Catching Up

Believe it or not, I have some catching up to do.
So, here's a summary.

Monday, 19th of June, 2006

Read a book called The Sacred Diaries of Adrian Plass. I don't like this colour. It is about, believe it or not, a diary of a guy. I don't like this colour too much either. Anyway, the book is really good (exactly my sense of humour) and has encouraged me to do more blogging. Maybe shorter blogs, but more frequent. I have also decided to do a Quote of the Day! otherwise known as: Quote of the Day!

For example: There are 10 different types of people: those who understand binary code and those who do not - Matt, a business person from Hai Q.

This has come from an idea to do what this person I know does, and keep a diary of all the funny/stupid/witty/smart/etc things people say. Man, this purple colour is really good. But I can type faster than I can write, and anyway, it's much more interesting if a gazillion people out there can read it. Haven't finished the book (refer to top) though yet.

Read more of the Sacred Diaries of Adrian Plass. Even more encouraged to do my blog more and decided I really must do the blog more often and decided I was going to do a blog post later in the day or the next one. Had our preacher and his wife come over today for a friendly visit. As per always, I challenged him to table soccer, fully intending and expecting to win. Lost 9-4. Played again. Lost. Played again. Lost. Played again. Lost 9-1. Played again. Lost. Played again. Lost 9-8! Encouraged by that, played again and... lost. Might have played again a couple of times but I didn't win any. My self-esteem slightly hurt by that, asked if he wanted to play Grand Turismo on my Playstation2. Won by about 20 seconds. Happy again.

Note: I honestly haven't lost a game except against him in a very long time. It is true to say that it was a bit of a shock to the system losing against him.

Later that day...

Hadn't done a blog yet, planning to do one the next day. Finished the book. Mum got me the next one in the series for me.

Wednesday 21st of June, 2006.

Playing Boggle. Nice games, but ever had one od those moments that something snaps (in a good way) and you just crack up laughing really hard so much that it really hurts and you want to stop laughing because of the pain but as soon as you do you start up again? I had one of those moments when Dad said: "I've beaten Mum in Boggle before." I had to go out of the room due to risk of dying of laughter, and though that would be interesting, it might be a bit to painful for my liking.
Didn't do blog.

Thursday 22nd of June, 2006.

Left for Bairnsdale. Oh yeah, by the way, For the last week or so I've been in a holiday in Bairnsdale, a town a couple of hours drive from home. I brought a book on the way called Thr3e which is by an author called Ted Dekker. I have already read and got books by him so safely assumed it would be worth reading. Arrived in Bairnsdale after a couple of hours. Saw the cabin, it was alright I suppose. Kinda like halfway inbetween camping and staying in a motel (but admittedly there was more space then in a motel between 'rooms'). Began to read thr3e. Asked Mum if I could take the laptop. Didn't say yes. To this day I still don't see why. At night it was really warm but Mum was cold so we had to keep the heater on full blast. Didn't get to sleep very easily. Didn't do blog.

Friday, 23rd of June, 2006.

Was rainy so we went to the cinemas to watch RV Vacation. I never heard about it until then but it was ok I guess. After we went there we went to K-mart (a shop) and I bought a Tangle. It is this really weird thing that is virtually designed to fiddle with. I had never seen one before so I bought it. We made plans to go to an old friends place for tea on Monday (tea as in dinner). We were going to go to the caves today, but decided not to due to wet weather (I didn't particularly care or mind, but found it funny that that would make a big enough difference considering it wasn't cold and it defintely wasn't very much at all in the actual daylight). Didn't do blog.

Saturday, 24th of June, 2006.

Went to the Caves. See Mum's short blog for details. Didn't do blog.

Sunday, 25th of June, 2006.

Am presently wondering why I have bothered to put the year on the dates. Oh well. On Sunday we went to church, there was quite a few people we apparently know. The count of how many times I have heard the phrase: 'Put a brick on your/his head' went up from 346,789 to 347,008. But my memory isn't all that good so those figures are kinda give or take. Went to look at Lakes Entrance (Lakes Entrance is a popular tourist lake side town in this area, near Kakadu). Finished Thr3e after spilling noodles on it. Gave it to Dad to read and he accepted it! Read his short blog for details.

Monday, 26th of June, 2006

Went to a Christian school because Mum needed ideas for her school camp or something or other. More importantly, Dad measured me against a wall chart to measure height and I am 196 cm high. Thought that was very cool. I seriously doubt that the chart could be up wrong or something. Went to a friends house. It was fun. We got them to come over again.

To be continued. (Those 3 words and this in brackets by his dear mum since I want to publish this bit so far and he can continue in the next blog post.)

Part II (updated on the 3rd of July)

Tuesday, 27th of June, 2006.

Thanks to my specific instructions (don't come after 12 o'clock or else I might not be ready my friend's family (my parent's are friends with his parents which is good) showed us the camp where Mum's class is going for a camping excursion then we went around town, went on a miniture free ferry played with soccer ball a bit, got stuff to eat, played mini golf with just the boys, dropped them off home, I stayed the night there,

Wedenesday, 28th of June, 2006.

left without even returning to the cabin we stayed in. When we were driving back, we stopped at a small christian bookshop in Leongathie (pretty close to Kakadu) and I asked (it was Mum's idea) if I could sell The Flood. She said yes so I am going to drop off a copy of the Special Edition when I finish it and when I get a chance.
