ok here's the overview.
Tuesday - went home, played some Sonic Adventure 2 (and beat it XD ), ate dinner, went to bed at like 7:30, woke up at 11 and immediately went back to sleep, woke up at 4, back to sleep, woke up at 6:45 then got dressed for school. pretty easy day with no FB besides a few good quotes that would've been status-able.
Wednesday - School was alright. Despite not doing my homework I was able to get it done during 1st hour in Econ. Came home, got on AIM and connected it to Facebook which I hope doesn't count as getting on facebook. Especially since i posted a status to facebook expressing my love for loopholes that allow me to be on FB Chat without being on facebook...but i didn't see anyone else's status or wall posts and I still have no knowledge of notifications other than what people have told me so I guess I'm still in the clear. I was also on AIM for only 3 minutes so I guess it's not that bad. got a shower, ate dinner, and went to bed with yet another night of no homework getting done.
Thursday - Joseph and Alla told me it DID count today and claimed I invalidated the experiment. However Kristan told me it didn't and her opinion trumps both of them...especially when it agrees with mine. ;) funny how that works eh? All I have to do tonight is a paper for econ and I'm done. Despite feeling lazier by replacing facebook with sleep, I'm feelin pretty good about this whole thing. North/South game tomorrow night, then my little cousin is turning 5 on saturday ^_^ Add a side of maybe going to Kara's to help her with homework/watch a movie and I've got a pretty good weekend in store. With all this stuff I might just forget all about facebook entirely and just not get on this Sunday like I planned.

Log Out Challenge. 1 week without facebook.
Sounds silly I know, but I'm on facebook so much without actually doing anything and barely talking to people that I thought, "Will I miss it if I just don't get on?"
I didn't want to up and delete my account yet I wanted to experiment so I decided to swear off Facebook for a full week. I'm not even going to do anything that requires signing into my account to connect. This is the list of everything I haven't been able to do so far as a result. Just to show how much I use facebook's capabilities.
Day 1 Monday:
- Heard quite a few things I would've liked to make into a status.
- Saw some really funny videos I would've liked to share.
- I found out that a friend who's house I wanted to go to this weekend doesn't have her phone and can only communicate- drumroll please - through facebook.
- And general talking.
- I couldn't connect my Picnik to my profile without logging in as my mom had logged in on her profile from this computer so it didn't have it saved.
However I found that I didn't really have the urge to get on, and my brother as well as a few friends have told me I won't last three days without facebook. Joke's on them...I WILL last three days...wait....i mean seven...yeah that.... *gulps* wish me luck.

I'd like to call hax on this weekend.
The universe definitely trolled me this weekend. Let's just go day by day.
Friday: Jazz band up and got cancelled because Ryan felt the need to jokingly ask Schatz if we could just not have it and Schatz actually said go for it. I decided to go home where my parents were acting like children. Which isn't out of the ordinary but it was hightened a bit to the point where I literally asked them to shut up because their immaturity was giving me a headache because they bicker like 6 year olds. Drumline practice was ok except that the string was broken on the marimba I use and our drumset player tried to tell me that Jesus invented drums through the whole transitive property thing (If A=B and A=C then B=C) because I said drums were around before Jesus meaning the 'robed in flesh/ first Noel' Jesus and not the spiritual Jesus. Practice then ended on a good note...pun intended and I got to watch Dinner for Schmucks and half of The Other Guys.
Saturday: Woke up by Josh angrily screaming my name then five minutes later denying it completely. Not jokingly but literally denying having yelled at me. The only thing that secured my sanity here was that mom heard him too. Got a call from my cousin who said he couldn't come over because he was stuck with his younger cousins at him mom's house despite this being my uncle's weekend to have them. The girl cousin who never spends the night, however, was able to go with my uncle for his usual weekend visit which I found to be idiotic. I got a little solace from the madness by going to South an hour early for the game and hangin with the winterguard before they left for their first contest. I have to say, they're a lot of fun to be around when you're not stuck with them for 6 months and you haven't seen many of them very often since the 6 months you were stuck with them. I also got to see Alyssa, who is a friend of mine who moved to Iowa and had come back to TH to visit the guard peeps before they left for the contest. The basketball game was qutie a bit of fun too. Then I went home and watched the rest of The Other Guys.
Today (Sunday): Woke up to dad cleaning the water heater which was quite peculiar and the morning just had a weird vibe to it from the start. I had made plans on friday during lunch with Alla, Beka, Danny Baker, and a few others to see Tron today but nobody called me so I just figured they decided not to go. Until Beka's status pops up on the front page of Facebook stating that she was about to do the aforementioned events with the aforementioned people and nobody bothered to tell the aforementioned me. Needless to say I was kinda pissy about this since no one decided to contact me especially since I was not only standing there but also contributed to the making of the plans and promised a contact when the time was decided upon. Guess 5's a crowd and the perfect group is 2 girls and 2 guys that neither girl is dating. I tried texting Alyssa to see if she wanted to hang out before she left, only to find that the number I had for her was wrong and found out the hard way that it belonged to a 50 something-sounding woman after an awkward (but slightly pleasant) conversation.
I also tried making plans for tomorow, being that it's MLK day, with my band that I and friends put together for the SMASH Battle of the Bands. I got a text from Bethany, yes her she's our singer and no one objects to it so I won't get shanked by drama kids...hopefully, asking what time. I told her I'd talk to Cody, our drummer who's house was the venue of choice, and get back to her and the rest of the people. After sending multiple texts and a facebook mass message to give details, the only response I get from anyone is from one of our trumpet players, Bartley, who said he couldn't make it. Thus causing the last of my weekend plans to be flushed down the toilet like yesterday's Taco Bell. Did a few stages of Sonic Adventure 2 where you have to do treasure hunting missions that are friggin hard BUT the locations of the gems you have to find kept changing with each life I lost so even a walkthrough didn't help at all. Josh somehow lost his phone by it slipping through the front console of the car. I managed to find it in the floor board as it had slid all the way to the back. Now everything is over, let's hope tomorrow is better.
Sidenote: This was another weird thing but didn't affect my day or mood. The static from my monitor caused a piece of string to stand up but it was weighed down by a pencil or something so it didn't just cling to the monitor. It was pulled up but only to a certain point to where it could 'stand up.' When I moved my finger toward it, I was able to push it without actually touching it like I had disturbed the electromagnetic field or something. Total physics trollin.
Well I've had enough of the weirdness. Going to bed. Night peeps.
If tomorrow's just a future yesterday. Let's make today a fortnight ago. (...totally copyrightin that $#...screw it SHIT! there we go...that felt good not having to censor myself.)
