In response to my last blog, my account's fine now...for the time being. I hope it doesn't happen again.

I'm getting really mad at one of my friends. I bought some ice cream cones for a group of my friends...over two months ago. They said they'd pay me back, and I said sure. The ice cream cost 2.50. One of them paid easily, but then the other said that he'd pay me by January 18th, about 2 weeks after I bought it for them. I then offered to drorp the 50 cents. That was over a month ago. :?

Then I asked again, and he said that he'd get it soon. Then, about a week or two ago, he had the money, but then he supposedly "lost" his wallet. :roll: I'm going "damn it!" and then he found it this week. But now he's saying that I need to give him change for a 20 if I want the money. Um, yeah, if I need 2 dollars that badly, then why would I give him change for a 20!? I don't think he ever lost his wallet, he just said that so he could get out of paying me back. :evil:

I was texting with him on my cell phone a few minutes ago, and I said I'm not even joking, give me my f***ing two dollars! He said "stfu" (hopefully you know what that means). He kept insisting on change for a 20, and then I dropped the conversation. I'm not so mad about the 2 dollars as I am about the principle of the whole thing. It wouldn't matter if it were 2 dollars or 200 dollars, he wouldn't pay me back. I told him to never ask me for money for the rest of his life, or I will kill him. :twisted: How hard is it to take 2 one dollar bills and say "here you go"?

I'm not asking anyone to comment on this, I'm just venting my anger into a blog. Comment away if you wish.

How come every other time I log onto TV.com, it says I'm invalid or unregistered!? I think it's a glitch, but it happens to me a lot! I know a few of my friends had this problem too. I'm on GameSpot right now making this. So if you wanna comment or something, go onto GameSpot or MovieTome and look at my profile there. That's it for now.

So, I got this thing where I tell 5 facts about myself, so here goes!:

1. I have been doing Aikido for about 4 years

2. I have a pet rabbit and a cat (and I hate the cat)

3. I've never been out of the country, unfortunately

4. I want might want to be an archeologist when I grow up

5. My favorite related arts class in school is drama

And that's it! I've gotten into making AMVs now, because Movie Maker finally worked for me. They're Zatch Bell using Linkin Park songs, so...

I wasn't on these past few days because I was staying at a friend's house.

Yu-Gi-Oh TAS Quote of the Day: "The doctors are so confused about what's happening to my voice that they've neglected to treat my eyesight. So I'm going blind. Anyway, see you later, big brother. Or not..."

My class went to the court house today, and it was super boring. All we did was sit in different rooms for about 15 minutes and listen to people discuss stuff that I didn't understand. Then we actually went to the federal court and listened to a real trial going on, except all the peope did was state for testimony...for an hour. I thought it'd be more like the thing on TV where people go "I object!" and the judge says "Overruled!" and then the person throws a fit and the bailiff kicks him out. My mistake. :| Me and my friends were falling asleep with our heads bobbing up and down trying to stay awake, and I was listening to Linkin Park songs in my head the whole time.

Yu-Gi-Oh TAS Quote of the Day: "Who's smexy now, b****?"

Oh my gosh, look at the moon! It's undergoing some hideous transformation! It's turning a hideous red-orange/gray color! Nah, it's just the eclipse. I saw it, and it was pretty awesome. My house is perfect for staring at the sky, since there's a big open area around it. This is supposed to be the last one in a long time, from what I've heard. I was looking around my friend's blogs and I saw that some other people are making blogs about it, too. I saw it around 7:00, then left for half and hour and came back in time to see it go total. Here's a link about it with cool pictures:

My day started off weird; I headed out for the school bus at 8:35 which is when it usually comes, but it didn't. So we waited for another 10 minutes and other buses started driving past us. We finally caught the last one, but I hated the people on it. They threw pencils and Fig Newtons at us (what...?)

The schedule was messed up since half of the 8th grade house went to a field trip to the court house, that I will get to go to tomorrow. There was confusion. People were running all over the place, trying to figure out where to go. Me and a few friends had to go to two classes before we found the right one. All the classes were boring. At lunch, we sat at a different table, and one of the people brought a big cake! Yay cake! :D

And that was it...One of my friends looked mad at the rest of us (which was only me and Ryan) as we were walking to the bus at the end of the day. He's...annoying me. A lot.

Anyway, I'm having AMV problems. I downloaded a video from Stage6 and saved it on my computer. Then I open movie maker and try to import it, but it doesn't appear. So I click on it, then paste it to the storyboard, but it only comes out as audio. I'm testing some more stuff out right now, but if anyone knows why, then please tell me. I know Ryan was gonna help me out with this.

Yu-Gi-Oh TAS Quote of the Day: "Holy $#!% on a $#!% sandwich!...with $#!% on top!"

Well, turns out I'm not getting an HD TV after all like I said earlier... :cry: The reason is that the LCD models apparently burn out within a year depending on how much TV you watch. And we watch a lot of TV! So, we're going to wait and save up for a better model. I will get one eventually, just not now! It would've gotten here yesterday.

People who like Zatch Bell, or are interested in supporting me, look below this red writing:

I was thinking of creating a new Zatch Bell website on freewebs.com. If I were to do this, I was thinking of creating a new game for it. It would be like making my own second Mamodo Battle. Obviously, since it takes place every 1000 years, it'd be in the 31st century. This would give it something cool about it. You will get to make up your own mamodo if you want. What I would do first is:

Take a list of as many mamodo names as possible (If I don't get enough names, whether from me or other people, the 100 candidates limit will drop to 30 or something like that).

Then create their spells

Basically, have a random selection of mamodo fight each other, randomly decide what attacks they will use on each other (maybe by rolling dice). And then when they are weak enough, decide who wins. Also note that the terrain will be a part of this battle, as well as futuristic objects. :P

I don't know, I'm still comtemplating this. I'm not serious about it yet. If anyone wants me to do it, let me know. I might change the rules written above around, as well. I need to work out all the kinks, first. Let people know about this, I'd like to get as much support as possible. If I can't make my own website for whatever reason, I might just do it here on TV.com (maybe on a Zatch Bell forum).

Yu-Gi-Oh TAS Quote of the Day: "Cards? No, where we're going, we don't need any cards. We're going to do battle with ancient Egyptian laser beams!"

Finally! I'm back home now!

Basically we stayed at the hotel until 10:00, where I created my last blog. Then went to breakfast where they had a lot of miniature Swedish pancakes which I enjoyed. We headed back at about 11:30, and had to check out at 12:00. But when I got back to the room, my key wouldn't work, so we asked this one janitor guy to unlock it for us. He called the manager and he said that they thought we switched rooms, so the lock was disabled. And we didn't.

We walked around San Francisco a little more (I saw the screaming hobo from yesterday's blog, though he wasn't screaming this time :P) and went to Borders, where I bought Zatch Bell volumes 15 & 16. And we went to: Chinatown. I realize now that most of the shops on the street sell basically the same things as the ones before it. I bought a cool shirt there. Other than that, we kept walking straight for and hour and a half. I was super tired, and my mom and aunt kept stopping at every shop to look at stuff that they already had or didn't need. Why do they do that? :|

We went back to the car (on the way we saw a high-speed chase with police and all that kind of freaked me out) and went to that really curvy street that people are so obsessed about driving down. I don't remember the name, exactly, it was Lombarde or something. After that, we drove to the Golden Gate Bridge, where we took a lot of pictures and actually WALKED across it, where it was super cold. I had to go to the bathroom so bad afterwards.

Finally, we said our goodbyes and went to the airport. We were waiting at the gate (or near it, anyway). I was really bored so I got up and looked at the departure times. It said our flight was BOARDING. So I was going "What the hell?" And then the person at the gate announces the final boarding call, so we run down the passage thing and barely make it onto the plane. The last ones on :?

And now I'm here. So, yay! This whole trip was basically hiking, driving, and eating. I'm done blogging about California now, if anyone was bored.

Yu-Gi-Oh TAS Quote of the Day for 2/18: "Ha, bow down, you mortals! Worship my haircut!"

Tonight, I come back home!... And have to go to school the next day :| I'm posting this blog for yesterday, and will make another one when I get home tonight.

We woke up at 8:00 and left for San Francisco with another 2 hour drive. I read and did my homework most of the way. We finally got there and checked into our hotel...which was kinda bad. The design was really weird: like the elevator was super small and the stairs almost ran up vertically. Our rooms smelled...interesting. But it was fine.

So, then we went walking around town. We were heading to Pier 39 where Alcatraz is when I saw something very disturbing... It was a TRANSVESTITE. :shock: This person was wearing a pink cocktail dress and had a purse, and wore a wig. Except the thing that gave away that he/she was a boy was the face. He looked like a high-school skater jock with a really big nose and zits on his/her face. Creepy...but it's San Francisco, alright.

After that we went to some shopping center for lunch, and I had a burger that took 20 minutes to get to me while everyone else had Thai food which took 5 minutes. And there weren't even any fries with it! It cost 9 dollars! We went down to the pier and did basically nothing. Except we rode the trolley thing all over town, but that got boring pretty fast. We went to Alcatraz, which was pretty awesome. They were booked until Tuesday, so my mom got tickets in advance (by that I mean before we actually left for this trip). It was cool to see all the jail cells and stuff, but it was eerie and smelled...odd. It was cool since we studied it in Language Arts back in 7th grade. We rode all the way back, except my aunt got kinda sick. That was bad.

We left, and I didn't get any snacks. We then walked to some restaurant that night, and it was on the 21st floor of a really fancy hotel that I would have liked to have stayed at. It looked like a castle on the inside, no joke. We sat down in kind of a lounge area with velvet sofas to sit in. I was the only minor in the place. and my aunt and uncle told me that you could see out the window into the hotel next door. I saw some interesting stuff. There was one guy who we saw take his pants off and get dressed into a suit. Then, this was a killer, there was one guy sitting in bed watching the Simpsons in a white shirt and white pants. He took the shirt OFF and started laughing at something, probably the TV. Then another guy walked in and sat in the same bed, and he took his shirt off, too. I could only imagine what they were saying.

As we walked back, there were a ton of homeless people on the street who I felt a lot of sympathy for. Except for this one guy in a dirty leather coat yelling to random people passing by something about God. He sounded like my old bus driver :P

Overall, I liked the trip, but I don't like the city too much. The pier was cool and nice, but the city itself was...colorful and dirty. There were a lot of people begging for money. Anyway, I get back home tonight, and I will blog about how my day went.

Yu-Gi-Oh TAS Quote of the Day for 2/17: "There has been a great disturbance. Someone has stolen a Millenium Item. It was probably this little Jew boy (talking to Yugi). He must be hiding his horns underneath all that hair."

I decided to make a quiz since I'm really bored. Because that's what people do when they're bored: make quizzes. It questions you, yourself, and your personalities! :shock: I'm not forcing anyone to take it. But if you choose to, I'll take it, too.
