Realization

On my way to IHOP the other day, I saw one of my friends from last year, Brandon. When I saw him, I noticed how I tend to drift apart from my friends over time. And with that, I get a feeling of melancholy because I know that I will probably lose my friends, or at least the ones that don't end up going to my high school.
So i intend on enforcing a new goal on myself. Over the next four years, I'll try to get together as often as possible with my old friends, and stay in contact. And I really hope I'm able to do this, because four years from now I don't want to have lost everything that I have now.

Friends and brownies =D

Usually, it's completely futile to argue with my mom over letting friends come over. But every now and then, a great excuse comes along, and this one happened to be a school presentation (Thanks Ms. Napoli!)
And with enough persuasion, I succeeded in convincing my mom to let me invite Taylor over! We barely got any work done, and pretty much only bought food for the presentation (and ate half of it). But hours flied by, along with "carajo land" and "conspiracy" jokes, and throwing ideas back and forth.
I'm probably the only person in the world that's actually happy to be doing a school project, but then again the bulk of it revolves around food. (Food -> first sign that I actually contributed something.)
*Realizes that this entry is completely all over the place and is leading to nothing* Long story short, junk food is the most important component of any diet, and conspiracy theories are a conspiracy formed by the government!

Good bye intense, cutting, frosty weather

In my book, Winter is finally over! More specifically, I define the end of winter as not stepping into huge piles of snow, but rather breaking into a sweat upon going through the front door.
So, to celebrate this long-due seasonally weather, I took the time to go to the park. And while this might not seem like a great task, my parents found it amazing that I actually passed up playing video games to go outside...*ponders self's anti-socialism*...and I have no idea what they meant when they said so :P.
Now my favorite part of going to the park is getting on the swings. And I accompanied my sister and brother in law along with my niece to the smaller of two parks near my house, which only had two swings. And of course, with five year olds running all over the place, the swings were taken. And with my very nice decision of not "persuading" these kids to get off the swings, I watched my niece sit in the baby seat instead =D.(Picture to the left.)
