Dry Georgian
I don't know what that means, but it hints I've arrived in Georgia. Today I saw a friend of mine from last year. Last year, she was a hottie, and probably a hottie with big plans. Today when I saw her, she was working in a local grocery market and had gained a small amount of weight. This is something I've avoided at all costs, being stuck in the same old town, working in a small store, not getting anywhere. Now, I'm not saying she's not getting anywhere; she could be working through college, which would be great for her, but statistically...
Tomorrow is another friend's graduation; it'll be a good day tomorrow.

Double Eww
Yes, girls have an affinity to me... and every time, it ends up being an uber-underaged female. This time it happened to be a 10 year old, and my friend can confirm that. It's her cousin, she'd know; which makes me wonder why she wouldn't stop her before she even started to tell me she was 18 etc. Gross, enough of that.
So, this last week has been fun. I've been out to dinner a couple times, I've visited the Banff Springs Hotel (castle-esque). Very nice place to visit, and expensive to stay even one night, I'm sure. In addition to visiting the hotel, I also got to watch StarWars Episode 2 in the Banff theatre. And the DVDs I've watched... American Pie 2, A Knights Tale, Planet of the Apes, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, Titan AE. I'm probably forgetting a couple.
In Lord of the Rings, I've read up to where the Fellowship departs. In fact, they are still upon the steps of the Last Homely House.
OH! Last night, it was raining and raining. I'd never have imagined this late in the season to wake up to 4 inches of snow. May 22!!! SNOW!!??!? It's summer time. I'll be flying away from it tomorrow, 8am I leave. Fun stuff, blog later.

Stalked
Not to blow my own horn or anything, but young females seem to have an affinity toward me over the internet. Like I was "Truman" fom "The Truman Show" and they were all my fans wanting a piece of me. How true could that be? I mean, if I was the star of my own show... never mind. Anyway, I was chatting with a friend of mine today on MSN. She was visiting her friends in the town were we went to school. She lives in Calgary, she's in BC visting right now. I'm in Canmore, only 40 minutes from Calgary, visiting.
A couple hours after our conversation ended, she started chatting again. Except it wasn't her, but her cousin. So she outright starts flirting and asks me if I'm single. We're both 18, etc. She used the 'heart' icon a few times, then called me sweetcheeks and 'huny' a few times. I showed her a couple pictures of myself, she asked if I wanted to see her. I said 'please' and she responded she'd rather we met in person first, but she did have pictures. So 2 minutes pass and no picture; shortly after, she responds with an excuse why she didn't send (her parent had to use the computer) etc etc.
So, if she doesn't send me a picture before the month is over (and she'd better send a picture if she continues to call me huny and sweetcheeks) then it'll be a month until I see her in person. And then it would be a surprise and could go good, could go bad... and what am I saying? Internet relationships suck, so that's not going to happen. When stuff like this gets thrown at you, it's time to run.
-Run man! RuN!

He's A Super Hero
StarWars Episode 2 was very good, probably the best of the bunch, so far. The first day-time showing since it opened Thursday and the theatre was half-empty. Now, let's analyze "half-empty" and "half-full". If I was expecting the theatre to be empty and 50% of the seats were used, I'd say the theatre was half-full because 'full > expectation'. If I was expecting the theatre to be full and only (notice now I use the word 'only' where I didn't previously) 50% of the seats were used, then the theatre was half-empty because 'empty < expectation'. That makes sense?
Now onto my super powers. I've discovered recently that I have the uncanny ability to piss people off at will. Tonight my Grandma was my victim when she, unfortunately for her, happened to set me off. She stated the obvious all too much, and presented it to me like it was news or some schitt. That offended me, so from that point on, I was very quick with my replies and non-communicative. Here's some general things that'll set me off:
1) Asking of my family (may include but is not limited to "So, how's X doing?" or "What is your X doing right now?" or "What is X planning on doing tonight?")
2) Small talk about my schooling (may include but is not limited to "You have to get this done" when the person has expressed no interest in my school work previously)
3) Inquisitions into my life (may include but is not limited to "What did you do today? Why did you do that? When did that happen? Who was there? What color was the shirt you were wearing? What color were your pants? Were you aware those colors don't go well together?")
As you can see, I like some privacy, and I may go to the extremes and insist that you have just trespassed on my personal life. There's a certain few people who may get away with a few questions on occasion. The last message I received from my Grandma was at 10:52pm and it is now 11:47pm. I've since written approximately 1000 words of discussion to her, with no reply. I know she's around because my Grandpa is still online, too. Here's a snippet of our discussion:
She asks me if I'm excited I'm going to Georgia, I reply by telling her I'm not excited and I've hardly given it any thought. That's my way of keeping the excitement to a minimum, I deal with it when the time comes. She explains my Mom and Dad are excited and looking forward to my visit. Well, thank you Miss Cleo. That was something I didn't know, and you are truely a divine person for enlightening me with your knowledge. Yes, that sounds a little harsh, but I never said that to her. In fact, I let it slide, I said nothing... untl a couple minutes later when I responded with an 'ok'. She tells me it's the truth, and to trust her. To which I replied my independance 'I don't need to trust anyone' and there she turns sour. She pushes on me I've got a bad attitude etc etc. I corrected her, explaining I was merely stating my will to not have to rely on other people. I never got a responce after that. She'll be loving me again tomorrow. So tonight, I'll watch "The Hobbit" on VHS and fall asleep, sleeping.
-Just thought I'd be helpful and tell you the sky is blue, in case you didn't know -- thanks for the help but it's really not necessary.

Vacation Si Teh Me
A 9 hour bus ride yielded two hours of sleep, 5 hours of reading (Lord of the Rings) and 2 hours of staring blankly at absolutely nothing, I'm sure. I was just able to check into my email now, as well as update myself on the current Aurora Toolset for Neverwinter Nights from BioWare. Seems the beta toolset was let loose upon the internet today, which is good news all around. Except I don't have my own computer to use it with for another month. Upon which time the game will, undoubtedly, be released.
Here's a new plan to my summer: I spend a week here, in Canmore, only 4 hours from BioWare's offices in Edmonton. I drive into Banff with my Uncle and Cousins and Aunty tomorrow; we all see "Star Wars Episode XCVII: Attack of the Returning Jedi Clones Who Strike Back at the New Hope" as a matine (mah-teh-nay -- it's french, don't ask). Then tomorrow night I go to some clubs and pick up underage women. After the week here, I spend a month in Georgia. Can't say much about the Georgia trip because it hasn't happened yet. After the month in Georgia, I fly back to Calgary; at which time I visit in Canmore for another week. Then to Revelstoke, then Kazlo, then down to Vancouver, then back to Vernon. I'll have my bags already packed when I return to Canadia so there's no harm spending another 2 weeks abroad.

No More School
The tunes of Jimmy Eat World carried me through the day, writing test and exam, until my ears hurt from the headphones being on them so long. My final course grade: 80.4% (with 67% on my exam). So hoorah hoorah at that stuff. So with my math out of the way, I'm free to go to Georgia and party like I'm not in school. I've got my condoms and lube packed, now I just have to find willing female companions to share them with. If you'd like to participate, you can contact me at...
So tomorrow I leave for Canmore, Alberta. I'll arrive at 5:35pm which gives me 4 hours to freshen up and prepare to hit the nightclubs (namely the Hard Rock Cafe and WiLD Bill's) in my 18 year-old legal fashion. Yeah, 18 is legal; so I'll be fresh game for any cougars out there who want to take a young stud home for the night. Oh, cougar? Nah, too old. I meant any 17-20 year olds. My Uncle Dave has promised to keep me non-sober for the entire week I'm there. He's vowed on my life I'll arrive in Georgia with a 7-day hangover. w00t! Bring on the liquor. Oh yeah, and the young hotties.

School bay-bee
Now will you look at that beautiful piece of art-work? It's excellent, the best screenshot to ever come out of a kid's imagination
But seriously, now (although I get a stiffy every time I look at that 'screenshot) it's time to seriously consider some serious stuff, seriously. I spent 8 hours at school today, from approximately 1am to 9am. That's with a hair-cut sometime inbetween, today, too.
My math stuff is coming along quite well! Though I'm about 2 hours behind schedule
I didn't get Chapter 10 finished today, though I did complete roughly 9/11 of it (9 units of 11 from Chapter 10). So tomorrow I'll finish chapter 10, then write the Chapter 10 test. Then study for an hour for the final math exam. Then spend the next three hours after that writing the final math exam. Shock and horror, I just lost my stiffy 
Oh yeah, now about my haircut with the
hairdresser. I entered the salon for the second time ever, the last time was before December. The hairdresser was talking with a typical hairdresser lisp. Him and the receptionist were talking about cake and the hairdresser was saying stuff like "girlfriend" other hairdresser words. I had washed my hair before going to get my hair cut because I'd generally prefer if washing my hair was left up to me. I guess I didn't know that on Men's night, in which the hairdresser is the only stylist in the salon, the shampoo/conditioning is included in the low-low price of $13. So for the first time ever, a man washed my hair. A man no less. Regardless, he did a good job, even though he shortened my hair to half it's original length when I've been attempting to grow it out for the last 4 months.

oops
I, uh, appear to have brought down DungeonPlanet singlehandedly. See, I posted this picture, claiming it was an in-program picture of a "Beta Toolset" in use. I didn't specifically say it was the Aurora Toolset, or at least I hope I didn't. I then posted the link (it's the DungeonPlanet link to the left) in the General Discussion forum of BioWare. That was 30 minutes ago, and only 7 minutes ago the site stopped responding all together. I'll upload the pic later, after school so you can all see what it is I'm talking about.

Must Update
The picture of my Redgaurd wearing the robe was starting to get annoying, time to bump it down a little. I went to the college yesterday to work out my course selection. It didn't go too well
. Apperantly I'm still enrolled in highschool and still haven't graduated; like hell. So I've got to call some lady and tell her to straighten it out, or at least walk her through it. Now I've got 5 years of school, rather than the average 4 years, mostly because work caused me to flunk out of Math 12 and fall into Math 11. 3 days left to finish my math course, I think I'm making good time. I finished Chapter 7 yesterday, today I'll finish chapter 8 and write tests 8 and 9. Then I'll get started on Trigonometry tonight, finish it tomorrow, study for the exam all night and write the Exam Thursday.
I ask my Dad when is a good day for me to go to my Uncle's (by bus) so I can visit before I go away. He mumbles and grumbles, then pauses for a minute, then grumbles again. Then he tells me he wants me to finish my math first. It's about that time I want to slap him out of his drunken stupor because explaining the same thing to the same person over and over really pisses me off; as my Mom, unfortunately, is proof of that. But this isn't about her, it's about him. So I explain again that whether I leave Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, if I haven't got my math finished by Thursday then I'm not going to get it done at all. So it doesn't matter what day I go, I tell him. Trust him to forget that in another 12 hours (from now, thus 24 hours from yesterday).
I'll put in another 6 or 8 hours of school today, devoted to doing just math like the rest of the year's done to me. Except I usually only stayed at school for 3 hours, no longer. I averaged 2 hours, though. So only 15 hours a week. This week, I'll have 24 hours in; how's that for 4 chapters of work and an exam? The sooner I get this done, the sooner I can get the party started. Like a dog that has a habit of licking his balls, I just wanna have fun. No math = no worries = fun summer.

Treasure Hunter
That's not an edited image. What you're looking at is a Robe that restores 15 health per second, when damaged, and 15 fatigue per second. I can hold myself under water until I run out of breath and I don't die, I don't even notice the health bar diminishing.
Sound too good to be true? It probably is; it sounds too good for me. Must be a bug, and if it's not, then I'm extremely lucky to have found it. It must be as rare as an icicle in satans ass. Eww, I don't know where I came up with that metaphor.
Here's where I found it: The Daedric Shrine on one of the two islands immediately south-east of Seyda Neen, the city you start in. You'll encounter Fire Atriarchs, some Cthulu looking baddie, Corprus dudes and Ash Slaves. I had to use two icarian scrolls of flight to get to the end of the dungeon; however, I suppose I could have gotten away with using one if I had gone the right way. Hrm, you might also want to bring the six ash statues found in the wrecked ship near Hla Oad. I saw that six were missing from inside the dungeon. Wonder what would happen if they were put back? I don't know, I sold mine long ago -- stupid me. Anyway, when you're at the end of the dungeon, look up at a 45* angle away from the back of the dungeon. You'll see where you need to go. Potions of Levetation do the trick and are probably preferable over Icarian Flight.

4..3...2..1...
Yup, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; the only days of school I've got left before I'm off to Georgia. 4 days to cram Chapter tests 7 through 10 and write the exam... I might be able to pull it off.
Monday: School, college appointment, dentist appointment. Chapter 7 written today, finish Chapter 8.
Tuesday: School, school etc. Finish and write Chapter 8 test and possibly 9. Get started on Chapter 10.
Wednesday: Finish Chapter 10, maybe write the test. Spend tonight reviewing Chapters 1 through 10 for tomorrow's exam, if I've gone according to this plan.
Thursday: Write the Exam -- Or Write Chapter 10 and the exam. Depends on what I've got left.
So that's my little schedule, which is very tough. I'm trying to cram two weeks of work into 4 days, it IS possible because school opens at 9am and is open until 9pm every day, except Monday (closes at 4:30) and Friday, closes at 12. So I won't be going to school Friday. That day I'll be on my way to Banff, hopefully.
If I miss any of my tests and whatnot in the next 4 days then I'll hopefully be able to cram them into June 24 and 25. Doubtful, though, because those days are report card/grading days. I don't think they'd appreciate me writing tests when they're finishing up the year already.

Yup, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday; the only days of school I've got left before I'm off to Georgia. 4 days to cram Chapter tests 7 through 10 and write the exam... I might be able to pull it off.
Monday: School, college appointment, dentist appointment. Chapter 7 written today, finish Chapter 8.
Tuesday: School, school etc. Finish and write Chapter 8 test and possibly 9. Get started on Chapter 10.
Wednesday: Finish Chapter 10, maybe write the test. Spend tonight reviewing Chapters 1 through 10 for tomorrow's exam, if I've gone according to this plan.

CAMPER!
I'm back a day early from camping, and just as well anyway. It was costing my Dad $20 a night to have me there, so I only stayed one night. I was following my cousin's girlfriend back today, and she in turn was following my cousin. They were going too slow for my liking so 5 minutes into the drive back (along the dirt road) I stopped my car completely. I gave them a 30 second start on me, could have been more, could have been less. Judging by the (fun) results I wasn't thinking right. They were doing 50km/h down the road, I was doing 65. Not much of a difference, really, but it was enough to catch up to them. So I was going around the corners all sliding and having fun when I get out of a corner onto a straight stretch of road and my car starts to slip on loose gravel. Doesn't sound exciting to you but when I was nearly run off the road twice within 5 seconds, it was lots of fun for me :)
Yesterday was a lot of moping around, and eating, and not doing much else in general. Today was a "study" day, where I spent most of the day reading through my math work. Then I just decided to come home, here I am. The end

Rational Thinking
I really do fly away on May 23, which is really cool because I'll make it for Newnan Highschool and East Coweta's grad. I just want to make it to EC's so I can see a certain friend before she moves away to New York. Newnan's grad will be good, too, if I can make it. I've got various friends I'd like to see then, too.
May 29, the day of my college appointment, I'll just register online, or get another college-apt friend to register for me. And my sister offered to drop off the $100 deposit for registration, as well. So that's cleared up, but finishing my math course isn't. I've got 4 days of school left before I leave, thanks for next Monday being a holiday. That's 4 days to try and finish chapters 7 through 10 and write the exam as well. All that needs to be done with chapter 7 and 9 is to write the tests seeing how I've finished those already. Chapter 8 (advanced Geometry -- fairly easy) and Chapter 10 (Trigonometry) are all that's holding me back. That and the fact that I'm really rushed for time. So whatever I don't get done in the next 4 days, I'll have to get that done June 24 and 25, 25 being the last day of school.

House Sitting, is that - like - baby sitting?
Tuesday night I get a call from my Aunt (GASP! Here's a name -- the name of Peter Parker's Aunt) asking for my Grandpa. That was at 4pm, when she let me know my Grandpa's brother, and thus my great-uncle, had just had a severe heart attack. 4:30pm I got a call from that man's son, asking for someone else I had no idea of. Come 5 or 6pm, my Grandpa's other brother calls and tells me that his brother had died and not to have me tell my Grandpa, but that he'd take care of it. So that was Tuesday night.
Tuesday afternoon, I was in school. I got my chapter 5 test results back -- not too good
. Only 52% on that test, bringing my mean grade down to 82%, but my overall grade down to 56%. Not too good at all. So I wrote the chapter 6 test, same question formula over and over, so I either passed with 100% or I failed with 0%. And on the topic of school, today I spent 2 hours 17 minutes at school. In social terms, that means I spent 1 hour 50 minutes talking and being distracted with all the female eye candy. The other 27 minutes was spent rushing through a short chapter 9 in all it's statistical glory.
Morrowind update: I started a new character, two actually. Another Thief, but this time it's a Lizard-man, I forget what their race is called. He's a NightBlade. A magic user, more or less, but I use him as a thief, the magic is just to enhance his thieving abilities. My other character, my newest and current favorite, is a RedGuard Knight. He kicks ass.
***BREAKING NEWS***
My Mom tells me she bought my plane ticket to Georgia already. The plane leaves May 23 and is a non-refundable ticket. Why is this bad? Because I've got an appointment May 29 at the college regarding registration and my courses. NON-FREAKING-REFUNDABLE TICKET?!?!? 0_o NON-RESCHEDUABLE-COLLEGE-MEETING. Good -- Bad... I'm falling right now, I'm upside down. You've heard that before, it's probably an equilibrium thing, but I feel like I'm hanging from the ceiling at this news. I'mma go now.

Beta Testing
I feel as if I'm beta testing Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind for Bethesda Softworks. The first day playing it was fine, I hadn't gotten very far in the game, nor was I doing much. Now, however, I find the game crashes on me 3 or 4 times in a 1 or 2 hour session. It happens only 3 or 4 times because I get frustrated with the game and stop playing after that. Here's the bugs I've encountered so far:
1)) You fall through the floor when you bunny hop, happens often enough for you to ph34r jumping. If a lake is underneath you (Vivec City) then you end up falling through all layers of ground until you splash into the water where you need to swim around until you find a place out. If there is no water beneath you, count yourself lucky if you fall and the game automatically resets you on the floor where you fell through. The unlucky time is when you just fall and fall and fall... and fall.
2)) Game crashes when you quick load a game after someone has started talking to you. Can't be reproduced every time, but it happens often enough, as said before.
3)) I'm sure there's a third bug that annoys me.
You all know my system specs, but here they are again in case some Bethesda developer is actually reading this and wants to do something about these bugs.
AMD K-7 III 751MHz w/ 256MB PC-133 SD-Ram and a TNT2 pr0 32MB AGP. Gigabyte something or another motherboard. 15GB Maxtor 7200 RPM HDD.

I close the locked door behind me
And in turn I learn I don't have the keys to open that door. I locked myself out of my own house today at 2pm, and didn't have my car keys with me either because they were on the same loop as my house keys. I walked around the house 5 or 6 times, checking all the windows and doors. I even attempted to pick the lock of said door, and was almost successfull but I'm underexperienced. So I sat in my car, which I didn't have locked, and read the Lord of the Rings novel for 30 or 45 minutes before I fell asleep. My Dad got home after 5pm and I was back in the house. School was over by then, no point in going out after that.
