Apr. 30, 2008 - Prom Night.
Jessica calls me and asks if I could be someone's date for a spring formal. I said yes right away because I don't mind doing things like that. and she was like really really really? and I was like really really really? The thing is I had a piano recital last night also, so I had to call my piano teacher to move my playing slot up so I could leave early, which she did. So I left early all dressed up for this prom thing. We get there and I knew a few people and everybody was just walking in and nothing much was happening, but after we started dancing, oh man, I was close to the life of the party, it kinda rotated between myself and Chase, but later on in the party I think Chase was tired so I kinda took over, and also everyone knew Chase, very few people knew me. So I'm dancing and twice I got people going, "go andrew, go andrew, go andrew" so that was pretty amazing, and I tried my hand at break dancing which I know I didn't do very well, but people still thought it was cool, fun and when I messed up they all thought it was funny, everybody had a great time. So I also started dancing with this one girl in particular towards the end for like an hour straight and I got her number (hehehe) cause I'm just smooth like that ( I didn't even have to ask for it ) that's how the master does it. ooooh yeah, so I had A LOT OF FUN like WHOA! and I get to go back next year, so watch out! cause I'll be even better then :)

Apr. 29, 2008 - Scientists of Faith
Here's my first book review:
Title: Scientists of Faith
Author: Dan Graves
Rating: 1 out of 10
OK, so, I didn't actually finish reading it and that's because I didn't like how it was written. My mom who also read some of it agrees with me. Graves hasn't seemed to have mastered the complete thought. He seems to jump around a little bit and his ideas don't just flow off the page like they should if you are a good writer. I've read books before that are laid out like this, many people with 1-5 pages about them. They're good books in general, but this one just isn't written very well. I guess you could learn something from it, but I would not enjoy reading it. I would not suggest this book to anyone I know, for pleasure, or for a school text book.

Mar. 28, 2008 - Been Busy...
I have neglected many of my friends, but it’s just because I don’t have much time anymore, well recently, hopefully after spring break you guys will hear from me more...I did however make two new duct tape rings because I felt like it. I always wear my black and white one, well since I made them I mean, but these two new ones I’m basically just experimenting with a new design for rings, and it’s alright, girls would probably like it more than guys, and besides they do have pink on them haha, I couldn’t find my white duct tape so I had to improvise. So I’ll go do that, hopefully I’ll catch some free time tonight but I don’t know. At least mom was nice enough to cook a supper I specifically asked for tonight, that makes me a little more cheerful, and I got paid today so I have two whole reason to be smiling today.
I have to go to a page meeting tonight for piano festival, which is tomorrow, which I will be at from like 9 in the morning til 4 in the afternoon, however I get free pizza for lunch so I don’t mind. Usually it’s kinda fun and at least one of my friends does it each year, but none of them will work all day. It’s not that hard, you show people which judge room to go to so they can play, and every now and then you ask the judges if they need anything like a drink or another pencil...you also get to snack all day because they provide things for the pages and the judges and since I do all day, I get a free pizza what then! and usually at the end they give you like one of those free chicken sandwhiches from Chick-fil-a...so that’s about it for what’s going on in Andrew’s life, tune in next post to find out what happens next!

Mar. 25, 2008 - FYI
Most of the blogs I post on here are from my myspace, that's just so I'll at least post something on here and then I might get in the habit of posting blogs exclusively for here but most of those would only involve things like when I have a problem with someone on myspace so I post it on here so they can't read it. Hehehe I'm so sneaky!

Mar. 25, 2008 - Improper Spelling and Grammar
Just about drives me crazy. I don't mind when you just don't actually know how to spell some giant outrageous word, cause I have that problem too, but when you substitute numbers in for words, that basically annoys me, when you use the wrong to (meaning to, too, or two) that annoys me (or there, they're, and their) to be perfectly honest with you I hate English and all those activities of which one is the correct tense or whatever, but it bothers me when you put the wrong word there! It just does, learn how to spell! I can put up with because I know how to read that kind of stuff, and if you're my friend I will deal with it because most likely I'm used to whatever ones you do. However if you've never met me and you spell 'supposed to' 'sapposed to' or 'definitely' 'difinately' it just makes you seem dumb. Why? because that's how my brain works, another why you might ask is why am I blogging on this subject? Well I don't know actually it was just on my mind, I hadn't encountered anyone using this except in a status update on myspace, maybe that's what made me think of it. Just letting you know a little about me and my opinion.

Mar. 24, 2008 - I'm sick
it started with an itch in my throat which turned into an aching throat and a cough which turned into an aching throat with a clogged up nose and sinus area, which turned into a aching throat with a cough, clogged up nose and sinus area with a lot of pressure, which turned into all of the above with a fever and a headache. I'm not a very happy camper at the moment.
On top of that I need to get some school done, which I doubt I'll get much done which means I'll need to do even more during spring break. Mom says if I don't get better I'll have to go to the doctor tomorrow, and I really don't like going to the doctor's so you can sit in the waiting room for three hours and then go sit in the examination room for another hour and then have a stranger come feel your balls. Although I guess that isn't neccesarily what would happen tomorrow, but I throughly hated it when it happened last time.
Anything else? Not really Life hasn't been too bad just busy and now I've been sick which makes everything seem that much worse. That's about it though I'm going to go lie back down in my bed...

Mar. 18, 2008 - I find this strange...
This afternoon a little after six I got a phone call. I didn’t know who it was, but they knew my name. This was my first concern, because I hate when I don’t know who’s calling me because they don’t identify themselves. So anyway she goes on with normal conversation making small talk. and I ask who this is. She says it’s Briana. like I’m supposed to know immediately who it is. and I’m like how’d you get my number and she says I gave it to her. I started racking my brains and I couldn’t think of the last time I gave someone my number. So I’m like where’d we meet, and she said in the Footlocker in the mall. and I’m thinking and said allowed, I don’t go to the Footlocker. and she says oh, you gave it to me like three years ago! WHAT!? I don’t give people my number now I didn’t remember being so daring when I was 12, so she goes on explaining that today she cleaned her room and found it, because she lost it three years ago and hadn’t found it since. So I said you’re desperate for a boyfriend and decided to call me (she already asked if I was single and if I wanted to meet) and she’s like yeah. So I basically said no, but we talked for another ten minutes, then she had to go and I was kind of grateful honestly. BUT she said she’d call back...darn.
In other news, I got my first book from Kregel, I have to write a review by May 1st, so be looking for it...

Mar. 16, 2008 - Ridgecrest
It was alright, Seesalt is better, Chillipepper is better, Look Up Lodge is better, Camp Awanta is better, oh that would mean this one is the worst retreat I've been too, however the speaker was great, and the worship times were great, everything else was pretty bad.
I wasn't doing too well with Tori being there, I'll say it, it hurt, just to look at her it would hurt, oh well, after much much prayer throughout the day I kinda got over it and on the way back we even sat next to each other, contrary to what my mind tries to tell me she doesn't hate me. Although when we did talk it was about us, and I know I go back to it, but to me I don't know, here always saying maybe or not really talking about it just doesn't help. However I would prefer a maybe to an outright no (well depends on what it is..) I guess I press it too much, but I don't have much else to talk about, I won't get half the things that involve school, cause I don't go to school, I could talk about family...idk, friends sure, I don't think she can talk to me about how she feels though, maybe she doesn't really know what she feels, and that's alright I'm trying to give her time, I'm trying to just be friends, but you know, when I'm within ten feet of her...I want to hug her or hold her hand so badly it's insane, and much of why I secluded myself from the group was because of that. It was torture half the time. It's like making an addict look at some cocaine that if he took he'd be killed. If I had done something I probably would have made her more distant I would have once again screwed up something with our relationship.
I want to get back together with her...is that going to happen? Most likely no. I have maybe a 3% chance. at least currently, things can change, but it won't happen for awhile.
On the plus side I've grown much closer to God over all this. I pray almost every time I think about her (which is a lot) it's usually for her happiness, protection, and for us to at least be friends. I prayed about a lot of things, but what surprised even me was that I thanked God for it all and I said over and over BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD. It reminded me of Job through all his things (loosing his family, herds, house, servants, friends, basically everything) He praised God through it all, and so did I. I felt consumed by God while I prayed like he was blessing me, like he was there for me, like I was the only one he was listening to. It was so Amazing!
Whatever happens with this I'll be alright, yes it will probably take me a long time, but I'll be alright in the end. God has been helping me and he will keep helping me.

Feb. 26, 2008 - So, I'm single
I really got dumped last week, but I hadn't blogged about cause I didn't want Tori to see anything I wrote about it, but then I remembered that she doesn't have a homeschoolblogger account, so I can just type it in here and she'll never know, muhahaha. Anyway, she told me that she supposed we were going to break up and she didn't really explain why which is dumb if you ask me. So then I went to Walt Disney World and I said just tell me when I get back I guess what your final answer is. So I get back and I have a message from the day before saying we were over, and I was like oh well...so that's that basically we had a couple of arguments and yes I cried a little if you must know, a lot of praying and asking God to give me understanding, endurance, strength, and patience, but most of all I asked him that she would be happy, cause that matters a lot to me. So through all this I got closer to God, and that's important.
The thing that bugs me though, based off her bulletins that she has posted on myspace, and occasionally her status update it seems that after we dated for seven months it took her less than seven days to replace me with some other guy...and that hurt, it made me feel pretty darn worthless...and when we broke up I got another dose of "oh, you're a great guy, I love you, we just won't work" what kind of crap is that? I've heard that sort of thing everytime. So once again I probably won't be dating anyone for like five months, like the last time I had this happen, besides I should probably just wait until I can drive to date...that'd make it a little bit easier, oh well I'm ok, practically over her already though I have moments, I really don't like thinking about another guy being with her, but oh well it'll happen eventually and I'll have to face it. I'd still like to be friends with her, I just don't wanna feel the pain anymore.
hopefully my next blog will be a happy subject

Jan. 31, 2008 - Top ten list
For school I had to submit a top ten list of reasons why I should get a scholarship.
Top Ten List
The following are the top ten reasons why I should get this scholarship:
10. If I save one thousand dollars towards school expenses, I will have enough money to buy gas to visit Mom and Dad on Christmas break.
9. Winning will be the first step to getting recognized as having talent for a job as a top ten writer for Late Night with David Letterman.
8. With financial freedom, there will be more time to spend volunteering with campus organizations and serving those in need.
7. One thousand dollars would mean approximately 200 more hours of study time instead of saying, “Would you like fries with that?”
6. I need the scholarship, because when I graduate from high school Mom and Dad are going to Disney World and will be unavailable.
5. Instead of being a starving student, with these funds there will be sufficient means to buy a meal ticket.
4. Athletic scholarships are not on the radar screen, so I have to rely on my creative genius to qualify for scholarship funds.
3. With the extra money, not only would tuition be more affordable, I could purchase books for class as well.
2. This prize will allow me to do my part in keeping tuition costs down by bringing in scholarship funds to the school of my choice.
and the number one reason is...
1. After twelve years of home schooling, I need the funds to assist me in escaping the house.
