aimee's little brother adam is so afraid of me. it was his birthday last weekend, so i'm tryin to give him birthday punches. i gave him 6 at lunch, then he yelled at me to stop, so i stopped, but i told him he'd get em all eventually. every time he sees me now, he literally runs down the hall until he can't see me anymore. man what a spaz.

after school i was walkin around lookin for clubs to take pictures of. i gotta take 27 pictures by friday, but there don't seem to be any clubs meeting. anyways, nathan and sonya had nuttin to do, so they walked around with me. when adam saw me and ran away, i said "that kid is the biggest spaz" and sonya goes "he's aimee's brother, what do you expect?" so i looked at her and said "what's that supposed to mean?" that shut her up.

in study hall, aimee had a barrel of monkeys. i would just like to say that i linked all sixteen. hell yeah, i rule.

man, i'm bored. i guess i could be studying for SATII chemistry, but i already did a chapter today. i wish i could drive. home. right about now. crap i have 45 minutes left.

nothin beats breakfast at bickfords

mr wass's room has a window with blinds. me and adam were shovin each other in front of them, then he pushed me wicked hard, but one of the loops to work the blinds had somehow fallen around my neck, stopping me abruptly by my throat. that hurt. a lot.

we had an assembly about the recent terrorism today. all those who wished to go up on stage and talk were welcome to. the only problem was that tons of 7th graders went up and said the exact same thing. (when i first heard about it... i felt bad... scared... i'm sorry to all those who were hurt... etc...) there's nothing wrong with what they said, but it was so redundant. a few people said some interesting things though. this one kid proclaimed himself to be a hardcore anarchist punk, and graham quoted song lyrics. nevermind, no he didn't. corey stood up there for three minutes without saying anything, then said "that best sums up the events" and walked off stage.

weezer rules.

How can people be so... closemindedviolentcrazy? I mean, that guy is calling for an the systematic imprisonment/eradication of muslims from the United States.

I am as equally apalled, if not more so.

heh russ, you're so funny.

nat says that more buildings collapsed. hmm. suck.

today was the day of the bike jump. after school corey, ed, me, ben, and adam went down to the pond with ed's 5-foot launch ramp, where we proceeded to hurl ourselves through the air. each jump could easily have been 15 feet high and 10-20 feet out. this kid billy was also there, and even though he doesn't bike, he was able to throw down a superman seat grab. corey did a buncha backflips and also a superman frontflip dismount. ed did so many things i can't even name. me, i just jumped as high as i could and threw the bike. but it was FUN. good thing we taped it all. pictures and possibly videos coming soon.

then i went for some more driving time. i'm a good driver. yup.

at drivers ed, during break, i went out for a quick session. soon enough, 3 BMXers came along and started showin me up, peg grinding the gratuitously waxed curb and manualing across the parking lot. oh well, at least i finally nailed ollieing the sand gap behind the laundromat, even if i ripped up my arm in the process. it's still bleeding. mmm...

time to start my jane eyre essay. it's due tomorrow. argh.

i can't believe it, it's like a movie or something. it's one of those things you know happened, but didn't really. it's like fiction on the news. but i know it's real, and that's scary.

i don't know what to think. i don't know what's going to happen now. are we about to go into world war 3? or is this the start of the gradual decline of the united states? what if we never find out who did anything, and are therefore unable to retalliate? then many more terrorist organizations would see us as weak and take advantage of our inability to defend ourselves by striking more frequently.

and what's gonna happen to the country's - and the world's - financial situation? the commodities market has been destroyed and financial districts all over the nation have screeched to a halt. there isn't a single commercial airplane flying over the US right now, which is unprecedented, at any given moment there's like 4000. so many things have changed in just a few hours, and so many things will change now that this has happened.

this is so hard to grasp.

unfuckingbelievable.

this has been the biggest attack on the united states ever. i don't think there's any way there could've been less casualties in new york and dc today than there were at pearl harbor. i'm seriously concerned about the fate of our nation.
