need 2 know

i think ive been scared of my journal for a while. dont ask why because i really couldnt answer.. i feel like ive been frozen moving through time if that can possibly make any sense to anyone.

i will tell a story.
a while ago my friends mother (who is a teacher) told me that a lot of her students are AFS fans... im like "wow, thats awesome..." then she proposes something so wacky to me. she asks if i would come in and speak to all of the 8th graders about what i do... to which i replied, "what do I do?". haha. i had to push back the date because of us going to the UK, so when it got scheduled it was only ME. No other speakers, it was going to be me speaking to the entire 8th grade, not to mention they were allowing these kids to skip one of their periods on my behalf. I figured the least i could do was get these kids a free period. I cant imagine i wouldve been if ANYONE came and i had an excuse to not go to History.

It went so well... i dont really get nervous before i go on stage that much anymore, which is a different story, but this stuff....wowzas was i nervous. i definitely dont speak in front of 250 kids by myself on a regular basis. I have to give myself a little pat on the back because i was more entertaining than i thought i could be. I had an amazing time and the kids and teachers were telling me that they really enjoyed it, i was blushing.

Right now we are home and i am learning! To be exact, im in real estate school Mondays-Thursdays. in a weird way i like having the regiment of just having something to do basically. i get up at like 7:15, can you believe it???

i just ate a chocolate bar with Goji berries and pink Himalayan salt. people make weird shit nowadays, but i eat it. thats me. i am also addicted to Wii Tennis. Does anyone have Mario Kart? Everyone is telling me to get it.

Lauren and i have been working on her room a lot. I actually still have primer all over my hands and nails that wont come off, i feel like a bum.
back to studying/guitar playing/NBA watching. comment me , maybe... :)

I can totally imagine you standing up in front of all these kids and being amazingly charming and entertaining.

So... anyone going to post a YouTube snippet of your talk? Everyone has a camera phone now. Someone must have gotten 30 seconds or so. ;-)

I could never get up in front of that many people by myself and talk. I'd be shaking in my boots!!! I'm glad that went well!! You could be the next Henry Rollins and go on speaking tours hahahaha!! I am doing some NBA watching right now? I have to believe you are rooting for the Lakers considering the whole Boston/New York rivalry. Hope you have a blast on Projekt Revolution. Sadly I wont be seeing you guys on this tour =[
