January Park

PARK! I LIKE PARK!! Okay, apparently my last post wasn't clear on the possible days that I was going to do a park. Of course, if they'd have read it thouroughly...Well, anyway, I guess an update couldn't hurt anything. So here's the basics:
Date: Two possible. Maybe a third possible..depending. #1: Jan. 22. This is the last day of finals. You would get transport. to the park and back, after school (1/2 day). #2: Jan. 23. Day after finals. No school. Transport to & from the park. #3: MAYBE some day during midwinter break (feb.). Not likely since we're probably going somewhere.
Time: If Jan 22: From approx: 11:30 - 1:30/2:00. Or, if it suits everybody better, from 2:00-4:00. If Jan 23: Don't know. Probably approx 2:00-4:00. This is where I need input you guys. When can you be there? When can you get rides?
Chaperone: My mom. She's officially agreed, though she says she doesn't want to be there longer than 2 hours.
Place: Park. Same place as the last park. If you forget which park that is, email me. Or go on Yahoo Groups and read the old park posting.
Transportation: Must be provided by a parent/sibling/friend/whatever. I'm not involved in that. Have rides. Or, if you live close, walk. I don't care.
Food: None. If we go on Jan 22, right after school, then everybody can bring a bag lunch. If you want. None provided.
Cost: $100.00 paid directly to me. Just kidding. None.
Activities: Hiking, sports, stick fights, kicking...same as usual.
Business: Have anything you want/need discussed ready. I figure, like last time, we hike 'til we find that tree, go through official business, and then hike more, play sports, etc.
***NEW PROPOSED RULES***(will you approve them?)
I talked to Hungry about this the Wed. before break, and meant to talk to Dan but forgot in light of golden pennies & VB graphics. Sorry. I basically propose a couple rules pertaining to official business to keep it from taking too much time. What do you think?
1) Time limit. Don't ramble. Get to the point and move on. Actual limit to be decided by everyone at once.
2) Silence. No talking until the person presenting business is done - except for relevant questions/info/blah. PLEASE approve this one guys. This is the problem that made me take 20 min on Cedar Point last time instead of 5 minutes (As in, DCM jokes and dictator insults).
*******************************************************
That's it for now guys. Hopefully this is clear. EMAIL ME AND TELL ME WHAT TIMES/DAYS WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (thank you dan for being the only person to do this last time).

Park - Answers and the Basics

Many of you have been listening to me yap about the park for ages now. You've also probably heard at least one of my many ideas for the park - even if you didn't realize it. I've gotten lots of questions. Obviously, or else I wouldn't be making a whole post about it this early.
1. I want a winter park. I have since not long after the first park though I probably mentioned it shortly after the second one.
2. I don't care about laser tag (though I like it), bowling, Vgames, or virtually any other activity, even if I help plan them. Actually I think the only fully original plan I've made so far is parks... and that thing at the end of last year @ my house. But the park is important, especially now that we can't go outside for lunch/recess. Everything else? Don't care. Park? Definitely care.
3. I don't care what y'all say, I'm not discussing specifics for the park yet. Its to early. But, to assauge questions and assumptions, here are the basics:
a) My #1 date is Friday January 23rd. Its the day after finals and we have no school. #2 date is January 22nd. This is the last day of finals, and we have a 1/2 day. #3 is any day during mid-winter break (not christmas break) that doesn't coincide with my mom's plans to visit my sister (I don't know what those are yet). Please let me know if/when you're going away for mid-winter break or the long weekend after finals. Give me any info you can possibly have at the present time, and any new info that you happen to recieve between now and then.
b) Activities (and this is as specific as I'll go for the time being) would be the usual - hiking - with snow thrown into the mix. But most importantly (if least fun) is the official business. There are things that must be discussed. As in, they need to be talked about as a group not listed on blog, email, or print out. I'm already working out a system to get that part over with as quickly as possible without utter chaos. More later. I'd like to discuss them as a group so I don't have to repeat myself - and so nobody else does. I'd bet other people have certain things they want clarified/discussed/announced/whatever. Thus, I want as many people as humanly possible to be there. I will work around things if I have to (though I'd prefer not to). Another reason I want all info about when you're free as soon as you have it.
c) Since I've been planning this for so very long, my mom knows about it, and has all but agreed to chaperone like she did last time with one change - she'd rotate between the park bench and the car due to the cold.
***GIVE ME THE TIMING INFO***
*****Provided my mom gives me permission - I'm still working on that - I want to invite Martin. Don't argue with me, I have reasons. And plenty of them.*****
*********Tuba: Please make sure Burke gets this - not Martin yet. I'll get it to Hungry. Gabe...if anyone talks to him tell him to call me. If not, I'll get a hold of him later.*********

PS. Feel free to ask me any questions about the basics. Or even specifics though I might not answer you yet. I can't, not until I work it all out myself. I will not be posting anything else on the blog for a while, especially not about this, but if somebody has a question pertaining to everyone I will attach it to this posting as AS A COMMENT. So if the number of comments (see bottom of posting) increases, CHECK THEM. That's it. See y'all.

My Explanation

Okay, by "working around what goes on at school" I meant that it'd make life much easier if we tried to schedule stuff coinciding with school-run stuff. That'd be way easier to plan. Like....I don't know...whatever they do at schools. It'd make life a LOT easier....planning stuff doesn't = fun. Except once in awhile.
Actually I was kinda thinking of the canned food drive thing - I still needed community service for my history class and I figured maybe the group could all go - it's supposed to be fun combined with work - but I never said anything because I ended up getting the hrs I needed when I thought I'd be one short...I can't add.

PS. Please note that I won't be online as much as usual as of now. Until sometime next week.

Computer Issues and L-Tag party.

Hi. Sorry I haven't been able to do much stuff online. I've been having computer issues. Then it died. We had to get it fixed. It had to be reformated, but luckily pictures, word docs, powerpoints, and some other files were saved.

I'm working on an impossible quiz. It's pretty tough. And really fun! Jessica is too, but mine is better.

Anyway, so my birthday is December 6, so there's a LaserTag party on December 5. You all should already know that, since I sent out those invitations.

Now I have to reinstall EVERYTHING!!!!!

All my videogames saves are deleted :-{

Could SOMEBODY please explain to me what Jessica meant by "working around what goes on at school?"
