2001: A Boring Odyssey and second!

It's kind of late, but I finally finished 2001: A Space Odyssey. The book was interesting, though strange towards the end, but all in all I think I liked it. because I finished it I watched the movie. It had to be the most boring, drawn out, doesn't really follow the book movie I have ever seen in my entire life. The only points that stand out were one: Also Sprach Zarathustra and two: the space effects. I was falling asleep for most of it. They could have used all that empty space to put in details from the book that would make it make sense, but noooo. Lamers.
The afternoon 2nd years (I'm still one of them no matter what my schedule says!) All went to a Business Professionals Of America event thing (The AM's couldn't go on the account of their lack of A+ certification) We took two tests (except Josh) and managed to take the first 1-5 places (I think) in both (there weren't many besides the seven of us taking them) In the networking one I got fifth place (not surprised) and in the PC tech one I got Second! I managed to beat Chris! Woo! He and Curt got both their A+ and Net+ last year. Too bad I don't have anyone to brag to. While we were all sitting around waiting for the tests and the awards every one brought their laptop and were playing games (Of course), 'cept for Curt. We played cards for a while and he did his evil card trick that still baffles me. It was pretty fun getting to see them all again. Half the reason I wanted to get the Best Buy internship was because I'd be switched to the afternoon class again. Ah well, at least this way I can keep photography and programming. Typing of which, the Java class at OCC I was supposedly signed up for filled up, so I don't get to do that unless someone drops the class (please, someone, drop!) I didn't find out until today of course, the day it was to start. Grr. >.< I hate the lack of information.
When I first started to read them I had read practically every Sweeney Todd fic on fanfiction.net (That was back when there weren't even two pages), but I've slowed down and they sped up so I'm falling behind (Now theres six.) Maybe I'll print a bunch off and read them on the bus or something. Or not, that'd waste a lot of paper considering how few are any good.
I had a resolution to get a reasonable amount of sleep (That I totally butchered last night) so I'm off to bed now.

I finaly got around to posting something again and of course I no longer have any thing to say, not surprising considering I had to wait forever for my mom to get off the comp.  It just so happens that the moment she got off that she saw lightning. -.- just great...
    I'm using something called "Performancing" for firefox to post this.  It's kinda neat.  It automatically saves what you've typed when you make it go away so you can type a little then come back latter, type more, and post it when it doesn't seem like a patheticly short post anymore. 
    I haven't updated my website in quite a while so I guess maybe soon I'll dredge something up for it.
    I've been reading too many fanfics again, as usual.  Yesterday I finished re-reading HP & the prisoner of azkaban.  I don't know WHY but I've been drawn back into HP.  reading fics and beggining the fifth book again today and everything. 
    I've disappeared to my entire buddy list (all three of them.) because my dad was annoyed by the little update thing so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it in just my account but it didn't want to work properly so I decided to wait til the next day.  Next time I try I discover that I've got a limited account and no privliges. 
And there was much rejoicing. grrrrr...
My mom and I went to Alpena to see fireworks. They were really good.  Discovered a big antique shop that had lots of cool things, I got a little vase and a plate (it has a pretty autumn scene painted on it) both made in Japan. 
Also three coins $0.50 each.  One is german and has 1900 on it so I'm assuming that it's from 106 years ago so it seems like it was a good buy.  The other two are asian, one looks to be a 50 Y japanese coin, it has a 49 on it too.  1949? showa period 49? no idea.  the last one is really tiny and doesn't have any numbers I can read but it does look like it's got the kanji for 1 on it. (it's the easiest kanji in the world: it looks like this>  -   )
    I guess I should hurry up and post now, there's a lot of lightning
