So I was playing around with my sister, and I was going to do a wrestling move on her (I was going to carry her on my shoulder; think Undertaker setting up the Tombstone). She was fidgeting and I caught two fingers right in my right eye. I just saw two circles (her fingers) and I swear I felt my eye move. The whole day it was watery and hurt like if there was a tiny bruise on it (even though I know there isn't).

So last night I was stressing over all the stuff I had to turn in today.  I would say I got 5 hours and 45 minutes of sleep last night.  So I wake up, get to school early and think about how great it's going to be leaving early (because on Tuesday my English teacher told us he wasn't coming, so we didn't have to show up).  All the while I was praying Art would be cancelled because the lack of sleep this week really made me not want to sit in a classroom.  Well, after waiting, my teacher's assistant posted a sign-in sheet on the door and told us the class was cancelled!  Since school started, I don't think I've been happier than I am now.  My weekend started early!

So now, what am I going to do today?  Well, later I'm going to do some hw and finally play Mario & Luigi.  For now, however, I shall just relax in bed and finish up Edge's autobiography.

At school today, I planned my whole schedule for the day:  start my hw as soon as I got home, with a break or two to regain my composure, and be done with everything by 8.  This did not hold true, but I did get some work done.  Did some reading for English and some drawing for Art.

So now, this is my agenda for the rest of the night:

+  Make an outline for a chapter in my Art book (I have to present on it tomorrow).

+  Finish a drawing that is due tomorrow.

+  Make three value charts, showing a distinctive range from dark to light.  Each must be in different techniques too (shading, cross-hatching, and a third technique of my choosing).

Well, I better get to work.  I am so happy that English was cancelled for tomorrow.  I am currently running on about 15 hourse of sleep (as opposed to the 24-27 I should be running on) and two cups of coffee (yesterday's and today's) and I am really feeling it.  I have to get out of the habit of procrastination.

(...What the hell am I doing here anyway?!)

I'm out.  I predict another 5-hour night.

That's the grade I got on my second essay for English! Success! I also got an A for the first one! So far, so good!

When you don't get enough sleep; you don't eat well; and you try to study for school but you can't concentrate because your damn parents won't shut up!

I just finished reading Charlotte Temple for my Hist36 class. I read the whole book in one weekend. It was actually a pretty enjoyable novel.

My Mom and sister got back from their trip to Chicago today, and my sis got me "Adam Copeland On Edge."  It's an autobiography by Edge.  I've wanted it since it came out, and I finally have it!  Can't wait to start reading it!

I took my daily Wii Fitness Test yesterday and my age was 20.  This is the first time I've gotten the best age possible.  I know a lot of people probably already accomplished this, but I still like to document my in-game accomplishments on my blog.  Anyways, hurray for me!

"Girl"

Let me take you away.

Come on, just for a while.

We'll lay on the grass and smell the fresh Spring air.

We'll talk about old times.

We'll laugh,

We'll cry,

We'll cherish.

I'll make you laugh,

And you'll make me smile.

Our hands will intertwine

Like in days passed.

We'll listen to music that reminds me of you:

Kings of Convenience,

Beck,

Interpol.

I'll put my hand on your chin,

Bring your lips to mine,

And whisper as our lips touch.

I'll tell you you're beautiful,

And that you make me feel like no one else has.

Then we'll kiss;

Those soft, slow kisses that you love.

We'll hold each other close,

And we won't let go

'Til the sun begins to rise.

I feel odd.  I'm remembering 2 years ago.  I feel happy and sad.  I was listening to an old mix CD I used to listen to a lot back then.  The song that stands out the most is "Lost Cause" by Beck.  I shed a few tears, remembering the good times.  Everything was so much easier back then.  Everything was so much more fun.  I guess I'm happy to be where I am, but I can't help but remember and get a little sad.  Spending time with friends; making new friends; listening to lots of interesting music; drawing; text-messaging her and feeling something indescribable deep inside of me.

Then I found a picture.  I don't think I've ever been as happy as I was in that picture.  She was by my side, holding the infamous flour baby.

Those were some good times.  The days were warm and the nights were fresh and smelled nice.  Water never tasted better.  I was actually getting healthy amounts of sleep back then.  I used to shower early too, compared to my midnight showers nowadays.

Playing video games with Daniel.  Talking to Leonard on the phone almost everyday.  Cracking up with the guys (Andrew, Samuel, Breadslice, Nick) in 6th period.  Thinking of her, and getting this intense feeling in my stomach and chest.

I remember I would wake up at 4 in the morning, listen to "Lost Cause" as I thought of her for a bit, then go back to bed, with the proverbial smile on my face.

As Modest Mouse put it:  The good times are killing me.

I have a poem.

"Lost Cause"

I think of you,

Of us,

Of the good times we shared,

Of the good times I used to live.

Life is harder now.

I miss the way it was.

I used to see you everyday.

I used to talk to you everyday.

The smell of the fresh Spring air at night

Reminds me of you.

All that is left are the memories though.

I can't go back,

But I'll manage.

I miss the way things were,

But I can't do anything about it.

All I can do is remember that feeling inside of me.
