I was supposed to attend a Bar Mitzfah today, but decided not to go, after I heard that the ceremony can go on for more than a couple hours, and I just don't have that kind of attention span. Plus, this is for a kid I hardly know, so it'd just be me, and the kids I do know just standing around talking. I decided that staying home would be a wiser choice, so maybe next time.
On another note, last night I met Andrew Clements... sort of. He was doing a speech last night at the Sandwich High School, and my English teacher said that whoever went would get a free 100% on our next quiz/test. Of course, I jumped at this opportunity, even though I've never read one of Andrew Clements' books. He's actually quite an interesting guy, and has written more books than I could ever write in two life-times (that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but you know what I mean); he had this thing he called a "story-time-line" or something like that, and it was basically the front cover of every book he's ever written all attached in the order they were published from left to right. It was quite a long time-line.
Anyway, he's pretty funny, and has an interesting life story. I actually might read one of his books sometime soon!
In other news, I was recently browsing that wonderfully interesting site, YouTube, and was randomly looking up different movie trailers coming up in 2010. I came across some interesting ones; a remake of "A Nightmare on Elm Street," "The Last Airbender," some other romantic comedies, and some really lame fake trailers for wannabe-movies (what I call fake movies people want to see for some odd reason, but would go down the drain if they ever did come out in theaters). But, then I came across something unusually interesting; "Toy Story 3."
"Toy Story" is one of my favorite Disney classics of all time! I remember way back when my Uncle Rick would always call me "Woody". Why he did, I'm not quite sure. Probably because I always pretended to be Woody- just as I had pretended to be Tarzan (basically stripping down to my whitie-tighties, and "swinging through the jungle" with Gramma), Buzz Lightyear (I got a Buzz costume for Christmas one year, and spoke in this deep, manly, Buzz Lightyear voice, "Hi, mumma"), and Batman (I believe I used to go to the supermarket dressed up in my black Batman mask, and the whole getup). But, hey, I was, like, three. We all go through these stages of our lives where we want to grow up to be superheroes... or, in my little brother's case, a dog.
Speaking of which, I still don't know what I want to be for Halloween. I have plans to go with a group of friends from school who live in the neighborhood (not the gang I mentioned in previous posts), and Halloween is really only about a week away, so I gotta get cracking with this costume of mine. I was going to be a glow-in-the-dark stick figure, by wearing all black, and outline my body with glow-sticks, but I'm not sure about that idea anymore.
Ahh, where was I... oh yeah, Toy Story. Yeah, even though I'm a bit big for those movies, I might actually want to see that one. It's supposed to be coming out June 18, 2010, so I'll mark my calendar, and watch out for commercials. To see the trailer, click here.
Well, everyone, have a fantastic weekend!
Yours in awesomeness,

Toy Story is legendary! Haven't seen it in ages though :P Great post! I love to reminisce about childhood, and hearing about what other people got up to in their youth :)
