Well...

I say hello to anyone who's listening...

I don't get it. We're heading into summer and more time on everybody's hands (most everybody that is) and yet the blogger community around me has... well, decided it wanted to move on. (note: this excludes JCP and Ellentia--who have both been hanging around the place for quite a while. thanks) So I will post what I can think of for those few who are still watching.

Random thought #1: Is it just me, or has the entire idea of a "blog" died away in this country? Or at least you don't see nearly as many reports about "bloggers say X" or "bloggers think Y is cool, but Z is out". Coincidence? Perhaps, perhaps not. Perhaps it's my imagination.

Somewhat random thought #2: Bummer. It just left my mind.

Recent events:
Last night was fun. The Reese's had a 50's party. For the first two hours, it was talk and eat and a couple competitions. For the rest of the time (until around 10PM) people were dancing to 50's music and talking.
But even before that, there was a "crawfish boil" out at Fern Lake. One of Dad's hospital "parties". The best part about it was the food. Good food, and lots of it, in many different kinds. But that was nothing compared to the Sock Hop.

Ummm...

These weeks are almost hard on me. I know, I can't complain, especially after hearing what college students are going through. Trust me, I haven't a clue what it means to be bogged down by "all that work", but you have my sympathy.
Even after that disclaimer, I will say that my Algebra 2 is getting annoying. Circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas are apparently a section that nobody likes. I certainly don't.

As the summer goes on, I find that I can be home on weekends more and more. I suppose you heard about the fiasco of spring debating? Gone or sick almost every weekend. I start to miss listening to pastor Mark's sermons, even if they are long. More weekends means more working out to try to be ready for Double H wilderness in New Mexico. They drop us in the middle of nowhere, let us hike around for a week, then pick us up again. It's supposed to be a lot of fun. I really hope so.

Ok, so I need to get off now, mostly because I can't type forever and my source of info starts to get tired of typing. Farewell.

Another month passes

It is now past the end of April! Yippeee!

Big whoop.

So for the most important thing right now, I just want to say to anyone who gets caught, "White Rabbit".

Where to begin? It's really been a long month. And yet a short one at that. So perhaps I should start with the 21st.

My birthday. And yet still Dad made me mow the lawn and go up and down stairs and ramps and around in circles at the SFA stadium. Sure I got some good presents. Gus sent me a card (with valuables in it!), my sisters got me a Sony E003F (go look it up Shadow--for the rest of you, it's an mp3 player/fm tuner), Mom and Dad got me a... something off of my wishlist (hasn't yet been gotten), Aunt Susan sent a coupla nice shirts--that fit!--anyone I missed? Snail mail takes too long. It just does.

So the week after, I got to go to another debate tournament, only this one I didn't have to compete in. This was the Regional Invitational (the region being Texas, Arkansas, and New Mexico--I think). So I mostly sat around and watched :D Joshua Jones got 8th in the region!!! And another person from my debate club got 2nd in the region!!! Unfortunately, they only gave 4 slots for people to go to nationals. So only one person from WHSDC (debate club in Houston that I'm working with) went to Nationals. But that's still impressive!

Do I need to write anybody some emails? I guess I have a few emails sitting in the inbox that might need to be re-read. Och. So TTFN. Toodles. G'bye. Farewell.
