    As much as I'd like to say that everyone was a celebrity, I would like to share with you a little piece that I came up with:

It's best if our imaginations were a product of ourselves, rather than ourselves being a product of our imaginations.

It's probably better to dream that you were such a celebrity rather than be one, but I wouldn't know.

Anyways, yes, I've actually had a couple of run-ins with Robin Williams--he lives in San Francisco with his daughter, and was at Herb Caen's funeral.  He's actually a pretty nice guy, come to think of it.  It's funny because I don't really remember exactly what we said, but thinking, "Wow, I'm talking with Robin Williams, and, wow, he's just like another guy." 

What I mean is, I don't think any celebrity IS a celebrity.  They're all just people, like us, only they get seen more often than we do.  We, the silent, background people probably have just as much talent and just as much going on.  It just never gets publicized.

What are you thankful for?

That's easy: my friends.  Although they seem to be apologizing to me a lot lately.  I mean, that's a good thing.  I love it when people realize the fact that they screwed up.  It's just a nice feeling.  In their defense, though, I guess it's the stress getting to everyone, I mean it is our senior year, so.  The one thing I don't like are those stupid conditional sorries.  Like where have you heard this before: "I'm sorry, but..."

This isn't a real sorry.  If you screwed up, you're gonna have to say something like "I'm sorry, PERIOD" or if you wanna be formal about it, "I apologize."  Or even, "I screwed up, I'm sorry, I guess I just didn't know what was up" or WHATEVER.  Come to accept the humility and then the healing can begin.

I'm thankful for our new government, too.  I'm thankful for the fact that I like music so much and that my hearing is better.  Come to think of it, I have a lot of things to be thankful for.

What's your favorite music for a Sunday morning?
Submitted by Nick.

    Mostly classical stuff, I think that anything peaceful will do.  Most boys my age probably would listen to some kind of slow-rock thing, something to listen to either on a Sunday morning or when you're really high.  I can't give you anything more specific because my taste in music is so vast I almost like anything at any time.

What's on your Top 5 video games list?
Submitted by mileena.

This is an introduction to Vox's question of the day.  I think it's an interesting little mechanic: Vox introduces a question and spurs you on to create an entire journal entry, something need work on: writing in general.  Sometimes I'll answer the qotd, sometimes I won't.

This is an interesting question, for I don't really play video games anymore, but I still have favorites.  The list, is, as follows:

1. Lemmings
2. Starcraft
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (on the Sega Genesis--pretty much any early Sonic game is good.)
4. Super Smash Bros. (Either one)
5. Advance Wars (take your pick.)

More or less.  I have others, but won't go into detail right now.  Lemmings was a great, innovative game that should have been remade again and again.  The possibilities with Lemmings are endless, so why did it stop?  I demand a pocket-one, I've heard rumors they had it for the PSP.

And I'm going into fanboy-ism.  Gah.  Bad.

I'm also going to be introducing my own qotd: the Quote of the day (I guess I'll have to tag it with quotd.)  It'll be here in the next post.  For now I'm sitting in Math class, and I'm supposed to be doing work.
