Agz....I forgot to write an entry yesterday. Or rather, i didn't have time to update, because I was too busy getting ready for my American Authors Project (which went absolutely FANTASTIC!!!). I really don't have a lot of time to be donig an entry right now, but it's okay. I'm no stranger to procrastinating/losing sleep while trying to get stuff done, so I'll be alright I guess.

American Authors Presentation: FUCKING ROCKED!!!!! We had, without a doubt, the best presentation so far. Everyone said so, including Mr. Gemkow! Basically, we just messed around while still managing to talk about Kurt Vonnegut and his themes while playing cool music on a CD I had burned last night. We were originally going to come out wearing dresses to represent Kurt Vonnegut's random and wacky writing style and then do a striptease to the song "You Sexy Thing", a la The Full Monty, but Robert's mom (who apparently sucks) deemed it inappropriate. Pity. Anyways, I still played taht song while we were setting up to prep the audience, as well as a couple of other songs, like Costa Del Sol from FF7 and Misato's Theme from Evangelion. First, Brian talked about Vonnegut's writing style with some examples of illustrations and text passages, then Rodrigo talked about Slaughterhouse 5. Pretty standard fare really, nothing spectacular. Then Robert played Biographical Charades, which was pretty funny (and informative!) We also handed out Wheaties (The Breakfast of Champions) to people who guessed correctly. Next, Ryan talked about Breakfast of Champions. And then it was my turn. I had prepared a spinner with all of Vonnegut's themes on it, and I had people come down and spin it and I would talk about that theme. First I called down Mr. Gemkow (CHRIS GEMKOW, COME ON DOWN!! YOU'RE THE FIRST CONTESTANT ON PICK YOUR THEME!!) and played the theme from "The Price is Right" Pretty funny shit, everyone cracked up. And then when I was done with that, I got in an "argument" with Robert about whether Vonnegut was dead or not. I said he was dead and it was good riddance too, cuz he was an "terrible and evil man." Taking offense, Robert picked up a pool stick and we started slow-motion pool stick fighting while playing "O Fortuna" in the background. Finally, I killed Robert by stabbing him, Ryan clarified that Vonnegut was in fact still alive, and we ended by playing "What a Wonderful World" while Robert still lay dead. Hehe, it was so great. Best presentation ever!

Sleep: Simply put, I've been losing it. I planned on taking a half hour nap, do some HW, and then get ready for Tae Kwon Do. I slept for 3 hours. Not fun. Well, it was kinda fun, but it also means I'm gonna stay up a little later tonight too. (shrugs) I guess it was worth it, I do feel much better.

Highsmith: Simply put, he needs to fucking die. I want to strangle him and feel the life being drained away from him by my own hands. Well, maybe he doesn't need to die, but he has no business coming in during the 4th quarter of the year and tell us what we should and shouldn't know. Fuck you, shithead.

(Things I was gonna say yesterday)

Robert Schultz has the coolest dad ever!!!
I miss Palm Lake Apartments....
My first time hosting Nintendo trivia went pretty well, although I wish more people had showed up. I had to change some of my questions at the last minute simply because I knew that the people in the chat room would be unable to answer the questions I had prepared. Oh, well.
I won a Gameboy Advance! W00t!!
Spoden final seems to be coming along nicely.
That's it, I guess...

Quote of the Day (with analysis): "You're....lookin' good today....as always" -Allen Liu
What the hell is that supposed to mean Allen? Is there something wrong with me?? I know I'm not the best lookin guy, but is it that bad?? (self-esteem gets shot to hell....)

Hehe, I know that's probably not what he meant by that, but what the hell did he mean? It was pretty confusing...
