| Man, I'm so lazy I can't even keep up a journal. Sorry guys. It's been a rough couple weeks. Rachel's show, which I mentioned last time, went pretty well in spite of the whole amp system going out on her. So, lo adn behold, it was an acoustic show. But the crowd liked it, and Rachel has a standing invitation to come back anytime she wants, so it's cool.
Then we come back to school and Mr. Simmons is back, and he's, like, and here's where things get crazy again, he's been turned into a huge ape. No kidding. He barges into the schoo, takes out Principal Williamson's "security" force, and goes after Roger. It was craziness. He manages to grab Roger and start running out of the school when Tharsis shows up and stops him. luckily, Tharsis managed to bait him out a good ways from the school, so there was less damage this time. But it was long fight. I think Tharsis didn't expect Simian Simmons (that's what Angela and I decided to call him) to be that strong. So eventually Simian Simmons gets knocked out and taken to a hospital, where apparently the transformation slowly reversed itself. So Simmons came back to school this week, actually, A-OK.
But that wasn't all. Nope. Principal Williamsong oes double nutso, totally ups the school security again, this time with macho security guards with serious weaponary, everyone's scared to death, and guess what happens? A week later, there's this huge accident in the science lab, and Mrs. Frix comes out all crazy and with this weird teleknetic ability or somtehing. Anyway, she's suddenly bent on capturing Rachel, and as awesome as Rachel is, she can't do much against a teleknetic, and then Tharsis comes to save the day again, but the whole thing is crazy because he can't get near Mrs. Frix, but Mrs. Frix isn't strong enough to kill him, either, so they basically destroy the science lab until Rachel distracts Mrs. Frix long enough for Tharsis to knock her out cold. So Mrs. Frix is in the hospital, and the doctors say she's getting better except for the fact that the equipment around her occasionally starts floating. Angela and I still aren't sure what to call her. How does Mrs. Frixion sound to you guys?
Anyway, so now they've brought in the National Guard and they're talking about closing down the school and Principal Williamson is on the verge of a nervous breakdown and nobody knows what to do. What a stupid mess. Angela's pulling her hair out because she can't find any leads. All I know is that somebody's trying to take my friends and the only thing standing in their way is a little boy in a blue suit, who seems to know when we're in danger. Why did this have to happen to us? | | |
| Done with my computer class assignments again. Apparently my sister's been reading my Xanga, and she's isisting that I use capital letters. I made a deal with her that if I start using capitals, she's got to start her own Xanga, so we'll see what happens.
Oh, sepaking of Rachel, she's got a gig playing guitar and singing at Promised Grounds, a local coffee shop Saturday at 7:00, so that's cool. Feel free to stop by if you're in the Centerfield area.
Oh, crap, that's the bell. Okay, well, I've gotta go. Mr. Simmons has been sick all week; we're really starting to get worried about him. I guess he's not as tough as we thought. | | |
| the school finally got the computer labs up and running again today. they got seriously decimated in the attack by the sterling spider, so my computer systems teacher has had to teach us computer material without computers. its been really funny watching her try to pull lesson plans out of thin air. but we've got the computers now, and ive finished today's work, so i thought itd be a great time to update this old thing.
principal williamson has upped security since the attack so much its like living in a prison. there are guards everywhere, 911 special phones, random interrogations, all sorts of nonsense. like any of those guys could have stopped mr sterling.
but fortunately we haven't had anymore attaciks since the sterling spider, so im starting to hope that was just a really random thing. but the thing is, nobdoy knows what happened to mr. sterling that caused him to get like that. it was obviously some sort of big plan, but its all a mystery to us. its driving my friend Angela crazy, not knowing; she spends so much time online trying to snoop out information its crazy.
but we do know a little more about the kid. his name's tharsis, and i swear he's like, eight. or something. he's really young. and i really want to tell all you guys a lot more than that, but i can't because i guess anybody could read this. man. i hate keeping secrets.
okay, ive gotta go. the bell just rang for us history. i hear mr simmons is sick today, so it'll probably be pretty boring. oh well. sadness n' stuff. | | |
| whoa.
just... whoa.
you guys aren't going to belive what happened the other day. heck, i'm not even sure i believe it. but, like, it was last friday, the last day of school. so my friends sarah, roger, and angela are walking into their calculus class, expecting an exam... and... well, i dunno, the room was really weird. i saw it afterwareds. there were lots of wires hanging everywhere and, i swear, fiber-optic webs. there were computer terminals and pods and eggs and all sort sof creazy stuff. and all the kdis are really freaked out at this point, and then, iswear im not making this up, mr. sterling, the calculus teacher, descends from the ceiling on a fiber optic wire,e xcept, like, its just his head, attached to some sort of weird giant mechanical spider body. i know its crazy. i now its stupid. but i swear i saw it, and im sure its all over national news at this point. so this mechanical spider version of mr.sterling scares all the kids out of the room, they start running around to tell the other teachers, and he corners sarah, looking like he's about to inject her with some sort of poison and wrap her in his fiberoptic webs... and... okay... now it gets even stupider. or cooler. or both.
roger and angela are both arguing about what to do to help sarah. and something comes breakingthrough the classroom window and clobbers the sterling spider. heh. sterling spider. i like that. anyway, sarah was telling me about it later, the thing that clobbered the sterling spider was a little kid. kind of. like, it was a little kid dressed in a weird super-hero kind outfit (except with sweatpants instead of tights), and he was just, like, flying around. nokidding. he throws around mr.sterling and sarah, angela and roger all get away, and the sterling spider gets out through the window, and he starts growing to this massive size... no joke. and there's this all out battle in the school courtyard between this little kid and a giant spiderfied calculus teacher. it was like the most absurd thing ever. everyone in the school has run out of the building at this point. some are running, some are watching the fight, some, like my crazy sister, are trying to distract the sterling spider to give the kid a chance. So this battle destroys like, half the freshman wing and eventually the kid breaks one of the wires attahced to mr. sterlings head and the spider body shrinks and mr.sterling goes unconcious. last i heard mr sterling's in the hospital, and they've started disconnecting the armor (it's some sort of mech thing) and he's awake and doesn't remember how he got that waty. and the kid just like flew off into the distance, and we haven't seen him since. so nobody knows what's going on or why it happend.
yeah, i know you're going whatever, but i swera it happened. nobdoy's ever seena nything like it, half the city's going crazy, everyone's afaid. but i think, i dunno, that kid was pretty tough. i don't know where he came from either, but, hey, um, i think he's a good guy. if that sort of stuff even applies in real life. man. i hope this doesn't become a common occurrence. | | |
| huh. i completely forgot about this thing. that's me, i guess. can't even keep up a journal. its okay though. ill just try and pick up fom here.
last time i mentioned something about how awful school's gotten... well, its because we have a new principal. but he's not just any principal, no, not the kind that stays out of your life unless your one of those permanently in trouble kids. no, this is principal robert williamson, who calls umpteen gazillion class assemblies, sits in on classes, controls teh school publications (my friend angela's on the staff, so i hear plenty about that.), and is, in general, really, really creepy. my sister rachel says he sits in on nearly half of her classes. its crazy. he's really controlling of the honors classes, too, so i think that's why my friends see so much of him. he's actually not that concerned with disciplining some of the dumb kids, either, so there's a lot of crappy stuff that goes on around here because he won't pay attention. i swear we've gotten six stink bombs in the cafeteria in the past month. its really stupid, for a man to be so controlling and care so little about stuff like that.
still, there are some awesome teachers at the school, and they're not going anywhere, so that slmost makes up for it. and the first term end next week, anywya. so i'm psyched. christmas break come quickly. | | |
