Unshelled Update

I know I haven’t posted in a very long while, so I apologize to all one and a half of my readers. I know that you guys, and parts of guys, have been demanding an update for sometime now. There hasn’t been much interesting going on, but I will fill you in on the semi-interesting bits of Stu life.

The two weeks have just been a flood of homework, tests, and projects after projects. All of my classes have taken drastic turns for the worse. Religion class is an absolute pain to go to now that I’m staying up later to finish homework, thus making me more tired for homeroom the next day. All of my notes are everywhere for religion and I have no idea how I am going to study for that exam. My homework load keeps filling itself back up, even when I attack it relentlessly for several hours on end. I will completely diminish the pile, projects and all, and the next day it will be back up to full strength. However I only have a few more weeks of this and now that this grand homework load has begun I know that the semester is in its final throws before exams and summer holidays begin. I’ve just got to keep it all up in the air, whilst attempting to enjoy my down time.

Math class has kept me entertained through the school year. Mr. O is an awesome teacher, despite what other people may think. He actually teaches the math, doesn’t take crap, and he’s hilarious! I’ve also been enjoying my Math class because of the cute girl who sits behind me. E, her name is. I’ve known E since my fist day of high school, and we sat beside each other in that homeroom science class. She always laughs at my jokes, and she’s fun to talk with. She was telling me about her experience with playing Silent Hill “the other night” and while on the subject I brought up Resident Evil. She was interested in a videogame! A Girl! Unfortunately she currently has a boyfriend, but I shall be biding my time. Waiting for it to not work out, hopefully, and perhaps I will be able to work up the man-bits to ask her out. At least I have developed a foundation to asking her out, and it won’t seem as though some stranger has asked her out from nowhere.

Sunday June 3rd, Part II: Wherein Logic Resides.

As Binkle/Jordan has pointed out in the first/Second comment, it would probably be a better, and more successful, idea to just be friends with her. Why would I want to put up with the troubles of having a girlfriend when I can just have the same amount of fun being a regular friend? Finding a female who enjoys a good videogame is like finding a diamond in the fucking dump. No need to mess it up and no need to make her feel like some sort of object along the way. So, kudos Binkle/Jordan! You’re thinking may have saved me form making a very silly decision.

The E situation shall be updated when new events and problems begin to arise.

I have been working for quite some time now, saving money up for my questionable post secondary schooling. However, I do have some other money saved up along side of it, that I am able to spend on…well, whatever! Through my experience with Communications Technology class, I’ve felt that movies were not only fun to work with, write, edit and direct but they were also very fun to make. I was thinking to dipping into some of my money and getting a relatively cheap Camcorder. Our family doesn’t have one right now, and I want to try to make some homemade short films. We worked with a program that’s only purpose was to add in lightsaber effects onto your film! I could film Andrew and I fighting with cardboard tubes, as we usually do, and add in all the cool sounds and visuals of a lightsaber duel! Perhaps even add in some of the Kill Bill sound track just for kicks. But maybe it is all just a daydream, for I don’t know when I would do this, or even how long my interest in films will last. At any rate, I could just use the film setting on a digital camera for now, and see how I enjoy writing, filming and editing before I make any sort of large investment into a camcorder.

Plus I still need to keep some money around for when a Wii is finally worth getting!

This will probably do for now. I’ll have probably have more updates closer to exams as I procrastinate from studying.

You know, you could also do something crazy - have a friendship WITH a girl... :P

Invite her over sometime for some high quality gaming.

At least that way you'd maintain contact over the summer...

/me awaiting part two :)

JGrant said...

I concur Binkle's proposed legislation, however I'd like to tack on a bill that says don't be like many stary-eyed young pups and drive them apart by belittling him. That's just bad news bears.

I am also awaiting part two.

And if Binkle and I read this, which of us is only half of a man? I know Binkle is probably half my size (in the dimension denoted by w), but I don't think I'm the average. :P

Stu said...

Well, I would round up. So I guess instead of 1.5 readers it's probably about 2.0

But really, I have about Pi readers.

Unknown said...

Well, what I was thinking was, you can't bide your time and wait to ask her out... because the summer's coming up and you're not going to be at St. Mikes forever (you're a year behind Heather, aren't you? So you're graduating next year?).

So, why not become friends with her, you can enjoy her company, and there won't be that pressure there - which if you're anything like me means that you'll be calmer and more pleasant to be around.

Plus, she might have some nice single friends :P

Speaking of gaming, we should get together and do something geekish at some point in the next while... probably after Andrew and Jordan's midterms?

JGrant said...

Um...I'm pretty sure he's in Grade 10. He's got two years left. He is a year ahead of my sisters, and they are in Grade 9.

So, he has Grade 11 and Grade 12 left, assuming he doesn't stay a year, or take a year off.

Stu, I was thinking that you could be friends with her, but try not to focus so much on your feelings. If you like someone, it is incredibly difficult just to stop liking them (especially if they are a friend). So, what I was saying is that you should not get so close to her that you would want to date her, which leads to you speak ill of her current boyfriend.

If she is ever single though, I don't see why you wouldn't want to move in. If worse comes to worse, as Binkle pointed out you will graduate and part ways eventually.

Usually high school relationships never last, so go after people you like while you can.

That may seem to be slightly contradictory advice, but there is a good moral in there somewhere.

Unknown said...

I disagree Jordan - I think that one cannot have too many friends.

If he wants to date her, that means that he enjoys spending time with her. I wouldn't date anyone that I wouldn't want to be friends with; and if I can't date someone, I'd rather be friends with them then nothing.


As for camcorders, Dave was probably in grade 11 when he got his camcorder and started making things; he and other dave put out two DVDs before they graduated (and now one of the Daves is in Toronto for film... the other is in BC, smoking dope last I heard...). It might not be a bad idea to get a low to midrange camcorder (maybe look for one used at a good price?). One thing to consider - do you have a good computer system to go with the camera? If you can't edit the videos, that's quite a limitation. I know I'd get more mileage out of a computer then out of a video camera, but that's me. You're probably wise to start with a digital camera, and then when that starts to limit you move up to the next level.

I always thought Stu was older...I mean, I can't really remember it being obvious that stu was younger then us - he's never seemed really immature or anything. I always knew he was younger then us, but I figured he was pretty close to our ages.

"If he wants to date her, that means that he enjoys spending time with her. I wouldn't date anyone that I wouldn't want to be friends with; and if I can't date someone, I'd rather be friends with them then nothing."

I agree with him following that policy entirely.

I'm just talking about how Josh tried to sabotage that minor relationship with Blake and Monica Stam. Situations like that. Josh liked her. Became her friend. And then tried to mess things up with her current love interest.

Don't get drawn into a messy situation like that.

I'm not trying to deter Stu from being friends with her. I said the following:

- Be friends
- Don't express the emotions for the sake of your friendship (so that the two of you don't ever get drunk at a party and try to make out or something)
- Should things go downhill for her current relationship, and you are still interested, might as well take a chance.

That was all I was saying. So, Binkle, I don't think you really disagree with me.

And also, Stu, if movies is something you're interested in, then you should probably spring for a decent camcorder. However, don't make the purchase unless you're sure. Perhaps dabble a little longer in video editing. Try shooting and making a med-length movie with the school's stuff. See if you have the patience to keep up the hobby.

You don't want to experience buyer's remorse by purchasing a good camera and upgrading your PC, only to discover that video editing makes you tired or something.

And Binkle, I know what you mean about Stu's age. He has always seemed like he was maybe a year younger than us. He's very mature for his age. He's a good kid. Keeps his nose outta trouble.
