do some yard work...my aunt had a few dead trees that she needed removed, so we knocked them down and cut them up...we proceeded to burn most of the wood (the stuff that was rotted could not be kept as fire wood) along with the brush that had been piled up over the months...while I was loading up the fire, I snagged myself on a thornbush...it cut into me, and left a Y-shaped cut on my hand, and a few scrapes in my arm, along with a few holes in my shirt...after working out in the yard for 5 hours or so, we came in, had beef stroganough for dinner, and watched the wings game...well, I sat in the den on the computer while they watched the Wings game....they won, 4-1, and that puts them up 3-2 in the series...I called Carmen eventually and we talked for awhile...we both fell asleep, and I found my phone off this morning...it had run out of battery power...
I woke up around 10:30 this morning, and went downstairs to have breakfast...I had a grapefruit (which was rather good)...I went up and showered, and then we left to go shopping...we found myself a pair of rollerblades that fit...didn't pick them up today, but we are going to go them tomorrow...and we also found a nice pair of computer speakers for me, as a present from my Aunt Chris, Uncle Steve, and Uncle Matt...that takes care of my birthday...after shopping, we came back to the house and sat around for awhile...around 6, I started getting ready for dinner, called my mother, and called Carmen...we went to the club for dinner, and I had the pasta bar...it was pretty good, I was stuffed by the end of dinner...I also tried something that I never thought I'd try...hehe...after dinner, we went back to the house to change, and then went to see Hellboy...it was pretty good...probably one of the reasons why I liked it so much was that it dealt with the occult and demons and mythological type things...pretty good...we got home, and I called Carmen...she was busy, so I am awaiting her call currently...
As I was changing tonight, I looked at myself and thought "Damn, I'm really ugly"...I've been feeling this way for awhile now...I am really hating myself...

Wasting my spring break! Woo! But Thursday, I will be in Cleveland! Woo!

I'm really tired...I woke up too early this morning to go to work...after work, I got my car fixed...I was unsuccessful in finding rollwerblades, which sucks...had lunch at Jojo's, good pizza...
Amanda and I are going to prom together now, which is cool...gonna be a good time...

I'm tired...stopped a sentence or two midway, and had to think about it...hmm...
hung out with Carmen, ran errands, went to bassoon...I helped her out with getting the trip ready...as much as I liked to help out, it kinda depressed me, got me down, because I really want to go, and Carmen wishes I could go also...but I'm not going...*sigh*

So yeah...slept through my alarm today...woke up at about twenty of 10:00...showered and then went to work...work was alright, I took my Nomad in with me, so I could listen to music...I wasn't planning on it, but I heard a Rammstein song on the way to work that made me want to listen to more music...Carmen visited me today at work, which was quite nice...
After work, I went and picked up my stuff from Coomes, and then went to get my sister...after I got home, I pitched to Daniel, and hit some too...it was fun...then, I went to pick up Carmen, and then went to get gas and air...after awhile, we went with Esther to Kroger to shop for their camping trip...saw Sara there, and she looked so enthused to see me...I said hi...at checkout, we got the honor of having both Karly and Tracy both being baggers for us...Carmen and I went to dinner at my house, and then to Joe's after that...Liz(z), Joe, Matt Ducat, Dan, Ryan, and Samir were there...Ryan really wanted to see Fear and Loathing, so we ran around to find a copy...we ended up not watching it, and went to visit Doug at McSuck with Esther...we caused trouble there...then, we went back to Carmen's and watched Cirque du Soleil...fun day...
Prom's coming up...I've been weighing either asking Amanda or Lauren Clark to prom...I'm not too sure what I'm going to do, but it seems that I have a time limit on Amanda...although, I don't really see a problem in being asked to prom by someone who'd really want to go with me...
I have realized that aside from Carmen and Amanda, I've not had a visit from either of the two people who told me they'd visit me this week...
