BEDA day 6 - holy crap I survived the BEDA weekend

Wow, I was so sure I was gonna screw up on BEDA over the weekend, but I made it!

The new bathroom is finished! And I am excited for the house to be on the market on Tuesday!

Oh yeah, I'm in tennis (haven't mentioned on here yet). Today was supposed to be our first meet, but it got postponed because of HR Wind n' Stuff. Though it could be a blessing in disguise; I kind of suck at the moment. I can hold my own in a match, but sometimes I swing a bit harder than I should (my "over the fence" ball count is up to 3 so far, damn windy days).

I gotta stop waking up so late. I was late to school this morning; I got here at 8:25 and class starts at 8:20. Good thing I have band first, so nobody seems to care too much.

I haven't doodled at all for the past 2 months! I gotta get back to that.

This has been BEDA day 6.

BEDA day 5 - tired

I just got finished with Generation Now practice. We're trying to put together a musical, but it's getting a bit hard since less than half the people are showing up, and we have to do this at the end of May!

Hopefully the rest of my family has been working on the house while I was there. We're hoping to get it back on the market tomorrow. I wanna move so much!!

This has been BEDA Day 5.

BEDA day 4 - Cutting it close

I have work in 20 minutes until 9, the library closes at 5, and I've been working at my house all day. We're trying to get it sold so we can move into our grandparent's house since they're moving into town. We tried getting it sold last year before winter, but that didn't go too well. However, since this year there's some kind of $8,000 from the government to first time home buyers, and we've built a new bathroom, chances are it could go pretty well. We've actually already heard from interested buyers wondering if we were back on the market yet, but we will soon. :)

BEDA Day 3 - Forum again

Here I am in forum once more. I have no homework to do, quite awesome. So, I started reading this book called Maximum Ride. It's pretty weird. These kids grew up in a lab where genetic engineering gave them wings for to fly. They say their "98% human, 2% bird," but that's gotta be completely made up. The whole book feels kind of like something that I might've written in middle school. Not a lot of description, considering they can FLY. It seems like someone writing about an impossible feat would have as much description as possible. Plus I started looking for every cliche I could find; recurring nightmares=CLICHE. Yes, this is exactly what I was wishing I had, but come on! Basically a good idea, but not too great on execution. Too bad I can't quit a book very easily once I start reading it; I started on "The Subtle Knife" from the "His Dark Materials" trilogy but never finished it, and I've felt weird about it for a while now. A book I have to finish, but I can stop if I finish one in a series. Eragon=just as cliche, but I got through the first book...and never got to the second, as the whole thing felt ripped off. Plus this:
http://xkcd.com/483/
turned out to be pretty true, as it had a whole dictionary in the back!
Well, back to the book. This has been BEDA day 3.

BEDA Day 2 - From forum!

I'm sitting in forum at the moment, which is like homeroom in the middle of the day. Some guys are playing Connect Four. We're supposed to be doing some kind of portfolio due at the end of senior year, but nobody really does them.

Third wisdom tooth coming in. Luckily, mine don't hurt like everyone else's seem to.

Just realized I haven't mentioned this on here before; me and Dani are going out. I asked her last artwalk after she told me that she liked me, and it seemed I wasn't really getting anywhere with Jayme (pretty sure she's going out with Daniel again). We watched Mirrors the other day; it was pretty creepy, but we weren't...really...paying attention... :)

Florida trip was awesome!! The best place we went was probably Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios. They had some pretty sweet rollercoasters, and we even helped Dani get over her fear of upsidedown coasters (seriously, everyone likes them after they try them, even Mr. Edgeton who finally rode The Hulk after all these years)

I can't find any quotes on Bash.org that aren't blocked on my school's computers! How bad could they possibly be??

This has been BEDA day 2. This could be pretty hard to keep up though, since I don't have internet at home, so I can't get on every day...crap!

Blog Every Day in April eh?

Well, bring it on! Auriel just told me about this, so I'm gonna try and go for it! So, I'm hanging out at Dani's house. We're babysitting her one-year-old brother Teague. He's pretty strange; Dani can understand him, but I still feel like videotaping him talking and putting weird subtitles on him.
Spongebob possibly being cancelled?? Whaaaat? Although it's kind of weird he started acting so gay after he was accused of being such, not so much beforehand.
All I can think of at the moment, and I guess I could try to keep this up.

Some customers are such pricks

So I was working at Subway today. Customers are usually nice to ok, but not this one.
I'm working on veggies in the asseline we make when we have at least 2 customers, which we had three; a guy in a yellow shirt (unimportant to the story) and a couple, man and woman. I can't remember what the woman ordered, but the guy ordered a bmt (pepperoni salami and ham) on italian. Normally italian bread is a whitish color, but it occasionally gets a bit browner when we make it. It's still ok, but just not as soft.
So I finish with the yellow-shirt-guy's veggies and finish him off on register. I grabbed some more gloves and went over to the couple and asked what they wanted on the one in front of me, and the guy says he wanted it toasted. So I toast it like he wants while George (another employee) works on the woman's sub. After it comes out of the toaster, it seems a bit dark, but still fine. I ask him what he wants on the sandwich and he asks for light lettuce. I put it on, very lightly, but he says "even lighter" a little agitated, even though it's pretty much as light as you can get without just scraps of lettuce here and there. So he gets a few other things, and by the time I'm finished, George is done with the woman's so we're both starting to wrap the sandwiches when he askes, sounding slightly more agitated, if his is burnt. I don't think it is, so I look over at George, who says "no." The guy must not have heard him because it turns out he had been starring at just me for the answer. By that time I was starting to hear him use the F-word a few times, though not too loud.
I put the wrapped sandwich in the bag along with the one George wrapped, and hand it to the two while asking if they want a meal (which we're required to ask). The woman says no thanks, but the man is already taking his sandwich out of the bag, looks at it, and says "what the fuck!" He goes off on his woman complaining how he believes it's burnt. So the woman asks us if we could possibly remake it, which George goes to do, trying to avoid anything too bad. He looks at me and says "I asked you if it was burnt but you just fucking ignored me!" So I start to point at George about to say "He told you it wasn't." I guess I must have started to make a small shrugging motion while I did because the next thing I got from him was:
"DON'T FUCKING SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS AT ME, ASSHOLE!"
All I could do was stand there and quietly say "sorry." Then he starts saying stuff like "I come here 40 times a week," "I've never been treated this way," and "I'm never coming here again." On the last one I was tempted to shout "GOOD!!" So I have to redo the veggies for him, all while being treated like shit. During which, I started making a list of things I should've said to him (good thing I didn't, but it would have been so satisfying):
"I'm gonna venture a guess that you're either unemployed or that you don't work around other people."
"I swear, if I didn't have to make this sandwich in front of you..."
"Sheesh, what crawled up your ass?"
"You must be great at parties."

So after I remake it, the woman politely thanks us for making sandwich again. But then I notice that they're leaving with all three sandwiches! Wait a minute, so your bitching at me, and you're getting free food for it?? What the fuck is your problem!?!? I'm so glad he said "never coming here again," or I'd probably greet him with "Hey, assface." Hope that woman dumps him soon, while it's still early (our manager said she always comes in with a different guy.)

Asshole.
