Volleyball Wilson gave Tom Hanks additional chances in Castaway as my dad snored during our Family Reunion, Christmas 2000, as we were all at the Safeway cinema near our home, 163. my elbow snubbed my dad to awake him a few times during the movie, especially as the plane was crashing. This was the last movie we watched as a family, as in all six of us. In the year 2000, I turned fifteen years old, went on a church trip to Idaho, went to camp in California (WCC). Started FGHS.

"Hey Arnold," people said to me since my first days in high school in September 2000 and that was mostly in my Basic Metals class (period 1 at 7:55 AM every A day at FGHS) with Mr. Lee where we learned welding my first semester in my freshman year, as in 9th grade, my 2000 - 2001 school year. We saw the Arnold cartoon sometimes before the beginning of class. Sometimes, we saw Jennifer Lopez and her big butt. Guys tried to get me to talk about women and sex. I resisted & acted shy. I was pretty shy, too. Teacher Lee was a white 40 year old bearded lumber jack man whom came to class late sometimes due to drinking problems or whatever. He told blond jokes and maybe a few other jokes, too. He told me to concentrate more on him during class when I was doodling, multitasking, doing homework, writing, and whatever. I've done this many times. I've been distracted too much in my life. Also, at the same time, more importantly, I've appeared distracted and stuff. People told me not to look so distracted in college and in Hawaii as well. Around this time, we had cable at home as well for a few years, on and off around 1997 to 2002 or so, around those five years as I transitioned into public school for the first time and as Rick and Katie moved out of the house. Cable was an interesting part of my life. Later on, internet became even bigger in my life as I'm online all the time and not on cable.

Since September 2000, I was Arnold or the football head. My Hey Arnold nickname came from the Arnold cartoon which was spotted by others in my welding class, my first A Day class of the day. I did like Savannah Montoya. Later, I knew her brother, Joel. There were a lot girls I liked in high school, beyond her, like Marci Renes, Salena Willner, Kari or Keri Herinckx, Amy Espinoza, Talia Hess, Katie Dober, and I probably have diaries and yearbooks and blogs and videos and photos with more names, perhaps. I'll probably add more, later. This is what I got for the moment from the top of my head.
