Eating apples with braces is like digging straight down in minecraft. >.> Now I have to see the dentist.

Great. JUST. Great.

MinecraftminecrafthouseyminecraftYAY!

Awesome, ain't it? xD Yes, I am building my legit house in Minecraft. Survival mode too, so I'll have to collect all the materials myself. IT'S GOING TO BE SO FUN!!! 8D I have the base down, but man, getting so much sandstone is painful. Not to mention for the carpet, it'll have to be shorn sheep. Lots and lots of naked sheep. And I have no clue what to do for the rooms I've painted... the movie room is a dark blue, but I couldn't find any lapis, and making it out of obsidian would be such a pain. But it'll be fun! If it really takes as long as I think it might, the project might extend into summer. That would be so. Awesome. I'll post pictures of my progress if I make any. Oh, and this view is from the back of my house. I have a basement. (And an attic.) (And two floors.) I'm going to need a lot of sandstone. -.-

If anyone has tips for getting sandstone fast, or a substitute for it, please speak up, preferably before half the house is done. =P I guess that's it for this. Chao! (If that's how you spell it...)

Real World Time

Wow. I just went on the first legit walk I've been on for a long time, and the first thing I did was walk twenty yards away from my house and laugh, then say "Real world. No blocks." Then I laughed a little more and took my walk. This rather disturbs me. 1. Because of the obvious. 2. Because I was talking to myself.

I think I might take another walk tomorrow. =D

Plans

Okay. Okay. It's too late today, I'm afraid mom will come down and rat me out again, but tomorrow I WILL do it. Yes. Yes I will. Yeah. Definitely. Tomorrow I WILL play a game of LoL.

Yeah.

I will.

Sure.

>.> Sure... 

201

Woah, that was my 200th post. ................Okay it's not really that exciting, just thought I'd mention it. ...........................bye.

Games and Strings

I have a really serious craving (can you use craving for games?) for some Zelda right now. I HAVE NO CLUE WHY. But I seriously want to play some Zelda right now, it's almost overwhelming. O_O ZELDA...................................

Also, yesterday I started a new world in Minecraft and I decided that I am going to duplicate my house... into Minecraft! =D I've got four stacks of uncut wood and like 3 stacks of cobble, not to mention a dozen golden ore blocks and a lot of iron. (not sure what I'll use that for though, in relation to building the house) And a full set of iron armor. I've never done this good before. O.o Ever. I also found redstone and saw diamond. Somewhere... And I found a dungeon of spiders. I guess this is pretty normal for minecraft players, but just not for me. ^_^

The only unfortunate thing here is that I still have not played what I might consider a 'successful' game of LoL yet. I was going to play today, but then Minecraft... lol, yeah. 'Nuff said. (I also had a recital today.)

OH. Let me rant about that. Haha, I broke a string!

     So, from the beginning. It was the DMTA, the Durham Music Teacher Association. Miss Florence wasn't too concerned with the competition, but she did say that it was at Duke, and so was pretty big. Apparently she didn't expect us to win too badly.
     Well, it seemed to be dragging behind in the schedule, so I was downstairs in the practice rooms and accidentally stayed there so long my mom had to call me and I rushed in there. Considering I had just run up from the practice rooms, I was pretty warmed up, but a little shocked, and idk, I kept on forgetting tidbits of my songs. O.o Nerves I guess. Then, in the last, really loud section, there was this sharp twang! and I paused for a split second- just long enough to think wth- and finished.
     The judge was laughing. He asked if I heard that, and I said yes. He also said it was impressive that I continued. (Yup, this is just going to be a bunch of showing off, your choice on whether or not to read. xD) Then, he talked briefly about this Russian kid who, apparently, at age 18, did about the same thing as me, and he acted as if he didn't notice at all (except he probably wasn't forgetting his song midway). Now, he's some great performer. I wasn't really sure what to do, so I just sat there and laughed with him... I think. Memory's not too clear. Then I played my second song, and my mind took a roadtrip in the wrong direction every time I contemplated how awkward it was that the note up there wasn't coming out right anymore. Also, I was trying a little to find out which note it was. But I couldn't tell, and I wasn't going to slow down and find out.
     Alicia says it was the high D. Which just reminds me how everyone after me had to play with a string broken. Which makes feel
     1. Crummy.
     2. Embarrassed.
     3. Awesome.
Don't ask, I have no clue.

Oops, I was supposed to not backspace, wasn't I?

lol, maybe next time.
