Yes yes, i am indeed alive and well; excuse the lack of updates on this pitiful soul's weblog. Mario has made everything else in my life obsolete; I've gone into the "eat, sleep, breathe, and think" mario phase which i haven't wholly experienced for over 6 years. I'm overdue so excuse me if i talk with any of you and randomly bring up mario, drift off into thoughts of mario, or begin answering your questions with "woo! wahoo! hooah! woohee!" and such. I'm not joking when i mean this is easily the most fun i've had with a game on the Gamecube yet, although Super Monkey Ball's multiplayer holds it's own on my favorites list. I'm 21 shines into the game and savor every moment i'm immersed by the world. It pulls me in as only a Shigeru Miyamoto game can.... anybody who's ever played a mario game for any period of time knows what i'm talking about. It's just so FUN you can't let go. Yeah, so then, mario is fun blah blah best game ever blah blah nobody reads this blog blah blah blah......

I bet you all are incredibly interested in the fact that i'm not FAILING high school so far! A's and B's on all tests so far....wonder how long i can keep it up. I feel sorta sorry for our Geometry teacher Mr. Lupien. He's faced with the impossible task of keeping everybody's attention in class by making things interesting and stuff, which we all know isn't possible with math. We were doing truth table "relays" to see who could produce one the fastest for jeebus sake..... Oh well I guess it could be worse hehe. French is awesome aslaslaslasl.

So the world turns much like it has for the past few months.........life goes on nothing too ground shattering. We're going to Mr. Cooke's beach house again in a few weeks i think...sweetness. Ok well since you know that i'm not dead i'm going back to playing mario.....SHINE GET!

Wellity, I have successfully survived my first day as a freshy in High School. The previous night i guess the rising seniors decided to throw themselves a little party, toilet papering all the trees and writing over every square inch of cement and brick outside. Ketchup on the benches, signs taped in windows......fun stuff. I found my way around the campus easy enough.....Didn't really get lost or anything. All the teachers are great too, at least so far..... I'd have to say my Advanced Biology teacher, Mr. Caudill is the most humorous and enjoyable, but Mr. Jessee is borderlining a good teacher. If you ever needed a case for a person who's overly enthusiastic about HS english, this man would be it. He's dripping with drama, and it's already starting to get on my nerves, however. Hopefully he'll mellow out before the semester is out.

It's already apparent that I'll be needing to make lots of new friends while i'm here. The friends I have that are going to Cary are few and far between, not to mention the chicks here are beautiful.... one of them has to be waiting for me...hehe. Sucks that I'm not athletic and that all the clubs looks boring to me. Maybe i'll join yearbook club if i can....who knows. Maybe tommorow i'll just randomly sit down with a bunch of people and start chatting.....ya never know.

I ran into a few people who i hadn't seen in a while. Most notably was Lan Le, any of the you people from Morrisville Elem. will remember her. Lmao she instantly recognized me and after a second i remembered who she was. I could see myself chatting with her more often

You know when you are working on that gigantic 2000 piece gigsaw puzzle with your grandma and you get to that last piece? How of course it doesn't fit into the puzzle, no matter how much you try to mash it in there by brute force? Well that's sorta how i'm feeling about high school.....I don't think that i'll be able to fit in and find my group of friends no matter how you look at it. Let's see.....i'm not goth, punk, emo, preppy, jock, geeky (perhaps just a bit...), or anything else. It's.....it's all just a big mess. Haha, i'm afraid of what will happen if i be myself. on second thought, screw it I don't need to be 'accepted' by any group or try to fit in with anybody. I feel sorta sorry for christina because her parents are trying to shape her into something different than what she really is. I wonder how long she'll tolerate it.....or perhaps i'm all wrong and she likes trying to be all 'popular' and stylish and friends with everybody and stuff. She's having fun though so what does it matter? I don't know, i guess to be honest i don't care what she does as long as it's not goth....for god's sake not goth!

Don't get the idea here that i think it's all going to be a total drag, i have a few good classes and none of the teachers i met briefly today seemed cruel and unusual. Well, at least not cruel. I just don't want to start drifting away from all the friends i already made the past years at school. Who knows, maybe there's a girl i'll meet there who instantly connects with me and we could go on dates and have a great time together.....eheheh, nevermind. who knows, who cares? HS is my stepping stone into college which is the ultimate goal before a CAREER, so i better make the best of it, academically and socially. oh, and what the hell is a CARY IMP?????

painted Nathan's mom's fence today.....got 30 bucks instead of 60 cuz a few more people decided to help. I guess i don't mind because i probably would have helped her with it for free. The sooner i find a real job with hours and such to fund myself the better. A license would be nice too, if only i got off my butt and took a CLASS. Actually, what would driving help me if i don't have my own car? bah, too much stuff to worry about.......time to go back to resting before school starts. **wishes his hot tub was up and running** later folks.

Alright, so I can't help the fact that I'm an uber-lazy person. Forgive me, I have other things on my mind, like savoring the last few days I have of break before school starts up again. Christina's apparently made 4123423 friends at band camp and says i'll fit right in with the people at the school, but I'm not so sure...... :-/

Her and I talked for the longest time last night on the phone, at least 3-4 hours. Her attitude's completely changed, it's like HS worked some sort of spell on her so she's not depressed or anything like that anymore. Her life isn't the mess it used to be, and I can't be happier for her. I can't think of a single other person (other than April) that I would want to spend my years at Cary HS with, to be honest. I was listening to her when I suddenly remembered how much i really do care for this girl and how lucky I am to have her as a friend. It's hard to put into words exactally what I felt, sort of a realization of a few unspoken things. I probably sound like i'm crazy. I sure am crazy.

..
I'm biting my fingernails and counting down the days (23!) until my greasy little hands rip that Super Mario Sunshine disc out of that case and lovingly snap it into my gamecube to immerse myself in complete and utter gaming bliss. This will be the best game for gamecube yet, no doubts in my mind. I have freaking DREAMS about this game for christ's sake, I can't stop thinking about it. I have started adding mario's "yah! wohoo! beyahoo! yippee!" yells to the activities I do in everyday life. Seriously. If i don't get this game soon i'll freakin keel over and die. Being the big platformer buff I am, i've been waiting the entire 6 years since Super Mario 64 for this. The 27th of August is completely devoted to Mario, all other things come first.
..

Until inspiration strikes me, I won't really try to fiddle with the layout of the blog too much. Something will strike me soon though, promise! Just like that promise i made that the blog would be revamped by this weekend......eeeeeeeeyah whatever James. If you'll excuse me, i have to move a boat and eat some waffles. No that is not some weird metaphore.
