Wellll, I'd give an update for the day, but I'd pretty much just be bitching, so lets cut right to the root of my ailment. So yeah, you're warned. This is like my questioning rant about why people act the way they do.

Why the fuck do people have to act like their 3 instead of 17 or 18? This week I've had more than my fill of people acting childish. I mean really, we're in highschool, grow up some. Act like your age, not it's single digit counterpart. I mean I don't think Trey or Corbin could make it through their day without talking about someone's mom or about someone. What the fuck? Get your kicks somewhere else, not at the expense of another person or their family. That childish bullshit gets old real fast. And Clay who acts like a pre-teen with ADD. He's got the worst pre-teen angst I've seen and about the stupidest shit, and then he sits in class and acts like he has ADD, thumping paper footballs at people, shooting them with rubber bands, throwing bouncy-balls all over the class. Shit, just sit down and act your age, not like you're in the 3rd grade. How hard is that? If he would act as calm all day as he is in the mornings before he like gets jacked up on caffine or whatever he does between Physics and Calculus, we'd be okay, but no, always gotta thump rubber bands or paper footballs at me or someone else.

and that's just the start of the list. That's the ones I deal with acting like little kids on a daily basis. So lets don't even start on the various others who do it on a semi-daily basis. So it gets old real fast. I just can't seem to quite figure out what in the hell makes them think it's so great and so funny to act like little kids. I mean getting your jollies out of trying to make a joke about the way someone looks or about their mom or sister is one of the most immature things I've experienced in my life, and it's like how they get their day-to-day jollies. I think if they didn't make some half-ass, not-funny mom joke everyday, they'd go home and cry and think their day was a bad day or something.

I mean shit, how hard is it to stop and take half a second to think about some of the shit you say before you do it? or about some of the actions you take before you do them? Not to say that I don't make mistakes myself, but mine are just that, mistakes. They're not making jokes or thumping things at people and making a general jackass out of myself. If I'm an asshole to anyone, you can pretty much bet it's being done on purpose. They've most likely done something to deserve it, because I'm usually pretty calm and don't wig out until I write things down. But I mean really, what is it pyschologically that makes them want to say shit and do shit to like make fun of someone else, or ridicule them, or make jokes at their expense? it's about as immature as you can get, considering your a senior in high school. It's not funny, it's being an asshole. The only ones who think its funny are the ones who said it, or his buddy who's just as immature as he is. If you notice, I typically don't laugh at jokes about other people. Why? I don't think it's funny to get laughs at someone else's expense.

I'd say it's a lack of psychological development, but hell neither of the 3 who I listed above that do it on a constant basis are stupid people, so it's not that they're un-developed psychologically. I dunno what it is...It just doesn't make good sense. I mean what, are you just that insecure about yourself that you have to try to boost your own self-worth at the expense of someone else's? Or are you really that far into left field that you think it's actually funny to talk about other people? It just...blah....pisses me off to deal with it day-after-day. I mean once and awhile, it's not too bad, but when I experience and see it happen to other people daily, it just gets old real fast. It just makes me wonder what the fuck is wrong with our region. Because I've never been anywhere except Arkansas county where shit is that way......

I dunno...so I'm going to go read a nice book about stabbing people in the face with spears.......The Iliad! I have to finish it for AP Lit by Monday.....

That's all...

Wow.....Haven't written in ages...there's tons  I could tell, but I don't really care to....For some reason these past few weeks I've been more worried about enjoying my own memories and cherishing them than writing them down for future reference or to share with other people.... Especially this week. I think it hit me hard on that idea  with homecoming....

So yeah this past week has been hectic, busy, and halfass organized. I understand why you only do it once.

Meh....my mind's still racing. I can't even get it settled or focused on anything enough to write coherently. So yeah...I'll try to work on it next week, when I haven't had so much rushed in to a point that I can't even explain it all, the highs the lows, the work and the enjoyment, etc.....So I'll just do it next week, when everything slows down....

Hmm yeah I haven't updated in a week. It's gone by so fast, doesn't seem like that long.

So highlights?
Friday - We got our asses kicked. Why? We played like shit the first half. No one played like they really cared....If we'd done like we did second half, we'd have won I believe.

Saturday - I went to Pine Bluff and got a new suit, needed it for homecoming/class day anyways. I can just order a tux shirt, a vest/tie, and some cuff links and use it for prom too, lmao!

Sunday - I woke up late, so I didn't go to church. Feel bad because I told Mrs. Tamyra I would. So I spent most of the day cleaning my room to keep myself busy, so I'd stop worrying about college and scholarships. I've been -WIGGING OUT- about them. Because if I don't get them I can't afford to go to college. I know my parents can't afford to pay it. So after I got done filling out the applications for Fayetteville and such, I tried to keep myself busy. My dad was like "damn boy, you got a girl staying the night or something, you've been in there cleaning everything, busted out the vaccuum and everything!" I thought it was hilarious. But I'm not at home enough to clean my room really, hardly in there except to sleep and do homework. So I just go in and sling shit down and it never gets cleaned up except like every other month.....

Monday - Nothing special. Practice sucked in the cold rain. =( Plus we had to go full pads on a Monday. Boo! Hiss! .....Umm....I think that's all really, lol.

Today:

EMD - I went, I was a little late, but I made it. I disagreed with Andy on some of the things he was saying, as he was coming down hard and bashing heavy rock, which is my favorite type of music. He was saying about at some christian ralley they were playing different kinds of music and how he didn't like most of it because the music to the Lord should be pleasing to the ear or whatever. But that's really a matter of opinion, I find rock pleasing to the ear, and I doubt I would his kind of music. So thus, to bash it with the reasoning and judgement he did, has no solid foundation for his accusations. Also he talked about people not being ministers because they didn't belong to a church? Sorry but in my book anyone who takes the time of their lives to reachout and help people and do the shows for people and try to bring them to God is a minister of his message, regardless of rather they go to a certain church or not, or if they just travel, or whatever. So yeah.....He brought out personal theologies, and apparently his and mine aren't anywhere near the same.

Physics - Have I mentioned that I hate this old man? He's a rude sumbitch. I hope he falls and breaks a hip. I have an 89 for 4 1/2 weeks, which is better than I expected. Anyways, I hope at semester we get a teacher who takes our questions serioiusly, rather than trying to make jokes about them and laughing at us for asking like "oh, well you should know that!" ....no, we shouldn't, we've never taken physics before.

AP US History - Pretty sure my teacher is wayyyyyyyy too white and nerdy. He needs to go talk to his wife and get laid. I have a pretty good grade in here, but he's been an ass the past few days. Like I said, he needs to get laid. Test today, I probably didn't do worth a damn because I didn't read the chapter because I haven't had time!

Art - I pretty much finished up my project =) Finally. Like a week and a half I've been working on it. This class is probably one of my most fun of the day. It's small and we don't have assholes. I mean how much more friendly of a teacher can you ask for than Mrs. Jackson?

Calculus - We haven't done anything in like a week because Purdy hasn't been there! Test in here Thursday...Not sure how I'll do, but probably will do alright.

English - We've been reading Beowulf. It's awesome. I suggest everyone read it. It's just "hardcore" to steal Britton's word, lol.

Library - I just chill, or do homework, or check out books for someone, or help Mrs. Holly. *shrug* nothing special.

Spanish - It's Counce, it's fun. I have a 91, but I'm lucky to have that considering I nearly failed some of the review stuff, lol. I have the same seat as last year, one of the TST members right behind me (same one as last year,) and another one of them 2 seats to my right! So it's in for an interesting year. Been pretty fun so far.

Athletics - It was practice. I figured out how to do defense against that damn double-wing offense a lot better than yesterday. Yesterday I was getting a- frickin- bused. Because I was getting double teamed every play and hadn't figured out the best way to take it on with them being that close. (we cut our splits down on the line, so we're closer together now. went from 2 feet to 6 inches.) Thusly I say, I got the shit knocked out of my ribs today, but I put a few people on the ground, so I dealt and recieved about evenly today.

Hmm so since then I've been kicking it at the house, trying to take it easy because I don't have homework for ONCE. I'm tired, and I hurt.

There, updated! I'll try to be more frequent from now on, lol.

Aight so here's today's rundown

EMD - Didn't go! Why? Nick was exhauste as could be and got all the extra sleep he could this week.

Physics - Test. It was easy but apparently everyone but me and Trey were trippin about it, lol. I think I did fine on it.

AP History - I made up my essay, which I bullshitted my way through because I felt like shit all day. Especailly in the morning. So it got half-assed. Then I chilled in class since we didn't have a teacher today.

Art - Worked on my project some more. I got behind some though because of missing yesterday. Oh well.

AP Calc - Umm...I don't remember much. I remember going over old homework, and this is now Calc/Physics tutoring. Why? Because Whitcomb doesn't fuckin teach! Everytime we ask a question he makes a joke out of it and doesn't really answer. Which I hate. That's not gonna work later in the class when we need to learn stuff, and aren't reviewing shit like significiant digits.

AP English - Well Trey BSed me, we didn't have to take the Jane Eyre test, but I bet it'd have been easier! It was multiple choice. the 1984 was fill in the blank, true/false, and short answer! Every single question! It was a bitch. Trey and I were like "Uh, hey, what happened to multiple choice? Never said anything about short answer and fill in the blanks."

Library - Helped move computer stuff around in there, and went to talk to Mrs. Purdy about a scholarship.

Spanish - Didn't do anything. I have to take my test tomorrow, lol. Yeah, it's been put off that far. They started last Thursday. I hate the speaking tests though =( they suck ass. Why? I can write/read Spanish much better than I can speak it.

.......Hold a moment while I kill my sister, because that bitch can't sing and she's behind me trying to sing, and a HORRIBLE song at that!!! *stalks off to stab*......

Okay now that she's silenced (although that shitty ass song should be burned to non-existance still...), I can continue....

Athletics - It was practice. Except a practice in which I got about 5 or 6 tackles and a fumble recovery. The fumble thing was funny, because I saw it happen, and I could've just let Mike Ticey pick it up and knocked his fuckin lights out, but instead I did a baseball slide under his ass and yanked it out of his hands about the time he picked it up. I was like "MINE! MY FOOTBALL! M I N E!" lol. =D It was a lot of fun today.

Afterwards - Came home, showered, ate, saw the pictures of my baby brother and I that came in finally, then went to the fair. I chilled there and walked around for awhile, talking to people and stuff, then I met up with Trey and Justin and got an armband, and only rode like 3 rides with them, lol. Though, all 3 were like high in the air rides, and I'm afraid of heights, so that was pretty fucked up. We went on the little pink rockets, whatever that's called, then on the Ali Baba (the big thing with green lights that spins around like a pendilum that doesn't hit a wall.), and the ferris wheel. I only went on the last 2 so they couldn't say I bitched out. =P Because I hate heights. First time I've ever been on a ferris wheel, but it wasn't too bad when the stupid carnie stopped slamming the breaks to let people on. Everytime he did that, I thought I was gonna roll that seat over upside down  =(. Damn carnies.

Speaking of Carnie.....Hehe Justin Carney, he went on the hurricane with us, stood in line for the Ali Baba, and then the bitch backed out at the last minute. We were like "dude if you back out now, we're callin you a pansy ass bitch" because Trey's little sister even rode it. We were like "You're not gonna get shown up by a damn 8 year old girl  the size of a toothpick are you?" ....but he did. Haha. So if you see him, tell him he's a pansy ass.

And that about sums up my day.

So in other news, I'm pretty much sold on Fayetteville I think. As long as I can get the money. Which I think I can. See, I have a few friends up that way already. Tia and Britt in West Fork, and then the people from DeWitt who already graduated and went to Fayetteville, like Sam and Holt. And even though it's close enough to home I can drive back if I need/want to, it's not so close to home that I'm feeling depentant upon being home. So it's not like I'll be alone without knowing anyone, and I'll be close enough to home if I just really need something.

Although I can't say for sure, because I really have a lot of consideration on ETSU because of the family on my mom's part in TN. They all seem to really want me to go out there, and I'd like to be around my brother there, but I just dunno....Plus at ETSU I can only get a degree in computer science, at UA I can get the degree in Engineering, not just Science. I just don't know yet....

So lets list what Nick learned this weekend:
1) The mountains around Fayetteville are beatiful.
2) The difference in a degree in CS and CE.
3) That I'll probably be able to afford it if I want to go there
4) some odd 3 1/2 of about 4 1/2 - 5 hours of driving home, SUCKS HAIRY ASS when it's raining so thick you can't see very far infront of you and you're by yourself.
5) I'm never making that trip by myself again.
6) Girls in the northwest part of the state are easy on the eyes for sure.
7) Fayetteville has a pretty simple layout, basically centered around the college, and I'd learn my way around rather quickly. (Think I can still get to a few places by memory from driving it on Sunday night)
8) There is about as much in West Fork as DeWitt or Almyra -AKA not shit.
9) My truck can survive the trip to Fayetteville and back! Thankfully.
10) Never go to football practice after you get done driving for about 5 hours, in bad weather, and you're already fatigued and tired. That was so stupid of me...
11) The bed in the hotel was more comfortable and easier to sleep on than my own personal bed.
12) 104.9 is the Fayetteville equivalent of 100.3 for my region.
13) The admissions building is -not- open on Sunday
14) When they offer me an umbrella next time, I'm taking it!

Well there are a few other things, but that's all I care to list. I'm getting bored =P

Yeah pretty sure I'm blowing off that 20 pages of reading in AP History tonight, but I'll just get the quiz answers from Trey or John tomorrow.....prolly John because Trey'll blow it off and copy off me as I copied off John, lol! or we'll leave them blank and fill eachother's in =P. Why? Because we can do it like that!

Yeah that's all for now...

G'Night,

Monday, September 11, 2006

Well, pretty sure Thursday doesn't matter, no update for it. Friday, we lost the game. Go figure, 16-8. They scored in the last few minutes of the game. =(

Saturday...hmm....I washed my truck, got my hair cut, and went to the padgeant(sp). Proud of a few people, they did good =) I left before the oldest group though, went home to get some rest for the trip yesterday...

Sunday - Got up, ready, etc. and left out around 8:45. Went to Stuttgart, got some oil and batteries, went to Humphrey to see if Tim was gonna ride with me. He didn't so it was off to Hazen, filled up, and drove non-stop all the way to Fayetteville. Got there, stopped at the admin. office, which was frickin closed, so then I called home and was like "hey this damn office is closed, where do i go?" so figured out where my inn was, went there, checked in, and had been there about 10 minutes when Tia called me back. (I had called her when I went by WF.) So I took a shower, drove back to WF (it's about 10 miles from Fay-town) and picked her up and we kicked it in Fayetteville. Went to the mall, some place that was like a spin-off of Taco Bell (but it was pretty good. I can't remember the name though. Beuno something.) then we went and watched Talladega Nights. Funny show.

Here is where I should note that she's my new fuckin hero! She actually knows that girls don't need a lot of toe/finger-nail polish and makeup to be beautiful. Which, she does a damn good job of without it, lol. I didn't think there was a girl left alive who didn't like load up on makeup to go like across the street. So made my day. Well okay, hanging out with her in general did, -especially- since I'd been by myself with nothing but me, a radio, and the interstate all day.

Anyhow, took her home, drove back, and SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. Yeah. So I get up this morning, and it's storming. Take a shower, eat a continental breakfast in the lobby, and go over to admin. By this time the rain has stopped. We have a meeting with the director of recruitment or whatever he was, then had tours. So they hand out umbrelas. I'm like "the rain's slacked off, I don't need one." WRONG! The rain picked up like right after we left the building. So I get wet as we walk around campus. Then I have an interview with the engineering dept., and go do that, which was very informative and interesting, but for the sake of shortness I'll skip it. So I leave, and guess what, it's POURING.down. I got soaked walking back to administrations where my truck was. Right as I get to the admissions building, it fuckin stops raining. So I get to my truck and put on some dry clothes, go back in admin. and get a slip for the high school, and it was out of Fay-town for me. Homeward bound. I get to the interstate, and it's POURING again. =( So I get a nice long fuckin drive through thick rain I could hardly see through almost the whole way home. It got real bad around Conway. Then just past Little Rock and before Lonoke, it just abruptly stops. So I got a nice clear ride home from there. Thank God. So I get home just in time to catch football practice! ....damn. =( So since I pretty much have to go, even though I'm dead from that drive, I go to ball practice. The storm starts moving that way, and it's lightning around us while we're running sprints. I told coach Bo "Ya know, they have a word for people who play around in lightning, and the word ain't smart." So yeah...that was pretty fucked up. Anyhow, all the rain I was glad to leave, I then had to drive back to Almyra in it. That like depressed me so much for some reason, just because I had to deal with rain again. I was like "damn stupid, good for nothin, always fuckin up my driving, rain!" lol.

Since then, I've been chillin at the house. Fixin to get shit ready for school tomorrow and go to bed. So yeah....G'night.
