What is the most memorable thing that happened to you today?

[CrazyFrog1903]

Sorry for the double post. I was unable to make it to school once again. That was fun while it lasted.

 

[Harrie]

Today I broke down in the middle of a school wide presentation on the very real dangers of drunk driving. I went home at lunch, and broke down again telling my mom about it. I found out that an issue I thought I'd left behind was just a fresh as it was over a year ago. I think today was something inevitable, something needed.

I think Washington Irving said it best, "There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power."

Woaw. Yesterday I handed my so called "Facharbeit" in. It is an essay about five to ten pages long about a topic we had to choose for ourselves but that needed to be connected with the development of language (so it is a task from my German teacher).

I am just happy I finished it and handed it in. May just be ten pages, but there are also reading all the sources and books and so on and listing everything in the annex of the document.
Then you have to quote where you got your thoughts from and basically you cannot just know something, you need to find a source for it.
Like: "The human hand has four fingers and a thumb" and the teacher's still asking for citation.

Additionaly we are now writing major test after major test. And since all the 13th graders do now their final exams and all the 10th graders their mid-school exams we have so many days that are stricken and thus we have less time for a reasonable test schedule and the teachers are strained, too.

 

[Harrie]

You use a different format for writing than we do then, even under MLA format we only have to cite that which came from a source and is not common knowledge, common knowledge being something any random person off the street would know.


I'm excited about school for once, it's the only time I really get to see my girlfriend before school gets out for the summer. This fact only makes me dislike homework more.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I found out today that I am being accused of harrasing someone. What is so wierd about it is. The fact that my phone is shut off and my car has been parked for over a week and not driven. I have had contact with only 2 people other than my family. So, how I could harrase anyone else is beyond me. I am waiting to hear back from the D.A.'s office on what exactly I am accused of doing. I got all the prrof and witnesses I need to prove I have done nothing. How is it trouble comes looking for me when I do my best to avoid it.

 

[Harrie]

Eh... I'm assuuming your from the States... Unfortunatly we live in a lawsuit happy culture.

Found out today i have a job interview at the local Christian Center, a friend of mine put in a good word for me... so lets up I'm as good as he might have made me sound.

I was also just told by my niece (18), who is dating my bestfriend (17), that I may not make it to my 18th birthday in 2 weeks after I left her boyfriend in on a little joke.

Sorry to here about that CF I hope you get that cleared


Good luck one your Job interview Harrie

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Things will be cleared up. I have been offered help from everyone that I know around here. I am the one everyone calls when they need help and they have had lots of problems with the person that is causing this problem for me. She found a pandora's box when she decided to go against me. And I will keep it all legal.

Today I get to take my kids to see Spiderman 3. Its an 8th birthday present to my oldest. His Bday is on the 5th.

 

[Harrie]

I went to see Spiderman 3.... It was supposed to start at 7:30, but didn't start until nearly 8 because this mouthy little girl just wouldn't stop complaining, she accused the entire row behind her, the row my girlfriend and I happened to be in, of making fun of her sister, who is a Freshman (I think) in HS and wasn't even there, and I was ready to get up and leave just before the manager came down and told this girl that if she had a problem and couldn't deal with it then she should leave.

Gah... Heck of a first date, eh?

PS: Other than that the movie was great.

 

[Phoenix]

Ouchy, Harrie. Well, look on the bright side. No matter what you do, second date's gonna be awesome!


Froggy, had a friend who was accused of EXACTLY the same thing. By his girlfriend's daughter. Turns out, she didn't like the fact that her mom and friend were dating. So, ya, as long as this person's got no evidence, and you got aliby, you got nothing to worry about!

Have a good day, all!

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Well, I took the kids to see Spiderman 3. They loved it. It was a great movie. Spending the day with my kids. This is a good day.

 

[Phoenix]

^ You know, I may only be 24, but I truly wish I could say the same thing . . .

Well, still gotta catch the Spidey. Sounds like it could be . . . interesting . . .

 

[Harrie]

I learned one thing today... Or rather yesterday... Never laugh really hard while eating doritos... You may end up trying to blow pieces of it out your nose, and getting them out... Well, let's just say it's not the most pleasant feeling in the world.

 

[EAS_Intrepid]

Yeah, I have returned, sort of...

I was a little inactive in the past weeks, due to many things happening at once. Starting from relationship over school work to political work (I have been elected to be part of the Student's Representative Committee of Berlin, thus making me one of the highest ranked students in Berlin and giving me an awful lot to do... Yep, HK, paperwork really sucks)

I read all the PMs and MSN messages sent, I was just too tired to respond. When you have 4 hours sleep within 3 days that might affect how awake you are...

Man, I am not a politician, how did I get into that mess?

 

[Harrie]

Paperwork is one reason i want to stay out of mainsteam politics...

Tonight I was sitting at church going over music for... well... when ever we figure out how to play it... anyways, there is this note that's WAY over the bar and I look at and I decide to go down to a spot I know and go up from there... Makes since right... Well, I started going up the scale E-F-G-H-I... Then I realized that there is no such thing as H or I notes...

Try Coke some time . . . my friends seem to absolutely DELIGHT in that one . . .


Intrepid, I got but one thing to say:

Those that seek power are never the right ones for the job. It's those that seek to be invisible, yet stand out above the rest, that are truly the leaders, for in them the people can put their trust amd know that they will always put the people in their's . . .
- Unknown.

So, if you have been put there, it must mean that someone thinks you're right for it. Which, in the long run, can only be a good thing. So, good luck, and I'd suggest a weekend's worth of sleep. Sound like you'll be needing it . . .




ps, I should be on leave from 4th June to 18th June, so my posts might be sporadic/non-existant for two weeks . . . .

 

[Harrie]

School is OUT!!! I am offically almost done with high school... All that's left is Graduation.

 

[Harrie]

Sorry for the double post, but.... yesterday was GRADUATION!!!!

 

[Jess]

Congrats Harrie!! It is a scary time but you are now entering a new and exciting chapter in your life! Good luck and best wishes!!

Today is our first day with power for a few days!! YAY! Lets hope it stays on!

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Most memorable thing for me. I found out that someone I made friends with a year ago has been lieing to me for months and was only playing me as a fool. For all the smarts that I am told I have. I did not see this coming. If only I would have listen to a few people. Then I could have avoided several problems that happened almost a year ago. For I found out it was all for nothing. So much for putting faith in others.

I know how that feels. I won't give any explicit examples for it would take to long to post it and lately I don't like typing a lot. Wow I gave a lousy excuse for that LoL.

Most memorable thing yesterday (since today is early for me and nothing's happened so far) was Amy talking to me on the phone, watching Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (again), getting our RPG going after three months of hiatus, and ALMOST playing a game online except there were some software issues and I had to settle for browsing the internet for more useless knowledge to add to my already overloaded bank of useless trivial knowledge. Being good at the internet is not always a good thing, but hey, when there's nothing else to do it's kinda okay I guess.

It was a good excuse. I am not worried. Alittle dumbfounded but good. I will just add them to the list of people who never believed in me or that I could accomplish anything. They have only made me want to succeed even more. Before I was content with just making sure I made enough to support me and my kids. Now I want to just blow it all out of the water and make more then ever dreamed. It has only added to the fire of my determination.

 

[Icewolf]

People can be little demons at times, that's all I really can say

This didn't happen today, but it's still in the same month; I was invited by my old high school friend to be her best man at her wedding next month o.0.

 

[Phoenix]

Hey, Wolfie . . . . Good luck with that! And remember . . . DON'T LOOSE THE RINGS!!!
ps, miss fireball-juggling you... Need to talk to Krause about doing it again . . .

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I realized today that I have a choice to make. My weekly schedule is difficult. I work 6 nights a week 12-7am. I also attend school 4 evenings a week. So, I have 40 hours a week for work and 40 hours a week for school. I end up having to spend alot of time catching everything else up. So, if I am lucky I get 2 hours sleep a day. Also, all my money goes towards gas for school and work. So, I end up not eating hardly ever. My health has begun to crash on me. I now must decide what to do. My choices are simple. I either drop school and use the time to work and sleep or hope that money shows up and I find a way to reduce my work schedule.

I have to work to afford school but I need to finish school to find better work. I have no idea what to do anymore.

 

[Harrie]

Those are some of the worst choices to have to make, not to belittle your plight but to brighten up the mood... today I was powerwashing the ceiling of a gazebo at work and got soaked, then when I went on break I was standing at a vending machine getting a Powerade when the son of the camp director (6 or 7 years old) walked up and patted the pocket of my jeans and with this really innocent look on his face looked up at me and said, "You pee'd your pants." then ran off with a freind.



It was great.

A problem many of us have CrazyFrog... there is no good answer here. When I worked at Wal-Mart from 10 pm-7 am I found that I couldn't concentrate on school the next day... I literally had to call Wal-Mart every other day to tell them I couldn't come in because I needed to sleep so I could pay attention in school... I'm at that point again unfortunatly, I work 2 pm - 11 pm Thurs-Mon as a customer service representitive for Verizon Wireless... It's decent money, but I still find myself unable to save for college which is why I wanted the job in the first place... too many other bills I have to pay and not enough hours in the day for sleep... For instance it's 4 am right now and I still can't get to sleep...

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Well, school is a thing of the past. Today I went and checked on apartments and put the deposit down for a 2 bedroom apartment. I will have enough by the first to pay a months rent. Then I only have to turn on the only bill. Electric.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Congrats mate, I can't even do that at the moment :x

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Thanks. Also, I found out last night that one of the others that used to work where I do decided to quit. I talked with my boss about merging their responsibilities with mine. It would make my night extremely busy but it would be 20 dollars shy of doubling my pay. That would give me more than enough to pay all my bills and have extra. Then I would not have to find any other work. I just love it when things just fall into place.
