tangled up in me.

so linux was sucessful! i am now dual-booting windows xp and xubuntu! the install last night took much longer than i thought. in fact.. i fell asleep before it finish. it was ninety-four percent last time i saw it. and that waiting time, quite well worth it. no major differences, just a change in programs, and major use of the command line. i love the workspaces that linux uses. (i use a total of four, default two) they are basically separate desktops.. as if you had four different monitors lined up, and each connected to the same computer. in one screen instant messages, in another an overdue project, and in one more a paused movie. and the poor forth one is fine just sitting there without windows in it. so its cool for organizing and just a very good concept. i also enabled the feature that if i moved my mouse to the edge of my screen that it would change to the adjacent workspace. which saves me so much time instead of clicking the stuff at the bottom of the screen. and with that major good point (along with speed) is a bad point. somehow.. the only screen resolutions in my options is.. 640x480 and 800x600. which absolutely sucks, because i normally use 1280x1024 and everything on my screen is so huge now. (i am sure lauren would like this resolution..) but i am working on this problem right now.. because it is not suppose to be like that. but lots of confusing directions.

soo today, i thought i had lots of free time.. but i grossly miscalculated and.. its almost one o' clock. i will not be posting my one-hundredth post tomorrow. in fact.. my one-hundreth post will only come after significant change!

today is ninety-ninth post.

beware of shallow waters.

hardly interestingly uninteresting.. my day started off normal and is ending normal too. i am posting after all my work is done, which only consisted of.. studying for history test. amazing! everything else i either do not need to do at the moment or did in school. huzzah!

so when i got home from school.. nick's little brother was online and asked to play a game of poker. we did, and i lost and found out that he really sucks at winning. oh well, hopefully we all learn to grow out of that.. then took a shower.. and from then.. till i went to sleep.. i do not remember what happened. but when i did wake up the only abnormal subjects i can cover.. is my studying of history through my amazing friend rachael's quizlet (she's amazing for other reasons but i did want to formally thank her for her help) and studying along with tyler's help. and another subject is my cleaning (deleting gigabytes of data) and defragging my computer so that i can... get linux! uber cool and since for some of my readers it will be hard to understand.. but anyways.. in the new version that came out recently.. they included "wubi" which lets me install it without getting rid of windows or dual booting. (which takes too much time and is risky) so i cleaned up some space for it and am about to do that right now.. hopefully it will work...

ninety-eighth post.

circles.

way too late to even think about posting.. i went to sleep last night around.. one-ish. i am about to leave for school with only two minutes until i have to leave. but i did want to get a post in. almost as a penance to my viewers.

most of the day was occupied by other work. and since i have not the time to cover anything.. i will get in just this few bits.

my brother called at 12:30 (thankfully i was still awake) and told me of some bad news. all in central florida they had wildfires, and when he saw that he called me up to see if i was alright.

also my two drama projects..
will be shown later...

--EDIT

too easy.

so this intended post. was to be made last night.. but whilst coming up with ideas to write about.. those ideas, became my dreams. but now that i am wake this fine mother's day morning, i wish to post to cover up the past few days. now.. my memory has been particularly bad these past few weeks. normally when recalling a day. i could easily start from when i woke up, to the moment before i started typing the very same post. where this ability has gone.. i have not a clue. perhaps it is of my own fault. caring less and less of the blog itself. and more and more of nothing else. and merely becoming a sort of pit. now usually people do not want to become pits of any sort. and this holds true to me. i really want to better myself. but do not know how to go about it. i feel hypocritical when i find myself waiting for the summer, thinking that a huge change will occur. but i know that when the first day of summer comes rolling out.. i will be in bed.. just as lazy and stupid as before, if i do not do anything about it. now that's that. and on to the daily events.

the very first day that i intended to write a blog but that plan fell through.. i had already written out an outline of what i wanted to cover that post. and i shall hopefully do it justice. sooo, i had my first tsa meeting since states, and mr. norman did not make finalist for teacher of the year, which means my adviser can stay a teacher at treasure coast high school, and bring people to nationals and continue tsa next year. also we will be having an end of the year party for tsa. $10 unlimited food. too bad it is at a mets game.
also in light of mother's day.. i guess it is more appropriate to say now.. that i have learned so much from my mom, and she gives more than she takes 100 fold. she taught me a valuable lesson and i hope i never forget it when i am in need.
i failed my history quiz.. 68.
eilene has finished her ib exam! this year she took chemistry ii, and on thursday and friday she took the exam (kinda like ap test) and will find out the results later.
i have not played the xbox in the longest while.. and because of that i plugged it in and played it for about two minutes...

and skip a few days..
now yesterday!
i woke up.. ate some lunch (skipped breakfast) and had to clean up my room and house.. because.. my grandma is coming to visit! along with some aunts and uncles too. they should be coming here next friday, so the clean up time is this weekend. my room look better than it did before. but still.... not so good. i downloaded and watched sweeney todd yesterday and although a good movie.. not of my tastes.. then after a few normal-ish events around the later part of the night i was looking for a new wallpaper at.. http://wwww.socwall.com/ and got... this..
yup tis the hotness of hayden panettiere!
and and, even took part in another game of poker with my best buds..

by the end of it all, the game was really quick. and before i fell asleep, i was talking to anna. and just to her. i hope we can both change. for the better.

faded.

sooo. i missed yesterday's post. just totally forgot about it. and i have not the time to go over today's events.. for i am still working. but i have little left.. kinda. so i am off once again.. never to remember this day. and all it's glory.

i think im home. i close my eyes, but i just dont know.

"no" + "place"

i have exactly three songs on my playlist set on repeat.
currently playing: Hikaru Utada-Simple And Clean.
first on list: Vitamin C-Graduation Song.
the third song? Rammstein-Du Hast.

and with these three songs i am going to write my history essay. but i am going to write it in blog form.. to see if i have a different creative writing style when i blog as apposed to when i write essays.

as of write now, i am trying to compile what i think a utopia is. and what it needs to accomplish. for one.. it needs to be able to take care of food, living space, and social structure. (in order of what i think is more complex) while keeping in mind that.. one. a utopia is not possible in our state and condition. (the project required that it be logical enough to be realistic to a certain degree. "dont nuke the planet") and two. that the three are interconnected to each other.. so i will not be strictly forming one at a time.

food for the utopia, obviously needs to feed the population. too much, and value and need change. and too little and people starve. the food would be used as a bartering tool if the food production had been over produced. which would also cause unbalance. and a way to go about controlling the food production. is to isolate the viable growing areas. (artificial or natural)

okay! so after that last paragraph.. i downloaded "notepad++" and just made an outline and dropped the idea of writing the blog first.
if you wanna see the incomplete outline. check it out here..

i do not know if this will be a double post.. i do not have the time to write so much..

from ashes.

today was kinda interesting. for one thing.. it is 4 05am sunday right now. and i am stay wide awake. otherwise i would on any other days be totally knocked out.

today eilene woke up early to get ready to take the sat's and she told me that she did already for them, but did not mention any details as to not jinx them. but i woke up at 11 00am with my throat totally killing me, with coughs and the overall inability to sounds audible in my speech. (very scratchy and frog-like)

throughout the day it has gotten better until recently since my voice gets very coarse at night. since yesterday and today.. i have been reading this e-book on hypnosis and it is something obviously to be skeptical about for all you people that think i am actually trying to learn it. but the book itself is a good read.. and so far has kept me interested. so as of now.. i am on page 61 of 179.

one of the two reasons that i am up right now is that for eilene's biology lab.. she is measuring how caffeine affects heartbeats per minute. and i was one of the test subjects. so i had lots of soda with caffeine to drink, which i do not normally have.
the second reason for my being awake is that i was talking to my friend matt (who's birthday was shared with my brother) and just talking to him for a while kept me up. it has taken me the longest time to convince him to get firefox. even now.. he uses a firefox theme to make it look like internet explorer.

also during that chat i had with matt. i took part in a good ol' game of gunbound with my friend.. billy! i havent had the time to get a good conversation in with him but we were able to at least acknowledge each other. and tried out the new gunbound. they totally introduced a new style of game. i wish i got the hang of it before.. i really sucked during the games i played with billy. poor billy.. i was on his team the entire time..

but some of the things that i did not do today was...!
my history essay
my laundry
read any blogs
or
clean my room.

broken again.

i swear, i am trying to make this my last crappy post in this post ridden slum of a blog. i do not think i will ever get to talking about how cool tsa was. or many other hidden messages. hopefully more videos and pictures will come soon.

today... was the award ceremony. i got high honors for my 4.0 grade point average this year. plus i got student of the year award for drama ii. i got one last year for geometry..

also i went to relay for life. it is from what i understand a fundraiser where teams set up booths to raise money. and always have someone on the track. kinda vague but i did see a lot of people i knew. one of which i never thought i would ever see again. i got a ride from nick's dad and eilene originally put the idea of me going.. because she is in beta club.. which had a booth there. lpa and lpa beta club were doing a sort of birthday theme which allowed me to have a silly birthday hat on for a few hours.
i think we arrived at 5 14pm ish or somewhere around that.. and me and eilene had to leave at 8 00pm ish. because eilene has to take the "sat" tests. which she will rock on!

my brother's birthday is today! i wish him a really good birthday, at least a celebration of his birthday in all his awesomeness. he is currently moving and his away message said that today was moving day #2.

also matt sordello, norma, nick's gradma, brandon, brandon's grandama's birthdays today.

wicked late.

before i could blog last night i was sleeping. i left my computer on by accident.. shame on me..

so today was the first of may. and as i am posting.. technically the second of may..
school has been the same ol', same ol' school for the past week or so.

but some things that were a bit different were...
in chemistry.. we learned how to mix.. salt.. and water.
and in drama.. my teacher is away at states for drama competitions with all his students.

i also did the lights for the band concert.. i liked the 7th grade music. funny songs...
