... tired and hungry and I was also sick........... I also was going to have class until 9.... Uhgggg.....
I am going to be dead by the end of the day........ I'm so tired that when I went to Haven bookstore for my algebra text I was so stressed to get back for class. When I got to class the prof was already teaching some thermodynamic junk. It was a bit odd, but I could believe this was my class. It got more questionable with all these weird unexplained complicated examples that everyone (none of who I recognized) understood, but it was so basic.... So maybe..?
No. It was some second year engineering math class... I learned nothing and sat there for half an hour.... XP
Ya... Lame... Whatever. XP... Then I almost fell asleep in class a few times... Our new physics prof is way more legit, but soooo boring. XP
I'm now in Oasis because I saw CW before going all the way to Loeb Cafe. XP......
Whatever. XP I had pb&j. I'll be fine for now and spaghetti later. XP

"WC is Awesome"
Hey,
so. Today so far I have slept in until 8:35, gone to the main session with Paul Henderson as the main speaker this morning (I didn't know who he was until he explained and everyone was like "omg! Paul Henderson!" He apparently was the goal of the century for Canada. Meh.), and now it is 'quiet time' which my room mates don't really take seriously.
I can't find the song I want to post... It was called 'Surrender' which is a kinda common title.
Anyways. WC is awesome.
I'm kinda sick though. xP Which makes singing in a higher range harder.......... but I just go down a few harmonies as the song progresses, BUT I still sing as loudly as I can. xP so good. I want to buy the CD for the band that has been playing for us. Only 10$. xP

帰りました / OMG!!! PUPPY!!! =D
Hey, so...
We just got back from Summit.
Overall, it was a great experience. We got to spend a lot of time with the C4C people from Carleton and bonded. I suppose the more outrageous a stunt the bigger the audience's reaction, right? Well does the same go for relationships..? Like, everyone shaving their heads really brings people together. Or stealing the 'goose' that had already been stolen and painting it / giving it wings and having a photoshoot with it. xP And all the random cheering! "1! We are the Ravens! 2! A little bit louder! 3! I still can't hear you! 4! More, MOre, MORE! x4+" or "Caaaaarrrrrrlllll-tooooooooonnnnn x8+"
The worship team was pretty cool. The bass player was cool. He was asian, played bass, and sang harmonies! I was kinda being affected by my being sick and couldn't sing high notes very well, which was kinda annoying because the key was awkward for guys... xP I didn't care how terrible I sounded. I just sang as hard as I could! Now I have experienced the whole "it isn't about how good you sound when worshipping" idea.
Also, first impressions aren't always right. There's this girl I met a week or two ago. Her first impression was that of a quiet shy girl. I got a completely different impression this weekend.
Also, I don't really have a mohawk anymore, or rather it's a really short mohawk... xP I can't gel it anymore... I wanted it a bit shorter, but now it's too short... I shall have to let it grow out and have something between a mohawk and a fauxhawk...
Anyways, VS drove us home. I opened the door and a puppy runs at us!!! It's sooooooo cute!!! It's here for the weekend, but other than that I don't know anything about it. I think it's nails are too long though... and we have no carpets except an area in the living room and a couple rooms downstairs.
RL is kinda scared of it.... xP He saw it coming towards him, so he stood on top of a stool. xP
So, ya...
One of my favourite songs we sang this week:
The Greatness of Our God
So, ya.
I pray that everyone involved in Summit will be able to break through barriers in their faith and reach out to those around us and bring His word to their hearts. I pray that we would be able to work together with each other and God to fulfill his purpose for us and show His love through our lives.

P.S. I found my old testimony. I will deal with it a bit later. xP

I Appear to be a Pack Mule... >.>
So. It is now October and I am finally going to my first C4C event. It's gonna be crazy! I may even get a mohawk. XP...
So... Ya. I am now on the 117 going to school for the purpose of leaving the province. I am very glad that the bus is not packed right now........
A few minutes ago I just carried two sleeping bags, two pillows and one very... VERY stuffed bag to the bus stop. The reason for this is that RL, my housemate, is also going to summit but has class until around 5 today, which is when we are leaving and instead of carrying it around all day he asked me to bring them...
I almost never say no unless there is a legitamate reason like I'm doing something already. I'm always happy to help just that sometimes I help too much..? XP...
So, ya. It's almost summit time!
I'm still kinda sick.... XP and I don't really have any cold medicine, just medicine for a fever... So If I get a fever, I'll get better; and if I don't get a fever, I'll be getting better. XP.......

*Kick in the Shin*
Heyo!
I'm kinda sick... xP...
It's been cold and rainy all week and most of the YA have been passing around something, so it's not coming from nothing, but it's still kinda annoying...
But you know, I don't stay home when I am sick. XP. I just do what I was going to do, just with a bit more coughing.
I hope I'm better before summit.
Anyways... It seems like hitting someone is a common and accepted way of getting someone's attention.
A couple weeks ago on the bus home as I was about to get off, DK kicked me. XP... And yesterday SK whacked me with his hat... Oh... And every other time I see AL it starts with a punch to the shoulder... XP...
Is hitting someone really the best way to greet someone..?
Idk... Probably not.

Sketchy Medical Treatment
So. Ya.
I will start this post by again saying that my day was boring. However there was a few interesting things.
I woke up. Made kinda tasteless scrambled eggs. Watched anime. Called work. Watched anime. Did laundry. Watched anime. Made soy/lemon/chicken/ginger/curry rice using ingredients in my house. It was pretty good. Shoyu wa oishii desu yo. Watched anime. Cleaned the kitchen, mostly because my brother has been cleaning the house because he wants money... Watched anime. Ate supper. Watched anime. Did a bible study. Read memory verses. Watched an anime movie which ended in a cliffhanger....... There's going to be another movie eventually...
So. Yesterday my mom told me that when I wake up this morning to call work and tell them I couldn't go. She wanted me to take a sick day which I had never done before. I called. Asked to speak to my boss. I told him I would be unable to work today because I sprained my ankle and he thanked me for calling. I found it strange that it was so easy... I hope they found someone to cover my shift....... I would have gone in if they needed me......
So, ya. In my room there is a vent for A/C and heating. Since my house is always freezing, the vents are always pumping out cold air, right? So I covered the vent with a shirt and put my foot under it. xP This is the medical treatment for my foot. Cold air. I have yet to see any actual physician about my 'sprained' ankle, but it feels better I guess... It's more blue/purple then yesterday, but less swollen and more moveable. There must be a lot of blood in my foot to bruise all the way around from the top of my toes to my ankle on all sides... ... it's kinda gross thinking about all that blood in my foot.......
Ya. Lunch was tasty. I sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil then added curry powder, cayenne pepper, cumin and ginger powder (it would have been better with real ginger, but I didn't have any...). Then I added the rice with chicken stock, soy sauce and water (only because I didn't have enough chicken stock...). I added fresh chives from our backyard (we planted them like 5 or more years ago and some are still growing each year...) and half a lemon of lemon juice. I also kinda kept adding the spices and soy... a lot more of each. Hehe. It was tasty.
I admit I've been watching too much anime. I just have too much free time... and I could make some excuses like today was a sick day I'm supposed to do nothing and give medical treatment to my injury, which I can do while watching anime (My foot is cold... >.>), but ya... It is a bit too much...
I finished reading 'Mere Christianity'. It is a good book, but I don't read much so I don't know how good my review really is. As I was reading I deffinately agreed with almost everything if not everything he was saying. The point of the book, which was originally a series of radio talks was to explain clearly, to the war stricken British people, what Christians believe. So although it is very good at explaining, it doesn't really go very deep into things, or say anything that would be very controversial and he starts off in a very roundabout way of saying things. I found his explainations very good in general, but I don't really like history / war (which many of his comparisons were centered on) so I was kinda... okay I'm indifferent about them because they were good examples. So, ya, I'd recommend it, but it's deffinately aimed at beginners, although I suppose if you have become 'advanced' in your faith this could always backup the foundation or something..?
I'm gonna sleep.

So, today started with a sprint to work after I woke up 5 minutes before I was supposed to be there.... xP I stayed up until 2 playing a ridiculous game... xP
So, ya... I hate corn. I think I am becoming allergic or were always mildly allergic.... I had to put out like 12 crates of corn.......
Praise Team was cool. From the Inside Out was sounding awkward, so instead we're playing Above All.
xP..........
Me and RL both need to get our G1's before our siblings do.

"These things are always so cryptic."
So. Today I am going to Montreal for a fun day with some of my friends. Yesterday I was going to do a post about star fruit and graduation. If I am bored / have time today I may turn that post into two posts...
So, ya. I am currently on a train heading towards the Ottawa Train Station with three of five other people that were going to go today. One person didn't feel well and couldn't come with us today which kind of really sucks... I was looking forward to it...
Originally the trip was gonna be for a whole bunch of people, but we hadn't really decided what. Suddenly there was this sale on train tickets to Montreal and we bought 7. Then we were stuck trying to get a couple of people. A few people changed their minds and a few people ended up being unable to go, so... Only the six of us made a comittment to going.
So, I hope today is cool and I hope MR gets better soon.

So, ya...
Yesterday was really weird.
Let me start by saying when I'm hyper, I'm hyper. People often ask me if I'm drunk or high when I'm hyper. This is mostly because when I'm hyper Idon't use as much logic or thinking. Like, I'll make really impulsive decisions and stuff. I also want to run when I'm hyper or do some physical activity.
Tuesday after the softball game I was really hyper. Actually I became hyper in the last inning and was annoyed that I wouldn't get to bat again... Our team had like 13 people there and it was the bottom of the last inning. We were down by like 6 runs, so either we get 7 runs or we get 3 outs. Maximum of like 10 batters before either of those comes true. I was like the last one to bat the inning before, so ya...
After the game we went home and I was still hyper, it was still sunny and still warm. I wanted to play tennis. My brother was asleep... >.> I kinda left the house without telling anyone and went to the courts. There were no extra people there so I went into the lodge and got the members list. I called like 4 other teenaged guys I knew. None of them were at home. So that was no help. I ended up just hitting against the wall.
The wall isn't all that tall and I often lob the ball by accident... So I had to go fetch balls every once in a while. Because I was hyper I sprinted to get the balls. There's a feild behind the wall and it was like 9 pm, so it was getting dewy, so I kinda slipped while stopping. Normal people would just get up. I lay down. xP but I couldn't see the stars... it was still too bright.
The whole time I was at the wall I was texting my brother's girlfriend about playing tennis. She had never played. Me being hyper and really wanting to play, I asked her if she wanted to play tommorow (yesterday) and she agreed. xP...
So, yesterday, I went to school to study and hunt down some people to sign my yearbook. It is exam week by the way. So, I didn't get there until 10 or so. It was cloudy. I studied Physics for like 4 hours then went to the courts.
Me and CL 'played' for a bit. xP It was a learning experience. I had kinda felt bad all day because I was going to play tennis with / teach tennis to my brother's girlfriend without telling him and I was borrowing his racket without telling him because she didn't have one. We only 'played' for like half an hour though. It started pouring...
So, CL kinda lives kinda far away, so she had to take the bus home. We went to the bus stop nearby (one with a bus shelter thing) and waited 17 minutes for the bus. The school right beside the bus stop had just finished I guess and like 4 or 5 middle school kids were also there.
xP. Have you ever heard of people texting each other while in the same room..? Ya..? Have you ever done it yourself..? No..? Well I have now. A couple of the kids were speaking french. I commented on that, but by text. I mean you don't talk about people while they are standing right beside you, right? It was kinda funny. We were like having two conversations at once. *text to AL*
Anyways, the bus came. She got on. I walked home. I didn't have work again, because it was raining... xP
I had to study for my Bio exam that was today, but I had a headache and went to sleep before I was done studying...

Awkward
So. I havn't updated in a while. Also. I should be studying for my Calc / Vectors Exam tommorow morning... so the following update will be short and awkward. Enjoy.
12 "Hey AL! How was your race?!? ... Oh. ... *restrained snicker*. Also, english pop music probably is a bit more interesting to 11 year-olds then overly-loud, spanish, hard rock screamo... o.0 ... I also don't have a girlfriend and didn't get to see CM or VC......"
13 "Hey AL *sounds of screaming / clapping / cheering uncontrollable teenagers* 3/13 isn't that bad... only a bit more then an asian fail... >.> at least the giant talking parcourting tiger won an award! I also don't have a girlfriend, but got to see EO and CM!"
14 "Hey AL! After the Vendetta is a very, *cough* interesting band *cough*. What? I'm sick... *cough* What a way for it to all end. 'Baby, baby, baby Oh I thought you'd always be mine...' Also, you know... no girlfriend. Yet."
D.Fa
PS. Seriously. I typed "b" into the youtube search bar thing and clicked on the topmost suggestion then the third video from the top on the following page to get this video. Maybe a bit too easy. Does that tell you anything about the fever going around..? Maybe it's contagious..? Anyways. Here you go.
PPS... omg. 200 million views...

Social Networking
"Hey AL. I still don't have a girlfriend. I have a bunch of friends though."
So, today was Friday. The last Friday of normal high school. At the end of the day RM said something like "this will be the last time a bell dictates where I should be."
Ya. For the past week I've been spending every spare second trying to track down everyone I know so I can get them to sign my yearbook. During Calculus, instead of studying like maybe one other person in the room, I 'calculated' how many signatures I have 'collected', 'need' and 'maybe' might get. I calculated that I had 'collected' about 200 signatures and only 'needed' about 40 more, although I might get as many as 120 more.
The only problem is that there is only one half-day left. You can't be sure who will be there and no one will actually be in classes.
Also, yesterday, I think, I had been emailed the program for the assembly. 1. Safari Adventure Bikers (aka. the 'band' I'm in) wasn't on the program, and 2. My email was the contact for the Swing Kids..? Apparently no one had done anything about this and I had to locate the people in charge because AdSB didn't know what they look like and VB and AL were both busy. So, at lunch after handing my yearbook to someone I'd scour the area around it until it was done being signed and then moved to another person and repeated until I found one of the people in charge. She said everything had been worked out.
The dress rehearsal was afterschool. I had left the bass / amp in the staff room all day because I got to school before the music room was open and would be using it after it would be closed and the staff room is pretty close to the caf (where the rehearsals were), so it was a pretty good spot. I'm kinda sick now, so I can't really sing like I normally do... When I get sick I can't sing the higher octave very well, and I dislike the lower octave so.... ya...
After the dress rehearsal I had work. There wasn't much to do so I had time to think about stuff.
I ended up thinking about westfest. Then I thought about inviting NB, who I invited by Facebook, but I wanted to make sure she got the invite. Apparently some people don't check their facebook accounts much (me included).
The thing was that I didn't have NB's phone number and I was at work...
So, I wanted to text her, but I needed her number first. So I went to my contacts list and texted 15 people that I thought would have a chance of having her number.
This resulted in about half of them replying "Who are you..?" There were also "I don't even know who that is" and "No, I don't"s. Only two replies were relatively helpful.
JB replied "who are you? you should try asking SB." But I didn't have SB's number either, so I asked for the number of someone who would have SB's number. She replied with EM's number and SD's number. I texted both of them. I then recieved a text saying "Your text to landline was a sucess" or something. ie it was a home phone number... both of them actually...
BH also replied "Who is this? and no." but after I told him who I was I asked him if he had CM's number because CM and NB are in the same grade, are both singers, and BH is in CM's vocal class, so he probably had her number.
BH did have CM's number and CM did have NB's number.
Sucess.
So, I invited her. A number of texts later, she said she would have to ask her parents if she could get a ride and also it would depend if she had finished studying by then, but that's pretty good.
The whole trying to get her number thing took like an hour... I had to text stealthily because I was at work and I wasted like 3 pairs of rubber gloves because you just can't answer your cell phone while wearing rubber gloves covered in a medley of fruit juices (I was making fruit salads at the time). I ended up also inviting TS because I had to explain to him why I needed NB's number.
So, ya. That was cool. The facebook event page is kinda sad though... I know a lot of the people on the "Not Attending" list... I also invited MM and VC once I got home and VC said she'd try to go if she's not busy. I havn't seen her in like half a year.
So, ya... I'm tired now... *cough*

So, today was Friday. The last Friday of normal high school. At the end of the day RM said something like "this will be the last time a bell dictates where I should be."
Ya. For the past week I've been spending every spare second trying to track down everyone I know so I can get them to sign my yearbook. During Calculus, instead of studying like maybe one other person in the room, I 'calculated' how many signatures I have 'collected', 'need' and 'maybe' might get. I calculated that I had 'collected' about 200 signatures and only 'needed' about 40 more, although I might get as many as 120 more.
The only problem is that there is only one half-day left. You can't be sure who will be there and no one will actually be in classes.

Good Intentions With No Action.
So. Yeah.
For a year now I've been trying to attend church regularly, ever since No Other Name* last year. No Other Name is an annual event for grade 6-12 students on Good Friday. There is a speaker, workshops, a concert, dodgeball, a talent competition and communion among other things. It goes for most of the day and it's a lot of fun and you always walk away feeling really good.
A while back a friend invited me to her youth group at church and I went to it every week. This is where my spiritual journey began. I had never been to church except for a funeral, at least as far as I remember. I made a bunch of friends and got to know many more. I'm still meeting people... xP... I actually got to be friends with someone who was my friend in middle school again too. As the weeks passed by I learned more and my group leader gave me my first Bible.
I often forget to thank people for things, mostly because it seems awkward at first and it gets more awkward as time goes by, but I really want to thank her for bringing me to church originally.
Anyways, I went to Youth Fellowship almost every Saturday night, sacrificing movie night with my parents and sometimes my brother. As time went by I participated in a sleepover, camping, chinese new year, valentine's day, and a bunch of different courses during YF.
When I went to No Other Name, during dinner I had a conversation with AL and SB about going to church on Sundays. At the time I had work Sundays from like 10am to 2pm and english service at church was 11-12:30, so I couldn't really go unless I told my boss... They were telling me different churches I could go to that had evening services and stuff. If you don't know yet, I'm kinda shy. Okay, I'm pretty shy, but I'll do things under peer pressure. xP >.> That came out the wrong way... I just need a little push from a friend to do things that I should...
No Other Name was really great.
Anyways, I started going to church on Sundays when I didn't have work and became friends with a couple of the YA (Young Adults) who were on the Worship Team that plays worship songs during service each week. I think it was a month later I decided to finally tell my boss that I would be going to church every Sunday. My shifts after that changed to 2-10pm... I would always watch the Simpsons and Family Guy Sunday nights. It was a sacrifice, but it wasn't a difficult decision. I mean a couple cartoons on Sunday mean nothing and I finally got to go to church regularly.
In September the Worship Team had a video games night and we had a lot of fun. They asked a few people if they would like to join the Worship Team. Of course I did, but I had never mentioned it because ... ya... I'm shy, so this was when I joined the Worship team.
The first time I kida didn't follow the dress code. xP Button Shirt and no jeans basically, but I only found out after the first Sunday I was on the team. Anyways, there was no problem and now I look forward to the weekends I'm scheduled for Worship team. At first I only sang even though I wanted to play bass. Once I got to play bass Irealized singing was better, so I've been learning how to sing while playing. I've also had to improve my ability to improvise harmonies because I'm never Worship Team leader, because I'm too shy and I don't think I'm quite ready to lead the whole congregation in praising Him.
Worship team has been a great experience. I've had the oppourtunity to have more fellowship with the people on the team and I met some other people too. I'm not one to just approach people just because I don't know them...
Anyways, the week before the church moved I went to Sunday School. Sunday school is okay. The Sunday school teachers often ask the group questions and only some of the time is there an enthusiastic response... Ya, ever since then I've been going to Sunday school too.
I also have been going to the special services too, like the candle light service Christmas Eve. Me and some of my friends and the Pastor performed a Relient K song the Sunday before and it was pretty awesome, except that I was sick...
So, ya. No Other Name this year was in Stittsville and it was pretty awesome. I saw a couple people from school. Our easter service ran late though so we were late getting to NON, but the whole day was awesome. I went to the "Sacrificial Non-Conformity" and "Worship is Life" workshops. The band that was playing worship songs and a concert was Atlantic. They were awesome so I bought their CDs. 1 for 15$ or 2 for 20$ clearly I had to buy both. xP I had also bought a CD back at Engage Your World about a month earlier.
Engage Your World was a similar event put on by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Manic Drive played. There was a "mosh pit", but that's not the point. xP They were really cool. They are like my favourite band now. xP
So, actually EYW was being run without a large spending budget, so all the advertising was done by students attending it. There were training nights for how to invite people and how to tell people about your relationship with God and I ended up being a councilor at the big event on Friday. Monday to Thursday there were smaller events. I tried inviting a few people, even one I didn't really want to, but felt like I should, maybe it was God telling me to. In the end only that one person went to the event, but only on Wednesday. Friday was way cooler. Oh. I even got to help bring someone to Christ. It was a big moment finally doing something and now I'm suposed to help disciple him, but I feel like I still need to work on myself...
So. Ya, I kinda have a problem keeping "sin-free". So after I had been going to YF I learned of how sinful my life was and have made significant improvements. I stopped "stealing" food at work like everyone else does. There's actually this one guy who just walks into the bakery freezer and takes cookie dough, and it's ok. I don't think so... not anymore. I have tried to read the Bible everyday. For a while I was reading maybe two chapters a day. It turns out I can't remember that much. So now its more like 20 verses a day. I started praying before I read and before bed, but clearly that wasn't enough, especially for a time there when I would fall asleep before saying Amen... I've been doing a bible study everyweek now which takes around an hour for each study and there's always a memory verse, which I have been memorizing. I have also been doing other things, but I always end up back in the same place at the end of every week, guilty and begging for forgiveness just once more swearing to not sin again, but falling short every time.
Each time I realize that I am sinful and need His help to get through it.
Ever since I got an mp3 player I've been downloading music off the internet. It was fine until they changed the Canadian law... and then I was "stealing" music. I've decided since buying those three CDs that I wouldn't download songs anymore and that I would only legitamately buy them from iTunes or something or buy an actual CD. The problem is that I don't have a credit card. How do I get one..?
Anyways, that was pretty long too, and I am procrastinating... I have like two hours to hand-in my Physics summative progress report... I have made little progress this month... I assume these posts will get shorter once I'm done talking in the past tense, well, distant past tense anyways...
