Today...

[Lenticular_J]

The thing was, there are street lights all along the last quarter mile because it's right on a little dam. It's freaky.

 

Oh, and the terrifying song we were listening to:

Today I went to a birthday party. It was OK.

[Distracted]

Today I found out my grandmother died.

What I find kinda scary is that I'm not that sad. It makes me feel somewhat inhuman.

I'm sorry for you man. I lost my 'nan a few years ago. At first I was like 'Woah'. Then I was like '[cabbage] man, this sucks.'

Your body is going through denial, mine did when my dog died. I never cried about it until a few months after he died, where I just had a breakdown and cried in a way that nobody would say I'm capable of.

Oh, sorry to hear that man. I lost my great grandma some weeks ago, but I wasn't too close to her. I realized that I never really saw her as a person, since she was already too old when I was bron and met her. This must make me sound like an [wagon], but what I mean is that I never heard her have an opinion on anything, heck, I don't even remember her talking many times.

 

OT: My bro left today, so I'm home alone for 5 days. Sadly, I have to study for a test.

[Sam]

school, that's about it.

[BlindBaker]

So, last night, around midnight. Me and three friends in my friend Travis' small car. We decide to go to Canyon Lake (this area that's pretty much the only "forest" around) because we're stupid and want to die (lots of drug deals and [cabbage] go down there at night). There's a long road going down there, and the speed limit's like 20. It's already past curfew, at least for me (everyone else was 18 or 19...), so we just say [bleep] it and go down the road at about 70. Completely abandoned, nobody's around. We pass the one place people sometimes go (to [bleep], really) that's sort of hidden, nothing there. We stop at this tree known as the "rape tree" (guess why ...), and creepy music is playing, so I say we should keep going. This stretch of road you can see down for like a mile and a half, and ahead there is a dam so it nothing could be hiding there or anything.

 

So we move to another cluster of trees, just sit and talk for a little while in the car. Still nobody on the road - there are lights sporadically on the street, so we can see (you'll see where I'm going). So we decide to head into the trees, drive a minute to our usual parking place, and start to get out. Nobody around, but we still lock the doors as we get out. Then, my friend Art says, "Hey there's a cop behind us." And [bleep]ing sure enough, a cop with no lights or anything on is just behind us. Never made a sound - and we'd been paying attention this whole time, and nobody was around. We were just kinda pissed and figured he'd somehow followed us for speeding. So, we unlock the doors again and just get out and stand next to the car. I can barely see the cop, but he has sunglasses on (it's about 12:50 AM).

 

We wait for a minute, and think about just going up and asking him what's up, when he [bleep]ing drives into the woods. He pops this 6-inch curb and drives down a two-man path into the woods at 20 mph, and then he [bleep]ing disappears. Even worse- he didn't make a sound driving over the loose gravel three feet from us.

 

We go in the cars, locked our doors, and drove off like mother [bleep]ers. Cops do not go into Canyon Lake unless it's a planned stakeout. And we went back and plotted our route - no way he could have come up behind us. We went to where we parked, looked around the dirt and gravel, and there isn't a single tire mark.

 

It was freaky. Ghost cop, we call it.

Reminds me of this. I dunno if it's true or not, but if it's fake, that's one hell of an illusion.

I tried to withdraw some money from my bank account today. I can't believe how hard it can be.

 

I don't have a bank card which I could use to withdraw money from an ATM machine. So I walked in the bank and asked to withdraw 270 from my account (to pay for my new computer which I will hopefully get this week). They asked me for an ID. I don't have an ID with a photo on it, so they also checked that it really belonged to me by asking some questions like my address. Then they said that because I'm underage, I need to have a guardian with me. No problem I thought. A bit later I came back with my father. BUT, they told me that my father isn't actually legally my guardian (yeah, he's only lived with my mother since 1993 and certainly has been my guardian since I was born... but for some weird reason not legally). This was a surprise for both me and my father. Of course my mother (who is my only legal guardian) is at work until five every day this week and the bank closes 30 minutes earlier, so there was nothing I could do.

 

How damn hard can it be to withdraw money from a bank account? The account is 100% mine after all, so I can't understand why I even need a guardian with me.

 

For some reason I could withdraw money from the account last summer, when I also went there with my father. I just can't understand this. :wall:

Lol'd. Technically your father isn't your guardian unless you can prove he's your father, and even though the account is yours, they see it as the money in your account is still under the responsibility of your parents until you are no longer a minor. That's what I think.

 

My today has been a bit crap, yesterday was a different story, went to London but that was pretty much it. =(

Or, his grandma wasn't all that close to him.

I can prove he's my father, but he just isn't legally my guardian. Weird but true. Though it's a bit funny that it took him over 15 years to find that out.

Some tellers are just jerks. I was about to explode after this one teller kept denying me as I tried withdrawing money from my college fund account, asking for paper after papers after papers. Then one day she wasn't there and her replacement gave me the OK and wondered why I went through all the trouble trying to prove I was a full time student. I was like :angry: but then I was all :lol: because I had a wad of cash in my pocket.

[H2PM]

Well, tomorrow is my 16th birthday.

 

Yay. :thumbup:

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

Happy 16th in a few hours.

 

I've had an akward day, which I can't be bothered to explain right now.

To those who care: The Fall of Troy is ending as a band. :sad:

To those who don't: the world goes on as normal.

 

I just realized that I have to finish reading Wuthering Heights by Thursday. I'm on chapter 7. My days just got a whole lot busier.

Some of my "friends" at lunch thought it would be funny to shout that I play RuneScape out loud at lunch.

 

There goes my reputation...

_Kidding.

I managed to stick a few posters up around my school without anyone noticing (http://learntodobydoing.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/thundercock-lost-cat-poster1.jpeg). Jaerk gave me the idea. Teachers pulled one down in less than 5 minutes. :'( At least I haven't gotten caught yet...

I may end up going to their last show although I'm not actually a big fan of theirs. It just happens to be near where I live and me friends want to go.

 

At least I think it's their last show. Not positive.

 

Edit: It's the last one listed on their site so I assume it is actually the last one.

They actually have a show about an hour away from me in April and the tickets are only $12, but my parents refuse to let me go for completely trivial reasons. It's really upsetting. Though my friend and I are covering all of the songs off of Manipulator in honor of them D:

Students at my school like to make fun of RS players. Stereotyping them as nerds and losers and such... Pretty [developmentally delayed]ed if you ask me. Just because a game requires patience and intelligence automatically makes it a "nerd" game. Same goes for any medieval fantasy game.

The one time they came here I hadn't even heard of them. -.- They should have had the Seattle show last since that's where they're from, that would be a sick show.

 

I've been listening to The Dark Trail on repeat for a good half hour.

[Dizzle229]

Got to thinking what I'm going to do after HS. And the conclusion I came to was that stability=boring. Going to work at Gamestop for about a year or so until I have enough money to make my way to Cumberland, Maryland. From there, I hook up with my friend, who is prepared as well. From there, we just walk from place to place, and we should eventually end up in California. From there, we buy plane tickets, and travel around the planet from then on. Whenever we run out of money, we work random jobs around whatever town we happen to be in. Most of the more expensive things we need we already have, so all we need to worry about is food/batteries/etc...

 

I also realized three major problems.

 

1) Sleeping. We have a few tents we can use, but where would we set up? We're not sure about the laws on that sort of thing yet.

2) The western states. We cannot walk along a long stretch of highway in the blazing sun. Either aquire other transportation, or stick to the north? We don't know yet.

3) This is not going to last forever. We can keep this up for a good few years, but then what? If we're not on the East Coast when we finish, we're pretty screwed.

[rangeor]

Heh, The Dark Trail happens to be the first one I'm covering :P Then it's Quarter Past, Semi-Fiction, Oh the Casino, Ex-Creations, and Panama. It's gonna be sick.

 

And I can agree with Runescape requiring patience, but it really doesn't require much intelligence at all.
