They do. But, my life has sort of been a mess since Christmas break. Wow.Has it really only been that long? It seems like ages...Ages since I've been able to think straightly, act normally around you.Ages since I haven't had this feeling in the pit of my stomach.I know I should be able to just forget it; it is my brain after all--but it isn't that easy.Oh well. Life goes on, and carries us all

Well, as most of my friends know, Rush is pretty much my favorite band at the moment. I almost called it my favorite "new" band, but then realized that you can't really use the title "new" in reference to a band that's been around for over 30 years. So, anyways, they pretty much rock my socks off. And, the obligatory lyrics:You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.If you choose not to

I was going through the contents of my computer, and I found the lyrics to a song by a group called "Grand Derangement," a French group I listen to. They were in a word file, and once I saw them, I had this sudden attack of nostalgia. I had put them there as part of my intention to study French over the summber before last- but I never did finish it. It's one of the things I've been kicking

I posted that last entry before I remembered the real reason that I had decided to blog...the feeling I had today. The best way I can think of to describe it is...Christmas. It feels like the feeling I get around Christmastime- a sort of zoned out feeling, like I'm detached from the world. Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's just life. Who knows?I certainly don't.

Well, as the Car Talk guys might say, "You've squandered another perfectly good summer."I can't believe it's over. Wow. It's been a blast and a half. Shakespeare, driving, making friends, becoming better friends with some, saying goodbye to friends.It's like this rain we've been having is ushering out the summer, and ushering in fall. I can only hope that this school year will be as much fun as

Okay, so maybe a blog that I haven't posted in for about half a year, and which I'm not sure half my friends know exist, is the best place to be putting this post, but oh well. I wanted to say it somewhere, and here is as good a place as any...So, here it is: I was looking at the archive of livejournal posts for Hillary (doing research for this stupid memoir), and I've had to ask myself: What

Well, The Odd Couple is officially over, now that we've had the cast party. Hooray for this cast party, since I got to see people that I hadn't seen since Summer Shakespeare. Stephanie and Jessie Mac- two very cool people. Apparently the fact that I have a girlfriend is considered interesting- and apparently it's fun to "aww" at me for it. Not that I didn't already know that. Whatever. Now I

Well, I went to Plymouth State Drama Days on Friday with the Drama Club. It was a good time, for the most part. I am really jealous of their sound system- they had a 40 channel mixer, with 6 outputs- like a 5 foot long board. Suffice to say, it rocks. We got to see Guys and Dolls, as performed by the Plymouth State College students. They did a good job of it, in my opinion. The drama kids were

I'm sorry to say this, but a few changes have had to be made to the way people can post comments on the blog. First of all, everyone must now register. It's free, and stops a lot of the comment spam. Also, you must now type in a word from a picture. I realize that they are annoying, but the ad comments are more so, in my opinion.

Every school year (or so), I promise myself that I will keep this stupid blog up to date. However, I have yet to do it for any good length of time. Let's see if I can set a new record. Somehow, I doubt it, but we'll see.Anyways, I just got back about 5 hours ago from what was supposed to be the Salem band show- where a bunch of bands go and perform in a competition-type thing. However, due to

Hey, sorry again about the rather long (4 months, cough cough) gap between posts. It won't happen again, I swear. The blogging gnomes are beating me as we speak. So anyway, with all of the obligatory apologies out of the way, let's get down to business. I'm part of a show at school called Bang Bang, You're Dead. It was written by a guy named William Mastrimone (almost positive I spelled that

Sorry about the rather long gap between my last post and this post- I've been busy, and haven't had much time. The crew's website is up and running, finally. Probably you don't care, but i'm proud and feel like posting it. For the Lego fans out there (cough, cough, Peter, cough), I went to a FIRST Lego League competetition yesterday.

I would just like to take this opportunity to say: I like marshmallows. No, that's not really what I wanted to say. What I really want to say is: I hate having nobody comment on my blog. So comment, darn it! Again, thank you. (although I didn't say it before)

Well, the camping trip went off without a hitch (except that it was windy as anything on the island). Good times were had by all. We took plenty of pictures, some of which are kind of funny due to the wind. Oh, we have a website. The website is here. Right now, the website is in placeholder form(think glorified "closed for renovations" sign) while I make up the real thing in Frontpage. The

Drama Club's performance is slated to go on November 11-14. We will be doing the play Harvey. This is a really funny play, in that one of the main characters is an invisible 6 foot tall rabbit. Should be a fun time, although this is the first year i haven't acted in a play in school since 4th grade. In other news, the Venture Crew (think Boy Scouts but coed and more adventurous) will be going on

Take a look at this song. If you don't like the state of our country today, you will probably like this. Hilarious. Oh yeah, and it was written by Eric Idle, of Monty Python. (sorry, link seems to be broken right now)

Today was one of those days. You know, the kind where everyone seems braindead. In otherwords, it seemed like a Friday. In math class, I misread "Joggers" as "Loggers", a prime, even number was said to be "nine", and my friend said "oh squared" rather than "zero squared". Sorry about the rambling. It's fun. In other news, i'm back in drama club. Woo-hoo. I'm ASM (assistant stage manager). Woo-hoo

I got a Gmail account today. Well, actually, i got 2 Gmail accounts today. They seem pretty cool- they make good places for storage (lol). I will periodically, as i get them, and after my family and friends get accounts, give out Gmail invites on this blog. Sometimes they may be for nothing, other times, you may have to do stuff for them. We'll see. Anyways, i'm back in school. It's good so far

Well, i'm back. Where have I been, you ask? Well, many places. Okay, just 2 places, but that's ok. For a week, I was at band camp, learning how to march, play, and other stuff. From August 22nd until August 31st, we were in Alabama, dropping my sis off at Space Camp. It is really hot in Alabama, especially this time of year. We spent a few extra days there as a family vacation, since my sister

Well, the Segway's gone now. It has been brought back to the guy in Milford who it belongs to. I was looking forward to meeting the guy, but he was bike riding when we brought it back, so we left it with his wife. Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted. Hey, on the way there, listening to NPR (National Public Radio), I heard that over 90% of the American populous had a possible carcinogen, PFOA, in

I almost feel sorry to bring this subject up, but, at least for me, I only have 4 weeks left of summer vacation. Where the heck does it always seem to go? Last thing I knew, I was walking out of school saying, "Finally, freedom!" Well, the freedom is almost over, and then it's back to the same old thing- except that I am going to a new school this year. Well, at least there's something to look

Finally! Peaseant's Quest is out! It is harder than it looks. It's fun though. Peter Roberts, of the Bulbous Blog, managed to get a 148 of 150 (and probably got the last 2 points as well). I've only got 4 points so far, waahh!

The Actorsingers have once again pulled off another of their great shows. This time it was the Teen Actorsingers, but it was still good. The show was "The Wiz", a hilarious modern-day adaptation of the musical and movie "The Wizard of Oz". This show was why we had the aforementioned Segway at our house for a week. I wasn't really involved with this show, but I was able to help out with odd jobs

Take a look at this when you get the chance. It's the peak oil blog. This blog shines the spotlight on what is going to happen to our oil reserves soon. While a lot of this blog may seem rather extreme, much of it is true, and presents a growing problem that the world will have to face soon.

Since Thursday, my family has had a Segway HT at our house temporarily, while it is in use by a local theater group that my dad works with. Those things are awesome! I think that i've logged more time on it than anyone else in my family. The thing is, it is so easy to get the hang of, that you can start using it within minutes of getting on it. Basically, you lean forward to go forward, lean back

Hi! And welcome to my blog! This is my first experience with a blog, so it will be a learning experience for me, as well as anyone else. I will do my best post to this blog at least once a week, but I hope to post more often. Feel free to check back as often as you want, and to comment on anything!
