I got gas in the morning before school. I had to take a lot of notes in economics. We had a test in Pre-Cal, I was upset at the questions that were on the test, as I felt they related to things we were never even taught. I came home for lunch today, as there was an NHS meeting, and I only had about 45 minutes for lunch. During tech-theater, Phedra Taylor, and Liz Lamphere came out on the deck where Shane Merchant, Craig and I were working on a platform. They wanted to ‘drool’ over us. Phedra is a strange person. Right after school, I went to the DPS to get my drivers licensee renewed. When I came home, Brian Gunn, and Adam, Craigs bother were working in the garage, I spent a good amount of time in there, watching them. Adam let me borrow his radar detector. We watched True Lies on Pay-Per-View. I was tired so I went in my room and laid down. Chris Rash, and Craig came in there after the movie and talked at my bedside. I fell asleep then. Not once today did I use my computer (except for the brief moment in the morning).

It was a very cold and rainy day today. We had a free day in Economics. I only got an 85 on that Pre-Cal test. We took a cheesy UIL test that dealt with Pascal in Computer Science. We started to learn about female reproduction in BIO. Mrs. Ramos told me that she was disappointed that I never turned in a lab. I honestly don’t recall being assigned that work, but I still feel bad that she was disappointed. We analyzed poems in English. In Tech-Theater, Craig and I painted the platforms we built yesterday. While we were painting, Craig told Kim Gurkin that she should have a ‘crush’ on me. That was ironic, as I have somewhat of a crush on her. I got a Haircut on my way home from school. I played Sojourn some, I moved up to level 21.7.
It was cold again in the early part of the day. I did 6 current events in Economics, and received a letter from Kim Gurkin during first period saying that she wanted to know if I was interested in her or not. I sent one back asking how she felt. In computer science I played Wolfenstein 3D, an old game by Appoge. For further reference, to get into god mode, you must execute the game with WOLF3D/goobers then when your playing, hit TAB-LEFTSHIFT-ALT-BACKSPACE at the same time to get into debug mode, and TAB-G at the same time for god mode, and TAB-I for items. To get items you can also hit M-I-L at the same time. In Biology II we learned more about the reproductive system. I asked in a private note that everyone sent up to the teacher if AIDS can be contracted through Oral Sex. She (Mrs. Ramos) said ‘probably not’ but she also said that she thinks it might anyway. In English we had a substitute, Mr. Garo, another foreign language teacher. We didn’t do anything interesting in class, we just slacked off. When I got to Tech-Theater, I felt strange, because Kim was in there, and I had sent that letter to her, and I didn’t know how she felt. I avoided her, and talked to Mr. Buchanan. Mr. Buchanan was telling me about that new magnet school there starting, the ‘Communications Arts High School’. He will no longer be in the theater department. Things will defiantly be VERY different, and I feel extremely lucky to have been in his last class there. I was in the production of only one play: ‘Lend me a Tenor’ It was one of the most exiting and wonder experiences I have ever had, to be apart of that team putting it together, and making it all work. Even though I had a very, VERY minor part (bringing down the lights in 2 parts) It was still a great feeling. My only regret is not getting into Theater earlier, well perhaps not, as I would be different, and I don’t know if I would want to be like those people. Anyway, after talking to Mr. Buchanan (a very wonderful teacher whom I am very honored to have been a student of), Kim handed me a note saying that she DID have an interest in me, and had for some time. I felt great. I almost knew. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I aced like a buffoon and walked around, avoiding her. I then wrote down my phone number on a piece of paper with a green marker. I gave it to her after class. She kind of smiled at me and looked into my eyes. I think I could almost read her thoughts. I tried to avoid her gaze. She said that she would try to call me on Saturday. She is going to go to a Theater festival at Holmes HS. She will be home on Saturday. I am anxiously awaiting her call. I gave Chris Rash a ride home, as he still has NOT gotten his parking sticker. He told me that he is going out With Adrian Jakely (sp?) tonight and thinks that they will have a wonderful time. When I got home, Adam Bedwell, and Brian Gunn were sitting in the kitchen, they wanted to go to Diversions so we could play Daytona 400, a very nice, 4 token racing-car game. When Craig and Jessica got home, we all went. I beat Brian, Adam beat me, and I beat Craig. Diversions is a VERY loud place, I got a headache after we left from all the noise. When we got back, Craig, Jessica and I went to go dump the brush that we collected from that guys yard. Craig assured me that I would not have to change, well he was wrong, I got my jeans all dirty. We went to T-shirt’s for dinner. After that, we went to planet-K so Adam and Brian could buy some Jolt.
Craig woke me up at 8:00am this morning, as we were supposed to work. We left to go get Chris, and then went out off of 1604 to a rural subdivision. We moved furniture for him. He was moving out of that big house because his wife had committed suicide. We each got paid $40. Right after that, we went to the bank, and then lunch at House of Joy. I had shredded pork with hot garlic sauce. When we came back, Chris went to sleep on my bed, and I started to play Sojourn. I got up to level 22. Craig came in and told me that he was going to break up with Jessica tonight. I hope he does. Craig, Adam, and Brian went to his Dads ranch. Chris went home. I stayed here to wait for Kim to call. Kim called, we talked for a long time. I hope things went well.
I felt sick today. My throat is dry and I need fluids to keep it nice. We watched a video in Economics while I did my pre-cal and Wrote a reply to Kim. Mr. Mangum really got mad at us for talking while he was lecturing today in class. I was very surprised. In Computer Science, we did nothing as usual. I ate a whole box of Sanomas girl scout cookies. After eating them I felt very sick. I went home for senior lunch because I felt really bad. After fifth I saw Kim, she gave me a note. I followed her to Tech. Theater. In Tech. we had a substitute. I spent some time with Kim, but I am not sure how to act, or I am not sure exactly how she feels, I need to find this out tomorrow. I think I have mixed feelings. My throat is very dry. Right now it is 9:48 PM (With Notepad in Win95, you can hit F5 to display the time and date).
It has been a VERY long time since I have written in here.. I feel bad about that. I will start with my Ski trip.
We left at abut 3:00pm on Thursday, March 16th. Chris was griping and complaining about his back. I almost felt that he was faking it, but I guess it was genuine pain. We drove all night and arrived at about 3:30am on March 17th. We checked into the room. The sleeping arrangement was in one bed, Chris and I, and in the other bed, Craig, Adam and Carol. We woke up the next day, rented skis, boot, and ate breakfast. Chris and I took a full day skiing lesson. I honestly didn’t feel that I learned very much. That evening we ate dinner. Everything there was extremely expensive. I feel very bad that I didn’t pay for ANYTHING. I am going to write Carol a very long thank-you letter tomorrow. The ski resort was very large, at about 9,500 feet high. The resort was right on the slopes. Everything was expensive and ‘nice’. The second day, Chris, Adam, Craig, and I went skiing together. We started on a green circle. Since I didn’t really learn anything, I did not know how to stop or turn, two very important parts of skiing. As a result, I crashed a lot, and became very depressed. I was about to give up when Craig showed me how to turn and stop. I tried it and got good at it after a while. By the end of the day, I was skiing very well, and almost going full-parallel-skiing. The third day (Sunday) we went on mostly blue squares, and three black diamond slopes. The black diamond sloped have mogul, these large ‘bumps’ that are very hard to ski. You must go very slow, turning all the time, It is just a pain. Its not that I’m afraid of them, but they just aren’t fun for me. By the end of that day, I felt that I was a pretty good skiier, and was hockey-stopping, and parallel skiing. The drive back was long and I slept a long ways of it.
When we got back from skiing, there was a message for me that grandpa was in ‘very bad condition’. I didn’t want to call mom and dad at 4am, so I went to sleep. The next day, after trying to call mom and dad at home I called Larry, and he told me that grandpa had a stroke. Dad called right after that and told me that he was driving into town. He was going to roll in on Thursday I think. He came into town and we visited Grandpa in the hospital. That day we visited him he was in critical condition in the intensive care unit. He was moved to a less severe room after that. Grandma said that Dad being there really helped. On Saturday morning, I went to Grandmas to spread all of the dirt in the back of Grandpas truck. After that I went home and waited for Larry to call. While I was waiting, I was pestering Brian while he was trying to fix the truck (replacing all of the spark plugs and wires from the distributor cap. Larry called and came over. We went to the hospital to visit Grandpa. After we visited him, we went to Bookstop and Blockbuster Music. At blockbuster music I got Power Windows by Rush. We went to Wall Mart and we both got The Best of New Order. Larry came over and stayed till about 12:40am. Today, March 26th, Larry and I went to the hospital with Grandma. After that we went to the mall where he got some socks and a CD. After that we went to Golden Wok to have Lunch. I came home and didn’t do very much.
Kim is the last thing I need to talk about. From where I left off on March 5th, things have progressed very much, we have talked on the phone a lot. We both have expressed how much we care about each other, and she said that she wants to be with me so I can hold her and be with her. I feel the same way. We have only gone out once, and that was to dinner way over by Lackland AFB with her parents. The only bad thing about this whole relationship is that her parents are very protective, and wont let her go out. Last night, on Saturday, we talked on the phone till about 4:30am. The conversation got very intimate and we were both saying only how we wanted to be together. He also talked about the future, about when I graduate and decided that we will just let things take its course and make the most of this relationship. As the conversation was approaching a conclusion, I was extremely exited physically, and so was Kim, by what she was telling me, about how I was turning her on. I am almost afraid what will happen if we take this further over the phone, or if were alone together. At the end of the conversation, she said something like “I really want you right now”. In a tone that meant that she wants to have sex. I felt the same. Its a great feeling. My whole life has been happy since we have been talking. I only hope we can have more physical contact instead of always talking on the phone. I honestly really do care for her.
I didn’t go to sleep until about 3:30am. I was on Sojourn for all of that time as they had made a lot of new changes. I never even started my English paper. I will do that tonight. I listened to Banamorama on the way to school today, its some very good ’80’s music. I saw Kim right before first period. She gave me a sticker with cats on it and it said “Miss You”. We hugged right before she left. I wrote a letter to her in Economics. We were watching Its a Wonderful Life. My average in there is an 81. In Pre-Cal, I got my test back; I originally thought that I failed it, but I didn’t, I got an 80. We learned about Matrices in there, it was extremely easy. In Computer Science I bought a bag of Skittles from Craig and ate them all. I was watching Mark Watson’s additions to his game, it looks like its coming along quite nicely. Jordan Jeftwa’s (sp?) game was a lot like WolfenStein, except it was very slow and there wasn’t nearly the detail. I decided that I’m going to write a grading-type program that UTSA students are assigned at the end of their semester. I have two weeks to write it. In Biology we started reviewing the reproductive system of a flower, it was very boring. In English all I did was respond to a poem and an article about Forest Gump. Right after English I met Kim and we walked to Tech Theater. Mr. Buchanan wasn’t in class today, so we could pretty much just slack off. I was out on the deck, and was sitting next to Kim. Craig called me up and asked me to go to the loft. We talked about him and Laura. Then, the substitute called us down and told us that we needed a note form the attendance office, as he thought we might have just skipped on that Friday. We went to the attendance office to get the note and the lady there thought that we were truant. We went back to class, and I sat down next to Kim on the deck. Kim and I started to hold hands. She started caressing my arm, and it felt very good. We sat there the rest of class, and when the bell rang and everyone left, we stood up and hugged for a long time. We were holding hands the rest of the time until we were outside and she had to wait for the bus. I asked her if she wanted a ride home but she didn’t want one. I went straight to JC Pennies in Ingram mall to exchange the shoes that Carol picked up for me. They felt a little big, but I think they will be alight (Size 12). Right after that, I went to the post office to mail off that package for Larry. They charged $4.00, I need to get Larry to pay me back.
I listened to Banamorama on the way to school. I saw Kim just before Economics. I did my pre-calculus in Economics. We finished watching Its a Wonderful Life today. In Pre-Cal, we just learned more matrix stuff. I brought in a bunch of old games from the ’80s like Phantasia III, The Ancient art of War, and Wheel of Fortune. I diskedited Phantasia and had a cool party. I blew off that class period. I can’t keep doing that as I NEED to finish the six-weeks project. Oliver and I went to Subway on Bandera rd. for lunch, I had a Steak and Cheese with four strips of bacon. The total cost was only $0.96 as the guy (who was also new on the job) neglected to charge me for the bacon. The price was also very low as I had the coupon (Sub Club Book) for a free footlong sub. In Biology we had an extra-credit lab. I FORGOT to go to Stacy’s house today after school at 6:30pm. I can’t believe I forgot. I just now remembered (10:33pm). I feel very bad, I don’t know why I forgot, I wasn’t doing anything important, I just forgot. In English we had a book check and Mrs. McAndrew found my book for me. We have a test in English on Friday, I need to study those poems that the test will cover. I didn’t do much in Tech-Theater, and couldn’t really spend any time with Kim. Kim and I walked to my car after school, and stood there about 10 minutes almost just hugging and embracing each other. A strange girl came up and asked for a lift home, Since she lives in Sterling Oaks (I like there too (at Craigs house)) I agreed. She was a very sad case, she smokes three packs of cigarette a day, was caught with pot. She was very revolting. When I came home, Craig wasn’t here, he was at a nursery with Brian picking up some marigolds. Craig left to go to UTSA to watch Laura (his girlfriend) sing in a concert. Larry had called and left a message about receiving his Socks in the mail, he thought the box was funny, as I had put “Do not destroy” and “Please do not store in fire” on the sides. He will be leaving for France very soon. I hope he has a safe and happy trip. He is extremely lucky to be able to go over there for two weeks and visit. To be in Paris for two weeks must be a wonderful thing. I was thinking about Larry today, I admire him so very much because he seems so successful and perfect. I guess I could say that I idolize him and try to be as well off as he is. I didn’t do much today except play on Sojourn, and use the computer. Kim called at about 9:40. She couldn’t talk that long, but she was exited about Friday (when we go see Phantom of the Opera. She was also telling me how she wants me to be with her alone and how it would feel nice with my hands on her back and waist. I think it was be very blissful to be with her. I’ll probably go to sleep early today. I need to figure out what is wrong with Windows for some reason when typing on the keyboard, it will beep and not accept that character. I think its a bug with this bootup and rebooting will fix it.
