Day 33.5; Sunday, July 19th

Going to start doing like highlight things. xD Going to pick the most interesting 3 things that happened during the day, and put them up top, and then continue to talk about them as they come up later.

Top three things that happened today. Ate pudding pie. Reverted Bren back to retro gaming. (GBA SP. xD) Hacked into my lovely cow's Gaia account by force.(By force = coercing!)

Began the day pretty early. When my parents came back home from wherever they had gone, I had to practice piano. :'B I was really brain dead and couldn't even walk straight, so playing piano was sorta hard. xD My dad said I was playing one part too loudly compared to the rest, and I agreed, but I didn't feel like practicing so I was a bad child and made a big deal out of it. D': Shammmme on me.

Managed to clean my room up a bit. I cleaned the dust off of a lot of things... But why did is there dust where I just cleaned it off today??? O_O; DD: This is horrible.

Anyways, after about a million hours of sitting around boredly, and my mum saying she didn't need any help, the people came over. ;D (For a while, my mum was cooking several things at once. Somehow, nothing got burnt. xD

My family cooked a huge amount of food. My dad and I were just standing around for a while, since my mum was like...nuuuu, I don't need that much help cooking! She needed some help cutting up Goliath the Fish though. xD There was no way to cook him without cutting him up a bit. (Did you notice he was cut? ;D) So my mum gave the cleaver to my dad, and he hacked at it. It sounded pretty scary from upstairs. Goliath was like...thicker than a person's arm. o_O; Everything was prepared well. ;D

I was busy fixing my hair when...Kat texted! So I turned quickly to go get the phone in the other room. And my hair spray went crashing into the sink. I saved some of it, but most of it coated the sink. o_O; And I dunno, it's not oil-based, but somehow the water wouldn't get it off. xD Had to open all the windows and doors to get the really strong smell out. I'm not too sad that it spilled. The spray part of the bottle was broken anyways. </3 I'll finish using this one, and then go use up the other stuff.

Do you usually forget what you're doing because you realise something else needs to be done too? D: Went upstairs to put my contacts in... it took me about 30 minutes until I finally remembered I needed to put them on. xD I was rushing into the basement to grab the pink napkins when Kat's family came, so we decided not to get them.

Kat's mum got trapped in the car. xDD She was holding the Viet food, so I guess she was being careful. It's like...really careful with the food, no arms to support you, and gotta keep the door open too! It's a difficult technique that probably needs quite a few years to perfect. So work on getting out of a car without hands while carrying fragile containers of food!

Everyone was wearing green, or white/grey. Kat's mum/my mum = white. My dad = grey. Everyone else = green. When Kat shouted out, hey we match, my mum asked if we planned it. xD Nope! We're just lucky like that.

I'm the milk lady. xD Meh, I drink water a lot. D: I think Kat thinks I'm so boring because of that. xD Everyone talked a lot about like foreign countries while we were eating. And how you get scammed a lot. xDD Poor Kat's dad got attacked by pretty girls. That make you comfortable! (And they stick their fingers in holes...such as the one in your shirt and take off the things you're wearing....such as your shoes.) And her poor dad almost bought a fake iPod. And then he accidentally bought stuff from the wrong person, because he thought that was the other person. xD Because all Chinese people look the same. (Chinese people are afraid to get violent towards foreigners, especially Americans, because we're generally bigger and stronger than your average frail little Chinese vender. >D Bwahahaha. Bring it!) Except they DO know kungfu sometimes. o_O;; Oh my. -runs away- DD: Nuuuuu don't hurt me with your excessively showy moves!! Kat laughed a lot. For no reason.

We ate dessert first. Something about adults talking just never keeps the kids interested. xD Bren was on the floor crawling around a long long time before we ate the delicious dessert of love and wonder.

Bren and I huggled dramatically with dramatic music playing in the background. xD Epic win, or what? ;D Kat started laughing, and she had to explain it for us to get it though.

It's pie, it's pudding, and it's whipped cream. ALL IN ONE. The pie crust was really crumbly~ Which made it sorta messy. xD Kat and I were trying to compare our height, since we were having some issues figuring out who should have which slice of pie. We fail. xD Sorta hard to compare height when you're sort of limited to how close you can get face to face though. o_O;; I ended up taking the one that was on its side. I'm pretty sure my piece and Kat's were exactly the same size though... ._.;; So really, it doesn't matter. xD Nommed on the yummy pie. </3 It went by way too quickly!

We were excused and went and played after putting all our plates in the sink. <3 First, Kat showed Bren the basement. xD He thought it was epic win since it's like a hotel room down there. We played extreme ping pong. Number of balls: 1...times twelve. How many paddles?: One or two each person. The ball just has to be bouncing for you to hit it. xD If it goes off the table, you gotta try to get it back on and keep playing. It was extreme. Got sorta hot. D: Put all the stuffs back and went upstairs to my room. <3 Hung out there for many many hours. It's a miracle that I keep Bren entertained. xD I just gave him my Gameboy Advance SP with Pokemon FireRed, and he was amused for who knows how many hours. Since I didn't play it often, I said he was free to borrow it for a while if he wanted, but then his mum said it was bad for his eyes and stuff. T^T; Poor boy. I was reading up some random stuff, and found this random verse, Matthew 3:11, which reminded me of the short mention Kat and I had about BURNING WITH THE HOLY FIRE on Gchat. xD (Went back into our chat and found her exact statements.) The original question prompt that began that thing was this: "So, what does it mean to be on fire for Christ?". If you looked up the verse, you'll notice "He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." You see, that's what it means to be on fire for Christ. xD Jk, I'm definitely not someone to take every single word literally. Or else I would think there used to be aliens, and that Jesus is a big loaf of bread. But not any bread. He is the bread of LIFE. Sounds yummy, doesn't it? xD

Kat and I were loling over journal entries, and goodness knows what else. xD Poor girl was sneezing like crazy. o_O;; And I wanted to stop saying Bless you after like the 20th sneeze, but it was a reflex. xD I was like...okay, I'll stop saying Bless you now. But I kept saying it every time she sneezed anyways! We were chatting with Mish. I was looking over Kat's shoulder when she logged into Gaia. xD That's why I knew where the one key I didn't know was. And voila! ;D I won. When I logged in I was like, OMG!!! -hugglehuggle- -drags her onto bed-. xD EPIC WIN. WOOT. But then she changed it to something weird. T^T;; Awwww.

I showed Bren my Runescape account, and wanted to give it to him and make sure it went into the bank, by going on two computers in my house, but he was too busy with Pokemon. :'B Bren took some pics of Kat and I with the camera. Tried zooming in and getting a pic of Kat's eyeball, but the truth is...every time I zoomed in and cilcked, it wouldn't take the pic. xD Either it hated Kat's eye, or it doesn't work when it's zoomed in that much. We thought it got warm after a while, so went downstairs to the basement like ninjas. We were laying on the bed and Kat was telling me about The Knowing. <3 Which I'm going to watch...eventually. o_O; I keep forgetting how long these journal entries take to write. Bren was being silly again. xD I got pushed off the bed a few times. -fail- He needed his perspective! D: So yeah, basically Kat told me all about The Knowing. xD When she said they took 2 kids from each region and stuff to the new planet to start over, it reminded me of Noah's ark. xDD I win. Angels in spaceships...hmm. I mean, wouldn't angels usually just spaceship the kids to Heaven, so they wouldn't have to die such a painful death like everyone else? o_O; I mean, I think Adam and Eve are enough people to take care of reproducing and populating the world up again, as they did so uber uber long ago, so those kids can just kick back and relax in Heaven or something, right? D: I dun wanna go to a different planet~! Everyone else got burned to death though... D': Poor them!!! T^T Saddd...I dunno if I need to watch that since I got like the whole movie in a 30 minute on the bed crash course? xD Filled with lots of gory details from Bren, of course. o_O; What's with little boys and loving things and people blowing up? xD We wanted to check the names of Harry/Ginny's children, so had to go to my bookshelf.

Went upstairs again, and just played around for a while after finding out the kids are named Lily, James, and Albus Severus. Poor kids... Vani called Kat, and I moo'd into the phone after a while. xD Before that, I was playing with the butterknife and making it look like I was getting stabbed through the hand. Bren thought it was pretty cool. xD Said goodbye to Vani and that I missed her~ That's all I said to her. xD Woot~! They spoke for a whole 12 minutes! It didn't feel like 12 minutes. o_O;; Flashed by really quickly. Kat's mum said they were going to leave at like...5. xD They left like 6:30 or something, I think.

Had a lovely time with them all. Was sad they left~ Wish they had stayed for dinner. xD Dinner was quiet. Just my family of 3 sitting at the big table, eating leftovers. </3 Was yummy food, even though it was even colder than before, and the springroll thingies were a bit soggy. xD Helped clean everything up, and then we went to the park for a walk.

My mum told me a lot of stories. <3 Was fun. My dad fished a little, but didn't catch anything. I think the timing was wrong to catch fishies. My mum told me about how she was born in like the 3 or so years when China's economy was really really bad, so no one had food, so she was really weak when she was a kid. And how her daddy planted flowers, tomatoes, eggplant, and lotsa other edible stuffs, and her mum had two ducks, they had lotsa chickens, and then goats. xD (My mum skipped a year of school to raise the goats and stuff.) So yeah, she was talking about how she grew up around doctors and nurses and people like that, and that's how she knew she wanted to go into something medical. [The oldest one of her sisters was like a doctor or something like that, so when the family had some illness, they would go to her to get at diagnosis and what medicine to get to be cured. And then they would go to the oldest bro's wife, the pharmasist, and ask if she could get them the medicine. xD Family connections make it very easy to do things~]

So yeah, talked a lot. ;D My mum says if I have something I really really want to do in my life, then I should pursue that. Problem is, I don't have anything. ._.; I wanna have fun and hang out with my buddies. Is that a good career choice?? I wish. :'B

Came home and...typed this. Over a period of two hours. -gasps- No, not really. I've been doing other things while typing, so probably only 30 minutes to an hour of typing?

MEH, movie will have to wait until tomorrow. o_O; I was NOT expecting to go out on a walk to spend time with my family, but I took the opportunity when it came. </3 So I'm sorry for not watching Taken today. (My mum watched Taken while she was in France. xD I think she mentioned it once.) I'll watch it tomorrow, really~! Since I have so much free time. When I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy, that's how it works. I'll sit down with a snack, or maybe just my lunch, and watch the movie when I wake up. <3 It will be absolutely dandy.
