| High School |
[Aug. 6th, 2005|01:27 pm] |
Now that I've finished high school, I think I'll take some time and recount all that I can...
Let's start with Freshman year... the first thing I remember about freshman year was chorus. I remember our first assembly, I'm not quite sure what the assembly was aboutbut I remember not knowing where to go, and then running to chorus class and being late. I remember that Father John recruited me in Christianity(Freshman year religion) to help out for the plays. That is when John came into my life, he taught me everything that he knew, all of the ins and outs of the theatre, and how the whole building was wired. We did my first two shows that year, Ten Little Indians, and Clue. Clue was the first show I worked on during the show, during the building process, I learned a lot about structure support, and pain, but we'll not mention that. Being in chorus was an adventure in itself, I was a Tenor I if you can believe it, my section leader was Pete Brice, and our section was made up of freshman, it was pretty fun. That's all I can really remember from freshman year, I'll post later with the following years. Peace all... |

It has been a long long time since I even looked at my journal. So I guess I should update all of you that read this(me) and a misc. few that heard of it.
I am now a graduate of CHC, its nice to say that, but anyway... I now live in Pennsylvania which sucks... I'm not really fond of it up here because there is nothing to do. Prom was amazing by far, I went with an old friend, Liz Shipley, its kind of funny because she had a major thing for me the year before. But all in all it was fun we danced and miscellaneous stuff occured, we'll not get into that, I'll just say "WOW".
School passed quickly after that and for some reason my "Freshman" hung out with me more, in the mornings we'd lounge in the theatre until it was time to go to homeroom. I passed all my classes, but the only one I was slightly worried about was English, but that turned out okay. I got to work the Spring Play, but that was only because Dwyer had to be backstage to make sure no sex was going on. That was fine, and then graduation came, which was good, I was glad to be free finally.
Senior Week... If anyone knows Caitlin's mom DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING below to her, that would be bad and I would never be able to talk to anyone in that house again. Anything read... all questions should be directed to me and me only...
Senior Week, where do I start... The place where we stayed was referred to as a "Box Hell" it definitely wasn't the best place to stay, that is why I only stayed there the first night, and that is why no one can tell Caitlin's mom, we were only supposed to spend the last night at their place. We took Q to court for speeding, when I say we I mean Frost and myself, that was the one time I got sun burnt, on the car ride "There and Back Again: A Senior's Tale." For those of you that haven't seen Lord of the Rings, I pity you. Back on subject, when we got back to OC we hung out with the girls, we did a lot of that down there. It was fun, I got to make breakfast most mornings, which was cool, and I claimed the kitchen as my domain, it was clean all except for I think one night where I passed out on the floor.
Just so everyone knows all of the beds in that house are comfortable, especially the futon, and the king. I loved the beach it was so much fun, and I got to bond with a close friend and we now refer to ourselves in the 4th person, it's kind of funny and it pisses Frost off. We did a lot of fun things in OC, Frost and I got covered in grease and anti-freeze, which was just wonderful, and I met lots of new people, Carrie, Alex, Sarah, Meghan H., Megan F., and Caitie. One of the funniest parts of Senior Week was when Snake was gang-bang cock-blocked, but all is well because he reversed the cock-block and is now going out with Caitie. I became Alex's drunk buddy after a night at Larry's, where I also saw Snake drunk, it was good times.
All in all Senior Week was a blast, and I am a... different person because of it. I have never slept with so many girls before... I slept quite well those nights. I also made friends off of Senior Week friends, a big one is Heather, who is a really cool chick, and Christine, but I have yet to meet her, we've only talked on the phone, there are more, I just don't have the time to write them all down.
When we got back from OC, I went through withdraw the next week, because I went from seeing 10+ people to none. The following week I met up with some of the OC girls and it was a relief to see someone else besides my mom. When basketball camp came around it was fun, seeing people I hadn't seen since the previous summer, I also got to spend the night over Megan F.'s house which was fun... and we'll leave it at that. I spent a lot of time with Alex and went to see her in a softball tournament, which was cool, but caused a little controversy because Courtney plays for the same team.
I had my last basketball camp two weeks ago, and it was sad, cause it really hit me that I was leaving, but Racheal and Jesse said that they would come visit me. I tried staying away from this house as long as I could, I went to Hershey Park on the Friday I was supposed to be at camp, and that monday I went to my buddy's surprise birthday party up be Widener College. It was cool and good to see him. I spent the night at my buddy Joe's, and we did a couple shots before bed.
I was avoiding coming up here, for one main reason and his name is Bob. He is my mom's boyfriend I guess that is what you'd call him. I wasn't thrilled to meet him, but hes a pretty cool guy, we don't really interact, normally during dinner or when we're out having a smoke. That is another thing I picked up this summer, I'm not addicted, and I'm not going to be.
What other things did I forget to mention... I got drunk when I was house sitting with Alex, and that was fun. We (OC crew) went down to the inner harbor to go see an O's game, but it was sold out so we spent the time down around the inner harbor, which is where I had my first cigarette, with Snake, it was fun. I went ghost-hunting with Snake and Q, Frost was held up. what else is there... I'm not quite sure, but I think this is enough for you guys to read for a little while... night to all of you, and I wish the best for whatever endeavors you have... |

| Another Day |

I get to have another long day today, I think it'll be about a fifteen hour day. Anyway off that subject, yesterday sucked. I had a lecture and two tests. If you know anything about the Hall that is a little much. I also get to take an Anatomy test later today. I should be studying for it now, but I've got connections so I won''t worry about it. Tomorrow is going to be interesting. The good news is it's Friday. The bad news I have a possible basketball game and a mixer at the same time. This is bad because I am a person of importance to both of these groups. Tomorrow isn't what I should be worried about.
I spend to much time thinking about how other people will react, it takes me a while to do something or make a decision. I'm starting to get in the habit of doing what I want, but its a slow process. Normally I get roped into things because they fall into my jurisdiction at school. Yes, I work at school. It has its ups and downs. I get to do something that I like, which is good. But I don't get any recognition for the hours I put in. I mean people know me as the teck guy, but thats about it. I'm pretty sure at least 10% of people in my school would know what I do. I can walk through the halls and people will just know who I am. Teachers also give me a wierd type of respect. I'd be sitting in the cafe and a teacher wouldrandomnly ask me to fix their computer or something. It's weird.
I am called by the duty that was given to me from the beginning of the school and must depart. |

I really wish I didn't get to school so early. I lose so much sleep its not even funny. I'm surprised I'm able to stay awake all day. It happens and life goes on.
I'm not quite sure why I'm writing this. I only gave the address to Frost, so I'm not sure why I feel I'm writing to a bigger audience. I think the only reason is that I have a hard time expressing my feelings and thoughts when people are around. I tool this quiz type thing in relationships class and it said that I'm very quiet and I'm a thinker among other things. Surprisingly enough it was right. Relationships class has its good and bad qualities. It's kind of a joke class, but it helps me understand the best way to interact with people. I definetely need help in that area.
Sometimes I don't know the reason why I keep trying at life. It seems all very useless, don't get me wrong I believe in God and all that stuff, but what's the point of being here if you're miserable most of the time. Maybe its possible that I'm homesick for heaven. I felt a little like this when I went to Vegas and was visiting my dad. I was homesick for all of my friends then. Now, I'm normally surrounded by people, but that doesn't help. I'm with them physically, but not mentally. I have a problem with being analyticlal and trying to solve all my problems.
Girls are very wierd, no offense to any girls reading, but its true. I'm hated by them for no apparent reason and loved by other for the same reason. It doesn't make sense. I giving up girls completely. It really pisses me off that Frost just gets a girl to like him for the sport of it, when I can't even get a girl to like me. Grr... If Kitty ever gets a chance to read this she will mostly beat Frost into a bloody pulp. Don't get me wrong, Frost is a good person most of the time and can get annoying very easily, but he's still mainly good.
Snake and I are a few of the main people that know most of his secrets and have helped on his many escapades to try and redeem himself with other people, mainly Kitty. I can look back over the past two years and I remember every almost every girl that caused a problem in their relationship, it was mainly Darsha and Typha, and it wasn't pretty when Kitty got pissed at Frost. It seemed always to happen when I was around. I remember one time when Frost and I were walking back to his car from the library and Kitty called him and started bitching him out. It made me so mad that I almost decked Frost. Lucky for him I've learned how to contain my rage. I just pity the person that I unleash it upon. Thats at least a year and a half of pure rage building up inside of me. It does cause a lot of inner turmoil, but the sad thing is that I've gotten used to it. I think that this is a thing I shouldn't get used to.
My CD has ended and it is time for me to depart to the kitchen and help out the lunch ladies. Good bye all that read this(a whopping none) I hope that fortune smiles brighter on you than it does for me. |

Hi, I'm back again. Today is going to be a very unfun day. I have a big assembly that I have to set up for and today is my final home game for basketball. If you don't know me that well those are two things that I do. Teck has taken a turn for the worst this year. There was a whole monopoly escapade, then there was the things that happened in the pit, and don't forget the new head of Teck. She took my job and made everything screwed up. She is pure evil, and all of Teck crew will agree with me. Duty calls so I'll try and post later. |

I'm at school now, yea I know it sucks to be at school at 6 in the morning, but that's how it goes. I'm glad that this is my senior year, but its kind of stressful. I've been accepted to college and all, but the preparation is a bit tough. My mom decided that I get to pay for my college tuition all by myself. Oh Joy. SO It sucks because I've been losing sleep over this, and sleep is a very precious thing for me.
I just realized that today is Valentine's Day. It doesn't mean that much to me since I don't have anyone to share it with. My best friend has a girlfriend that he's madly in love with, which is cool for him. And I think most of my other friends are going stag for the moment. Personally, I'm not fond of most holidays. My dad left during the winter of my sophmore year, just before christmas. That was probably the worst thing that happened to me. I got to visit him that christmas, the following christmas and the past summer. It was nice seeing him, but it only made me miss him more. My dad has been a great source of help for me in the past few years. He always is willing to help with my problems.
Sorry about skipping around, my mind is kind of wandering this morning,
It sucks being the youngest out of a group of friends. Most of my friends are in college now. I hate them all for it 'cause they rub it in my face every chance they get. My best friend Frost, can be a real pain sometimes. All of those that are reading this and know him, know what I'm talking about. He never picks up his phone or calls you when he says he will. I can't count the number of times he's had to cancel the plans he's made with me because something came up. If I get a phone call on a day that we have plans I know that he's cancelling them. It's funny that I know all these secrets about him, and he has none. If we got it to a contest of black-mail I'd beat him hands down. I don't know what he has on me, but it can't be that bad since I don't do a lot of bad things.
My mom is definitely an interesting person. She has a very bi-polar personality. One minute she'll be all buddy buddy, and the next she'll be very strict about something. I don't interact with her a lot, she's always out or doing something and I'm normally home because all my friends live far away. I'm glad I don't have to interact with her a lot. I never had a real relationship with her so it's not like we know each other, we just live in the same house. That is good and bad. The fact that I have no real mother figure kind of screws up all of my relationships with girls. Its a bit more complicated than that, but thats okay.
I've got to go work in the kitchen now, so i'll post sometime later. |

I've never written something without a real purpose before. Normally I'm writing for the story that I have on other journals. I have a lot of problems in my life just like most people, but I have a way of making them seem more difficult. I guess I should give you a brief history before I start to lay down all my problems.
I moved around a lot when I was a kid. I didn't stay in a school for more than two years. I hated moving because all the friends I would make would be gone instantly. The first best friend I can clearly remember is my friend Cole. He's great, we stuck together from fourth grade to our freshmen year of high school, when he moved down to Florida. We talk every now and then and I occasionally get to see him.
Anyway... In fifth grade I moved into the house I'm currently in now. Its kind of sad now that I think about it, because this house is going to be torn down in June. The first house I get to have memories in is torn down, yipee. I hated going through middle school, I was a bit of an outcast until my eighth grade year. That's when I started interacting with girls.
Life was okay til I got to high school. I knew the high school very well 'cause my grandmother worked there. Calvert Hall is a great school, but like any high scholl it has it's ups and downs.
I'm getting hungry now, so I'm going to ravage my house for food, and hopefully I'll get back on this website later. |
