Today started out great, but of course it all plummeted downward
in a hurry. I got up and rode to class today. Not only was it
a short day of classes for me, but my second class wasn't meeting
today. After I got out of my first class, I walked on back to
my bike quite happily that I was done for the day at such an early
hour. Then things took a turn for the worst. I took off on my
bike, and as I tried to stop, my front wheel lost traction or
something, and the bike hurled me at the ground quite harshly.
I banged my head up pretty well, but I got up and shook it all
off, thanks to my helmet. Some guy helped me get my bike back
up on its wheels, and I started to look over what had happened.
I completely wrecked it. My right mirror was gone, along with
my right turn signal. The whole upper part of the right fairing
was scratched and worn, and there were big cracks everywhere.
I walked around and picked up every last piece of plastic I could
find, in the vain hope that I could glue them back together and
make my bike pretty again. Parts were scratched, parts were cracked,
parts were broken, parts were worn, and parts were bent. A campus
cop saw me and stopped to see if I was alright. He offered to
write up a report on it, but I declined. I got my bike started
again for a little while, but then it flooded. After just a short
while, Chris, a guy in my speech class, saw me and stopped to
help. I pushed my bike over to the side of a parking lot, and
then he was nice enough to give me a ride back home. I showered
and nursed my wounds before getting dressed again and walking
to Angie Jennings's house. Her mom took us out shopping after
a little while, first to Fred's, then to Wal-Mart, and then to
Auto Zone. Angie got some stuff for her car, and I got some candy.
We sat around her house for a while until her older brother, James,
came by to help their middle brother, Michael, install his new
car stereo. Just about then my sister pulled up with the car.
I took her home and brought the car back so I would have something
to drive to work. I stayed for couple minutes before heading back
home to change and go to work. It hurt running around so much
with so many soar spots, but I managed. I got out a bit later
than I wanted to, and I'm scheduled to close tomorrow night, but
I suppose that's just how things go. When I got home, nobody had
done anything to help me out with my bike, so I guess I'll just
be dropping my sister off at school tomorrow. The end of the month
has really creeped up on me, and I've been horrible about keeping
this site updated. I promise I'll try to do better next time.
In the mean time, if anyone would like to donate to the "Zellie
Fix-a-Bike" fund, please feel free to send money and motorcycle
parts to:

and I'll even talk to your creator about some brownie points.

Today's been a pretty decent day. I got up and went to class.
After that, I went out to breakfast. A couple guys stopped by
to talk to me about my bike and went out to look at it. Then I
headed to Papa John's for a little while. One of the guys was
out of gas, so I went to meet Angie Jennings as she was going
to take her driver's test. She didn't have her glasses, so she
had to run home to get them. I went back to the store and borrowed
my boss's truck to run home for a gas can. I went back to the
store to give the guy the gas he needed, and then went back to
class. When it was over, I went to lunch for a while, and then
went to my last class. After I was done with that, I went back
by Papa John's for a while. I was doing a bit of work when Angie
came by to see me. When I finished my work, I went home to drop
off my things, and went riding to find them. I caught up to them
and we stopped at Auto Zone. Then I followed them around until
they got back home. I went home to get the other helmet, got Angie,
and then we went by Jared Fitzgibbon's house. He wasn't home,
so we went to the Suzuki shop for oil filter. After that, we went
around to some different places so I could shop for a cell phone.
I didn't get one, and we finally went back to Angie's house. It
was getting cold, so we took her car to my house and then went
to Travis Simpson's house. We sat with him for a little while
before he had to go to church, so we went back to my house. It
wasn't too long before it was time for us to meet him at his church.
We all went to Wal-Mart and got some drinks and snacks, and then
came back to my house to watch Invader Zim. After a couple episodes,
I had to take Angie home. I came back home and wound up falling
asleep. I woke up later when Travis said something, so I took
him back to his truck, came back home, and went to sleep.

I got up today and went to class. After we got out, I went to
my next class for a test. I got done in about 15 minutes and went
with Jeff McMullen to his house. We were hanging out there when
a couple girls came running up to his house. They ran on in and
convinced him to give them a ride to someone's house. He dropped
me back off by my bike, and I followed them to wherever they were
going. When that was over, we went by a bike that was for sale
down the road. Jeff drooled over it for a bit, and then we went
back to his house and dropped the girls off. He had to go back
to class, so I headed out. I went by Travis Simpson's house because
I saw his truck out in the driveway. The front door was unlocked,
so I went on in figuring he was up playing video games or something.
To my surprise, he wasn't home, so I went by work for a little
while to see how things were going. Then I went to Angie Jennings's
house before going back to lunch, and then my last class. After
class, I went back by Angie's, and we took her car out driving.
We went to Tech for some things, and then went to get an air filter
and wiper blades for her car. We stopped by Papa John's to show
off her car, and wound up taking Joey, a friend of mine from work,
around to run some errands. He got a new part for his truck that
had broken down, and then took him home. Finally we went back
by Angie's, where I got my backpack and took my bike back home.
I brought the car back to her house so we could run around for
a while. We went to Hastings and then Wal-Mart before stopping
at Ci-Ci's Pizza for dinner. Then we went back to my house and
watched some Invader Zim episodes before I had to take her back
home. I came back home and went to sleep. I got up later in the
night, showered, and went back to bed.

I got up this morning and headed to class. I got out early and
went to breakfast. When I finished eating, I went by Papa John's
for a little while. Then I had to go take my drug test to become
a manger. After that, I ran home to get my backpack, and then
went to class. We listened to a bunch of presentations, and then
I went to lunch. After lunch, I went to my last class. We got
our tests back, and by some miracle, I had the third highest grade
in the class. After that, I went back by Papa John's and found
out I had used the wrong form on the drug test I took, and went
back by the clinic to drop off the new form. Then I went to Angie
Jennings's house for a while. She called Charlotte Zimmer and
I went to borrow an English book from her. I headed back home
to get ready for work, and had to work most of the evening. When
I got off, I went home, showered, and went to bed.

I got up this morning and stumbled around for a little while.
Angie Jennings called to talk to me for a little while. I didn't
want to get up, but I finally did. I tried to go take a shower,
but my sister and her friend kept getting ahead of me. Angie,
her older brother James, and a friend of his took a look at my
bike and fixed the radiator leak by adding some pepper to it.
Everything seemed to be working alright, so they left and my dad
and I put the bike back together. I had to go to work, so I didn't
get to ride any. When I got off, I went home for a little while
before heading back to see Angie again. She wasn't feeling well,
so I left and rode to Papa John's for a little while. Then I rode
around, came home, watched some Adult
Swim, showered, and eventually went to bed.

I got up this morning when Adam from work classed. I headed in
so I could train how to make the new pizzas we got. When the group
finished watching the video and eating samples of our new pizza,
most everyone left. I had to work until later in the evening,
so I went out to do some "marketing" and advertising
for the store. I stopped by Angie Jennings's house for a little
while to see her, and then went back to the store and worked all
morning. I went home for a little break, and then went by Angie's
house for a little while. I dropped her off at work, went home
to change again, and went back to work myself. I got off later
in the evening and went to Angie's house. We went back to my house
so I could change, and then we went out to eat at Perkin's. After
a while, I took her back home, came home, and went to sleep.

I got up this morning and headed to class. When I got out, I
went to breakfast, and then went to Papa John's for a while. Then
I had to go back to class. After that I went to lunch, and then
my last class. When I was done with classes for the day, I went
back by Papa John's.

My sister was quite annoying this morning as she kept trying
to wake me up prematurely. I dropped her off at school and went
to my classes. Both of them were boring, and then I had to wander
around aimlessly until the cafeteria opened for lunch. When I
finished pigging myself out, I went by Papa John's to see how
things were going. They were a bit slow, but I hung around until
I had to go to my last class.

2-20-02
I got up this morning and showered before heading to class. We
did a quick little lesson, and then I went to breakfast. After
I ate, I went to Papa John's to hang out for a little while. Eventually
I had to start heading back to class, but first I had to run home
to get my backpack. After class, I came out to the wonderful greeting
of another ticket on my bike. I shoved it deep down into my pocket
and rode on to lunch. When I came out from that, I was surprised
to find yet ANOTHER ticket on my bike, not even 60 minutes after
receiving my first one for the day. I griped at myself about it
for a bit, and then went to my last class for the day. After our
hour of fun, I went back to Papa John's to hang out for a while
again. Eventually I packed up and headed on to Angie Jennings's
house to see her for a little while. I ran home to get the other
helmet, among other things, and went back to pick her up. We went
by Wal-Mart at first so I could return and exchange a couple things
I had gotten before. My bike had poured out a bunch of antifreeze
when we first parked, but it was cool enough by the time we got
out that it ran without any problems. We went to Staples so I
could get a cable modem and router. As chance would have it, I
had the exact dollar amount in my wallet, and I got back a few
coins in change. From there, Angie and I went back to my house
so I could get ready for work. I dropped her off at her house
on my way back to the store. I had to stay a little longer than
I had hoped, but it wasn't too bad. Afterwards I went home and
called Angie to talk while I was setting up my new networking
equipment. After I got everything working, I showered and went
to bed.

I got up early this morning and showered before getting ready
for school. When I first went to class, it was pretty nice out,
but when I got out it was a bit rainy. I rode off to Papa John's
for a while and helped out a bit while they were having a busy
lunch hour. When I finished there, I went to the cafeteria for
lunch, and then headed to my last class through the rain. After
that, I had to ride back home in heavier rain. I stopped by Angie
Jennings's house for just a moment, and then went home for a while.
I fell asleep at some point, and woke up again later in the evening.
Angie called me, so I finally got up and out of bed and went to
her house for a while, where she fed me some yummy stir-fry stuff.
Later her brother wanted SubWay, and she was craving something
sweet, so we jumped across the street to satisfy all of our hungers.
When we got back, I got my things together and headed to Papa
John's again for a while and talked to Pete, one of the guys working
there. It started getting a bit late, so I headed back home and
eventually showered and went to bed.

I got up a little late this morning, but I still made it to class
a couple minutes early. We didn't really do anything in class
besides talk about what we're going to be studying next. When
the class was over, I went back out and found a stupid parking
ticket on my bike. All the cops left me alone before, but this
guy decided to give me a ticket for some reason. I headed on to
the cafeteria for breakfast, and then went back home for a little
while. I had to go get Thomas Hollingsworth to fill out a little
form for my speech class for me, so I went to the high school
to get that taken care of. I was there for about five minutes,
and then went back home until I had to go back to class. When
that class got out, I went to lunch. When I came back out, I found
yet ANOTHER ticket on my bike, for the SAME violation - no parking
sticker. I shoved it deep down into my pocket and continued on
to my last class. After that, I went by Papa John's for a little
while to talk to Jared Fitzgibbon and Kenneth New. Then I went
to Angie Jennings's house for a while before going home to get
the other helmet for her. We went back to my house to get some
things, and then went to return Thomas's cable crimpers to him.
We stood around there and talked for quite a while, and then we
went back by Angie's house. She didn't have a spare backpack lying
around, so we went back to my house. My bike had been leaking
something all day, so she, my dad, and I all got to work on taking
the thing apart. It was quite an experience, and afterwards the
bike was only slightly better than it was when we first started.
When we got it all put back together, Angie and I rode to Pay-Less
and then Wal-Mart to shop for some new shoes. I got a pair at
Wal-Mart, along with a couple pairs of pants, and then we went
back to my house. We were both quite hungry, so we went to KFC
and annoyed the workers that wanted to shut the store down early.
After our meal, we came back to my house for a little while before
I had to take her back home. We were a bit late because she wasn't
feeling well, and then to make matters worse, her moody mother
had to start griping about crap. I just want to go to sleep.

I got up this morning and showered before going to work to do
more management work. Around noon, I switched over to a driver
and delivered pizza for the rest of the afternoon. I split a pizza
with Ben Nordin for lunch, and then worked into the early evening.
I got off a couple hours early and went by Angie Jennings's house.
I caught her just as she was ready to go to church with Rachel
Trusty. I went on home for a while when Jason Huynh came online
and asked me to go by his house to help him with his new networking
equipment. We got his network going smoothly, and I ran by my
house to get the other helmet before going back to Angie's house.
She had too much work to do, so I left and went back by Papa John's
to see how things were going. Then I came back home, ate, showered,
and eventually went to bed.

2-16-02
I got up early this morning so I could go to work and do some
more manager training work. I beat Rachel, my boss, there, so
I waited in my car until she showed up. Then we got started on
getting the store set up. After a little while, Angie Jennings
came by to give me some breakfast. I did the opening management,
bossed people around a lot, and then finally got off on time.
I went by Angie's house and brought her back to my house. We watched
Invader Zim and TV for a while. She was going to spend the night,
but my parents decided they didn't want her to. I took her back
to her house, came home, and finally went to sleep.

2-15-02
I got up this morning and went to my first class to take a test.
I finished it in about 15 minutes and then headed to breakfast
for a while. After eating, I went by Papa John's for a while and
worked a bit. Eventually I had to head back to see if my next
class was meeting. Nobody was there, so I went back to Papa John's
and stayed until lunch time. Then I went to the cafeteria for
lunch, and then went to my last class.

2-14-02
I got up late today when my dad called to check on us. I ran
to the shower and then headed to class. When that was over, I
went to my morning classes. I was starving by the time we finally
got out, so I went to lunch. Then I ran by Papa John's for a little
while to see how things were going. From there, I continued on
to Angie Jennings's house. She wasn't feeling well, so I headed
home for a while before I had to get ready and go to work. I got
out a bit late, but I finally got to run back by Angie's house
for just a moment before her curfew was up. Then I headed back
home, showered, and went to bed.

2-13-02
I got up this morning and showered before heading to class. When
I got out, I jumped on my bike and my right foot didn't hit the
ground because I was parked on a hill. I lost my balance and tipped
right over onto my right side, leaving a nice, deep scratch in
my gas tank from my keys where I tried to hold the bike up. A
guy walking by helped me pick it back up, and I headed over to
the cafeteria for breakfast. Then I headed over to Papa John's
for just a little while, and then went to Angie Jennings's house.
She wasn't there, so I headed back home until I had to go to my
next class. After that class was over, I went to lunch, and then
continued on to my last class. When I was finally done for the
day, I stopped back by Papa John's for just a moment again, and
then went home to watch Invader Zim for a while. Eventually I
got up and went to pay some bills for my mom. Just as I turned
into the Wal-Mart parking lot, my bike overheated and blew a fuse.
I popped a new one in and waited for a couple minutes before going
to pay the last bill in the shopping center. When I took off from
that, I blew another fuse, and had to wait in the parking lot
for a few minutes for my bike to cool off. I could finally take
off again, and headed back home so I could get ready for work.
I took just a few runs before I was let off, and then I stopped
back by Angie's. We came back to my house and watched some more
episodes of Invader Zim, and then I took her home for her curfew.
When I got back home, I was so sleepy that I just went right to
bed.

2-12-02
I didn't want to get up this morning, but I finally crawled out
of bed and showered so I could head to class. I got out of both
of my morning classes a bit early and headed to Papa John's for
a couple minutes to see how things were going. Then I went to
lunch at the cafeteria until my last class. After that class was
over, I headed back by Papa John's, and then went to Angie Jennings's
house. She left a note saying she had to go out and run some errands,
so I went home for a little while and waited for her to call me.
After she called, I went to pick her up and we went by Thomas
Hollingsworth's little office so I could borrow his cable crimpers.
We stayed to talk for a little while, and then went out to try
and find Jason Huynh. With no luck there, we headed on to Mallory
McKinney's house to help her set up her computer and internet.
We hung out there for a little while, and then came back to my
house, then Angie's house, and then we finally wound up at New
China for dinner. After we ate, we went back to my house and watched
TV for a while. Angie was going to just spend the night since
she didn't have school the next day, but apparently only certain
people are supposed to be allowed in your house on the Chinese
New Year. My mom, in all her superstitious ignorance, kicked her
out, so I took her back to her house and came home to sleep.

2-11-02
I got up this morning and took off so I could give Kenneth a
ride to work. I dropped him off and headed to my first class.
When I got out, I went to breakfast and then headed back to Papa
John's for a little while to see how things were going. I continued
on home and took a shower before heading to my next class. We
got out pretty early, so I went to lunch early to continue my
fruit smuggling operation. Eventually I had to get along to my
last class. We got out a little early because all we did was study
for a test. I went to Angie Jennings's house and napped with her
for a little while, and then went home. My mom kept griping at
me, and I didn't want to hear any of it, so I went to Travis Simpson's
house to hang out for a while. We went by Domino's to pick up
a couple pizzas, and then went back to his house for a while.
When I got hungry, I headed over to the cafeteria for a dinner
there, and then came back home to study for my tests tomorrow.
I grew so tired that I finally just went to bed.

2-10-02
I woke up this morning when Rachel, from work, called. I rode
to work really quickly to help with the opening and do some manager
training. I counted money, started the computers up, and got the
food out and ready for the day. When that was all done, I went
by Angie Jennings's house. She wasn't there, so I went on home
and started to dig out some food to eat. That's when Angie and
her mom pulled up. They came in for just a little while to see
what I was up to, and then headed on out. I went to take a shower
and then headed back into work. It was a really long day, but
I got off a bit early. I went by Angie's house for a little while,
and then we went to get a couple Icees before going to my house
to watch Adult
Swim. I took her back home to meet her curfew, and then came
back home and fell asleep watching the last hour of cartoons.

Angie Jennings and I woke up this morning and found that my sister
didn't take the car in to get the tire repaired like I had asked
her to do, so we went to Long John Silver's to get something to
eat before going to Russellville Tire to fix it. The guy there
said the puncture was in the wall and it couldn't be repaired,
so I took the car to Papa John's to let them know my situation.
Rachel, the manager on duty, had me go to another tire place because
she thought the first place might have just been trying to get
a new tire out of me. Alas, they told me the same thing, so I
went back by the store to tell them the bad news. Jared Fitzgibbon
stayed to cover the first part of my shift, and Angie and I went
back home. I tried to call my parents in Tunica, but they weren't
any help. I took Angie home because she wasn't feeling well, and
took the car to Wal-Mart to have the tire replaced. I played their
sample video games for an hour or so, and then went back when
the car was finished. Apparently it was under warranty, so I got
the new tire for free. I headed back home, changed, and went on
into work for the evening. When I got off, I stopped by Angie's
house for just a little while, and then went back home to change
out of my work uniform. I wasn't there for very long before I
got a call from work asking me to come back into work for a little
while. I went in and helped out inside for a while. When we slowed
down, I figured I'd have some fun and called Domino's and had
some buffalo wings delivered to the store. Travis Simpson delivered,
and was just pulling out when the store manager pulled up. He
yelled at me while everyone else just broke up in laughter. Later
in the night, we went to fill up his air tank, he bought me an
Icee, and we went to air up the flat tire on his old truck. When
the closers finished cleaning everything up, he drove his old
truck, and I followed him to his house in his other one. He gave
me a ride back to the store, and I rode home to find that my sister
never came back home from the high school sweetheart dance. Tired
from such a long day, I fell right into a deep sleep.

My parents left for Tunica this morning, and are planning to
stay until Sunday evening. I left for class, and then went to
breakfast when I got done writing my program. When I finished
eating, I headed over to Papa John's until I had to go to my next
class. We got out after just a few minutes, and then I went to
lunch. I hung around there for a while, and then went to my last
class for the day. When that was finally over, I went back to
Papa John's for just a little while, and then continued to Angie
Jennings's house. She wasn't home, so I went back home to drop
off my backpack, and then went out to ride my bike for a while.
Eventually I had to go back home to change for work. When I got
out, I went back to see Angie. Trying to find something to do,
we went by Domino's to see Travis Simpson. He said he would meet
us online when he got off, so we went back to my house. When he
finally showed up, we went to meet him at his house. I took a
look at the RPG he was making, and then we went to McDonald's
for some food. Matt Farrar just randomly showed up for some food
while he was on a run from work. When we finished eating, we went
back to my house to hang out for a while. Then I got a call from
my sister saying she had a flat tire and was in the McDonald's
parking lot. Travis went home, and I took Angie out to rescue
her like a good little brother, but she kept giving me lip and
saying really rude things, so I made her take the van back home
while I finished putting the spare tire on the car. Angie and
I came back to my house and eventually just went to sleep.

I got up late this morning and school wasn't canceled, so I ran
out the door and made it to class right on time. After my first
class, my English composition class got out an hour early. I went
by Papa John's to see how things were going, and then went back
to school for lunch. After that, I ran home for a little while,
and then went to Angie Jennings's house to see her until she had
to go to work. I followed them to Price Chopper, and then I rode
back home because it was too cold outside. I stayed there until
it was time to change and go to work. I had to stay quite a bit
longer than I had hoped, but on the other hand, I need the hours
and the money to pay for this semester of college. I still plan
on smuggling tropical fruits out of the cafeteria, though. After
I finally got off of work, I came back home and got some food.
I missed most of Adult
Swim again, but I caught the tail end of Cowboy
Bebop just before I fell asleep.

I got up this morning and found out that school was canceled
due to the snow and icy roads. Not one to enjoy mornings, I went
back to sleep for a few hours. I got up later and wandered around
for a little while, and then went to Angie Jennings's house to
see her for a while. When she had to go to work, I went by Papa
John's to hang out for a few hours. After a little while, I went
by Price Chopper for some Whoppers
and Cherry 7 UP.
After that, I went back to the store for a while, and then finally
rode back home in the snow. I stayed there for a little while
until it was time to change and go to work. I stopped by Sonic
for a spicy chicken dinner on the way. I just love that stuff.
Work was alright, and it wasn't too cold out. I got out at a decent
time and went by Angie's house again until her curfew was up.
Then I headed back home, changed, and sat at the computer for
a little while. Hopefully the roads will freeze over tonight and
school will be canceled again.

I jumped up out of bed this morning and had time to shower before
heading to breakfast, and then go to my first two classes. We
got out of my second class about half an hour early, so I headed
back home to change and get ready to go to my grandfather's funeral.
We met up at their house for a little while and greeted family,
and then we went to the church for the service. It was a nice
little service in my grandmother's Presbyterian church, and afterwards
they held a little dinner for us. It was nice to see so much family
together again. We took some pictures and hung around to talk
for a while, and then we went back to my grandmother's house.
We stayed there for a while, still talking and hanging out with
family. Being a weeknight, we didn't get to stay for very long.
Eventually everyone had to start heading back home. I had slept
in the car the whole way up there, and then did the same on the
way back home. We stopped in Conway for some reason, but I did
my best to sleep through that as well. When we finally got home,
I got up and went inside to my computer. I was playing around
on it when Angie Jennings called me. We sat and talked for a little
while, and then she left to get ready for bed. I stayed up a bit
longer to work on the computer some more, and then I showered
and started heading for bed.

I got up a little late today and went to my first class. After
that, I went to breakfast, and then stopped by Papa John's for
a while. Eventually I had to go back to class, which ended a bit
early. I went to lunch, and then rode around for a little while
before having to go to my last class. I got out on a clean, open
road, and popped a nice, tall wheelie. I held it out for just
a moment, and then landed it perfectly. I was so excited, I was
popping little ones the rest of the day. I went by Papa John's
again for just a couple minutes, and then headed to class. After
that, I went by Papa John's again and followed Jared Fitzgibbon
around while he went out and delivered pizzas. He delivered one
to Thomas Hollingsworth, so I stayed there to talk to him for
a while. Eventually I headed back to the store to get my backpack,
and followed Jared on another run. Then I headed back home, where
I met up with my sister just as she was leaving. My parents had
gone to my aunt's house to eat, so I rode over there to meet everyone.
My Uncle Tuan and his girlfriend were there, too, and we all sat
around the table to eat and talk for a while. After they started
heading back home in Pine Bluff, the rest of us went out back
to my aunt's beauty shop, and I got a hair cut. When that was
all over with, we came back home. I was sitting at my computer
when I got a call from work saying that one of our drivers had
gotten into a wreck, and they needed some help getting things
caught up. By the time I got there, they said they were already
caught up, so I went out on one delivery, and then got sent home.
I went by Angie Jennings's house to see if she was home from work
yet, but she wasn't. I went by Price Chopper to see her for a
little while, but had to sit on a bench to the side for most of
the time. When she finally got off of work, she came to talk to
me for just a moment, and then she went out to her mom and we
raced back home. When I got home, I got cold and curled up in
bed. Eventually I fell asleep while waiting for my turn in the
shower.

I got up this morning and had to take Angie Jennings to work.
After dropping her off, I went to Kenneth New's place to pick
him up. We sat at his apartment for a little while watching his
fish tank until it was time to leave for work. We got there and
they weren't busy at all, so we went to Paradise Donuts and bought
the rest of everything they had. We took them back to the store
so everybody could eat, and then I took the rest home. Still tired,
I went to sleep and just barely woke up in time to get up and
ready for work. I made a decent amount of money, and went back
to Angie's house. We watched Fear
Factor and Adult
Swim, and then I came back home. I had a little bite to eat,
showered, and went to bed.

We had a lot of fun planned for today, but I still didn't want
to wake up. When I finally did get up, I noticed my parents were
both up. It was then that my dad told me the news that my grandfather
- his father - had passed away during the night. I knew he wasn't
doing well, but I never figured it was anything really serious.
He and my mom went up to Heber Springs to see my grandmother that
night, and had just gotten back not long before I got up. They
went to bed, so I continued getting up and rode over to the Outdoor
Living Center to meet Thomas Hollingsworth and check out how the
LAN party was setting up. People started showing up, and we needed
cardboard to cover the windows, and some drinks. I followed Robert
Couser and Grant Hall to Kroger for some drinks, and then went
back home to pick up my computer. I took Angie Jennings home so
she could shower and everything, and went back to the party to
set up my computer. After I got set up, I cut the cardboard to
cover all the windows. When I finished all of that, I went back
home and waited until I could get my turn in the shower. After
I was all cleaned up, I took the bike over to get Angie again,
and we went back to the party to have some fun. We played around
a bit, and when she finally got hungry, we went home to get the
car, and went by her house so she could try to find something
to eat. Failing that, we went to Perkin's for a nice dinner. After
we ate, I took her back home and went back to the party myself.
We had a blast the rest of the night, and saw a total of around
30 people come through, but eventually we had to start kicking
people out. When everyone left, Thomas, Grant, Robert, and I all
got things cleaned up. When everyone else finished their parts,
I stayed behind to mop the whole place up, and then took off.
I went by Papa John's to make sure I knew what time I had to be
back tomorrow. Kenneth New's car broke down as he was trying to
leave, so I took him home and then took my computer home to set
it back up. When I finished that, I went back to Angie's house
to spend the night.

I got up this morning and went to breakfast before going to class.
When I got out of class, I came back home, showered, and napped
for a short while. Then I got up and went to see Angie Jennings
before going back to class. She didn't feel well last night, so
she decided to stay home from school. After my speech class, I
went to lunch, and then went to my last class. We got out a little
early, so I went by Papa John's to see when I had to work. From
there, I went on back to Angie's house. We sat around there for
a little while, and then I went home to get the car so I could
take her to work. After I got back home from that, Travis Simpson
came by to pick up his sword. He stayed for a couple minutes while
he swung it around in amazement, and then he went to work. A little
while later, I had to go to work myself. It was a fairly long
night, and I went to pick Angie up from work while I was on a
run. She stayed at the store while I took a couple more runs,
and then I finally got out. We stopped by her house for a little
while, and then came back to my house to go to sleep.
