The best part of homecoming was "the people you were with" with a whopping 14 votes!
October 6, 2002 - HOMECOMING!
YAY!!!! Homecoming was great! Sure, some things went wrong, but there were plenty of things that went right to make up for it. Right before we left for dinner, I realized I forgot my ticket for homecoming at home... but we had plenty of time and the LIMO DRIVER had no problem taking me there! The limo was great! It didn't have a sunroof, but it was still a limo... and then at the restaurant, it wasn't as good as we had hoped and they didn't have fetuccini alfredo, and jackie's dress broke and her nails fell off... but other than that, we had a good time there, lol. And then we had an hour to kill before the dance and the limo driver drove around to kill time and we blasted nelly and big tymers and ace of base. And now to the dance... The decorations were AWESOME. I think everyone agrees that this homecoming decorations and picture background and set up were the best ones ever. And the DJ wasn't that great, but he still played some good songs... And me and Betsy danced A LOT! And I did the band dance twice! It was great!!! Unfortunately, I put my jacket down on the table and some dumbass spilled punch and it got all over my jacket... but ah well, that's what the drycleaners are for. So anyways, after the dance, we went back to Betsy's house... and we ate pizza and chips (and I wanted some cake but didn't eat any), and we played spoons, and we watched A Walk to Remember (well, most of it). And things were so great!!! And I had such an awesome time with Betsy... she looked so gorgeous! And my purple tie matched her dress perfectly... and when I left we kissed goodbye like eight times, and I fell in love with her all over again.  All in all, the night was awesome.

I wish I had a picture of homecoming already, but I don't. So this one's from explodingdog.com again. I wish I had a better IOTD.

October 7, 2002 - more about betsy
Another day, another... well, day. Nothing much is happening, I'm still giddy from Saturday; I can't help it. Lots to look forward to this week. I work a couple days... there's no school Friday, and that's the day of the band picnic (and the premier of show 2). Well, I guess other than Friday, there's not really "lots to look forward to". I guess it still feels like it's gonna be a good week though... I think it's probably because Betsy and I are closer than ever after Saturday. It just really felt like we were supposed to be together that day...Other than thinking about Betsy, I've kinda been thinking a lot about the future lately. And I think going to a school in Ohio is the most realistic for me, so I hope to narrow it down to 3-5 schools this week. I'm sure I'll have a list up here eventually of the top 5 for me, so keep your eyes opened for that. That's all for now...

Well, here's a homecoming picture... even if it's not of me and Betsy, it's still cute! I think Steve-O and Megan-O make such a cute couple... speaking of which, they've almost been going out for a year. Time flies, doesn't it?

October 8, 2002 - stability, ugly rainbows, and 'mad' as in crazy
I apologize for only talking about Betsy lately... you know what, on second thought, I don't apologize. I love talking about Betsy and thinking about Betsy and being with Betsy. And I mean, if I didn't have her, I'd probably have nothing to talk about except band and work! Speaking of which, band is in the dragging on period, where everyone's basically dead and doesn't feel like doing it anymore, kinda like winter-time during the school year. Not to say that people actually WANT to be going to school, but at least for me, the past three years school has been the most boring and unenjoyable during winter. Oh! And Paul convined me to do an OMEA ensemble (it's a music "critique" kind of contest)... and that's the one thing I thought I'd NEVER want to do, but for some reason, I feel strangely compelled to do it. As far as my social life goes, I spend a lot of time working and a lot of my friends have other things going on for them, but last night I hung out with Joe and Larry, which was cool. And I also saw Scott, which was cool as well. As far as the rest of my friends, we've kinda stopped hanging out lately... not really consciously, it just happened. And now that I'm starting to have more free time, like when I don't work, I've been wanting to spend it with Betsy. Which is a good thing for me... I finally feel some stability in our relationship, and I love it! Anyways, I guess that's all for today.

No idea what this picture is for, but the it's one of the more ugly rainbow pictures I've seen. I guess it's kinda cool how it's getting lighter near the horizon, and how the grass is so green after the luminous shadow passes, but it's still ugly.

Attention: If you've already voted in this week's poll, please RE-VOTE. (I reset the votes because I messed up in the coding, but it's fixed now.)

Well, another day... Not much went on in school today, although I had jazz band after. And then Steve-O and I had a quaint dinner for two at the Ground Round to discuss physics and love and stuff. I really like one-on-one situations with my friends... it's so much easier to talk and get a point across with them. As far as people in general go, I'm sick of them being petty and bitchy and having NO excuse for it. It's so dumb. If you're someone's friend, don't talk shit about them. Blah! It puts me in a bad mood. Anyways, not too much else is going on. I still need to decide on a college, and I'm working on getting my license... and my love life is still GREAT! That's all for now.

October 10, 2002 - small update, small planet
Not a whole lot of time to update today... I just got home from band a bit ago and I'm leaving in a few minutes to go to Betsy's. It's our 2 month anniversary today!! Well, two official months... we've been together for pretty much like eleven months. She rocks my world!! In other news, no school tomorrow! That's pretty exciting... school's been really boring lately. Anyways, hopefully I'll have a more exciting update tomorrow!

What's this? A new planet? Maybe so... Astronomers have found a small object outside the orbit of Pluto. This is a picture of the size related to that of our Earth. So it's probably just some kind of moon-like object or an asteroid or something, since it's so small.

October 11, 2002 - brighten my day
Well, I guess it had to happen eventually... I was in a great mood all week, and it all was shot to hell today. It's not that anything bad happened, but for some reason I've been in an awful mood. I went to the damn band picnic and had no fun since I was in such a bad mood. I took a walk by myself in hopes that it would cheer me up somehow, but it didn't. And tonight we have to take an hour long bus trip to go to the stupid football game, which I don't feel like going to. I think I just didn't feel like being around a lot of people today, and that's what it's been all day. Breakfast with 9 people, the band picnic with like 50, and then the game with like 120 band people and everyone else there. I just want to be alone. And I guess I don't really mean I want to be "alone"... because I don't want to be by myself. I just don't feel like being with a whole bunch of people. Dah, hopefully my night'll be great and I'll be in a better mood.

A little bright? Well, it's homecoming pictures again... thinking about that kinda puts me in a better mood. I had such a great time, and I'm still so crazy about Betsy. I can't really help but smile when I think of her.

October 12, 2002 - late update
Well, it's almost midnight, so this update has to be quick if I want it to be counted as October 12th! I spent a lot of time with Betsy tonight, and I must say it was GREAT! I'm still on the "I love Betsy" kick, if you hadn't noticed, and I don't think I'll be getting off of it. Tomorrow's the woolybear festival and I think I'll have a good time... I'm sure of it. And I actually think I'll be hanging out with some of my friends in a while that I haven't hung out with in like a month! So tomorrow should be a good day for me today.

This is a Hubble image of a galaxy called "Hoag's Object"... it's slightly larger than our Milky Way galaxy. The outer "ring" is made up of newer stars, while the more dense, yellow nucleus is made up of older stars. Basically, those are billions and billions of stars in just one of the billions and billions of galaxies out there. Life only on our planet? Nah.

My grandpa passed away earlier this morning, and I didn't know him all that well, we never talked much... but I wouldn't feel right to not talk about him now. He was a do-it-yourself kinda guy... he didn't buy much into commercial products. He grew his own vegetables and if he ever needed something, he'd get it for himself. In the past few years, life had been changing for him, and he had to rely on other people... and I don't think he liked to trouble anyone, so it was hard for him. Nonetheless, he was a great man, and I will always hold him close to me.
