Long time no see.

Alot of things....

I went to saint john....That was pretty cool.....We were there for two weeks. We saw very little birds and wildlife since there isnt alot of that....We did however see alot of fish since the snorkling is good down there.

I'll post some pictures once I figure out how.

we hiked..Mostly me and dad, but sometime with the rest of the family.

we saw in the water manta rays, nurse sharks, turtles, parrot fish, puffer fish, Tuna, and many more.

And I got alot of pictures of them.

the first place we want wasnt too good...My mom disliked it because the beds were bad and the staff were rather sullen.

after a week we deceided to move to a more comfortable place. It was pretty cool.
We lived in cottages in bird walks. ( Above the ground bridges) and the food was good.

The cafe was pretty simple. You go up and order...Than you wait for the guy to yell out your name. ( That you had told the person before waiting)

Thinking of this I remebered a video.

Put this into tab and click go to see

The cafe was above the ground pretty high....We saw some good birdlife hurtling around there....

I'll describe more later with the pics but for now I'll talk about other stuff.

This weekend I want larping with a friend of my dads. ( Actully workmate but you get the idea.)
It was pretty cool.

Me and my friend Arlo started off as NPC's ( Non player characters.) We started off as Rats that were checking out the village where the PCS ( players characters) hang out between quests and such.

The village itself is pretty cool. There are two public buildings. The healers guild and the tavern.

The tavern has a huge picture of a ogre drow spider and such on the far wall. ( Homemade I think)

It full of mugs and such....It where the cook does his cooking.









The healers guild is where dead Pcs go to return to the living....I havent died a Pc death so I havent seen inside it. But it had a big sun on the outside....Kinda like Pelor in DND.









The rest were buildings made from other Pcs who wanted to make houses.




( You have to pay four hours of work in the village every month to pay for the rent...)









People who want to be regulers and own a house can make one. Must arent very big. The house are mostly one room. Maybe two in the biggers ones.









Their full of medivel style stuff.









And now back to the rats.









We entered the village like rats ( All but on four paws) And scuttled around. We were actully looking for a person but he wasnt there. He did however live in one of the houses, and had left his personel smell there.









Somehow ( Even though were undead) we could smell him. As we slowly started our way over there one of the female pcs was trying to talk to a rat. She was not having much succes. She was acting as if the rat was her pet but than a half orc ( Who I know from my soccer team.) Got bored and deceided that a dieased undead rat wasnt a good thing to have in his village.









He quickly killed and dispatched the rat..









The slaughter begin. All 4 rats were dispatched till only I was alive.









The marshel ( Out of game character who tells Npcs what too do. She/ he are the ones who run the quests) Told me to head towards the house where the guy we were looking for was living in.









I started forward when suddenly the Pcs surrended me and fice swords hit me at once.









I didnt hear the numbers they were shouting out cause of the ringing in my ears as I fall to the groung. In game I was dead, out of game I was stunned. ( Slight exergtion)









There was a seconed round but I didnt last very long...I was the first too go....







Than we want back to the npcs camp.







At the Npc camp the other Npcs were going to the village as huge bugs. ( They had big bug eyes on their forhead)







The Npc camp was one large building....Not huge but enough to fit six people comfortably in it..







One wall is full of weapons, the other had costumes. I got a rather basic costume with a torso and pants.....







Than when the bugs returned we become undead zombies.







We all dressed up in mask's.







Than we wat into the woods.







One of us was choosen to be a fey ( elf like creature) who was a the fashion advicer to the key king/queen. She was too get the Pcs to go on a quest to get dancing mushrooms in the restless graves...







So we were already there.....We were hiding the meadow... ( Or ingame in the ground hiding)







Finally the Pcs arrived. We were start getting up once they started to play music ( The sage..One of the owners, was playing a flute.) When he begin to play the flute the mushroom would dancem, and we would get up.





( Mushroom dancing is actully a guy with a muhroom tied by a string to a stick....Than twirling it around till somebody catches it.)





Theres not a whole lot to say on this quest....We mustly died, and than we had too move to the next mushroom place





The only thing worth talking about is the second to last round. We almost killed the sage...We had him surrended but he managed to run away.



At last that quest was over so we want back to Npc camp.



Than we put on grey make up. We toke two short weapons and begin earth elemantels.. ( Didnt spell that right...Oh well)



First we sent a really powerful guy to try and drain a stone that had power that could buff up our leader who was a gnome.



He was draining the stone in the middle of the village....The pcs must of thought that it wasnt a good idea to lt him drain te stone so they kept knocking his sword away from the stone ( whicj kept him from draining it) Suddenly as the knocked the sword away for the fourth time he struck out yelling "SUNDER SUNDER!!"( Which means breaking the sword that hits the weapon.)



They now had two useless weapons.....But the other Pcs killed him after that.



Seeing that sending one great powerful guy didnt work the gnome sent us all to distract them while he drained the stone.



There was a fight but we all died....The gnome drained the stone which made him very powerful.....I guess the stone had some kind of power that connected to him or something.



Now for some reason he had a grudge against a martiel arts monk. Someting about not being allowed into his order or something...And the monk ( Who was a Npc) was in the village.....So the Gnome gather more of us and want over to challange the monk to a duel.

The dual was nothing great....The monk had a staff and they fought....The monk lost and was getting the crud beaten out of him when the pcs attacked.....

It was a long fight but the Pcs won....


After that I left for soccer....The next day I came back and played a little more..

( I was a Npc guard for the pcs)

Nothing too great....a fight with a siren and some undead, and than some goblins.


I lost all my soccer games that weekend...........

I'll write about or trip to saint john later......

Bye.

The lolling Areeee...

Cant think of a name

Lets see.... Things have been going on for this weekend that I feel that I should blog about.
First thing was that we had a car crash on friday. We were going down a road till we hit a crosssection were soeone ran a stop sign. Wether it was because it was snowing or that she just did run the stop sign I dont know.

Dad did some smooth driving around her.. I saw her car which we almost hit.

" O boy...." Said Dad.

We manage to get around but it wasnt over yet.

" Oh ****" My dad said. ( GASP! censured swearing) We than ran into a ditch.

We got out... No one was hurt. The lady stepped out... she was asain.
There was a swepping of enformation.

She than left......( leaving the scene....BADDDDD!!!)

We waited a hour and a helf for a trowtruck to come... We could still drive it but the platting had been damaged....


suterday we had the maple fest which is about maple suger....
We were part of the progrem and we made tea using maple sap... black birch( teste like rootbeer) and sumac( taste like lemon)

It was pretty good and sweet.

And now on sunday I had my soccer games

I have two teams... T burg and the lasers.

My T burg team is mostly my friend playing soccer in the rink
( The rink is where you go to play in the winter time.)

We always get kicked because were not very good. We dont pass enough most of us are slow and not aggresive enough.

Am one ( If not the most) best player on the team. I manage to run down the field in the last minute of the game to score. I dont remeber the score but we lost... I play defence for that team.

Lasers are another story.... we were kicking butt on the league we were on so we want up a league.... we lost every game so far but the diffrence between the teams is easy.
We pass we play aggrasively and were faster.

Am also still the fastest player on that team

We lost today 3-2. But we played well. There this kid called andrew and his really good... He does most of our goals... He did one and I score the other... we are a pretty good team togather. ( Or so I think)

Last last game we scored in the last five minute to almost a tie.

The score before the minutes had been 3-8

after wards it was 8-9

I score two and andrew scored alot.

Our coach is a big help... His name is le mera ( I think thats how its spelled)
He is very inspiring.....
I quote. " Do not be afraid to knock them on there ***" and " Dont be afraid to bully those little kids I do it."

bully meaning being aggrasivly playing.

Anywhy he xan tell you what your doing wrong and still make your morale high.... Its very importent to have a good coach.



That all f, f, folks.

A true birthday moment.

My birthday moment was a two days ago...

My friends ( Arlo, Aiden,Troy.) And my brothers ( Who may I add were not allowed to annoy us all night but did anywhy) Were preparing the cake.

It was a ice cream cake.. So it was hard to cut.

It all started with the lack of parents around during my birthday sleepover. First we had to find a candle's... We couldnt find the birthday cake candle's... Finally we used this huge candle which troy lifted to face level.

Next came getting the candle lighted... We had a lighter...

So Jonah tried to get it working... First he had to get the safety switch off.
So Jonah tackled it with grim determination. I hold my breath hoping it doesnt go on when Jonah is ready for it... My friends getting impatient tried to help him get on.

Great now I have 4 sets of fingers that hopefully wont get burned off.

Finally it turns on.. ( With no need to go to the emergancy room...) And we light the candle.

So now while holding the candle Troy starts up the singing. It ended up badly offtune... Luckly my mom and dad didnt hear it. Finally it end's and I blow out the candle.

Now to the cake... Yummy yummy cake..

Grabbing a huge butcher knife we begin the hacking of the cake.

First I started... I couldnt get it far because the cake was frozen.
The knife was handed to Jonah.. Than to Arlo Who his the biggest and strongest among us.

FINALLY the cake gets cut... and we eat frozn cake... Big whoopy doo.

And than we played Halo and Magic the gathering all night..

Thats a true birthday moment...

From Your ever finger cutting friend.

Ice skating. The truth behind it.

Ice skating is very nice....Most of the time. There are minor slips.

I want too a friends party at ice skating. Alot of people were there.

It all started nicely. Friends were talking to each other. I was skating alone cause thats the way I skate.

Starting the chaos was this crazy annoying but funny kid called Brendon.
( I think I spelled that right.)

We shall call him Brendon 1

He was annoying Jonah ( my brother if you didnt know) Something about telling Jonah that his was quote " His own girlfriend" ( Jonah has long hair)

To make a long story short Jonah chased him around trying to hurt him.

Luckly peace was made. Brendon 1 than look in the arcade game that has the hook and you tried to get the prizes like stuffed animels.
He than want around telling us that pooky was GONE!
( I later found out pooky was a Teddy/ elephant that he had his eye on for weeks.) As he bitterly accused us of taking him.
He want on accusing us.

Soon we were forced to play " Pass the annoying parasite To somebody else"

Rules are simple. Tell brendon 1 that somebody else has token his pooky and hope nobody would send him to you.
He after while want back to the video game. He actully won something.
And it was a green pooky. He than want around showing us his great green pooky.
It was annoying. But we than had a arguement with the skate guard. Aiden and him were fighting finally aiden sprayed him.
(sprayed is a term where a person uses his skate brakes to spray someone with snow)

So the guard placed him on the wall and told him to get sprayed like a man. So he than want around the ring and came in really fast and sprayed him. The snow want all the way up to his knee.
(usally it goes up to somebodys foot.)
We were all get annoyed and Brandon. We were thinking about stealing pooky just too see his reaction.

The task fall to me being the kind of guy somebody trusts ( and overlook if im quite)

He was messing with the arcade games. when placed pooky on a bench.
I sneak pooky into my shirt and than fled with all hast to the ice.

I give pooky over to aiden. Eventully Brendon 1 found out and seeked out his pooky.

Soon it hightailed into a monkey in the middle, game with pooky being the ball.
eventully the skate guard toke him away and was to return after the party
I didnt know that it was going to be returned so I felt a little guilty until I found out.

Than Aiden got into a dissing contest with the guard.
He insults were fatty, butt something.
Pretty bad insults. The guard dissed him out. ( He wasnt that good either but hey, Any insult was better than what Aiden was saying.)

Than there was minor snowball fights. They were scraping up the ice/snow and throwing it at eachother.

Troy bomboarded the booths with a quick volly of snowballs.

Aiden manage to declare war with the guard. Some of his friends helped.
I felt pity for the outnumber guard so I grabbed some snowballs and give it to him.

Finally we had cake. Mmmmm.
15 kids with caked induced suger rush....Scary.

We also had pizza cider and chips... There was this really good chips.

So yea thats about it.

(usally the skate rink isnt like that. Its a very strict ruled place, but we were the only people there and it was late at night and the guard was a goofball)

Whoah..... Two updates in two days.. Thats a world record for me.

BORN TO BE WIIILLLLDDDD DEE DUU DEE D.
That song has been in my head for two hours now.
I want sledding at rice hill today.

Rice hill is very long and bumby, it's very good to sled with.
Also my godfather Jim came yesterday.
His a school teacher. That's all I can think to say.

Any why back to sledding, My homeschooling friend's were there.
( Aiden, Sam, Arno, Troy, and others.)

and we had a epic battle on the sleds.

Basic idea was to knock someone off there sled's and take it for yourself's
Knocking someone off was a very rare, people would often board a persons sled and be unable to knock him off.

I often want team with Arno since he had a good sled.

I never manage to knock some off. :(

We came back to the house, etc, etc , etc.


I heard epic movie was bad so am not going to watch it in theatres.
We watch some shakespear with a mixture of boomboxing.
It was boombox bard I think.
It was playing down at cornell.
They had these very cool guy who could make really good rapping sounds. He wore a yellow sweater.

there were two others but they werent as good.

The whole played used shakespear lines to make there own kinda story....It was very confusing.

I am doing a play on shakespear too.
Its about these kids who go in a haunted creepy house and get locked into a book of shakespear.
So everytime they put on a hat or something they get turned into a shakespear charecter.

I might post the script.

That all for now.

Areeee god of sleds
