I finally got a job! I've been looking since the beginning of the summer. It's at Cragun's, as a dishwasher. Okay, so it's only a trial employment, but still. I have to trim my beard for this job, so I'd better keep it! Oh, well--at least I don't have to shave it off completely, and I've already gotten rid of my red spiked hair.
And afterwards, I saw a sign there saying "no through traffic." I was so excited to see decent, competent spelling that I almost went through it, not realising what it actually meant. Whoever decided it was alright to use "thru" should be shot. In my opinion, it's like having a sign that says "STOPZORZ LOL ;)!!1!~~" One of my dreams in life is to make a fast food place with a drive through.
At any rate, it'll be nice to have some cash flowing in, assuming I can stop myself from spending it on Transformers.

Let's get the Flock out of here.
I'm going to try and bring all of these web logs back. You see, I've lately been daunted by the idea of keeping all of my sites updated. On top of that, I haven't had the Internet at my house, and Netscape just kicked me off of itself, because it's apparently going to be discontinued.
But those seem to have righted each other. You see, Netscape pushed me on to some bizarre third-party thing called "Flock." I was less than thrilled at first, because it called itself "the social web browser," so I was worried that it would do something stupid, like allow others to use my account or something (I'm still a little worried). But, it has its own built-in blog poster, which I'm trying now. If this works, I'll be able to post to Xanga, Blogger, LiveJournal, and two new ones: Blogsome and WordPress (maybe I should stop getting random accounts) at once. That leaves only Yahoo 360°, MySpace, Gather, and Gaia Online to copy and paste to (that is, after transferring my back entries, which I may not do with these new ones.
Also, I got an account at a site called "Schola," so you don't have to worry about any more Latin entries. Spanish, I don't know about. I need a way to keep these separate, but don't know what it should be.

Translations
Alright, I've procrastinated long enough: here is the translation of my previous two entries:
Saturday, 13 October, 2007: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore Generally, I write my blogs like I obtained them: I start in Xanga, and then copy and paste it into Yahoo 360º, MySpace, Gather, Blog City, Blogger, and finally Gaia Online, but now I'm starting with Gather because I'm in school, and the others are blocked.
I'm in school because yesterday I worked until midnight on my homework for history class. I had to write an essay about the first kings of Buddhism, Christianity, and IslÄ?m. I had a month in which to do it, but only started it last night, after book club.
Sorry I can't say more. Tomorrow? I don't usually write in Spanish when it isn't necessary, but... Monday, 15 October, 2007
More?
Well, it isn't tomorrow, but I wasn't sure of what I was going to write for you. And this raises a good question: do I have Spanish-speaking readers, and do they want to read more from me? I have comments on these entries, but do they come back to read more? If you want, I can write more, but I don't think that I could--or would want to--translate it all. I already am not going to translate it into Latin any more.

All your blog are belong to us.
Here's an odd thing: Xanga has finally added full Unicode support! But, it depends upon your language settings. So, for us multi-language bloggers, it's back to square one.
In other news, apparently, Gather automatically creates an RSS feed for its users. So, if anyone actually wants to get up-to-the-minute updates on my blogging, or publish my blog on, say, their Yahoo 360° page--hey, it does stand for Real Simple Syndication, after all--you now have the tools to do so.
Now, as for the first week of school: my actual finalised schedule is:
1) Physics (Gilbertson, A226)
2)AP Stats (Pelkey, A204)
3)AP Spanish (Qualley, South Campus)
4)Open
5)World History (CLC) Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (open other days)
6)AP Lit (Hewitt, A162)
Or, the same as I already told you. They're fairly interesting.
In other news, we had our this year's first meeting of the Library teen advisory board: The High Council of Younger Elders. And we are sorely in need of members--especially ones that won't graduate in the next year or two. I don't think that we have gotten any new members since its creation two years ago. It meets the first Thursday of every month at the Brainerd Public Library at 4:00PM. We plan activities, such as game days and rocket making. You can join at a meeting, or send a message to any of their pages, or e-mail them at HCYE.brd@gmail.com. Anyone 11-19 is welcome, even if they aren't permanent residents of Brainerd--i.e. foreign exchange students.
Also, I went to a football game with my friend Jamp. And apparently, football is in fact very boring. Neither of us had ever actually been to a football game before, and so at least I thought that it would be most of the team--with a few benched players--running around after discussing their strategy at, say, quartertime. So we were both surprised to see that about an eighth of both teams actually played, and that was about seventy per cent huddling. Home ended up winning, 30 to 7--all of the last score was done in the fourth quarter--which means that there wasn't even the interest of wondering who was going to win, because the other team sucked so much--or maybe our team just has no life and practises 24/7.
So, my AP Spanish teacher said that we should live in Spanish. I already have my cell phone in Spanish, and I'm not going to completely switch my blog language, but perhaps a single entry? I don't want to re-live my Dog Latin--which is roughly the Latin equivalent of Spanglish--entry--perhaps a new Latin one is also an order--but I think that I could pull it off.

Sukorambure Powa!
Well, I got my blog transferred to another site. This one's called "Gaia Online." It's really neat: it's sort of an online community where you can get a house and car and play mini-games like "fishing" while talking with your neighbours. You also get to make your own little chibi avatar for it. I really like how mine turned out. You but clothes for it with a sort of currency called "gold"--which I suppose makes it not currency, but actual money--which you earn for nearly everything. I think I'll improve my house next. Now I just need to set up and transfer my past entries to that Live Journal page I got.
Ivan's been having bladder control issues as of late. He's been pissing on the floor after only an hour inside--sometimes even less. I hope he doesn't have a bladder infection.
In other news, I'm almost done downloading トランスフォーマー Zンーン(Transformers: Zone) (I'm not sure how "Znnn" spells "Zone," or why they used a Latin "Z.". That was the last G1 (original storyline) cartoon, cancelled after the first episode. In it, from what I'm told, they take nine of the coolest Destrons (Decepticons) from the previous series and kill all but one of them in a matter of minutes. But, Dai Atlas looks cool. The sad thing is that I can't find a subtitled version: It's either a shitty fan dub or the original Japanese. This is the Japanese one (hopefully it will make sense without understanding the dialogue).
