this morning rob's lil' brother was pissing me off and being insubordinate (a violation of clarinetamandment vi) so i was yelling at him. everybody seems to think it's funny when i get mad at people, but i wonder if they'll think that if they're the one i'm mad at. if they're still laughing i'm thinking that they're really gonna need some good insurance after i leave. or something. anyway, person number two was this freshman kid in my pottery class who was being a real smartass. of course i had to correct him. he was telling bob how horrible bob was doing on the potter's wheel, and that of course he could do way better. my ass he could. 
this kid is such a fucking moron that when the wire we use to cut the pot off the wheel wasn't on the table next to the wheel, he took some random tool and pried his pot off. causing it to have a nicely sized hole in the bottom. after class, he has the nerve to gloat.kid: "hey, bob, want me to give you some tips?"
me: "o yea, i really want to know how to get a hole in the bottom of my pot"
"yea sure, my pot was awesome"
"o yea, since you put a hole in it because you didn't go look for the wire, you IDIOT!"
this continued on for a bit, as i continued to rag on him and he continued to attempt to recover face. needless to say, he failed miserably at this. the whole time bob and mae were behind me and the kid laughing their asses off. it's been a pretty good morning, how 'bout you?
so today is finally friday, and consequetly it's payday, yay! tonight my mother asked if i wanted to go see a chic flick, as we're the only people (other than the dog) that are gonna be home. matt and my dad are on the church high school ski trip. why didn't i go, you ask? why would i go, i say. it's not like there's gonna be anyone for me to hang out with there. i really didn't blend well with all the people from my grade school, so here i am. thing is with the chic flick idea, i don't know if there's even any chic flicks out. that and i dunno if i really feel like going to any. on a whole i prefer fantasy, sci-fi, and/or action flims. comedy is good too, but not all comedy is funny. tomorrow it's gonna be me and, uh, me at home, as my madre is gonna be at her parents' house ripping up carpet all day. i'll be at the parade in the morning (like i already said five times), and then i'm going shopping with jessie (which i've said already once). after that it's me and pepsi, which i kinda like it that way. if i'm gonna be home, i like to be home alone.
ok, now here's my contribution to the recruitment of new memebers to the EricLand Forums. i was made moderator for the japanamation board, so i'm s'posed to be helping find people. too bad nobody really reads this and this message isn't gonna help the boards whatsoever. oh well.
i'd also like to add another 'person of the moment'.
at this moment, the person is shinji ikari from neon genesis evangelion. shinji really gets a bad rap from the world. from the people in his world, AND the people out here. they say he's a wimp and a wuss and a whiner, etc. etc. but i say different. sure, he does whine on occation, but he's really more of a pacifistic person who is constantly trying to appease others. asuka comments on that one, telling shinji that he's ALWAYS apologizing for something, it's not HIS fault, so he should stop apologizing for everything. she really gets into saying that too. but that's just the way shinji is. he hasn't had the best of childhoods either. his mother died, his father is a jackass, and he grew up away with some... teacher? of his. technically he did run away, but his father told him to leave too, so that just added to the whole jackass/bastard thing that is gendo ikari. as to the wuss and wimp comments. honestly, how many 14-year olds will go into a giant machine-like thing and pilot it against vicious enemies time and time again? sure, he says he's too afraid to pilot the evangelion every so often, but he does end up piloting it anyway. the kid is only fourteen. when i was fourteen i know i wasn't so secure with myself, just like shinji. i think the reason people are so intolerant of shinji is because of the way other young anime characters are depicted. many hero/heroines of anime stories are young kids in anywhere from 8th to 11th grade. these characters are depicted as being extraordinarily brave in fighting evil and other such things. shinji is portrayed more like an 8th grader would actually act. so anyway, hats off to shinji ikari, the third child.
