3rd Moon of Earth Chronicles: Happy Stalking Awareness Month!

Okay. Big post of the new year.

On Thursday, I went to this BSA thingy at the Civic Center. The special guest person was Dave Barry!! It was great. It was formal and what not, so I wore that shirt my grandmother gave me, but that's nothing. You should've seen what my AUNT was wearing. *cough*CLEAVAGE*cough* hehe. And Dave Barry called my grandmother a deranged woman. And his actual speech was hilarious (all the material was taken from his books and column, but it was still great). The exploding whale story made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe. It really hurt. Anyway, you can actually see the video of the whale exploding whale here.
The food was really fancy, but it wasn't very good. I had quail for the first time. No, it does not taste like chicken. Beef tenderloin that is way undercooked doesn't either. But the fact I've had quail is cool. And the person who created the menu is the mother of a high school friend of Richard. Apparently, she would create these fancy meals for her son and his friends (such as my brother) for lunch EVERY DAY. 0.0
I feal really, really sorry for Gracie because she didn't get to go to this lovely event because she had way too much homework (every subject). =(

So, I got home at 10, William insisted in staying in my room until 10:20, and at 10:30 I was informed that there would be a swim meet the next day. That was just dandy. Then I read until 11. Of course, I had to get up at 4:30 to do my homework, and had to get ready for swimming at 5:30. Yeah...5 hours of sleep isn't very fun.

So after school yesterday, I went home, got ready, and waited for my mom to take me to the Maverick. I arrived there to late to warm up for the meet. -_-' I did absolutely terribly in my events. Of course, it was kind of expected considering I hadn't swum in over a week and missed the warm up and just stood around during the 15 min. break. But even so, adding 4 seconds to breast and over 10 to fly is really, really bad. But I did get to see Eleysa and Elle. Yay! (Elle does NOT need to be wearing shoes with 3 in. soles. She's tall enough already!)

So I got home, showered, and ate dinner. I was dead tired, but I watched a movie with my family anyway. (For those of you who are curious, we watched Wedding Crashers.) Then I read some more (I should stop doing that late into the night). I still didn't finish that freakin' story.

So I finished it today. It was good. ^_^ >:3

I hope to go to Barnes&Noble tomorrow. I haven't gone in over a month! (Plus, I got a gift card for Christmas. ^_^)

There's a swim meet next weekend in Lubbock. Blech.

Now I must tell you about 2 things that are important in my life.

1) Somehow, it was decided I should get my dad's car when I turn 16. It's a really nice car and would be much better than my brother's first cars....but I just don't want it. SO, it was all worked out on our way to the Dave Barry thing. My dad gets a new car. William gets his car (which is a "cool college car" and would be best for tight parking in Austin and the long drive between Austin and Amarillo). I get William's car (which is a "cool high school car" and I have expressed liking of). So everyone is happy! ^_^

2) I am seriously considering changing my name. Or rather, adding a name. Which would mean my initials would be SEAB and I would have 2 last names. If you haven't guessed it, The name is Archer. Why? Because Biggs is the LAMEST last name EVER. I've diliked it since I was little. And my mom has always told me she would let me change it (she thinks it's unfair that our stupid society has us take the father's name which I TOTALLY agree with). Even with the change, I'd still go by the same thing in high school (since everyone knows me as Biggs). But when I go off to college... then I could potentially DROP the Biggs. ^_^ Now of course my dad feels hurt by this. Well, it's not his fault he has a stupid last name. And you know, my mom said that if I ever applied to medical school (she probably meant Southwestern) they would know exactly who I was. I thought that was kinda funny.
Anyway, I would like some feedback on this idea.
