Senior Buddy Auction!

Well, today was bundles of fun, and a perfect way to go back to school after Easter!!

Instead of going to school, we actually went to the gym for a fun, out-of-school day! Then again, any day out of school tends to be fun...

Anyways, we had our annual Senior Buddy auction! You basically auction off each of the seniors in the graduating class, and people bid on them, and the highest bidder gets that senior as his buddy to do anything he commands! Mwahaha! The teachers also put up extra credit points, cookies, steak dinners cooked by them, etc. All the money raised goes to homecoming next year! Woot!

So, naturally, I bought a senior for $16, and split him 50-50 with my friend, who'lll take him half the day, me the other half! I know him from drama and stuff, and he's a pretty neat guy. I get to dress him redonculously, he'll bring in boardgames to play during class, buy me lunch and slurpees, etc.

Then we had a bunch of class gainst class competitions. I tied the donut-eating comp. for my class with the seniors. -fist pump- And then we went bowling to raise money for a homeless shelter!

So all-in-all, a good day, and no homework for me!

Getting up early: No...
Running: Yup!
Flossing: Yup!

Looks Like This is the Last Post for a While

So guess what guys?

I think I'm going to give up the internetz for Lent! o.o

I've wanted to do this for a couple years now, but I've never really thought I could do it, but now I figure I might as well try, no?

So this might be the last post for quite sometime... I might give myself a break every Sunday to drop a few lines! :P

Naturally, I need it for French class and e-mail, so I'll let myself check those, but that's all! If you really need to tell me something, drop some mail to paulkizzleboy@aim.com

I'll see you all later! Au revoir!

Musing on the Subject of Life

Lately, I've been thinking quite a bit, about religion, morality, philosophy, and life in general.

In other words, I've been doing the same old thing! :D I love a good thinker.

Anyways, my recent "reason for life" philosophy isn't anything new, me thinks, but it took me a while to sort of centralize my thoughts around one word: caring.

Now, this is going to sound Barney-esque... but caring makes the world go 'round.

I've been thinking this through, and the only reason we feel emotions is because we care. We feel happy when someone we care about achieves a goal, or when something we care about gets lost, we feel sad.

And it goes beyond emotions. Lately, I see in my peers and myself a general attitude of "whatever". There's no impetus, no zeal for anything! Learning, fine arts, philosophy, and anything that requires effort, it seems, are just thrown to the side, and that just makes me sad. Hardly any of my classmates read, and they see it as a punishment instead of a way to learn and grow!

Maybe this is just me, but entertaining philosophical thoughts and just higher thinking once in a while is a good thing. It keeps your mind open to possibilities and lets you grow as a person. If you care about yourself and others, truly care, wouldn't you want to do everything possible to help them?

Would we still have poverty, war, and fierce, bitter resentment and arguments if everyone just cared for each other and wanted the best for them?

Again, not a revolutionary thought in the least, but as of now, I'm making a resolve to simply care more and not be so "whatever". I don't want to lose the ability to think, or the ability to care and love.

(... Man, that all sounds cheesy! :P)

Woot, Woot!

Guess WHAT?!?!?!

I got my own, unabridged copy of Les Mis today! -does very happy dance-

And I'm going to a party!!! -gets ready to dance-

And there's 8 inches of snow on the way!!!!! -does snow dance in hopes of a now day Monday-

And I got to sleep in today! -dances because he has energy-

And I feel like I want to get things done! -stops dancing to finish homework, clean room, and make card-

WOOT!

Meery Popp'ns!

I found this little series on Protagonize completely amusing! It's a fan-fiction of Mary Poppins!!! :D

Check it out here! You won't regret it!

It's Friday!

FINALLY!

I've been waiting all week for this day to come, and now that it's come, it's been an awesome day. I watched movies in two classes, had a test in another, a quiz in another, and no homework in any class except English! The only bad thing about it is that I have play practice 6 - 8, so no plans for me...

But I have Swedish Fish!
SCORE!

Tomorrow looks like it'll be a pretty regular day until the afternoon, and I get to go to a partay later! Woot woot!

In other words, let's hope this'll be a fun weekend! I hope you all have a great one, too!

Doodle!

Here's a doodle I drew on my right arm in some class today. ( I forget which one...)


I'm pretty happy with it, considering I don't know what it is (some monkey/bear cross?), it was inspired by a scribble, and I drew it with my left hand!!! Hooray for ambidextrousness!

Radieux!

That means dazzling in French!

My day wasn't too bad today, but not quite something I would call dazzling. Just a regular day at school, with a slightly lower homework load... I got chastised today for not keeping up with my online French course, too. XP

We had an interesting discussion in Religion class today, though. It was about if looking at a person's actions and judging that action is okay if judging a person's overall level of good or evil isn't okay. This may sound really boring and everything, but it was really quite intense... I want to start a debate club at my school now! :D

Oh well, that'll have to wait until another day... -yawn- I think it's high time for a nap...

Epically Awesome Failure!

EPIC FAIL!

I found this insanely amusing at 11:53 PM.

Use this gift wisely.

The Game. I just lost it, and so did you.

Many people haven't heard of The Game, but, on the other end of the spectrum, many people have. It's one of the strangest and, I quote, "the most fantastic, the most revolutionary, the most intangible game on Earth."

I can try to explain it to you, and the rules are on the unofficial website.

Okay, so here's how it works. If you think of the Game, you lose the game. If you lose the game, you have to announce to everyone around you that you've lost the Game, causing them to think of the Game, and in turn lose it, and announce it to everyone around them, etc.

It doesn't matter what makes you think of the Game, but as long as you think of it, you lose. You might be reading a blog, and then remember this sweet blog post where you read about this game... BAM! You just lost the game. Announce it to everyone around you, post it as a status on Facebook or Twitter, or send emails to your friends.

You probably still don't understand, and it's hard to explain when you're not in person. But once you have your family and friends in on the game, it's immense fun to announce int he middle of dinner, "Oh, and I lost the Game today," and hear their groans of anguish and the numerous insults thrown in your direction.

So try it out next time you have a gathering of some sort and, seeing as most of the people around you won't know what it is, explain and become the life of the party.

Oh, by the way, you just lost the Game. :p
