:lol: What'd you do to the kid?

In other news, I've decided to start another work of fiction, original this time. It's going to be (appropriately enough) a space travel work but told as a retrospective starting with the launch of humanities first spaceship but then flashing back to the journey to get there. I know how I want the work to begin and end the issue is coming up with something in the middle. In the end, I want the effect of the peace to be "Why we should care about going into space" but without coming across as preachy or bashing-the-audience-over-the-head-with-The-Message. Suggestions?

Had an issue, wouldn't do anything to let it get physical and then informed me then informed me that their parents worked odd hours and wouldn't show up for anything even if we called them. So I filled out a summons request with our Resource Officers (for those who don't know, we have a full time Commissioned Officer and Police Officer stationed in our school) and left the date blank. Then informed that if the parents didn't answer, we'd have them brought to us in cuffs.

Nope, both civilians which is why I'd need a summons and not just an order from the Base Commander.

Well, it turns out that I am officially the nerd of the High School, a girl who I have spoken to maybe once in my high school career sent me a message on fb to work on her iPhone... I love being such a nerd. :Nerd:

Be careful young man. If you keep going in that direction, your Iphone is all they'll let you work on :twisted:

Oh shush you two, go figure you two would be the ones to say something like that... But seriously, from another girl I got a LG Chocolate Touch to take apart, because it was broken, I get the broken stuff, which I have no problem taking and taking apart. I love that my friends will accept my nerdiness. It's awesome... Lol

Hey, it was just a joke. If you're happy with your friendship, that's all that matters.

Well, I had a great weekend. Hanging out with Uzume for two whole days, and getting to watch the finale of LOST with her was very special to me.

Unfortunately, I now have a case of post-LOST blues, and I'm already missing her again... dammit.
