The funeral for the person I wrote about in the previous entry was yesterday. It took place in a town about an hour and a half away from here. It’s where the girl was born. Even though it was out of town, there were still a lot of people who took the trip there - including me. I went there with a few friends, so there were some pretty fun times on the way there. I guess we were sort of subconsciously putting off what was coming up. The funeral was really tough. The whole thing didn’t really hit me until the casket was being wheeled out. The whole cemetary thing was so sad. A grandmother, I believe, at the cemetary completely broke down there and it was just heartbreaking. It just felt so weird that we were burying “one of us.” It shouldn’t be like that. Not now. I don’t know.

Changing subjects… who watched Grey’s Anatomy tonight?! Pretty intense. That’s pretty much all I”m going to say about the episode so don’t worry about spoilers if you don’t want to know what happened. I’ve yet to watch the final conclusion to The OC tonight. I’m not too concerned about it - if I see it, I see it - otherwise, no big deal. I’ve really lost interest in it, this season especially, and hearing that it got cancelled didn’t really surprise me.

Has anyone heard the new Anberlin album, Cities? I haven’t been able to pick up the disc yet since apparently it’s not released in Canada until next Tuesday, the week after initial release, but I do already have all the songs on my computer. I’m pretty happy with it. I’d have to say that my favorite song off the album is The Unwinding Cable Car so I suggest you give that a listen. You can hear that, along with the rest of the album on Anberlin’s myspace page.

That’s about all for now - Travis out.

Blah. I really should write on here more often but I always have trouble thinking of what exactly to write.

Speaking of having trouble thinking of what to write, that was just the case with my english essay that was due this past Friday. We had roughly 2 entire weeks to work on the essay in class. That was the only thing we were working on - just the essay. So by nature, I’m a talkative person. I make conversation when there shouldn’t be any. That doesn’t come in handy when you should be working on important assignments. So 2 weeks and a few good conversations later, I come to the realization that the essay is due the next day and I haven’t written one word down yet. Not on the prewriting things. Not on anything. So okay, no real big problem. I’ve written entire essays in one night before. I can do it again. So to most people in my class’ surprise, I walked into class the next day and handed in a complete essay. Of course they all knew that I hadn’t done anything for the past two weeks. I do have a rather loud voice, after all. So I handed the essay in and then found out, along with most of the rest of the class, that we actually had time that day to work on it and the essay was actually due at the end of class. Oh well. The 4 or so other people who were done stayed back in the classroom and had another oh-so-exciting conversation about random things while the rest of the class finished up in the computer lab. So wait - I, of all people, was one of the very few who was actually prepared and done beforehand? Ironic much? I think so. I’ve yet to get the mark for it back.

Tomorrow I’m going to be DJing a dance. In the middle of the week? A Tuesday?! Honestly. That’s just ridiculous. I do go to school, people. I need sleep too. I can’t be up all night doing some dance that definitely won’t really be worth having. This was a dreaded event last year, and I’m not getting my hopes up that it’ll be much better this year. Oh well. I guess it’ll give the two people I DJ with and myself something to do.

That’s about it. Hopefully I’ll get another entry in here long before another month has passed. Oh yeah - we had our first real snow today. Real in that I think it’s actually sticking around. No pun intended. Har har har. The snow seems to just.. make things seem warmer inside. It’s sort of hard to describe. A friend and I had a chat about this earlier. On the snow note, I came relatively close to hitting the ditch on the way to school this morning. Haha… that was interesting. I was pretty calm throughout the ordeal so that sort of made it funny. Okay.. seriously.. that’s it. Goodbye.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written anything here. Apparently I’ve just been occupied with other things until now.

A week ago and a bit ago, meaning not this past Wednesday but the one before that, my school’s SRC, which I’m part of, went to a provincial conference. It was a pretty good time. Basically all we did was listen to speakers, but they all had interesting things to say, so it didn’t really get boring or anything. My billet family was pretty cool. Luckily I wasn’t stuck with some old creeper people. haha. We got back home around 6pm on that Friday.

On Monday, since I had missed the passed couple of days of school - one of those days involving a test in Physics - I had to write that test, which I didn’t study for, as usual. I did much better than I felt I had done. I was happy with the 88 I got.

I seem to have picked up a bit of a cold somtime around Wednesday or Thursday of this past week. It’s nothing too bad, but it’s irritating. Hopefully it’ll clear up pretty soon. Perhaps a night on the town tonight will help? I think so. I was too lazy to bother heading out yesterday, so hopefully that’ll happen tonight. haha.

The season premier of Grey’s Anatomy was on Thursday. I was really pumped for it, but I was definitely at least a little disappointed with the episode. Oh well. I still love the show and will continue to wath it faithfully. Also on Thursday was the season premier of CSI. Just regular ‘ole CSI in Vegas. One of the ‘cases’ involved a Cirque du Soleil show, or so the info on my satellite said. That sort of drew me into the show, and got me curious as to whether they’d be in one of the real theaters. When the camera showed the audience area of the theater, I was greeted with a familiar space - the KA theater, which I was in when I was in Las Vegas last November. (It was really cool, by the way.) Not really a big deal, but I thought it was pretty cool that I’d been there. haha. :P

That’s about all I have to say… so… yeah. Ta ta.

I think I’m going to try to start writing my entries how I would actually explain them in person. Apparently, I’ve gotten away from actually doing that. Sorry if I pile the sarcasm on. It’s just how I roll.

Okay, so school’s been alright so far. Actually, not really, but I guess I can deal with it. Bio’s boring. English is boring. Physics is meh. Math is not bad. I usually like sciences and maths, thus why I can somewhat endure Physics and Math. Basically though - my spare/s is/are the highlight of my day. Hopefully next semester won’t be quite so boring.

This past weekend was a long weekend. Not because it was boring, but because it was actually a day longer, in case you weren’t sure on that one. I can’t say I did anything all too exciting throughout, other than the party on Saturday night which was a rather good time. Good drinking times. Oh, the memories… or lack thereof. For the most part though - memories.

The MTV VMA’s were on last week. They don’t seem half as interesting as they once did. It’s as if they’ve just… lost what made them special,, which I can’t really put a finger on right now. Anyways - nothing exciting. If you didn’t catch them, you didn’t miss anything too exciting.

Yesterday, (I think.. that’s when I found out anyways) Steve Irwin, perhaps better known as The Crocodile Hunter, died while filming a new documentary. A stingray’s barb punctured his heart. It seems sort of weird since obviously what he did for a living was really dangerous, but it just never seemed as though he would get hurt doing it. RIP.

Ughh.. tomorrow I’ve got to get up early to be at school for an SRC meeting. Oh well. They can be pretty amusing given the people who are part of the meetings. haha.

That’s all of from me. Have a good one.

The smell in my car (read my previous entry if you don’t know what I’m referring to) seems to have gone away. Me washing down the mats with the hose seems to have helped considerably. My parents haven’t seemed to notice so all seems to be okay.

I watched Blow earlier today with Johnny Depp. I haven’t seen the (entire) movie in years and I forgot how good it was. Well, in my opinion, anyways. You should watch it if you haven’t already.

I’ve got a dentist appointment tomorrow in the AM, so that means me and mother dearest have to leave here around 7:15-7:30 to get there in time. (I go to a dentist in another city, by the way. That’s why we have to leave so early.) Some people really hate the dentist, though personally I don’t have too much of a problem with it. Really the biggest problem about the situation is that I’m going to have to wake up much earlier than I’d like to. Oh well. I haven’t been out of my little hick town for awhile so I guess a little day trip will be nice.

Has anybody heard Snakes On A Plane (Bring It) by Cobra Starship? It’s got members of a few different bands, including the lead singer of The Academy Is…. I find the tune quite catchy and I couldn’t stop listening to it for a few days. It’s (obviously) for the new movie, Snakes On A Plane. Dar dar dar.

I think that’s about all for now. Ta ta.
