-and I feel fine.
I actually have some free time right now but I'm going to bed because I have practice at 6:30. I'm actually annoyed when I don't have much to say and whatnot. It was a normal day, my knee hurts, and I passed in my story with a pretty neat cover page- if I say so myself (I loathe judging myself)- and.. yeah, that's about it.
I wanted to work on that layout a bit tonight, but I'm really tired from all the work I've had recently and I keep reminding myself to get some projects started. Unfortunately if I want to survive at MC, school's gotta come first.
I wonder who's been monitoring this from the school >.>
Good night world.
Wonder how long it'll be 'til some strangers start checking this blog. Not that I expect any to do until I get what I want underway. What's it been, a month? Have I accomplished anything? Other than making this a habit, nope.

Hello, world
WHOOO. It's only 11:18 and all my written homework's done! XD
Such a rare occasion, I'm so proud. Sorry to keep this short. If you wanna know about my weekend or anything else I promised just ask me in case I don't get around to it. I wanna take advantage of the extra hours tonight! ^-^
Oh and my story's due tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback everyone! :D

work work work: Day 27
Page 7 of lab done. Started at 7, it's 11:14. I'm extremely tired and still have all my homework in my other classes to do after I finish this report. At least 2 pages to go. I dunno how my friends get it done so fast. I guess it just takes me longer to understand what I'm writing. Anyway, gotta finish before I collapse. I didn't go to my meet today because of my injured hip that I've yet to be able to explain on here. Tomorrow should be easier. We'll see how things play out.
until tomorrow, Will.
until tomorrow, Will.

Busy busy busy: Day 26
I wasn't able to get everything I had done last night because I was away all weekend. A few teachers gave me an extension, but I'm absolutely swamped tonight. I'll try 'an explain my weekend tomorrow night but I have a lab report due Wednesday that's going too be a real challenge. I'm afraid they'll be no legitimate post until maybe Thursday.
Also, with the start of the new month I might switch how I post with the post number used rather than the day (it's only 1 off now anyway.) only because it'll make more sense to anyone who might ever care in the distant future (won't happen but w/e XD)
Until the morrow then, Will.

Back home: Day 25
Okay technically it's my 24th post, but it's 25 days since I started so I'm going by that.
Clearly, I'm back home. And I'm swamped with homework so I'll keep it short tonight.
The retreat was really fun. A couple good guys from my school were there as candidates or peer leaders along with an amazing staff and just great people all around.Uh.. I really really have to get back to work so I'm not stuck up until 2 again. 'Specially since I got all of 6 hours of sleep the whole weekend: I'll explain.
So, until tomorrow,
Peace
PS. I didn't really want to cut it short like that tonight because I want to make sure I get everything down I remember from the last two days.
Here's a preview cause I'm tired and aren't paying attention to that I'm wasting more time! My meals:
Breakfast 1: Scrambled eggs, OJ + Hot cocoa, and bacon.
Lunch 1: Turkey/roast beef/cheese sandwiches, fruit punch, and bacon.
Dinner 1: Hot juicy chicken breasts with rice, rolls, wings, and bacon.
Breakfast 2: Hot pancakes covered in syrup and white powder sugar, sausages, rolls, OJ + Hot chocolate.
Lunch 2: Tons of ziti and Spaghetti with sauce and parmesan cheese. Also with the sweetest ice tea you couldn't even imagine, OJ/Fruit punch mix and fruit punch/lemonade mix.
Thanks Fay, it was great :D
EDIT: Why haven't Anna and Jenn posted since the 18th? They had two days I wasn't even here for and still nothing XD
Get on it!

See you space cowboy: Day 23
You'll probably see me use that title as a farewell periodically for however long I do this blog ahaha. I was quite the fan of Cowboy Bebop when it was airing on Adult Swim and before that lmao.
ANYWAY!
Got my clothes, got my bathroom stuff, got my music, and I've got my 12dollars worth of candy! :D
I'm heading off to the Cape tonight. God knows the travel will be brutal on a Friday night. Oh well, it shouldn't be that bad. I'm really tired so the bus ride should prove well spent. Um.. not much to go on about today. It's early clearly. I got up, went to school, went to the store, went home, packed, ate a delicious subway melt (t'was amazing: a toasted melt on italian herb & cheese with bacon and honey-mustard sauce, mmmm), and then I came and sat here!
I haven't tested blogger on my PSP yet but I'll give it a go. I'ma shower and head out.
Au revoir, Billy.

Is it even worth it?: Day 22
Well, is it worth it? I dunno you tell me ahaha.
Kind of a bad day, not really. I didn't really pay things much mind since I was tired from writing until 3:30 last night -O- . Plus I learned how much I have to make up and study in my classes. I think I said before how English is probably keeping me off honors this term. Bastard >:|
Something else that might not be worth it? Blogging XD
With the way things look around here, I'm the only one entirely up to date on the posting lmfao. No offence V, you've got a tougher schedule than me(And for some reason it always seems to be me with more issues[that I laugh about] LOL) Anna and Jenn haven't posted since the 18th. Lauren's been alive at least in comments ahaha: and she never vowed the once a day thing either.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/28/95809/RayneAndArlette.doc
Please read it! :D
That there is the rough draft to a short story I did for English class. Can someone reexplain to me why English kept me off honors after reading that LOL.
On a more serious not, I honestly do regret to inform- whoever decides to check this tonight that I will not be posting tomorrow, Saturday, but will most likely post on Sunday. Lucky me gets to go on a Church retreat for three days this weekend.
Jubilation.
Cell should be on while I'm away. I'll be farther east in Cape Cod starting tomorrow.
781-420-6895. If I don't answer then I'm out and I can't use it.
Let me know what you thought of the story in the comments or something.
MAYBE, maybe, I'll be able to post tomorrow if I can find wireless for my PSP and the site works well enough on it.
Best wishes everyone.
With agape, See you! :D

And he wrote late into the night: Day 21
-yawn- I'm tired again.
Not much to say today. I just kinda wanted the day to end all day because I've been so tired. Ummm... yeah.. Today: I got up, I went to school, went to track, came home, ate, went up, collapsed in bed, woke up, came down, started homework, posted blog.
Oh yeah, the title. Last night I was up really late writing my story and tonight should be even longer, so... Since the rough draft is due tomorrow I'll put it up with tomorrows post. Dunno how I'ma do that yet, but I'll figure something out. I'll probably put it on megaupload or something.
Cheerio ol' chaps,
Bill.

What day is it, 19? Nope, :Day 20
Brrr, I'm cold right now ahaha. Just wanted to throw that in as I realized it. Let me get you up to speed on some what I've been doing and why I've yet to post any art or a new layout or any of the things I want to do.
I'm swamped. Now everyone knows the kids at my school get a lot of homework. As is true for me, I have other reasons. For starters, I have less time for homework and school things because I'm involved in track now. In addition, as I may have mentioned before, I'm not all that bright. I may be in honors classes, mostly, but in the end it takes me a lot more time than most to get the work done and do it good. I can do it, which is why I do, but it takes a fair chunk of my time away from the things I'd like to do for myself. It's a shame too because I have all these ideas coming to be but I always forget to record them when I'm stuck in the mists of everything else LOL.
So, let my bring you up to speed.
Art: a million doodles, nothing worth showing since I can't get anything worth showing done.
Layout: I made a sketch layout for it, but I don't want to show that since the layout posting is planned to be a suprise.
Time management, my life, new years stuff, etc.: Getting better slowly, but slowly is still progress so I'm content.
Story: My story's due on Thursday now, a lot less time than previously mentioned. After I finish my Spanish tonight I'ma kick it into overdrive and crank out some fantasy violence all over the place! :D
Okay, I've received several haircut style suggestions in the last 24 hours. Few of which were actually legitimate. So.. I'm gonna ignore the things like pink liberty spikes and that random picture of aaron carter my cousin sent me and do some more browsing for myself. Readers, you're still more than welcome to help me out with it!
Hasta luego!

ATTENTION READERS!: Day 19
It was a good day. Lots of rest, not much homework, got a lot of food, and I got to see some friends. A lot more than a usual day before school. Unfortunately my legs still hurt.
Talked to my coach who told me to come to the meet and get checked out by a trainer tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. I can almost predict what they'll say already. It's pretty obvious. I fell, it got bruised, and running on it didn't help.
So anyway, I'm still doing homework now but I'm almost done. I'ma work through it fast and type out some more of my story for fun .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, what I need my 3 readers to do is this favor: Find me a hairstyle! LOL
My mom's finally making me get it cut. Wednesday.. or is it Thursday.. is the day. My hair's at least 6 inches all around and doesn't look that great. I HATE having short hair, but contrary to my liking it must be fixed. So, find me a picture of somethin' cool that school will accept. Try to avoid anything that involves straightening etc. since I'd never have the time nor degrade myself by doing that. THANKS.

Learning to walk: Day 18
-yawn-
Today wasn't a bad day. Overall at least. If you wanna get picky, and you're damn right that I do, it was really annoying and painful. Here's what I got to feel today: Wake up, on my face, on my lip, which is slit open. Came out, got a nice cooked breakfast from my father(really good. it was eggs bacon and toast[classis ;D]), it singed my tongue pretty bad. In addition, my knee was really stretched out and aching. And my other knee is just a mess from yesterday.
I really hate to complain- though I catch myself doing it a lot. Most of the time I don't really mean to complain and it's not really bothering me, I just want to lay down the truth for myself so I'll stop effing up ahaha.
Did some doodles today revolving around a story I'm writing (forgot if I mentioned that) and I spent the day reading, watching football, watching the Blair Witch Project and it's sequel, and then playing clue. So it wasn't a bad day. I got to catch up on some rest. I'm gonna go finish up what I have for homework (hopefully) so I can go out tomorrow.
See ya space cowboy :D

Cloverfield:Day 17
O. M. G.
oh my God, Cloverfield- best movie ever.
Alright, I was extremely skeptical going into it. I didn't really feel like being there. I was injured and bleeding- I'll get into that- and I just wasn't planning on having a grand time. Dead wrong, t'was amazing. For starters the theater was packed and it was wicked funny cause people were moaning and screaming out loud everywhere XD. I cried out in a whiny voice for my dad saying things like "DAD?!" "WHERE'S MY DAD?!" etc. I was laughing really hard. But aside from that the movie was amazing. Production value = 100%. A+. It was filmed through the video camera of a pedestrian and a group of friends so there wasn't really a history for the monster which I was really looking for. I was mad at the end, not because of the subtlety and the mystery you're left with, but the fact that a lot of people booed as if they expected something more to see. The ending fit perfectly I think. Highly recommended.
But on a lighter note, more painful note..., kinda bad note, I had practice at 8 this morning which didn't go that well. We went to run hills today, and the freezing temperatures left for a lot of ice. I slid over one and was getting ready to pick it up again, but my first step off I hit some black ice and just went down on my leg. Wonderful. I felt fine, it didn't seem to hurt that bad, but before I started my next block I stopped and rolled up my pant leg to see a stream of blood pouring outa my torn knee cap. Lovely. I cleaned it with clean snow the best I could, and I was even going to maybe go the block again, but as soon as I started jogging the bleeding got much worse. So I walked back slowly with another friend of mine who got jumped yesterday and got injured- that's a funny story. Some kid wanted to go after his ipod touch while he was running back alone. He hit my friend with a metal pipe but my friend just started to run faster. The second he touched his ipod he absolutely decked the kid, must've broken his nose. But anyway, I was walking back. We were bored from the slowness so we turned it into a walking race: ie: Get back before the blood stream reaches my sock. I lost v-v. It was really bleeding bad which sucked. I just washed it off went to Dunkin Donuts after.
So, I learned that I can tolerate a lot more pain then I used to. Course that didn't make up for the extreme misery I face eating several Warheads at once with a torn up lip too XD Boy was that fun.
Avoir!

Day 16: Day 16
Well, 16 days is up already. To be honest I'd nearly forgotten about this deadline of mine for a good while now. What does this mean for The Daily Traverses of William F(Current Blog name which I'm likely to change 50 times and again -O-)? Well if that comment on the name didn't make it obvious for ya, I'll let ya know that I'm going to be continuing with it. Of course, now that my 'required' time is over, there may be nights where I'd miss a post simply because nothings happened.
I just woke up by the way. I fell asleep around 6ish and was woken up by my brother coming home around 11. Turns out a bunch of my friends were over but I completely missed that. Other that that... today wasn't too different from yesterday or the last few days. Got up, was almost late for school, worked all day, got a ton of homework, went to track where I may have accidentally ran more than I should have because a friend didn't tell me where I was going.
So in the last 16 days, keeping track of my life for the general public has helped me realize a few things about and for myself. I got to see how varying my life can actually be. I actually noticed myself getting stressed for once, completely new experience. I think I learned just a little bit more responsibility and helped increase my goal setting standards.
OH, about the layout. I'm too tired to start it tonight. And yes I could start it tonight because I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK! ^-^
Unhello.

Normal: Day 15
Today was a normal day. Seems like it's been a since there's been one. Of course there were some exceptions to the day as there always are. For one I had to make up a Spanish test after school and ended up running 6 miles all by my lonesome. Besides that... just a long day, midterm tomorrow. I gotta write part of a story tonight, maybe I'll post that when it's done. Anyway I've got a lot to do so I'll keep this short. Updates on my life: Gotta bring English grade back up: thought I could sacrifice it a little but I was wrong. Oh well,
Ciao everyone.
Ciao everyone.

Youth Group: Day 14
You may or may not know that I'm going to be making my Confirmation this year. I am a Catholic; not the most faithful but I consider myself one. As part of preparation, I'm joined up with this youth group called GOF, Generations of Faith, that meets every few Sundays for classes but meets every Wednesday for some sort of fun event thing: usually just hanging around in the rec hall, but occasionally some different things like a campfire, pumpkin carving, or as in tonight, a party.
"Party?" I asked, remembering how long it had been since I'd been to one. "Oh yeah, at IC, the group's going to have some cake and food and music going in the old rectory." was my reply. "Awesome," I returned, "I'll try to be there." -called up a few friends who used to go to it, they said they were already planning on showing up, and so off I went.
"Party?" I asked, trying to remember if the party's I used to go to began with Bohemian Rhapsody and passing around a notion of prayer to introduce myself. "Well, yeah... we're going to do some activities, then we'll probably have cake and food or something."
Well, we started off with prayer, I obviously didn't mind that. Then we introduced ourselves- kinda odd but I payed it no mind. Then we played "the hearing game" which was originally supposed to be a trick on something to embarrass them but it expectedly didn't work out.
Things were getting kinda boring as we finished "find a friend bingo"(I found no such friend) and began some other crap. Well, the aim of the next thing was to have two people on opposite ends of a tube filled with water. They two would blow into the ends and try to get it out on the other. One group went. Haha. Two groups went. Heh... . *volunteers* goes up, *friend volunteers* (thinks to self, oh boy...) I go up, we're about to begin, *fabricates a plan* 3, 2- 1! He blows! I don't. I open my mouth, take in as much water as I could, and then sprayed it out all over him@! Ahahaha. Fun time. I set off a trend of people spraying each other and the audience after, so I got my fill of destruction(I usually don't try anything like that)
After that things got boring and I went home. SO! Why did I rant about all that? Well to be honest, I took home every book in my locker today because I needed each one for a different assignment tonight and It's ridiculous and I don't wanna work on it.
I promise that I'll either post a picture of my books tonight later on or with tomorrows post seeing as I'm gonna be up all night anyway.
Cheers, Will.

After that things got boring and I went home. SO! Why did I rant about all that? Well to be honest, I took home every book in my locker today because I needed each one for a different assignment tonight and It's ridiculous and I don't wanna work on it.
I promise that I'll either post a picture of my books tonight later on or with tomorrows post seeing as I'm gonna be up all night anyway.
Cheers, Will.

Back to the routine: Day 13
Well, back at school again. I didn't get too much homework tonight, but after track I was really tired so I fell asleep for a few hours. I also soaked my leg and hip for a while, makes me wonder if my body is physically capable of the work I'm doing. I know I can do it, but I'm wondering if what's supposed to be helping me now is hurting me in the long run. Oh well, I'll dwell on that later.
Now, here's what I thought of for a layout thus far:
What I wanna do is kind of a.. false panel thing. Since I'm not sure how to set up a page to remain a certain length or separate things with scroll bars/page breaks, what I think I'm gonna do is set up an image that has design that stretches over the whole page. So like, a section of the background will appear to be a back drop for the nav bar(editing the fonts to either fit the background better or using photoshopped images for the links designed to fit in their place over the background). The same idea goes for the posts and whatnot. a general background design with a kind of backdrop for where the posts will extend to. Unfortunately, though you are able to limit the amount of posts showing, the lengths of said posts varies every day. Anyway, I'll look up some html for that kinda thing later and I'll think about what kinda thing I want for an image.
Suggestions welcome as always. V, if you still remember that idea then throw it my way

Snow Day:Day 12
Early post tonight.
Well, today was a snow day. We got about a foot and it was pretty fun to watch it coming down at 3am last night by the street light out my bedroom window. Things seem to be getting better timewise. The clockworks of my schedule seem to be fitting together quite well now and all I can say about the recent days is that I was just overstressed. For those who don't know me well, you'd probably agree that stress doesn't seem to part of my character and up until the other day I would have been right behind you. In fact.. I still am. I was never stressed, stressed is just a myth. I was just overtired from not going to sleep before 1am for the last 3 years ;D
Now, I still haven't found time for everything. If you check my facebook you can see I did some quick graffitis to brush up on using my tablet and working with opacity. I didn't run today, nor did I yesterday. I think that when I'm done with this paper I'm workin' on I'll go run for 45 minutes of so just to turn my legs over. It's always bad to stop a few days before a long run.
I came up with an idea earlier which is why I wanted to post earlier tonight(so I wouldn't forget). I don't know how far in depth Blogger lets you go with customization, but I want to design and CG a background and layout for my post. Something cartoony but something that works with.. me being me.
Any suggestions drop me a line in the comments.
Peace foos!

Homework?:Day 11
I slept til 2:30 today. It felt great.
After that, I didn't really feel super well so I stayed inside. I didn't run either. I'm gonna have to end this soon cause I just woke up again and realized how close it was to midnight. Anyway, no school tomorrow. Supposed to get 10+ inches of snow: iz a noreaster. I drew some pictures today as well as read a fair amount into harry potter 7. Oh and I was invited to go to anime boston with a kid on myspace. I don't think I'll be going but I let 'em know I'd love to see the photos of their deathnote cosplay ahaha.

Workout: Day 10
. . .
[6:30] *beep* *beep* *beep* "... auggggghhhhh..."
*Crash*
. . .
"...auggghhhhh... " *ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz*
[7:57] "BILLY COMON WE GOTTA GO!"
*frantic scambling*
[8:03] "Good we're here"
-Workout-
Ahahaha, that was morning if you haven't guessed. Got there just after they started, it was no big deal. Course I didn't know what I was in for. "Bill, you're doin' four sets of 600 meters, race pace. Then take a few minutes, let your heart rate slow back to 110, then I want you to go two 400s with 36 second splits for the 200s." "AUGGGHHHH" So, we ran 3 warm up laps round the track, ran about 2 miles after that for a.. second warm up I guess. Got back, did what we had to do. My times for the 600s weren't spectacular, but my splits ranged from 31-35 so I was feelin' pretty proud then- dead, but proud. So we did some hurtles and then called it a day. I hadn't eaten and I was literally about to collapse by the end. I held on though cause we got to go to iHop XD. Kinda random since we usually go to a small place near by that has pretty good stuff, but it was worth the 30 minute wait.
I got home about noon today, I was really tired. I played around online for a little while, then my cousin came over. Him and my brother's watched Superbad for the umpteenth time so I wasn't really up to that again. So, I read 150 pages in Harry Potter 7 which I was amazed to have time for :D
After that.. i played some Jelly-man-fighting-multiplayer-game on newgrounds with a friend of mine. Then I went upstairs and took a bath since my leg was throbbing from earlier. I was gonna go back downstairs but I was tired and everyone was screaming 'cause of the the Pats game. So I went to bed but ended up staying awake to watch the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ahaha. I didn't like it. Kinda comical, but the story structure for a film just kinda ruined the book. Was it a book? I don't know really I just assumed it did cause the film was kinda choppy and seemed to force a lot of stuff together. Poor Arthur Dent, he failed at life :D
Anyway this is getting kinda lengthly and I'd hate to waste too much of my friend's time. Peace.

Thor's Hammer!: Day 9
Thunderstorm today. In January, weird. It was pretty intense in the morning but turned to just rain all afternoon.
Classes seemed like they would never end today. I have to make up a Spanish test and a quiz, plus some math homework I missed when I was out. I ran with my friend who joined track yesterday after quitting bball, so running was a little more fun today. Specially since with the rain we kinda of took the incentive to turn back a little earlier. I felt bad that another kid we were with who went ahead a bit didn't come with us on our little.. deviation from the road. Oh well, we still did 6 as opposed to the 7.5 we were supposed to. We all felt sick and two us us were injured anyway.
I spend the afternoon until about 9:30 at my friend's house playing call of duty 4 on xbox live which was incredible. I really couldn't thank him and his father enough for letting me join them in going out to eat at the 99, which I'd never been to before. It was good. I was only going to get something small but he told me not to be modest so I ordered the prime rib which is what he got. Man I'm tired, I'll probably head out soon. I'm doodling right now. Still haven't really found the time to work on a good picture, but I'm workin' on it. I would start a drawing and try to finish it another time, but after I stop drawing something, it's almost impossible to get the inspiration or feeling I had back from when I started. Anyway, good night everyone :D

Mmmmm Sleeeeepp: Day 8
I got to sleep today :D
You may recall that I said I had a lot to do last night. Well, that lot kept me up until 3:45am so I was feeling really tired and sick in the morning. JUBILATIONS! An excuse to sleep. I stayed home and slept for 5+ hours. I really needed it. Reading my post from yesterday made me realize how bad it was really getting by the whole sadness theme it had XD
I made a lot of good points, I think, so Ima keep with 'em. Things have just been kinda hectic lately so I'll be kinda annoyed for a while. Anyway, not much to say other than that I'm headin out soon. I have a midterm in Theology tomorrow and a hard chemistry test by the looks of the chapter.
Jolly good, good night :D

Workaholic: Day 7
Do I work too much? Schoolwise, sure. School's ridiculous. I'm not naturally a genius and I'm one of the few I know who take the extra time to do things right so I'll remember them when I have to. 'Course that doesn't mean that I'm any good in class, but I try ahaha. My backpack easily weights 25-35 pounds, not even kidding. I have a pretty large bag, but it's still a challenge to fit things in it day after day. So many books even that my bag ends up looking like a cloth cube slung over my shoulder. Am I complaining? No, I'm not really annoyed or upset about it. I knew it wanna gonna happen when I decided to go to my school as well as it would some nights at other places.
Anyway, since starting track I've found that I don't have much time for anything else besides that and schoolwork. I haven't been able to hang out with my friends in several weeks now, and it's starting to catch up with me. I don't get to sit with them much at lunch because the few hours I have at home aren't enough to let me get all my work done, and I only have team members with similar assignments. It's not that I don't see them because we don't have classes together, because we never did to begin with. It's just that I'm too busy. Looking at myself in the mirror today I found my eyes looking almost bloodshot with bags under my eyes. I like what I do, but it's weighing down hard. I'm adjusting, but I'm gonna have to find work again soon so things are only gonna get more hectic.
-yawn- I have about 6 more assignments left tonight. Guess it was a bad decision to try an' catch up on some sleep for once after school today. I'll be running hills as steep as this slash mark / tomorrow about or 7 times so I'm really gonna need the rest I can't get.
I just decided now that I'm going to institute a list of things that I need to organize more time for:
Friends
Sleep
Art
Homework improvement
Job
Internet work[I sometimes help administrate an online game on the off chance I have some time and no one's able to go out. I don't really worry about the players much, I make maps for the game areas and events]
I'm gonna have to keep reminding myself of these things, so if anyone is ever reading through my blogs some day, don't get annoyed by the reoccurring list ;D

Normal day?: Day 6
*yawn* Still tired -O-
Today was a normal day for the most part. I found myself dozing off a lot which wasn't really a good thing. I think I did like 6 or 7 doodles in Spanish class today XD
I had a track meet earlier. It was alright. We knew we stood little chance but it was a good change of pace to try running only for PRs for ourselves. I was supposed to run the 1000 meter and 4x400 meter relay but I only ended up doing the relay. I know few people will ever read this, but as you may have guessed I wasn't really serious about hiding who I am on here. It's really a good learning experience to actually reflect on the day. Looking back just since I started this and my life doesn't seem half as boring as I made it out today. Anyway, the meet, I ran a 3:11 in the 1000 which is a 4 second pr from last week and 6 from the week before.
It was kinda funny and ironic that before the events started, a couple friends and myself were joking about the girls there and how we couldn't get any if we tried cause they simply just aren't interested in us. Well... when I went back to my bleachers and started getting some of my stuff together it just so happens that a girl was looking to talk to me XD
She seemed nice and was pretty, but I don't think we'll be hitting it off outside the track center just because of the distance between us and the mountains of work that keep my busy. I'm not gonna worry much about it, still a little early to worry 'bout dying alone ahaha ;D
Anyway, I've got a stack of books in front of me that need to be worked through for the night. Also I'm dead tired so I didn't wanna spend much time typing this out.
Oh also I was talking to a friend of mine who said he quit basketball to join track with me! XD I'll know more people on the team now, even though we all know each other pretty well now ;D

-Yawn- :Day 5
Worked on homework until about 1:30 last night, then had to get up and be in school at 6:45 to finish something I had forgotten in school. The day was long and more boring than usual, even for a Monday.
After classes I had track practice like every day. The snow on the field was all clear now so we had room and time for several stride exercises and some other things. I only went 4 and a half miles today since we have a meet tomorrow, but on top of everything else I've been extremely tired all day. Oh and tomorrow where I usually just do the 1000m race, I'll also be doing the 4x400 meter relay. The team we're facing is like fourth in the state, so we don't expect to beat them. The guys I'm running with aren't the all star team we usually put in these races. I'm no all star myself, just sayin'.
So anyway, here I sit, at 11:10(currently) writing this blog with other things left to do. I should have been in bed an hour ago because of the meet, but as usual I've been overloaded with catholic school honors work and am forced to stay up til' the wee hours of the morning.
Jubilation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And for the record, I'm not saying this in my head as depressing as it sounds to read it ahaha. I'm always laughing or smiling about something, so everything'll work out :D
Oh! Also, about the thing that happened yesterday, I'm not really gonna get into it much more. My folks don't know 'bout it, and I have no intention in telling them unless the attacks continue and the police call my house since I'm a possible suspect. Cursed urge to chase my brother around the corner like a rhino! ;;-.-

Crazy day: Day 4
Okay, runnin' late, gotta be fast here.
Today was nuts. Didn't seem like it til' later in the day, but let me elaborate. About 4 this afternoon, my cousin, brother, and I decided to walk down to the store. On the way we were impersonating Bear Grills or w/e his name is from Man vs. Wild or Survivorman, whichever he's from. So at one point, we're all laughing, and I put my hands to my head like horns, and charged my brother like a rhino- weird yes, but I'll explain the significance in a minute. So we go to the store, everything's all hunky dory, and we're all our way back. When we got to a hill we needed to take to get home, a car was speeding toward us rapidly down. I was about to say they were going way too fast when they had past us, but they didn't. The guy got out, and started screaming, "HEY, WHICH ONE'A YOU GUYS BEEN GOIN' AROUND SLASHING TIRES?! MY GIRLFRIEND SAID SHE SAW YOU GUYS BENDIN DOWN AROUND HER CAR!" Now we had no idea what they were talking about and thought it was a joke. Perplexed, my brother and cousin said they had no idea and proceded to state their innocent by showing everything they had in their pockets. I thought the guy was a fool so I didn't empty anything, or move. I was about to walk away when he said he was calling the cops to let them handle us. I said, "FINE! LET THEM COME, THEN WE'LL ALL GET TO SEE HOW MUCH OF AN IDIOT YOU ARE!" So they came. Proceding with questioning and searching, followed with ridiculous accusations of us saying stuff like "You won't do it!" to each other outside of their house near their driveway, things came to prove that we hadn't done anything, and that our records were all clean. These cops know all the maplewood kids, minus me cause I'm not some dumb ass drugged up teenager, so they took our names to get things straight and said we were clear. Turned out the girlfriend is the older sister of a friend of mine, Bill.
Funny how the innocent ones round here seem to the only ones getting any shit. Now I'm in police logs for the first time ever, and because of some retard the police are gonna be on top of everything I do round here from now on- which isn't really much.
Worst timing ever.
Oh and remember the rhino thing I did? That turned out to be the thing she thought she saw us bending down for -O-
God I hate this town. Oh well, it's home ;D
My apologies for all the mistakes in here. It's almost the 7th!

It's Saturday?: Day 3
Today was Saturday, I guess.
Well today was the invitational freshman/sophomore track meet, where I was supposed to run in the 1000 meter race. I woke up about 9, the meet started at 8:30, and I got ready to meet my coach at my school at 10 since my race wouldn't be until about 1pm anyway. So, after rushing out the door, meeting my coach and three of my team mates, I arrived at the meet place ready to win. I knew I was going to have a good shot today since I was running only with other sophomores. With my average time in the 1000, I could have easily been in the top 20s for the state. (I run about 3:10 on average right now. No where near states, I know, but I'm fairly new to all this.) My teammate runs very well and could have easily pulled off a 2:50, which would have put him 3 seconds ahead in first in the states, but after our warm up we found that our coach had missed the call for the boys 1000 and that we were too late to sign in. I wasn't really traumatized or whatever since I'm new and my time isn't fantastic, but my friend was really mad about it. He knew the race was his. Luckily he was able to dominate in the 4 x 400 meter relay.
So I ended up w/o a race to run and my Saturday was completely shot, seeing as I got home at 5, had to eat, had to run on my own, and shower. Thankfully I was able to spend a few hours at my cousin's house playing guitar hero and some game called "apples to apples" which I lost.
Now I'm home and tired, probably gonna hit the hay before midnight for the first time in three years tonight. Tomorrow's Sunday, I have Church followed by an overwhelmingly large amount of homework. All boys Catholic high schools really pack on the pounds with books every night. -O-
I've revealed pretty much all there is about me now. Age, school info, interests/hobbies, friends through my comments, and w/e else I babbled on about before. Interesting, it's like talking to a shrink that doesn't care what you think ahaha. Or who responds to you... or is alive.. or even in existence for that matter. Oh well, at least I know I'm not gonna end up crazy and calling my blog an obscure name like Wilson...
Well today was the invitational freshman/sophomore track meet, where I was supposed to run in the 1000 meter race. I woke up about 9, the meet started at 8:30, and I got ready to meet my coach at my school at 10 since my race wouldn't be until about 1pm anyway. So, after rushing out the door, meeting my coach and three of my team mates, I arrived at the meet place ready to win. I knew I was going to have a good shot today since I was running only with other sophomores. With my average time in the 1000, I could have easily been in the top 20s for the state. (I run about 3:10 on average right now. No where near states, I know, but I'm fairly new to all this.) My teammate runs very well and could have easily pulled off a 2:50, which would have put him 3 seconds ahead in first in the states, but after our warm up we found that our coach had missed the call for the boys 1000 and that we were too late to sign in. I wasn't really traumatized or whatever since I'm new and my time isn't fantastic, but my friend was really mad about it. He knew the race was his. Luckily he was able to dominate in the 4 x 400 meter relay.

The Saga Continues: Day 2.
Back again tonight, not much to say as will usually be the case. I didn't mention previously that I run track, but i figured I'd put down today that I have a race tomorrow; so we'll see how that goes.
I do have a funny story to tell tonight though: I went to see Sweeney Todd. As I've said before I'm only 16, and like a lot of places are nowadays, the security for minors was ridiculous. I was with my brother and my friend, everyone else had to bail, and my friend's father was with us. He took our cash and got our tickets, phase 1. Phases 2 present a problem for us. I handed my ticket to the dastardly gate guardian, but she didn't buy any of our ages. So my friends father chimes in, "Hey no, it's okay- Their mother's in the theater already, we're divorced so I'm just dropping them off..." She still didn't let us through so he kept playing his story on, "Hey listen, I'm not tryin' to be a problem. My ex wife is in there, there's just a lot of bad chemistry between us that I don't wanna have to worry about" She called "Steve" over on her radio, and my friends father wasted no time approaching 'Steve' rather than wait for him to come over. He repeated his story, and Steve suggested he go in, just point her out, and then we could be let through. So Steve and my friends father walk away making us worry since of course he had no wife to point out, we're all aware he's happily married! A few minutes later, we see him come back, Steve walking behind him. He gives us a wink and a smile and says that we're all set. Before heading home he told us, "Hey just in case he asks who your mother is, look up towards center left, I picked out this big black one for ya'!"
Ahahaha, man did that make my day.
On a more serious note, seeing as I'm a blogger now, I think I'll find some time to put some of my artwork up here. I'm not uber-talented, but hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere.
Peace.

A blog?!
Why blog? Why not? Several of my friends already do[I hate conforming ;P], and while I may not be particularly interested in mapping out my life for the world to see, in support of my friends I will subject myself to such... exposure. So! Without further ado, allow me to introduce myself. My name is William, often referred to as Billy, sometimes Bill, and less commonly, Will. There's not much I should say, seeing as I will most probably reveal myself quite thoroughly with later installments of my day to day. However, I'll give you this: I'm 16, a sophomore, athletically built, Catholic, 5'8", and as mutt I'm proud to call myself Irish/Italian/Scottish Canadian/Portuguese/ and most likely more than that.
For now, I'm out. More school to deal with tomorrow as always.
