So now we fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm.

On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on.

Hmm...two blogs in one day. I must REALLY be bored. Though, I really do need to write something, since I haven't in a couple of days. And, so many exciting things have happened during that time gap! Now...where to begin?

...great, I can't even remember what happened on Thursday. I really think I was dropped on my head when I was a child, because I forget the most recent things, but I remember the most random things from a long time ago. Let me think...hmm...I THINK we got yearbooks on Thursday. Yeah, that's right, and they're terrible! Well, they're actually alright; they just have like a million mistakes. They misplaced the Jazz Band picture...twice. They mixed up the Homecoming float winners (I bet they're just mad that the Juniors won). Students and teachers were put into the wrong sections and club photos were swapped. Heck, some didn't even show up at all! Haha, ahh...Forensics.... Well, the only reason I ever buy yearbooks is for people to sign them, but I'm always too shy to ask anyone to sign mine, so I usually don't end up with much writing (Haha, but this year is different already!).

Let's see...yesterday, I went to the Walk-Out Rally for the first time ever, but I kind of regret it. The bleachers are surprisingly uncomfortable without Marching Band pants and everyone around me was screaming about how much they hated everything. Though, I did like that runner showing off his speed and agility in front of the school. The giant mob of people on top of the field at the end was interesting though; I never knew that happened at the rally. I kind of stayed off to the side and watched everyone attacking and hugging each other. And then, I started looking down and at the field and started feeling sad because I realized that I only get one more year to march on it.

Afterward, I went to Happy Sashimi and then met a security guard that convinced me that benches are meant to be looked at and not sat on. Then, I went to Daniel's house to film our project. If I recall correctly, it involved me wearing a Pokémon hat at one point and playing with a slinky...slinkie...?

After that exciting episode, we mosied on down to the school listen to the seniors perform at the Senior Recital for Conservatory. Just listening to them made me nervous for my turn next year. I'm already pretty sure I know what I'm doing and it's fairly, uh, challenging. I just need to get those 32nd notes down...and find a way to not be so nervous all the time when June 2010 rolls around. Sadly, I'm sure that time will creep up behind me way before I realize it.

Finally! About today! I awoke early this morning in order to prepare for my US History Subject test, which was to be administered at Oakland High School. However, there was an unforeseen obstacle that arose in the form of a malfunctioning electric pencil sharpener. Luckily, my mom was able to conjure a hand pencil sharpener, seemingly out of thin air. It was in the shape of a train, but since it was made in China, it didn't work very well, but at least it was able to get the graphite out of the wood.

And with that, I was off. Back to whence my father came! Er, at least, back to where my dad graduated high school. The test was hard; maybe it's because I didn't eat enough, or maybe I didn't get enough sleep. Anyway, after the test, Tony and I roamed about the three floors of the school. He discovered that there's light switch in the bathroom and decided to turn it off as we left, leaving two unfortunate boys in the dark...literally.


Once we got back to Pinole, I had myself a little bike adventure. I rode from Hercules to Fernandez Park to Collins to Red Onion to Tony's house to Daniel's house and then back to my house finally. I'm guessing that I rode about four or five miles today. This includes the dozens of times I had to ride up and down Canyon Drive for filming. On the way back home, I pulled a muscle in my leg and I could barely bend it at all. I think I started whimpering like a little sissy boy. Now, my legs feel like jelly...and my fingers are tired.

Tomorrow, I have to work on editing our video and maybe if I have time I'll find a way to install new video editing software! Hopefully without crashing my computer! And without contracting a virus! I'm using a lot of exclamation points, and I didn't even drink any coffee today!! I feel like I could write a lot more, but my fingers are getting tired from typing. Gosh, why must my thoughts be constantly stifled by my weak fingers?!
