Saturday:
We woke up and it was FREEZING cold outside! Literally- it was 18 degrees or so. We forced ourselves out of our sleeping bags, and ate a breakfast of bagels and hot chocolate. We all jumped into the van and drove up to the slopes, where we filled out paperwork for 20 minutes or so, then we received our ski gear and hit the slopes. Phillip and I skied together, and it was very fun. After that, we headed to the campsite, and Timothy stepped through some ice, getting his foot sopping wet.He spent most of the night sitting by the fire trying to dry his sock and his foot.
It’s that time again! A year has passed since I last went to the symphony. My dad found a couple of his blogging friends, and started talking with them for half an hour or so, but then we were told it was time to go in because it was about to start. We headed in and took our seat, near a couple of dad’s friends. They played music by Bach, and it seemed familiar. Probably because of all those movies with orchestras in it. It sounded like it would make good background music also, so I’m sure I’ve heard it before in some movie before. After they finished playing, we headed to the blogger’s reception, where we met the director and the soloist, plus dad got to converse with his blogging friends. There was wine and cheese, but I couldn’t have the wine, and I don’t like cheese, so I didn’t eat anything. I puked for some unknown reason towards the end, though I was in the bathroom so no one noticed. After that we left, and went home.
Today, most of the schools around us were closed because of the FREEZING weather, or were at least delayed, but we had to go anyway! It wouldn’t be so bad if everyone around us didn’t close…
I’ve been getting kind of bored lately. Whenever I decide I want to do something, I never end up doing it, because I’m always busy taking out the trash or something, or homework. It’s really annoying- plus mom and dad aren’t letting me have more then a half hour gaming each day because they think I’m addicted. They don’t even give me enough time to be addicted! I’m not saying I’m trying to get addicted, but even if I was, I wouldn’t be able to. What do they want me to do, play basketball? I’m horrible at it and I don’t like it. We don’t have a big enough area to play baseball, and when I play football, it’s never fun because my team always loses, and we never switch teams. Ben and Wyatt are practically addicted to airsoft now, and they ask me to play every day when what I really want to do is play on my computer. So every day it’s the same thing. I go to school, have homework, come home, Ben asks me to play airsoft, I have to do work, and then mom gives me a chore or two, usually garbage. Then I have to clean my room, because Evan goes insane with it whenever I clean it while I’m at school, and then it’s past seven so I can’t get on it. Sometimes the homework, chore, and cleaning my room gets replaced with babysitting Amy and Evan, but it’s still basically the same thing, over and over again! I wish we would get just one snow day, just one! Oh- did I mention that even though Mom and Dad say that games go off at eleven, they almost always say I can only have one hour??? Sometimes even half an hour!
> It’s Fall Break! A week of nothing but computers, airsoft, and biking!
At least that what I thought…
Computers: I got a C, three Bs, and three As on my report card. Because of that, I have no internet or gaming unless it’s educational until I pull that C up.
Airsoft:Ben is my only friend that lives in my neighborhood and owns an airsoft gun that isn’t broken. Sure, he has three or four, but 2 are broken. No- 5, I think. My friend Wyatt and Ayrton used to have gun each, and Wyatt also had a pistol. Aryton broke his rifle, and Wyatt REALLY broke his AK-47, and I actually don’t know what happened to his pistol. *sits in thought for a couple of seconds while typing this*
BIking:The good news is, my scout troop is going biking this weekend, and I’m going too. Bad news, My bike broke, or else I’d have rode it all over the neighborhood and played with my friends a whole lot.
My mom said that if I post, I’d get an hour of gaming. I eagerly accepted, and now here I am. And now here I am not.
(Pss! If any of you still read this, whoever you are, please put a comment on here! I feel kinda lonely…)
It really isn’t very nerdy. You create a character, go on a few adventures, level up, get stronger, and depending on your class, get some REALLY powerful spells. Some examples-
Fly
Wish
Fireball
Conjure food/water
Invisibility
Summon Monster
Hypnotism
Ventriloquism
Enlarge Person
Water Breathing
Teleport
Insanity
Plane Shift
Disentregrate
Time Stop
Wish (Has some limits, like you can’t wish yourself to level 100, but pretty much anything besides things that affect your character’s levels and skills, like you could make it extremely dark, or conjure magical darkness.)
Hi! I just got back from my scout troop’s trip to Shining Rock! On the morning we left, I rode in Mr. Blalock’s car, with Phillip, Matthew, and Liam. We first drove up to Camp Daniel Boone, where we had spent a week about 4 or 5 weeks ago. That was where we let one of the patrols start from, the oldest of course. Then we drove another couple miles until we reached an old parking lot, as close to Shining Rock as possible, for a car. (Without going off-road.) We took our packs, and split up, going on different paths, because there’s a law there that says in the Shining Rock Wilderness Area, you can’t travel in groups of more then 10. If you do, and a ranger catches you, they will give you a fine. We started hiking, and at first it was kind of uncomfortable, but you got used to it. We hiked over mountains on the seemingly endless trail. Then it started raining shortly after we paused for lunch. It was raining lightly at first, but then it started raining heavily. And more heavily, until it was an all-out downpour of rain. It was raining so hard, I almost wished I was home playing a videogame! When we got to camp, we purified our water, and set up our soaking tents and changed from our soaking clothes into very, very damp clothes. Later, when it had stopped raining, we came out and ate, then went to bed. Nothing really interesting happened on the way back, though in the morning before we left, we climbed up Shining Rock, a big rock made of granite in the mountains, that I’ve heard can be seen from space. Then we hiked back to the all of our cars and left for home.
This last week I went to a Scout camp for a week. It is called Camp Daniel Boone. I took the merit badges:
Archery- Finished
Leatherworking-Finished
Fishing-Only need to catch two different types of fish to complete.
First Aid-Finished
The food wasn’t very good, plus they pile it all together, not really caring if they put rice on top of your roast beef. (Half- cooked rice.) My campsite was about close to a mile away from the mess hall (which also happened to be where most of the badges took place.) The water was really cold, yet we still found a way to have fun- Jump into the stream! (It was colder then the lake.) After a couple of minutes, though, you start to get used to it. Meaning that you went numb. The stream ran all throughout camp, and you could often saw people fishing somewhere (mainly on the short stone bridge.) There was also a place called Boonesborough, which took about 40 minutes to get to, walking. It was mostly uphill too. (Grr!) But there they had lots of arts and crafts that you could do, and they had a tavern! It had chips, root beer, and cream soda. (All for a one time price of 19.95! Call now to get a %20 discount! 865-567-4200!) I bought a root beer. It was a brand I didn’t see much often, but it was pretty good.
>компютриst got this game a few days ago.It’s a good game, filled with almost all the characters from Nintendo. It’s got a cool storyline which your friend can play with you on. Or you could brawl with your friends in 4-player mode. Plus, if you’ve got more people then that, you can have a championship game in which you rotate playing. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
