Character Information
Zach is an 18-years-old "coin-operated boy" from Odessa, Texas, US; according to the website. "He" writes about himself:
| I'm a sophomore at Union Wells High, in lovely Odessa, Texas. That was sarcastic, unless you associate wasteland with loveliness. |
He would like to meet:
| Unfortunately it's hard to find really cool people in this town. So I've had to limit who I let into my social circle. I'm very selective. That was sarcastic too... I'm friends with this one girl. We go way back. She's probably the coolest person you could ever know. |

Hey Zach, do you still have that video camera? I think I remember you had one for that class project you did in History Class last Spring? Let me know, thanks.

San Diego
Current mood: exhausted
I know the Summer is supposed to be for lying by the pool and taking it easy, but the last few weeks have been crazy. I had the chance to go to Comic Con in San Diego which was a blast. There were a bunch of people dressed up in crazy costumes and sneak previews for some new movies and tv shows, as well as all my favorite comic book writers and artists of course. Overall San Diego is a cool city, everyone seems nice and minds their own business, it's a little different than Odessa, let me tell you.
Anyway, the plan now is to take it easy and rest up before school starts. Maybe just shoot some stuff with my camera and see where the wind takes me.

Yeah, I'd like to borrow it after school, but maybe if you are free you could help me use it because I'm not sure I know how.

Lost a Mini DV tape
Current mood: worried
Okay, so I'm totally trying not to go insane right now (and failing miserably) :(. I lost a mini DV tape full of special effects stuff that I've been working on for a class project. Ms. Rogers is totally going to freak if I don't turn it on time.
I don't know what happened, I know I put it in my backpack, and then the next time I looked it was just GONE. It's got some really important stuff on there so if anyone can help, please please please let me know!
It may be at school, the last time I remember having it was at the train tracks when that train derailed the other day, so it could be there too. If anyone has any information there'll be no questions asked, I promise. I just need it back, BAD!

Hey! Have you been avoiding me? You looked nervous all day today. Hope everything is cool and your not getting freaked out about what happened with the railroad thing and um...before that. Maybe I could use your camera again next week?

Bears Game
Current mood: complacent
The Union Wells Wildcats (my "lovely" school) take on the Bears this week. It's an away game but everyone is going because it's a huge rivalry and all that. I can't say I'm a huge football fan or anything but I guess I'll go, mostly to support Claire.
Our football team is practically worshiped which is fine if you go for that sort of thing, but it just sucks because a lot of the players let it go to their head and think they're invincible or something. Brody Mitchum, the quarterback, walks around like he owns the place. I honestly don't know why Claire gives him the time of day. From what I've seen and heard, he's a complete jerk. But enough bitching, I still gotta find that tape!

Brody & Claire
Current mood: annoyed
So we won the game, once again thanks to the heroics of Brody Mitchum. While that crowd totally isn't my thing (ie. i'm a constant target for cheerleader hazing pranks), I do have to admit it that I wouldn't mind if I was there, even if just to see a certain someone...
Girls like Brody because he's the quarterback, duh! But even girls that aren't into football are still into him, probably just because he's quintessential cool. He even has bad-ass car, people sure would like him less if something happened to that car... hmmm now i'm feeling mischievous...

Just another day in dullsville
I heard Brody's car got smashed up, hit a wall, that's about all I know since I'm not exactly on the school's social must-call list. I feel bad for saying what I did about his car, I hope he's okay.
I'm listening to this awesome song called "I don't like Mondays" by Tori Amos. It's actually a cover of a Boomtown Rats song from a while ago. I like that version better, but can't find it right now... I think there must be some kind of black-hole-object-sucking vortex forming in my room. Anyone else have that problem or is it just me?

Blogs are where the truth goes
Current mood: cheerful
Blogs are supposed to be where people tell the truth about themselves, without caring what people think... but I bet most of us just put what we want people to see. So, in the interest of being different, here goes with some real truth... my big secret admission is....... I'm super excited that I now have over 1000 friends!
I know I'm not supposed to care about that sort of thing, but sometimes I can't help it. Anyway, thanks to all my friends out there, especially those of you who post comments and messages, I do try to read them all. In quick summary: Yes the Dresden Dolls rock. Penny-Arcade is great. Odessa has its moments, I don't see too many film crews here though, I think they probably do that stuff in or near Los Angeles.
Thanks for being great friends, be sure and think about me Monday night.(don't forget!).
