Today, at 10:30, I left school and went to Clinton for a baseball game. At the game, I ate nachos and a mini funnel cake. When we wre about to leave, I went into the souvenir shop. Sadly, I didn't have enough money for a souvenir. When I was standing at the gate with my group, our chaperone heard a foul ball come out of the park and told the group. I, along with two sixth grade girls, went running to find the ball. A guy stting on a bench outside the gate said it had gone behind some bushes across the street. The sixth graders and I went for the bushes, and I found the ball first and grabbed it. I had a souvenir, for free!
That's all I wanted to say, really.
Bye!

Sorries and Sharpies
I am very sorry that I have not posted as I promised. I've been busy, and the computer's always been taken(except for right now of course!), so I have been unable to post.
I have a big black purse that's not even full of Sharpies. And it's holding 79 of them! I have even more, but the two I have that aren't in the bag are pretty much dead, and the rest of them that work are at school. Urgh, I want to have all my Sharpies in one place! Except the dead ones, of course. Those go in the trash 'cause they don't work.
Anyway.
I have been inspired by an awesome blog called 1000 Awesome Things.
My favorite one (so far) is #576. Appreciating the beauty of all your body’s scars and scratches. You should read it. Really, you should.
Considering the above, I feel like chattering about my various scars. Actually, I only have two of them. One on my wrist, that I have no idea how I got, and one on my ankle that I got last October from a tuba case I was carrying(with help, of course!) into the school where IMEA auditions were taking place. I didn't even get into IMEA, and I got a scar from it! Really!
So, I really want to go outside/think of a use for my Sharpies.
Bye,
RJ

Introducing...
...the Spring Break series!
I(along with Fred, my psychotic hobo(yes he's mine)) am proud to present...
...the Spring Break series!
Featuring details of my daily quests, Fred's ramblings, and maybe some comments from our affiliates, the Brownies!!
And yes, I used the word affiliates. No, I don't know what it means. :)
Now for a word from our sponsor! Wait, we don't have a sponsor. We need a sponsor! Someone to add to our staff! I shall search for a sponsor!
Found a sponsor! Sara the Triceratops! Whom my brother Danny wants to kidnap!
Now for a word from our sponsor!
Sara- Hello, I am Sara the Triceratops. You all should read ITTBM this next week to follow the Spring Break series. I have nothing else to say. Back to you, RJ.
--
Don't you love sponsors? Oh, and I see our affiliates, the Brownies, sitting nearby! Let's talk to them!
Brownie red- Hello, and welcome to ITTBM. I hope you like our Spring Break series. This post is getting awfully repetitive-
Brownie blue- Sara just got kidnapped by Danny!
Brownie red- Thanks for the info.
Brownie blue- No prob, bro!
Red- How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me bro!
I think that's enough from the Brownies("red" and "blue" refer to the color of the hair ties they wear, so as to tell them apart. Without the difference in color, they're identical!)
So, tune in tomorrow to read the next post of...
...the Spring Break series!
And Red was right, this post is awfully repetitive.
Bye!

Crickets in a Bucket! Edits! And Why Mylar Balloons Suck Fish.
Title(part 1): There is a bucket of crickets in my basement. Yep, a bucket of crickets!
Title(part 2): Today, I saw a presentation on electrical safety. Part of it was on the dangers of Mylar balloons. They're balloons made of aluminum foil. Or aluminium foil, if you're British! So, anyway, Mylar balloons can cause transformers to short out. Not Transformers, like Optimus Prime, but transformers like the ones that reduce the wattage of your electricity. So, in conclusion, Mylar balloons suck fish!!
On to other things now!
In two days, the Hunger Games movie is coming out.
Today is the first day of spring.
I am adding a Facebook "like" button to the blog. Or attempting to, anyway!
It's not quite working, the "like" button... More editing!
According to the new gadget, ITTBM has been viewed 1,634 times overall! More editing!
Deleted a few things... More editing!
Pretty much done editing for now.
Had to go put a pot of water on to boil for supper.
Anyway- ooh! Idea!
--This Week in Life--
Tomorrow- not sure.
Thursday- Contest Concert. I have to be there at 6:30. Concert (probably) starts at seven.
Friday- Not sure, really, but it's Friday! Friday! Gotta- not think of that song.
Saturday- Contest. I have a solo at like eleven-something. I need to be at the High School at around 7:45.
Event Details!
Concert:
Song order-
Marche Militaire Francais
Beginner's Debut(day-butt, according to Senor Frijole, the band teacher)(featuring... the fifth grade band and their many flutists!)
Dark Adventure(it's an adventure in darkness!)
Celebration and Dance(a very complicated, 3-page song that I dislike because of it's complicatedness!)
Contest- Pretty much described above.
Mom must go vote!
Tommy's hair can't work until he has had supper!
Danny is being very cute!
I am blogging!
Tommy is going to vote with Mom while I watch the Dan-o!
That's enough for one day, don't'cha think?
Bye,
RJ

Summer in March! And Pi!
Title: The high for today is 79 degrees. Yep, 79. Right now, as I am typing, it is 53 degrees.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy. Pi day and the like, you know how it is. I'm a busy person!
Wednesday was Pi Day. In Algebra on Wednesday, J-rod, the kid who sits behind me, challenged me to write down all the digits of pi I could find on the internet. I wrote down 1,000 that day, and I took a break yesterday.
Speaking of yesterday, when I was going to my locker at 3:0-something, Mr. B, the Art teacher, stopped me in the hall and said he had heard that I knew pi up to the 40th decimal place. Well, it hadn't been specified, but you know what I mean. Anyway, he asked me to say what I knew of pi, so I did. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971. Pi to the 40th decimal place!
Next Thursday, I have a band concert, then Saturday, I have Contest. Urgh, contest. I'm hoping beyond hope that they split the low brass and the regular brass into two rooms for solos, so I have a chance at the honor recital. It probably won't happen, though.
I've gotta go to school now, bye! Going to show J-rod my pi paper!

On the Road!!!
Hello from the school van!!! We are on the interstate, heading to Lisle!!!!! We are going to stop at the Dekalb Oasis for a quick break, then continue on to Lisle. We left about an hour ago, and are at mile marker 52 1/2. Or somewhere around there. We're near Dixon. Everyone is playing on their electronics. Zinko on her iPod, Tromborne, McCrumpet[WonderBoy McCoy], and Drumhoff are sharing a Nintendo and McCrumpet's Kindle.
Not much else to report.
Bye,
RJ

I'm still not used to Kindleblogging. But practice makes perfect, right?
