The Day Where I Went to Disneyland

Hey!

So, this Friday, I went to Disneyland with a few of my friends! It was a blast! I had so much fun and I didn't feel as bad about not going to school (I usually feel guilty when I don't go to school, even if I'm sick...).

Here are some crazy things that happened there!!

1. BOYFRIEND FAIL!
We were in line for Casey Jr. and we saw this young couple. They are exiting the ride and he steps out of the little thing they were in even though the little door is still shut (he was tall enough to just step over the door). He proceeds to exit, while his girlfriend is calling out to him, "Nate! Nate!" because she can't get out and he's just going to leave her there. He turns around and says, "OH..." and then walks right past her to the real exit (because he was going the wrong way). An employee helped her out. A little later, I see them again and she looks kind of upset with him. He is laughing, so she just stomps away from him and then he goes chasing after her...he fails...

2. Drunk Girl/Drugs
We are in line for Space Mountain. It's close to closing time at this point. This woman in front of us turns around and asks us about something I'd rather not say on here. It's a really weird question and she then tells us her opinion on it. Then she says to us, "Don't drink when you get older!" One of my friends whispers that he can smell the alcohol on her breath. She then turns to us again and says, "Make sure you don't drink because if you're drunk like me, you go around asking weird questions like that..."

I don't think I've ever been around a drunk person. That's how sheltered I am, haha. But I'll listen to her advice and not drink ever, haha. We also briefly got offered drugs, I think. This shady guy turns to us and says, "Hey, you wanna buy??" We just ignored him. That was a first too (being offered drugs).

3. Steamboat Willie is Inappropriate
We went into this thing where they show Steamboat Willie episodes. Wow! They are raunchy, haha. The least "inappropriate" (it wasn't really inappropriate, it just didn't seem "Disney") thing was when a cow with the biggest udder you'll ever see is caught on a little plane. Mickey (er...Willie) tries to catch the plane and uses the cow to try and get up. He pulls down on the udder and milk squirts everywhere. This happens a few times, haha.

Another thing is that Minnie doesn't wear a shirt. I already knew this though. But what happened with her is that she jumps out of the plane and uses her bloomers as a parachute. She is shown with no shirt and no underwear. Now, I know there's nothing there, but it was still raunchy, haha.

The last thing is that Willie is a creepy pervert to Minnie. He asks for a kiss. She refuses. He gets mad and turns the plane upside-down as they are both in it. She starts falling and freaking out. He laughs but then catches her. He asks for a kiss again. She refuses again. He grabs her and forces a kiss on her. She slaps him. Hahaha.

4. There's this awesome spiral thing on the window of the magic shop. It's one of those crazy optical illusion type things. It spins around and you have to stare at the center for 30 seconds and then look at the back of your hand. It's so weird!!!!! It makes it look like the skin is bubbling or something. I actually have a video recorded. I'll post it on my Facebook soon (hopefully) and you can actually try it (if you're my friend and I actually know you, haha)!!

5. The last thing is that the Jungle Cruise is like my favorite non-thrilling ride now! The jokes are hilarious!!!! I've never been at night, and since the animals are harder to see, the ones they don't mention are replaced with jokes and it's so cheesy yet so hilarious! I loved it.

Those were some moments at Disneyland. There were a lot of fun times there though, but these were stand-out ones.

Thanks for reading this particularly long post!

The Day Where Things Seem To Be Going Well

Hi there,

So, I haven't posted anything in a while. But things are looking up in my life!

Just tonight, I passed my Eagle Scoutmaster Conference. Think of it as like a final in Boy Scouts, I suppose. It was not as difficult as I thought it'd be, but I definitely learned a lot during it. I have to be more confident when I go for the Board of Review. Anyways, I'm one step closer to Eagle Scout (only a couple steps away).

Also, we've had our drama performances this past weekend and they went spectacularly well! There may have been a few mishaps, but overall, it was fun and the audience seemed to enjoy it! I'm excited for Saturday's performances.

This is something really small, but I feel like saying it anyway. In AP English, we read some student essays (anonymous) and the teacher happened to pick mine. It turns out that I wrote a good essay because people gave it an 8 out of 9 (the AP essay grading scale). I was happy. I didn't want them to know who wrote it though, but they figured it out because I'm not good at lying. But now, I'm kind of sharing this with anyone who is reading this...haha.

Well, life in general is just going pretty well right now. I like it.

Bye,

The Day Where I Finally Got My Permit

Hello,

So, today, I finally went to take my learner's permit written test at the DMV. It was extremely crowded and very loud. A mother had trouble controlling her young children. Phones were ringing off the hook (literally, they were cell phones). Numbers were being called out every so often. Luckily, I made an appointment. After all the technicalities, I got to take my awkward picture (yeah, I decided to smile) and try to sign a good signature on the slippery touch pad.

I went into the small room where you take the actual written exam. It was quiet. Well, I got 100% on it, so I was very happy! I now have my permit. It's about time too. Once I get insured, I'll start to drive...what a scary thought.

The Day Where Everything Piled Up

Hey there,

So, this start of the week has been interesting. I have so many things going on, I don't know if I'm able to balance it all. Now, I know I need Jesus to help me, but I'll get back to that later.

Here is what I have going for me this week:

• Written permit test (finally...)
• Memorize a Shakespearan monologue by Wed.
• Take two AP Macroeconomics quizzes online by Wed.
• Finish my Pre-Calculus homework
• Finish my AP Chemistry homework
• Get something for my mom's birthday on Friday
• Learn songs for the play (first performance next week)
• Obtain 5 blank CDs for my friend
• Fill out a scholarship thing
• Fill out a DMV form by Thursday
• Study for my Scoutmaster Conference (should've done that a while ago...)
• And probably more that I can't think of...

So, I have a lot, I suppose. I mean, not ALL of these NEED to be done by this week (like two of them), but they are long overdue. The worst part of this is that for some reason, I feel sad. I don't know exactly why. I just hate this feeling.

One thing I have completely FAILED on was to spend time with God everyday. It was one of my New Year resolutions. I was reading the One Year Bible, but unfortunately, I missed a few days. I didn't even like read anything or have a private prayer time or anything...

So, I guess life is just taking a left turn right now (there's one other major thing going on that involves my living situation). I mean, now that I am actually typing this all out, it really doesn't seem that bad (my life, that is). What am I complaining for when there's someone so much less fortunate than I am. At least I have a place to live...

Well, like I said earlier, I need Jesus. I need to start spending time with Him on a daily basis again. I need to quit being so dang selfish and so darn prideful and just take action and follow His commands. Isn't it the worst when you know you're totally wrong and you know that you need to change, but then, you don't really do anything about it? That's kind of what our weekly chapel (since I go to a Christian school) was like this morning.

I do have dreams that I want to see happen, but they won't happen unless I do something about it. Unfortunately, some of my "dreams" or desires aren't always what God wants for me. Some may even be sinful. So, what do I do about it? I guess the first step is to pray.

Well, once again, procrastination has gotten in the way. It's time to push it out of the way and get to work.

The Day Where I Decided to Be A Better Friend

Hi!

So, I feel like I take more than I give when it comes to my friends. My friends are so amazing and they always help me with things or do me favors when I ask. But I'm afraid I might not be showing that same kind of love toward them. I want to be the friend they remember as someone who was a great friend back to them. I don't want a bunch of time to pass where we don't see each other and then when we do see each other, they're thinking, "Oh, it's just Jeff. He wasn't that good of a friend."

To all my friends: If there is anything at all I can do for you, just tell me! If you need prayer for something specific, tell me and I'll pray for you (pray with you if you want). If you have a favor you need, tell me and I'll perform it to the best of my ability. If you just want to hang out, please tell me. Hopefully, we can work something fun out! If you need someone to talk to, tell me! I like to think I keep things secret if someone asks not to tell anyone. (I really hope I do).

So, since no one reads this blog, I'm going to have to post it to Facebook, haha.

Much love,
Jeff (Jujii8)

The Day Where I Procrastinated

Hi there!

So, this day I'm talking about is called Every...

I hate procrastination, but I love it so much. I have to write these essays for this scholarship and I kind of have to finish by tomorrow (kind of) and so far, I have written 3 of 8...

Today, after school and drama rehearsal, I spent time on Facebook, watching TV, and a little bit on YouTube. I should be writing those essays though. And now, I'm doing this blog...I am so good at procrastination, it's not even funny.

Okay, so in light of what I just said above, I'm going to go now and hopefully start on my essays.

Bye!!!

The Day Where Christmas Break Ended

Hey,

Since this is only my 3rd post, I'm assuming that no one is reading this, haha. But I'll still write out feelings and stuff.

So, if you don't know me, then you don't know that I actually enjoy school. Today is the last day of Christmas break (meaning I have school tomorrow). I'm excited!! I love going to school! I hate homework. I absolutely loathe it. I'm normal in that sense. This brings me to my next point: procrastination. I have some homework due tomorrow that I'm starting now. It stinks because I don't really get it at all. Now, I wanted to be semi-normal and try to blow it off, but it's really not working. It's not the way I was designed. I really do care about my grades, so I want to try and do this, but like I said before, I really don't get it. I don't know what I'm going to do there...

Well, in other "news", I had drama rehearsal today. It's the first one since before break started. I hadn't practiced any of my songs during break (procrastination/laziness), but I was okay. I am generally a quick learner. That doesn't justify sin though...but it was fun seeing a lot of my friends again!

Scholarships are very useful, but they are also very stressful. I have to finish applying for a scholarship and I just found out that I have to write 9 mini essays by Jan. 11. Woohoo...

So, I'm not going to waste anymore time now (actually, I probably might...), so I'll leave you with these words: AVOID PROCRASTINATION!

The Day Where 2010 Started

Hello!

So, 2010 started. This will be an insanely short post by the way. Right now, I'm watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Haha, I forgot how much I actually like this movie.

Anyways, here a few New Years resolutions:

• Spend time with God every single day
• Use a calendar
• Think of others before myself
• Quit procrastination

There's a lot more, but I don't have a lot of time. So, I'll end it now, haha.

Bye!
