Crustaceans 2007-05-18 11:03:00 I dissected a crayfish today. I won't be eating any crabs, lobsters, or any seafood for that matter for a while. It was kind of gross. You had to use scissors to cut open the exoskeleton, which made a delightful crunching noise. Yummy. The internal organs weren't as in depth as the worms. No blood this time (as the audience breathes a sigh of relief). Honestly, my crayfish (dubbed "Vincent" by Jordan) was not exactly blog worthy. I was, however, the only one to make the incession with the heart in tact, which I was quite proud of. ...

I Less Than Three.... 2007-05-17 10:58:00 C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Gloss. I have had a really crappy week, but this is making it all better. Sort of. Today at least. When nothing else is going your way, it helps to have shiny lips tingling with great mint taste. And I can't lick it off, which is good for me. Sorry, didn't have much to blog about. And homeroom is short today. So, just deal with it. ...

Thursday 13 #16 (The most uninspired) 2007-05-16 23:00:00 I would like to celebrate my finally deciding on my target school (should I get some good scholarships) with a very boring TT. I apologize in advance. My comments may consist of a stern talking to if need be. For those of you who don't know, I am hoping to get a B.F.A.-Musical.Thirteen Classes I Can Look Forward To Starting in Fall '09 at *drumroll* Marietta College THEA 101: Theatre Appreciation: Theatre appreciation is a study of live theatre and how it is produced,how it has developed historically and culturally, andhow it is evaluated and analyzed. This course examines theatreas a collaborative art form by focusing on the viewpoints of itsimage-makers (playwright, actor, director, producer, anddesigners). Participation in the creation of art helps enable anappreciation of that art form. Hence, students in this coursewill have hands-on experience in the production of live theatre.In addition, students will learn to critically evaluate dramatictexts and performance.THEA 103: Play ...

I May Cry.... 2007-05-16 13:24:00 I was looking forward to doing something other than camp this summer. I was going to act. Bruce Jacklin and Company (AKA-The Players) put on a musical every summer. I was going to audition. The play this year is awesome. Beauty and the Beast. Last year was Brigadoon. I'd say they're moving up. Anywho, I was going to audition for the play and spend my summer increasing my resume for Marietta and Akron. I was psyched. But guess what? My life just can NOT just ONCE go as planned. Auditions were 2 weeks ago. AGGGGHHH!!!! EVERY year they announce it at school, but the one year that they don't is the one that they do a good play! My life chews watermelon gum sometimes. ...

Annelids 2007-05-16 11:06:00 Note: If you have a weak stomach, then this post is not for you. Move along?So, today I had my annelid dissection- an earthworm. As I am sure I have mentioned before, I love my lab group. Here?s the run-down of who is in it-Brett- who I went to preschool with. He?s just insane. Not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box, but we can deal. He?s not normally in my group, but he was a nice substitute for Luke, let me tell you. Luke?s a pain.Jordan- who always works with me. She?s scared of touching things that squirm, so she left the dissection to me. She?s a happy emo, which is very rare, but we don?t judge.Tyler- my fellow drama sheep. He?s a crazy man. And scared of worms. He has way too much fun in labs.So, we were divided up into two groups, me with Jordan and Brett with Tyler. We each received a worm, and hilarity ensued.When it comes to dissections, I am extremely careful. I pay attention to detail. I am in the zooooooooooone. But I digress. I cut the first incision about half an in ...

Oh Happy Day... 2007-05-15 21:20:00 I think I already had a post with this title, but oh well.Today, I had a meeting with my mom and Mrs.Earnest, the school guidance counselor. She read my incident report, which was exactly the same as the blog post that I wrote about the whole situation (I copied and pasted) and she said that although it was not a funny story, the way I wrote it got her laughing. But no matter, she said that she and the vice-principal, Mr.Shuman, will be discussing the situation with X and the following conditions will be hammered out-He is to leave me alone.His friends are to leave me alone.He is not to discuss anything pertaining to me to my friends.My friends will do likewise.My mom said this sounded like a fair deal and so the logistics will be worked out, the stalking by him and his friends should stop by Monday, and if it doesn't, then I am to go to the guidance counselor again to discuss legal action. Goody.Also, I logged on to EC and had a friend request from MX's girlfiend...errr....friend... ...

Well, eventually everything will improve 2007-05-14 11:04:00 This weekend has been miserable. Today hasn?t helped a whole lot.For those of you who don?t yet, my Great-Grandma Ryan was diagnosed with a brain tumor this weekend, or at least that?s when I found out about it. The doctors are giving her steroids and I think a little bit of radiation, but they give her six months. I?m more in shock than anything else. I mean, last Sunday, no, on Tuesday actually, she was just fine, and now she?s going to die? That just doesn?t make sense to me.I found out about this whole thing on Saturday and just kind of sat there after my dad told me. I didn?t really have an emotion to express. I got to Sunday School yesterday though and I broke down. I talked to Mistie about it and she assured me that everything would be okay (and licked me. Don?t ask.) but I?m not sure.The biggest pain in this whole scenario is the memories this brings back. This is almost exactly like when my Grandma Ryan died 6 years ago. They found the cancer the same way, are doing the same t ...

For My Mom 2007-05-12 23:00:00 I OWE MY MOTHER1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATEA JOB WELL DONE."If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning."2. My mother taught me RELIGION."You better pray that will come out of the carpet."3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL."If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"4. My mother taught me LOGIC." Because I said so, ! that's why."5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC."If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."6. My mother taught me FORESIGHT."Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident."7. My mother taught me IRONY"Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."8.

So, Here's what's been causing me great stress 2007-05-11 08:15:00 Today, thanks to a teacher pass to work on my ?Celebration of Literature? project-an epilogue to Midsummer Night?s Dream- I got out of gym. This was also due to the great sub?s policy of every Friday being a free day. I would gladly welcome any chance to get out of that class after the past couple weeks. So, because I have the most severe brainlock ever, I?m going to rant, hoping that something comes back to me.I would like to know why on earth I can?t possibly have a normal, Christian guy like me. I always end up with the weird and/or creepy ones. Like right now.I have only had to resort to going to a guidance counselor because of an idiot boy once before, and that was in sixth grade. You?d think that guys would grow out of this stuff after a while.About 2 weeks ago this all started. I don?t remember EXACTLY what the first tip off I got was, but I?m pretty sure that it was when this jerk started saying hi to me obsessively. I know that sounds touchy, but if someone says hi to you 10 t ...

Cheesier than a gallon of nachos 2007-05-11 05:46:00 So, I saw SpiderMan 3 on the internet on Wednesday night. Allow me to sum it up in 3 words.DON'T GO SEE IT!!!It was absolutely horrible. The visual effects were great, but the plot skipped around and the acting was pretty bad.Oh, and my friend Nikki, who knows my love for Topher Grace, asked me, "Didn't Toper in tights help at all?""Well, yeah, but only as much as one ibuprofen helps someone with a herniated disc." ...

Return to a Passion 2007-05-06 21:10:00 Today has been an interesting day for me. I haven't taught Sunday School since about a month before our resignation from Minerva, so I was pleasantly surprised to see things in life even out a little today.First off, I have great news that is accompanied by a prayer request. I got the okay from Pastor Kramer today, should we be able to get the kids to come to church, to start a Spanish Speaking Sunday School class. I asked Sis. Missy Potter and Jessica Parsons if they would be interested in helping and they both said yes. Now the only thing to do (Ha! look at me saying that like it's going to be easy. I don't have that much faith!) is to get the kids to come. Apparently, people have visited the house next to the church, which is full of Hispanic people, and they are fairly closed-minded about that. Hopefully they will be more open to sending their kids and through the kids, will be more apt to come to church. Please pray for God to open some doors and for guidance where this is con ...
