So, I actually meant to blog on Friday night, but... I didn't for some reason that I can't recall at the moment.

Anyway. We had made plans to go to Schroeder's house on Friday to watch two movies... Originally, it was one, but (I think it was Amber) someone mentioned that we also watch The Princess Bride...The first movie was this weird trippy ninties movie called The Thief and the Cobbler or something like that...

...it was trippy. I don't remember much of it, but it was amusing, and trippy.... with old animation. Yeah. It was alright though... Dunno if I'd personally want to watch it again.

After we finished the first movie, we went upstairs to make milkshakes... Well, Schroeder made milkshakes while me, Amber, Amy and Stephu waited for them. While we waited, we chatted a bit, and I alluded to someone (My friend hear me talk about that guy enough, so whenever I can, I try avoiding using his name...) and Amy kind of gave me this look and said, "I know that face..." in something of a scrutinzing tone.

I giving her a look  that was probably kind of freaked out-slash disturbed, not knowing what in the world she was talking about, which is completely true.... Then she said in this low, slightly enlightened sounding voice, "It's Weninger."

...At this point, I wasn't so surprised she figured out who I was talking about. I was more stunned that I, apparently, have a distinct expression on my face when I talk about him.

Now tell me that THAT isn't pathetic.

Anyway, from there she goes on to say, "...you're blushing!' There's a little red here." Then she went to elaborate where the red was was using her cheek.

That really... freaked me out. Really. I don't think I blush very often... Or if I do, no one tells me. So, I started backing away from Amy with a really freaked out look on my face... Cuz... well... yeah. I mean, I knew WHY I would've been blushing... But yeah.

...after the milkshakes were done we went and started The Princess Bride, which was pretty interesting, though I looked away during every kissing scene and grimaced at the mention of true love. :D Half way through we went to pick up Schroeder's older sister who was coming in on a plane, but first we had to take Stephu home because she wasn't feeling very good.

We helped Erica load all her baggage into the van (everyone had their own bag) and she said, "Thank you, slave labor!" or something like that... Then we returned to Schroeder's house and finished The Princess Bride and went home.

I ended up staying up late talking to someone on MSN, which wasn't very smart because I had to get up early on Saturday to go with my mom for volunteer... training. Turns out I'm a bit too young for the actual thing, but... yeah. During our first break, one of the women came up to me while I was pouring some coffee and told me that I really should consider helping (this is hospice volunteers) because an increasing number of paitents are around my age...

The training ended earlier than expected and we went home... Though I asked to stop at Best Buy to look at some stuff, however we weren't in the store very long because my mom hated the way it smelled... So much so that she actually tried going out the wrong door.

Later on, I called Amber (who had called during the training), who ended up coming and sleeping over. Before she came though, Shaun told me to make sure I fed her... Like I was going to starve her. ; 3; I tend not to ask people to come over usually... Usually because we have no food in my house. But when people come over I feed them! D:

Anyway, when she got her, I showed her some stuff on the computer, went upstairs and played with my ouija board, came back downstairs to eat, watched some videos on youtube, played with ouija board more and then went to sleep. Then this morning I was dead, then we came downstairs and ate, went back upstairs, started watching Spiderman, came back downstairs (did we eat moar?) watched moar Spiderman, then she went home... We had lotsa fun with the ouija board... I think we summoned many spirits (a bunch of them did not like us...) and asked many questions over and over...

...so we may end up cursed, but it was fun. :D

So, yesterday I went to another STEM meeting and it was a rec center so there wasn't any computer usage this time. I saw the new friend I made last time, but she was sitting up at the front so I couldn't talk to her... When we separated into groups we had to think up a cheer, which was kinda hard, and ours was really lame, but... oh well. During the presentations me and the girl talked some and I told her, ashamed, that I didn't remember her name. She told me not to feel bad cuz she didn't remember mine, so we exchanged names. So now I know, her name is Lily. And she also told me that a little while before presentations another boy that I recognized, Roberto, had asked her out. She didn't tell me what she was going to tell him, but from the way she acted I think she was gonna tell him no.  

Afterwards, Mr. Rutledge asked me about my high school major... There is no such thing but I told him I was taking mostly language classes, then he asked what languages I'm taking, and I told him Chinese and French. Then he asked if I could teacher the students, which is possible... But it has nothing to do with the STEM principles.

When my mom picked me up we went to the Meadows Mall and got some new shirts for the party we were going to. I gots a white shite and a black vest. :D Then we went to the Palms for the party. It was for the little one's basketball awards and Shaun was the one hosting at the Palms, so it was pretty cool. One of the parents remarked that "even high school banquets aren't as nice as this." One of Shaun's coworkers talked to me before the party started and told me how his son, Adrien, was in Key Club and how I should join and such. I might. But yeah. Adrien was also apparently having a birthday party that night (last night too), so yeah.

When the children all arrived and had food, read cake, they started going nuts and I filmed the insanity. Future blackmail I say. HAHAHA. Anyway, there was a bunch of leftover food so we took some home. When we got home we were there for a little bit then went to Adrien's party, and... yeah. I didn't  really know anyone so I didn't really interact with anyone...

...but I ate some good food, lol. ^^;;

He was, as he usually is, a bit confused, and then he started counting his bag's contents, eventually telling me, "Three dollars."

I reached into my backpack and fished out my wallet. Then, I dug around in it, and pulled out three dollars, Tyler, obviously surprised by this asked, "You're buying all of it?"

I don't know how I did it, but I told him that I was, and gave him the three dollars for the six bags of fruit snacks. At one point, Mrs. Zentz asked if there were going to be announcements and I said it was the start of the bad luck... Then Tyler mentioned he had forgotten it was the thirteenth and that he had found a five dollar bill on the way to school. Third period rolled around one class assignment and one firedrill later and, Joey, as usual, mentioned something about being hungry... I pulled out one bag of fruit snacks. Andrew saw this one, and kind of gave me an odd look... I threw another bag in his direction. Then, some kid, Camreon Hardy, came in and asked Andrew for some... He didn't know I had them.... Joey, then gave me half his bag of fruit snacks... He didn't want them. I was going to keep them and eat them, but Andrew asked for them... Since I had four more bags in my backpack, I gave them to him... Though I think I pulled out one of them to eat.

At lunch was when I planned to do my ice cream thing... Though first I went to get a soda... But the machine magically turned off, and I also found the price of soda had been raised by a quarter... To many kids' dismay. Finding that I would probably not get a soda, I went back inside to buy ice cream... Originally, I was going to buy soley ice cream sandwiches and distribute them... Then I thought of Amy and Stephu, the latter had asked if I was going to eat lunch with them... The truth was... that I wasn't... So I went back to the table (I had left my stuff there) and asked them what they wanted: strawberry short cake bars... Then I went back to the line (because I had gone there before I went to ask Stephu and Amy what they wanted) and asked the girl behind the window for the two strawberry short cake bars first... Then I asked for four ice cream sandwiches... My total first came out to $4.50... But I didn't feel like I had enough, so I bought two more, ending up with eight ice cream items in all. The girl behind the window asked if I needed any help. I didn't want any and told her I could carry them all myself... Which I did. First, I returned to the table and gave Stephu and Amy their ice cream... Stephu, upon seeing the other six ice cream sandwiches asked me where they were going... I told her I didn't know where.

My first stop outside was to see Tucker. The day before I had told him of my plan and he asked if he was going to get one... I told him he would... and get one he did. Then, I went to go do... voting... Truthfully, I had never voted for student council before, so I was kind of... confused. But, the girl gave me a ballot and I went in the gym to fill it out... The teacher who is in charge of student council saw the ice cream and she and some other kid were having a discussion on whether or not it was ice cream while I asked one of the kids what to do... Another girl who was surveying the voters spied my ice cream and asked if I were willing to share. I was, so I gave her one without another word and headed out. From there, I went to find Alex Porter... I remember him always asking for a dollar, so I thought that maybe he'd like an ice cream sandwich... When I found him, I also found that in my direct walking path was Tyler hanging with some of his friends. Honestly, I didn't want to walk past him, but I knew that I would probably have to. Alex saw me with the ice cream sandwiches and called me out... I threw him one and prepared to walk on... Then Kyle Overlay saw me and called me out too. I threw him one as well...Though he seemed more surprised than happy. It was then that their group of friends, all containing people I recognized started complaining because Kyle already had a candy bar... So, I threw another, this time Steven Porter being the one who got it, then another kid complained about "the Jew getting one" so I threw on more bar... My last one. I didn't know who got it, but I started to walk back towards the gym, but Kyle called me out again.

He held up the bar with an inquisitve look on his face... He obviously seemed to feel bad for taking it, especially since I threw the rest of my bars at them, but I told him that I only bought them to give them away before I left... I left and a bunch of them yelled after me, "Happy Valentine's Day!" to which I saluted to as I walked away. From there, I went back to where the voting for student concil was... In the middle of the tables was a big box for donations. I didn't have that much left, and I wanted to have at least a little money, so I donated only a dollar... But both of the girls who were with the box commented on how nice a person I was... I guess not many other people were donating. They gave me a lolipop each and offered me another piece of candy from a basket... I took a Laffy Taffy... Then, I started to head back towards the lunch room, and I shook my wallet a little... And my cards fell out... But it was okay. I picked them all up and returned to the lunch room.

There, I gave Amy and Stephu the two lolipops... I'm not big on lolipops in the first place. Then, I went to my seat, and started counting my money... The soda machine seemed to be back in order and I had enough for a soda, so I went back outside and got in the soda line... The boy in front of me in line was disdained to find that he didn't have enough money for a soda since the price had gone up... He tried to get his money back and he tried to make a selection... But there was no use. He didn't have enough. I had a dollar in quarters and I didn't need them all so I tapped him on the shoulder and held one up... He didn't notice, and his friends had to get his attention so he could turn around and take the quarter... Then, I went up and tried to get a Sierra Mist... But ended up with a Mountain Dew... I don't like them very much, but at the time I was thankful for something to drink... After that I had only fifty cents remaining, I probably could've saved it, but I went back to the donation box and quickly dropped it in, hoping to get away before the girls could offer me candy again... I made it to the first steps in the quad before one of them ran up to me with the candy basket in hand. She told me that I should take one, but I told her that I already got candy. She insisted that everyone who donated should get candy, and so I decided I'd take another Laffy Taffy...

When I got back to the lunch room I went and grabbed my stuff before heading to the classrooms... Eventually, Mr. Adams came and let me and the other guy in. I took my seat and asked Mr. Adams if Dr. Pepper was his coffee, which he said it was. Then he left the room to probably go to the bathroom and I sat in my seat... The girl who used to sit in the back of my row sat down in the seat in front of me... I didn't really know her, I knew her name though... She looked back at me, and asked how I was doing.. I don't remember what I said, or if I even responded to her, but she then told me that I always looked like I was sad.... I think that it's probably because of everything that's happened these past few weeks... But what she said made me feel happy... I always liked to think I could put on a brave face... I've known for a while, though, that I'm very bad at it.... Anyway, those few words made me happy because she, at least, seemed concerned and it was really nice of her to ask.

We had some speaker in math and didn't get around to doing our quiz... It was for some STEM thing... I don't know if I'd be any help in it, but I want to help people, so I signed up. I'm sure that, at the very least, it will be a learning experience.

During sixth period, I gave the rest of the fruit snacks away. First to Simon because I had promised him the day before... The girl who sits next to him asked him for it because she was hungry and I gave her another bag... I didn't want to leave the final girl, Caitlin out, so I gave her a bag too.... The final bag I gave to a girl named Jordan who I heard complaining about being hungry... I pulled out that bag and ran over to her desk, slamming it down before before retreating back to my desk...

Since mom was picking the little one up I had to walk home... It was okay though, my music managed to last me until I got to the door, went out exactly as I was pulling my keys from my backpack... On the way up the hill, though, there was some kid who looked familiar walking at an even pace up the hill... He seemed to, at one point, look back and he started walking a little slower... Or at least it seemed that way to me, but I think I also sped up because I wanted to say hi to him. He kind of swaggered about and, I think at one point, spit into the... wall thing by the sidewalk. Eventually, I caught up to him, and it was who I thought it was... It was Mininger. For about a few seconds or so we were walking side by side and he said, with a smile on his face, "Hey."

I returned the greeting with one of my own. I'm not too sure what it was though... I moved ahead of him a little and pointed at his chest and said something about his heart (student council had put the names of all the students on hearts and hung them around the school halls). I think I asked, "So you found your heart?" but I'm not sure... He responded, I think, and I continued on, singing very badly, lol... Though he didn't have to say hi to me, especially since Tyler and I are now separted, he did, and it made me happy, just like when that girl, Angelica, had told me that I always looked sad.

As I continued home I began to think of the things that had made me happy today.... My friends had sent me carnation things and some candy... I knew that at least three of them would, but I didn't expect Amy and Amber to... Then, Kyle Overlay's concern with taking the ice cream sandwich... What Angelica said, what Mininger did... It all made me happy, at least a little bit. Then I thought back to what Aaron had said in that AIM conversation when I asked about using people... Though what he said wasn't very nice... It still made me feel better... And what Dustin said too...

All of that stuff just made me think, "I'm very lucky."
