My first entry into my journal.
Its been a very long time, but I have finally begun to write in this. Today was an average day, as usual, I presented my topic (Data in object (C++)) in computer science. I went to pizza hut for lunch today, it wasn’t that fun.
I wouldn’t have started to write in this, but a comment made by Kim Gurkin in tech-theater made me realize that a journal is very important to keep. Kim related to me an even 1 year ago when she met me, she wrote about it in her Journal.
I made level 19 in sojourn.. After over 2 weeks of playing, I finally made that level, I now have SOME hope. Segmentation Fault has lost some of its glimmer, everyone is bent on pkilling, and that is not for me, So I will most likely wait for Arctic and see how that is, I will probably stay with Sojourn Though.
Craig and Jessica had some of their Lit. Magazine friends over to de-throne 350 roses. I was asked to help, but got out of it.
My parents sent the $1500 to get my car fixed, I will do that tomorrow. I was supposed to write that English paper, but I didn’t. I was also supposed to clean my room, but I didn’t. Sigh. ohwell. I’m going to bed now.

Its my 18th birthday. My car is in the shop, I put it in there yesterday. I drove the truck that Craig and I work in to school today.
The day was very muggy and humid. It was oppressive. I went out to eat at ‘Ports o Call’ with mom-mom and pop-pop. They gave me a card with $20 in it. Mom and Dad called to wish me a happy birthday, and so did Larry. Larry will be coming into town this weekend.
I played Sojourn till 4am, Sioul, a bard was charming things, and we were trying new things out.

I’ve been very neglectful and lazy with this, I need to shape up. I got my car fixed (side impact from a Ford Probe, $1516 worth of damage) and picked it up yesterday (02-27-95). I got gas in the car today, went to school, and got all the financial forms I will ever need. I got a low grade on my economics test mainly because I didn’t read the directions on one part and missed all of them. Mr. Mangum (Pre-Cal student-teacher) got kind of mad at me today for playing around in class. We only got 31 out of 40 in that state competition for the computer contest we went to on Saturday (02-25-94) (Craig, Mark Watson, Chris, and I). I was assigned a programming assignment in comp. sci. to make a game in C++. I went to lunch with Sommer Bender, Paul, and Jason Bair to McDonalds. I did very, very bad on my Evolution BIO test, but then again, I didn’t even study for it. I helped Shane Merchant and Craig build stuff in Tech. Theater. On my way home, I stopped to get a Hair-Cut, but my car was acting up (battery connections were corroded) I came home, and Chris helped me clean it (Brillo Pad and Sprite). Chris and I were hauling brush from across the street @ the neighbors house. Craig was inside with Jessica doing what they always do in the shower. When Chris and I were about half done, Craig came out and started to help. Chris and I were upset as he was inside playing with Jessica when we were working and he then comes out much later. Carol made a LOT of blueberry biscuits with candles in them for a birthday celebration for me. I wasn’t expecting that. After Dinner, Brian Gunn and I went to Best Buy to buy some CD’s and Disks for Dick Fochler. I got Rush: “Signals”, Pet Shop Boys: “very”, and U2: “Zooropa”. I was very pleased at the prices, $8.99, and $11.99. We came back, and I got on Sojourn, I grouped with Tharn and Navis killing Dwarven warriors, and Dwarven palace-guards.
