Today was a nice and easy day at school. That is probably mainly because I never went to school today. I had a STAND performance thing today. We went to several feeder schools(Oak Hill, Thompkins, Deleware, Vogel, and some other school I think) and did our thing. It was fun, I talked with Ricky alot of the time. He is basically the only one of us who has ever acutally used a drugs alot, so he knows all about them. That makes him the one who always has to answer the questions people have. We were able to convince the teacher to take us to Hacienda instead of Mcdonalds, which I enjoyed immensely. When I got home, I played Peter in basketball. He won 14-16, but I gave him quite a run for his money. Our entire childhood he was taller than me, giving him an unfair advantage, being both taller and stronger. Now, I am taller so I was able to block him many a time. We both suck really badly at basketball though, so it was sad. For some reason I just thought of when I went to a Paul McCartney concert and he was talking about John Lennon. He said, "When I met John, he was two years older than me, and he remained so for the rest of his life." Paul is a funny guy. I have a new story of stupidity at work. First of all, ironically, our Twilight Zone pinball game was acting weird. What it was doing was that the ball got stuck on top of a point-inducing button, so the people playing got an enormous amount of points for not doing anything, then it decided to just give them points anytime they pushed the start button. I didn't care much to try and help solve the problem, so I'm not sure how that turned out. A girl came up to me asking for 50 cents because she put some into one of our games and didn't get to play. I asked her what game, and she told me the "racing one". I know what she means, we have one of those multi-player offroad racing games where you can compete against the clock, your friend, and the computer at the same time. Anyway, she has decided that she needs her money back because it costs 75 cents to use the game and she only had 50 cents. I find this intriguing, since if my memory serves me correctly, all of our games cost 50 cents. I pry more information out of her, and she explains to me that she put a quarter in the slot on the left, to be player 1. Nothing happened, of course, so she gets up to walk over to ask for a quarter back, since it won't return her quarter. Instead, she decides to sit back down and try putting in another quarter, since it kinda says 50 cents on it. She then proceeds to sit down in the player 2 chair (not the same chair as she was in before) and put in her second quarter. Unknown to her is the fact that not every machine in that arcade runs off the same quarter slot, so putting a quarter in one machine and then another won't let her have two quarters in one of them. I disregard the moronic girl, showing no pity to the fact that she is about 10. Another worker gives her 2 quarters to repay her, I wouldn't be suprised if she did it again with two other machines. Also, I need to add that there is a new girl with the nickname "Goo Face." Don't think I'm sick, there isn't really a link on that. You can click it forever if you want to, it won't take you anywhere. Anyway, the reaoning behind it is that on the night she was trained, she drew a picture of a face on a piece of receipt paper. The drawing was captioned "goo face". Mike asked her what it was, to which she responded in a high, cheerful voice, "Goo-Face". I suppose she deserves the nickname.
