Christmas and 8 Things

So, Christmas. It sure was a good one. For some strange reason everything in my life these past couple of months has been going terrible wrong in all the right ways. Not really sure what that means exactly, but it is true.

I’ll just highlight some of the really cool gifts I got:
-Left 4 Dead(On the Xbox Liam so get ready to be eaten)
-The Halo Trilogy Sound Track(That game just has some of the best music I’ve heard)
-A 24 DVD/Board Game
-Some pretty freaking sweet Tom’s Shoes with a flag and DVD
-A large collection of new clothes(if I was still 6, this would be counted as a disaster)

The rest were stocking stuffers-I have never been more excited to receive scrubbers/sponges before!

The night concluded in a spectacular win by me in Uno Stacko.

Well on Tuesday, I helped my church’s youth pastor to remake www.theburn.com. Now, it is not really completed at all yet(ie the banner), but it’s shaping into something really cool. Check it out! Speaking of social networking…A new service was launched on the 24th. It really is kind of lame, and I am a litle ashamed of this story, but it has to be told.

Mugglenet launched a Harry Potter Social Networking service called MuggleSpace. Yes, it really is that lame. It is basically Myspace, but everyone loves Harry Potter way too much. And, well…if you know who I am, I had to get one(now now, wait for the story to finish before you judge me). After I mad it, I didn’t know what to do. On Myspace I have friends so I could friend request them and talk to them, even on Hifive I have friends in Ecuador. But I didn’t have any friends or love Harry Potter quite like I do, or on Mugglespace. So I was wondering how this was going to work out.
Within 2 hours this random girl friend requests me. Her display name was Griffyndor Whore. A couple of things hit me right then and there.

1)Wow, this is why I deleted my Myspace
2)Why do I have an account on this piece of crap?
3)Griffyndor Whore? Really?
4)IT IS SPELT GRYFFINDOR YOU FRIGGIN IDIOT

So I deleted it and am never returning again. If people on there can’t even spell a word right and misrepresent what Harry Potter stands for, then I want nothing to do with it. Just like this book.

So little to do…

So I’m back at home for Christmas. There is so little to do. I had forgotten how good nothing to do is. All I do is sleep, play video games, hang out with friends, and read my books. It is amazing. It is the best.

You know what is not the best? Getting all B’s this quarter. Okay, wait. Not that B’s are a bad grade, I mean I’m passing that is a good thing. But when I was expecting at least two of those B’s to be A’s? It is a little disappointing. I need to see what happened in those classes…

Also, I need your input on this ASAP. I need to take one of the following classes. Which one should I take?

Environmental Analysis and Design, E15, Native American Religions and the Environmental Ethic

Planning Policy and Design 172, Latino Metropolis

Criminology, C172, Culture Change and the Mexican People

Political Science 61A, Intro to Minority Politics (role of race and ethnicity in politics)

Don’t they all sound AWESOME?!?
Too bad only the native American religion one is offered this quarter. I need to see if I can take any others…

Pre-Finals Post

Sorry, I’ve been studying and studying and studying these past few days. Of course, with the occasional Left 4 Dead break. And I started to record some moments just for kicks. Unfortunately the sound settings were screwed up and I didn’t realize that so you can only really hear what I am saying and not what my teammates are saying…or even the game sounds for that matter. I was really bummed when I found that out b/c Cory had an awesome That’s What She Said. Oh well. Check out our team’s epic fails we had when we got stuck on this single map(for 1.5 hours).

Padfoot240=I
Cannonball=Cory
xtomeb=Tom
Number 2=Jason
