This LoTR character identification is pretty good: You are most like Elrond. Although you are very serious, you're not above having a good time. It's just that your definition of a good time is pretty different from other people's. You're very smart, so use your knowledge to help others! At least your not so pessimistic. People may think you're hard nosed, but all your friends know better.

AP testing is.... OVER!!!! Finally, my last AP test is done with. I've figured out that, over the years, I have AP tested for close to 40 hrs. And it over. No more AP tests. No more reading the student handbook, over and over again while waiting for everyone else to finish filling out there stuff. Just really, really, really hard college finals. Oh damn. This is going to suck.
Well the academic year is wrapping up, but I'm not going to procrastenate and am already tring to stop going to school. There is so much for me to be happy about right now. Great friends, a good job, little responsibility, and a goodly amount of freedom. Life is good. It would be better if I didn't need to turn in those english essays, but oh well...
Need to finish esays, maybe I'll remembre to post again today.

Woohooo!!!! Green Day fucking rocks man!!! Hell Yeahhh!!!! <--my entire vocabulary last night.
If you haven't guessed, I went and say the greatest band in the history of the world last night, the one, the only, Pet Shop Boys. No really, I went to the Green Day (okay, Pop Disaster tour, but Blink sucks and Jimmy Eat World was only on for like 35 minutes) concert in Tacoma. It was awesome, to use the word in it's original sense, which that it inspired awe. I was in a state of euphoria throughout the entire Green Day set. I don't believe I stopped moving or singing at any point during it. Billy Joe is an insanely good rabble rouser. He had 30,000 people (or whatever the capacity of the Tacoma dome is) shouting "Hey, hey, hey" and "AAAAAAA OOOOOOO" all night long. They really involved the crowd in the concert. In fact they invited 3 random guys in the crowd to come up and play their instruments. Can you imagine it: Green Day, invites you on stage, to play their instruments, with them, in front of 30,000 people. Absolutely insane. They ended there set with a guitar burning, drum set mauling finale, followed with Billy Joe playing an electic version of "Good Riddance" for a finale. Absolutely the best concert I've been to, ever.
Highlights:
The booing after billy joe told the crowd they weren't going to play "Basketcase" (and the cheering after he told them he was "such a fucking liar")
The dancing mexican brass section
The dancing chicken and bumble bee brass section
The 3 kids pulled out of the audience playing with Green Day
Green Day playing lynard skynard and the temptations, (the temptations "Shout" was the one of the best songs in the set, second only to:)
When I come around. Best song in the world. What more do I have to say about it.
Blink concert was also pretty cool with some fun pyrotechnics and special effects. The only thing that really sticks out in my mind though is travis playing a drum solo on a plat form flying through the air spinning upside down. That was pretty cool (although no where near Green Days unfathomable awesomeness)
Oh, Dan and Emma, thanks for the company. I can't think of a better two people I could have gone to the concert with. Later all
