K-mart and Reporter Pads.
I was thinking while I was on my way to K-mart. Other than thinking about the way people drive, I got my mind on journals. If I take a look at the past by my memory, I'll see that I have forgotten almost everything except the things that I need to know for school and daily life, with a few major events sticking out here and there. I don't think that's the best thing to do.
Records last forever, but memories can only last for so long.
Why, just the other day, my friend was telling me about what we all did one day in the past. I couldn't remember a thing about what she was talking about and it was only a year ago. Perhaps I classifed the event as "minor" and forgotten about it, or I just forgot. I may be only 15 years old, but my memory isn't that great. Journals, as I discovered are the best things to keep my memories straight.
The other issue I have with my memory is the confusion I have with them and dreams. One dream I had was where I was laying on my bed, and my mom had told me that my dad was on the phone. So, in real life, I got up and ended up waking up my mom, and losing 2 hours of sleep on a school day. Not the best example of dream/memory confusion, but it shows just how realiastic dream can be.
The only problem I have now is with actually taking the effort to write in my journal... real-life or on my computer.
Ok, so today I was dragged from my home to a ATM that was not working (Loomis-Fargo was taking the money or whatever), to another ATM across town, then the mall, Kinko's, K-mart to Eckerds (sp?). I got a good dose of walking, so I suppose it wasn't for nothing in my book. I mean I got cokes... that I have chosen not to drink. Heh. Oh well.
K-mart has some good Icees, Watermelon as they call it, is the original flavor, and is the best in all categories! From what I've tried at least. The fact that it has no aftertaste is what I enjoy most. Kinkos... I found a Reporter Pad or something like that... and that was interesting. They should just use a normal notepad, I don't understand why they need something that is long and not too wide. Don't the 50 cent notepads do just as well? Why waste 3$ on something so thin and strange? Is it really worth it? The thin and strange part maybe, but geez, 3$? That's a lot for a few sheets of paper. I could probably buy about 500 blank sheets of 20 pound paper on sale for that price. Heck, go to a book sale, you can buy a book for 25 cents. heh. Money is very versatile on some things, and not on others.

The crackers manipulated me! :bored:
Quoting somebody...
"So the packet of crackers is tempting me? How does that work, exactly? I mean, if I'm hungry, I might eat some crackers; I guess you could say I was tempted to eat some crackers, but that's about it. I certainly wouldn't say that the crackers manipulated me into commiting the grave sin of gluttony, as my free will was in full effect during the entire transaction.
Usually we give people a free room and a nice coat when they start talking about how objects are telling them what to do. "
I love crackers. In fact after reading that, the cracker manipulated me to eat them. I just love that quote up there! Thanks Kawaii Pang-Kun!
Traditional day for me. Watered my little seeds I planted yesterday. The only ones that I remember are lavender, lupine, and the Texas Bluebonnet. Played Utopia. Read forums... got bored the end for the day or at least now. I slept until 1 in the day... so... if that's anything... Have a nice day!

Soap... isn't there supposed to be an accent?
Ok, so another day has passed. It's surprising to me when I discover how much I do... based upon others. I mean my dad told me that:
"You have to start waking up early. It's not healthy for you to be sleeping in till 1."
I suppose it makes sense, but then again, I prefer to be up at night. Is there something wrong with that? But... despite my own opinion, I woke up early... hoping to make him happy.
He never really said anything... and it made me wonder why I even woke up early in the first place. If I want to make people happy (as in them not being upset at me...) I need to discover just WHERE and WHEN that value... was... embedded into my being. Perhaps... it was in my childhood, but it is something that will consume my thought for a while.
Another issue on my mind. Other languages. I heard that it is common for people to learn other languages. The US is different then. I mean half the people here only know English, and are just plain lazy (like myself) and unwilling to learn another language.
Is that really a good standard for us?
Perhaps boredom and the freedom of speech spawns too much in my mind.

Urgh. Today, I looked at Oprah magazine. That thing stunk so bad! I mean I literally cut out the perfume they had in there. The damn thing gave me a headache. I really didn't like the thing. The only reason I got it was because it had an article on men.
The psychology of normal men and women interest me. So don't look at me (well the computer) and say that's weird and all. I just can't go up and ask a guy what it means to be a guy. I mean come on! It's like asking any person: What does it mean to be you?
What answers do you expect? Probably... I dunno. So just forget it.
My mother dragged me to Wal-Mart for groceries. I wonder how much Wal-mart is making off of groceries...hmm... oh well.
Bored out of my mind now.

Time's flying by. I'm kinda tired though. My shoulders are really sore. I can't believe how out of shape I am, I mean it's only 30 push-ups and I'm out for days. 3 now. I don't think that swimming a two days ago helped me. I had a good conversation with my friend Tivis last night. A lot of people go though a lot of things and issues. No one issue seems unique about a person.... except their genes and mind. Not a bad thing, not a good thing.
We found a trojan horse on my dad's computer. My own seems to be clear. I wonder why the file can't be deleted, but there's nothing that I can really do about all this. I mean if I can't do anything then I still have to find a way to get rid of the program, I mean it's a trojan horse for crying out loud! Hello! back door into the computer. It has to go somehow, even if we can't get it gone in DOS or Windows.
Music's always nice.

I'm going to go back and change all those dates! But whatever.
Today was a very... "fun" filled day. I can't believe a lot of the things that went on. Well, I can, but you know what I mean.
First on my agenda, was Powerpoint in BST. Geez, presentation on my life? Well I suppose it could be worse, but it's kind of fun. I can say all the things I want to... like I've been to 4 elementary schools, 1 middle and 2 high schools. I can't to everyone that it's something to gloat about, but it's SOMETHING to say about my life. Almost nothing interesting goes on with me involved, so it's like "Yeah, I didn't just come from some school somewhere out there. I came from 4 of those schools out there." It's ok, as long as my oral presentation goes well with it.
THE VERY next thing that happened totally screwed up my day. It's called frog dissection. I hope we got a guy, I think it might make the project a whole lot easier. All those ovaries and eggs will get in the way if we have a girl. I hope fate goes my way, but whatever happens, I will be prepared for it.
(and that's where I stopped yesterday.)

Now I'm just not happy. I'm able to control my emotions extremely well, in my terms. If I want to seem happy, upset, or nonplussed, I can. But that's just the thing, I wasn't upset when I wasn't invited to that Scholar's thing. I supposedly got something sent to me, but then I discovered I wasn't on the list. I don't know what's up with that, but I accepted it without anger, and really am over it now.
I got my yearbook signed by a lot people and I played Gameboy advance SP for the first time. I like it, but I want one in silver. I think, by the low cost of batteries, it's worth it all. Also, yesterday, or was it the day before?... we had the last meeting of WLC. Now I honestly think that there is something wrong with my memory, but you know what? If I keep thinking that, it might make it come true, so I don't have a memory problem. I just press the wrong buttons a lot.
I can pace myself in my work and projects, as I've discovered, it's second natured now. I'm glad.
