Who’da thunk it?

After a four month (well technically two) internet coma, I am sort-of back.  I lack enthusiasm for any sort of actual work and I’ve just been really tired lately, not exactly sure why either…
Well, heres a recap of important events over the last few months

  • April - turned 18
  • June - Graduated from high school
  • July - got another job… :S
  • June 2006-November 2007; April 2008-Now - Work on Zeisu (died and restarted numerous times)

And then of course there were some not-so-important events

  • I made a Kate Pierson poster :D (sad I know…)
  • Started experimenting with flash and Flex

Wow, my life is boring… No wonder all I want to do is sleep :P

Christmas

Christmas. Weeks in preparation, over in 24 hours. 0.0

I can’t deny, I had a really good Christmas. I got to hang out with my family and I got a bunch of stuff that I wanted. A surprise visit from my father also occurred. Like I said in the post below, no one at my house really got that into Christmas this year (besides my sister, and she convinced me to help her set up the big tree. Keep in mind this is midnight on December 24th). Of course nothing could go slowly, and I dropped a large portion of the tree (fake of course :P) on my toe and cracked the nail right down the middle.

Then the joys of wrapping gifts! It’s funny, people spend upwards of six hours wrapping gifts, and in a matter of seconds everything is unwrapped! Oh well. This year, we celebrated two Christmas’s, one here at home, and another at my grandmas. I have to say I got quite a lot more than what I expected. My list included…

  • Magic Markers
  • The Wizard of Oz (DVD)
  • A new Sweatshirt

As you can see, it was quite a full list. Of it, I got the sweatshirt and the DVD. That was all I really wanted this year, but everyone went overboard and I ended up with over $300 in money, a Video-Capture Card, a TON of new clothes, and eventually a car. I honestly wasn’t expecting it and I feel kinda guilty for receiving most of it.

I don’t know, Christmas just isn’t like I remembered it when I was younger. It’s lost qualities which I used to like, but what can you do?

Finally, the first semester is winding down. By January 22nd, I will no longer have to deal with Mr. Hart, or Mr. Gaylord’s insanly long essay projects (too time consuming), and no more Mrs. Sisti and Superwrite! I can’t wait!

While on the subject of Gaylord, I have 18/40 index cards left to do on an essay which he hasn’t really explained and it counts as 50% of the final exam! I’m so thrilled about it. Oh well, they warned us, I just had no idea how indepth it was really going to be!

Another riveting installment to the life of Nick

The official end of summer countdown has begun. Less than 2 weeks left of freedom left. I’m really dreading going back to school. I’m ready to be done with public school. The OMG your shoe laces don’t match your hair and the entire heirarchy of public high school is getting old. Oh well what can you do.

In other news, I have my new layout up. Hideous isn’t it. It started out looking fine, but now I’m not too sure about it, and there’s errors in Internet Explorer that I’ve yet to figure out. Whats weird is it looks fine (all but the transparent PNG in the header) for me, but for everyone else, its kinda weird looking. Oh well.

I am excited about Wednesday. We’re going to Knoebels and staying over night. It should be a nice way to end the summer.

Wow, this post is really jumpy… I don’t know whats wrong with me. Nothing has been extremely interesting lately, and my ability to write blogs that make any sort of sense has kinda disappeared. Hopefully it will return.

When did I die?!

Wow, things have been amazingly boring lately. With that being said, an example of my day is

Wake Up
Eat lunch
Go back to sleep
Sit and do nothing (until 6 am)
Go to bed.

I’m still waiting for Subway to call back, I’m beginning to wonder whats taking so long. Oh well. Other than the boredom, my computer is dying. :( It’s taking abour 10 minutes to load and then after its been one for a few hours it starts acting weird, so I restart it, but it freezes on the Windows Screen. I still have to check if its still under warranty (I really hope it is).

On another note, next Saturday (July 19th), Blogathon 2006 is taking place. What happens is people from all over the world register their blog and take donations (which go to a charity of their choice) so long as they write a blog entry every half hour for 24 hours straight. I will be participating with SwayBlog. We’re blogging for WaterAid. Check out our blog at
http://www.swayblog.mindlesstrio.com and donate a bit of money. Its for a great cause, and 24 hours of sleepless Swayers should be interesting. :D

I’m still alive

Written: July 7, 2006 at 11:21AM EST

Just posting to let everyone know I’m still alive. Not much has really been going on, blogworthy anyways.

I went to the orthodontist yesterday and they were running behind (as usual), so my mom goes up and asked how long it would be, because my sister had a doctor appointment around 4. (My appointment was scheduled for 2pm, we got in at 3). So the secretary goes up and the moronic dental assistants start complaining, and im sitting right there (mom ran out to the car). Then when they finally call me back, the start telling me stuff like “You mom doesn’t like me working on you” and “how can you stand to be around her.” I mean come on, I was tired and kinda mad at her for yelling at me, but its common sense not to talk about someones mother when they’re right there.

So after the orthodontist appointment, I came home and my mom took my sister to the doctor, and asked if I could watch the dog. I said sure. The dog was laying down in the living room by his cage and i layed down on the couch. The next thing I knew, it was 5pm and my sister and mom was home, and they took the dog out. I went to my bedroom and slept until about 6.

So, thats about all thats really happened.

Oh yeah, I’m also working on some new projects.

The first of which being a blogging platform, im a good portion into it now.

The second being The Hangout Resurrected. I got a good chunk of the layout and message board s done. It should be cool once its done.
