Since my last post here, I have posted 4 times in my Xanga. I suggest you go there for those and my future posts, until I switch back to posting here. The link is the next paragraph.

Pop
Today in Spanish class we had a “pop” quiz. “Pop” because we knew a head of time. On Wednesday Sra. Clouser informed us that we should probably know the material as is open for testing in the near future, implying a quiz this week. As it wasn’t yesterday as some suspected (I know Josiah did), it had to be today. <joke> Some time we should have a quiz about soda, because then it would be a pop pop quiz. </joke>
Yesterday during chem I was called to the office. Mr. Murphy had called Kate Rowe, Frank, and I to the conference room between the main office and guidance. He told us how tommorrow (today) a consultant from the Successful Practices Network would be coming and that he had selected us and a few others to meet with the consultant. Today during third period I returned to the conference room and found John Snyder, David Rudnik, and Katie Collier in addition to Kate and Frank. The consultant, who called him self a liaison officer, asked us about why we were selected and various topics about the school. It finished a few minutes into 4th period, which Mr. Murphy said it wouldn’t, and so I was able to make a grand entrance into Spanish class. Sra. Clouser asked where I had been and then I struggled to say where I was, but then she understood. Martha asked where I was and I directed her to what Sra. Clouser was saying to someone else. We played escaleras for review and then took the “pop” quiz.
Afer school I went to the ACE room for the first time, not because I was in trouble but to make up the World Cultures current events quiz I missed during 3rd period. I know I didn’t get a 100% because I had forgotten who Charles Thompson was. Unfortunately, Mr. Bean hadn’t allowed our class to use our notes at all during the test because he felt we hadn’t done our part this week, too many people not having current events to share. If they had gotten to use their notes, I would have and then I would have gotton the Charles Thompson question correct. But it is okay because I got to eat some cake afterwards…
After the quiz I went to the cafeteria where the German Club’s Veteran’s Day festivities were almost over. Mrs. Bectel was telling Elliot how a class after his add a very exciting demonstration. In each class she showed the reactivity of sodium by dropping a small piece into a pan of water. In the one class the piece was too big and it exploded, leaving residue on the shield and on the counter. At the other extreme she put the sodium into a beaker with mineral oil floating on top of water. In that case the sodium was supposed to drift down through the oil, since the sodium is more dense, react when it makes contact with the water, drift back up, and repeat numerous times. Problem was it didn’t repeat. For our class she cut the sodium into a few pieces so it didn’t explode, just release gas and zoom around the pan.
After eating my cake I went over to Founder’s Field where the Ultimate game had just started. Later after much throwing, the pizza had arrived. We were able to get 3 free pizzas because Bricker’s Pizza ran an add in the Broadcaster with a coupon for a free pizza. It was good pizza. Hot pizza, cold air, and the sight of Cameron and Alex throwing cheese from the last slice at each other. Play resumed but ended when Brooke got hit by the frisbee in the face. You can give her your condolences here.
I’ve become a co-admin at a new forum! There have been a lot of new forums lately, but this one is focused on being one, large game. Try it out, The Online Market.

Good News
Good news to all of you who attend my school. This blog, like my other one, is not blocked by the school. This means you can read my blog while your “supposed” to be working in classes where you have access to computers or during study hall. Now of course you should do your school work before spending time here, but if you happen to be complete, come on over.
In the last few days I’ve found out more about TES:IV and I think that I will get it promptly upon it’s release. On the official forums I’ve read how there is over 50 hours of voice acting in it and how the members calculated how that amounts to a lot actually. They compared it to various amounts of TV seasons, about 2.5 seasons of a show. I think that with all the time I will be able to enjoy the game it will be worth the price, especially if my brother pays for part since he would be playing it too, just as much as me.
Just now (1:31 pm, Nov. 8, 2005), in gym we filled out our “Fitness Standards” cards with the percentiles we got for the various tests using the charts at this gov site, and our BMI and our target heart rate.
After school was the inter-language club dodge ball tournament between the German, Spanish, French, and Latin clubs. It was pretty fun, playing 4-5ish games of dodge ball. It was determined that there was rampant cheating among all teams and so the results from today were thrown out, with more being played this Thursday to determine the winner. The German club had the most people and were chanting “Hasselhoff” quite a bit. After words, Elliot was talking about someone dressing up as Hasselhoff and printing out humongous posters of Hasselhoff. According to Elliot, Hasselhoff is quite popular among Germans, and he is at least correct when it comes to our “Germans”.
After getting home, my family and I went to the new GIANT at 277 Hershey Road, Hummelstown, PA 17036. It was a pre-grand opening party for the employees of that GIANT and nearby ones and their families. The store has some nice new features, mostly geared towards the customer doing things an employee would usually do such as weighing food and checking the customer out. We spent most of the time eating the large amount of food they had there. It ranged from basic veggies and dip to cheese, bread sticks, macaroni and cheese, meatballs, buffalo wings, pasta salad, hot dogs, mushrooms, and to pumpkin pudding, ice cream, cake, cookies, and brownies for dessert. It was good. You don’t get any. I recognized two male upperclassmen there and one female sophomore there, the rest of the multitudes of present people being unknown to myself. At the end was the awesome part of the chocolate fondue fountain. There were strawberries, marshmellows and graham crakcers to hold under the flowing chocolate. My brother waited for the chocolate to harden, I did not. I enjoyed eating the strawberries in one bite, including the leaves. The leaves stay in your mouth after you have eaten the rest, tasting like…leaves. After returning home at about 8 o’clock I did my homework.

Hello world!
I have decided to start a blogsome blog. I’m not sure how I should do this. Have this blog have identical posts as my blogspot blog, have that one have identical posts as this one’s, or have them be different. If they are different, what posts would each one have? Hmm.
Here’s a screenshot of my desktop (click for full):
I got the source image from here. It was of the 250,000 boucy balls bouncing down a San Francisco street. I then modified it to include a white spot, lightning, some old cars, popcorn, and nerd stuff in the corner.
Hope you like it.
