269-272

Oh jeez.

Well, for the record, Monday and Tuesday were mostly uneventful. As was Wednesday. Except, it was cold on Wednesday. I hate the cold. And it was cold today, Thursday. But I get to wear my Apocalyptica gloves now! So all is not lost, yet I still hate the cold. Praying for a quick end to fall/winter/the early, cold part of spring already.

So, since Blogger messes up whenever I try several pictures next to each other, I'm going to go ahead and describe them to you. First was taken on Wednesday. The Pit has a thing about pineapples, and I think Erin may have missed Vet Appreciation Day. So instead, Erin went ahead and got her Vet this awesome cape. SuperVet, to the rescue!

Next, it's me again! I had to take a picture for my sister. My mother, sister, and I are all auditioning for Wheel of Fortune. Why? Well, why not? I've been watching it for ages, and I even called out a letter during a show when I was only a 1.5 years old. It'd be cool to appear on it!

Then, I present to you, PAPER! That's my two stories right there, a combined 61 pages of paper. I did some hardcore editing today (if you can call it "hardcore") in the Student Center. It was nice to sit down and just read/edit for once.

Finally, the healthiest my fridge has ever been. Dean's French Onion Dip, Dr. Pepper, and orange juice. I had to grab some things from Publix yesterday after band, and while I was there I decided to grab the orange juice. I keep finding myself lacking in something to drink with my ramen at night, and this works out better than Dr. Pepper.

So there you have it! Four pictures, four days.

today's video is awesome physics...

Day 267, 268

Whee! Two pictures!

Picture: More flowers!

Background: I'm home again! These are sitting on the nearly-almost-not-quite-done deck. I'll probably be taking more pictures of it tomorrow when I get a chance. Considering my "busy" schedule, I'll probably get a chance. Lots of people came over today: Brother and his kids, sister and her husband+kid, and a guy who randomly drives in and talks to Dad. His name is Carl. My Dad's name isn't Paul, though. If it was, I would giggle.

Anyway, there was some stuff that led to a bonfire today. That led to this fireball of a picture to be taken. I got to throw a bit of my hard work into the fire and see it turn into ash. We used the wood stripped form the old deck to make the fire. It got pretty tall at one point (and I've got some pictures to prove it, too). The wind was relatively low save for the wind from the fire blowing the trees. It was intense.

But yeah, that's been my last few days. Steak for dinner? Yes please!

Day 266

Sometimes, you gotta take a stand.

Picture: God Loves You!

Background: And today, I stood against fundamentalist Christians who told several people that they were going to Hell for their sins. It was like Oprah: "You go to Hell! And you go to Hell! Everybody goes to Hell!" Well I wasn't happy with what they were saying, so I made this sign. It's kinda rushed, but all I had was a sharpie and the cheap poster board I had bought at Burdell's. I made the sign and stood behind the hate-filled people. I'm pretty sure I was called a sodomite at one point (I heard a guy with a megaphone tell someone that there was "a sodomite behind you", but I wasn't sure if he was talking to me. He seemed like he was facing my direction). All I did was stand behind the haters and hold the sign. A good friend got his own poster and joined me.

Plenty of people got my picture, which made me smile. I doubt I'll ever see the pictures, but I know they'll be out there somewhere. I also got plenty of words of agreement and "Good job" and things like that. Hey, I'm just doing what needs to be done. Those guys were making us Christians look bad.

And lastly, props go out to the Catholic priest who was ripping their logic apart with the faith. It was amazing to listen to, and I only heard him speak for around 2 minutes. The guy was grasping at straws the whole time.

Anyway, I'm finally home for Fall Break! Got my power cord this time, as opposed to last time where I had 10 minutes of battery left and wasn't daring to turn on my laptop all weekend. It'll be a nice, relaxing few days away from Tech for once...
