Went to the band room instead of my first period (with permission of course) to see some college recruiters from Bowie State's band. I am going to atleast apply there. They have such a good band and music program, and it's open to NON-music majors. I bet if I check, I'll find that they offer Graphic or Game design. Doña, I should thank you for inviting your former student from Hampton to speak with us. I wasn't sure if I'd wanted to apply to an HBCU, but she kinda talked me into it. Plus, she was kinda cute ☺.

My brother just threw up 3 times in the bathroom trash can....right in front of me. It was gross. I was playing on the 360, so I had to sit in there with him.

(8:00pm)

I played a demo for Dance Central on easy, got 4 stars, then bumped it to hard. Died on the song before it even got 10 seconds in. I swear I was in the house of the cockies real quick (the ones with all the mouths)

(8:34pm)

Had to take the pail of vomit to the balcony because it stunk. This boy need to stop drinking. I just playing, it was just a bunch of Gatorade and what looked like Tacos and chicken. Smelled worse.

(9:50pm)

Took out the trash in the rainy weather. Bad idea to walk down a slippery and muddy hill. As soon as I hit that hill, I slid down, getting mud all over my clothes. Going up wasn't better. I walked up and slipped and almost fell back down.

(10:30pm)

I find it interesting that these seem like Twitter feeds, but I barily even post on Twitter.

(11:00pm)

Playing a racing game called Harm's Way. It's awesome, and like every other thing I become interested in, I dominate. Just kidding. I'm a noble Hyperion, not a cocky Atlas.

(11:35pm)

Should I come to school?

(11:37pm)

Home= sleep in, video games, tv, facebook.....complete BOREDOM!!!

School= movie, movie, relationship abuse, AVID, Doña, Library, mess with Ms. Kruze one last time, Mrs. Cathirell, hug every girl I know for good luck (for me ☺) next year, movie, using the computers......H*** yeah!!! See ya at school!!!

(11:40pm)

It's crazy, but I haven't missed a single day of school yet this year. I've even come on days when students weren't supposed to come to school. I came one time to hang with Doña, but she wasn't at school that day, so I hung with Ms. Lori, Ms. Shay, their kids, and Ms. Banister's sons. Doña, can I hang with you until school actually ends?

We have a guest speaker from Hampton. Kinda cute. Her name was Lindsey. That's all I can remember. In all honesty, I don't know if it was her attractiveness, her energy, the fact that she was an HU student, or that I had already visited HU, but she kind of inspired me to apply to an HBCU. Ha, there's that word again, “inspire”. So far, that's 2 people.

Soooooo tired. I was asleep most of 2nd period, some of 3rd, and some of 4th. But let's talk about the time when I was awake. I was depressed coming into the day. I won't go into deep details, but I told Trey about my problem, and he gave me some encouragement. It helped.

It's creepy, yes I know, but I could not stop looking at Arianna in English class today. I mean, I go down to guidance to turn in my LORs to Ms. Casale, and found out that I had about 10 unusable student transcript in my pouch, so I have to pay $2 on top of the $4 I already owe to print new copies of my transcripts. I'm walking up to class with this sad demeanor on my face (not that I ever smile), and when I get there, Arianna's the first to greet me with a wide smile. I sat down, and she continued to smile, then she asked me where I was. Skip ahead, we had to watch a movie from Safari Montage and answer some questions. Arianna was watching more than I was, because I was knocked out for atleast 30 minutes. I woke up, and she was still laying on her desk, I guess wide awake. I just thought, what is with this girl to where whenever I'm around her, I forget about everything. The only others who could do that are Doña, Mrs. Cathirell, and Shautria (one of which I hope never sees this, she may see bashful). I also remembered the first day I saw her, the first day she was in AVID, how excited she was when she saw we had AVID together, and the first time I saw her cry (thanks Doña☺). I also admire her resilence. Seems like when she gets knock down 5 feet, she jumps up 10 feet. She caught me, it was awkward, but she just smiled, and I blushed bashfully and kinda looked away. Yeah, y'all have to remember that I USED TO have a HUGE crush on her.

I'm so nervous about my grades. They aren't so hot. I should sleep. Doña, please don't reap me.

I walked home freaked out today. My hood was off, my music was off, and I was walking on the far side of the side walk. I also was constantly looking over my shoulder for cars. Doña confirmed the story my dad had told me about how that AVID 11 student died. Carney and Doña both said that they worry about me. Whenever I walk to or from school, I have my hood on pretty much over my periphial vision and parts of my actual vision, my music is all the way up, and (to be frank) I almost never pay attention to cars. There have been so many times that I almost got hit (and actually did get hit) by cars, but luck saved me. It only takes one to kill. I'm young, too young. That young man's story inspired me to excercise more caution and awareness when ever I walk home. Ha, Inspire. Who said that the word was just for me to do to others.....

RIP Ryan

Christmas service at church. So busy. Got there a bit late for set up, but so did a couple other people, so I set up the projector and ran the cable to the table where the computer was supposed to be (someone else brings the laptop). The rest of the time was pretty much nothing.

Service started, and I had to run the PowerPoint presentation since one of the women on my team had to take care of some business. It went well though. Praise team did two songs, then we greeted the visitors, read the scripture, then meet and greet. I had to run up to the front to cover the projector for the little kids to sing. The little kids were so adorable. They sang “Happy Birthday, Jesus”. I remember being that young and singing that. I can vividly hear my god-sister, Megan, gracefully playing the violin and her sister, Michaela, singing her solo. Oh the good days....

After that, I had to move the screen off of the stage and turn out the lights for a dance performance by the youth girls and two women (yes, Jacquynn and Jaelen were a part of it). I stood in the back and watched them. They did well. Jaelen had a solo.

I played. With Baby Alex and Brin. They're so adorable, and have strong grips. Every time I put my finger in theirs, they grab it so tight with their tiny hands that I have to pretty much pry loose. I'm gonna make a good father some time in the near future when I'm atleast 25 and MARRIED (hint hint, fellas).

(11:20pm)

Pardon me for a bit, but I'm gonna whup Chrysta's (whatever you want). She has no self control or limits. 11:20 at night and she comes into my room to get on my brother's computer. My brother's way to avarice. For $15, she was able to get on his computer whenever she wanted and have his password. I said something to him that Doña and Carney would wash my mouth with soap for. He gonna needa change his code now.

I stayed in the house ALL day. Most of the time I was bored....and tired (but that's because I went to bed at 2, woke up at 6:30, and got back up at 9). All I pretty much did today was clean, read, and watched This Christmas with my family. There's a lot of stuff I didn't catch all of the other times I watched it. Oh, and fellas, one quick message for y'all: always check the floors before stepping out of the shower if your WIFE (hint hint) seduces you and says that you should get in the shower, because I'm sure that if they do hot grits, they sure will put baby oil all over the floors and beat you with a strong leather belt as you slip and slide butt naked on the floor. I felt every bit of that pain, too. Trust me, getting got while you are in the shower or fresh out of the shower burns. Ladies, your HUSBAND (hint hint) ever abuse you, get him in the shower, then call your friends (maybe the police) and get out of there. And Doña or Carney, please don't yell at me for this. I would tell my own family this stuff. I told my sisters to call me if that happened.

Watched Beyond scared straight. There's always one who's cocky and doesn't change at all, and one that says he'll change but ends up slipping back into his ways or doing something completely stupid. SMH. I literally almost want to crap my pants everytime I watch that show.

December 11, 2011- My dear best friend

(8:35pm)

So, today in English we learned about Shakespearean sonnets. We also had to partner up to analyze 2 sonnets by Shakespeare and write a sonnet of our own, and guess who my partner was. My best friend, Arianna Russell-Cooper☺. We were only partners because we sit right next to each other. I didn't mind, I could work with almost anyone in the class. But I did enjoy it ☺. That girl cracks me up some times. I tell ya. When we got past our 2 sonnets and went to write our own, I had to help explain to her how to use a rhyme scheme that wasn't an “AABB” scheme (I think I might have actually had to explain what a rhyme scheme was). Shakespeare uses an “ABAB CDCD EFEF GG” scheme in his poetry. We got so much done, but didn't finish it, so we just sent it home with me (I guess because I'm a good writer or understand it better or creative with words? I'm not sure?). It's not much, just 6 more lines. Y'all know me, 6 lines ain't hard. I wrote a whole poem in less than an hour for Doña's birthday, and I wrote lyrics to a song I created in about an hour combined. There was only one thing Arianna made me promise: Don't forget to do it and to put it somewhere I'd remember it (okay, so that's 2 things). Non-flirting, she looked cute when she made me promise. Then again, she's always been a beautiful young lady. I would never break a promise between us, or anyone.
