Steven Tenlo, FNL, Airplanes, and Amazingness.
Ok, Now for a real update.
Let no one ever speak ill of Senior year. It’s done nothing but good things for me. Except for the few bad things. Damn you.
This time of year does wonderful things for me. It puts me in a chipper mood…almost all the time. Sure, I get hung up about something or other every once in a while, however I’m feeling pretty fine right now. I jump out of my house every day, arms open and proclaim “Yes, I am the greatest villain of all time!”
I’m always well rested. I’m always happy to be going to school! Since I started Plan: Get the hell out with as little exposure as possible. I’ve been fantastic. And to say the least, it’s working out pretty damn good. Recently, I won a poetry slam. …Who knew I did poetry?! Not me. Apparently I’m pretty ok at it. The prize for winning this slam? A large Almond Chocolate Bar. For those unaware, I’m very allergic to nuts.
FNL went up on Wednesday. It went fantastic. To date, It’s the most fun show I’ve ever been in. Partly because I got to play some characters that I really enjoyed, and because it was just a hilarious group of people. Constant laughter. I tried to write as much stuff as possible. A lot of my stuff got in, some wasn’t feasible, some they thought just wasn’t funny. Philisteins.
During FNL, I managed to accomplish a few things. Firstly, I’m furthering Mr. Tenlo’s reign. I managed to graffiti some graffitis (Defacing existing graffitis) with his name. I also managed to identify myself on our daily televised announcements as Steven Tenlo. Furthermore, Steven is even in the FNL program. It’s awesome.
Finally, I spent today at Pine Island, New York. It’s just outside of the New Jersey border. It’s kinda rural. My desintation was a Sod farm to fly my huge airplane. It weighs about 6 pounds, has a 55” wingspan, and fly’s REALLY fast (Think 50mph…) The propeller alone is 14 inches. Here it is just after take off.
Today, I had two flights with this beast. (Though, when it’s flying the only sound is a slight whistle emanating from the imperfections in the airframe.) I had two nearly perfect landings. The landings are especially hard because this thing is SOOO fast and it has to land that way. Essentially, I just kind of fly it near the ground and hope for the best.
All in all, things are good. I have more business than I can handle, and certainly more than my voicemail can handle. (Damn you verizon and your 20 voicemail message limit!) I’m also trying to prepare for prom. Damn you too prom. Up until about a year ago, when people said prom to me, I would think along the lines of E-Prom…. Dorky computer nerd stuff.
Rock on.
