Hi everybody, I am a day behind, and I really haven't written in a while, but I thought I would write about Wednesday because it was one of the best days of my life.

The morning was basically the same old boring stuff. Went to school. Did that. Quite boring. Then went to lunch. We had a debate about how to spell the word vacuum. We all said it was vacuum, but Lindsey was convinced that it was vacuume. So, I called Clairissa, and she confirmed that it was vacuum. We talked about other stuff too. Then I went to gym. Weight lifting. It was really hard after spring break. I guess all that sitting on the couch was bad for me. then I had spanish. it was a big yawn fest. but at least it is over.

This is where it gets good.

I took ryan's bike so that I could get home fast. I told Clairissa I would try to be at her house by 3:00. School ends at 2:45, and I needed a shower. So I basically killed myself trying to bike home at the speed of light. I got home, took shower, looked at clock, 2:53, a new record. But I didn't have time to celebrate. Suddenly realized that my mom wasn't in the house at all. And we needed to leave immediatley to get there on time. So, I called her cell phone, it rang about a million times, and then she finally picked up. She said she would be home in 5 mins, it was now 3:00. I went and sat in the front yard and waited. She got home at 3:04. I dove into the car, and we drove. We got to Clairissa's around 3:15. Her mom came out, and I went in to find my best buddy. I found her in the kitchen. She looked really good. She had just had pictures taken the other day, and they were on the table. She gave me one, and I put it in my wallet. (It's a really good picture) Then we went out and got in the car. We drove downtown to the big fancy denver arts center. We waited in line for quite a while at the ticket booth. I kept looking around for my english teacher, cuz she always seems to show up at plays that I am going to. Really weird. Anywho, we stood together in line for a really long time, and it was really fun just talking with Clairissa. We finally got our tickets and went down to the 16th street mall for dinner. We got on the bus that the mall has, and rode around looking for somewhere to eat. We decided on the Hard Rock Cafe. In fact, we decided right when we were at that stop. So while we were getting off, the doors were closing and the bus was going to the next stop. Naturally, I was unable to get back on the bus once the doors had closed, so I chased after the bus until the next stop. I actually kept pretty good time. Then we went to Hard Rock and sat by the Elvis wall. I was wearing my Twinkie shirt, and the waitress kept telling me how cool it was. (pretty much every time she came to the table). We ate. I had a bacon cheese burger. My mom said that I needed to adventure more. Then I left my Twinkie shirt as the waitress's tip. (It was too small anyway) I am planning on going to target over the weekend to buy some more shirts with random products on them. We rode the bus back to our stop, and I didn't have to chase it this time. Then we went inside.

The play was "The Merchant of Venice" It is an awesome good play for those of you who haven't seen it. (especially if you go with your best friend.) Go see it now. It's good. GO.

Then we got out of the play, and walked back to the car. And drove home. Clairissa, said that she acts slap happy when she is tired, but I thought she was cute. We got back to her house, and I had to say goodbye. Then my mom explained all about how it is possible to spend to much time with girls and that it is a big thing, and I need to be a gentleman. I told her that I always was a gentleman, and she could ask anyone. She said she knew. (but it was still really annoying) We got home. I sat on the computer and talked to Clairissa. Then I had to log off, so I talked to Clairissa on the phone. We talked till about midnight, and then I went to bed.

It was such a good day it almost felt like it was just a good dream. And that was just the basics, I left some part out.

spanish word of the day: el vacío (vacuum)

Quote of the day: "It is probably the best library on this side of the Mississippi" (guy in front of us in ticket line)

Today.

Monday? is it monday? Tuesday? monday


ok monday.

I am up at my brother John's (in ft. collins). He was at work today, so I basically just hung out. I watched some downloaded simpsons episodes on the computer. I slept alot. ate oven pizza. watched Grosse Point Blank. Watched the "Upright Citizens Brigade - Season 1" DVD. Slept. ate an apple. slept. john got home. we went to the ice house. (it is a hockey shop) john bought a new stick, blade, and a puck. then we went to the dollar store. I almost bought a dart crossbow, but didn't think it was worth the dollar. I would probably break it. then we went to dinner, at big city burrito with dannf and my other brother matt. freakin awesome burrito. quite good. Now we are at dannf's house watching a movie. not very exciting to read about, sorry. I will try and do something exciting tomorrow. my goal is to actually post something interesting enough for people to comment on it. So, if you like something, let me know.

ok. I am poor. can't afford premium. You saw what the message used to be:

You've just been given a FREE trial of Xanga Premium .

There are 1 days left in your FREE trial. Don't worry - you won't be charged anything to use it, and at the end of the free trial your xanga site will *automatically* revert back to the free xanga classic settings. But if you like premium and decide you want to keep it, just click here anytime to upgrade!

Today it simply said:

Thanks!

this made me feel kinda guilty. It is kinda like those public tv people who say:

"people who watch public tv without pledging money are theives and liars." "if you are watching this without pledging any money, you are a theif" "pledge now get a free tote bag!" "pledge now at the $100 level and get an umbrella featuring a picture of the free tote bag"

O well. xanga peeps still aren't getting my money. (I love how they are trying to trick you into making me get premium. Look at the top of your page. Look at the title:

ok today we were going to do this fundrasier for my mission trip to Belize over the summer. We were going to go distrubute phone books to peeps houses. I woke up early because mike was going to pick me up. I went downstairs. found chocolate on counter. looked good. took piece. ate it. tasted gross. swallowed anyway. watched arthur while reading the chocolate box. realized that the box said "Illegal to sell to minors under the age of 21." realized that the chocolates were filled with tequila. Mike came. I got in his truck. I said "Mike, watch out, I may be intoxicated." Then I made some joke about how I might be an alcoholic considering it was only 8:15 in the morning. we went to the church. then went to the phone book place. nobody there. decided to go to my house and have eggs. went to albertsons. bought eggs and junk. went to mi casa. made eggs. they were good. Jono yelled at me over the phone when I told him the eggs were good. (apparently he doesn't like his school's food) we decided we should go to a movie. we drove to the church. we drove to elvis cinemas. we drove to bowles crossing. we drove and drove and drove. we sat in the bowles crossing parking lot for 15 min listening to dashboard confessional. we drove some more. we went to nathans. we went to mindy's apartment. while there, we watched the lizzie maguire movie. then went to chipoltle. while there, we debated on whether or not certain customers were gay. we left. we honked at random people and waved. nathan showed some excellent road rage, (especially considering he wasn't driving.) we then drove up next to these two guys.

Hannah said, "I think those guys might be gay"

Chelsea replies " really? cuz I was just considering spending the rest of my life with one of them."

we then proceeded to follow the "gay" car into a neighborhood, all the way to the driveway of their house. (hannah was driving, none of this was my fault)

Hannah: I'm so embarrassed (then she honked the horn at them)

we then went back to my house. they dropped me off. Nathan wore a blue jumpsuit. We made fun of him all day.

I got home.

sat here.

ate dinner.

sat here.

wrote this.

(considering this is after I wrote this I really don't know, but I would assume next is: sat here)

did science (maybe)

went to bed (maybe)

Quote of the day: "I think those guys are gay" "really? cuz I was just considering spending the rest of my life with one of them." or " Gordo, god among men." or "so, wanna teach me to make out? " (long story) or "she totally freak out"

- Perfect (wow this is depressing) - -

hi, I am getting really bad at this whole "don't forget to write for 6 days" thing. I would try to remember what I did the past couple of days, but that would hurt my brain, so I am not even going to attempt it. So, these are the major occurances that took place on those days that I have missed. In no particular order, just as I think of them. I can remember the quote of the day for at least two of the days because I actually wrote it down. So I think it was wednesday was: "Boy, that is a floppy dollar if I have ever seen one" or "GEORGE FORMAN, GEORGE FORMAN!" and thursday was "lindsay can't get me a fork, she has a crush on me."

Now I know you are all going to have questions on what those quotes mean. So here we go.

Story 1: Boy that is a floppy dollar if I have ever seen one.

Once upon a time, jimbo baggins was sitting at lunch. The kind next to him took a dollar out of his wallet. He then realized that it was very floppy. "Boy that is a floppy dollar if I have ever seen one," he said. "I concur." said jimbo. and they lived happily ever after.

Story 2: GEORGE FORMAN, GEORGE FORMAN!

One day, while sitting at lunch jimbo baggins and his friends were doing their homework. Ben had to list things that people have in their homes, and where they are made. We were all suggesting things that we had in our homes. I think grant wanted him to put down "george forman grill," but only got out "GEORGE FORMAN, GEORGE FORMAN!" while pointing rediculously.

Story 3: Lindsay can't get me a fork, she has a crush on me!

ok, this one actually has a story behind it. thursday was the last day of school before valentines day. The school senate was doing these orange crush thingies. Basically you pay 50 cents, and the senate will take some sort of super awesome lovey dovey sort of thing to your crush while they are in class. I wasn't really expecting one. and didn't get one. but during 2nd period, sam and I both found a can of sunkist on our desk. The sunkist had been written on with sharpie so it now said, sunkiss. came with a note that said:

Jim~

Hey! What's up? Now, I know this isn't an orange crush. Don't be dissapointed because this is even better! It's a sun kiss!! Anyway we (yes there is more than one of us) just wanted to let you know that you are a totally cute, cool, amazing kid that's so much fun to hang out with. Well now that you know that be sure to ENJOY your sunkiss!

I thought that was pretty cool. Anyway, like I said, sam got one too. same handwriting on the note and everything. So, they were obviously from the same person/people. Anyway, I basically already knew who it was. But sam decided he was going to do some hardcore snooping. At lunch time his principal suspect was eva. then it switched to lindsay (lindsey?) She told him that it wasn't her. And then said what can I do to prove it to you? He said get me a fork. So all three girls at the table left to get forks. eva came back holding forks for all three of them. She put them on the table. "this one is for me, this one is for erin, and this one is for lindsay." Sam then exclaimed "No, Lindsay can't get me a fork cuz she has a crush on me!" So, that is the story behind that. I eventually did find out who sent the note, but I am not going to post it, cuz I am not sure if that would be embarrassing or not.

Anyway, Thursday I had a sore throat, but the sunkist helped. I had forgotten how good orange soda was. I also got some fun dip. and a valentine from schwartz. (for those of you who don't know, schwartz is my drama teacher.) I thought it was cool that she actually made valentines for all her students. That is alot of vtines. cuz she teaches english too! Went to sam's at about 9ish, and played medal of honor with sam, tyler, and davy until about 11ish. Then I went home and slept. and God saw that this was good, and there was morning and there was evening, the 4th day.

ok Friday.

No school today. President's day weekend. good old presidents. Don't ever say that they didn't do nothing for the peoples. So today, I was planning to go to a movie with clairissa. I was also planning to go to a play with the parentals, and band practice with ryan and tom.

Hey! guess what! Ever since I was little, I wanted to be in a band. Actually I didn't want to be in a band until like a year or two ago. but anywho. ryan and tom and I have formed a band. We are auditioning for the talent show on march 4th or 5th. I play bass guitar. This is quite funny considering I have never played bass guitar in my entire life. Maybe we will get a song with keyboard in there somewhere too. Then I could show my real expertise. But tom has taught me three bass guitar chords (that's more than many rockstars know) and now we have one whole song for memory. It is called "TheWayImightDo" by Tom. It is actually pretty good. Tom impressed me. so, if we make it into the talent show, you all have to come see us. Our band is named Sunday Morning Bru. I think we are going to be pretty good. We need to find a song with keyboard though, cuz that would be awesome. Cuz I feel like kind of a loser when I just strum on every fourth beat. Who can't do that? but it is still cool to be able to say "I'm with the band"

so, I called clairissa in the morning, and we realized that it was going to be extrememly hard to find a good time to go to the movie. She had to watch her little brother and sister until three and I had to go reherse with tom and ryan sometime. My mom was gone somewhere, so I had to keep talking to clairissa and then calling mom to confirm, and then calling clairissa to tell that mom disapproved, and then calling mom back with new plan, and then calling clairissa to tell her that that plan was shot down too. Eventually we decided that a movie wasn't going to workout. So, I invited her to come with the parentals and me to the play. "How to succeed in Business Without Really Trying" I had to call the ticket people like a bagillion times, but eventually got another ticket that was next to our season tickets. Thanks ticket people! The play was really good, and it was fun hanging out with clairissa. Mom warned me about how dating was bad for me, and I rememinded her that clairissa and I were just friends and she should really not freak out so much.

My mom told me that I should go to old ivy university. Actually her exact words were, "You would make a good groundhog." What in the heck does that mean? is it a compliment? I dunno. Very confused. I got girl scout cookies from Clairissa, yum.

So, while rehersing with tom and ryan, I fricken rocked. They both thought it was cool that I picked it up so fast, but I guess I am just brilliant. So we now have our first song memorized. We recorded it on tom's computer. Ryan took a seat off of a bicycle and put it on his drum chair. then put the drum chair top on tom's workout bike. Then it got stuck. We finally got it off. It was funny. We had pizza. quite good. Decided that maybe we should try and find another song to play at talent show. But it is hard to find stuff that you can play with only three people. (especially when the bass only has 5 hours of experience)

That was basically friday.

Quote for friday was "rip! rip! rip, those chipmunks off the field!" or "Jim would make a good ground hog." or "with kazzaa on, the recording sounds like crap. Excellent"

Saturday. Valentine's day. Bleech! I can't say that I felt lonley today, because I really don't want (or need) a girlfriend, so there is really no reason to feel bad. But the thought of everybody else out doing lovey dovey stuff while I was shoveling the patio/ sweeping the garage/ cleaning my room/ taking out the trash, was kinda annoying. But I'll get over it. Went to a movie with Sharon and Steve today. Miracle. It was good. Finally they have made a hockey movie that isn't a major disgrace. I am not saying I didn't enjoy the Mighty Ducks I, II, and III, but they were a little unbelievable. It was a good movie. I came home. Had dinner. dipped my steak in ranch dressing. Parents thought I was weird. Had never tried it. Looked good. Is good. plan on doing it again. dad told me how he used to put maple syrup on bacon. Have to try that sometime. Now my parents are watching some movie that they watched when they were first newlyweds or something. Bleech! Anyway, that was my vtines day. Sorry not more interesting.

Current Mood: confused (what is with all this valentine's day stuff?)

Current Mood of the rest of the world: lovey dovey

O, I forgot, I watched Rambo today. Thought I would get rid of all the love with some plotless action. Worked pretty well.

quote of the day : "I plan to find any and all of St. Valentine's kin and assassinate them" -Shannon

spanish word of the day: corazon (I think it means heart)

ok bye!

Hi everyone,

I am a little behind. Actually, three fricken days. It is really getting hard to remember what I did over the past few days. So, I will try my best.

Monday.

Pretty self explanitory. Went to school today. came home. had a piano lesson. piano lesson was good. Found out I have piano achevement day (master class) and a concert on the same day. That is going to be uber-bad. I had to call the scouts for almost the final time. That's right, on the 17th, I will no longer be in control. Thank goodness.

Tuesday.

Today, I went to school again. if you haven't figured this out, I do it fairly regularly. It was quite a good day. This poet came into our english class and taught us about modern poetry. It is really weird. You do things like take every 5th word out of the dictionary. Or go around and have people write phrases and then combine them with popular books. Here are some examples: (this is from peoples phrases, random phrases, and a story about a lady that broke her pelvis)

The fish is in the tree,

and where, where does the tiger buy

the tree was so tall, it seemed to scrape the sky

Hey, I am writing this at church so I have to go home. I will finish it there.
