Dreaming of Pirates...

The journal of a boy


Day 1: July 1, 2007

Dear Diary me and my parent's have just gotten back from seeing the final Pirates of the Caribean movie. It was really great! I heard a few people whining about it not living up to the first two. idiots. People do that about everything. Just like they used to say Scary Movie 3 wasn't as good as 2 but when 4 came out they hailed 3 as greatest thing ever and said 4 was horrible. Whatever, I liked it that's all that matters. C ya tomorrow!

Day 2: July 2, 2007

Hi Diary. I'm back. One of my friends almost found you. I wouldve DIED of embarrasment. But who care's about that? ITS MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 3: July 3, 2007

Birthday. Turning 13. Don't have time.

Day 4: July 4, 2007

Well Diary now that I'm 13 my parent's say I have to give you up. I don't really want to but I have to. They say I can keep you in a package somewhere. But I can't use you anymore. Sory... Bye









...




A year or so later...





August 30, 2008

Whoa! I remember this thing! Man, has it been that long? Weeeeeell, I've got enough free time. I guess I might as well start up using you again. But let's rub out the words that say "Diary" and put in "Journal". Just for my own self esteem. I'll do it later though, I'm too lazy right now.
Hah, I looked through my older stuff, MAN oh MAN was I immature! Sheesh, oh well. I guess I oughta get started on describing my day.
School just recently came back into my life. Joy, right? Yeah, well I met this girl. She's pretty interesting, she's obsessed with this cartoon thingy called "Nightmare Before Christmas" and just about anything this guy named Tim Burton has made. After enough of her raving to me about it, I checked it out, and instantly fell in love. This isn't a "cartoon thingy" it's a masterpiece! A work of art! I can't even describe how ecstatic I was to come across this it.
That was about an hour ago. Then I found you, and now we're here. I'll tell her my opinion on it tomorrow. This year might actually be pretty nice!

August 31, 2008

I told her I watched it, she was happy. We kinda raved for a bit. Hah, I even went on to telling her that about something I was interested in, Naruto! She then proceeded to slap me in the face. Apparently she's hates "otakus" or something like that and told me to never bring it up again. I nodded, wide eyed. It's not a big deal, I'm not the hugest fan anyway.
Oh, also, I got a detention. Yeah, THIS early in the school year! I don't even really believe it myself. Hah, guess why I got it! Friggen tardies, TARDIES! Seriously! What a lame excuse to make someone stay after school.... Whatever, I'm sure my parents will understand.
Speaking of parents, they bought me a Wii for my birthday a few months ago! I'm (still) so happy. I'm rocking it out on Metroid Prime 3 as we speak. I'm typing at save points, pretty much. Uh-oh, Ridley! Seeya tomorrow!

September 1, 2008

So I've got great news today, but I'll save that for last. Gotta get a few other things out of the way first. So, I attended the detention, right? Well, this school's detention is a complete and total joke. They pretty much just let you sit there and get on your laptop (Another story, another time)all day. Not too bad. But anyway, while I was there the lady watching us was giving me a really odd look. Kind of like the look you give someone when you REALLY hate them just so you can hate them. I guess she didn't notice that I could see her. So I turned my music up louder... And louder... And louder... Then... She walked up and yelled, " IS IT LOUD ENOUGH!?" I responded, by turning the volume up more. She then grabbed my laptop, and chucked it across the room. Hah, normally this would be tragic. Seeing as though you ARE on it. But it landed in another kids self-sustaining gelatin project... And was stuck. Thankfully after a clean-out the laptop performed just fine. But I've gotta say, I have never laughed as hard as I did when I saw the look on her face, when she noticed how much she failed at being intimidating.
But about the laptops, I guess I should explain where your home came from. Well, a few teachers went to another school to check out how they were doing with laptops. They liked what they saw, so they decided to bring them to our school. But of course, the parents had a fuss. They whined and moaned about how " The kids won't get anything done!" and " We can't control what they do on these things!" In fact, there was actually one day when the parents conspired together and prevented almost half the school from going to school. It was like a snow day, only the sky wasn't spewing out freezing cold ice, just steaming parents. Of course, we needed an education, so we ended up inevitably going again. But we got laptops around a month later. And I found you inside a folder on one of my thousands of blank CDs, labeled "Package."
But enough about that, I'm sure you want to hear the great news, don't you!? I got a new friend! His name is Jim, really scruffy and skinny lookin' dude. But he's a hardcore gamer and I really get along with him. Oh, he's also obsessed with Metal, he's even got GIGANTIC dreads. He showed me a few songs, I was skeptical, but interested. Really going to look into "Slipknot".
That's about all today!

September 2, 2008

Not a very interesting day. Jim AND Amanda were gone, so I just kinda sat around and tried to avoid contact with people. My step-dad picked up this book called " Jesus, AND YOU!" and is going to force me to read a chapter every night until I either die or I'm 70. Whichever comes first.

Otherwise, not a very eventful day.

September 3, 2008

Sick. Been on the computer all day. Met a few people online though! I also found this website called "DeviantArt"! People post up art there and other people rate them, or something. I posted up a pic I spent a few hours on... Of stickmen. I'm not very good at it yet. Actually, I really hate drawing. But I had to put SOMETHING up. Right? I'm really into literature, which is pretty much all that's going up, when I actually have time. I'm not a very fast typer, but I'm getting there. I'm starting to use Instant Messaging programs. Getting better everyday!

September 4, 2008

Sick... Still. Thank God it's the weekend. I can't afford to miss more school.

Not much today. I didn't do just about anything all day long. So... Yeah.

September 5, 2008

Feeling a lot better than yesterday. I'll be OK for school tomorrow. Thank God....
Strange thing happened, got a call from Amanda. She sounded really distressed and just, unnerved in general. She said she's got a few problems with her parents going on and that it's nothing I should stress over.  

September 6, 2008

Raining outside, just got back from school. I had to walk, no fun. I missed a few tests last Friday, so now I have to make up for them tomorrow, joys. Also, Amanda came to school crying, I have no idea why, she pretty much just shut me and Jim out the whole day! So yeah, I pretty much enjoyed my school experience.
When I got home I was greeted with a note from my parents. They're out of town, got the house to myself. Thinking about inviting over Jim to ease the boredom. But I dunno. Kinda just feel like going to sleep...

September 8, 2008

I'm back! Sorry for missing yesterday. We went on a field trip for school and didn't get back till 10:00 at night. They don't let us carry laptops on the bus. I was so exhausted that I didn't even get to brush my teeth! I just kinda collapsed right when I got home!
But about today, not very fun. Again. Amanda seems to be becoming more and more distant, Jim is stressed over all the homework piling up on him, and I'm stuck in the middle of emo girl and PMS guy duking it out every day. I swear they can't go near each other without tearing each other's throats out. e. I usually have to interrupt or make everyone happy again with my witty and nonsensical "charm".... Which just ends up landing me a spot in the argument and EVERYONE being unhappy. I feel like the friggen glue holding our friendship together... Sigh, whatever.
Wii broke down. Electricity shot through the controller cord to the Wii and screwed it up, because SOMEONE (AKA: Little Brother) had the bright idea to swing it around and screwing up the cord. It was a Gamecube controller. I was going to play Smash Bros. Melee. Oh, and it was one of those crappy ones, you know, MadCat brand? Yeah, one of those. Ah well, we're sending it to go and get fixed. My dad says he has a few 'connections' that'll do it for us. I don't care, I just want my Wii back! I was SO close to beating Metroid Prime 3 today! Aaaaaargh! Not like Dark Samus is hard or anything. It's just that every damn time I try to beat her, something comes up. The first time, my mom made me take out the trash in the middle of the battle, and by the time I got back, my brother had shut it off and started playing Pikmin! After that, my dad wanted to help him work on the house, then I was about to miss my favorite show, the list goes on, the gist of it is. I've had 99% completion for the past 3 days now, and it's going to be a month until we get the Wii fixed. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait...
There is SOME good news though. I randomly got inspiration for a story today. And by randomly, I mean I was taking a crap and I had a spark of inspiration. It's about this sea-dwelling animal that's indigenous to the coast of Japan. It's mainly blue and has a white underbelly, at the end of both sides of it's mouth is a little orange spot. It has a huge dorsal fin tail. Super cute, haven't made a name yet. But I'm thinking about, "Mudkip".... Or not, maybe I'll just go with "Torchick" like I had originally planned. Anyway, it's this animal thing, and people are hunting them down because of a rare substance engraved into the Mudkip's belly. No one really knows what it is, because no one has ever succeeded in capturing a Mudkip. But rumors go around that it makes your PL (Power Level), a measurement of ones abilities physically and mentally, reach over 9000. Which is impressive, seeing as though the average humans is usually at least 100. Or around 150. Dunno. But I know that I finally have something COMPLETELY original and MINE. Which is a great feeling, plus it's also nice the be able to actively write again. I've been so lazy lately. But I digress, this is about Mudkips. Well, this one guy hears about this myth and instantly starts researching. After a week or two he hears about the location of a grotto that houses a LOT of Mudkips.... Actually, that's all I have so far. I have the basic concept of the rest, but I don't really have it as well elaborated. Shrug, maybe I'll have more tomorrow.

September 13, 2008

Tests, LOTS AND LOTS of TESTS! The past few days I don't think I've had a break from studying! Whether it was quizzes, pre-assessments, Tests, etc. For some odd reason I ended up studying in some shape or form. The stress is raelly getting to me. It's even getting to Jim and Amanda... speaking of which. They got into another fight over som pointless thing again today. Almost ended up actually geting physical! I had to run in there and stop ti. Sheesh, I really think that if I wasn't there, they would've torn each other apart by now.
No good news today.

September 18, 2008

Things have calmed down since the 13th. Everyone's a little bit less after each other's throats. The stress level has decreased tenfold. Only a few weeks till the Wii comes back!

September 21, 2008

I had a talk with Amanda about why she doesn't get along with Jim. After awhile we agreed that they just had too many opposing view points, that and that she has just as much testosterone as he does!
Finished my story, the guy gets owned by the Mudkips at the end. Sorry to ruin it for ya', but you really aren't going to be reading it anytime soon, are you? Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll show it to Mandy (Amanda) tomorrow.

September 22, 2008

I showed it to her, she liked it. Jim thought it was kind of dumb. But that's pretty much how it's always been. Mandy's always been the more supporting one, but Jim is always there when I need him. Got the best of both worlds. Oh! She also gave me a few suggestions on how to improve my story. Instead of the power being in every Mudkip's belly, the power itself is a giant entity that the Mudkips protect. I thought it was a good idea. She also said that I should make the main character a teenager, so the audience can relate better. Actually the first time I've had a complete conversation with her in a long time.

September 22, 2008

Pirates....

September 23, 2008

Jim slapped Amanda
I have NO idea how it happened, I have NO idea why he did it I just know that he did it and I'm pissed. I would elaborate more on it, but I really need to go figure out what's going on. I'll explain tomorrow when I have more information.

September 24, 2008

Ok, I know what happened. They got in another fight, this time it was a little personal though. Apparently Jim had had a thing for Mandy this whole time. When he saw us talking the other day he got jealous and confronted her about it the next day. She defended herself denying having any interest in me, but he didn't buy into it. He got all pissy, slapped her, and pushed her down. That's where I came in. He just left after that, and she ran away, crying. I didn't feel good about just leaving the situation like that, but what was I going to do? Amanda was already long gone by the time the shock wore off, and Jim would probably just try to get into a fight with me. Which was NOT going to happen. Plus, I was sick of all this High School Drama. Everything has to be SO serious and epic. It's just a little bit tiring at times, you know? So I just left, went home, wrote up that little Journal entry, and went to sleep.
Today, Amanda explained to me what happened. We've kinda shunned Jim. He's not making too much of a fuss about it, I don't think he really liked me much in the first place. Probably just used me to get to Mandy. Don't know, don't care, I'm not forgiving him, and if he tries to pull another stunt like that, there'll be hell to pay.

September 24, 2008

Are you... Dreaming?

September 25, 2008

Well he isn't pulling another stunt here, that's for sure. I'll tell you the story... So, get this, I walk into the school this morning, normal day, feeling pretty good, pretty much prepared for anything. I sit next to Amanda like I normally do in the morning. But she looks a bit down. Of course, being the nice guy I am, I ask why.
Jim transferred out to a school halfway across the state.
Wait, here's the good part, the reason he transferred was because, he apparently received a DEATH threat from me. APPARENTLY, in his locker, I left a note. Reading,

" Dear Jim, go suck a dick. You're oh so annoying presence is becoming redundant. I loathe redundancy. Therefore I loathe you. If you  even try to get Amanda in on it, I'll bring a gun, and I'll end it all. I know you love her, Jim. I know you do, better than even you know. She's MINE. Back off, or I'll kill you."

Complete bullshit. I didn't write a single word. It's fake, he's trying to frame me! Bloody hell, I managed to convince them it wasn't mine by saying it wasn't my handwriting. It also helped that his parent's were considering moving even before the incident. It has to be a cruel prank. It just has to be.
Another piece of bullshit that flew on my lap today, was my mom's reaction to the whole damn thing! She got mad at me for it. Even after I explained everything to her I was still grounded. Ugh, I HATE her! She's SO damn irrational! No matter how much sense and facts I throw at her she just finds some damned excuse to stay angry at me. Ugh... They're yelling at me now. I have to go.

September 29, 2008

Still grounded, I'm sneaking on because I have to right this down! Well, after the whole event, and me clearing things up with Amanda about the note. We started getting really close. I mean, REALLY close. We're going out to the Water Tower tomorrow. That's the real reason why I had to get on. Gotta write this somewhere

Windmill
September 30th (Tomorrow)
5:00 PM
DON'T FORGET!!!

There we go. Oh, also, strange thing happened the day after I was grounded. My alarm clock disappeared. Strange. Doesn't really matter though, ever since it went missing I've been waking up by myself anyway.

September 30, 2008

Today was, by far, the single most amazing day of my life. I'm not grounded anymore (Pretty short right? I guess my dad stepped in and ended it early.)and I got my first kiss. Yeeeup! Finally, a mutual relationship with someone that isn't crazy! She really is the greatest person I've met. My only regret is that I didn't realize my feelings for her sooner.
But damn, if I ever... EVER... Get ahold of that Jim... Not even God himself would be able to stop me from killing him. I don't know how anyone could do something that cruel to someone as nice and as Mandy.

September 30, 2008

September 31, 2008

My Mp3 player is gone. I can't find it, anywhere. I just had it yesterday, I put it at the side of my bed, on the countertop, like I always do. But when I woke up, nothing was there.

October 3, 2008

Sorry I haven't been here for awhile, been hanging out with Mandy. Things have actually gotten much better lately. The whole fuss over Jim and me has died down and life has gone on. Rumors have started up that he was forming a gang over there to come and "kick my ass". But I seriously doubt it, he probably wouldn't waste a trip just for me.
My parent's don't seem to be lightening up. They're always angry at me and always trying to stop me from seeing Mandy, saying she's a "bad influence". I don't know what the hell they're talking about. She seems perfectly normal to me, and she's MY girlfriend. How would THEY know her better than ME? I swear... Sometimes I just wish I could just leave.

October 7, 2008

Wow, Journal, I'm beginning to type in you less and less frequently. I guess it's just the lack of stress. Well, today has been pretty boring, Amanda's out of town, and my parents are out doing whatever parents do. I'm just hanging out here with my little brother. Oh! By the way, Wii comes back tomorrow! FINALLY I can finish Metroid Prime 3!

October 9, 2008

Gosh, fucking, damnit. Grounded, AGAIN. RIGHT AT THE END OF THE BATTLE!!!! ARGH! Why the hell do they believe my brother over me? It was him, damnit! For shit's sakes, do they think I can't spell "dumbass"?
Ugh, I better calm down and explain. See, my parents went out, again. So I thought it'd be a good time to go ahead and finish up Prime 3. My brother, on the other hand, had other plans. And those plans pretty much consisted of writing "Stoopid ashole dumbases lol". I swear, that's exactly what he wrote, shitty grammar and all. But get this, my parent's come home and see it, then the little douche blamed it on me! And worst of all, they believed him! I can't believe anyone can be so dimwitted! I've never pulled a stunt like this on them in my entire life. They blamed it on "Stupid High School influences," because High School is the DEVIL. Fuck... I wish they'd just die and leave me alone...

October 9, 2008

Dreaming... The night... Dreaming... Alright?

October 10, 2008

Oh my God, OH MY GOD. They... They're.. All of them, they're all... Dead.  While I was gone, my brother used the Gamecube controller on the Wii again. But this time it didn't just short out, it exploded and the house caught fire. They couldn't make it out in time and... They're gone. And GOD DAMNIT I CAN'T GET THIS SONG STUCK OUT OF MY HEAD! Ever since I lost my Mp3 player disappeared I've been hearing "Highway To Hell" everywhere I go!

... The night....

Heh, I guess I should be sad, shouldn't I? I should feel SO bad that my parents are dead. Well, I'm not. I don't know why, but it didn't really effect me at all. Just kind of a "meh" situation. It's not really effecting me. I d--
