Well after the Claritin (non-drowsy my backside), I spent the day doing nothing worth talking about, dad got me 4 litres of Dr Pepper, and an ice cream cone. I also played my Harmony Sovereign electric guitar today, because I snapped the first string on my Crate electric guitar :grumpy:
 
So much fun!! but very exhausting too. For my uncle's birthday - my uncle, my little sister, my younger brother and I went to Wild Waves, an aquatic theme park in Federal Way (between Seattle and Tacoma). We spent 9 hours there, we went to every ride - non children rides by the way - at least 5 times. For me the downside is that its on uneven terrain, so lots of walking up and down small hills.
 
It was ok. All I really did was trade in some games and pre-order others. I also went looking for some glasses I might like, as it will take 2 weeks for them to get all the stuff done so the sooner I get them, the sooner I can get done with drivers ed. Even though I didn't find a pair looking through the stores, I remembered that an anime/video game character I like sometimes wears glasses so I'm gonna try to get some that look like his.
 
Bad so far... 👎

Had a really bad and pointless car ride with my parents because my mom wanted to see a museum that was closed today. So we drove 2h 30min for nothing and had a strange encounter...

We were in a city not far from home when we had to stop at a red light. All of a sudden there's a guy walking up to us right in front of our car. He was tall, about 25 to 30 years old with a three-day stubble and he was holding his right hand out to signalise us to stop. His hand was extremely dirty. He proceeded to walk up to the passenger side where I sat, but it was easy to tell that he was drunk from his walking. He wanted me to open the window or door, which I didn't do. He started pounding against the glass which got me slightly frightened. When he realized I wasn't going to open he got mad and slammed against the door. Luckily that caused no damage... But yeah, that was intense. :nervous:

On the upside, we had a Wiessmann Roadster right in front of us for about half an hour. That car has a great sound for sure.

See you around,

Well I've had a busy week, I hope that's okay to talk about here.

I was up north for a week with my parents. We went to Lake Huron, and the Au Sable river. Then Friday my dad and I went trail riding. That was a great ride because I was riding at my best.

Saturday (yesterday) night we were still up north and we decided to go to a track not too far from us where apparently Brad Keselowski used to race. Anyways it was my dad, our neighbor (with his dog) and I. They had a small dirt oval in the middle of an already small paved oval. On that oval they race Derby cars and they get paid if they flip over. That only happened once but a lot of people crashed. There was a lot of good racing on the paved oval. The classes ranged from junk street cars to state of the art modifieds. I'll tell you what, those modifieds were awesome! They sounded so powerful and they were fast. But they weren't the only good races, all of the classes had great racing and a couple of good crashes. However, a lot of oil got spilled, and some cars got stuck together and it took forever to clean up, leaving us there until 12:30 (which was this morning) in the morning. I had to drive home since I was (obviously) not drinking. It was my first time in the dark. We were going through the woods and I was terrified a deer would run out. I saw a few contemplating running but luckily they didn't.

If anyone would like to see video of the racing PM me and maybe I'll put some up on YouTube.

Then I slept for only 7 and a half hours and my friend who has a cabin close to us picked me up. We went canoeing (is canoeing a word?) and that was fun. Then he took me into the woods and he brought a shot gun. I'd never shot a gun before so I was nervous. His dad threw skeet. That gun was loud and I was nervous to shoot it. Now I don't know anything about guns except they probably hurt when they shoot you, but it seemed like quite a gun to begin with. But I shot it. Holy hell there was a lot if recoil, and of course I missed all the skeet. My ears were ringing for a while after. It was fun, but I won't lie it scared me quite a bit.
 
The last couple of days weren't very good, really. Just stayed at home most of the time. Did visited the mall a few times because I stayed in the house too long, but then I regretted it :p Also got a letter saying that I got an offer for IB, whereas before I wasn't able to. That actually surprised me & got me pleased.
 
Weird morning. I came back to work this morning after 3 vacation weeks to realize i only start tomorrow. Will drink my coffee then return at home!
 
Started well, saw the olympic torch, but has just got a lot worse. I've just found out that the boy killed on the Isle of Wight on Friday was a boy in my class at school, who I wasn't really good friends with, but still it's so sad. He was such a promising sports player (playing U16 hockey for England at 14) and he will be missed by everyone. RIP Charlie :(

Didn't sleep at all last night....Going to be miserable today.
 
Strange day for me. It's Monday which meant a social gathering. My life just seems very black and white without booze, which I've become abstinent from once more. Not really sure where my mind is in terms of illness; rough day or getting sick, don't know.

Had the idea of creating a guild/ union for those who work in the same industry as me in this city. I know it'll go down well with the other ex-pats but the law won't look to kindly on it once I start trying to get the schools to comply with expected terms. I think i just need something to busy myself with to avoid going insane, or as I now like to call it 'getting melancholy'.

I thought the reason for cheap labour in china was that unions were illegal.

Well, that's true, but technically it wouldn't be a legal union in a sense, just a group of people in the same profession that meet up and discuss work. The fact is, if all of the teachers in this city (90% which I know and am friends with) decide that something needs to change, the institutes we work for will have to listen as without us they make no money.
 
Dreadful, I'm terrified I've given myself Diabetes, I drank around 25 cans of Cola last week, and now I'm getting all the symptoms of this illness. I would have been more careful, if I knew what Diabetes was, getting checked out on Wednesday.
 
Nothing really special today. Checked the forums and played some PC games at early morning, then off to paint my model car, made it worse, then went to polish my other model car with wax (or whatever it's called, the box says it's a 'compound'). Read some books (while playing PC games :lol:) at the late afternoon, then I started to play GT5 at night. Now I'm using my computer, and it's pretty windy and raining outside. The winds are blowing so strong that the building I'm living in is swaying from side to side, and I'm feeling slightly dizzy now @_@

And best of luck to my father, as he's going to take a plane to Paris (for work), and it's delayed. Hopefully he'll arrive there unharmed :)
 
@Jai 25 cans?!? I drink one 591mL bottle of Dr Pepper a day, but I'll drink over 3 bottles of water before I finish the Dr Pepper. I also eat healthy food too, but dude, tone down the soda intake. Trust me. My aunt has diabetes, and a friend of mine has diabetes, you don't want it. If I were you I'd be drinking only water for the next several days.
 
If I knew what it was, I would have reverted the intake instantly. I'm getting symptoms like sticky lips, foamy saliva and extreme thirst, I think it is too late for me.

Hope for you that was the last time! You know you drank about 4000 calories with these 25 cans?!
 
I drink Soda quite often but >95/100 of the time I drink sugar free. Even diet soda is really bad for you albeit in less dramatic ways compared to it's sugary cousin. I get tired far too easy for someone my age (wake up at 7am and I'm knackered by 8pm) and I do think it has a negative effect on my concentration and focus.

I think I'm going to go on a soda curfew from now on. It wouldn't be too hard if soda wasn't so easy and convenient to access; when I'm thirsty and can't be bothered to do much I just reach into the fridge and grab a can.

And now on topic: My day has been pretty dull. There is quite high pollen levels up here in Scotland and it has triggered my hay fever to the point where I cannot succeed in ignoring the symptoms. I'm glad I'm not down in England or Wales as it is even worse there. And positives? Well I'm actually understanding and remembering some of the history book I'm currently reading. It's good that I actually catch some of that info with the sieve that happens to be my brain. :lol:

Don't worry, I drink far more than that and I'm perfectly healthy.

You can't be, or if you are you won't be soon.

Anyway different people need/can tolerate different amounts of sugar.
 
Wow Jai, that's a LOT of soda to drink in such a short time. I stopped drinking soda for a a few months and lost about 10 pounds. That's with exercise also though, but not a whole lot. Now I drink maybe 1/2 a week.

But on topic it's very boring, since I have absolutely nothing to do I think I'm going to work out. But at least I finally fell asleep and woke up at a decently normal time. (woke up at 10)

Average of four cans per day? Meh. Where I used to work, 3 of us would go through the better part of a 24 pack each day.

You didn't know what diabetes was or that it existed? I figured everyone had heard of it because it's always on TV and doctors talk about it a lot.

Ironically, I'm at the doctors right now waiting for shots. I was here for a sports physical which is so awkward because first of all the urine sample was difficult because I didn't have to go and then they had to examine my genitals. What dies my package have to do with sports? Anyways, I'm waiting for my tetnis and meningidis (sp?) shots.

I also got some homework done.

Yeah, my metabolism is very high and I burn up most of the sugar before my body has a chance to store it so all is good.
 
Darigold plant in South Seattle had ammonia leak. I didn't know, so my grandma send me to the Safeway pharmacy (across from the Darigold Plant) and it was all blocked off, to get back home I had to navigate around many residential streets (in my South Seattle area I know all the small streets). So I got home and searched my local news to what happened.. This was the 2nd ammonia leak, the other one was about 11 years ago.
