Goddammit. Puberty ******** exploded all over my face this week. gonk

Good thing I'm not trying to impress anyone.

Went to D.C. on a field trip today. Getting up at 3:45 in the morning in order to get to school at 4:30 was pretty d**k. The trip sucked, but since we paid for a charter bus, we were able to watch Zoolander on the way up there. I brought a pillow and a blanket with me, so it was pretty bearable. I got the whole bus to sing Bohemian Rhapsody when we finally got into the city, although I'm not sure why.

We visited the Library of Congress, which was pretty lame. It was just a bunch of old people shuffling around and talking about how kids our age weren't allowed to touch the books. Then we went to the International Spy Museum, which would have been cool if my stomach wasn't trying to digest itself (I had only eaten a granola bar on the way out the door, as I was under the impression that we were stopping to eat). I pretty much raced to the end of the little maze they had set up and got to the "Spy Cafe" which was PACKED with little Catholic schoolchildren. I got my chicken wrap and a Bawls and sat down, only to find that the wrap was utterly disgusting and ended up throwing it out and eating off of my friends' pizza.

We left there and went over to the National Holocaust Museum, which was really the best part of the trip. It was so bittersweet, though. I honestly don't think I've cried that much within two hours in my entire life. The s**t that I learned in there will stick with me for a lifetime... I honestly wasn't really affected until we got to this room filled with the shoes that the Nazis had forced the Jews to remove right before they were gassed. It's just horrible to think about, even now. All those people took off their shoes without even knowing what was about to happen to them; it's mortifying. I was okay for the rest of the tour, until we got to the last room. They had this big Eternal Flame going in the center of the room with candles lit all around the circumference of the dome and all of the names of the death camps carved above them. My buddy Matt and I started bawling like babies when we went in there. It was just overwhelming.

So, ******** Nazis.

Yeah, lost my iPod over the Thanksgiving break. I suspect that someone lifted it out of my pocket when I went to that party. Ahwell.

Abby (rich, no-longer girlfriend) decided that she would help me out. She has this old U2 iPod that she had "broken" and said that I could have it if I traded her a bag of my old clothes. God bless art kids and their incompatability with electronics. Turns out that all that she needed to do was update the iPod software. xD

But I'm pretty much done with AGE.

I'm just tired of the people in it and everything else.

Besides, it was kinda dying anyway.

Ahwell, on to newer and more exciting things, right?

Visiting the grandmother that I actually like.

I might pop in every now and again to say hi, but it's doubtful I'll be around for more than an hour or so at a time.

Peace.

Started a new quest today.

A 45k quest for some shiz.

Y'all donated so much, all I have left is the hat.

xd

You guys must like me or something.

I'm finally getting my leather jacket.

Buying it off of Thomas for $50.

Cheap. As. s**t.
