Everyone's been on me to get posting again. ("Everyone" means Matt and my mom.) I wasn't aware that people were still checking even. I kept saying I'd update, but I never did remember to when it counted. Now that I've decided to get current, though, there are a lot of stories I need to cover.
-The most recent development is that our laptop has been fixed. Dad made it work again after a several-month hiatus, and it only took him about a day, so I'm mystified as to why he didn't do it sooner. Now we have a laptop again and, somehow--I still don't fully understand this--I got all my data back from before it crashed and burned. I plan to start designing my typefaces within the week.
-Other developments include our cat getting pregnant and winter getting on with what it does. In fact, winter has been spectacular this year, but it's getting close to its end. I wish it'd hang around a little longer. And actually I tink it's supposed to snow an inch or two tomorrow night. Maybe even a snow day?
-But here's the idea I've been harboring for a long time and I've wantde to write about except I kept forgetting:
-What is it about people that compels them to comment to me as I ride my bike past them? At least once a day I ride past some moron. As they disappear behind me, I always get one of two comments:
:"Can I get a ride?"
:"Yo, gimme that bike, foo!"
The person always thinks it's the height of hilarity to say this. They probably feel like they're very original, and saying that to me is their greatest accomplishment of the day. I doubt any of those idiots are reading this, but if they are: get some new material! Make me laugh! Or better yet, just keep your dumb mouth shut!
-There's another thing about me and my bike that's infecting even the smart people at my school. I ride my bike to school every single morning, and everyone in the area at that time is sure to see me because I'm very conspicuous biking in the middle of the actual street, but still when people see me they feel the need to notify me, "I saw you biking to school the other day." Matt has told me this and Rosie has told me this, along with half the rest of the school population. I'm not sure why. I'd appreciate feedback on this dilemma.
-I have read your comments and I have, in standard practice, promptly forgotten them. I remember BJ actually came on and said something to me--BJ is the captain of the academic team at my school, in case you don't know that, which is doubtful because everyone who reads this is in academic team pretty much--and Oh yeah! it was about that petition to keep Warder Park from being converted to a regular park. He wanted to know how that was going. Well, BJ, it's not going so great, because Dr. Tracy doesn't want to let me post my petitions on the school bulletin boards. He says that if I posted those, which support a political agenda, he'd have to let every nut with a political agenda post stuff on the boards. He doesn't want to have someone post a KKK thing there. He neglects to notice that he has never said a word about the Gay-Straight Alliance posters conspicuously plastered all over the school in vibrant pink. Quite a political agenda there, but he hasn't had those torn down yet. I'm going to have a talk with him about that.
-Other comments have gone into the void of my subconscious, but just ask me at school and I'll tell you about what you want to know.
-In closing I really hate TV. In my house that's all anyone seems to do. If there's no other way to spend time, like doing something productive, that they can think of they just switch on the TV. 95 percent of the time there's nothing good on. But they still watch it anyhow, like zombies. I can't stand it a lot of the time, though occasionally there are good shows (viz. The Simpsons, AFV, Stargate). It gets in the way of thinking. This goes doubly for video games. My brother plays video games continually. It's like he's dead in his chair. I don't understand why people go for artificial life. I prefer to actually live.

The first and last stunts in FF ARE boring. But I love watching people eat earthworms, hissing cockroaches, big wiggly spiders, coagulated cow's blood, pig uteruses, horse genitals, fish eyeballs, maggots, and all other manner of delicious entrees. :)

Disclaimer: my "d" key doesn't work all the time today, so if you see a missing letter it's probably a "d" that escape.
-When a person posts to my 'blog, the post is automatically sent to me by e-mail so I don't have to go all the way over to my 'blog to read it. An on my e-mail server Gmail they have those "sponsored links" things like you see at the right side of Google searches. The links that were sponsore for the post you wrote were:
--Crazy Fonts (linotype.com)
--Free crazy frog ownloas (jamster.com/something or other)
--Ghost pictures (crucifies.com)
Odd.
-I hope to post more than once a month. I just never got aroun to it because the computer was never there to remind me--it was hidden in the garage. Now that the laptop is sitting in the living room, frequency will probably increase. And also I'm not done with any of my fonts yet.
-I don't understan this sentence: "It seems annoying him shows seriousness and he is more willing to bend your way." But I o like the hole thing. Maybe I'll try igging a hole tomorrow.
-Catholics have to do community service for confirmation? I just attene some classes at the church.
-And finally, if you need any more proof that crossing your fingers oesn't work...
And Mom just commented as I finished posting that last comment. I've notice something: the default timestamps they give you at the bottom aren't accurate at all. Mom and I both poste within the last two minutes, at 5:00 today, but the computer claims we're six hours adrift.
-Mom, I personally derive no satisfaction from watching someone eat a horse penis. Maybe this stems from something deeper. Just a thought.
I am agreeing all around today, which is making me paranoid. I just finished reading an excellent play called "An Enemy of the People" by Henrik Ibsen, where the main character is exiled from his own community because he refused to back down from his beliefs. Also, in AP Psychology, we are studying conformity. OK, I am going to stop now before I drive myself insane. (We haven't gotten to that unit yet.) ;)
"Fear Factor" is garbage, and it saddens me to see that other networks are following on the damnable path of hell-fire Fox first blazed. The only time I have found comsuming genitalia amusing was a "The Simpsons" episode where Homer developped a taste for ox testicles after being sent to a tropical isle as a missionary ("Help me, Jebus!"). Still, I have no desire to see a real person do the deed.
I also have observed your Winton Road travellings à vélo. I think what spurs people to asinine comments is the fact that, like Matt said, very few people do it any more. When I was a freshman, I rode my bike to school from the Prince Frederick appartments. I also got the same kind of stupid comments thrown my way. People like to target an oddity, and a boy with big hair on a bike is certainly that nowadays.
Speaking of such things, why did you stop wearing a tie to school every day?
If you don't think Dr. Tracy is going to listen to you, you can pull a McGlade. Create a big, clapboard sign saying "Save the Warder Nursery" and strap it to your chest and during lunch and in between bells, you can walk down the halls with a brass bell to attract people's notice. I think Dr. Tracy will come to prefer the alternative: Posting a few signs and collecting signatures.
On the run,
BJ
Good ol' Fox. We report, YOU decide! ;)
I'm pleased that my son and his friends are trying to raise me from the bowels of my own ignorance...sorry for the 4 posts in a row- blogger was having issues.
Ehem, my two cents worth -
Fear Factor - total waste of time. The things that people subject themselves to on that show are simply disgusting. Ewwww, honestly I wouldn't debase myself like that for a mere $50,000. Now, reality TV that I would consider - Amazing Race. Then at least I could travel the world. That in itself would be a great consolation prize when I didn't win.
