By the rate I've been writing blogs lately, it'll take me forever to write ten more blogs and get to 200 blogs. I remember the days I used to write 8-10 blogs a day and I got so pissed when that flooding rule came up where I couldn't type more than 10 blogs in a day. And I was so focused on getting to 50 blogs that I went back to all my blogs, counted back ten blogs, and scheduled later around the same time, to make a new blog. Aww, how things have changed. In fact I've done a little bit of calculating. Including this blog, I think this will mean I am averaging 0.84 blogs per day now, in my TV.com career.

Some of you might know, but just in case you don't on Wednesday, Iyla struck again. You know how she thought the clipboard was her's after one day of borrowing it. That same day, Tuesday, I barely got it back after she threw a fit. She declared that I took it from her. Well, after bringing home the clipboard safe and sound on Tuesday, Wednesday, the day we got out early because the teachers were going to a workshop, she snuck up on me and...

Later that day, after school, she called me up on my cell phone:

"Hello.."

"Matthew?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, uh, I stole your clipboard today, out of your backpack; if you were wondering where it was."

"What.. what!?! How.. when did you get it out??"

Then there was some static and I couldn't understand her. All I knew was that she was dead meat tomorrow... (Thursday)

Thursday
Iyla wasn't at school on Thursday. :| She had a doctor's appointment because her back had been bothering her for almost the whole week... but when Friday comes...

Friday
Iyla was back in school on Friday, and I asked for the clipboard back on our way to third period. She claimed she forgot about the clipboard, but then walked off. So I asked her again in third period, and I thought she was going to get down on her knees and start begging to have the clipboard, and I said no, but since the clipboard was still in her backpack, I remained clipboardless.

So that is when my plan developed. Since our science teacher, Mrs. Decker, is the only teacher in the whole school that doesn't let us take our backpacks in the room, I was going to wait until Science and ask to go to the restroom, when I would actually go to Iyla's locker, unzip her backpack, get the clipboard, zip up the backpack, put the clipboard in my locker, and then head back. But I got an earlier chance.

It was so unexpected. In fourth period, she was just sitting right there, with the clipboard pointing up, talking to somebody, facing the opposite direction, so what the heck?

The unexpected plan was successful. With two jerks, I was able to set the clipboard free, and now the clipboard is safe in my house.

Um, other than that... uh, we had basketball practice for Ralph Wilson on Thursday. in scrimmage, I scored 6 points, going 3 for about... eh, maybe 10 from the floor. 10 is a big number, as I rarely take that many shots, even in practice! I felt beat up when I got home. My arms and legs were so sore... I wanted to scream! But I thought of a job well done, when I could tell Brady was so frustrated every trip down the court. He got soooooo mad when I'd steal it after someone turned it over. He'd get so mad.... so he just made the would-be intentional foul, if it were a real game.

And for the final main subject of the day, my birthday is in 11 days!! Well actually since it just turned 12:00AM nearly fifteen minutes ago, it is 10 days until my birthday! Yep... born on Presidents Day - moi! February 19th! Yea, I'm so hyper! :lol:
