[Be Yourself]
Went to Boston yesterday for Beantown Blitz. My directions to NEU said to take Storrow Drive, but as it turns out, Storrow Drive was closed down for the day, so I got pushed of to Gov't Center, and from there, I drove for about 3 hours in Boston before I got to the college. Some Asian guy in a tin foil hat asked me for a ride to Copley Square, and I was almost mugged by a parking lot attendant. When I finally got there, I went to the parking lot and the attendant screamed at me in Pakistani or something for a few minutes, then I gave him a $20 bill and he seemed happy, so then I went into the arena and watched the elimination matches and took pictures. After the comp I yelled at Corey for not even saying hi to me and then we talked with Lisa and Jeff Rodriguez and Elgin and Dez for a bit before leaving and going to eat at a rest stop. Corey got the last piece of regular chicken and I the last of the Spicy at Boston Market, so Dez started crying or something because he only got stuffing and macaroni and cheese.
We all took a picture before we left, and then I drove to a tollbooth and turned around in the middle of I90, which was lots of fun. Went back into Boston and picked an exit, lucked out and ended back on I93N, then got home about 11 or so.
Today I woke up at like 11 and went to Walmart with my mom and played with Light Sabers. When I got back, I worked on something she got at work for a few hours, and then when I was finished, I went to see Star Wars with Ryan. That was a good movie. So I got back at about 10, and here I am now...trying to download some music and failing...sigh.

[One Week]
I'm studying Existentialism in English class (Yes, after the AP Exam has been taken...), and tonight I thought up the question "An asteroid is headed straight toward earth and you can't do anything about it...with one week to live, to do anything you want...what do you do?" and asked a bunch of people. Seems like the first answer they give is the one that most identifies with their personality. Lisa Perez said she'd go crazy, Genia said she'd get laid, Dez said he'd raid Dean Kamen's house.
It seems that if someone was given the chance to do whatever they wanted, they would do the most instinctual thing they could think of which they can't do right now. I guess impending doom could be good for some people...Imagine all the people out there who would become brave all of a sudden, all the people who would actually try to make their lives mean something. I guess it would balance out though with all the people that would go out and do things like murder people just because they can...
It looks to me like people aren't really all that good or bad comparatively to anyone else, in reality everyone has the same wants, the same desires, the same needs...whether they manifest them or not is all up to whether the person is willing to pay the consequences. I guess with a week left, the best and the worst in everyone would come out, makes sense though.

[With Teeth]
No idea why I used that as the title for today's post, but I did.
*Breathes in*
So things are looking up for me lately. I'm in the best program the US government offers its citizens for service (Navy Nuke), PA Lacrosse won a game 5-4 in double overtime, my friends are all going to Beantown Blitz in a couple weeks, I have almost certainly gotten a decent job at Sears doing almost nothing and getting paid for it (those are the kinds of jobs that I like), I found some acne stuff thats supposed to clear up anything in three days or less (I used it and it made my face tingle, so I think it's doing something...), the new Nine Inch Nails CD came out, I took 2 AP tests this week (Calculus and English, neither was too difficult), and best of all, I have an awesome prom date.
*Breathes in*
I got a new Xbox game, but it's not working right now, I have to see about fixing that...
What else to say...I'm eating ramen. mmmramen.
We all started playing Starcraft again this week. It's such a kickass game, even though I'm not very good at it. I'm not really good at anything in particular, but I still try so I guess that counts for something, eh?
Steph's coming home from college soon, I think she said her last classes were sometime this past week, and that she has some Final Exams that she has to go back up for, but she'll be home and happy from now until at least early fall.
Steve's birthday is friday, and I'm going down to chill with him for that. It's s suprise party, so don't tell him! lol. I went down there a couple weeks ago to hang out and we went to see Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy. I met his new girlfriend. She's nice enough, but not the most attractive girl I've ever met. Whatever, they're happy, that's all that matters, eh?
The new NIN cd, With Teeth is awesome. I've listened to it all the way though like six times because it's so awesome. I like all the songs, but With Teeth is my least favorite. I really don't think it's as good as the rest of the songs, but it has a really cool part starting at about 3:40 that kicks ass. I like the new style that Trent adopted, he's not as pissed off at the world in general as just being fucked over a couple times in the past, so the music is more...I don't know... Imagine this. You don't get a haircut for a long time because everyone knows you by that look, right? So after a while you just get pissed off and get your hair cut, then everyone's like OMG ITS SO DIFFERENT!!!!11oneoneone but it still looks good, it's just not the same as before. That's what With Teeth is like. Different, but not so much that you can't tell that it's the same person and all.
:-\ Jordan's sick today, she was supposed to come over but she started vomiting or something, so they're just going to stay home instead. She's my prom date. I gotta find out what color her dress is and all that awsome stuff so I can get a corsage and stuff for her... I rented my tux the other night. Black coat and pants with shiny black shoes and a pewter vest. It's hawt.
Aaaanyways...That's about all. Au revoir!
