Spring Break

I'm staying in Owensboro over spring break, like always.
But that's okay, I actually like staying at home. It'll give me time to catch up on my rest.

Well, here's what I'm planning to do over my spring break:
- sleep
- play video games
- go to Michelle's and play some more video games
- sleeeeep
- maybe go bike riding if I can find someone to go with
- spend some time over at my sister's house!
- sleeeeeeeeep
- do my homework, if I have any
- whatever else I can find to do

So, yup. That's what I'll be doing for the next week. Mostly sleeping.
Fun, fun!

March the 14th

I am disappointed in myself. Extremely disappointed.
I had been so excited for this day, and when it finally came...
I just wasn't as excited anymore.
In case you don't remember or didn't read any of my other blogs, March 14th was the day the Pokemon remakes came out.
Sure, I got the game as soon as I could get to the mall, and yeah I played it in the car on the way home with Alyssa. And yeah, it's a really good game. It's lived up to my expectations so far and hasn't really disappointed me at all.
I think I just wore myself out on Pokemon. I talked about it and talked about it (and prolly annoyed everybody I talked about it so much.)
And I dunno, my brain just kinda stopped being happy about it...

But I'm gonna play it. And I'm gonna beat it. And I'm gonna be happy about it! Especially since Spring break is just around the corner.

...which leads me to my next topic!

Judging a book by its cover!

Hmm, what to blog about... what to blog about...
Let's see......

Yesterday I watched a movie with Stephanie called the Secret of NIMH. I remember watching the sequel to it whenever I was little, but I didn't remember ever watching the first one. So we watched it!
It was made in 1982, but the animation was still really good (even better than the second one, in my opinion.)
And the story was really good too. The second one came out in 1998 and its plot was just as good, but the movie didn't really live up to it...if that makes sense. They could've made it a lot better if they edited some stuff out and reworded a couple of parts. It just didn't seem to flow like the first one did.

Anyway, here's what I'm trying to say: lots of people think that just because something is old, it sucks; if something is new, it's a lot better than the old stuff.

Well, right now I'm playing a video game (man, I feel like a nerd) and it was released in 1989. As you can imagine, the graphics aren't all that great. But it's one of the best games ever. It has a super-awesome story and a super-awesome script and a super-awesome everything. You learn to get over the graphics (which don't really bother me anyway) and love everything else about it!
And if people would just get over how old something is or how low-tech it looks and broaden their horizons, they'd become a lot more accepting of things, thus becoming a better person!


P.S.:
 (Ninten and Loid in Magicant! Also pictured is a Magicantean and Swimming Cat - MOTHER, 1989)
So yeah, that's the game I'm playing... I'm not very far in it, only got two out of the four main characters in my party. Just trainin up the dude in back (Loid) before I go after the third character! Haha. :B
Okay, done ranting about my MOTHER games. Gonna start writing another blog now.

Cards

I spent this past Saturday over at Alyssa's house, making cards for injured soldiers.
She had to make like. 50 of them. And it was just the two of us.
Yup, you can bet it took FOREVER.
Eventually though, Stephanie joined us, and we got done a lot quicker. Thank goodness!

At first, we weren't quite sure of what to say on the cards. Alyssa even googled what was usually inside of cards like these. On one card, I ended up just putting "GOOD JOB, SOLDIER" on the inside... I hope he still likes it.
I didn't realize how much effort we were putting into each card until after spending a couple hours at her house and only having around EIGHT cards.
When Stephanie got there, we had a little over half done. We stayed until around 11:30 at night and still had five cards to go. But Alyssa finished them before the due date, so it was all good!
When she told me that our cards were the best ones out of all the people's sent (or at least the ones with the most time spent on them), I was so proud.
We put lots of work into them, and I really hope they make a lot of people happy.

You see that big eagle stretched out in the middle? That's one of mine! (  .) (  .)

My laptop keeps restarting itself and I don't know why. Prolly from some sort of virus or something. I dunno.
I reallyyyy don't wanna take it to the help desk. But I guess that's what I'm gonna end up doing.
Anyways, right now I'm typing on Michelle's laptop, trying to get my blogs in for March!

Well, I find this pretty interesting, but everyone else may not....
On May 7th-9th, some guys are playing through the best game series ever (Earthbound/MOTHER series :B) for charity.
They're called the Speed Gamers and they're gonna try to finish playing the 3 games in the series in under 48 hourspppppppppppppppppp0 (<-- alyssa just fell on my keyboard cuz she found out one of our teachers wasn't black like she thought, haha). I think this is amazing. I can't imagine completing just ONE game in under 48 hours, but these guys are gonna be playing THREE. And they're all really awesome games.
Anyway, they'll be donating any money they get during the playthrough to the Susan G. Komen foundation, a group dedicated to fighting against breast cancer.
They have different marathons every few months or so, with different game series and they donate to different causes.
And since they're gonna be playing through my ALL-TIME FAVORITE game series, you can bet I'll be watching and (hopefully) donating.

First post for March

And it's the 24th.

There's a song that I'm in love with that most people don't seem to like when I play it for them.
I mean, no offense or anything, but I don't see how anyone could hate this song!
The singer has a sort of unusual voice, and I'll admit that I might have brushed it off after the first few seconds of listening to her... but if you know the lyrics, it really is one of the best songs ever. And you kinda forget about her singing voice (which isn't BAD, it's just nothing like what you'd hear on the radio) and you learn to sing along because, c'mon. How can you not?
How many songs today have positive messages? I mean, REALLY positive? Cause that's all this song is. It's just bursting with positivity. Every time I listen to it, I'm instantly optimistic about the rest of the day. I think "Everything's gonna be alright, cause I just listened to Pollyanna! Nothing can make me sad today!" which may sound kinda dumb, but I honestly don't know any other songs that I can say that about.

 Anyway... My absolute favorite part of the song would have to be this:
I believe there'll come a day
Maybe it will be tomorrow
When the bluebird flies away
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
(doesn't that just brighten your day? powerful stuff)
But yesterday I was riding home with Emily and she made me switch the song before it even got there! ;(
Oh well. I can't really convince people to like a song.
All I'm saying is that you should give this one a chance because it's a lot better than most songs out there.
