Journal entries for October, 1995

Hey, goin to bed, just a short note. Brian was tryin to teach us to Ollie. I learned the end (Part 2) of Rust in Peace, and practiced TOS and SOD to the CD and TOC alone. Well, later!

YESSS!!!! I HAVE BOARDSHORTS!! They're Billabong. Got 'em for $34 at Kalichee (new surf shop here in the shopping center.) Besides that, tho, today kinda sucked. Adrianne left for the doctor before 5th p. so I only saw her an 8:30, and for Halloween the 10th gr. picked twin day. All my friends (girls too) already have pairs! It's either don't dress up and look like 'the outcast' or pair up with Sobrino or something like that. Besides that, ANNETTE asked to be my pair. God. Well, trying to learn an Ollie. It'll be awhile. Ffirst I need a real (or at least, decent) board. The only one I have is the 'Skoot 'n' Skate' that I got when I was 7. Huh. When (if) I finally get an Ollie down, I want to come back and check how long it took. So:

HERE: When I do an Ollie!!!!

Ok, well, Papi photocopied SOD for George. Only problem, it's wrong. It's missing a part. Just one measure, but it irks me to be *almost* perfect. I want to send e-mail to Marie, but I don't know their e-mail address. They're on CIS (don't know abt. the Net), so I'll connect and use the Member directory thingy. Well, I guess that's about it. Later.

AAAAAAH. I wrote out the tab for Symphony (8 pages printed!) and now it won't print it again. I need to give George a copy! Damn.

We're definitely going to play at least these 3 songs at the Rockfest or Battle of the Bands or whatever: Tornado of Souls, Train of Consequences, and Symphony of Destruction. OK, well, seeya.

Hey, what's up. Nothin' much is happening so this will be pretty short. Sent e-mail to Sarah and Mrs. B. Changed my .sig. Finished Cushing essay (poetry), working on cards proj. in Bilder. Surf shop opened in the shopping center. Really into skateboarding. D/l'd some sk8board stuff from the Net: some Mpegs, pics, lesson on how to do an Ollie, etc. Well, I guess that's it. Later. Oh yeah, got the yearbook today. Pretty cool. Learning Train of Consequences. OK, well bye.

Whoa, what am I doing up at this time on a school night? <he,he> Well, G'nite. Talk to ya tomorrow.

TABESTRY CAME YESTERDAY!!! YESS!!!!! Ok, well, today was a pretty good day. Don't know why. Had PSAT's, and I think I did pretty well. Doom has sound but no music when I play it in Windows, and music but no sound (as always) when I play it in DOS. So I have to decide which I want more and play it in that OS. Prob'ly Win95. Well, gotta work on essay (poetry). I also have to do those 2 Sources homeworks cuz the RC's coming and she's gonna start asking about it. Getting into skateboarding. Later.

Hey. We missed Guitar class yesterday!!! I totally forgot. Mami got back today. Andres and Grant were doing stuff with the ramp. When I went out, after Grant had left, he was sitting out there talking to this older kid. So I introduced myself and his name's Bryan. He plays sax, guitar, bass, etc., lives here in DDM, SURFS(!), skates, and is 13 (turning 14). Cool. Cleaned the HD today, now we have like 100 MB. Tried Doom, WE HAVE SOUND!!! I upgraded the sound drivers to Win95 versions. That's why. Well, gonna go play doom WITH SOUND. :)

Did it. Got it to work with IRQ 5, DMA 6. Going to Steve Vai tomorrow!!! YES!!! Got Countdown to Extinction. Gonna send demo tape to Silverchair to see if they want another guitarist. I doubt I can get in, but what the heck. Mami's cool with it; she says "Follow your dream." YES!!! I still like the same 3 (in order): Adrianne, Liz, Laetetia. C'Ya! OH! Gonna try and install AOL so I can go on MTV Yack Live. That would rock!!! Now, bye.

I handed in the essay. Yesterday we played at Plaza Aquatica. I named my band Fish. Cool. I have a major report due on Mo. in Spanish. Today's Sun. I still like Adrianne, but I am starting to like other people too, like Laetetia and Liz.
