Woah. It's dusty in here. *wipes off the dust*

So, what's up guys? It's been a while, eh? (yes, I said "eh". Deal with it you Canadian-hater) I hope you all haven't missed me too much (those of you who read this and I haven't actually just talked to ... if that's anyone at all lol)

So, a lot's happened the last few months. To put it as my cousin did, I GRADUMACATED!! FUCK YEAH!!

Yessir, I am a high school graduate. And y'know, as much as I'll miss (parts of) Devon, I'm fuckin' glad to be done. Seven years is enough. I need a fresh start, y'know?

So yeah, that was cool, and the party that ensued was cool. It was all keeeeeeeeeeewl...

And then there was Beauty and the Beast. Ah yes... BATB.

FUN. FREAKING. TIMES.

BATB was, without a doubt, the single greatest Summer Stage show I've ever been in. The end.

I mean, come on. We got standing ovations for Be Our Guest (which is smack in the middle of the show) every performance, and at the end we got two company bows every performance (FOUR for the closing night... That was INSANE)

So, first, a shoutout to my BATB pals: HEY JENNA HAMLET CHRIS ASH TAL MANDA CHRISTINA NICOLE!! And I'm probly forgetting a few people, but oh well. It happens.

And now, all the inside jokes from BATB that I can think of off the top of my head (which probably won't be anywhere near close to all of them since my memory sucks)

- "I break for optical illusions."
- Backstage fun with Manda (it's not what you think you perverts)
- Little girl screaming... Fuck yeah!
- 9 to 1 at Pica's... Yeah...
- Shotgun fights, techno raves... Gotta love it.
- Todd. 'Nuff said.

...Wow, is that really all I can think of? I'd've thought there'd be more... (yes I used a double contraction. I don't care.)

Oh, I had a job this summer too. I was working at Boyle Energy on Manoa Rd. That may not mean much to anyone but I don't care. Nyah. It was pretty cool as jobs go, and it paid well. So that's cool.

Oh yeah, one last thing. I'M IN COLLEGE BABY!! FUCK YEAH!!

...Did that merit a "fuck yeah"? Yeah, I think it did. FUCK YEAH!!

So I'm all moved up in my dorm and everything, and y'know, I gotta say, it's pretty roomy in here (for a dorm room... It's still smaller than my room at home, but it's certainly a lot bigger than I expected. So it's wicked cool. My roommate's cool too. His name's Chris Wiley and so far he seems like a pretty nice guy (though not into video games... Grrr... ) So, although I just moved in here today, college is goin' well (so far... Dun dun duuuuun... lol) But people need to come visit me. I need to know I'm missed. That means you, you-know-who.

So, I think that's it. The comic's still goin', for those of you who care about that. I'm doin' a college storyline right now to celebrate me goin' to college. It should be quite fun. Yeah... I think I'm done here. So, to quote Drusuke, "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

Okay, I'm getting better at this. It's only been slightly longer than a month since my last update. ^_^;

Well, guess what everybody? I'm officially DONE HIGH SCHOOL! w00t! ^_^ I don't have to go into school again 'til Baccaluariate (sp?) on June 2. And I don't have to get up for that. So say goodbye to high school Vinny, 'cause he's dead! (Though I doubt college Vinny will be much different... A bit less whiny, perhaps, but other'n that prolly not different at all...)

Anyways, life's been pretty boring the last couple weeks. I've had some big events, but overall pretty boring. First: The Spring Concert.

KICKED. ASS. 

Anyone who missed it should be ashamed of themselves forever. 'Nuff said.

Next, my last (probably not... grr Doc.) Vox concert. 'Twas alright. I fell asleep during one of the non-chorus parts. ^_^ (Yes, I was in front of the audience when this happened... But I was in the back.)

Ah yes, and APs. Rundown:
French - sucked like I knew it would, don't really care; expected score: 1 or 2 if I'm REALLY lucky.
Comp Sci - not as bad as I thought it'd be actually, not too bad; expected score: 2 or 3
Calc - not too bad; expected score: 4
Chem - eh, it was alright, parts of it went better'n others; expected score: 3 or 4 if I'm lucky. 

Overall, not too shabby I don't think.

And then prom.

Ah yes... Prom... Well, firstly, my date ended up being a set-up (I know I'm horribly opposed to those, but it was either take a chance with a set-up or play it safe and take a friend... And you all know chances are more my style lol)

So I suppose you all will be waiting to hear things such as "AWESOME!!" or "0mfg wh47 4 gr347 f***1ng n1gh7!!"

Well, too bad. It wasn't. It didn't completely suck, but it wasn't a blast either. *shrugs* Oh well. I took a gamble and lost, but I'm still glad I took the gamble. At least I tried. Besides, after prom was alright, and the day after prom was pretty awesome. After prom, Drew, Katie, and Lauren (my date) were set to come over to my house and hang out for a while, but Lauren wasn't feeling well, so we took her home. Then Drew, Katie and I watched Good Burger for a while before we had to take Katie home. After that, Drew slept over, and the next day Drew and I had Part 1 of our "Naruthon" (Naruto Marathon), which consisted of us watching 4-5 hours of fansubbed Naruto on Drew's laptop, which was hooked up to the TV.

It was pretty sweet. ^_^

And that's about it, I think. Like I said, boring. So next up on the list is graduation (and the kickass party that is to ensue... except Matt can't make it ) and Mainstage auditions (which are on the same night as the piano recital I mentioned in the last post, which means I don't have to go! Ha ha! ^_^). I still can't believe I'm not doing Children's Theater... It's so weird. lol

So that's all. Now go away.

Xanga-whores.

Well howdy ho everybody! Seeing as I've been requested more than once to update this thing (and seeing as it's been months since I have) I suppose it's time for a good ol' dose of Vince-life.

Joy.

So let's see... End of January huh? Well, obviously, Guys and Dolls has come and gone (pretty much in the time span between my posts too ) and I gotta say, it was a BLAST. I goofed up a couple of times on my big night (as I just discovered by watching the DVD) but overall I think I did a pretty-pretty good. ^_^

So what else...? ...Actually, that's all I can think of. Guys and Dolls pretty much WAS my life the last couple months. Didn't have time for much else. ('Cept the comic o'course) So now it's time for shout-outs to all my Guys and Dolls buddies (and don't be offended if I don't shout you out specifically, you were all my pals, I'm just doin' an off-the-top-of-my-head kinda deal. If you really feel you should be on this list, talk to me.

I'm not saying I'll do anything. But talk to me anyway. )

Drusuke, Char, Katie, Kel, Shannom, Shel, Grace, Sarah, and everyone else in the GAD cast... YOU ALL ROCK!! You all are truly, teh roxorz of teh soxorz. ^_^

So uh... Yeah... Oh yeah, and that Vox concert I was stuck in came and went around February, and I was able to get out of the last one. But now I'm stuck doin' one last concert, but it hasn't been so bad so far. Shel and Christina make it fun (we make faces at each other from across the room all during rehearsal... It's quite funnerificaful.)

Wow. That word turned out to be far more queer than I'd originally intended. ...Yeah...

Oh, and one more thing. Since there's no actual possibility that I'll post in this thing again before next week (unless under extreme circumstances, for whatever reason that would be) anybody who wants to hear me sing "This is the Moment" from Jekyll & Hyde (a kickass song from a kickass show) should come to Calasanctius Hall next Friday evening (the 28th for you lazy no-calander-looker-people) for Devon's Spring Concert (my last Devon concert/performance EVAR!! :'( :'( ...Well actually not really. I still have that gay-ass piano recital in June. Ugh.) because I'm going to KICK THAT SONG'S ASS!! (Disclaimer: Vuono Inc. is in no way responsible for your enjoyment of said song. Restrictions apply, see box for details.)  So come on down to Devon Prep for a rowdy good time! ^_^

And no, to anyone that may ask, I'm not going to the mixer on Saturday. I've got something more important to do. So ha. >:þ

Oh, and I still don't have a prom date. If you're interested the line's around the corner and up three blocks from here. *rolls eyes*

So, here we are again, with me being bored and posting in my Xanga when I should be making comics. But I figure I love all you guys enough to attempt to entertain you in your boring and pointless lives with details of my own boring and pointless life. Roll clips!

Well, things have been better. Remember when I said I had recently tried something but it failed so I thought I'd try something else when I got the chance? Well, I got the chance. It didn't fail so much as I got bored with it. God only knows why. *shrugs* So now, once again, I want to try something else, but, once again, don't know when I'll get the chance.

But hey, last time I said that I got the chance pretty much the next day. Though this situation is completely different, but that's entirely beside the point.

But yeah. I've been turning all emo and shit lately. That damn inferiority complex of mine has really been kicking in lately (and how) and it's getting really annoying. Remember that fake post I made around Thanksgiving? Well, it wasn't completely fake. I mean, it was fake in that I made it seem like I cared far more than I actually did, but it was basically the gist of things right then.

It has returned.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't inform you all of this to attempt to get pity. Nuh uh. I should hope you all know me better than that by now. I just figured, if this thing's supposed to be about my life, I should probably not blatantly lie on it. Especially considering the only people who ever read it are my friends (I think. Unless I have a Xanga stalker. Which would not be cool.

Except if it were a girl. And she were hot. And single. Then it'd be cool.)

ANYWAYS... Yeah... Oh, before I forget, Kel tagged me with some little mini-survey thingamabobber, so let's have a go at that, eh?

5 Guilty Pleasures
1) Texting people when I'm bored so they can entertain me
2) Making comics
3) Firing Blue Shells at people on the loop in Rainbow Road and knocking them off the
    loop
4) Killing jokes
5) Masturbating to porno sites

⌐_⌐  ¬_¬  ...What?!

Now, I should hope you all know me well enough to know that that last one was a joke, but just because I'm a paranoid son of a bitch and some of you might be idiots, I'm gonna make it clear here anyway. IT WAS A JOKE. I DON'T WANT ANY "Ew God Vince you masturbate WTF OMG!!1!" comments or anything like that.

Just throwin' that out there.

Now... Let's see... Oh! Midterms! They ended well and good enough:
English and Religion - A
Math - B+
French - C+ (which I don't care about since I hate French)
Chem - C (which isn't as bad as it seems cause it only counted as a test and I'd just gotten an A on the test before, so it balanced out)

So after all the smoke cleared, I ended up with a 4.25 for the 2nd quarter and a 4.26 for the semester. Cool stuff. 

And Pro-Life trip was Monday! This was probably the best pro-life trip ever. Ever. The end. So here're a few little quotes from it that hopefully will entertain you and leave you just slightly confused. Drew and Muchetti, these are for you:

- Breaking out into "We Will Rock You," "Bohemian Rhapsody," and "Doo Wah Diddy" 
  with Drew on the streets of DC.
- "The first one was okay... And the third one was okay... But the second one was a 
  bitch."
- *see 6-7 police cars drive under a tunnel underneath us* *look over to the other side
   of the tunnel to see only the ground* "...Where'd they go?"
- Singing "Moonlight Bay"... at least 3 times
- Cumquat Three-Headed Broadway Star
- Prank calling Kel, Shannom, and Matt
- Drew: Man, that guy's a jack-a!
  Me: WHAT?!
  Drew: That guy's a jack-a?
  Me: OH! I thought you said that guy was ejaculating!!
- "How is she your sister?"
  "...Because we have the same parents?"

So yeah. That was fun. lol

Well kids, your ol' Uncle Vinny can't think of anything more to say about himself, so he'll be taking his leave now.

And so will I.

H'okay, guess who's uber bored? lol, So let's see... Well, firstly, orange font! Yay! ^_^

Nextly, Merry Christmas/Happy New Year! Yay! ^_^

'Kay, that's done. Thirdly, the month of December... Ya-...Well... It was kinda boring... So no yay. lol But I'll write about it anyway.

First week of December... relatively uneventful other than what I said last time...
Second week... the Vox concerts came and went (all too slowly if you ask me :P) and were fine (thank the Lord above that the 3-hour death piece is finished! lol) and semi was fun too. Me, Gin, Drew, Katie, Kaytrosh, and Shel hung out and it was fun. lol
Third week: Nothin' really... played a lot of video games (first week of break, yeah!) And Shannoc's party was fun too. I chucked a foosball ball at John (Nawn) and it hit him in the head and it bounced back and I caught it and it was amazing but no one saw it :'(

And then Christmas. Christmas was good shit. I got all the video games I asked for (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario Kart DS, Shadow the Hedgehog, Donkey Kong Country 3, DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi) and a Game Boy Micro (which is ridiculously small and doesn't play any new games which is why I didn't ask for it but my parents got it for me anyway) and an iPod alarm clock thinger which is really uber cool and the Joseph and Spamalot CDs (I am now officially addicted to Spamalot). Plus some dough. I like dough.

But you all don't care about my stuff so fuck you all.

Another relatively uneventful week to bring December to an end. Then New Year's. New Year's was fun. Went to dinner with Jenna, the twins, and Jenna's friend Talia (and didn't eat of course :P) and then Jenna, Talia, and I went back to Talia's and hung out and played Smash Bros. and Mario Party and watched the South Park movie. lol, It was fun.

And then nothing interesting has happened for the last few days.

I've recently tried something again that I failed at last time but for some insane reason I thought I'd try again. But I failed again. But that's okay, because I have something new I'm interested in trying. I just don't know when I'm gonna get to try. *shrugs* Oh well.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, then I don't want you to. :P

Okay, I think that's all for me, so I leave you with my Bob the Penguin story (for those that haven't already seen it on Shannom's Xanga):

Zoru1988: one day bob the penguin looked around at his cold winter surroundings
Zoru1988: "hm... im bored" bob thought to himself
Zoru1988: it was then that he saw an oceanliner pass in front of him
Zoru1988: and on the side was a large poster advertising the show "death of a salesman... on ice!!"
Zoru1988: "oh wow!" thought bob "ive always wanted to see a broadway show!"
Zoru1988: and so bob decided to set sail for new york city
Zoru1988: he dove into the arctic water (in usual penguin fashion) and began to swim
Zoru1988: finally, after 10 long days of swimming, he reached the coast
Zoru1988: "oh boy! not much longer 'til broadway!"
Zoru1988: bob began humming "give my regards to broadway" while walking along
Zoru1988: but he noticed that he wasnt in a big city, but rather a dense jungle
Zoru1988: "hm... i never knew new york city had so many trees..." bob thought
Zoru1988: "oh! these must be those 'buildings' i heard so much about!"
Zoru1988: content with his explanation, bob continued waddling along
Zoru1988: suddenly, two tigers pounced in front of our monochrome hero
Zoru1988: "mm... fresh meat..." one of the tigers said, pouncing for bob
Zoru1988: bob quickly jumped out of the way, and tried to run, but found that he could only waddle
Zoru1988: he cowered in fear as his predators pounced towards him
Zoru1988: but suddenly, the tigers were blown away but a powerful kick
Zoru1988: bob opened his eyes (which had closed out of fear) to look at his savior, but he could only see the faint silhouette of a monkey before he fainted
Zoru1988: bob awoke several hours later just outside the jungle
Zoru1988: he saw many people partying in the streets, and wondered where he was and what was going on
Zoru1988: he waddled into town, saying many signs
Zoru1988: finally he saw one that said "mardi gras"
Zoru1988: "oh no! i must be in... RIO DE JANERO!!"
Zoru1988: bob waddled around in circles panicking
Zoru1988: "oh these kids always get drunk at mardi gras! especially here! and im nowhere NEAR new york!!"
Zoru1988: bob waddled some more, crying in fear, when a large net dropped on top of him
Zoru1988: before he knew it, he was stuffed in a crate and being carried off to the local port
Zoru1988: "oh no... its dark in here... im scared of the dark..."
Zoru1988: poor bob whispered to himself
Zoru1988: "they got u too, huh punk?"
Zoru1988: bob heard a voice behind him say
Zoru1988: he jumped in fear (or rather, he would have if the box he was in had allowed it)
Zoru1988: a small flame sparked from where the voice had came, revealing another penguin smoking a cigarette in the back of the crate
Zoru1988: this penguin had a scar over his left eye and across his stomach
Zoru1988: "oh... i didnt realize anyone else was here... who are you?"
Zoru1988: "names mac kid. whatre u in for?"
Zoru1988: "oh... well, i was trying to go to new york city to see "death of a salesman on ice" in new york city but i was captured in rio de janero and put in this crate"
Zoru1988: "death of a salesman, huh...?" mac muttered
Zoru1988: "on ice!" bob chimed in
Zoru1988: "well ill be a monkeys uncle... count me in kid, sounds fun."
Zoru1988: "ok! but..." bob stuttered
Zoru1988: "but what?" mac replied "well... were stuck in this crate, you see..." bob said, downtrodden
Zoru1988: "hmph. i been in worse situations than this" mac said as he lit his cigarette again
Zoru1988: "so how do we get out?"
Zoru1988: mac merely threw his lit cigarette on the ground, incinerating the entire crate
Zoru1988: "oh no! what are you doing?!" bob exclaimed in fear!
Zoru1988: "jump when i say, kid!" mac yelled through the flames
Zoru1988: "1... 2... 3!" mac yelled as both penguins jumped out of the flaming crate into the water below
Zoru1988: "we did it! mac, that was awesome!"
Zoru1988: "heh, no time for praise now, kid, we gots a show to see!"
Zoru1988: the two penguins began to swim towards the north, and they finally approached the peninsula that was florida
Zoru1988: "oh boy! mac look!"
Zoru1988: bob yelled in excitement
Zoru1988: "well ill be... kid, weve just reached florida. were in america!"
Zoru1988: "hooray!" bob said in excitement
Zoru1988: they swam towards the shore, deciding to take a train to new york
Zoru1988: but just before they reached the shore they were surrounded by a group of sharks
Zoru1988: "aaah!! sharks!! theyll eat us for sure!!" bob screamed in terror
Zoru1988: "augh... i hate t'admit it kid, but you might be right... i aint got no way outta this one..."
Zoru1988: the sharks closed in on their prey, when suddenly each was bopped on the head by a mysterious creature
Zoru1988: when the chaos settled down, the penguins looked up to see a monkey
Zoru1988: "a monkey?" mac asked, puzzled
Zoru1988: "what in the name of hullabut is a monkey doing out here in florida?!"
Zoru1988: "its you!" bob exclaimed
Zoru1988: "youre the monkey that saved me from those tigers before, arent u?!"
Zoru1988: "sure am" said the monkey
Zoru1988: "my names diddio, pleased t'meetcha!" diddio said with a grin only a monkey could deliver
Zoru1988: "oh thank you! thats twice now youve saved my life!" bob said graciously "is there anything i can do to repay you?!"
Zoru1988: "nah, dont worry about it" diddio said
Zoru1988: "well hey, y dont u come see death of a salesman with us?" mac asked
Zoru1988: diddio gasped "on ice?!"
Zoru1988: "yup!" bob replied
Zoru1988: "oh boy! ive been DYING to see that show, just DYING!! im in!"
Zoru1988: and so the penguins and diddio headed for the first train station they could find
Zoru1988: they boarded the train (with surprisingly little trouble for being two penguins and a monkey) and within a day they were in new york
Zoru1988: they walked through the city in awe at the scenery, finally making it to broadway
Zoru1988: they reached the ticket booth, but found that they were too small to reach it
Zoru1988: "oh no...!" bob said, dispairing
Zoru1988: "what will we do?!"
Zoru1988: "heh, u just listen to me kid" mac replied
Zoru1988: and so bob stood on macs shoulders, who stood on diddios, and spoke to the ticket clerk
Zoru1988: "three tickets for death of a salesman please!" bob requested happily
Zoru1988: "on ice?" asked the clerk
"yes sir!" bob replied
Zoru1988: "im sry... im afraid we only sell tickets to HUMANS here..." the clerk replied
Zoru1988: "what? oh... okay..." bob said, distraught
Zoru1988: he jumped off of bobs shoulders, and his friends came up to him, asking for their tickets
Zoru1988: but he had no tickets to give
Zoru1988: "hed only sell to humans, he said" bob told them
Zoru1988: "hmph. im close enough to being a human, THANK you..." diddio said, angry
Zoru1988: "now whatll we do...?" mac said...
Zoru1988: bob looked around, thinking how far he had come, only to be turned away
Zoru1988: it was then he noticed an old trenchcoat lying in the dumpster with a pair of broken sunglasses
Zoru1988: "thats it!" bob exclaimed
Zoru1988: they stacked up on each others shoulders again, putting on the trenchcoat and one of the sunglass lenses (after all, hes a penguin, one lens would be big enough to cover his entire face)
Zoru1988: they wobbled to the clerk once more, and requested their tickets
Zoru1988: "hm... i dunno... this seems kinda fishy..." the clerk said
Zoru1988: "oh, i guarentee u we are- ...er... i M 100% human" bob stuttered, giving a big grin
Zoru1988: "...ok" the clerk said, and gave them their tickets
Zoru1988: "huzzah!" the three exclaimed
Zoru1988: and so, the penguins and the monkey went in to see their beloved death of a salesman (on ice) and lived happily ever after
Zoru1988: the end
Zoru1988:

Hai-o, that's all I'm doin'.
