"I just thought that I'd let you know. Being near you is a gift I only wish I could treasure. But for now I'll sit and wait. I'm still burning though. I just thought that I'd let you know."

It's been a while since I last updated this thing. I missed the deadline for the SAT's. So now I got to wait to register again. I better not forget this time. Kayleigh, you looser, you owe me a quarter!!!! I bet Kayleigh 5 cents that I would get a higher score on our U.S. History test. We both got perfect scores, BUT, on my paper Ms. Smith added "AMAZING!". Kayleigh didn't get any comments on hers. Therfore, I think I got the higher score!!!! You best pay up Kayleigh!!! The past 2 weeks, I have been staying after school to work on the mural. I don't want any one painting my dragon. It's MINE!!!! The original plan that I had for the mural was "lost". I think that some one decided it wasn't a good idea. But I really don't care. It's happend before. In 7th grade, my class was going to paint a mural. There were people who had ideas, but I was the only one who had a plan all drawn out and everything. When the time came to paint the damn thing, I wasn't at school, some other kid came up with the idea to paint crap on the freakin wall. Well not actual crap, that's just what it looks like. CRAP!!! The majority of people agreed with my plan, but the other guy took advantage of me not being there and convinced the teacher to go with his. The mural is still up at Garfield. But if you look at the names where people signed the mural, you will see that I'm the only one not on it. HAHAHAHAHA!!! That showed him.

Today was open house at school. I went to be a student tourguide. That was a waist of my time. I showed 2 parents the campus and I went to Kmart to buy some film for the digital camcorder. That's it. After me and Pedro left the school, we past by BK and were stuck in the drive thru for about 45 min. That sucked. I get home with my food. I'm ready to eat it. Then my dad walks in telling me I got to go with him to drive him somewhere. We went to this guy over by the Main Library and my dad bought a mountain bike off of him. He rode that home and I drove home. Once I got home, I was ready to eat. But the food was cold and is not the best tasting thing after it gets reheated in the microwave. There goes $5. I made me a sandwich. Mmmmm.... Sandwich.... Then I got online (using dialup, which is no where close to being as good as DSL) and checked my mail. There's no point in telling you the rest of my day. It's just boring. One good thing that has happend, I am gonna start testing my skills on the turn tables. My buddy Mike asked me if I wanted to go over to his house and really learn how to DJ. That way I can really back up my alter-ego, Dj cHikEN sCRaTcH. So thats a good thing.

Life, over all, is ok right now. Other than the fact that my family is seriously broke, I think everything is going pretty cool. My older brother finaly got a job, so he's never around, thank god. Speaking of jobs, no one has called me for a job interview. But I'm sure it's because I'm pretty young. I'm not behind on any school work and I haven't been late in 4 days. That's a record! My car is making noises I don't think it should be. I don't think it's a good thing. I've been keeping my self busy with setting up a little sound system for my comp. I hopefully don't mess up my sound output on my comp. What els is there? Sha-boo-YA, role call! I finally think I got a song on my guitar. I was messing around and came up with something catchy. If I can figure out an intro and a solo, I will have my first song ever! I don't know about lyrics. Mabey I'll ask some one to help me write a song. If any one is interested, call me or talk to me. This is big.

There is still a chance for me to go to Costa Rica. Misla asked me if I wanted to go. If I get the money in time, I'm going. It would be the perfect thing for me to do right now. I really feel I need to just go some where. This might be my chance. I can either go to Costa Rica or to Outdoor Ed again. I would rather go to Costa Rica. I still have the papers that where given out at that little presentation that lady did at our school. I filled them out just in case I had the chance, and the money, to go. Where am I going to get $1200 in about 3 weeks? I have no idea. If I get a job sometime this week, mail in my taxes, get the $400 my sis owes me, and borrow some money from my parents, I think I can get the money in time. Ok, just now I finished reading over the application for the Costa Rica trip and it says that the payment has to be made by January 31. I think I can still make the deadline.

So the Costa Rica thing isn't gonna work out. Umm... One last thing before I go. A friend of mine that reads my entries asked me if I felt like running away from home or something. Because I talk alot about wanting to leave. If any one thinks I wanna run away, I don't. I just want to be away for a while. I kinda wanna be out on my own or something. I just want to do something that is totaly new to me in a totaly new environment. I'm gonna come back.
