|Time| 5:48 PM
|Music| "Attitude" Alien Ant Farm
|Singing| "Maybe this isn't what you wanted, baby..."
|Habit| putting off homework (extra credit actually)
|Feel| bored
|Think| I really don't want to work on JavaScript at all...

My 4 hour hands-on JavaScript test didn't go well at all. I wasn't even able to get half of the stuff to work or even figure it out for that matter. Then on Wednesday my teacher finally started going over script and I did learn some stuff. This of course the day after the test, so it wasn't quite that great. Since everyone wasn't doing well at all, we got some extra credit homework to do. We have to create 20 different pages all with crazy javascript on each. We only get one point extra credit for each page. If we get it all finished by Monday (tomorrow) then we get 10 extra points. I haven't even started. I'm still putting it off by blogging too. Procrastination is an evil thing.

I had a good Thanksgiving. I of course traveled down the street to my aunt and uncle's house. My cousin Jenny (Fer) wasn't there though cuz she spent Thanksgiving with her fiance Nate and his family. My sister Chrissy (Krisp) and her boyfriend Josh (Darth) were there along with my cousins Robert and Rachel. We played some crazy fun soccer in the garage and Rachel & I beat Robert and Darth. We also played some Mario Kart64. I did great at battle mode and somewhat on the races too. After playing all of that, we decided to play some Simpson's Monopoly. We played it for over 3 hours. Darth owned half of the board with hotels (stations) built on everything, meaning he won. We didn't even finish the game though. We were just too bored, tired, and uncomfortable from sitting on the floor. Plus there was no way anyone else could possibly win.

Friday night I went and saw the movie The Ring with my friends Jenny and Kevin (Whitey). That was one of the best movies I've ever seen. It was the scariest movie I've ever seen too. No other 'scary' movies bother me, but this one got to me. It was very creepy. I sat with my hands fisted and grasping onto the sleeves of my shirt throughout the entire movie. Jenny is never bothered by movies but she had to look away or close her eyes a few times. Whitey kept saying that any movie that has a little kid drawing in it is bad. *lol* I was freaked out when I got home too. The movie didn't even start until 9:50pm and I didn't get home until about 12:30am. I of course came on the computer and talked to Sean for 5 hours. That made me stop thinking about the movie.   =)   I didn't get off of the computer until about 6am and I fell asleep with my bedroom light on and also my tv. I'm not sure why I even put my tv on since it's scary. *lol*

I actually got up around 2pm on Saturday which was slightly surprising since I didn't go to bed until 6am. But the phone rang at least 5 times and I only ended up getting maybe 6 hours of sleep. I then rented the movie Serendipity which turned out to be a pretty good movie. I stayed on the computer talking to Sean of course until 2:30am. *lol* I didn't go to bed until about 3:30am though. I actually got up before noon today though! I'm so proud of myself. I found the best story of Little Red Riding Hood that was recited in the anime movie Jin-Roh. It's by far better than any other version of the story. They didn't even have any credits or any links for it on the Jin-Roh Official Site either. I'm getting good with searching for certain things online now. *lol* Thanx to Sean for having me help him find stuff today.

|Music| "Get Over It" OkGo
|Singing| "Oh it's such a drag... Everything's a stress..."
|Habit| never knowing how to do JavaScript
|Feel| irritated
|Think| I wish I knew how to do JS...

My IWT teacher curved the last test a lot! It was 50 questions and I got 27 wrong... Everyone did aweful too. I had a 54%... but with the curve I ended up with a 92%. Then my hands-on test I couldn't even get half of it to work... but I ended up getting a 85% on that. I did 13 of 20 extra credit JavaScript pages too so that will help out.

I have a test tomorrow.... I'm actually going to study for it too. But I don't know how to do the coding for the hands on... So I'm thinking I'm kinda screwed for that. I also found out that my final over JavaScript is going to start on Dec 16, I get to take it home, contine on the 17, take it home again, and finish on the 18 and turn it in. It's going to be insanely long and hard. We've still got 2 more chapters in the book to do yet. The test will be over 10 chapters... I'm going to die...

I've been staying up really late on the weekends now. I only have Sean to thank for that. XD So Friday and Saturday nights I'm up until at least 3am now. And then I sleep until at least noon usually. Saturday I woke up with an aweful headache and the phone rang several times and I just couldn't really sleep at all. This morning I actually got up at 12:30. I'm still shocked that I did since I was so dead tired and almost couldn't even stay awake. I did however stay in bed and watch the cartoon series of Hercules on Toon Disney. XD

I've been procrastination a lot lately. I don't know what the deal is. I just can't seem to find any motivation whatsoever to do school work. I wish I was able to focus more and stick with what my plans are. I just can't wait for Christmas break. I've only got 9 more days of school... 9 long and insane more days of school. I'm also going to have to study for the CIW (Certified Internet Webmaster) test that I'll need to take at some point so I can get CIW certified. It's going to be over everything I've learned so far... 4 entire books. Internet Fundamentals, Networking Fundamentals, HTML, and JavaScript. Blah. I need to go study for my test...

|Music| "Epiphany" Staind
|Singing| "So I speak to you in riddles because my words get in my way..."
|Habit| not wanting to work on my JavaScript final...
|Feel| blah... just tired and blah
|Think| I can't wait for school to be over with...

So this is day 3 of my 4 day final in IWT. It's not fun at all. I code for 4 hours straight at school and then come home and code. I can't figure out how to get two things to work, but other than that it's relatively easy. I've only got filler stuff left that's just time consuming and is insanely easy. It's just HTML now.

Monday was fun... I had a test over 2 chapters of JavaScript. Then I started on my final. Then I went and took some math tests. Then I went and took my composition exam. I was at school from 7:40am till 3:50pm. My cousin that goes to Ranken also, had his car stolen from the Ranken parking lot sometime last week I think. I was told today that at least one other person's car had been stolen recently and that it was some gang initiation..? Yeah... so that was interesting.

I'm stuck on this song along with a few others. While on the computer I listen to "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak and "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen. If I'm driving by myself I listen to 2 songs by Dashboard Confessional, this song by Staind, and "Naked" by Avril Lavigne. I don't know... I've been kinda out of it lately...

I'm so tired of javascript... which is maybe why I feel the way I do right now. I'm so confused about certain things, which other people would never be able to understand. I'm not open enough to talk to anyone nor do I even really want to talk to anyone about it. I do, but I don't... I probably should finish up with my final... but I'm just so distracted it's hard to just sit and get into coding mode. I could go on and on forever with blogging... but I never know who reads this. I doubt anyone does, but this is here for me. Just like my site is here for me. I'm not aiming to please others, only myself.

I dyed my hair yesterday. So now my golden color is gone along with at least 4 inch roots... I've just been putting it off. I dyed it a light brown I guess is what you would call it. It doesn't look like a normal brown... which is maybe why I picked it out. I don't want to be like everyone else... I like being different and weird. I want to be a single sheep that stays away from the flock. Of course, I know I'm slightly part of the flock and always will be. I doubt myself too much and sometimes will go along with the flock on a few things... That will never change. I will always be unsure of myself...

So my internet times keep getting crazier and crazier. I was on the computer until 6am yesterday morning. Of course, I had a good reason to be up that late. I was talking to Sean of course. I rarely talk to anyone online, but I talk to Sean for at least 4 hours every day. It's nice to actually be able to talk to someone for more than 5 minutes before the conversation dies. ICQ has a nice feature too. ICQPhone... basically like talking on the phone, except you just use your computer's microphone and listen through the speakers. Though it does suck when my heater kicks on cuz then I can't hear anything really. So I left at 6am to go to bed cuz I didn't want to still be up when my mom got up for work. And I had some good timing cuz my mom's alarm clock went off at 6:15.

I went shopping with Jenny last Friday. I got up at 8 and we left around 9. We went to Carbondale and surprisingly it only took about an hour and fifteen minutes. When going there once with my parents, it took two full hours. Quite insane considering 60mph was the fastest Jenny went. Oh well. We went to two malls, toys r us, and stopped at a friend's house and watched a movie. I can't think of the name of it now, but it wasn't good at all. All I can remember is that it has Freddie Prince Jr. in it and it was something to do with some models. Not something I'd ever watch again. Then we came back over in this area and went to another mall. So it was a "fun" day of shopping.

Yesterday I got up at 1pm only because Jenny called me again to see if I was interested in going shopping with her again. I had to turn down that offer. Though I did have to go shopping to get a gift certificate for my dad cuz my mom was too busy to go and get it. I had to go to a few other places too because I still had to get christmas cards for my parents and my sister. Most places were all out of any good cards. Oh well, just as long as they all get cards. But I saw a wreck at an intersection. I didn't see it happen, but I passed by the damaged vehicles. I'm assuming that someone ran a light or something cuz a truck had hit the passenger's side of a car.

I surprisingly went to bed at about 12:30 last night. I woke up at 9 something and it was lightly snowing. I could have stayed up, but I had no reason to get up that early and it was cold. Plus since it was snowing, my room was actually still slightly dark, so I couldn't pass that up. I think I actually got out of bed at 12 something and only because I had a phone call.

I watched some old home movies earlier. They are played on a silent 8mm projector. XD Those are the fun kind. We're watching some tomorrow at christmas too. I'm sure tomorrow will be a blast as usual. I love holiday times with my family because I love the conversations and the competetive scategories games. XD
