Chores and shopping

Today was mom's and my day to do food shopping and yard work. We skipped Walmart and just did the food shopping because there was a lot to be done in the yard. It magically grew overnight >.< We mowed the lawn, weeded the flower beds, pulled vines off the walls, etc. Mom and I were both soaked from the heat. And all the time, Tom and Jack sat in the shade and watched us >.< Though, occasionally, the would run and grab a weed that I pulled and tossed, and run around the yard LOL ^_^

Harvest Moon

Tribal drums, and dancing ^_^ That's what tonight was about. Lee, Yvonne, Kyle, and myself were at the beach for the drum circle and the Harvest Moon was rising. It was awesome! Lee and Kyle watched as both, Yvonne and myself let ourselves go and dance ^_^ I'm so happy and hyper and my body feels so tired ^_^

Vampires

Tonight's movie theme is Vampires: Interview with a Vampire and Let the Right One In. We thought it appropriate with October around the corner and Halloween but a month away  ^_^ I think we'll be doing horror movies for the next few weeks ^_^

Grinding!

My zombie grinder is working perfectly ^_^ It worked the very first time too! Now, I have unlimited zombie meat with an occasional iron shovel, iron sword, iron helmet, or iron bar ^_^ What's cool is that once I understood the basic mechanics of its subsystems, it was a breeze to assemble ^_^ On a different note.

Lee's and my night tonight. I'm feeling the butterflies around Lee even more now. And just about when they're about to take control, something comes out of no where and crushes them, leaving only the feeling of knots in my tummy. I don't know what to do.

Slow night

Lee's working again o.o I have the night to myself. So, I'm sort of practicing my guitar and goofing around on  one of my Minecraft test worlds. I had some ideas and wanted to give them a test before I attempted them in one of my real worlds. One didn't work at all which is weird because it used to o.O The other did work but seemed more awkward than I had thought it would be. I probably need to fine tune it more. Back. Just refined it ^_^ It's a lava blade grinder ^_^

Helix Cavern

I took another area on the map after dance class last night: Helix Cavern. It was so easy. It was about as dangerous as running around on the surface at night. Actually no even that dangerous if you think about it. Now, there's another section there called Helix Depths. I stumbled up on it very early on and I think there's more wool and another book there. But it was filled with creeper spawners and I didn't want to deal with that at first. That'll be my next target along with finding the third intersection. I'll start planning tomorrow ^_^

True One Year Anniversary

Today, actually tonight, is Lee's and my true One Year Anniversary ^_^ Because tonight is a school night and Lee works with his dad, we couldn't celebrate it like we wanted to. But Saturday was perfect ^_^

My granddad was here tonight for turkey soup. Mom makes the best turkey soup ^_^ Anyway, granddad gave me a ride to where Lee was working after dinner and Lee and I at least got an hour of together time ^_^ Sure, we were working, but it was us together <3 ^_^ Afterwards, Lee's dad gave me a lift home ^_^  I'm Happy ^_^

Sand

I didn't expect to bring home this much sand, but apparently I did >.< At least it's not in places that it shouldn't biologically be >.< LOL Time to change my sheets and sweep my floor. I had a wonderful night last night, though ^_^

One year anniversary

On Monday, September 24th, it will be one year since Lee and I started talking ^_^ And since it falls on a Monday, we celebrated tonight ^_^ And by coincidence, today was the Autumn Equinox ^_^

Mom cooked up a turkey for dinner tonight and invited my granddad over. She let me invite Lee too ^_^ She didn't do it for our one year anniversary, she just did it because she found two turkeys in the deep freeze and needed to either cook them or toss them. We'll probably have another roast turkey next month. But anyway, she had granddad and Lee come early so we could make a run over to the new arts & crafts store. It was packed and it dwarfed Micheal's. We get through the front door and I'm all OMG! It was packed with people, but more importantly, it was packed with so much cool stuff! We were only looking, but I know I'll be back ^_^ We muck around for about an hour and then head home to finish making dinner: roast turkey, rolls, acorn squash, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy ^_^ For dessert with had ice cream ^_^ In the middle of dinner, the skies open up and dump tons of water on us >.<  Lee and I look at each other hoping the rain will stop before sunset. But it continued right up to a half an hour before sunset. After say 'bye' to my granddad and being reminded several times about my curfew by mom, Lee and I race down to the beach.

We thought the drum circle for tonight would have been cancelled because of the rain. Nope! It was still a go ^_^ And that's were Lee and I spent tonight until my curfew. Me dancing for just him and this time he knowing it ^_^ Or just cuddling and being together. I love him so much <3 ^_^

Movie night

'Tis that time of week again ^_^ Pizza and movies at my house with my closest friends ^_^ These are the friends that my mom trusts enough to allow to be in the house when she's not home ^_^

We're going to watch "The Hunger Games" again and then decide what else to watch afterwards. We were hoping that season 7 of Dr Who would be available. But, it isn't. Probably because it's still new in the UK >.<

Anyway, it's movie time! ^_^

New computer vs Apple stupidity

Back in July, my old computer's graphics card died. And because my computer was so old, we couldn't find a new card that was worth the money. So, mom and dad got me a new computer which blows away my old one ^_^ Anyway, I moved my important stuff from the old one to the new one and continued happily on my way with no problems. Until this morning. I plugged my iPad in to the new computer and iTunes pops up a message saying that my iPad was synced to a different iTunes library and asked if I want to erase it and sync with the new library. WTF? No! I don't want to lose all my stuff and have to set it all up again. So I cancelled out and googled my problem. Well, it's just not my problem. It appears tons of people have the same problem and that there is no solution but to wipe my iPad clean and sync with the new library. There are work arounds, but they fail most of the time. Those that succeed, only do so partially >.<

Sooooo, it looks like I need to backup iPad and start over from scratch, which isn't a bad thing. I will get rid of the cruft that I don't use on it and get back the space. But, still, it's the principle of the it all >.< Common Apple, get your head out of your butt and fix this BUG!

Quiet afternoon

Wednesday, I only have classes in the morning and I get out of school at noon. That gives me like three and a half hours of time to use before any of my friends are out of their classes. Quiet time if I want it ^_^

So, after a grilled chicken pita, chocolate chip cookie and milk for lunch, I headed home and took Tom and Jack running. It was beautiful out, though a little humid and warm. But it didn't matter because I was already sweaty. Afterwards, after cleaning up, I simply lounged around practicing my guitar until Yvonne came over. Basically, there isn't really much to tell since not much really happened. ^_^

Running and dance

That's an interesting combination. About an hour or so before my dance class tonight, I took Tom and Jack out running. Got home, showered, helped mom with dinner then got ready for dance class. After a couple of hours at dance class, my legs feel like noodles >.< The instructor added some different moves and steps. So I guess they ended up pushing my legs to the max ^_^ I still had a blast with Hannah ^_^

First sight

A year ago today was when I first saw Lee. He was playing guitar with the drummers and I had just begun learning to play guitar. So anyone that played caught my eye, and he held it, and still does <3 ^_^ Even when he took breaks and such, I kept my eye on him. Towards the end of the night, it seemed as though he was playing for me alone. Later, I found out that he was playing for me but that he didn't realize that I was the same age as him. He thought that I was like 9 or 10 >.< Anyway, it would be another week before we actually spoke.

Today, after History/homeroom, he gave me a ziplock baggy with some beach sand and a few shells in it. When I turned it over and around looking, there was also a guitar pick. He said that he thinks that it was the one he was using that night ^_^

Rainy shopping day

Sundays are our shopping day. Get up early, eat breakfast out, do the shopping, and come back home. Well, we got rained out. We were able to do the food shopping, but didn't get a chance to do anything else including the yard work or giving Tom and Jack a bath >.< Guess what we'll be doing next week?

Something's up

I just took Blast Arrow Castle with almost no problems what so ever o.o I have skeleton spawners for harvesting unlimited bones and arrows. There are still some areas that I have missed. I plan to return and loot those areas once I've finished some housekeeping tasks. Lots of skeleton spawners and I did hear a blaze. Skeletons are the problem because of their ranged attacks. Blazes are nothing if you have Fire Resistance ^_^ You just need to keep out of their melee range.

We All Float

Fell so easily today ^_^ It took me about 30 minutes to neutralize all the spawners, find the wool, and the Chapter book ^_^ It took another five minutes to secure the Victory Monument and surrounding chambers ^_^ So freaking easy ^_^ I'll anyone doing this map two hints: glowstone and never surface ^_^ You'll understand once you start playing ^_^

Movie night

Yup, it's that time again. Pizza and a movie marathon ^_^ Tonight, I'm joined by my sweety, Lee, my bestie, Yvonne, and my other bestie, Kyle ^_^ Kyle almost didn't make it tonight because of some argument going on in his home. He had no part in it, but was almost caught in the collateral damage. But he was able to escape tonight ^_^ I wish Alice would start coming back to movie nights here o.o

We watched a few episodes of South Park until we could decide on what movie to watch. We're currently watching Serenity ^_^ I so love the series that movie is from ^_^ And I think River is cute ^_^

Just a simple announcement

Boomer Castle in Vechz' Waking Up has fallen ^_^ I am now a proud owner of dyed wool, a blaze farm, and a ghast farm. What those farms mean is unlimited potions of fire resistance and regeneration ^_^

Tomorrow, I shall begin my assault on We All Float ^_^

Downtown with a sunset ^_^

Lee's and my night ^_^ We spent it downtown window shopping and listening to a live band in a bar. We weren't permitted in, obviously. However, the music desired freedom and slipped out to us ^_^ I was swaying to it and quietly realized that Lee was pressed up behind me swaying too. It felt so right and I wanted it to go on  forever. But even bands need a break. So Lee bought me a Sunday with toasted coconut sprinkled on it and we wandered to the beach. It was a beautiful sunset ^_^

Vechz is EVIL!

I've been playing on Vechz's latest map, "Waking Up" though it's more like dying >.< Vechz, if you don't happen to know, creates super hostile puzzle maps for Minecraft. Anyway, I'm still assaulting Boomer Castile. I have one more room to take out and then the wool is mine ^_^ But! This is a deadly room: catwalks above lava O.O Even with Potions of Fire Resistance, it's extremely dangerous. Way to many spawners and  most of those are creepers. There are ghast spawners too, but with fire resistance, I can almost totally ignore them. I was able to take out about half the normal spawners and put a row of torches out before I decided to call it quits for the night.

Postie Notes

I'm looking through my blog tonight and noticed I had several draft posts. So took a look at them. Apparently I've been using the blog to keep quick notes about things and saving them as drafts. What's bad, is they have no meaning anymore since they're old. So much for my own form of postie notes >.< lol

Lee's working tonight. He still annoys me by spending his money on me. But he still surprises me with his ambush gifts such as the rose petals in satchel. He got them from his mom's roses and snuck them in to my satchel so that when I pulled my iPad out they would spill all over ^_^ <3 He doesn't need to leave a note or card. I know they're from him. Though, he still does leave paper, musical notes when he wants me ^_^ <3 I love him so much <3 <3 <3

Quiet Monday

Another quiet Monday. Lee's working and it's raining. So I'm stuck home tonight o.o I finished what little I had that might be called "homework" hours ago. So, I'm here with my guitar trying to learn the blues lol ^_^ A perfect fit hehe ^_^ Of course it doesn't help that my background music is Industrial >.<

Rainy shopping day

It rained over night and threatened to do it all day too. In fact, I was out running with the dogs when I got caught in a downpour >.< We were soaked by the time we got home o.o Mom was not happy with the puddles of water leading to my room >.< lol

It was also our shopping day. Nothing new or unusual to report. Standard Walmart, grocery store thing under the threat of torrential down pours. Of course, once we finished everything we had to do outside, the sun came out >.<

Drums

Yvonne, Kyle and myself wandered down to the beach tonight to listen to the drum circle. Well, that's why they went. I went for that and because Lee and his family were there ^_^ I think Kyle also went to watch the girls dance ^_^ The rhythm is so intoxicating and primal, it's almost impossible to not dance ^_^ Not like Yvonne or I would not want to ^_^ So, we had a blast ^_^

Pizza, movies and practice

Pizza night! And movies. And guitar playing and practice ^_^ Lee's here tonight. Just Lee and my mom of course o.o lol It's intermission between movies. Lee's hunting for the next one while I'm supposed to be practicing my guitar. Obviously I'm posting here instead >.< LOL We're both stuffed with pizza and have finished two movies so far.

I really don't know why Lee hangs around. Most people would have bailed on me long ago if we spent Friday nights like this. Anyway, he calls: "I don't hear any music!" LOL

Park date

Lee had to work last night, but tonight is our night and we spent it down at the park just goofing around and being with each other <3 ^_^ He keeps asking me how my day was or what do I think of this or that and such. I feel special when I'm with him.

Lee's busy

His dad kidnapped him into helping out tonight o.o I'm kind of disappointed. But it happens from time to time. But his dad is very busy and needed him. So, I guess I'm going to go die on Vechz' map for awhile o.o

Dance class and Vechz

Tonight's dance class ended an hour earlier. In fact, from tonight on, they're all going to end at 8pm instead of 9pm. Apparently, most of the other people can't do the extra hour. Hannah was disappointed as well. Oh well, at least I got to spend an hour with Lee tonight before heading home ^_^

Vechz. The evil Minecraft map maker. I'm playing his latest creations: Waking Up (for 1.3.2) I would pick his most difficult map to dip my toe in. But! I'm doing kind of good. I've taken the Trees of Fun chamber as my second base and conquered the mushroom chamber. I have two of the mooshrooms in my base mooing as I type this ^_^ I've also take the main chambers of We All Float and Boomer Castle ^_^ I'm now formally assaulting the Castle proper ^_^

Labor Day Part 2

Yesterday, we did a cookout at my granddad's. Today, we did a cookout with Yvonne's family and later, I went over to Lee's for his family cookout ^_^

Yvonne's we had a BLAST! Her brothers brought out their dirt bikes and took Yvonne and me for rides around. Then, to our surprise, they let us take the motorcycles out by ourselves O.O Of course mom had to give her permission, which she did ^_^ Love you mom <3<3<3 After going over the safety and such, Yvonne and I each took a bike out. We were AWESOME! We were HYPED! It was a BLAST! Of course the ground we rode over was level and boring to most riders. But to Yvonne and me, YES!

At Lee's, it was a little more quieter. Yvonne and her brothers weren't there. But, Lee's family does party and they're musical ^_^ I think Lee was hoping it would be him and me for most of it. But Hannah had other ideas and tagged along with me almost everywhere ^_^ Eventually, we were able to lose Hannah (read "bribe") and slipped off on our own ^_^

Cookout ^_^

Instead of doing the Labor Day cookout tomorrow like most people do, we did ours today at my granddad's. I was able to bring Kyle and Yvonne with me, so I had more than enough things to do ^_^ Lee couldn't come because he needed to go with his family for the day o.o His family will be doing Labor Day tomorrow so I'll be able to spend it with him ^_^ Anyway, we all had a blast and pigged out ^_^

Beautiful night

Last night was the Blue Moon and Lee and I spent it at the beach ^_^ He came by my house and we did pizza with mom. Then we headed downtown and grabbed some nomnoms and took them to the beach. We were the until like 10:30pm just being together. While we don't do anything that you would call "fun" I really hated it ending and want to do it all over again o.o Afterwards, we came back to my house and de-sanded--you can't seem to go to the beach for a long time without sand finding its way into your clothes, shoes, and other places >.< We spent the rest of the night on the living room floor watching movies, talking and snuggling. ^_^
