Friends leaving, Runescape, and Psychology

All my friends are either going to leave within a couple days or have already left. Jason is leaving on Monday (thankfully, he is only going for like a month or so), Jeremy and Melanie are leaving on Wednesday (Melanie should be back in a little over a year, I have no idea when I will next see Jeremy), Tim left a while ago and I have no idea when I will next see him, Graham and Abraham left last week (fortunately they will come back in a couple of months), and Adam and Noah also left last week (I will probably see them in a couple months). I think that covers all my friends who are leaving (incidentally that is ALL of them). This means I will probably be very bored, in fact I already am rather bored. Thankfully I can still keep in touch with Graham by blogging, but I don't know if I will be able to keep in touch with any of the others.

On a lighter note, I am going to become a runescape member tomorrow!! I have been waiting a long time to become one, and I finally feel that I have enough time and that I am a high enough level that is worth the five dollars a month it costs. The only downside to my becoming a member is that Justin will be joining my game.

I am learning cool stuff in psychology. Like, the other day I learned that in one of the 4 stages of sleeping, your eyes move rapidly back and forth. I previously had no idea I did this, but it sounds cool. I have also learned about the three parts of emotions, and what order they come in. Surprisingly enough, the same chapter about emotions told stuff about love and romantic relationships, which was amusing, mostly because I had no idea it could be divided into so many different types. Anyway, the psychology book I am using is cool and not too complicated for my poor mind to grasp (it is for dummies by the way).

A.D.

A.D. is a TV mini-series that my family is watching. It is very boring, there is almost no action, and most of what people do makes no sense whatsoever. The people who made it decided (for some unknown reason) to put 3 sub-plots, each of which is equally boring. It is also so Christian that i sometimes wonder if i am watching a TV show or the Jesus film. (it is like 10 years old). My parents claim that it will get more interesting and there will be like gladiator fighting and stuff, but it seems rather unlikely at this point. I strongly advise anybody who reads this not to watch it.

Mattress fighting

Mattress fighting is an awesome sport. Basically, you have a couple of people, and each of them is armed with a matress. They are allowed to use the mattress in two ways: attack and defense. The goal of the game is to knock the other contestants down as often as you can. You may only do this with the mattress, though you may ram the mattresses of other players if you wish. Because the mattress is quite heavy, it is actually quite effective for knocking people down with, especially if you ram them at high speeds. If two people happen to ram the same person at once, the results can be quite devastating.

I have played this twice with Keith and Justin. Unfortunately, we had to do it in Justin's room, because my dad was in the living room. It was still awesome fun, even though Keith and Justin had to form a team against me against me in order that they not be mashed against tables every other second. It was not entirely certain that Keith was actually completely devoted to his teaming with Justin, because he frequently caused Justin to fall over (he claimed it was accidental, but no one really believed him. Anyway, it was wicked fun, and it would be really cool to do it again in a bigger area with more people my size.

Finis

Today i am finally finished with school for the year! Well, actually i got so far behind in Arabic that i will be doing it ALL summer but besides that i am finished. I have downloaded a bunch of books off manybooks.net for the occasion, and henceforth i will be allowed to play an hour and a half on the computer every day (i'll have to earn it, but since i can do that by doing things i want to do, it is no big deal). Unfortunately, the end of the school year means most of my friends are leaving, and the only one who staying is Jason. At least i can still stay in touch with Graham by blogging. Blogging is so AWESOME! (even though i know virtually nothing about blogs)

Party and Broken Door

Today was cool. I went to Abraham's birthday party and we danced all night. Well, we didn't actually dance (or stay up all night), but we played ultimate frisbee a lot. We also watched the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and stayed up past midnight. We had a cool dinner of pizza, homemade by Mrs. Macullough, and it was incredible (except she had this habbit of putting mushrooms in it, which i did not really appreciate, but it was still amazingly good). After leaving the party at about 2 in the afternoon, i cam home and tried to open my door. It didn't open. For about 2 minutes i thought it was a joke that justin was playing on me. It wasn't. Apparently my mom had broken the lock of the door earlier that day, and the door was locked by a key we don't have. Daddy and Mr Biegel then spent 2 or 3 hours trying to fix it, using various means, including repeated kicks to the door and the liberal use of a drill (it took that long because my dad did not want to actually break the wood of the door). They mostly failed, and eventually had to break the lock by repeated kickings. It was most amusing, but was also rather annoying, because i had to get some school done, and it was in that room. So i had to play runescape instead. Speaking of Runescape, i discovered a very funny absurdity today about Mrs Hudson attempts at playing runescape. Most amusingly, she decided to become a member (and pay five dollars a month) for ONE reason. She decided she wanted more bank space. According to her, that was the ONLY reason she decided to become a member. She did mention that she was also taking advantage of some of the other "stuff." Jason, Keith and I have had a very good laugh over this. I think she probably needs some mental help! This was a cool day.

Funny Arabic Lesson

Today, my Arabic lesson was most amusing. I actually enjoyed it! Basically what we (the we is me, my mom, and Justin) were doing in it is reading from a book by Mr. Power about what to say in certain situations, and there were pictures along with the words. In one of the pictures it showed William Tell saying sorry for shooting his son through the head and missing the apple. All his son says is "what a pity"(in Arabic of course). The picture and words were supposed to be the things people say when an accident happens. There was another funny one of two men kissing with a heart over their heads. It looked very much like they were gay, even though it was supposed to be two friends greeting each other after a long period of not having seen each other. There were also a few other funny things, but they are not worth relating.

Finishing Biology!

Yay! i am going to finish my biology book in two more days! Thankfully, this last chapter has been a pretty easy one, so i am not so disgusted as usual with the workload, but i am still very thankful to be practically done. I won't finish the rest of my school for a week or so, so it will be cool to not have to do biology on those days.

Bouncy balls

I have recently become fascinated with bouncy balls. They are such fun to throw against walls. when i started playing with them the other day i only used one. Now however, i have progressed to two. i throw one, catch the other, throw that one, etc. it is good fun.

My life

my life is kind of boring right now. every day i do the same things. i get up, do school, read, play runescape, blog, read some more, then i go to sleep. (i also eat) however, on weekends, i do fun stuff like see friends and invent new rpgs and refine old ones. i really can't wait to finish school.
