first period was pretty wild today - wild, as far as web design is concerned. we had a miniature field trip to the art room, and saw the art display that they had there. after we got back from that, we worked on some word puzzles, or "wordles," as mr. dowd said they were called. kim and i were pretty stumped on a few of them, but i think we might have solved the most out of anyone in the class. maybe one of you can solve this one, which we had a hard time with:

LAL

if you don't know what i'm talking about, a couple of examples of wordles are: IECEXCEPT (i before e except after c), ME NT (apartment), and ECNALG (backwards glance). LAL was actually italicized on the paper, so the slant appearance is part of its meaning.

advisory was a little funny. we had an earthquake drill, narrated by mr. sakaue on the intercom, as well as a lockdown drill. once again, i drew "zippermouth" on the board with dry erase markers. the concept of s&m is ten times funnier in a classroom setting.

third period draaaaaaaged.

i ate popcorn and chips for lunch. i'm not proud.

fifth period was sort of slow, but not as bad as third. winmill was correcting some of his biology tests from earlier periods, and he got me to help him find out who was cheating on one of them, because there was a block of information written in pencil on one of the desks. my brother, by the way, got a 100% on that test. if i recall, i don't ever remember doing that well on anything in biology 1-2.

after school, we had a swim meeting in the student commons. our swim coach was really excited about our new swim program. tomorrow will be our first practice, so we'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out.

i also saw mike good for the first time in a long time. his hair is pretty long. he probably thinks i'm some square who doesn't smoke, but you know what? i'm really SOME COOL GUY WHO DOESN'T SMOKE.

i wonder what byron gangwish looks like now. i haven't seen him in a long time, and i've heard he looks different from when i last saw him. do all stoners forget their barber shop appointments?

but really, i dig the long hair.

at the bus stop, i saw jonathan bell sitting on the bus seat, as he was fighting off invisble monsters, as well as providing his own video game sound effects. mustafa told me before how that guy became a crackhead, but i didn't really take it seriously until now. it's not even funny to look at, because this guy is the supposed father of parris' baby. crack is bad.

though today started off with thick gasoline-smelling fog, the afternoon turned out pretty nice. i like to look up at a clear blue sky, while listening to music, and seeing a single airplane inch it's way over me. i also like the way how our seattle sun HAS TO fight its way through dense clouds, resulting in a glow that you can actually stare at - without getting your eyes fried.

i have to remember to call dugan's for the spirit club and green team t-shirts. just so i don't forget: 425.251.9000
