LMAO! (in a good way)! I was randomly looking through someone elses Xanga since they posted on mine, and I came across this:

"This afternoon I ran into Matt H. for the first time in ages. He goes to Long Reach, 'asswhy. Funny, he lives [edit] I haven't seen him in...over two years... It was oddness. I was just walking Monty and he was, I don't know, unpacking the trunk of the car, or something, and I walked up and said "Hi." "Hi... ......[her name]?" Yeah. I almost didn't recognize him, either. He's actually taller than me, now, and he's...really good-looking... That wasn't supposed to happen! He was Dork Boy in eighth grade! Gah!! Unfair, totally unfair... *bangs head on desk* ...Okay, okay...I'm fine..."

Yea, i edited it a little to "protect her privacy/identity", but heh, who would've thunk it? Well, its good to know that I'm not Dork Boy any more, thank god. Just thought that was interesting. Well, to the person who posted that, you look much better too. So yea, I guess everyone really does change over time, one way or another...

Woohooo!!! I passed my drivers test, so I am now in possession of one Maryland Provisional Drivers License, yep! Pretty fly for a white guy.... sorry, I had to fit that in somewhere. So yeah, and I only lost 2 points on my test, and that was for "Not observing traffic when entering 3 point turn", which makes no sense because i can see oncoming vehicles right infront of me because its a straigh road, and turning into the box i obviously have to look where I'm going ( a dead end), but whatever, its good enough for me. Hopefully now my friends' dad will let us take their LeBaron convertible out for a spin, cuz that would be slick. Well yeneways, bye now.

Yea, well school started today and my classes rock, yea yea yea, but now I'm just kirkin out over my frickin drivers test. Its tomorrow at 3 and I just got back from some really sucky parallel parking practice and I think I've got like a 50/50 chance of actually passing the damn thing, which pisses me off. If theres one thing I hate more than anything else, its failing. I mean, that doesn't neccessarily refer to test grades or anything, but I'm determined to get my license and I'm gonna be pissed if I prove to be a fuckin failure at it! Dammit.... Argh, well freaking out over it isn't gonna make things any better, but yea, other than that today was great. A description of my schedule pretty much goes like this:

Physics AP- Calc based course that uses a 10 pound text book, but Mr. Siskind rocks and he's the best in Howard County

US History AP- Its gonna be a lot of work, but Mr. O'Brian seems like a very intersting teacher

Independent Research- I didn't have anything else worth while to take during 3rd Period, and its gonna be easy as pie, plus theres only 5 students in my class. But it should be cool cuz I get to research whatever the hell I want all year long

EPT Junior Practicum- All I can say is that its gonna be awesome, its my tech mag class at the ARL and the syllabus is all structural design concepts, battery theory, MIG/TIG welding, metal fabrication, vehicle construction, Computer Aided-Design, etc which is all incoporated in building a kick-ass vehicle.

AB Calc AP- Cool teacher, and its outside in one of the portables. I think I'll do well in it

English 11H- I had to drop down to honors because of a major scheduling problem, but when I looked at the syllabus, I almost cried in joy. It looks sooooo much easier than last years GT english with Mrs. Lowry. At least I'll still be able to do AP next year

So yea, that sums up my schedule for anyone who gives a damn, peace...

Ok, even though no one's interested, my vendetta against those bees was a success, as they are all now dead. I have also come to the conclusion that above all other sports, real mountain biking takes the most balls. I did an "easy-moderate" trail today and it was awesome but still insane. One of the only things scary enough to actually get your adrenaline really pumping, at least for me. Cuz its like you're going down hill dodging some rocks, go right through others, swerving all over, hitting mud, and you can't stop or else you'll get stuck or just plain fall off, and yeah. But yea, it was awesome and I want to do some more of it, though I could use a lot of practice. Yep, going away for another week, which I'm excited about because theres nothing for me to do here. Swim season is over until September and Xcountry doesn't start for another 2-3 weeks. Besides, no one's taken me up on my offer to hit me up my cell phone if they want to do something, so I really haven't hung out with anyone since summer started. Yeah, thats kind of pitiful, but oh well. Maybe I'm just too antisocial or not outgoing enough. Hmm.. well, I'll be busy tomorrow at least, so peace.

Okay, in approximately 15 minutes from now, I have a vendetta... a vendetta to kill those little bastards. And by little bastards, I mean the yellow jackets that have taken up residence underneath the side walk in front of my house. Early today, for no reason, one stung me right in the ankle! Then, to further piss me off, another one hit me while I was riding my bike (because it wasn't watching where the hell it was flying!), but then it had the nerve to get pissed at me and sting me right in the lip! So yea, tonight, while they're innactive, I'm spraying a bunch of this bee-killer stuff down in their little hole, and then... tomorrow, if there are any survivors, I'm gonna put a lighter in front of this bee-killer stuff and toast the little bastards because it also happens to be extremely flammable! What now bee-yitches!! Ha! Oh yes, I'm excited about getting my revenge..... Well, talk to you later, and if I don't post for a while, then it probably means that the bees weren't innactive when I tried to spray, in which case I'm in deeeep shit. But oh well, we shall see...

Yep, I'm back from camping (AGAIN!) with the family down in middle-of-nowhere VA. Actually, they did have a Walmart Supercenter ::ooohhhhh....ahhhhhh::, so it wasn't too bad. So now I'm just chilling out till YET ANOTHER week of camping with the scouts, but it should be cool cuz I'm doing a "high-adventure" program with whitewater rafting, rockclimbing, caving, etc etc. And I also just finished my last driving session with Easy Method, so I'm sooo close to finally getting my license! Well, I'm not doing much else other than swim team and training for xcountry, so hit me up on my cell if you want to do anything (not that anyone reads this of course, but I got end the entry somehow :)

::BIG YAWN:: Yea, finally finished packing all my stuff for the family vacation, so i can chill. Too bad its 1:53AM, but oh well. I also made it through that troop planning meeting tonight, which is good. Hmmm.... what else can i ramble on about? I dunno. Well, i'll be camping for the next week, but i'll still have my cell phone with me so if you want to talk to me just give me a ring. Oh.... "So Ralph Nader, George Bush, and Bill Clinton are on a cruise when the boat suddenly hits an iceburg and begins to sink. So Ralph Nader says, 'We need to get all the women on the lifeboats first!' But Bush yells, 'Hell, screw the women." To which Bill Clinton goes, "Do we have time?' " Lmao, I at least thought it was a good joke. Oh, and I was also up till 3:30 last night watching the South Park Movie on Comedy Central. It was hilarious, although i think it was doing some serious cocaine or something; and apparently you can say "fuck" on TV now, so long as its late at night. Alright, I'm gonna go get some sleep, peace out!

God dammit!!! It really sucks not being able to rely on people. I'm trying to get this annual troop planning meeting pulled together, and its already been delayed for over a month, but its like everyone else completly ditches their responsibility. I mean, I know I'm supposed to be doing a lot since I'm SPL, but even still, key people i need there are on vacation, can't come for some odd reason, or are having a fucking sleepover instead of coming! I don't like having to make all the important decisions on my own without youth input from the troop, but if they're gonna be so apathetic as to not give a shit, I might as well be the only one who shows up (along with a few of the adults who are actually involved). I mean, we were supposed to be fucking camping this weekend too, but we didn't have enough of the lazy shit heads going, so it was cancelled! Arggghhh..... VERY FRUSTRATED >_< !!! And additionally, my plans to see someone who I really wanted to see before I left town for another week fell through yet again, this time becuase people don't ansewer the phone when you need them to. Well damn. On the bright side, I, at least, am prepared with enough camping and park info to run the meeting, so long as i don't get shot down because the namby pamby adults don't want to drive so far to the awesome places I've looked up. Yea, sorry people, I'm just venting a little here. Well I'm gonna go find some way to chill, peace...

Yay! I'm going on vacation for a week (leaving Sunday), and its camping too! Albeit KOA luxury campgrounds so to speak, it should still be fun. I also got a bunch of driving hours in chauffering my 'rents around yesterday, which was good. So just 12 more hours till I get my license, yea! I'm eligible July 30. Well, it looks like I'll have a full day tomorrow between getting everything ready for the family trip, going to the mall (hopefully not alone!), and my annual troop planning meeting. Heehee, just rambling on and now "Ramble On" is playing off my playlist, lol. That about wraps it up, so yea, later...

So yea, I just got back from a really awesome 2 week backpacking trip Saturday, but theres just so much to be said about it that I'm really too lazy to type it all, so if you want to hear anything more about it you'll have to talk to me. Oh, and by the way, I'm 16 now!!! Hell yea... I've also just started reading The Da Vinci Code. I'm only on page 15, but I can already tell that its gonna be an awesome book. Well, I've been in the woods for about 14 days, so just hit me up if you want to chat or catch me up on what I missed. Well, I'll post later if anything interesting happens, c ya.
