<joel> 1. How many times have you truly been in love?
It's hard to say if I was or not, because once a relationship is over, I usually feel hurt and develop feelings of resentment... But I guess I do get "enchanted" or "into" a girl, and it feels really good so I guess I have.
2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?
I don't know if I've met the person that I've loved the most (excluding good friends or family) but if I did, it's just someone who really charmed me or made me feel good or special.
3. What qualities should a significant other have?
Well, I can never know - you can't force someone to have the perfect qualities that you love or if they do, for them to love you back. But ideally, a girl who has a crazy sense of humor, beautiful (inside or out), bold, relatively popular, and that's about it.
4. Have you ever broken someone's heart?
Yes, unfortunately. I regret it, but I can't turn back time.
5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?
Love is happiness. Happiness is what love should bring you above all, and not sexual satisfaction.

<joel> allright, so technically back-tracking from Wednesday - that day I had my Physics test, and that night I had Ju-Jutsu. I don't know which I disliked more. I did awfully on the test, and Ju-Jutsu was absolutely painful because of the preparation for the black belt test required for all of the Sempies (who are now all probably Senseis.) the point is, it wasn't the best of days. so anyway, then came Thursday, which I hoped would be a little bit better, and it kind of was. it was Ben's last day of preschool -sniff- so he was kind of sad, which was nice, I suppose - but then came Physics class again, but more importantly, the test results. when my name was called, my teacher frowned at me and said (this is translated, mind you) "Joel, this is at the bottom of the barrel. You really didn't understand much in this Chapter at all." I got a great big 37% on my test! but it only counts like 0.5% or 0.7% of our final result, so what do I care? lol - so yeah, then Thursday night, I went to the 'Boat with Entre Aide for some fun-filled bowling and pizza. everyone showed but Will (what a surprise) and Amanda wasn't working there for once! ah, well. it was fun - though someone changed my name to 'Gertrude' on the bowling screen... anyway, then came Friday. I think that morning we had to go to the theatre to talk about 'Les Prix Zénith', but I don't know if I'll be able to go or not. anyway, as soon as I got home, my mom wanted me to call Wendy's to see if they had made any decisions about hiring, and GUESS WHAT? I got a job!!! they said they'd love to 'have me on board,' so I was really happy about that, but this isn't really my first job... I already have a lot of commercial experience under my belt from 4 years of being a paper carrier, but this is kind of more of a 'real' job. anyway, the point is I'm pretty excited about it. ya'll gotta come drop by and see me this summer! so anyway, then I went to Frenchie's with my mom for some costumes for Peter Pan, and then we did a bit of shopping at Sobeys', where they had these 'Sundae' Smarties - holy sh!t they're good!!!! caramel, chocolate, vanilla, wildberry, strawberry, banana, raspberry sorbet and something else - but it was amazing, I really reccomend them. then yesterday (Saturday) morning, I went for a really good full 5-miler in under 45 minutes! that's honestly a first, I'm really satisfied with myself. (sideNOTE: Alicia's currently grounded for doing un-Christian things, and Mariel's out for her big Outdoor Persuits trip this weekend.) then in the afternoon, I went out to Ben's preschool graduation. even as a guy, I must say, it was really really cute. (yeah...) they all came down the stairs triumphantly as the graduation music played. a lot of the mothers were crying - it was a pretty touching moment. even MY mom was crying - but she said it was because she had a thought in the back of her head of me graduating 2 years down the road. the more I thought about it the more I thought it was really cool too - because graduations are insanely emotional. so then I was off with my family to get some paintballs for Thomas at Wal-Mart... oh joy... then we drove all the way the hell home to the wholesome West Side. then last night, since every person my age on the planet seemed to be living under a rock, I went to the Y to work out. I thought it was a productive use of my time... oh well... anyway, today's church and Interaction, and that's all for now - 'til later.
Bored in Saint John,
Would you like fries with that?
