Ah Ah Ah Ah Stayin' Alive!

Yatasay people! I am currently playing yet another chess game. It's become somewhat of a ritual to play, or in my case so far, lose some rounds of chess every evening. I have learned that Brenten is an evil mastermind at the game, and could kill me at any moment no matter how I move. I've played more with Zach, who although has not lost a game to me yet, is fun to play with because I don't get the feeling he will kill me IN THREE MOVES just for the heck of it ;)). Yesterday was Abb's birthday! She's 9 now. BAM! She went with mom to drop Sam off at his Kindergarten class and to get doughnuts. And as we later found, to pick out all her birthday presents herself! lol. We abandoned the idea for a party in the park - it was a lil windy and Aimee was sick. SO they decided to have her party at the Ranch same day as airsoft. Not cool. I was less than pleased to say the least. Anyways my mom bought like 5 pizzas and we ate tons. Aunt Andrea and cousin Annajoy and grandpa Moore came to eat with us. Then we had root beer floats yumm! I actually didn't have one. I was too full of pizza... It was super funny - during dinner aunt Andrea got a phone call from uncle Brandon and his ringtone was Star Wars!! Today we did some school, as usual. I was a little tired - or perhaps bored of math, because I fell asleep on my math book! I was awoken by my mom announcing we should be leaving soon. It was then I realized - it was Tuesday! Thus meaning Lex and I were bringing something good for Legos. I ran into the kitchen and made some peanut butter cookies. Had to be the simplest recipe ever - seriously I got it off the back of the peanut butter container! They were actually kinda bland, considering the usual rich yuminess of peanut butter cookies. And we were off, over to music first. My performance, considering my potential performance at music today, was pitiful. Shameful. I passed nothing other than theory. Wow. Anyways afterwards Lex and I went over to the O'Neills'. The walk there is always so fun! We never get to walk in our neighborhood! When we got in front of their house Alexis and I executed a perfectly failed... I don't know what you'd call it! She was running, I was pretending to run and at the last minute I rushed up behind her, grabbed her shoulders in an attempt to jump in front of her, tripped over HER flip flop and thus caused us both to nearly faceplant and also managing to make her lose her flip flop!! The door flew open and Emily came out shouting "What was THAT??" Then Lex and I both started talking at the same time until EM hugged us and we all went and sat on the porch swing. Pause... Em: "Wanna play Imaginiff?" Us: "YEAH!" Lexie really wanted to play chess, so we went to the cupboard and got out two chess sets and Imaginiff. We played chess and Imaginiff - at the same time! Actually Emily was playing two chess games and Imaginiff all at once :D. We brought Em a peanut butter cookie. She doesn't like peanut butter. But she ate it! We listened to "Believer" over and over and over. And over. Mrs. O'Neill, Jeni, and Zach actually got home from suitability before we left! Zach ended up finnishing mine and Em's game for Em. And winning of course. We really had to go then though... and we did. We ate leftover pizza from last night on the way over and arrived almost on time for once. About three minutes late... Ben walked there! The Laws and Brenten showed up shortly after our arrival, apparently Derek and his mom had been sitting there awhile! Anyways as soon as Mrs. Fillmore came we began a very trying and interesting activity. We were each paired off and had our left hands tied together and had to do certain jobs... together... Lexie and Derek were a pair. Andrew and Brenten. And Ben and I. Robynn got off lol. Andrew and Brenten were really nuts! I'm convinced that one of them would've sustained injury had the grownups not been there and the tie was really stuck! Ben and I worked fairly well. Neither of us knew how to program though so that was a bit of a bump... We're learning. When I suggested everyone in our team should be learned in both the project and robot, knowing their way around each area should they choose to favor either I got that "Are you serious, you retard" look from Brenten. Greeeat. Always a pleasure to get that one. After Legos we ended up playing Ninja! YAY! I have been wanting to soo bad lately! We only played one game though and I am dying to play more!! Saturday Halie, Saturday, you'll get ur fill of Ninja. Ah. Happiness! lol. Em and Zach you better remember Imaginiff! I got two boxes of Hot Tamales so we can have some FUN with those!! Oh yeah! On second thought perhaps you should also bring your camera Em? lol, My mom's is broked and they'll probably have my grandma's at the birthday party... =P. Anyways I'm tired and I'm gonna try to win Em at chess now since Zach got off! Probably to no avail, but nonetheless!! I have to keep trying! Plus it's just so darn fun!! Mom had big spider troubles this evening. Practically went into hysterics over the big brown hairy looking thing she found in her room. She kept screaming for me until I came and it kept moving, all the while my mom was scared beyond belief, and I finally got the thing, under threat of being kicked out of the house for the night. Haha. Anyways that basically sums up my past two days - perhaps I should go for shorter blog entries every day instead of long every other day ones? Maybe. Anways back to chess! Laterz!!
