Well, today was registration for high school...I was somewhat dreading it because I'd have to see some people and it would be kind of akward lol. But it actually turned out pretty good...my ASB card actually looks decent :D Maybe I won't look like a dubmass in the annual this time haha. I met up with a friend I haven't talked to in a while, so that was cool...me and a few other people went to his house after registration. Played Halo2 and ordered pizza...like the good times. So that occupied about 9am-2pm.

@ 3pm Elaine, Lily, and their mom came over to carpool to gymnastics (Elaine graduated to college this year, and she and Lily are both former jumpers on the same team as me). Well it sounds like Lily has decided to do Hotdogs too, and I reallllly hope Elaine comes along :( So anyways, Gymnastics was so amazing! I really hope Elaine decides to join in next time...I think with maybe two more practices I can do a back handspring on the gym floor This is still a maybe though...I can do it by myself down a slanted mat, but that's easier than on the normal floor. Also, front tuck and the kamikaze are not as terrible as I thought they were...woot I think I might actually get somewhere!

Ahh I'm so happy...tomorrow our old team is getting together again :) We're having lunch @ Red Robin and then heading across the street for Laser Quest...I'm really looking forward to spending time w/ them again. Well, ciao until next time!

Well, for those of you who have been kind enough to pay attention to my latest ramblings, I have good news! I can do Hotdogs! I was talking to my mom last night, because it seems like my dad is avoiding the subject, and with practices starting up soon I thought it was best if we could come to a decision on how this was all gonna work. She basically just said "don't worry about it." Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions here...but does that not sound like good news??? I still have to get a job though, because the financial strain is definitley gonna be noticable...but hell that's worth it.

Me, my sister, and this other kid Jake are gonna do a gymnastics practice tomorrow w/ the new team...for some reason I'm slightly apprehensive. Maybe it's because we have to start out w/ the younger kids lol The gymnastics teacher person, Glen, is sooo funny...but he's the type that doesn't give a damn if you're freaked out about trying some new thing, he just says "do it anyway." I think I'm okay with that, because after mastering the front flip/handspring I'm more comfortable with crazy stuff. But backwards always scares me I don't know why . My sister is definityl gonna have issues though lol...I've been working outside with her for about an hour a day to help her with some basic gymnastics to master. Acrobatics are definitly not her thing lol, but at least she's making some progress.

My aunt died a few days ago :( Actually, she was my great aunt. Her husband died a few months ago...and at that age, if one of them goes, the other is sure to follow. That's just how it is. They can't really live without each other I've met her a few times, and she's such an amazing woman...I don't know how she does it. I'm not as "close" to her as some of my other relatives...but for some reason it still kinda hurts. I feel so bad though...her brother called the house while my parents were away, and I took a message for him. He said that she wasn't doing well, and things were heading for the worse. I told him I'd pass on the message (this was about 10pm, my parents didn't get home till about 12). Well when they did get home @ midnight, it had slipped my mind and I only realized the next morning. So I told them, and my mom called. It turns out, she had died in the night...I felt so bad. I went to my room and just sat there for a while...damnit why couldn't I just have remembered to tell them earlier when they had come home.

Mmk well sorry to end on such a depressing note lol...again. But good the good news and the bad news just sorta balance themselves out :) On a lighter note, I was talking with President Bush today...I think he needs to get his phones fixed or something, I could hardly hear him. Oh well.

Well I completely neglected to mentioned my escapades yesterday. We went over to my grandparent's house (dad's side) for an early birthday dinner type thing. Unfortunately it wasn't the fondue-style meal I was expecting (apparently that's the correct spelling....for those of you who I may have discussed this with ;-). But it was great nonetheless! Me and my sister went outside to do some tumbling practices for gymnastics, since the Hotdogs (jump rope team) are starting up gymnastics practice on this upcoming Tuesday. My parents haven't said we aren't doing the team yet, so we're going to this practice unless we hear otherwise.

Anyway, my grandparents have a lot of stuff growing in their garden, but their grass is absolutely terrible. Sufficeth to say, I had several cuts on my hands by the time I was finished. It's that dry. I'm pretty sure they were growing needle-grass to use in the movie Aeon Flux

The resemblence is uncanny.

So I watched Team America today. It was pretty retarded. There were some "lol" moments, but yeesh...what a graphic movie lol. Otherwise it was just dumb...some attempted crude humor but nothing fantastic. The degree of ridiculousness sounds reminiscent of some other movie...hm...can't quite place my finger on it.


Hmm. Oh well, I'll think of it later. Ciao

No, not the Muffin Man who lives on Dreary Lane...ME.

So today's my dad's b-day, and I made him a little comic for part of my gift. Here are somethings you should know about it:
1.) Cindy is my mom
2.) My sister has posture problems, so when she hunches you can see her shoulder blades a little. My parents call it "wings," and whenever they say that she owes them like 25 cents or something lol.
3.)On the Comedy Central sign, those are the things that he despises/dreads. Clarence is my dog (XD) and the rest lend to themselves.

SO, now that we have that out of the way here it is:

If you don't get the Red Bull thing...lol shame on you.

Since this is the "scribbles of the Muffin Man," I thought I'd throw in a few works I've been working on over the summer. I think I did a previous entry on a few of them, but that was before I started actually making friends XD. So yeah.


A lot of those (particularly the 3 of that one machine dude) are for a video game site that I visit...the other robot being from my creation, and the big skeleton being from a Warcraft III box art.

Phew! So many scribbles....but so much procrastination too! I haven't started on any of my summer homework yet, and although it may not be that much, I have a tendency to take forever on things I utterly despise . I have 53 vocab words and 2 essays from AP English, and a wonderful glob of text from U.S. History, which I am NOT looking forward too...on the bright side though, I passed my AP World History exam from last year! I'm sooo happy/confused, because I only did like 2/3 essays lol. I guess the multiple choice were all right or something haha. Anyways, that means I get college credit and my transcript grade for AP History gets bumped up to an A- While A- is something to cringe at for some, it's really quite an achievement for me considering that class was insane.

Well, time to go cook my dad breakfast....I thought you deserved a more lighthearted entry after reading that depressing one before lol. Enjoy!

-Brian
