Chris Lies

Whatever Chris says about me planning the Spaghetti Dinner is a gross exaggeration. I sat there as he called people, as can seen by the fact that you probably talked to him not me. Thank you, that is all.

And he shall be a good man

Random Story of The Day:
So at six flags a while ago, Joe and Chris decided to ride Superman. They left their stuff with me and the girls, and walked to wait in line. While they were riding Supeman I decide to mess with Joe by changing the background of his camera phone.

His new background?

Kezia and Shilpa bringing their hands together in the shape of a heart. I actually think this is one of my most interesting ideas ever. Not the messing with Joe, part but the concept behind the picture.

Boredom

So yeah, this summer I need something to do. For the longest time I thought about going to FL, but then I realized I might actually like to get the place and not resent it for changing my life.

Plan B was to get a summer girl. Honestly, this was less of an actual plan and more of a hilarious idea. I was actually based on like a year old blog entry I read (read it). Her criteria for being a summer boy made me think how funny it would be to write my criteria for a summer girl. Of course it wouldn't be as funny as the original, and would make me want to delete my entire entry. So move we on.

Next, was the "I'll learn something to fill up the time". So far I know how to play three chords on my guitar. Onto the next.

All that's left is a job? Well, guess I have to get one...

Lyric of the Day:
"I just wanna break you down so badly
Well I trip over everything you say

Nonye: he has nice eyes
Nonye: i can't believe i'm debating this with you, of all people

Nonye: girls aren't important now
Nonye: wait till college
Nonye: *not advocating celibacy*
Me: you should write a kids book though; "the truths of life by Nonye"
Nonye: you know, that's not a bad idea

Me: bleach had dec3nt fillers
Nonye: yakitate and PoT have the best fillers
Me: that 3 was an accident, i swear
Nonye: lol, i was going to ignore it
Nonye: you know you want to talk in leet lol
Me: |\|0 \|\|47!!111!!!1!
Me: that is a sign i should go to sleep

Silly Situations with Smart Kids

This edition of Racey Days(RD) is dedicated to smart kids who do not so smart things.

Who plays frisbee under a tall tree when it is thundering?

Who gets into a pool five minutes after seeing lightning flash across the sky?

Who uses pool water in a sauna in order to add chlorine into the air they breathe?

Smart Kids!

Aside from all the crazy things that happened at Tuua's party, it was fun for the most part. Especially having a chicken party and discussing how Chris and I are the posterboys for Obesity and Anorexia, respecively.

Lyric of the Day:
"When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through"
-All American Rejects:"Move Along"

Random Story of The Day:
So Keith and Chris are talking on a sofa.

Keith: You can kiss a person on the tonsil.
Chris: That's not a kiss.
Keith: It definitely is.
Chris: You can't do that!
Keith: I'll show you.
(They get dangerously close...)
(Keith pushes away Chris)
Keith: You are so gay dude. You actually were going to do it too.

Me...swing dancing?!?!

So yeah, swing dancing is both fun and tiring. Though my body is extremely tired, I had lots of fun. Hell, I even learned how to foxtrot, merengue, cha-cha, and swing dance. Though I will admit I was extremely reluctant to asking random people to dance with me, in the end I learned something from each and every single person I danced with. Next week maybe I might go again...

Lyric of the Day:
"Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it"
-The Killers:"Smile Like You Mean It"

Random Story of The Day:
Chip and I walk up to two random girls and ask them to dance. After one minute my partner walks up to her friend and tells her that they should go find the bathroom. I was a beginner, so a couple stepped on toes was mainly responsible for this(thats my story and I'm sticking with it).

When they are seen by Bob dancing together alone in a corner:
"Guys, I can't believe they made them swear off men!"

Lunch and Legends

So yeah, Yesterday we went for appetizers and drinks at TGIF. It was pretty fun, with Briana downing sugar packets, Dan actually dropping a knife, and Joe staring off into the distance(thinking or at a waitress?). While trying to tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue, I ended up splitting it into three peices(which can also be called thirds).

We walked all the way to Legends(which Joe complained about). While Vik and Joe look at comic books/manga, I head over to the trade binders. We end up all watching Briana lose to Joe at chess. There was also an intense Risk game where Joe convinced the other people to gang up on me, so I was left with 3 armies on Greenland.

I then discovered a horrible truth...Joe did not know how to play Yu-gi-oh! With our youth coming to a close soon, we bought precons and I taught Joe. Now, I can room with Joe knowing that he was been one with the heart of the cards. That probably seemed more comedic in my head.

Lyric of the Day:
"So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this
Savor every moment of this"
-The Used:"The Taste of Ink"

Random Story of The Day:
I bought two packs of Yu-gi-oh yesterday when I was leaving Legends. I opened two copies of this card that I can't use unless I buy a bunch of packs. I look up the card, and apparently it is the Ultra-Rare of the set and it goes for like $30.

Rainy Days...get it....sounds like Racey Days

So Joe tells me that we are going to Tuua's to hang out. Ok, thats fine I think to myself. I get to his house at 1, and he doesn't have directions, or the time we have to get there. He talks to Tuua, and gets directions as well as an invitation for 4 pm. So we kill three hours playing Dynasty Warriors. Whats kind of sad is that instead of balancing his team, Joe power-levels his main guy(like those 10 year olds who get through Pokemon with only a lvl 97 Charizard). So I am there, fighting with a fan(!), trying not to be killed by frikin' foot soldiers.

Anyway, we eventually leave for Tuuas. We get there after being lost twice. And it is only then that Joe tells me that we might go into the pool or river. Thankfully, it rains so that we end up having a Ra****(Finnish leftover party), playing Apples to Apples, discussing Harry Potter and X-3, and watching "His Girl Friday". Apparently Cary Grant is a great actor...All this time I just thought Katie liked him for no real reason.

Lyric of the Day:
"Prescribed pills
To offset the shakes
To offset the pills
You know you should take
It a day at a time"
-Panic! at the Disco: "Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks"

Random Story of The Day:
Joe and I walk into Tuua's.

Tuua: Hey, nobody comes through my front door.
Me: Yeah, I can tell; Cobwebs scare me though.
Katie(in the other room): Who came?
Tuua: Dinesh and Joe.
Katie: Crap, now we have to stop girl talk!
Me: You could tell us some of those amusing OC stories?
Katie: Well there was a war between Sweden and France....

P.S.: It was Norway and France

Grad Party @ the pool

It was honestly the most fun/exausting party I have been to so far. Playing basketball and shark is extremely tiring though. We had a good showing of people there. Shout out to Shilpa for making an amazing plaque(even though I didn't get one), Jeff for running out and getting swim trunks, Ruthie for leaving Tuua's party to come to ours, Angela for swimming the fastest lap I've ever seen, Brittany for being good at shark, Koutek for his tennis tan that gets the ladies, and Briana for amazing party bags. If I missed you, I blame exaustion.

P.S. I just updated an entry for the 10th, don't miss it!

Lyric of the Day:
"Graduation Day
Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you"
-Head Automatica:"Graduation Day"


Random Story of The Day:
So Joe and I are sleeping over at Collins'. We're talking and watching MTV at 3 am, when Chris' phone rings. He bitches about who would all him at 3.

All I know is that I heard the words: "Katie Ryan, I...love you"*

*There may have been a platonically in there, but artistic license lets me cut it out to make the story funnier.

The Week that Wasn't (Senior Week)

Where shall we begin...

Well the three of us(Joe Chris and I) had been talking about getting a room for senior week. So we get Joe to book one using his mom's credit card. As the trip nears I pick up a new beach towel and swim trunks for the beach, as well as a bunch of snacks for when we need them.

Dan doesn't have a room for OC, so he asks if he can come with us. It's no problem for us, but we have to check and see if the hotel will charge us more. This call is made the day before we have to go, even though Dan asked us a week in advance(Don't blame anyone, we're all that procrastination inclined...a result of IRPs). So the hotel tells us that we can't have two minors in the room. That more or less means the trip has to be canceled. Unless we do some illegal manuevers...but wait its me, so the trip is cancelled.

Well, I have a bunch of food I got for the trip. So I suggest we go somewhere else. Since Tuua and Ruthie went to the Appalacian trail a while ago, I figure we could go there. I mean we can learn from their mistakes in knowing what to carry and what to leave at home. Well, that idea is shot to crap.

So I guess I have this food until my grad party. Anyone who I know and wants to come can AIM me @ justbobdanish.

Lyric of the Day:
"Hey Miss Murder can I?
Hey Miss Murder can I?
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life? (Ohhhhh)"
-AFI:"Miss Murder"

Random Story of The Day:
So I was randomly talking to Dan on AIM after the shit hit the fan.

Me: so what have you been up to?
Dan: chilling at home
Dan: getting stepdad's bday gift
Me: I've been playing RO and watching old indian movies
Dan: grieving chesapeak knife and tool closing down
Me: where was that?
Dan: whitemarsh mall and towson mall
Me: oh, i never been there
Dan: :'( when little i allwayse wanted to work there
Dan: -_- yeah so i was a demented child, so what?
Me: lol

GRAY HAVEN @ THE RECHER!!!

So yeah, I definitely ate six chocolate chip cookies at Dori's party. Chris and Nonye and Joe and Tuua can say what they want, but those cookies were much better than the oatmeal rasin ones they had.

I learned that you can almost do the macarena in your seat....almost.

Then we saw GH at the Recher. It was fun, especially since Oliver had a red shirt that made him look like a bouncer. Plus, Gray Haven rocks. The metal band after them weren't that bad either.

Sigh, I miss my long hair, now I can't headbang.

Lyric of the Day:
"I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me
I can not live
I can’t breathe
Unless you do this with me "
-Angels and Airwaves:"The Adventure"

Random Story of The Day:
Chad Alex and Zack definitely skipped across a mosh pit without being hurt.

Indian Movies

For the past week, I've spent my days watching Indian movies. For those of you who don't know, this means that I've seen way too many stories about family obligation and finding a soulmate. Plus, I can now read subtitles really fast(for fan-subs of course). That is all.


Lyric of the Day:
"Our heads are so filled with thought, we can't use our imagination
Like a sky so filled with stars, you can't find a constellation
And everyone's so sensitive to every bad vibration
We're so impressing while we're regressing"
-SR-71:"Politically Correct"

Random Story of The Day:
In the movie theter, Skip had brought his PSP. We watched the "Niggar Family" skit from the Chapelle show as credits fro X-men rolled. As we get to the special ending, i take out my headphone, but accidentally unplug them from the PSP.

Through the entire theater you hear, quite loudly, "NIGGAR, PLEASE".

Why am I always late to dinner?

Wednesday was the robotics dinner.

But before I could go to it, I had to go to attend Andrew's Graduation party. Joe and I arrived ten minutes early, as we had given ourselves extra time when in case we got lost(Use of the plural makes it look like its not me who gets lost, but the "we").

So yeah, it was pretty fun. Cheeseburgers, Chips, Super Smash Brothers, with ACDC playing in the background. I learned some interesting things that are probably going to keep me away from the drumline at Maryland.

Joey was there too, so I decided to leacve when he did. Then I realized he wasn't leaving anytime soon. Of course this is after we are an hour late. After a twenty minute drive, we get to Dinner as people are making their closing comments. Well, I got a varsity letter, so its all good.

Lyric of the Day:
"Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there"
-Train:"Drops of Jupiter"

Random Story of The Day:
For some reason or the other I was hit by every female at the grad party and at robotics. Weird how that happens, right?

Thursday, June 08, 2006

Well, we graduated...

Its over.

We've graduated high school.

Sure you feel happy, but don't you regret leaving?

Knowing that your friends will fade into memories?

Certain that it will all become pictures in a dusty album?

Hopefully our memories will not be just of the fun times we've had, but how we've changed each other.

Good Luck my friends, wherever life may take you,
-Dinesh

Lyric of the Day:
"You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her, you can't have her
You want to, but she won't let you

She's not so special so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special so look what you've done"
-Franz Ferdinand:"Auf Achse"

Random Story of The Day:
At Six Flags, some guy walks up to Joe.

Guy(points at Shilpa): Is that your girlfriend?
Joe: No...
Guy: Well, she's really pretty.
Joe: ... I guess she'll be happy to hear that
(Guy walks away)
Me: As if you could ever get with that.

Its Billy Mason Everybody!!!

So, Billy came up for graduation. It was pretty fun hanging out with him at Chris' and then at the pool. Apparently VA is not that different from MD.

We then went to Rubin's party, where Phil seemed to be an endless source of amusement for Katie. After we all recived massages from Katelyn, we headed to the next party of the night.

Driving to Karanja's was scary. Not to call anyone a bad driver, but you're not supposed to indicate left and then trun right. Well we got there in one peice, so all was well. What sucks is that most girls from our schools can't/refuse to dance. Ah well, at least Davon represented class od 06 in that dance-off thing.

Lyric of the Day:
"Well, I aint always right but Ive never been wrong.
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right."
-
The Grateful Dead:"Scarlet Begonias"

Random Story of The Day:
I've always wondered why people called Billy "Penny". Apparently his middle name is Pennington. Leave it to me to find out something like this at the end of senior year.
