GSA School Club
My school is awesome in some ways; one of them is the Gay-Straight Alliance. The 2 year-old brainchild of a student, supported by the Environmental Science teacher, the GSA has more members this year than ever before. The freshmen of RHS will go through their high school years knowing that there is a club of people who will give them support and ( Read more... ) -

Assignment: Written Expression
Really looking forward to this semester. Lots of great classes. Creative Writing, Psychology, Electronics, American Government (with one of my favorite teachers instead of the crusty old conservative that used to teach it!), Drama 1, and Marketing 101. This looks like a moderately pleasant year ahead.
The following is my favorite part of my response ( Read more... ) -
And as the final days of summer wound into the Past
And as the final days of summer wound into the past
he found that he did not mourn its passage
as he'd always done before.
What changed he wasn't sure
why he couldn't tell
but he felt no regret
as the summer breathed its last.
Inspecting the season's break
he saw again the time he spent
on the ways in which he could relax
when barely out school's ( Read more... ) -
Well at least it's cooler
Rain.
I can appreciate rain, even enjoy being rained on (the secret is in keeping your eyebrows from scrunching up). But I also prefer that rain wait until I want it to rain. Bah.
It's already the 18th of August! My summer holiday is nearly over! If it hadn't been so eventful I might be more upset! I am quite satisfied with my use of it (especially ( Read more... ) -
The Logical Extension of this Plan...
Alternate Titles Include: "Hey! I needed that!', "I lost my sleep -- can I borrow yours?", and "No energy drinks past this point".
Hmmm... Seems to me that the logical extension of this plan is on a similar level of potential success to the Pointy-Haired Bosses' Hummer that ran on owls.
You see, sleep is a nessessary part of the human experiance; if ( Read more... ) -

Stale
Waa. I feel stale. Had a lot of trouble writing. Almost didn't post.
Maybe I'm just tired, but I seem to be shifting back to black & white vision. That sucks.
Is that all it takes to drain me of inspiration and enthusiasm? One weekend of gaming-as-usual?
No. There are other factors. I'd be foolish to believe that gaming is the root of dryness, but it ( Read more... ) -
Necklace Poi!
OK, so here's the idea: Necklace Poi.
Isn't it brilliant?!
With necklace poi, one would never have to be poiless! One could spin at school or at the bus stop!
The problems are many, and I would appreciate contribution, so that I can actually make a set of necklace poi before school starts.
The first horde of problems are with the weight of the poi, ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: God For a Day
First, I would inform the world in no uncertain terms that the office of God is under new management, and that all engagements made by the previous officeholder are null and void. This would be done in the voice-from-heaven manner, in addition to identical messages appearing simultaneously on all recording devices (functional or not), the ( Read more... )
