Last Saturday was a Region Dance. Kimber just turned 14, and so this was her first dance. I got her a nice necklace for her birthday and gave it to her at the dance, and she really liked it. (She also liked how it tinkled when she jumped and moved. She's so funny.) Maya was also there with Jeremiah, and Rachel O. was there with Allie because they had spent the day together reviewing APHG stuff. (If you're uninformed, APHG = Advanced Placement Human Geography. Or AP Human Geography. Or APHG. Whatever floats your boat.)

Monday was my mom's birthday. I got her a canvas thing that said "When I count my blessings, I count you Twice." After school we went to see "How to Train your Dragon." I really liked it. It was cool. I'm thinking I can do some research on how much of the movie was based on research, and how much was just popular and fabricated ideas. But there's actually not much known about the vikings and stuff, as most of their mythological records were destroyed, so who knows.

Tuesday we had a field trip to the Zoo. It was pretty fun. For an assignment, we were observing the Gorilla, and this zookeeper comes out and says "I'm about to feed the animals. Anyone want to help me?" Naturally, our group jumps on that. She gave Cory a big burlap sack and says "Just chuck that in there over by the gorilla, sorta up the hill." So he does, the gorilla hears it plunk and grabs it. Then he drags it up to the top of the hill and dumps out a ton of vegetables, like lettuce and broccoli heads. She gave the same thing to Riley to throw to the Orangutan. She also gave them a bottle full of frozen water with carrots suspended in there. (I think they were carrots... They were orange, at least.) She told us that the gorilla would wait until it melted, drink the water and eat the carrots. The orangutan, on the other hand, would rip the bottle open and then break the ice, picking out the carrots and sucking on ice chunks. So I had fun going to the Zoo with all of my friends. :D

Tuesday night was the Honor Choir Concert. On the way over there, I get a call from Jason (Who had left in the middle of the school day) And he frantically says "Jarom! I totally forgot about the Concert! Can you give me a ride??"

How do you forget about a concert you're in?

So we went and got him, and of course ended up in traffic on the way there, arriving 15 minutes late. (West Jordan Construction Traffic... Geez.) But everything went really well.

Wednesday night we had mutual, but I had planned to leave early to get some stuff done. After all, we were just playing basketball. But I convinced myself to stay for one game, and promptly slammed into Carl as he was turning around and landed badly on my elbow, hip, and knee. So I limped home, and I still have a little bit of a limp (Not too much) and it hurts to put my elbow on the counter.

Good Going, Jarom.
Hey, you be quiet. I thought I'd get some exercise, you know. It wasn't like I was playing basketball when I should have been doing homework becasue I wanted to, I decided I should stay with my quorum for some exercise because I've been skipping out on them lately because of how much homework I have.

So yeah. That's my happenings of late.

It's Friday the Thirteenth, and Evil is in the air!

(Except the air inside the seminary building... I found that interesting. *Laugh* I muttered something about doing some rituals to ward away spirits, and the look of horror on Paige's face was priceless...)

Has evil touched you yet? I should hope not. Where the heck is mine coming from??

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I feel like Dr. Jackel and Mr. Hyde right now, seriously. I feel evil. Which is wierd for me. But it's starting to get more common... Evil Fiends! Begone!

You know what I just really wanted to do today? Wear my cape. I said "To Sheol if I look like a fool. I'm going to put it on and then take pictures of me with it on!" Of course, saying to Sheol if I look like an fool didn't change that I look very foolish. Especially considering I'm wearing jeans under said cape.

(That's supposed to be an animated gif I created. Does anyone see it that way?)

I am grateful for Mythology. For those of you who don't know, I am a big mythologist. I specialize in Greek Mythology and Dragonology, but I like almost all forms of mythology. And yes, Friday the Thirteenth is part of a branch of mythology (I'm not entirely sure the name of the branch. Some mythologists call it "Popular Mythology" some call it "Western Mythology" and some call it "American Mythology", none of which I think are completly suiting names.)

Yep, the evil spirits are out again. I've been feeling evil lately... which is wierd.... for me...

Anyways, first of all is Spanish Halloween. NO ONE SENT ME ANY PICTURES! Until the last night, that is, when I'm scrambling and begging people for them on Chat. I guess I should thank Rachel and Jeremiah for giving me them then. :) Thanks, guys! (P.S. I got a B on that project.)

Anyways... Today was the day we wore our costumes to school. Yay!

There's me. God of Festivals.

Sara - Zombie Princess

Matt - This isn't a costume. He's actually a ninja with a black belt. No, this isn't a joke. I'm dead serious.

This was one of the most popular costumes in the school. I mean, look at it. Waldo? That's just freaking genius. Cool costume, Josh!

Bekah as the Cat in the Hat.

SOO.... I wrote a halloween story for English, and I'll post it on my Gallery when I get it back and type it up.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY! Don't let the spirits of the dead add you to their ranks...
