"I saw a man lying on the street half dead,
He had knives and forks sticking out of his leg...
He said, Ahh... ahh... ahh! Ahh... aaawww...
Can somebody get the knife and fork out of my leg, please!
[Ooh, could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees]"
Ugh, it's only Wednesday, and I'm already tired from band camp.
Monday wasn't bad... well, yes it was. I realized I'm so out of shape I can't do more than 20 pushups at one time. Also, when we do stretches, I can't reach my toes at all. The whole time we stretch I'm like, "Too fat. Can't reach." And then we do breathing excersizes... and like, wow. I never knew you could feel so bad about breathing. We breath until we are light headed (which doesn't make sense for me since like, I play cymbals...).
THEN we go to march. I have to hand it to myself, for a newbie marcher, I'm pretty good at it. I knew how to roll-step instantly, and I'm excellent at distancing myself and whatnot. But the posture is what gets me, it's hard to keep your posture straight. Srsly. And while carrying cymbals it's hard after 3 hours of straight marching, cause they get heavy... And they're already pretty heavy to start with.
So at around 12 we have lunch. Nothing special there...
Then at 1 we start playing music. But the thing is, she takes percussion out and makes us go somewhere else. Like, with any other normal drum-line that'd be fine, but we can't get our acts together when we are alone. It's not us as a whole, it's like 3 of our members...
And one of our two snare players quit, so now we only have one, and personally I think we should have two instead of one and four basses... But that's me.
The songs we are doing are House of the Rising Sun, Get it On (some 70's jam), our Percussion Feature is called Strut (it's hard...), and this other song called Incantation. I've got House memorised so that's good.
Also: SUNBURN! My neck is SO red right now, but my arms are going to tan. Today I'm totally wearing a collar...
MY ABS! THEY BURN!,

Friday. (The 25th.)
I went to a LAN party! For those of you who know not what a LAN party is, it's where a bunch of nerds like me get together at some person's house, and hook all of our computers up. We play party games and whatnot, and enjoy each other's company.
It was actually a pretty slow day, nothing was outstanding about it, but the games were fun.
We played-
+Halo
+Star Wars Battlefront
+Nox
+Warcraft III: Frozen Throne
+Atomic Bomberman (FTW!)
...Actually we played in reverse order, I don't know why it came out like that.
So, starting with Bomberman, that was just a game to pass the time between 5 of us as the other 3 people were coming. I wasn't too shabby, but I did end up making a lot of suicide runs, killing myself along with others. XD
Warcraft I had never played, so I thought I'd suck it up. I did mostly, but I eventually got the hang of it. We played Enfos (which is like, this... arena type game, it's cool.) for most of the time, and I ended up tanking the entire time. But then we played a round of RTS, and everyone thought I was a noob at that... but I came back and killed everyone. Who da mastah?!
Nox was interesting, but we didn't play it long because one of the Playable Characters has an instant kill skill, which takes the fun out of it.
SW: Battlefront was... well I wouldn't know. My computer wouldn't run it. I don't understand why but I can't get it to hook up properly to the LAN connection. I'll get the stages loaded but it'll tell me that the connection gets lost. Dunno...
Halo... is always fun. I usually stink at it, but it was great. I ended up coming back in that game too, and beating everyone down. Twas awesome.
Then we came home... and it was like 6 by the time that happened. Wewt!

Alright, so yesterday was Friday, right? Well my friend Chris has been gone for a while (4 days... not a while I'm exaggerating.), and I've had nothing to do (EXCEPT EAT AN ENTIRE BAG OF DORITOES ><). Anyway. Friday at around 3, Daniel O. picked me up and we went to a friend's house. We chilled for a while, waiting for some more people to show up and stuff, and then we headed out for Huntsville.
I bet you're wondering, where is Huntsville and
* insert sound effect here *
Eh, cause we wanted to. Well, more like, I wanted to.
RIGHT. We went there because I had planned on going to see Dark Knight, and I wanted to see it at this totally awesome theater called The Monoco, which FAR beyond normal theater quality. The Monoco is at the end of this mall (technically a mall, it's more like a long street with random stores on the way to The Monoco theater...) called Bridge Street, which has a lot of fancy stores and doodads and stuffs.
Here's where I have to sidetrack. Last time I went here I never posted an entry mostly because I had 3 other days of happenings (THAT YOU'LL NEVER FIND OUT ABOUT - except you Kristen, cause you rock) and stuff that I was too full to write down. If you don't get what I mean, go read paragraph one. Oh, sorry, I was sidetracked. Back to the original one. I was walking down Bridge Street just for fun (we went to... some place in Huntsville? I forget) and like this guy was on the street, doin' his Hustle and stuff you know? Let me go into detail. You know what I'm talking about, street performers and stuff. Anyway, he was just a guy, out of nowhere he pulls out these balloons, and all these kids gathered. I was one of them. He blew up his balloons and started forming them into some divine art form... such a simple craft. So he was making these things balloons for free, and just like started making all sorts of animals and objects. I felt really awesome watching him do his thing, so I dropped him some greens, a five. I smiled at him and left. We turned around later because it was the end of the street, and walked back, and when I met up with him again he was still making his balloons. I dropped him fifteen more and told him "Keep it up man, it's classy." And gave him a cheesy grin. He shook my hand and he had a buzzer on it. It hurt, but I laughed at him and walked on.
Did you enjoy that? Back to Friday. We, our group of five, head down to The Monoco and decide to buy our tickets. Well, we simpletons aren't so knowledgeable of new technology in movie theater history. We can barely work a DVD player, give us a break. So we get up to the area where you buy tickets (it's not a window, it was like a bar with four or five people to buy tickets from in the building) and I see there's a screen, and I just ignored it. Well it was connected to the register apparently, because when the lady put the money in the screen lit up, and showed a diagram of the theater that had open seats. I stood there waiting for my ticket. The lady goes, "Uhm, pick your seat..."
WHAT?
Apparently, you have to PREORDER your seat in this theater. Luck for us, there were five seats not taken. ONLY FIVE. We got the last tickets to that showing of Dark Knight at that time. But get this, they were all adjacent in some manner. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! My luck was on a roll that night.
Well, turns out we had about 45 minutes to spare. Everyone was hungry... So we went to eat. But what, you may ask, what did you engorge this time? Well, it was a pizza. Not an entire pizza, but it might as well have been. It was this place called Tony's Pizza, where they make the za as big as 21' in diameter. Wowzers. I could barely eat one piece, but I had to take one for the team and eat two. The pizza wasn't normal, we couldn't have meat because two of our members were veggieheads. We decided on this thing called "White Pizza" (Why's it gotta be white?!) which is like, Some kind of cheese for replacement of Tomato sauce, and another kind of cheese, and spinach and garlic.
I know what you're thinking. I'm telling you it was the best pizza I've ever consumed in my entire life as a 16 year old child. No jokes.
Now onto the jokes.
We saw Dark Knight. That's all I can tell you because even attempting to express my emotions for that film would be a terrific spoiler. I couldn't contain my joy, excitement, anger, fear, and sorrow, leading me to further spoil the movies by explaining why those emotions are present.
So you'll have to see it yourself,
Morrowlife.
...
JOKING! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.
Nah it was a great movie. A few plot twists were necessary and made the movie even more epic. I'd have to say if Heath Ledger doesn't win an Oscar for this performance I'm taking action.
After the movie, it was like... 10? Anyway, we decided to head over to someone's house I don't know. We played some DnD and I had just enough time to make a character and be introduced. Sweetness. Especially because after I was carried home, I got something while in Proxy (someone took over my character in my absence) that really sounds awesome. WOOTZOR?!
And today I worked on someone's yard.

I watched the entire series of TTGL, or, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
To leave it spoiler free, I can't tell you anything.

IT WAS AWESOME.
To tell the truth, it was the first anime that has made me cry. I have been crying since the past 6 episodes, and I feel good about it. It's good to get that off your chest.
I'm going to get the soundtrack from my friend, to continue my passion for this anime.
Peace!

So here's something cool I just did:
(http://www.personalitytest.net)
It's a pretty neat personality test. I was suprised to find out that some of the questions were slightly hard for me to answer! I was really interested in it, and it was nice thing to do when bored. Just skip all the fancy talk and go straight to where it says "Take the test!"
Here's my answer, I find it strangely accurate!

Another thing I did was play a game called Free Rider 2. It's SO FUN. It's a game like Line Rider, except you can actually control your little dude on the bike. It's pretty addictive!

Okay! Here's the game. You are inspired to create a comic book about me. (I stole this idea from Fuu.) Answer the following in a comment:
1. What am I? A hero, or a villian?
2. What is my super name?
3. What are my powers?
4. What is my weakness/my weaknesses?
5. What is my goal?

When it comes to sleep, if I didn't have enough sleep the night before, I will NOT be able to go to sleep until I'm EXTREMELY tired. Therefore, the only way to continue on a somewhat regular sleep time, I have to wake up still tired.
This leaves me with a really bad time during the summer, because I can never sleep on time... FOR EXAMPLE.
Monday: went to sleep at 2am.
Tuesday: woke up at 4pm, fully rested.
Wednesday: went to sleep at 1pm, woke up at 10pm.
Thursday... Today. IT'S WEIRD.
In other news... and my main inspiration for creating this blog...
LUCKY STAR. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this term... it's an anime. A REALLY REALLY CUTE ANIME. That happens to be very random and hilarious.
But MY favorite part of this show... is the Opening theme. IT'S ADORABLE. Probably one of my favorite anime tunes. It's called Take It! My Sailor Uniform. All main characters from the anime's voice actresses + others sing it.
So I'm going to give you a You-Tube link to the video, and you can hear it, and then I'll give you the English Translation! <3 But first, there are some notes from AnimeLyrics.com that you should know because you won't get the references unless you do.
NOTES:
There are tons of wordplay and puns in the song that probably died during the translation.
The 3cm refers to the gap between the bottom of the sailor uniform shirt and the top of the uniform skirt, which is caused by the uniform wearer getting fat, therefore exposing skin that is ’squishy’.
Tonkotsu is a type of Japanese soup made with pork bones and usually used as a stock.
Strangely enough, the ‘…’ in “Yeah! The feeling of existence…asteroids” are sung.
‘Sirenger’ is a game term. In the game ‘Fuurai no Siren’, there’s a type of characters known as ‘Sirenger’.
Soran Bushi is a type of traditional song and dance from Hokkaido, Japan.

So in the anime, they do this dance for the OP. It's a really cute dance. Anyway, I also found this video where these guys called the Zombies mimic famous group dances, and they mimed the Lucky Star dance perfectly!
Here's the actual Lucky Star one... (Actually the last Lucky Star Episode, where they dance it. But there's one on the OP of the show as well.)

So... NOTHING happened today. That is, nothing happened to me. It seems today was so inactive for me, that everyone else decided to have a nice and fun time while I stayed home and died a little more on the inside. WHOOP. So... I think I'll chatter about things I thought about today. Ramblings of anything that came/comes to mind. Have fun reading?
To start off, I woke up without thought, and walked all the way to the sunroom (my second room) without hitting any walls. I was suprised, partly because I had my eyes closed the entire time. I even opened the door with them closed, and only opened them after I sat down at my computer. It took me ten minutes, COUNT THEM, TEN, to get them open. I totally freaked. Then I realized I forgot to take out my contacts, which took me a while to get out, further complicating my panic.
Hours later, I was angry cause there was no internet. So I tried dial up, and remembered I hate dial up, so I got off. I spent the entire day further lurking the house, looking for activities. Nothing came to mind.
Okay, so here's what I feel like talking about right now:
Am I the only teenager who does not want to be in a relationship right now?
I'd like to point out the previous statement, and make sure you read it twice before reading ahead. Go on, read it.
It's true, I don't want to be in a couple. Is something wrong with that? People talk to me about who they like, and people talk to me about their partner, and I talk back. But I don't want to be a part of that right now. Everyone who has a girlfriend/boyfriend is intent on hooking me up with some girl, and I'm confused. Is it that it's better to have a girl/boyfriend, is that a fact? Or do they pity me? It's annoying and I don't want it, but they don't care apparently.
Now, as for reasons why? I'm just... happy being single. Is that so hard to understand? Like, "OH, how can you be happy if you don't have someone to hold you, and care for you, and love?" Simple. I hold myself very well, and I care about myself, in fact I love myself more than enough already, so what's your problem? Love is a strange and mysterious feeling, and I don't think I have the mindset to fully appreciate it and/or understand it. I'm glad you do, but it's too much for me to handle. Sure, these things are all very nice, and I do think about them and even put myself in such a scenario, but they aren't for me, not yet.
Is it that important to share my problems and feelings with another person? Can I not do that already with my friends?
I'm just... a little tired of people using the phrase, "I need a girlfriend." This is mostly a rant towards two of my male friends, who can't get over themselves. Sorry for bothering you all, I felt it needed to be said.
Moving on...
Next topic of discussion:
I think I take my friends for granted.
I was thinking about it today, and like... what if I didn't have all of the marvelous friends I have? What if I wasn't as blessed and was stuck, alone, without such comfort and advice? What's more is they not only do those things, but they make me laugh. I think laughter is the most precious thing, and it shouldn't be thought of as lightly as it is.
I think maybe everyone takes their friends for granted. Not many stop to think what would happen if they all just up and left. I know I'd be shattered, broken to peices, heart-torn. What if, for instance, your only guidance and support had decided they weren't fond of you, and left the country, without leaving you a number to call or address to mail? How would anyone react to that? Some I'm sure would go as far as suicide.
Which leaves me to this point: Friends are often as precious as life it'sself. So in turn, the life and presence of one could mean the life and presence of another. What power that is, and how terrible it is to behold.
Thankfully, I've been blessed with such marvelous friends that I could have never imagined would be a part of my life. I just want to thank those friends for their company, time, and most of all, the laughter they've provided me with. <3
Here's something cool:
60's Anti-War song? Awesome poem.
It's called One Tin Soldier. Here's the poem:
When I first read these lyrics, I was without speech. It's an amazing message, but it also turned a thought: What if... in order to reach peace, we have to fight and go through struggles? Perhaps if we can get everyone to stop violence in general, sure, but what's less far-fetched is... if you remove the ones who cause violence... then peace will be there? It's an ironic situation. To have peace you must have war. To have war you must have peace. In both scenarios, what there is to gain is what you lose.
Last final thoughts:
"Well here's an interesting story..."
Okay, since Kristen inspired me to talk about some story about a tampon, I'll share some funny stories I've encountered while with my friends Liz and Becca.
So this one time we were parading around in the mall, which is a normal thing that we do from time to time. In the middle of our mall, there is this carosel, with the horses and zebra and whatnot. So like, every time we go to the mall, I beg and plead for us to ride the carosel, because I love the carosel to death. This particular time, they don't want to get on, so I do anyway, hoping they'll follow in my merryment. Of course, they don't, and I'm stuck on this elephant. Well anyway, the ride starts... And I'm overreacting about how fun the ride was, like shouting and yelling that they were missing out. The whole time I'm yelling I'm rocking back and forth to exaggerate. In the middle of my rocking, I bang my head on the pole, and slip off the elephant, and onto the floor of the carosel! So my friends are over there laughing at me on the floor, and I'm laughing on the floor, and the guy calls the MALL COPS, AND WE GOT ESCOURTED OUT OF THE MALL.
Like, hey, we can't have any fun?
So in the same trip, I'm outside of the mall, and they're laughing about being kicked out with me. The walls of the mall (funny to say) are brick, but it's like, one brick straight and then on sticking out, and so on. It makes a giant checkered pattern. So I had some fun with that, and I got them to do the same. We climbed the wall of the mall to nearly two stories high, and put our drinks we had previously bought on the upper most bricks. It was so dangerous to do that, but Liz pulled people over and asked if they'd get those drinks for us, and someone actually was about to do it! Then the mall cops came again.
>> Okay, so another time not in the mall...
We were at a movie theater, and the movie stunk. Like, I don't even know what it was, but I hated it. It was a brand new movie, just came out, and there were tons of people in the theater. Just for your info, we were in the front row. So like I normally do with my friends, I dug through Liz's purse. Yeah, a lot of girls freak out when I tell them that, but I don't think it's that big of a deal if you've lived with sisters.
Anyway, I was digging through, and I found her tampons. So I picked one of them up, and inspected it... and I yelled out, "Whaaaat?! They make cherry scented tampons?!" Yeah. I had no idea that they were scented. Like, who's going to know? I asked Liz later, "Why does it matter? Is someone going to come up and sniff you and ask you what scent it is?
And that's about it... nothing else really. Hope you enjoyed it!
This issssss the story of a giiiiirl... who cried a river and drowned the whole world! And she looks so sad in photographs but I absolutely love her... When she smiiiiiiiiiiiles!,

Since I was at my mother's home for the week (practically, not the entirety of it), I decided within the days to write these entries up to make up for lost time. So, you can enjoy my bountiful week while I mourn over it.
You see, my mom is a great person at heart, she's cool and collective and an all around nice woman. Along with the bark, she's got the bite too, so don't go thinking she's a saint. Heck, she does well enough to put up with me! However, since I moved back she's been slowly spiraling down into... well, whatever it is it's not nice.
But more on that later.
I chilled at the house, woke up at about... eh, 11. Uhm, went to Walmart for the first time in ages and actually went shopping. I like to go shopping with the grandparents, they're funny to talk to. Got a new watch finally. Of course it's really bulky and only adds more of my ever so sheik style (COUGHDORKCOUGH). Groceries were bought, and then we stopped at Arby's, which by the time we got there, I was definately thinking about it.
Got a haircut. When I say haircut I mean practically shaven. Seriously. I'd show pictures if I had them.
Normally I would have been callin' up my buddies to see if they wanted to do something the next day, but unfortunately they are all attending a bible camp (which I totally wanted to go to, but couldn't because I didn't move here in time...).
Anyway, that was Monday, twas nice.
So yeah, I drove my mother, Drew, and my aunt (she's the sweetest thing, the dear) to a Japanese place to eat. Of course they were all commenting on my casual "I know how to drive better than you think I do" style of driving, making me slightly ticked. Also I had some dude tailgate me there the entire time (WHICH STEAMS ME), he followed me all the way to the resturant. UGH. When we got there he had the nerve to tell me to speed up next time! So what if I follow the speed limit to it's exact measure, give me a break.
So before we went inside, Drew wanted a haircut, so we waited outside (that means I was breathing in cigerette smoke from my mom and aunt) until he got it cut. Luckily there was a haircut place right next to us. While we waited (choked on second hand smoke), I got to see two of my new school's graduated band members that I recently met. (I'm in the band, btw) So that was cool.
We went inside, sat down, waited like, 40 minutes which is awkwardly unusual, and finally got to eat. The server guy was cool, his name was Mike and he looked Korean. Probably because he was. I say that because Drew made it a point to ask why he was named Mike and where did his family come from. He informed us that his mom was from IRELAND and his dad Korea. He was really cool about it. The chef was cool too, his name was Young. He was a funny guy.
So, halfway through our meal, my mom and Drew are both slightly tipsy from the heavy Japanese beer. There was a server (named Amber as we soon found out) who worked there that Drew was eyeballing. He kept nudging me and pointing at her as to hint that I needed to ask her out. I kept refusing. Then he called her over and asked her how old she was (rude!), she was 17 (oh, well that's fine...), and he told her I was interested. I tried to be a good sport about it but I was more red than a lobster knuckle. I told him if he didn't cool it I'd leave him at the resturant.
When everyone was done (I CLEANED MY PLATE! Haha...) We decided not to go to Publix. Then we went home. And that's about all.
...But that girl was cute...
Woke up at 3, hoping it'd be a nice day... it wasn't.
This is where my mom comes in. She's been a little... overemotional recently. Ever since I moved down here she's been a little over the top with confessions. Earlier in the year she told me why she divorced (apparently my dad is a cheater...), which didn't make me angry at anyone, but I was disappointed with my father. But this time it's her venting her childhood onto me.
I mean, It was really awkward. There she was, broken up in tears, spilling out supressed memories... and I couldn't do anything. I tried to be supportive at first, but she kept blaming herself for why my childhood was so bad, and when I kept telling her it's fine, she's say "No, it's not...". So I could do nothing but sit there and gawk at her like a potato. I felt awful. But what's worse is... I didn't really care. I took it all in and just let it all go, like it didn't matter. I mean, when I've had problems, I'd either put it away, or fix it, and she won't do either. It makes me feel like such a bad person to think of it this way but... If you can't get ahold of yourself like a grown woman should, that's your fault, I can't help you.
I've been the figure of many people venting before, and I can usually help people, but when she was venting to me... I didn't know what to do.
I was happy to get away from that situation when Church time came, and reading and learning helped me clear my mind. Mom doesn't go to church, but I went with my neighbors. Since everyone was at camp, my class was just me and the teacher, so we just talked about random things. Like certain theories of how the earth came to be, and how races came to be, it was cool.
But... didn't last long. I came home, and ate, and watched some Discovery channel (FTW!). Mom came in with Drew (they went motorbiking while I was gone) and was very quiet. She brought me Arbys, so I sat there shut up and ate. When time came to pass... it turns out Drew is leaving my mom. No reason why, he just is. It's been like... 9 years together, and he just up and leaves... My mom is going to break down again. The poor woman had enough from my dad and all that and it's happening again? I didn't even want to be here for another moment after hearing that, but I didn't say anything.
So that was Wednesday, a pretty bad day on my scale.
So I get up and chill, waiting for them to come around. Turns out they just wanted to get the brake tags for the motorcycles. I felt bad for blaming them for leaving me, so I didn't say anything.
Later we went to Ruby Tuesdays, which I think is one of the best resturants around. If you haven't guessed, my mom is an eat out person. I had the typhoon shrimp, followed up with lemon grilled salmon. It was the BEST. I didn't finish the sides that came with the salmon, mostly because I had enough fill from typhoon shrimp. So we bagged it up and left.
Needless to say, nothing awkward happened. I checked up on Kristen's LJ and stuff... and then went to bed.
End Thursday.
So the entire day I was dog tired... We didn't do much, in fact, I don't think I left the house. I walked around the house like a zombie until I was in my right mind...
Mom left to get the tags, and came back about an hour later. I spent the day playing on my laptop and watching Discovery Channel.
We had a really nice supper of Tilapia stuffed with crab meat. OOOH so good. You can get it at publix for like, 4 dollars a pair.
A lot of drama went down between Drew and my mom... they kept yelling back in forth because Drew kept getting phone calls and mom needed to eat (Because she has diabetes and is on a schedule for eating times) so they went at it. I mean, I understand that my mom HAS to eat on time, but he couldn't help but answer important phone calls. She was getting on his case for no reason...
I went to bed right after dinner, sick of the fighting.
TODAY!
Well today my mom took me back to my grandmother's house... But before that, we went to get my baby clothes from a shed. We're giving them to some person... I think. Anywho, while we were there there was this BEAUTIFUL paiting someone gave my mom, and she let me have it. I was amazed by it, so I stuck it in my room at her house when we dropped everything else off.
And that's about all I did today, but I'm planning on going to a party tonight. I'll keep you all informed.
Whew, what a week...

Also, after the FNM, we went to Arby's! I happen to love Arby's, it's my favorite. I ordered a Large Arby's with Large Curly Fries and a Large Chocolate Milkshake. Yes, I know I'm going to die of being fat one day. D:
I ended up talking to my friends about a deck idea for... 2 hours. G/B Elf tokens with Husk. It looks monstrous. I'm determined to create a unique deck that'll blow their minds...
What else that isn't in the life of MTG? I'm slowly getting closer and closer to getting baptised and really taking this thing seriously. It might not be long at all... Two of my friends have gone off to a camp called Fall Creek Falls, and they were really excited about it. It's a christian learning camp, so I hope they have fun.
Ugh, I keep forgetting to write a reply letter to my friend Megan! She sent me a letter a while ago, almost a week, and I haven't replied. I need to get on that...
So, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do for a job, because you know, it's a pretty important decision. I've had a dream to be a DJ on the radio, which I can do now apparently with an online radio station... I mean, being a DJ would be the coolest thing ever, I think. I love music (of course, who doesn't?) and playing it for a job would definitely be something I'd love. They do say to pick something you'll love, otherwise it'll just be a work and not a occupation. But I don't know how I'd get started being a DJ... I guess I could just go solo for a DJ job for a while, and then just ask around about radio stations... I wouldn't mind what kind of music...
Anyway, that's about all that's on my mind right now.

Anyway, since I can't bash Cosmo, I'll bash this site: links2love.com. I found something on how to tell guys are flirting on you, and being a guy I can tell you some if not most of this is wrong, even if they hit on a few points. I'll tell you if it's true, somewhat true, or false, from my point of view. Yes, this means if I say it's true, it's something I as a guy would do/have done. XD
(http://www.links2love.com/dating_tips_f
Let's break it down.
1. The Eyebrow Lift? False. Lifting your eyebrows doesn't have anything to do with flirting. In my case, I lift my eyebrows when I'm asking a question, or even at times when I'm talking or explaining something. Even now as I concentrate not to laugh at this, I'm lifting my eyebrows.
2. Gaining Your Attention? Somewhat true. Although if he's trying to get your attention, he might be flirting, If you aren't paying attention in the first place and he just wants to talk, it's not flirting. It all depends and it can't be used as a sign.
3. Slight Parting of the Lips? Somewhat true. This body language is more reliable than most of the other signs listed, because most of the time it's true. Usually it means he's thinking about you (or checking you out >>). However, it could just mean he's drifted off somewhere.
4. Nostrils Open, Face Widens? Somewhat true. Usually this means he's happy to see you, if his face becomes more relaxed, but it doesn't always mean he's flirting.
5. Classic Male Stance? True. I say that because it's just in attempt for him to look relaxed in front of you, which means he's probably already nervous to begin with. I personally have switched to this stance without knowing it, so it's a body language definant. However, if you aren't the only girl nearby, it could be guestured towards someone else, so be weary.
6. Touches His Own Face? Somewhat true. In my personal experience, this usually isn't true. I touch my face when I'm thinking, or pondering, however... if it came off a Classic Stance, it's almost indefinant flirting.
7. Strokes His Shirt, Jeans, etc? Somewhat true. I mean, some people just don't like wrinkles like me, but usually it's a flirting thing. They want to look tidy in your presence.
8. Fiddles with his Hair? False. You just can't tell with the hair, that's why I say false. I fiddle with my hair all the time, not because I'm flirting, but because I love my hair. However, if you notice his hair is a little messy, but he goes to the bathroom and it comes back more tidy, that could be taken as a sign.
9. Eyebrows Arc while Talking? False. False. False. Eyebrow movement all depends on the conversation. If he's interested in the subject, he might move his eyebrows a little, so what? It does not mean flirting unless the guy is a complete jerk enough to fake interest in conversation. IGNORE EYEBROW MOVEMENT.
10. Sock Adjustment? False. Never have I ever adjusted my socks to impress someone. Nor has anyone else I've seen. It's ridiculous.
To wrap things up, you just can't take the risk of guessing if a guy is flirting unless you've been around him for some time. In fact, it's not worth it to guess, if he's genuinely interested in dating you, he'll come around eventually.

So... I have some lyrics on my mind, BNL's song Call and Answer. It's one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard, but then it's a song about a breakup and get back together scenario. It's so awesome. Look it up?

Nothing that interesting happened yesterday... It was just a lot of nothing. Well, not exactly nothing, some things happened, I guess.
Mostly, I joined a roleplay that has to do with Megaman Battle Network. It's pretty cool. I made a character and joined after reading up on the rules. It took a long time, cause there were a lot of rules to read up about. Anywho, I had to have a description of my NetNavi, and I didn't feel like writing one, so I made one with a sprite! The end result was this:
So my spritework is mediocre at best... I'm completely happy with that. I thought I did fairly well. That pretty much sums up yesterday.
Today, I actually posted my character to the site, and I'm still waiting for it to be accepted... I'm sure it'll come around. Let's see... what else did I do today? I got a letter from my friend Megan, it was pretty nice to get a letter. She told me some stuff and drew me a picture, and it made me smile. ^ ^ Also she included a card from a card game that ALSO has to do with Megaman. I might start buying them. I know, I'm pathetic. D:
Finally gave in to reading things at OneManga.com... Which isn't good, because technically it's illegal. Technically being, if you never buy a manga from the publisher. I'm sure eventually I'll buy whatever manga I really like, and I'll probably stop reading the ones I don't as much... so I can live with myself for now.
Been kinda lonely today... No one's been on AIM for too long when I was on, it seems everyone but myself has plans. I'd like to do things too... >>
STILL haven't found my mouse thing yet. It's really getting on my nerves... I kinda like waking up early, more hours in the day, makes me feel happier with the sunshine.
Maybe I'll call my friend Liz and ask her if she wants to do something...
I'm tired of seeing stupid car commercials,

Well once again inspired by my wonderful friend Kristen who I love so very much, I've made another journal just so I can keep up with her happenings of daily life. Of course in return I'll do the same, but that's not why I made this in the first place. <3
Well well... I haven't been on this in nearly a year. In fact, I deleted all traces of such so no one would notice! Haha! Wait...
So, a fresh start is way overdue. But what to say? What is there to say that hasn't already been said? In fact, if you're here, that means you already know what needs to be said and in that it doesn't need to be said again.
...Oh well.
To start with, I'm Jacob. Call me what you will.
I live in Alabama.
I'm 16, a sophomore in High School.
I play Magic The Gathering.
I'm a Gamer.
My friend Kristen is better than you.
I like to watch anime, and read manga.
I'm a nerd.
I can't be categorized in any shape name or manner. (Other than nerd.)
I watch Discovery Channel.
I'm single, and can say without being a hypocrit that I'm loving it.
I'm hanging on the edge of Christianity.
And uhm, yeah.
______________________________
For lack of things to say, I'll talk about my day as well.
Well today wasn't anything special, I just hung out at my house all day. Came on here, made a new Live Journal (not this one), then waited for people to get on Aim, then made a Blogger account. Then when Kristen got online I asked her about this, and then I logged back on and made this! Also in random intervals today I edited/tested my MTG deck...
Oh, and I woke up at 4. THAT'S RIGHT. For Dinner/ Breakfast, I had my favorite, Beef Tips and Rice. There's one for the record, Jacob's favorite food is Beef Tips and Rice.

Dramatic Dawning: write about your current feelings
Dramatic Dawning: your opinions about random interesting stuff
Dramatic Dawning: lyrics that appeal to you RIGHT NOW
Okay, sounds good.
1. Current Feelings:
Well, I've been itching to have something to put my feelings into, and that's where this comes in. I've been bored most of today, and ever anxious to be testing out my new MTG deck... which no one seems to care about. So that bums me out a little, but you can't always find people that share your EXACT interests I guess. I've been feeling very... blissful recently. Maybe it's because I've been praying and thanking, and it's made me humble? I'm still on the border of that. Anyway, I'm overall happy right now.
2. Random Interesting "Stuff"
I've confirmed that I am a little paranoid today, when once again I freaked out when someone watched over my shoulder. Ugh, it gets me itchy. Other things... let's see... I love Milo's tea, it's so good... and I CAN'T FIND MY MOUSE! It's not that I can't use a touchpad, but I hate that I can't find it.
3. Lyrics
Disclaimer!
This is what I get that I think the writer is saying, not what I believe.
I've been thinking about these lyrics today, and it's really confusing. A hobby of mine is to decode the message in music, and I'm just plain unsure about this song. With Nightwish, they have songs that can mean many things and are hard to decode. This song... well if I wanted to put it the easy way, it's about greed. But I think it has a deeper meaning. I think what the writer wants to say is God is greedy. Of course, that's not what I think, but that's what I see in this song. I think it's saying, God gave us this emotion, curse, or whatever, and that he's the master of greed, giving us a life of torture and dispair. Really deep, right?
Break it down:
First Stanza- The first two lines, I'm unsure about, but it's clear to me that the writer says God is forgotten, but the seeds are sewn.
Second Stanza: Talking of Judas betraying Jesus, I think they're trying to say that God did the did to spread dispair.
Chorus thing- God is the master of greed?
Quotation- Being in quotes means a lot. It means it's quoting someone (duh). This is the seed that God set when Judas betrayed Jesus.
After Quotes- I really don't know what this means.
Pain and Hope- This is a cool line, I think it translates to "We don't care about anyone but ourselves."
Greed, the master passion- This is embracing human nature, feeding the master passion, greed, fufilling desire.
HER- All of the following lines with 'Her' in are the actions of greed in a symbol.
Last Stanza- Another cool line, it means no matter what, we've done something that's not good, and we can't change it.
Overlook- This song is very deep, and it's hard to translate, and I'm probably wrong. But this is what I see.
