My Cat

As I may have already said I have a big fat black cat. His favorite hobbies are sitting on your stuff, chasing neighborhood animals, such as other cats or dogs, eating, and sleeping. Actually his hobbies are about all he does, heck he even stopped pooing after we decided to let him outside. Cuddlebug, his name, is very cuddly, as his name states. He would sit on your tummy and paw it, after a while he would curl up and take a nap. When we tried to foster some other cats with him .... he isn't that friendly, but he likes us!

I love that cat. Today, however, our neighbor found him in his driveway, and he wasn't moving. Although he is cuddly and friendly, to people, he ran from strangers, heck he ran from us a few times when he wanted to stay out longer. It is so sad but hes dead. He died happy though, laying on the ground was one of his favorite things. I hope to get some new cats soon but he is a unique cat, so fun and cute. I'll miss him.... :(

First Day

Today was the first day of school. I have had all the teachers before except for one of them, I even have my freshmen math teacher twice. I'm taking Calc BC, Latin 5/6, english, history, and programing. I'm also taking environmental science AP but want to take AP physics. I've requested 3 times to get changed, one was even before summer even started.
It wasn't to bad..... I've gotten homework in all but two classes, only because one of them forgot to give us homework. It looks like a rough year but I think..... possibly hope?.... I'll survive, somehow.
Seminary hasn't started yet and I'm not sure when it will. Tuesday? Wednesday?
Other than that I really desire to have a great year, and get some good grades, presuming I am able to do the work, which I also hope I can.

Work

This is something I wrote and saved as a draft. I've finally found it.

For the past two weeks I've been working on my summer job. I work at a museum nearby and I worked on a Lego Mindstorms camp. Hey I get to play with legos and get paid, whats not to like? The kids are in or about to start middle school so they are well behaved. They loved the class. We build animals and lego catapults. They raced cars and had a sumo wrestling match. At first it was only cars and learning how to program, then they started to get into complicated programs.

Eagle Day Four

Yes it is day four although I haven't posted anything about it yet.

For my Eagle project I am telling people what to do.... so they can upgrade a computer lab. The first day I had my friends come and we cleaned it up, the cords were such a mess that the school was threatened by the fire department. The people were awesome that day.
Day two I got a fellow scout troop to help out, they were fairly rowdy and stayed in the gym. Although my scout leader came and helped. We cannibalized a lot of systems that day but thats about it.
Day Three: A church friend came to help out. We finished upgrading all the systems and installing the new OS (linux rules). I think we did the most this day, but we did stay latter than usual.
Day Four: We labeled the network cables, updated the systems, and received 14 new computers from a local non-profit. we got them installed and had the whole lab updated.

we should be able to finish it in one more day. Almost there!

I finished warriors: new prophecy and it was good. I'm glad that squirrelflight and Brambleclaw were able to get together, the fourth book was so depressing I almost stopped. It did end a bit abruptly, it probably could have gone on easily. I'm just glad theres another series. I wonder, did starclan know of Brambleclaws nightly visits or not? Did they make Brambleclaw the deputy because it wasn't long before he was gone to far? Was it just luck? Also the prophecy Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red.... seemed a bit exagerated. Sure it was nearly tragic but it wasn't quite as epic as the lake will run red. Although that part could refer to the bagers. Either way its a great book series. The authors are truely talented.

Today

Today was fun. Frater and I played a game called Thurn and Taxis. It is a multi-player game where the people do not interact/affect each other. I would really suggest it.
We also helped a family in the ward move in. They moved out a year ago but were unhappy so they moved back. They gave us lots of chocolates for helping. Their little kid is so cute and bubbly.
I also have work today, I'm helping out at a science museum. The camp I'm helping out is about lego mindstorms. The kids are great and I've done the camp before. Hey I play with legos and get paid, who can complain?
I'm almost done with the Warriors: New Prophesy series. I'm on the fifth book and its phenomenal. What I don't understand is that why doesn't Squirrelflight be more understanding. Sure Hawkfrost will be a pain, sure her distrust of him is well based, but why does she sacrifice her relationship with Brambleclaw? What in the world is there to gain from not loving him anymore? Bramble has said he would never pick any cat over her so why doesn't she try a bit.
Also why is Bramble giving up Squirrelflight for Hawkfrost? Sure Hawk is his half-brother but he could stop talking to him, its not like he will lose much. Finally Hawkfrost is obviously trying to take over all the clans. Why else would he consort with Mudclaw, sure he might 'believe' that Mudclaw should be the leader but that doesn't mean attacking another clan about it. Its loyalty to the clan first and it doesn't affect Riverclan at all if Onewisker or Mudclaw is leader.
They are both being fairly stupid. I also dislike how squirrel is starting to like Ashfoot(the Thunderclan warrior). Its like she is hanging out with him to hurt Bramble and that is simply low. It never even describes Ashfoot much.
Ah well its a good book either way. I just hope they work it out.

Youth Conference

Youth Conference was great. We drove to a place up in the mountains and camped there for a single night. We left at 6:30 in the morning on friday and got back around 5:00 on Saturday.
On the first day we registered and did a service project. For our service project (most of the Berkeley ward was in the same group, although there were three groups) we cleared on a grove and set up some log seats. After that we had lunch, the food wasn't too bad although it was fairly small. Then we got to listen to some speakers. One was about making your life better, another was about whats wrong with the world and another we simply sung a song. My favorite was the conspiracy theorist, probably because for the most part it was only us and the teacher. After that was dinner and a dance, which wasn't to bad. I find it funny that at the dances most of the people just get in a huge blob and don't do much. They jump occasionally.
On Saturday we had breakfast and took a hike to a area where an obstacle course was set up. We got in groups of 10 and did them together. One was having everyone stand on a small platform at the same time. Another was having everyone scale a huge wall. That was fun and surprising that we could do it. two of them were tightrope walking. The last was a single person one which was great. We were tied into a harness and walked acoss a rope that was about 20 feet (not sure but it would have hurt to fall, possibly break a bone?). Then we went on a faith-walk. We were blindfolded put into a line and then went for a walk. Then was testimony meeting and home.
Overall It was a great weekend.

Sane or Insane

Am I unique because I'm sane or am I simply normal for believing that I'm sane but in reality I'm insane? Isn't humankind insane and therefore each person is crazy? But everyone believes their sane so am I insane to think everyone else is insane but I'm sane or am I sane and everyone else is insane? Am I insane for thinking I'm both insane and sane? Isn't that a paradox?

wow I love logic problems. expecially ones to do with sanity its fun.

Hey I was looking for a word and found this website, Its all about english words that are contradictory
