In all seriousness, I'm not quite certain as to the reason why I haven't posted anything for over a week. So, in a painfully pathetic attempt to make up for about four posts that (if I owed any loyalty to the two-day updating ritual that I only claim to live by) I should have written, I will now summarize the last week of my life:
On Saturday, my best friend of nigh on eight years and I attempted once again to watch through all three extended editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy without falling asleep. And we failed miserably. Mostly because every time one of the movie's memes ("They're taking the hobbits to Isengard," "One does not simply *insert verb here* into Mordor," "Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew," etc.) came up, we'd look up the YouTube remix on my laptop and watch it through at least twice. After, of course, rewinding two seconds and replaying the quote about four times. Oh yeah, we're cool.
Despite having the day off from school on Monday, I was still obligated to attend orchestra rehearsal from seven to nine thirty, which put a looming storm cloud (not really) at the end of my evening. Not to mention that I forgot until I was dropped off at the doors of Mill Street Elementary School (our normal rehearsal space) that the rehearsal for that day had been switched to Wentz Concert Hall, a good seven-minute drive away. The rehearsals start at seven thirty, but the musicians are expected to "arrive fifteen minutes early in order to ensure prompt rehearsal start." My mother *cough* chauffeur *cough* had a miniature freak-out, being unable to recall the fastest route to the concert hall, whilst I said in the passenger seat, cursing like a sailor under my breath.

In unrelated news, I only yesterday looked through my wallet to ascertain exactly what my post-fifteenth-birthday wealth was, and received a pleasant surprise: I have ninety-two dollars to blow on whatever I want. And what did I choose?
You guessed it, nerdy t-shirts. Namely, these:

For a while I was rather torn between several different shirts, not knowing whether to choose the one emblazoned with an image of Navi, saying, "Hey! Listen!" or to go the more obscure route and purchase one with a shadowy figure performing HADOUKEN with the controller commands shown below. Already I am in possession of the following nerdy t-shirts:
- Exterminate (with an image of a Dalek)
- The Force is Strong with This One
- Star Wars logo
- All Your Base are Belong to Us
- Sharks (from my uncle, who was in a production of West Side Story)
- Dumbledore's Army
- Muggle
- I'll Tell You When You're Eighteen (to understand this, read my "Post-Birthday" entry)
And now four more shall be added to my arsenal. I can freely wear a different obscure t-shirt for every day of the week. Muahahahaha.
Well, despite this being (I think) my longest post yet, it hardly makes up for a week of absence. Though it's not like it matters; no one reads this thing. I'm like a twelve-year-old posting his first highly unoriginal Let's Play in some forgotten corner of YouTube...
