Well, I should say hi all. I've been busy today, so....

Actually, I haven't been busy, but I decided that I was going to put a profile on eharmony. Then I saw how much it cost. And while they got my perfect match...well perfect, (seriously, I was about to propose marriage to the computer screen)...they got me very wrong. What's that say about me? Eesh.

So, I ventured into on-line dating for a brief nano-second...and quickly ran away. (oh, funny thing...Mr. PT is on match.com...heh.)

But anyway, I spent most of my internet time today thinking of exciting ways to describe myself. That really sucked. (and the whole eharmony test made me feel like a bad person. I mean, who wants to choose between being stubborn and unyielding or shy and timid. Blech!)

eHarmony huh? Never tried. Probably never will. I just don't see how it could work. Not sayin' that I'm all unique and stuff, but it seems hard enough to connect with folks in the real world who share much of the same views and feelings as myself.

Looking at my last post I realize that my composition is a bit off today. Ment to ramble on over the fact that I really don't understand the workings of the female of the species. Seems to me that many of the females I know are completely comfortable using a guy for love as much as or more than just for sex. Ramble, ramble.

Copilot! We have missed you! Sounds like you are doing well, though. Keep us updated when you can!

Yah, Copilot lives! And is happy to boot!

Ugh.

I don't know what's with me at the moment, but while yesterday I was glowing and happy, right at this moment I'm pissed off and sad and I don't know why.

We did a runthrough of the show with our piano girl, (doing just the piano part)... it was like a massacre, made me feel like all our practicing and stuff was for nothing.

The theater teacher (who thankfully isnt directing this show) and my director both said I need more energy. I really am having trouble doing 'laid back and serene' while being energetic. May have to try a new definition of laid back, maybe from 'dont mind' to 'dont let anything bother me'. Dunno. But I hate realizing how bad I am at acting... especially when our lead guy gets complemented over and over for scenes I keep feeling like he was feigning it. Damn the self-righteous, jealous actor in me.

Also, mi madre mentioned a couple of heretical things in terms of the future: taking an SAT class instead of going to strike (but... it's strike!!!), and not doing the next show cause of all this college crap.

Plus I have some homework to do.

Ok, fine, I do know why, but it still seems weird. Darn life.

Sorry for being all negative... again. But this is what I want to write.

Copilot! So happy to see you! And see you happy!

I took eHarmony's test, thought I'd try it for that seven days they offer. Yeah, they kicked me out of the system. Said they didn't feel they could "match" one such as me. Apparently about a fourth of people going there are deemed "unmatchable" and booted. Nice, isn't it? A lot of what they said was accurate, though, in terms of my personality. The theory is that, if they don't think your driving motivation is marriage, they want nothing to do with you.
Shouldn't they be spreading religiosity to the fuzzy-wuzzies or somesuch?
Really, the only questions they had that I might have answered in an "anti-marriage" way were basically "are you Christian" type questions. Blah. Oh well.
Yep, still lookin'. I'm sure I'll find someone someday, just tired of waiting.

*pat pat* There, there, Whitefall. We all have those days. I'd blame your teenagerhood and weird hormonal shifts, but I still have those days. I hope for an upswing in your mood soon!
Don't know if this will matter to your mom, but I never took a prep class, and I did just fine on my SAT and ACT tests. And I was only 16 at the time! The only thing I wished I'd had more practice on was the math; most everything else was a breeze. Even the science. But especially the English and such. Of course, I'm kind of in love with the language, so I may be an anomaly; I was done before anyone else and got a near-perfect score.
Anyway, you're a smart guy. You'll be fine.

I know what's with you -- you're a perfectly normal teenager!

Honestly, the age you're at right now is undoubtably among the worst for mood swings. Not only are your hormones all over the place, but you're also mentally and emotionally trying to become an adult, while at the same time not being allowed to make your own decisions. You're being forced to decide scary things -- like where you're going to go to college -- but not allowed to make your own decisions about things like whether or not you take the SAT prep class.

It can be a really frustrating and disheartening time, and from what I've seen, you handle it with more grace than most, so don't be too hard on yourself.
