Greg Brinkman Food Rejection
I, food am rejecting you. You do not even come close to someone I would want to share my presence with. Every time I look at you it makes me cringe. You think you know all about the specialties of food, yet in reality you know nothing. If you really think that cooking me is entertaining, think of how it must feel for me. Next time you put me in the oven, I will surely catch on fire just to make you mad, and hopefully burn your house down. Next time you are sad, I will remind you of all the horrible things in your life just to anger you. Food, I hate you.

Can't Sleep
So I am laying here in bed unable to sleep because I am thinking about so much right now. So I'm going to speak my mind, in hopes to fall asleep. I apologize in advance for any typos, as I am typing this on my iPod touch.
1) First off, Narnia is finally over. As much fun as it was, I am still glad for this. Narnia was a great training tool for me for Hello, Dolly!, because I needed to learn the ropes before I could be PSM.
2) I am really starting to get sick of all this complaining about the casting for Dolly. I think it is perfect because it fits the story line very well.
3) The laptop I got the other week, wasn't as they described it so he had to go back. And yes, it was a he. His name was Rico. So now I got a black MacBook, but don't know what to name him. I love Macs, so this is exciting.
4) I can't wait for spring break! I get to go to Colorado for the first time. I think it will be a blast we, are even going to climb a mountain.
5) I decided that next year I am going to take an independent study of Cisco 3, instead of taking Journalism 3.
6) My mom decided that she wasn't going to pay the cable bill anymore because Time Warner raised their prices by $20.00!!! That is absolutely absurd, so I agree with her. I'm not sure of we are going to switch to Dish, or just not have cable all together. As long as I have the Internet I will be fine.
7) I really want this phone called the Nexus One, by Google. It comes out for Verizon later this month, so depending on the reviews it gets i will either get it or not.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Lunn for reccomending me as student of the month. It means a lot, and am truely greatful. So now my fingers see going to fall of and I am starting to feel tired.
Adios!

Writing Reflection
Over the course of my high school career I feel like I have become a better writer overall. My freshman year, the hardest thing for me was trying to come up with something to write about. Now, the hardest thing is for me to put my thoughts down on a piece of paper and have them make sense.
"The good writer seems to be writing about himself, but has his eye always on that thread of the Universe which runs through himself and all things."

Narnia
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe runs this weekend at school and I am extremely excited for it. After a mostly good, sometimes stressful experience of assistant stage manager, things are finally starting to wrap up. Show times are Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7 and Sunday at 2. Everyone should come out and support. Tickets are on sale at www.showtix4u.com and are only $10.00.
On a side note, I did end up getting Production Stage Manager for Hello, Dolly! so in some sense things are just getting started not wrapping up. Our first rehearsal is the day after our Sunday matinee of Narnia. I have already started doing some work for Dolly, and can not wait for it to be in full swing!

Gay-Straight Alliance
Gays and straights rejoice because the Gay-Straight Alliance is back and in full force at Anderson. Meeting every other week, members of G.S.A. get together to talk about current issues and have a great time doing so. G.S.A. was brought back by senior Annie Hobson and is advised by Tim Fuller.
“It is interesting to be around young, committed people working for awareness and understanding on this important issue,” states Fuller.
G.S.A. was brought back to be a support group and a safe-haven, but perhaps Hobson explains it best, “I wanted to bring back the G.S.A. because I have a responsibility to provide a safe and tolerant environment in our school.”
The Gay-Straight Alliance is a student-run organization open to anyone who wants to join. Whether you are democrat or republican, gay or straight, religious or atheist, G.S.A. is a place for you. Members spend time talking about current issues, planning events for the school and community, and sharing stories of previous experiences.
When asked to tell people one thing about G.S.A., Senior Ryan Sowers said “It is very open-minded, and everyone is fully accepted regardless of sexual orientation.”
Members always say how welcome they feel, and are glad the club has been brought back. Students are comfortable there, and share things that would not normally be discussed. Fellow students are the best support group, and that is exactly what G.S.A. provides.
This club teaches and promotes tolerance. Some believe the community has ignored issues such as these for far too long, and now is the time for everyone to finally pay attention. This club hopes to take steps in the right direction, showing the wrong that has been done to the gay community. G.S.A. has also set goals to intertwine with the character education building sessions that all students participate in, during a no- bullying week. This will show that sayings such as “you’re gay,” and “that’s so gay” are not okay, and are offensive to some.
Promoting awareness and tolerance not only at school but in the community is a goal of the group. People are becoming more aware of these issues, and are starting to change their views. Each day, people are more and more accepting of all life styles, and hopefully this outreach will help gain support.
Asked why he thinks people are so negative toward the gay community, senior Daniel Lees had a lot to say. “I think people are not open to the gay community because they do not understand that homosexuals are equal to heterosexuals. People are not open-minded to differences in others. I think everyone needs to be open and accepting to the gay community because they are exactly the same as every other person even though their sexual orientation is different. All people are the same and deserve to be treated equally and respectfully.”
Everyone is welcome, and should come to the next meeting for G.S.A. It is a great experience and new members will have a good time. Participants believe that one day, gays will be treated equally, and until then clubs like these will be the place to go. If people are unsure of what to think about this club, they are asked to come and give it a try. The club honors all sexual orientation including gay and straight students.

Snow, Snow, Snow!!!
So the past week or so we have been getting so much snow, and it has been great! Friday night into Saturday we got almost 8 inches, and now the past two days we have got about 8 more. It has also led to two snow days which have been very productive for me. Yesterday, I had a bunch of friends over and we built a snowman named Ricky, and went sleading. We started out sledding behind the Little Red School House but got kicked out because it was "nap time", so we went to the hill next door instead. I love my friends, and we have the best of times.
Also, it is audition week for Hello, Dolly! I am hoping to get PSM (production stage manager for this show), I think it would be really fun. I am currently ASM (assistant stage manager) for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but want to be even more involved.
I bought a laptop, and it comes tomorrow! That is very exciting! I really love technology and everything about it. It was a hard decision on what laptop to get because I'm going to college in a year and a half, and am going to need to get a new one anyway. So I decided to get a Dell Latitude D420 which is a few years old, and will last me through high school. I went used because it will save me a lot of money too. It retailed for $2000 and i got it for a fraction of the price. It's an ultra-portable which means its super light and only an inch thin so I will be able to take it with me anywhere. Now I have the desktop that I built, and an ultra-portable to complement it. The best of both worlds!
Until next time...
-Tim
