Day 9 ~ Jess

The video didn't show up >.< Here it is. (Sorry! I told you I suck at blogging)
Day 9 and still no sign of life anywhere . . .

:) Today is Thursday. Nothing special about a Thursday. School was fine but the bus ride home was torture due to the bus drivers lack of a brain. Poor woman. I don't know why she chose to be a bus driver but it was the stupidest thing she has and will ever do in her entire life.

Earlier, when I got home, I did ALL my homework! Which is a big deal for me because I always put off half of it. Be proud whoever you are.

Any who! On to the journal task of the day! WOO! Today the Journal instructed me to THROW SOMETHING, A PENCIL, A BALL DIPPED IN PAINT. I didn't have a ball and didn't want to risk killing my friend by throwing a pencil so I threw a cap of some sort. Here's the video:



and heres a pic of the after shock:

Day 8 ~ Jess

Another day with the journal, another task, another blog.

Hi everyone, its Jess again. I apologize for the last blog because it came out VERY weird looking. There are way to many spaces between paragraphs and some misspelled words. Obviously I suck at blogging, haha, but Im doing it anyways because it is Nick's, Abel's and my senior year project.

Today was an ok day. I got to school and did my work. I took my Jane Eyre quiz (Jane Eyre is a good book, I suggest you read it if you haven't) and worked on my History IA and I also got the privilage of taking a math quiz today. It was on the subject of Linear Regression and Standard Deviation?? Does anyone know what that is, because I don't. I tried my hardest but unfortunately I think I bombed it . . .

After school I took a trip to the orthodontist so Mr. Sausage fingers could take a look at my chompers and decide if he would like to take them out of my mouth sometime this century or if he'd like to torture me for a while longer and just tell me to switch up the rubber band placement. He told me to switch up rubber band placement >.<>

I got home (before the bus got to the bus stop an hour after school was out!) and did my german homework. I spoke a little german to myself while working on the fill-in-the-blank questions and then I opened the Journal and flipped to my next task. Today the journal told me to

COLOR THIS ENTIRE PAGE
Here is my wonderful coloring job:

Day 6 and 7

Guys! Its Jess finally. I was supposed to be on here yesterday writing about my adventured with out journal but we had slight complications while trying to pass it along. But all is good now and FINALLY I can start my week with out dear journal of wreckingness.







Day 6 happened to be the first day of school (yesterday) and before I arrived on school grounds I was trying to use 'the Force" in some idiot kid who decided he wanted to put the window down on the bus and not put it up with I asked him, in a polite way, to put it up. He wouldn't . . . I was angry. The rest of the day went by kinda slowish fast. I went to classes, hung out with Nick and my sis at lunch, got a ride from my mom home, ate dinner, watched pregnant girl show, went to bed. OH! Nick played a dirty trick on me yesterday too! I was sitting on the couch journaless and he texted saying "guess what I got". I asked if it was the journal. "No, coffee =/" I responded with Aww >.< Nick texted back saying "Just kidding! I have the journal!" UGH! What a mean mean thing to do Nickolas!







Today, on day 7, I was passes our journal. :D YAY! I'm not even going to talk about my day because it's really not important and is much like Day 6 was (even the bus incident) Any who! I got the journal, looked through the pages Abel filled out the week he had our journal and then at lunch I completed my first task (Day 6 task)


TASK: Draw fat lines and thin pushing really hard with the pencil.
Here's the picture of my lines (I pressed hard, you just can't see it with the pic)












Later when I got home I took a shower and then went to the kitchen and showed my mom the year book I just got today even though I was supposed to get it last year >.< Leave it to our high school to order their year books all super duper late! (Oh, by the by, I look stupid in my year book pic! I'm all hardcore smiley.) After year book time I stuffed my face with my mummy's lemon chicken and in the words of Rachael Ray "YUM-O" Right as we speak (or as I type) I am working on Day 7 (todays) task.

TASK: This page if for hand prints or finger prints. Get them dirty then press down
(I was going to put my hands in some stuff other then ink but couldn't find anything else) Here's the pic of todays task--My hand is nice and inky now, it won't wash off!





Later Days!

[[just so ya know I'm not usually that wierd and all high pitched screamyish]]


Anyways, The 4th task was:

So yeah, I didn't have coffee at the time, so I decided to spill orange juice on it. That didn't show up too well, so then I decided to spill Dr. Pepper [[which worked a lil bit better]]
















And my last task was:

So I did that, but then I decided it looked to boring. So I made the holes look like baloons:P

Day Numero Dos - Abel

Well today was better :) My mom didn't have to wake me up, as soon as I got up I showered and got ready. After that it was off to school again so my sister can register this time. I couldn't believe how shy she was being, seriously! My sister, the one who got in trouble for talking too much in class was hiding behind me and hardly talking to her friends.

Anyways when we got home it was pretty boring. The power went out around eight something and my sister napped the whole time it was out. As for me I just lazed around listening to music on my phone and tweeted here and there.

After it came back on, we did our chores and all that crap. Basically another normal boring day til I decided it was time to fill in the next page of the journal.

I'm mad cause I got the most boring task you could ever possibly get.

What was today's request that the journal had for me?????


Yupp, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Leave page BLANK on purpose." Now if you remember how I didn't number a three on one of the pages???
Well this is why, page three I had to leave blank. Oh well, what can you do?

Sorry to waste your time everyone [[I think I sorta wasted my time even blogging about this]].

Well tommorow's should be better and more interesting hopefully :)

Come back tommorrow & let others know about our experiment thingee/ /blog
tweet about it & or post bullitens on myspace plus do whatever your supposed to do on facebook:P

Later,
-Abel

The First Day - Abel

"WARNING: During the procces of this book you will get dirty. You may find yourself covered in paint, or any other number of foreign substances. You will get wet. You may be asked to do things you question. You may greive for the perfect state that you found the book in. You may begin to see creative destruction everywhere. You may begin to live more recklessly."


"Instructions:
1. Carry this with you everywhere you go.
2. Follow the instructions on every page.
3. Order is not important.
4. Instructions are open to interpretaion.
5. Experiment (work against you better judgement)."


This is what the book states on the first few pages, fairly easy right???

Anyways, hey everyone it's Abel here. It's the first day with the journal [[finally, it was killing me all night!!!]]. I want to start off with how my day went, just to emphasize how boring it was and how anitcipated I was to start.

It started of TERRIBLEY!! My mom woke me and my sister up at 5:30 this morning because shcool starts next week for us and we usually wake up at that time, so she decided to start us off a week early. Of course I was cranky and didn't want to wake up, but I had no choice really. So I got up, sat up for like I don't know how long, heard my mom leave, and headed straight for the computer. If you see what time the first post was published, you'll know what I did this morning:P So blah blah blah the morning went on as usual an so did the afternoon, boring as usuall. Now I'm gonna skip forward to the book [[I'm getting bored already & I bet you are too so lets get to the good stuff]].



The first page I got to said in BIG letters: ADD YOUR OWN PAGE NUMBERS.
It also had an arrow pointing where to begin, which was the lower right hand corner.


I personally don't think this page counts considering how boring & easy that is. So I took it upon myself to number all the pages that I'd be doing this week [[and again I'm not counting this task as filling out a page just so everyone knows.]]

Here's the how I numbered them:


I just printed out random numbers and glued them to the pages:P Nothing special really.
[[if you noticed, there's no number three. You'll find out why tommorrow]].

Now on too the REAL task, which is on page 2.

The page says "Crack the Spine."
simple isn't it??? Remember how one of the instructions says "open to interpretation? Well here's I interpreted
the task:

See? I cracked a spine without breaking the book's spine >.<

Thanks for taking the time to check out the blog.

Btw, I'm suggesting a new rule. I think we should take a picture of the page we fill out every day and post it on the blog just as I did. That way everyone can see the task

Ok, that's it for today. Comeback tommorrow to see what the next task the journal has in store for me.

Bye, -Abel.
