2nd Day of VEDA

Ok. This is even a surprise to me, but I actually left my house today and have more to do in a blog than ramble or talk about a tv show I've been watching like I would probably do if I had sat on my ass all day. Are you allowed to say ass on blogger/blogspot? While I'm asking questions, why does it have two names, blogger and blogspot? I made this account like 2 years 9 months 3 weeks ago, and when I made it I could have sworn it was just either blogger or blogspot. And most of all I just wanna know how everybody else makes their blogs look so cool or say what youtube video was watched last or whatever at the end of each post, is that just fancy schmancy HTML they type in there? That's all I have as far as questions, they're not hypothetical, feel free to answer them in the comment place on this blog!

So anyhow, back to the day where I actually kinda did stuff. I was in a call with this girl named Destiny who's really cool and we were playing pool. She loves questions, so go to http://www.formspring.me/heydestinyy and ask her stuff. She ended up going to sleep, leaving me with nothing to do. With nothing to do, I found my way into a call with Katie, Valerie, and Blaze.

Katie was talking to her dog who has an awesome vlog by the way, and you should watch it! Katie's blog is really good too! Blaze was beating me at HKB and not caring about whether I lived or died in the game. I am not sure if she is actually doing veda, but her youtube.com account is suchducks.com and she has awesome videos there anyhow so go and watch. I'm not sure what Valerie was busy doing while being in the call, but she has a kickass blog where she talks about Cedar Point a lot because she's from Ohio and that's all they have besides Glee and the Institution, which teaches me how to do thingys with computers, called Youngstown State University. Eventually the discussion we were having turned to geocaching and Katie, Blaze and I resolved to go geocaching in our respective towns. Mine and Blaze's town is actually the same town, so we went together.

I have been completely out of my mind since before I left to geocache. But Blaze told me to meet her at the beginning of Miller, so I went and stood on Miller Ave. wondering where she was, and texted her asking where she was. She was at Miller Rd. and I felt stupid. Whoever heard of two road names like that within a quarter mile of each other? Anyhow we walked to wal-mart, pretty much uneventfully, me and my mountain dew shirt/mountain dew can, her and her green day shirt/mountain dew can. We arrived at wal-mart, prepared to tear a part the parking lot looking for that cache, while the muggles looked on. She suggested we split up and then it was like a miracle, she called my name, "Zack! I found it." I ran over to admire the ingenuity of the original hider. But no, our victory seemed like it wouldn't last. The trinkets I had brought were too big to fit in the container and we didn't have a pen to sign the log book. Without that, our names could never live on forever as being 2 of the few hundred people to find this cache. Immortality in the form of a logbook did not seem to be ours.

We snapped out of our stupor and realized we were in a parking lot surrounded by stores that sell little trinkets and pens. We managed to get a little army man and blaze got a pencil that really looked like a pen, so we put the stuffs in the cache went and eventually decided we'd walk the miles to the library. It was the hottest part of the day and walking through the Sun for an hour gave me a horrible sunburn that is now making me feel really warm and uncomfortable. :/

We were downtown and we were looking for a place to go, I saw a sign at a cheap clothes store that said "Free Clothes" so we couldn't pass up the wonderful chance for free stuff, so Blaze snuck in the store before me and then my friend's talkative dad was suddenly in front of me telling me about my friend's cross-country road trip. He didn't seem to believe that my friend actually didn't tell me about it and just kept going and then it ended, and he tells me his wife works there. It was really nice because I've always wondered where she works. I guess now it's cool to know that, especially because her and I are facebook friends now.


Then was the best part of the whole trip, the LIBRARY. The center of wisdom in this city that doesn't seem to have much. I began perusing the shelves, I had to actually physically check if Joe Degeorge was right in saying the 200s are Theology in the Dewey Decimal thing. They were. But then I realized I don't really like non-fiction books at all so I went over to the fiction section and discovered a book by Kurt Vonnegut. I reckognized the name so I had to pick it up. 20 or so pages through the book I tell Blaze, and she tells me he also wrote Slaughterhouse Five and I figured that's where i heard of him.

I kept reading the book and then it mentioned Breakfast of Champions. I remembered why I knew his name. John Green had mentioned how cool it was that Breakfast of Champions took characters from Vonnegut's various other books and brought them together in one book. I forget the context, I think maybe John said if he ever were to make an actual sequel, he would go about it like that? I thought that was supercool and I loved this guy's writing style, I got impulsive and decided I'd take out every one of Vonnegut's books the library had on their shelves. I've never been so ambitious with books before. And now I have basically vowed to myself I will finish all 10 of these books by August 23rd. The day I was born in 1991 and also the day I have to start school again this year. So, with the 3 last harry Potter books I need to read, that makes like 12 and a half books I have to read in 20 days. It will be a challenge, but I will do my best and I will keep you all updated via this blog.

Anyhow, this is late because I just saw Inception, I will probably maybe want to dedicate my August 3rd post to that, or Esther, idk, it is her birthday after all.
