Recent updates

Well, the new laptop I've gotten isn't what it's cracked up to be. Fraps won't cooperate with me, when I use my mic it sucks, and it's just been really unappealing to me now. My dad tried to take it back Friday, but the owner didn't take it back, saying it would cost him money and stuff to take it back, but he'd help us out with the stuff we need. Quite frankly, I don't really want to talk to him.

But my dad took me by this place the day before to see this other laptop, and it's XP. It looked awesome. I had high hopes about it, and it also had ATI Raedon on it, which was the problem I was having with Fraps on this other crappy laptop. My dad's going to try and propose a trade with the guy, and, if so, I'll be making machinima again by next month. If not, well, I'll have to make due with the crappy one, I guess. but I'm not talking to that man. :P

I took the SATs! ...say wha?

Yup, I took the SATs yesterday! The actual one. Yup.

Now, I know what you may be thinking..
"How in the hell did a 12 year old 7th grader take THE SATs?!"
"Wow... nerd."

Well, I made a certain score on a test I took in 5th grade, and some Talent Search program gave me and a select group of other 7th graders the opportunity to take it!
It was a pretty hard test, but there were SOME easy parts. I barely finished the majority of them. XD It all lasted about four hours.

Christmas Break... over?! Already?!

Yeah, Christmas break is over. :( I've had quite a lot of fun, I have to say.

Though I have had some painful, yet some funny, moments. XD

1. On Christmas, we went to this house with tons of lights and decorations. They do it every year, and for many other holidays, and we always visit on Christmas. I was with my cousin in line to get hot chocolate, and she asked, "Hot or warm?". Me, being the usual "tough guy", said "hot". She warned me that it would burn, so I got a little scared, but I thought she was bluffing a bit. She handed me it and said, "If it's hot, I'll give it some cold water.". I took a sip and... GOD! MY TOUNGE BURNED! It felt weird for about two days following.

2. We went to my aunt's (on my dad's side) on Saturday, just to see them and spend Christmas with them. I played pool with my cousin Alex, and it was fun. Though, while playing, there was a tox box, WITH A LID, I might add, and I sat on it once, and the lid fucking slid upward, and I fell in. Being a dumbass, I sat on it again soon afterwards, and fell in. We told my cousin Josh about it, and he laughed so hard, by shaking, he spilt his Coke on his shorts in that area you don't want drinks to spill, if you know what I mean. lol.

When it was dark out, my cousins and I played hide and seek. I got hit on the head and it bled for about 15 minutes. I have a little scrape now.

That about sums up my vacation. Pretty wacky, huh?

What I got for Christmas

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long, I've been a little busy, and I forgot my my password, but I remembered now. XD

Anyways, as the tile states, here's the following things I've got for Christmas-

PokeMon Ranger: Shadows of Almia- This game is very fun, and actually pretty longer than the first. I actually recommend playing this game. But play the first PokeMon Ranger beforehand, if you can.

Yahtzee- Oh God... I used to love playing this game when I was little. Recently I've played my dad and I've whipped his ass 3 games outta 5.

A new wrist watch- I've needed a new one, so I saw this one at a store which looked really cool, and I got it!

NSMB Shirt- It looked cool, but after being washed, doesn't fit me anymore. X3

Super Mario Bros. Super Show DVD- No comment... except my dad thought it looked cool. XD

From my other relatives:
Sonic Unleashed
Blanket
Clothes
$10
And some shoes form my sister.


I wanted a laptop this Christmas, one reason being to focus on machinima again, and another being having a computer of my own. We originally planned on getting a laptop at Best Buy, a Vista one, which I was okay with, and they guy said he was going to configure it some or something.

On Saturday my dad went by this place called "Computer Laptop City", where the guy there has an XP laptop, which is still being worked on, and I'm getting it on Thursday!!!

Well, that's about it. XD
