<b>Writing began</b>: 1:30am

<b>Completed writing</b>: 2:30am (Wow, shortest time I've written an entry in so long.)

<b>Words</b>: 2k (Wow, shortest entry I've written in so long)

<b>Average reading time (At 250 words/minute)</b>: 8 minutes (Wow, shortest anyone's read an entry of mine in so long)

So today is my one year aniversary here at sitD.

Pretty awesome.

The history of my time here at stiD:

- I joined a forum simply called Nakusama. It is now offline.

- While there, I met <a href="http://www.sitdiary.net/ryoko" target="_blank">Ryoko</a> and <a href="http://www.sitdiary.net/darktiger" target="_blank">Dark Tiger</a>.

- They got me to sign up here at sitD. I was reluctant to join, 'cause I wanted to code a blogging system on <a href="http://www.64digits.com" target="_blank">my own site</a>, and use it instead, so I kept stalling joining here.

- My thoughts eventualy couldn't stay in my head any longer, so on November 7, 2004, 11:12 pm, I signed up here. (I take forever to build sites, if you havn't noticed.)

- <a href="http://www.sitdiary.net/englishsongbird/" target="_blank">Englishsongbird</a> was the first one to welcome me to sitD, followed quickly by Ryoko.

- My entries kept getting longer and longer, until last entry, when it was so long, that I had to edit out a bunch of stuff so that it would save it all. (11,000 words motha fucka)

- One year later, I've only made 60 entries.

Yay, wasn't that an awesome list.

ANOTHER! ANOTHER! Let's get people to stalk me. (I wrote this out for twisterghost, so ya'll better hurry if you want to rape me while I'm nice and tight.)

My routines are almost always the same.

On Tuesday-Thursday, I wake up around 10, take a 10 minute shower, grab a bowl of cereal, and go back to the basement to sit down at my computer (I live in the basement) where I:

1) Do school work. (I do my school over the internet)

2) Go to forums.

3) Read people's blogs.

4) Check out the admin panel on 64D, for any new activity on the site.

5) Code random sites.

6) Have random msn convos.

So I sit there doing that stuff until 4 in the morning. Whenever I start to get pissed off at stuff, I

a) Jump on my trampoline for a couple minutes. Everything makes more sense when you're upside down.

b) Go for a walk to the convenience store and buy a slushie, candy, and/or minutes for my g/f's cellphone, which she uses to txt my msn, and I txt back, and we quickly use up all the minutes. =P

c) Start to walk upstairs to go out, but I punch the wall on the way upstairs, which makes me feel much better, so I just turn around and go back.

On a weekend, I haul my computer to Canadonian's house, where we sit in his basement and work on random sites. (He designs, I code)

And now that he's got a car, we usualy go out at night and go pick up his friends to go see a movie, or go play DDR, etc. Sometimes we just go to Tim Hortons, then go do random things with the car.

But mostly, we try and work.

We work all day until like 6, then we go out in the car, come back at like midnight, and sometimes we'll go to sleep, other times we'll get back to work. Then the next morning we sleep 'till like noon, and work all night again.

On Sundays, I go to church (Canadonian goes to the same church as me, so I just go with his parents) then my family usualy goes back to Canadonian's house after church, and we work some more, then go out again in the evening.

On Monday, my homeschool group rents a church from 1:30-3:30, which has a gym (basketball court thingy) in it. So every monday I go to "gym day", which is actualy half gym, half some teaching thing. The only reason I go is to see my g/f.

On Friday, my homeschool group rents a hockey rink from 11:45-12:45 (But the rink isn't usualy used from 11-1:30, so we usualy get on early, and get off late. =P)

Now that's fun. Since it's only our homeschool group, we can do whatever we want, so the kids play British Bulldog on the ice every Friday, and everyone else just skates around the rink. It's soooo fun. Skating and DDR are the only active things I like doing. (They make me feel very Canadian and Japanese. XD)

Sometimes Canadonian shows up at my door with his car, and we go look for fun things to do.

Sometimes I'll go do random things with Deanna. (Like a bike ride, or going to some friend's house or something)

But most of my life is pretty much spent working on the computer.

This summer the only thing i did to make money, was making websites and stuff for people. In the winter I shovel people's driveways, and…Make websites…

When I'm pissed off in the winter, I'll go shovel people's driveways, or work on my massive igloo that I build every year. (I only go outside at night in the winter. It's so surreal and calming…)</td></tr></table>

Yay. There'd better be someone outside my window by tomorrow night…<a href="http://www.sitdiary.net/mikyyyy" target="_blank">MIKE</a>.

I've bought Deanna $65 worth of minutes on her cellphone in the past 8 days. I msg her phone from msn, and she txts back, then I message back, etc, and this goes on and on and on into the wee hours of the morning, thus using up all her minutes. She sent 200 messages in three days. How insane is that.

Therefore, I need to get her a better phone, with better ways of communcating. (<a href="http://www.sitdiary.net/angelasplay" target="_blank">Angela</a> is really helping with that. ^_^)

Best $65 I've spent in a long while though. =)

I hate english. It's fucking useless.

I have to read Frankestein and some other 500 page book, and take "readers notes" on them, by the end of today.

But eh, fuck english. I'm goin' to see Deanna. It's a formative assignment anyway, so the teacher can kiss my ass.

And who really needs to learn how to take "readers notes" anyway? It doesn't even teach you how to in the course. If it's not something you're teaching, or building off of, I don't see a point in making me work on it.

And my math this year isn't helping. Usualy I can just go off and swear at my math, 'cause I know that there's only one answer I can possibly correctly get.

And if I can't get it, I can puch and swear and study until I find that answer.

With english, I just sit there and stare at the blank screen, trying to think of an answer that will please the teacher.

I don't see why people have to have four years of english. At least with math, if people arn't going to use it later in life, they don't have to take it in grd 12 (Although, it'd be nicer if they stopped required math at grd 10) But with english, you have to do the full four years. And the last two you barely learn anything. Most of the time it's just writing essays and stuff. I wish I could just show my english teacher my diary entries, and then all I would haev to do is learn stuff, instead of waste my fucking important time (XD) on writing useless essays that no one will ever read, or reading useless books that teach jack. I mean, my entries fail misserably at english standards, but fuck, who cares? Can you understand it? Yes you can. The only reason my entries fail, is because I have no set topic to write about. When I have to write reports and stuff, they'll probably be better. (<u>Probably</u>)

Am I ever going to be an author? Fuck no. Am I ever going to need to write an essay in any career I find even remotely interesting? No. At the moment, the only occupation I can think of that would need to write anything along the lines of an essay, is a historian. And to most people, that's just a hobby.

If you don't plan on having a career in anything that needs the extensive use of english or math, I think you should be able to stop at like grd 10.

And at least in math, you're constantly learning something new, then you practise it for a little while, then you build off what you've learned to build a bigger formula, etc.

But noooo, not in english. I didn't learn a single thing in english last year. NOT A SINGLE THING.

If people enjoy writing as a hobby, I can see why they would want to keep taking english. I mean, this year I'm doing my second grd 12 math course, 'cause I love math…I wish I could trade in my math credits for english credits. Like fuck man, a grd 12 knowledge of english is NEVER going to help you. You can get along in life just fine with a grd 9 knowledge of english. And as you grow up, your english will continue to improve, and blah blah blah.

So basicaly what I'm saying is, I'll pay someone to do my english homework for me.

I mean, I'm gonna get rich because I'll be able to get a job that pays $60/hour.

How much money does someone who focuses on things you would use english for? Pretty much nothing. For most people, writing is just a hobby.

Must we really waste 2/15ths of our school time on something that will be used as a hobby to a FEW SELECT people?!

…I gotta talk to my english teacher, and ask her what uses english has in careers. Once I'm equiped with that knowledge, I might write a rant about english or something.

Anyway, I'm tired, so I can't think of anything to write about…

A lot of cool stuff has been happening lately, but those are for my "private" entries. =)

Heh heh, Matt and I got in trouble for staying out too late. (Mostly Matt got in trouble, 'cause he's the one driving)

We failed at sneaking in at 3 in the morning. v_v

It's so awesome that Matt can drive. I can do all these things that other people won't let me do.

Like jump out of the car.

The fastest I did it was at like 20/h, but meh, it still hurts when you roll into a tree.

MAN the Lexus is fun to drive…*drool*

It's so little, and fast, and comfy, and…it's got low profile tires. They're awesome and all, but I can't peel out, or have any fun with the handbreak, 'cause the tires are like 400 dollars each. And since they're low profile, the tires will dissapear pretty quickly.

I can peel out in the van though. =D

The Honda Odysee isn't the most fun vehicle to drive, but it's a lot nicer than most vans.

I WANT MY DRIVERS LISCENCE!

I never really cared until last Sunday. My mom and I drove to church early, and when we got there, some poeple wanted coffess, so my mom and I went to Tim Hortons to get them some, and I asked if I could drive, and she said "No"…Of course.

However, after that, she said "I won't mind when you have a permit, but until then, I don't want you driving on majour roads."

So now that I know she's fine with me driving, I want my liscence sooooo baaaaaad.

I want an ipod. Someone give me an ipod.

And cookies. Gimme some cookies too.

And a <a href="http://redlinecommunications.net/boosti205.gif" target="_blank">Boost i205</a> for Deanna. No sim card needed.

HOLY SHIT. I was supposed to go to a Thrice concert, which had Underoath and The Bled supporting them (I only wanted to see Underoath and The Bled) a couple weeks back, but that same night Deanna was coming over, so I couldn't go. (Michelle got me an awesome underoath t-shirt though. ^_^)

So anyway, I'm sitting here watching the news on Much Music, and they were showing clips of The Bled from that concert.

*sigh*…

It was worth missing it though. =)

This is rediculus. I have nothing left to say, and I've only got 2000 words.

Meh, good night.
