Angela Posted?

Wow, that's new. That hasn't happened in a while.

So anyway, what to talk about? Oh yeah....

I played Persona today. For those of you who don't know, it's a game for the original Playstation. The basic idea is that this group of kids accidentally performs a summoning ritual for a bunch of demons, which separates the town off from the rest of the world, but also gives them the ability to summon aspects of their own personalities (the eponymous personas) to inflict massive damage. And that's about as far as I got. You see, when the demons hit, you're in a hospital, visiting your friend (who might also be psychic). Here's where the problems in the game first arise. First of all, the controls ARE TERRIBLE for this. I always end up turning around in circles. Second of all, WHAT SORT OF RETARDED ARCHITECT PUTS THE STAIRS GOING UP AND THE STAIRS GOING DOWN ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE BUILDING. WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT. So I ended up walking around in circles for a good while, and of course, monsters were jumping out at me every few seconds. Which takes me to my second complaint. The menu system was terrible. None of the idiotic people traipsing around with me would ever end up doing what I wanted them to do. And of course, the menus took forever to navigate, leading me to give up in frustration.

So then I played Final Fantasy Seven. It was a lot better.

So...

I've been bad about posting on this blog. I've just been busy, and well, haven't really had anything to post.
School is pretty interesting though. Will and I don't go to the same school, so we don't discuss this blog that much. I'm surprsingingly liking high school pretty well. Only issue is the crowded hallways. But that's really nothing new.

Totally Back For Reals This Time

Oh. It's you.

Why do I keep making these references? None of you get them.

Anyway, I'm back. Despite your best hopes to get rid of me. Nothing much to say about the camp that I didn't expect in my previous post. The comedy was a big success; everyone loved it (and even LAUGHED). Well, I have no idea what to put here, to be honest. I'm just posting because I've managed to neglect it for a good while. Hrm. Any new developments on this end will be duly noted and maybe even posted on here. Who knows?

I wanna go hoooooommmmme...

And yet another Beach Boys' reference.

Okay, so this trip really isn't that bad. But given that it's a family trip, with my family, you can be sure it's not the best.

Maybe I just overestimated things from being on the DC trip... I don't know. Maybe I just prefer vacation with friends than family.

That said, we did have a pretty good time. We stayed in the mountains in Colorado for a few days, where I got to babysit...

Yay. 

Anyway, we are now in Santa Fe, NEW MEXICO (TWISTYCOUGH) and my mom really wants to go to spa. Great.

Earlier today, we went to the Royal Gorge, which was a complete rip off. It's supposed to be the tallest suspension bridge. Hooray...

But it was $25 PP!! To go over a bridge! And see a petting zoo, but really, who cares about petting zoos?

My dad and I didn't even go through. Instead, we  met some Belgian people and took pictures of the view of the bridge, which, according to my mom and brother, must have been a lot better than the actual thing. And we found some HUGE pieces of mica. Pretty cool.

We'll be going to the Grand Canyon soon, which will hopefully live up to (our) expectations. Until then...

Back and then Gone

Well, it's been a crazy summer so far. The literal MINUTE school was out, I was on the road to Disney and Universal down in Orlando. And if you haven't been to the Harry Potter Theme Park yet, GO. RIGHT NOW. Seriously, BEST FEW DAYS EVER. Butterbeer, giant platters of chicken and ribs at the Three Broomsticks, rocking rollercoasters (not to be confused with the Rock-N-Rollercoaster, which is completely different). But the best part BY FAR was going inside Ollivander's Wand Shop. OH MY GOD. YES. SO MANY WANDS. They had a section with a bunch of wands made to look like the wands of people from the books (or, in this case, movies), but that wasn't even the best part. They had a section where you told them an important date in your life. They then found out which month of the Celtic calendar your date was in. And based on that, they assigned you a wand. My date was my birthday (March 19), which put me in the month of Fearn the Alder. For those of you who don't know Celtic mythology, this is the third month of the lunar year. It is a fire moon, seeing as Fearn is (and I quote) "the very battle witch of the woods". All this leads my up to my point. If you thought what it represents was awesome, you'll love this.

My wand is a SNAKE. I DO NOT KID. THE LITERAL BODY OF MY WAND IS A SNAKE.

WRAPPED AROUND A SKELETON.

HOLY GOD YES.

So yeah, awesome.

Then I got back and had to take summer health and gym. At least now I never have to take gym class again. EPIC WIN.

And now, after just having gotten back, I have to go again. Where? CAMPPPP. It's called VAMPY. NO it doesn't have anything to do with vampires. ಠ_ಠ

Basically I stay on WKU's campus (they're the ones with the giant red thing as their mascot, colloquially known as the Schmoe) for three weeks, while taking a course their. The one I'm in this year is some materials science thing. I don't know what it means, but I GET TO USE AN ELECTRON MICROSCOPE! WOOOOOO.

And there's other fun stuff like a 4th of July cookout, a big convention dubbed VCon, where much fun is had. But my favorite part is the talent show. Why? Because I get to do my STAND UP COMEDY ROUTINE.

But wait, you may be saying. Will, you're not even that funny!

SHUT UP.

I'll have you know, you little PRICK that I had the entire audience in STITCHES by the time it was over. People who had been mocking me like you are right now were saying afterwards (and I quote) "Will! You really can do stand up!" I had the ADMINISTRATORS coming up to me and saying how well timed my jokes were. SO JUST BE QUIET.

That outburst aside, it's always pretty fun. I've been working on some jokes for it for a while, and I think I have some good ones. Last year, topics included a partionally fabricated account of getting broken up with, (She said I ate like a pig, smelled horrible, and she couldn't stand to be around me. I know, right? I don't eat that much.) a rant about stairs, and a story about a friend who couldn't work a washing machine.

So, yeah. That's about all I have to say right now. I don't know if I'll be able to post anything on here at VAMPY, but I sure will try.

Slán go fóill!

Summer Tunes

So, yay! Summer. Although I don't think Angela's song was the most appropriate. I prefer this one:

Fun. And everyone loves the Beach Boys.

In the spirit of awesome summer music, here's another selection from one of my favorite bands EVA - Styx. (Don't worry, it's not Mr. Roboto.)

It's summer.

So you know what that means.

It really is nice to not have to do anything, for now. I just got back from visiting Boston, AKA one of the awesome-est cities in the world. Soon, I'll go visit Colorado, Arizona, and NM.

-_-

Angela.

NOT. COOL.

Dance, dance like it's the last, last night of your life, life....

It seems my co-blogger here has got himself a lady....
At the dance tonight, which was surprisingly fun, we were all definitely dancing. And Will had a special someone to dance with.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Memorial Day weekend

Ah, yes. Memorial day. The start of summer, basically. To be quite honest, I don't think anyone thinks of Memorial day as anything but a day without school/work. That sounds really insensitive, but it's probably true.
Also, in science, we made a cake for memorial day. In my opinion it was just an excuse to have cake. Then again, why do we need an excuse to have cake?
For Memorial Day, I am basically doing nothing. Except going shopping in Cincinnati on Monday. And study for those stupid finals. And watching College Humor until I go insane.
So yeah, I'm basically doing nothing.

My Back

Some people would have you believe that the aforementioned trip was not fun. Some would say that it would be painless. I, however, believe neither of these things.

It was quite fun. But now my back hurts.

I was going over a loop backwards, and my back got jammed up against the restraint, and now whenever I jump or run, I get a pain in my upper back. So, yeah. It goes without saying that my tennis lesson today was not entirely enjoyable.

"Fun"

As you may have already heard, King's Island was supposedly "fun." Pssh, what is fun in this century?
Exactly. It's everything. Which is why you have to spend your "fun time" wisely.
I, for one, do not enjoy rollercoasters, as I previously mentioned. So, I sought to spend my perfectly good Saturday at a State track meet. Which, despite the rain, was quite fun.
So hah.
And...random fact of the day:
George Washington grew marijuana in his garden.
Hm. Figures.

King's Island

King's Island is this large amusement park with some pretty sweet rides. Of course, Angela is too busy holding my bags, so she never enjoys it. Poor her. Oh well, thus is life. But yeah, going with a big group of people... already checked it out and none of them are afraid of rollercoasters like my associate here. So, I'll be having fun tomorrow.

Track attack

The state track meet is tomorrow. You may or may not care. But apparently I have an ankle injury of some sort, so I constantly have to be icing it and supporting it while I do my jumps. Tomorrow I am competing in triple jump, and maybe the 4x400 relay. But, our team is mainly preparing for the County meet, which is on Tuesday and Wednesday. Most of the other people in band are going to King's Island. Pssh. I don't care. Whenever I go to King's Island, I'm usually the one who holds other people's bags and jackets while they ride the big roller coasters. It's awesome.

FFIV

Oh, you have to do that? :|

Anyway, I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy IV lately. If you don't know what that is, there's a perfectly nice wikipedia for you. But yeah. I'm a paladin. W00T. I don't know what it is about paladins, but I've always revered them as a sort of, well, force for awesome, really. I mean, in just about every game I play, I have a Paladin handy. I guess it's the way that they are pretty much the best way to keep anyone from taking damage at all. The best example of this comes from Dragon Quest IX, where, after taking enough damage, your Paladin could do a move called Knight Watch. Basically what it did is made your Paladin invulnerable to any attack, and forced the enemy to attack it as long as it lasted, effectively incapacitating your enemy for a few turns while you mercilessly wail on him. AND HE HAD A HAMMER!!!

(P.S. This is what the Paladin looks like.

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabulous.)

Um

Will, you're supposed to separate your labels with commas, so it's not one long, huge tag. Just sayin'.

Re: Smooth School + Jarritos

Yeah, that was stupid. Just give us money, for goodness sake. We deserve it. We're the ones who are actually going to be successful. (Wow, that sounds really elitist. Elitism FTW!! Just kidding...)

And Jarritos are good! I had them at this burrito place in Brookline, MA called Anna's Taqueria. THEIR BURRITOS WERE SOOO GOOD. Anna's was like Chipotle on steroids.

Smooth School + Jarritos

Well, here we are again. It's always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me twice?

No, but in all seriousness, hey. So... today wasn't all that interesting, really. There was this big assembly thing, but it was just about a scholarship. Cool, free money, right? WRONG.

See, the thing is, you have to stay in state to get it. Yeah. Assembly to talk about something a lot of kids won't even be eligible for. Smooth, school. Real smooth.

And Jarritos are good. They're like this Mexican soft drink, available at most grocers. AND HOLY CARP ARE THEY GOOD.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Bristol Palin is Back on TV

Great. This is just what America needed.
According to Yahoo! TV, Sarah Palin's daughter, known as an abstinence advocate after becoming a single mother at the age of 18, is getting a reality TV show on BIO.
A lot of  "drama" has already surrounded Bristol of late, with rumours of cosmetic surgery.
I feel like Bristol Palin shouldn't be a celebrity. Most politicians aren't exactly considered celebrities to begin with, and I think their children certainly shouldn't be. But it seems the American public has an overwhelming fascination with the children of Presidents (i.e., Caroline Kennedy). Especially when there's a lot of spectacle surrounding them, as is the case with Bristol Palin due to her teenage pregnancy.
To be honest, who watches TV anymore anyway? I don't. But I'm not exactly the general American public. Let's just see how those ratings do.

Hello, world!

Well, this is a blog. And I'm posting on it. I suppose that makes me an author of the aforementioned blog? I don't know. But as my 'esteemed' colleague Anglea has previously stated, I am Will, and I shall be authoring this blog along with Angela. Stay tuned for anything else I have to say. Who knows, it might actually be interesting.

TWISTY

This blog was sort of started off an inside joke. It will be a place for Will and me, Angela, to post random things. But awesome all the same. Read the blog description. It says it all.
