Sorry for not posting in such a long time. Not all that much has happened lately. But I figure I should post in order to procrastinate from this dreaded English essay I have to write.

I’m going to start off my announcing that I am working on a new look for the site. I’ve already grown bored with this one, and I want a theme that can be seen (the way it’s supposed to be) in all browsers, and not just Firefox. I took a screenshot of how it’s coming along so far, and here it is (click to enlarge):

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to create this website (I’m using tables this time to help things stay organized and in place). The design (especially the header) is somewhat inspired by Facebook’s header, but because Dreamweaver has some problems with row-height in a table, right now the header, footer, and post title row all look way taller than they are supposed to be.

Next up is the past week. This last school week, we had a normal day Monday, and a normal Tuesday. But the rest of the week was filled with a huge snow blizzard, closing school for the rest of the week. So we had a 5 day weekend, and today is the last day of that, which disappoints me.

My dad’s birthday is this Thursday, and I know what he’s getting as a gift, and I guarantee he’s going to love it!

Right now I’m trying to sell my snowboard and boots on Craigslist for money so I can finish buying Christmas gifts for people, but nobody’s showing any interesting at all. So I’m probably just going to sell it cheap to my parents or something so I can get the money quickly. Money isn’t really something I’m too interesting in right now, as long as I can get enough to buy the rest of the presents I plan on buying.

During the first 3 days of our 5 day weekend, I begun them by playing Fallout 3 for around 7 hours each day. I am kind of hooked to that game right now, so I also had it installed to my computer, and I’ve been playing it when I’m bored, too.

That’s really it. I told you there’s not much going on right now…

So in the past week, lots has happened, obviously.

I’ll start out on the whole ordeal with Exams. I have received the grades for all of the except for Conceptual Physics, which was the only class I had to study hard for. I’m pretty nervous about what I’ll get on it. Here’s my final grades on everything (remember, Conceptual Physics is not the final grade). This is for the first trimester of school.

Those are my final grades including the exams (excluding Physics). I thought I did pretty well this trimester. Next tri (starts Monday) I have Web Design (with my older sister, lol), Advanced PE (again), General Art (required, also so I can take Graphic Design my Junior/Senior year),  Algebra 2 (again), and finally, Honors English 10. The schedule is really simple except for English. I’ve been dreading it since I signed up for it last year. I was assigned homework over the summer, and I have to finish it this weekend (It’s not bad, but still…homework during the summer!?). So hopefully I’ll start that later tonight, or work on it for most of Sunday. That conclude the school-related section of this post.

Next up is Thanksgiving. My parents let me bring Lindsay down to Indiana and Ohio to meet the grandparents, aunts, and uncles.  Everything went pretty well, they all liked her a lot I went driving for a bit on the freeway, and I “almost hit a car” even though I knew exactly what I was doing, I was just a bit flabbergasted. We were going down the freeway at around 65-70mph, and the car in front of me starts braking, and that’s what throws me off. Then the car comes to almost a dead stop and begins turning. I’m still thrown off so I start stopping, too, then I turn to the side and I begin accelerating once I turned enough. All the while my dad is yelling at me for almost hitting them. Then the people behind me start passing me while I’m basically in the passing lane, myself. I dunno, it was all fine until my dad started yelling. Oh well, we learn from experience. This ends the Thanksgiving portion of the post.

Next up is today. Today I went and saw Fantastic Mr. Fox with my dad while my mom and little sister went and saw Twilight: New Moon. We had some time to kill before Mr. Fox started, so my dad and I went to the Nextel/Sprint store across the parking lot. I’ve been asking to go for awhile to check out the Palm Pre (because that’s the main item on my Christmas list). I want it because my current phone is really old, junky, and it’s falling apart very quickly. Anyway, the phone wasn’t activated, so all my dad and I could really do was touch the screen while it tried to automatically activate itself and slide the phone open. I always heard complaints about how the keyboard was too tiny, but I didn’t find a problem with it. It’s actually quite nice, to be honest. I’m hoping to soon go to a different Sprint store (there’s one about 5 minutes from home) that hopefully has an activated Palm Pre so I can experience the phone’s Web OS.

Happy Halloween! I’m not quite sure if I’m going trick or treating tonight, though. My plans with Lindsay sort of fell through the floor when her friend suggested they just go alone so they could hang out, which is fine with me. I can always just walk down my street, they like to give nice candy. My only issue is that I don’t know what to do for a costume on such short notice. Oh well, maybe I just won’t go.

Yesterday, school went all right. It was just an average day. After school I stayed after and helped Lindsay with a school project of hers, and I also finished all of my homework from Friday, so I have nothing to do this weekend! After that, at around 4:15, her dad came and picked us up, and we went to her house. I stayed until around 11:30 and then went home. So yeah, that’s basically all that’s happened lately.

E: So yeah…I’m not going trick or treating tonight. This will be the first time in my life I’m not doing it.
This is really lame.

E2: So yeah…I ended up going trick or treating. I made up a costume at the last second.
If you’re curious, I was a slutty cheerleader.
