11-11-00 Happy Saturday everybody.  I can barely hold my hands up to type because my arms are so sore from yard work today.  I came home from Fall Forum and blew and raked leaves for a while.  That made me happy.  Fall Forum was fun, i thought.  I mean I got free food, a free tshirt, got to see THE hottest guy, and got to hang out with my friends.  I worked one of the registration tables for an hour then we went to the opening assembly then went to Chris Smith's class on Pompeii.  Woooo, we got to see a miniature volcano explode and then were all disappointed when the lighter fluid didn't catch the little miniature town of Pompeii on fire.  Then we went to an empty classroom and watched part of The Last Days of Pompeii, which i didn't know was dubbed and so as we're all watching it i go 'Hey they're not really saying that!"  The whole roomfull of people turned and looked at me and Cory just goes "It's dubbed."  Yeah, so that's ok.  I acted like a freaking hyper psycho because, well, i was hyper, and I didn't know any of the people we were 'teaching' so it didn't matter.  I went to go get something to eat and when I came back we played latin hangman and 7up.  We actually had to explain to a few kids how to PLAY 7up.  I didn't know there were people who actually had never played that before.  They're not really missing out.  Ooh and I wore my mo today!  It was cold enough.  I was so glad.  I should have worn it last night when i went to school to help set up for fall forum, but more on lsat night later.  There was this one kid in the class who i found out was a freshman, and he had the coolest hair.  It was long and all spiked up so it was really TALL and whatnot.  He let me touch it, which I enjoyed.  Ummmm what else....hm I don't know.  Oh yeah they zip tied all the lockers shut so nothing would get stolen out of them.  That was entertaining.  The people from other schools probably think we're all nuts. OK last night Reid, Cory, and I went to Target on Barrett Parkway and for about an hour, walked around singing and playing the guitar.  Well, Reid played the guitar and I sang, and Cory just walked with us being completely humiliated.  When we first walked in, we grabbed some sunglasses and put them on then found hats.  Then we walked back to the men's underwear section across from the shoes and sat down.  Cory put a robe on and we sat in a circle, singing a song about some girl across the way who was trying on shoes.  SHe looked at us like we were weird or something.  Then later on I surprised myself by singing every word of El Scorcho.  I didn't realize I'd learned all the lyrics by heart, but apparently I have.  Lots of people stopped dead in their tracks and stared at us as we walked around serenading them.  This one guy came up to us and he was about our age and I said "Hey there, that's  a nice gopher you have there."  BEcuase he had a gopher puppet on his hand.  So from that moment on until he had to leave with his parents he was one of us.  And then so was his kid brother.  I asked the little guy what his favorite band was to get some ideas for what to sing and this little guy's like "Uh..Limp Bizkit."  Well, that was a little discouraging because not only did reid not know how to play any limp bizkit on his guitar, I didn't know any lyrics.  Nor do I particularly like Limp Bizkit.  SO.  We walked around for a while playing lots of stuff including "House of the Rising Sun"  and "santeria".  Yeah we were rockin.  Then we went to Media PLay but that was an uninspiring store full of posers so we left.  It was the same scene at Old Navy.  Nothing could recreate the beauty of the Target experience.  We also went to the mall around 9 but that was not an experience worth sharing seeing as how the mall closes at nine and that's when we got there. You know how i mentioned earlier about seeing the hottest guy ever today at fall forum?  Well I was sitting at one of the lunch tables in the courtyard with everybody and he walks by with his school group.  When I saw him my jaw kind of involuntarily dropped open.  He picks THAT moment to look RIGHT at me.  hahaha, I felt so retarted because it didn't register or anything because when i saw him my mind went totally blank.  So after he turns away, I realize that my jaw is about to unhinge itself it's hanging open so wide, so I quickly close my mouth.  PJ and Cory kept trying to guess which guy it was because the only way I could describe him was as 'the hottest guy i've ever seen.  He's the one wearing the visor and the plaid shirt."  Well this would describe approx 1/3 of the entire male population, so they kept going "Is that the guy?  is that the guy?"  I learned a lot today.  I learned that there is much strategy involved in playing snake on your cell phone.  I learned it is best to keep your jaw locked when you see a hottie walk by.  I learned that getting mohair in your contact lens is NOT a comfortable situation.  I learned....yeah.  I saw Alan Hoffman.  Do you remember him?  THAT was weird.  I saw him and I just went "HOly crap! Alan Hoffman!!"  He looks exactly the same as he did when we were in third grade except a little taller.  And he didn't seem as evil as he was back then.  ANd his email is languagemonkey@yahoo.com or something equally as retarted becuse his favorite word is "mokey"  and he takes lots of languages.  Yeah, COry told me all this, i didn't actually talk to the guy.  But he and cory used to best friends so alan didn't leave him alone. Man I'm tired.  Ive been really sleep deprived lately.  So that's fun.  Oh MAN there's a ton of phsyics homework. I tried to get a head start on it this weekend but it's really hard!  At least I thought so.  I"m not the greatest physics student, so I could be way off. It was such a beautiful day today.  It really was.  I'm glad i got to go out and rake, that was nice.  I'm a tad sore, that's no good, but whatever.  Oh and guess what?  My mom's definitely going to let me take kickboxing!  And Stacy said she'd takeit with me.  All i have to do now is actually find a place to take it.  yay. mmmmmtired
