I’m going away or something
Thu Aug 31, 2006 16:39 (UTC -5)Today at school, Mark asked if I had put our Beowulf movie online yet, and I told him that I had, so I assume he went to check it out and show it to some more people during lunch. Later, our English teacher said that she had showed the video to all of her other classes. For the rest of the day, several people — including one I didn’t know — came up to me and told me how much they liked it. If you still haven’t seen it, watch it now on Google Video!
Last weekend, Nick mentioned that the youth group was starting to put on their Christmas play: a production of the Rankin/Bass classic The Year Without a Santa Claus. The first rehearsal is tonight, so I have to go to that. Yes, it’s August 31, and Christmas bells are ringing. I don’t really have a problem with doing it, though. There’s nothing really religious about it at all, anyway, but there are some rollicking good numbers. I think they’ve wanted me to participate in youth group things, so here I am.
Tomorrow morning we’re leaving for my aunt’s house. I was just there over the summer, but this time we’re going to take a tour of the University of Florida. Yes, that’s right: we’re not going to drive around and look at the pretty buildings; we’re actually going to take a real tour of the place. I think this may actually be where I want to go to college, and to anyone who says it’s not good (enough), I respectfully reply, “I’m rubber and you’re glue; whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.” Besides, I have to apply to some colleges soon, and, well, I’ve already gone over the reasons why I should go to a fine school within my own state.
Other than that, I guess we’ll just be doing fun stuff in the small-town/rural setting of my aunt’s house. And maybe, since we’ll be in Gainesville for the college, we’ll check out some of the wonders that that urban setting has to offer. I’ll be back on Sunday. See you then, everybody.
This guy held a Paparazzi Contest in which he asked people to find him in a mall and take pictures of him as if he were a celebrity.
The popular “buffalo” nickels, issued by the US Mint from 1913 to 1937, were fairly thick and soft, which caused them to wear down easily. However, these properties also allowed their surfaces to be carved in creative ways, allowing them to be transformed into unique works of art as “hobo nickels.” Apparently, the practice of making hobo nickels continues today.
Two years ago: “I’m sort of surprised to find myself in another picture in the yearbook; you know, one of those snapshots around school that they provide silly captions for.”
Three years ago: “So, what am I going to do with this bill with an address stamped on it? Easy… send it back!”

I started watching the movie. A few seconds in, I realized that it was THAT Justin. Also, you looked different on screen. Was that intentional?

What’s wrong with THAT Justin?
I don’t know what you mean about me. I didn’t try to make myself look different or anything.

1) I don’t anything by saying THAT Justin except that I didn’t know who you were writing about until I saw the movie.
2) All I was asking is if you intentionally made yourself look different.

It blocked out everything after the less than sign. I meant to write:
Hobos less than three Dostoevsky… and nickels!

You might be able to get away with typing “& lt ;” (minus the spaces and junk) to get that particular character. Let’s try it: <
