Today...
Worked concessions at a play for theatre. It was fun, I'm doing it again Saturday night. I wore a ridiculous outfit and I loved it. Have a [cabbage]-ton of math homework due. I can correct papers I fail, though, so I'll just do a few problems and write the rest of the numbers down if I don't think I can finish it. [cabbage]tery is one of my primary methods of taking care of business. Also, I hate chemistry.

NASA Launching Spacecraft at the Moon
A lot of you are terrible readers. NASA launched this quite some time ago. They're hitting a crater in the moon with ONE spacecraft, while one watches, to see if there's water beneath the surface, as many scientists believe. There will be a live feed. It would suck if you lived on the moon, but it's already been calculated that it will be fine. I, for one, would like to see the moon bombed [cabbage]less. What with its smugness. Plus, they're hitting an already-large and dark crater, so the real worst-case scenario is a crater gets deeper but we don't even notice.

The worst thing you've ever tasted?
A ketchup and salt shot. I had to drink it. It is very hard.

Today...
Really? :shock: Get prescriptions for it and then just stockpile it. :grin: Haha, I never really use it anyways. The reason why John Key (NZ's Prime Minister) made it prescription only medicine is because he's attempting to prevent P from being made. -.- I doubt it'll work. Yeah, you can make (supposedly) crystal meth with sudafed. I think it might be prescription only here, too. Unless we're ridiculous and just have it as an 18+ purchase. Because ALL the twelve year olds sniffling and coughing (not the greasy thirty year old with a tank top and skirt on) are trying to make some meth.

Hey Hey! Racist Red Faces?
It was kind of funny, I guess. Not uproariously or something. Got a little chuckle. But I don't really believe in racism, especially when people call it out like that. Humor is often blamed and misrepresented as sexism, racism, and many other isms. Isms, in my opinion, are not a good thing.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Women around 18-19 usually like dating guys their age or a little bit older, occasionally a lot older. They generally like a little older at all ages. Girls don't date younger guys a lot, though. Until this societal obsession with cougars came along, that is. Maybe you should set your sights higher, eh?

Acting (an) Age
Lord: Haha, well, it certainly isn't meant to be extremely serious. Or, you know, serious at all. A good Disney screenplay is really not bad for me. I haven't put as much effort as I should have before showing it to you guys. And a 2/10 sounds kind of generous to me at this stage. Ben: Well, if I'm to make it into a real film and send it into festivals (can't say I seriously expect to win anything more than a pat on the back), it has to be short. And I have a budget of just about zero dollars. Everything I do with this comes out of my pocket, so I can't make it long. I understand I need some emotional depth, but I've always had trouble with that. I just don't understand how to really create it - at least, with words it's difficult. I might be able to jury-rig something if you're actually able to see all the stage directions and everything, some subtle movements and hear tones of voices, that sort of thing. Oh yeah, the rolling with it is something I'm trying to fix. Honestly it's temporary until I find something better - I had that last half-page or so and had to fill it with something or else I couldn't concentrate. It's almost a band-aid, perhaps a little more. I have a few ideas, but most of them are very complex and change the whole script. Anyways, I'm not totally sure what I've been aiming for with it, but I've been told it is very reminiscent of a bit more childish version of an episode of the Twilight Zone. I couldn't think of a more specific example, so that really is pretty close. I'd played with the idea of shooting in black and white, but when you're working with reflectors and light dampening instead of professional equipment, black and white is incredibly impractical. I just struggle at being able to make more emotional depth to a character. I could probably give you a damn biography, but depth is just so ... difficult for me. I have a book full of short screenplays, though, and I'm toying with a couple of other ideas. If I actually bring any to fruition, I'll totally throw them up here. 5 pages isn't difficult for me to write - I can handle that in a few hours, easy. It's perfecting it - or at least getting it pretty close - that I can't seem to do. I have to ask you a question though. And, anyone else who reads this: if someone at your school made a film and had a sort of premiere at your school's auditorium (or whatever), would you go if you didn't know much about it (I would assume no)? What would make you think, "Hey, this is pretty neat. I should go!" because appealing to an audience my age is certainly my goal. I would love to make a really funny one as well, but my sense of humor is certainly not explainable. I have no idea how I'd turn that into a character. I mean, I'm sure if someone who personally knew me played a character that had something of my sense of humor, it would be much easier, but I think it'd still be rough. Thank you both, very much, though.

NCAA Football!
... Go Red Raiders? ... No .... Houston and UT are Texas' best hopes. UT is an obvious one, but Houston usually gets destroyed by everyone but Rice. A&M is really quiet this year, too.

Click it or ticket
I thought it was the same way across the country? It's mandatory in Texas now, and everybody in the car has to wear a seatbelt. It used to be, if you were in the back and older than like 12 you didn't have to. Cops generally don't care, though. I wear one anyways, just unconsciously because a lot of my friends do. It depends who I'm riding with. More of my friends that drive don't wear one, but my friends that don't drive always wear one. I was always confused by that because I never used to wear one. But, I just got over it.

Do you prefer Summer or Winter?
I like winter more because the weather sucks less here. In summer it's 105+ every day, and zero humidity, and hair-dryer hot wind, so it generally blows (except nearly nightly thunder storms, those make it all worthwhile). Winter is nice a lot of the time, though, temperatures occasionally stick to a schedule of hanging around 70 degrees during the day. I mean, it hops between 100+ and in the teens if the planet feels like [bleep]ing with us, but it's nice a lot of the time. Don't like ice or sleet storms, though. And the quarter inch of snow we get a year usually does more to bum me out than make me happy. I like spring, though. Still cool a lot, but it's warm during the most active parts of the day. Lovely.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
She digs you, I bet. You gotta jump on the opportunity. You have to realize that sometimes the coolest and most fun people flirt with everyone. I certainly do, and lately I've decided to start escalating it even more because I've noticed some hilarious results at school. I don't really enjoy dating girls I go to school with, but that's a whole other story. It's just fun. You should try it sometime. And never, even "tell a girl how you feel" unless you've been dating for a while. And even then, don't pour your heart out all sappily. Life isn't a Meg Ryan movie. If anything, try to make it a Clint Eastwood. Simple things to make her feel good are great, like a simple, cool "You really are a cool girl" or something along those lines to let her know you dig her but you aren't obsessed with her. I know two girls that I'm pretty much positive are into me, but I really just don't want to. One of them is pretty cool, and she's hot as hell, but I'm known her for a while and she gets on my nerves sometimes :/ Then the other girl's really cool, not much to look at, but really fun to be around, I'm just not really attracted to her. Oh well. I should probably try to actually have a "girlfriend" sometime. .... Naaaah.

Entouraaaaaage
I have only recently started watching. My brother recorded the entire 6th season on our DVR, so I was sick the past couple days and started watching. Holy [cabbage], I love it. Nothing more needs to be said.

The MBTI Personality Test
High five for another Journalist. I think what they mean is that you can figure out peoples motives easier than others. Yaaaay. I got ENFJ on the other test someone posted though. I think. It might have been EFTJ. Or EFTP. I can't remember all these damnable acronyms. Damnable acronyms!

Acting (an) Age
Hey folks, I'm writing a screenplay to be turned into a short film sometime soon(ish). This is the latest draft, and I'd like some criticism on it. This is a sort of middle draft. I have a few other ideas I'm working on as well, though, which you could probably expect to be up here sometime in the nearish future. It has a bunch of fancy formatting, so I'm just going to link to its .pdf. Sorry for any hassle that might cause you. Here it is. I know the site's a little annoying, but I can't really help it. Thanks for reading!

Disfavored careers: data analyst, scientist, researcher, financial advisor, business analyst, govt employee, office manager, mathematician, investment banker, office worker, computer tech, it professional, network engineer, strategist True dat. Haha, and I reread my description, and summed it up for what every guy that ever posts something on a dating site should ... post. "I'm an ENFP - extroverted intuitive feeling perceptive! I'm a dangerous rule breaker prone to losing things and I'm very seductive. Give me a call babe. Because I'll lose your number while I'm out trying new things being a performer, actor, entertainer, songwriter, musician, filmmaker or other [bleep]ING AWESOME job."

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Go for it. It'll [bleep] up eventually, in fact probably much quicker since you're both relatively young, but it'll be fun while it happens. Give you some (probably) needed experience. Just try and settle it when one of you starts becoming emotionally attached to the other (more often it happens with the girl, they think more that way, but there are plenty of guys that will get hooked). Don't let it all crumble. Oh, and make sure you're basing it more on her opinion than on yours, because if you show up in her room and get naked while she just wants to talk about her ex-boyfriend and how much of a [bleep] he is, it might get a little wierd. Not in the good way, either.

Today...
It's stereotypically a mexican car :P For 800 I can guarantee it will require work on it. Hell, any car you get for under a thousand will probably cost you at last as much in work. Unless you don't mind if it runs terribly and breaks down on you within a few months - but, then again, I've seen kids get by with much worse. Rubber bands and duct tape practically made up my sister's first car for a year. I think they're pretty cool though. Just don't put big ol' rims or something stupid like that on them. Or people will think you think you're mexican. Just make sure everything checks out, title's good, it runs pretty decent. If you have any questions about cars, there are a few of us here that can answer them. Or, even better, the rest of the internet. Buuuuut. If you can't call, I guess it doesn't matter. Try looking on Craigslist.

Real life pictures - 3
That's a fantastic picture. Whoever took it, you should give props to. That's something that you should frame.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Actually, Mage seems to get on pretty well with his sister. Anyway, as I told you, go for it. If I'm remembering right, she's shown some interest in you, correct? And if it bothers you, ask what your sister thinks first. Oh, whoops. Which one of those crazy Aussies hated their sister, then? Oh well. I say go for it, carefully.

Real life help & advice
You would have to get a class A or B license to drive it around. Sounds like an idea you'll hate in a few years, but it also sounds like a [cabbage]load of fun. Personally I would make it something that would appeal to everyone, more of a party bus than a gaming bus. But, to each his own. Go for it.
