I literally haven't updated this since last year, so i'm doing it now I'm in England right now, having lots of fun :3 I've taken, literally, a thousand pictures (to be fair, many of them are going to be deleted because I kind of get a little camera-happy and take 12 pictures of the same thing. I'm flying to Belgium today, and will be back in England in 3 days, and then back in Florida (where I live) in 3 weeks. I got my SAT scores last week, and am very very very happy with my scores (because they mean that I should definitely NOT have to go my local community college, not that there's anything wrong with community college, but IRSC is as boring as a college can get.) I saw Phantom of the Opera at West End It was so amazing. I'm also kind of alarmed to hear that Andrew Lloyd Weber is writing a Phantom of the Opera II, and John Waters (or is it Walters? I can't remember,) is writing a Hairspray II. I hope they're good- a bad sequel has the unparalleled ability to ruin the original

Hah, in myi last journal I resolved not to wait 3 months for my next journal. That was 3 months ago.

Anywhooooo, I figure I might as well do this, just to prove I wasn't eaten by a travelling horde of zombies. I really haven't done all that much on here in the last eon or so, except add about a thousand faves. Literally. It's madness.

Uhm, I jumped on the Twilight bandwagon, after months of making fun of people who read them. I'm kind of a hypocrite. I also read "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," by J.K.Rowling, for charity. It's quite nice to revisit my beloved Harry Potter universe. Other than that, I'm reading about 32 books at the same time.

My favorite show of all time forever and ever "Skins" finished about 2 weeks ago. Not very happy about that, although the finale was amazing. Oh, and I did alright in our regional theatre competititon

I went to a Madonna Concert <3 T'was amazing. She rode onstage in a 20's style car. Through the course of the concert, she beat up some Madonna impersonators, Got in a boxing match with her dancers, fought with some ninjas and samurais, and danced non-stop for about 3 hours. Very high energy concert =]

I've developed an unhealthy obsession with comic books, especially X-men, and Batman. I've been hitting the local comic book store preeeety hard. I'm probably going to end up some fat comic-book guy, like the guy from the Simpsons, or a crazy cat-woman, or a crazy fat comic-book collecting, cat-woman. I'm very optimistic about the future =]

I got an iPod touch for my Xmas. It's my baby *hugs iPod* Of course, I haven't figured out how to get music onto it yet, but that's not important, heh heh heh.

HAVE A LATE MERRY CHRISTMAHANNUHKWANZAKUH, AND A HAPPY NEW YEARS! SEE YOU IN HELL '08! If you have facebook, my name is Christopher Yates, if you feel the need to have more friends (XP)

Let's see it's been 3 months without me doing one of these, and I figure I should let people know I haven't died or anything.

So, let's see, last few months. Wow, it's amazing how 3 months of memory disappears when you need to write it down.

Uhm, I saw Bill Clinton! I can't believe he came to Fort Pierce, but he did. I've been volunteering at the local Obama HQ, and I can tell you that canvassing (going door to door to talk to voters) SSSSSUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKS! Late at night, in the rain, going door to door inbetween vast expanses of forest and foreclosed homes, so that some rednecks can get angry and start screaming, and threaten you with their monster dogs. Not as fun as it souns.

Halloween! My friends and I went as Batman villains--I was the penguin, and other friends were Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Scarface (the ventriloquist dummy that kills people) etc. We had a good time--in our neighborhood, it's okay for 16 year olds to go trick or treating XD

Watched "Speed Racer." I hate car/action movies more than I hate fox news, (and gawd do I hate Fox News) but this movie was actually really good! I mean, the plot and dialogue were garbage, but I think it's very special when you can put a movie on mute (without subtitles) and still enjoy it. It's a freaking beautiful movie. It's kind of got a retrofiftiespopart meets japan2000yearsinthefuture thing going on, and it's absolute eye candy. My eyes almost watered from all the neon.

Uhm, let's seeee, recent obsessions. The British Tv Drama show "Skins" comes to mind--watch it religiously every Sunday, usually go to school the next day perfectly aware of how mundane my life is. Uhm, been reading a SHITLOAD--lot of nineteenth century romanticism, decadence, aesthetecism, all of the above. Catcher in the Rye was amazing--it should be legally mandatory that everyone reads it, honestly, it really should.

Been screaming at people in my school (seniors who can vote) to vote NO ON AMMEDMENT FUCKING TWO. That would be the fourth law in Florida banning gay marriage--after all, 3 laws just aren't enough! Those gay people will just keep on attacking families!

I probably have over a thousand faves now. Been spending a truckload of time categorizing them all into little themes, which nobody will notice but me, but oh well, i have a thing for compulsive organization.

This is far, far too long. Should prolly not wait 3 months to make another, and then they can be less essay-length. Gawd, I hope nobody actually wated their lives reading all this...but it's nice to vent.

Hope you all are doing well! *pathetic last minute attempt to appear less self-centered and egocentric*

*shot*

Wow, it's been months since I made a journal, so here it is. *voila* With a broken camera, no scanner, and a digital art system that was first used by humans in the Paleolithic era, I like to think it's a miracle that I submit anything at all =] Right now, with Tropical Storm Fay, My house is an island, my front drive is a pool, and the deck in my back yard is a pier. 20 inches of rain turns out to be quite alot! In a way, it's been even worse than a hurricane, because at least they're quick, and afterwards you can drive around (i'd have to take a cone to get my mail, that is, if my mail box hadn't floated away already.) Wow, this journal has been really whiny thus far!

Uhm, let me think of something positive.......no school? Nah, that's not positive, because we'll probably make it up on Halloween (I was overjoyed to discover that they gave us Halloween, and Hallows eve off, but they'll probably take it back now.)

The Olympics!!! I love gymnastics. I usually root for people who haven't aleady won a million medals already, so although Michael Phelps and his 12,000 calories a day diet may be cool, I kinda wish someone else would stand a chance.

Okay, this torturous journal has gone on far too long now, I hate to think anybody may have actually READ all this whining.

School's officially OVER!
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
No more worrying
No more freaking out
No more studying all night
No more having 99999999999 sheets of paper everywhere
No more waking up at 5:00
No more wondering if my stupid teacher got my grades right
No more pretending to like people I hate
No more super-stress
No more INTERNATIONAL BACCALUAREATTE PROGRAM!

Well, for a few months anyway.
Oh, and I'm treating myself.
I just bought tickets
TO A MADDONNA CONCERT!
The Sticky and Sweet tour is coming to Miami =]

Oh, and im probably going to be the Production Manager for my school's Drama Department next year, AND vice president of the make-a-difference-club, so altogether, im prettydamn happy right now.

(Note: this is the same as the last journal, because the bottom section didn't load, so I redid it, sorry, heh heh heh )
