   It's the BOMB!!!

Wow. I had an interesting experience at school today. Want to here about it? Well, my first period class(Pre-AP Civics) is going to be filmed Monday for the Arkansas Education Television Network. We were looking up stuff for it today. Second period(Introduction to Engineering Design) was normal. Pre-AP Geometry(third period) started off normal. I was going to read all period, because we were going over a test. But, about fifteen minutes into third period, the school's fire alarm went off. We all thought it was a drill, so I put my book up, and we all slowly went outside. We didn't even know if we were going the right way and to the right spot, but it was the closest door. Well, after about ten minutes of goofing around with crazy friends(we were crazy, trying to do high twenties and tying our shoes without bending down but bringing the foot up without bending your knee), we began to wonder what was going on, because they weren't letting us in(I also think that our Geometry teacher wasn't there, only one or two teachers were watching our group at the side of the building). Then, I saw the people in front of the school moving away from it, and then some people came and told us to come that way. We almost did, but a teacher told us not to. But, a few minutes later everyone was told to go into the stadium down and onto the football field(no, we couldn't sit in the stands). Down there, we found all of our friends. A few of us thought there was a real fire, others a drill for the fire station. And then, rumors of a bomb threat started. So, we just walked around a little, stood around more than walking. Some people were going to play Red Rover, but a teacher stopped it. Then someone started break dancing(he got a whole crowd around him in five seconds), and they couldn't stop that(I heard the whistle go about five times). That went on for about fifteen to twenty minutes(I didn't join in, it was only about a quarter of the school doing that). I saw a dance line going in the crowd. The principal came over the announcer's thing and told us to remain/stay on the field and that there were bathrooms behind the visitor's stands. About an hour later, people started sitting down. I think I was the first to actually lie down. So, two hours out there and almost everyone's sitting down and lying down, and the sun came out. We had missed most of third period, all of fourth, lunch, and fifth. We were complaining how they should go to McDonald’s(which was down the road next to Wal-Mart, which was across the road over a lot that's being cleared) and get us all something to eat and let us go home. Of course, after an hour had gone by, everyone was sure it had been a bomb threat. Rumors had started going around about who had done in. The only one I heard((then how do you know there were more!)) was that an Indian kid I know did it(which just wasn't right). I thought it was fun(got to glance at my crush off and on over half the time!), until around the end of what would've been lunch, but I wasn't eating today, anyway(forgot to make my lunch). I think it was Mr. Sun's fault. He just had to come out! Well, about a quarter of the way through second lunch(my fifth period), they let us inside! We went back to third period. It was a bomb threat, made by the same person who did a bomb threat on the said Wal-Mart about one or two weeks ago. Someone saw him arrested. The police had been to the school with a bomb-dog, searching lockers and sniffing back-packs, the firemen were there, the local radio station(we might have two, one for the town, the other for a college) had us on, we were even searching the news in third period for us(don't think we were on, though, the news was over, anyway)! On the field, I saw someone filming us with a small hand-held camera. He looked like a high-school student, though(he even filmed the dancing by getting up on someone's shoulders). So, we after all that, we went back to third period, then 1st lunch(which was shorter than usual, I just read through it), then fifth(Pre-AP English for me! It was shortened a little. We took a test, but ate brownies and peppermints!), then 7th Period(it was an hour long, and I had Physical Science that period. But we didn’t have to take a test!). I think we should’ve gone home after the threat, because a bomb might’ve still been in the school(plus, I was tired, hungry, and getting a headache).

Political Post

Sorry, the post I was going to post has been cancelled. Why? Well, originally I was going to post about Wesley Clark and about him running for president and how I hope he beats Bush. But, my grandmommy came down from Little Rock. We had dinner a few minutes ago with the family. And my grandmommy and dad together talking equals political talk. We don't like Bush. He's a power-hungry man. So, that's some of what we talked about. And right now I want to know why people think Clinton was an awful president and why Bush is such a great one, when Clinton brought the economy up and balanced the budget, etc, but Bush made the economy go from good to bad, etc? Feel free to answer. I'm working on an article to post at some point to try to persuade people to not vote for Bush.

   Strange.....

Strange. The bottom border to my table that goes around the posts looks blue on this computer, but looks silver at home. It's supposed to be either white or dark white. So, what colors do you guys see?

Bored in Class

Current Mood:	Bored
Feeling:	Tired and Lazy
Listening To:	The hum of computers, people talking quietly-ish, and a printer
Watching:	My Computer Screen(Gosh! How Interesting!)
Thinking:	I wish I could go to other peoples' sites!
Also thinking:	I hope no one decides to see where I've been going and looks on the school server, somehow steal my password, and tries to figure out who I have a crush on.
Big Thought of the Moment:	A big thought? Now? At a time of boredness? Do I still need to answer this?
Anime Thought:	I wonder what anime I should change this background to next...(It's currently Fruits Basket)
Post:	I'm bored. I'm in my Introduction to Engineering Design class and we've got a free day. But we can't play many games. So, I've come here to post about my boredness. I'm too lazy to put in the table here. I'll probably put the border on, though. I'll probably end up playing games in here, anyway. And I've got another chance on the computer for the whole period in English. I'm too nervious to go around looking at all your sites. You guys probably don't care, though. You know, I might end up messing around with a little html, after all. So, you still might get a table on this post even though I said don't count on it. Yea, I'm going now. Look for a political post later on! Bye!
UPDATE:	Can't play games at all. I'm gonna be majorly bored after this is modified.
