Would something like this be feasible?

Getting SJers together to see a movie opening day or soon after. War of the Worlds is released today, which is why I had been thinking about this. Obviously, its much much too short of notice for this movie, but would something like this be possible for future movies?

How many people would be interested in something like this?

I’ll be at the UConn Freshmen Orientation Thurs and Fri this week.
No worries, somjuan will still update.
Just know if the site decides to bite the dust, I won’t be around to fix it.
Thats all.

Well, we had graduation yesterday. Nothing too special, really.

I’m sorry I couldn’t hang around for longer and chat with people, but my family pulled me away for a barrage of photos. eh

Its 6:20 in the morning, and I’ve been awake since 7 am yesterday morning. :( This is gonna screw up my whole week’s sleep cycle. Oh well. Not like I was actually going to do anything this week anyway.

I really need to get to sleep. Joe wrote this really cool paragraph in his last blog entry, but when I tried to read it, my brain rejected it. I’ll try again later.

I’m gonna try to go to sleep, but its light outside, and only getting brighter, so this may prove to be difficult.

We’ll see.

I’ve said that if anyone was ever to see the inside of my mind, they wouldn’t find any gears whirring away, but they’d see a little man, running in a hampster wheel, and he’s responsible for everything. Well, that lil dude is on break right now, so I’m kinda here, kinda not. I’m amazed I was able to drive home as well as I did.

So I won’t be seeing a lot of people from my senior class for quite a long time. Some I’ll be sad to see go, others I could really care less about.

I don’t really care all that much since I know that the people who I want to keep in touch with, I will. Does that make sense? Grammar + morning = bad.

If I can’t fall asleep, I’m really in trouble. Although, sitting back in my chair, I don’t really think that’ll be a problem.

I might stay up until 7 just so I can make it a clean 24 hours. Or something.

I need a yawning smilie.

I had forgotten I wanted to post my favorite quote over graduation.
Right after we were finished, everyone was walking around, congratulating each other, and I found Ben S.

“I hope I don’t have to kill you. That would suck. Just don’t piss off the government or anything.”

I thought this was pretty funny, since he would be going into the military, and he knew that I’m going to eventually take over the world.

Just got back, and I’d like to say I really enjoyed this movie. I knew I would.

Its that kind of movie. Not amazing, not something I’d want to see more than once, but its entertaining, and definately worth seeing. Especially if you don’t have to pay for it.

I’ll write more in the morning. Probably.

Nah, thats a lie. I’ll wake up in the morning and forget I even wrote this. Better wrap it up now.

Uh,

Its good.

Whoa. In the mail today I got a letter I sent myself in 7th grade. I remember we wrote these in our language arts class with Ms Lyons. Very, very, very cool.

Oddly, my handwriting hasn’t improved. Thankfully my spelling has.

(here it is - exactly as it is written)

Dear 12th grade John

Hidy-Ho! Do you remember your sloppy hand writing that no one could read? And how you were such a bad speller? And how you anoyed the crap out of Matt Augeri asking him how to spell almost every word in the world? Do you remember listening to the radio at night, trying to go to sleep? How you liked Action and Funny movies? How you always watched cartoons whenever you came home from school? And how you dwelled on Roller Coaster Tycoon and 3D Home Archetict on the computer? By the way, I hope you have a laptop or at least a Palm Piolet. Do you remember Eric N. or Michael D. or Ryan Santi? What about Nate Simmons? How Ryan always acted like a tard? The musical minute? 7th grade lunch? The never ending destruction and mutalation of gummy bears, apple sauce, and other assoreted foods? Do you remember L.A. class with Ms. Lyons who is making you write this letter at this very moment? What do you remember about Math (ack!) with Mrs. Sones? Or science with Mr. Greenlaw or geography with Ms. Lepo? I’m hoping that you have made at least Honors every year. You should be at Xavier if all goes well! I hope you remember 7th grade and have a girlfriend. Once you gradiuate, don’t forget, you are aiming for M.I.T. In this letter you will find signatures on a piece of paper in this envelope. Good luck at collage!

With support always,
John

And sure enough, in the letter on a piece of paper in the envelope, there was a paper with signatures from 7th grade.

Man, I totally let my 7th grade self down. I was supposed to have honors every year, and be on my way to MIT with a laptop and a girlfriend.

What happened?

Well, the internet happened. In fact, only three months and three days after I wrote this letter, I sealed my fate. On September 11th, 2000, I registered on my first online message boards. MOTL. That is the day from where I start counting my time on the internet.

Thankfully, I remember almost everything from that letter. The one thing I don’t completely remember is the musical minute. I’m sure I’ll get it eventually.

If nothing else, I’m happy I don’t say ‘Hidy-Ho!’ anymore. (at least not as much)

A big Thank You to Ms Lyons (or whoever sent this out) !

Aloha,
