I don't know... :\

Soooo....

I was talking to a fellow blogger and he said that it's not really necessary to treat Alex like I do.

(ie. not talking to him unless I have to, and even then showing little interest in what he says (which is usually nothing important anyway), kinda avoiding him, etc.)

He suggested maybe it's time to start building up a friendship with him again. Well, I dunno... I *guess* I would like that, but don't really know if it's a good idea. I feel silly for even asking >.<

Do you think it'd be worth it to try to fix it at this point? I've probably asked this before but I don't remember.

I don't know because: Our past history for one, it'd be awkward talking to him again, and he hasn't made any attempt to restart the friendship so I dunno if he would even be willing or w/e

I dunno... what do you think?

(I feel so weird for asking this for some reason :\ As I write this I'm starting to feel it's not such a good/worthwhile idea.)

Happy Birthday To Me :)

So... yeah... Yesterday was my birthday :)

18 years old FTW!

It's now legal for me to do pornography :D

And some lesser important things like voting and registering for the military draft. :p

So, yesterday I had to go to the school for the weekly meeting for the cyber students. Getting up at 6:30 is hard when you're not used to it -_- I'm up there from 8-10.

After that, Dad and I went to town to do a little grocery shopping. While there we made a stop at the Goodwill/Salvation Army depot and dropped off bags of clothes that were donated by Betty's family. He took me to McDonald's for my birthday. Nothing special (we stop there everytime we're up there around lunch time). I wanted to eat there because they're doing their Monopoly promotion thingy. I won 2 free drinks :)

After coming home I took a short, little cat nap.... which lasted two hours :p

Then Mom picked me up and we went down to the Strip District in Pittsburgh and ate at The Spaghetti Warehouse. OMG YUMMY! We got the special platter for 2 people. It had spaghetti, meatballs, Italian Sausage, some kind of ravioli, 15 (yes i said FIFTEEN) layer lasagna, and garlic bread. We ended up bringing most of it home lol. I was so full I didn't have room for cheesecake :(

Oh, and this older guy came in alone shortly before we were leaving. He was hitting on the waitress like crazy! He ordered UNsweetened tea, but when she brought it out he said,

"I ordered unsweetened tea."

The waitress says, "It is unsweetened."

"No it's not. It's sweet now because you brought it out."

>.>
<.<

Then he was trying to get her to take off work the rest of the night and go out with him LMAO

Anyway, when we got back in the 4-Runner, Mom gave me a birthday card. Inside was a $100 bill :O

I also got $20 from a lady at church, $25 from Dad (plus my laptop), 4 lottery tickets from one of my brothers (didn't win anything), and two $50 Amazon giftcards from two bloggers. You know who you are ;)

So thanks to those two. You didn't have to.

So... that was pretty much it for my birthday :)

Oh, I got a lot of happy birthdays from people on Facebook.

Maybe I'll scan the cards I got and post them on here cos some of them are funny :p

Lack of Commenting

Sorry for being such a lazy commenter on your blogs lately. I'm gonna try to start commenting on blogs more often. I promise :)

And now for some not-so-entertaining pics that I took recently :p





Creepy eyes

Another Toothpick

Well, that phrase is a bit disrespectful, but it was used on The Sopranos when someone died from cancer.

Yes, Betty passed away a couple days ago. The funeral is tomorrow.

Pets!

Okay, this is kinda a random post, but meh w/e.

We give out cats strange names don't we? Maybe you could suggest names for the last three? They used to belong to our neighbors (the abusive ones), but they moved and left them behind. Unfortunately we can't bring them inside since we don't know if they have any diseases that could be passed to our other cats. And we don't really have the money to take them to the vets either. But we do feed and water them. They live on our porch so that provides shelter from the rain/snow/falling leaves. We had an old dog house that I brought up onto the porch, and put old pillows inside. They sleep in there, and it provides additional protection from the cold wind, etc.

Wii/HSN Fail

How not to play Wii, courtesy of the Home Shopping Network

by Mike Smith

October 19 11:11 A.M.

Remember that spate of flying-remote, broken-TV mishaps that accompanied the launch of the Wii back in '06? A recent sales pitch on TV's Home Shopping Network ended in disaster when the host accidentally demonstrates why cheap plastic controller attachments can be a liability.

Check out the smooth way the huckster segues into a quick lesson on Wii remote safety -- "Make sure your accessories are definitely latched on all the way" -- and stands in front of the smashed TV for the remainder of the clip. Calm in the face of TV tragedy, he's a regular Sully.

Joking aside, the real tragedy here is that they're trying to sell a $199 Wii, plus 15 worthless controller attachments, for $330. That's worth breaking your TV over.

This put a smile on my face this morning :)

Story of My Life

Since I have nothing really current to blog about except if anything exciting happens during Youth Club or something, I've been thinking about telling the story of my life... like an autobiography of things that have happened up until the present day. I did this on my old blog, and those posts are still there, but I didn't really go in depth a whole lot. So I may start that in a few days (starting of course with my rather exciting birth (tho I don't remember it :p)).


In other news, I mentioned a lady in my last post that goes to our church, Betty, who isn't doing too good right now. She's battled cancer on and off for something like the last 7 years. She went in for an operation a month or so ago (I can't remember what for exactly), but ended up having two more operations.

She's deteriorated a lot since then. Dad and I went in there (the hospital) at the beginning of last week. She was in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The doctor had just given her something so she was kinda out of it. She could barely talk or even keep her eyes open. She was also all bloated... even her hands were...

Then Friday I think, we got a call from her friend saying that Betty was "giving up and is ready to go." She also requested that Dad go up as soon as he could. So we both went up. I stayed in the waiting room. When Dad came down he said, "Things like that are what remind me I don't need to retire." He said she had labored breathing (only averaging 5 breaths per minute), and she was out of it; he said he doubted she knew he was there. He also said that the doctors didn't expect her to last the rest of the day. So we went home and just were anticipating a phone call any minute.

I sent everyone I thought would want to know a text telling of her condition. I sent one to Alex too so he could relay it to his mother. To my *GREAT surprise* he actually sent one back :O Albeit, 4 hours later asking if there was any news.

Well, no such phone call has came yet. However, no improvement has come either...


Also, Alex is sick... again... He was sick two weeks ago too. Well, maybe if he wasn't out playing football everyday in short sleeves with the temperature at 50F/10C and cold winds...

Finally Something to Blog About: Youth Club

So... Youth Club started last night.

If you don't remember from last year, or you weren't around, Youth Club is a thing the church does for the kids who go to the church. There's also a class for the high school kids. Youth Club is held every Monday evening.

So yesterday, I was in the sanctuary alone sitting in the back. My head had been hurting a bit since before dinner, so I was kinda resting away from the kids playing a noisy game. Alex comes in at the front of the sanctuary and says, "Do I want to know...?" I lift my head to look at him and he says, "... What you're doing back there?" I just respond, "Sitting." then put my head back down and he left.

I'm not really being friendly to him anymore, that's not to say I'm being unfriendly either, I just kinda ignore/avoid him as much as possible. He still sits with me during church, but I sit all the way at the end of the pew instead of right beside him like before. Last year in Youth Club, we sat together on one side of the sanct. while the girls sat of the other side. Yesterday, neither girl was there so I sat on their side and he sat on the other. I haven't sent him a text message in I don't know how long, same goes for him sending me one. The emotional rollercoaster with him has finally stopped :)

So... yeah... that's all folks.

Webcam

I need a webcam!

It's kinda dumb having a Stickam account without having a webcam lol. So, maybe if I get enough B-day money I'll get one... I just have to wait 3 more weeks for B-day cards to come.

So, I will get a webcam eventually; then you can all lurk me all day long :p


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Stickam

So... I just got a Stickam account...

woot... I guess.

There really isn't any point since I don't have a webcam. But meh, whatever.

So... you can view my profile and my, usually, live audio stream instead. Come listen to me breathe! lol

No, seriously, I *may* talk if I'm home alone. Otherwise you'll have to listen to my clock ticking, me breathing/doing school work/talking to dad or the cats, etc. You'll probably also hear the TV/movie at certain times; mostly around noon my time (lunch) and the evenings on the weekdays (all the time on the weekends).

So stop by and chat with me :)

My profile: http://www.stickam.com/pabond007

Hmm... What to blog about?

...

I got nothing.
