Hey you guys. I'm feeling better, but I don't think I'm going back to school tomorrow. My mom said she wouldn't mind if I didn't think I was up to it, and honestly, since I can only talk in a whisper and then it still hurts the back of my mouth, I don't think I'm ready. My friend Rachael has apparently gotten some of my homework for me, she called me today, but since I can't talk. . . .ya' know. My brother filled me in on what he heard and really I just filled you in. I think I may send my brother over to her house tomorrow to get it for me. I hope that's okay Rachael. I really hope I didn't miss that much, even though I know I did. If I didn't miss much in Calculus, then I must not have been taking Calculus. One other thing happened today, as 7:00 pm rolled around, I turned on the TV to "The Screen Savers" as usual. I was surprised to find that Wil Wheaton was a guest on the show. If you don't know who Wil Wheaton is, allow me to fill you in. The main reason most of you probably know the name is because he played Wesley on "Star Trek: Next Generation" and as most of you know, I for sure knew that because of how incredibly geeky I am. Star Trek aside, the main reason this excited me is that he is the reason I blog. Whenever I was first considering blogging I stumbled upon a free blogging site known as Blogger, on the Blogger homepage, the first article was about this former actor Wil Wheaton who had gotten a three-book deal with his blog. Me, an aspiring writer, was intrigued by this concept, that by not really even trying, one could get a book deal with a blog. This new information pushed me onto the blogging bandwagon and that's where I've been ever since. Watching my inspiration talking about his books and his blog made me proud to be a blogger. He truly represents the blogging community gracefully and makes us seem like real people, who live our lives off the computer, and only recount it here. This was really a great day for me, I got to see my two idols, Kevin Rose and Wil Wheaton, and the same show. I only wish Kevin could of been the one interviewing Wil, maybe someday. . . . someday. Later Days.
