Don't Stop Me Now

In that, I wanted to quote a song, preferably a Queen one, and this one seemed to fit today. It's been a long day, and it's still going. So let's get into what has been a hell of a Saturday (in a good way).

I woke up at 7:20 (which, really, is sleeping in for me), and I'm still half-waking up when the parents bustle me off to Rebel Sports about 20 minutes away for my brother's footy boots (AFL. I'm sure I've already said this.), as well as to get me some new sneakers (this pair's falling apart. Almost literally.). So we get to the shops, and there's this guy on one of the up escalators walking down. About 50 years old, so not a kid or anything. Just picture it: a 50 year old guy just staying in one spot, walking down the up escalator as if that's perfectly normal. And we have to go up that escalator, so he just stops, turns around, and goes up the escalator. And, he was looking at us strange. He was looking at us strange. Anyway, we get to Rebel, I get my shoes, taking around 10 minutes, while EJ (my brother) is getting his boots. I wander over, he's still getting his boots. Wait around 15 minutes, come back, still getting them. It's a miracle we ever got out of there. We get out, grab a doughnut and a strawberry milkshake, and end up going to Borders. Sweet. I got another Brian Greene book called 'Fabric of the Cosmos.' I can't wait to read it. We got home, and I ended up having to clean my room and do homework. Joy. I can't do it tomorrow, because I have cricket. (Oh, that reminds me: I was thinking of titling today's post 'The Final Countdown' because of the cricket final, but it didn't really sum up today. Bugger. After I got that out of the way, I went on my laptop for a while, going on Scratch, MSN, net-surfing, you know, the usual.

We left our house at around 5, to go to Shay's house. I went on the Wii, playing Wii Tennis against Lachlan and EJ (losing both times), and playing baseball with EJ (drawing.) Next, we had dinner, and then we got into handball. Shay and Lachlan play a bit differently, but then, so does everyone. We played for a while, and at the end, the game just started to fall apart. But, really, we were having more fun, 'cause we didn't care what we doing. It was great. I gave Shay my glasses, thus disabling both of our visions, and attempted to play handball. Which, as you can imagine, was both mindbendingly difficult, but really fun and carefree. It was like being drunk, sorta. When we went inside after about 1 and a half hours outside, Shay and I got on our computers (I brought my laptop), and EJ and Lachlan got on the Wii. So here I am, at 9:30, just sitting with my laptop, music blaring in my ears (the song stuck in my head today is 'Everything I'm Not' by the Veronicas. Yesterday, I forgot to mention, was 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen.), and blogging.

My day isn't finished, but this post is. Because chances are not much is going to happen from now and when I go to sleep. Of course, I could be wrong, but in that case I'll just resort to the tried-and-true method of putting off today what I can do tomorrow, and put it in the next post. (Oh, I won't be on MSN from 10 am to 6:30 pm tomorrow most likely, because of the final.) One thing's for sure: I definitely won't be sleeping in tomorrow. Unfortunately.

Tomorrow will be a busy, busy day,
