Look at What I Made

Sorry I haven't posted anything of importance in awhile.

I guess I could moan and groan about how I've barely heard a peep out of Alex since the camping thing despite me asking him if he wanted to do stuff. For example, on Community Day I asked if he wanted to watch the fireworks with me since I had a perfect view (I took vid of it with the intention of putting it on here but Blogger takes forever to upload vids. I had it going all through church, 3 hours, but it was still going when I got back). He never even bothered to respond.

The next day in church I didn't talk to him, and he didn't talk to me.

The neighbors have been slowly moving stuff out of their house and taking it somewhere. We (Dad and I) want to know where they are moving to (we are nosy), so I followed them. A little bit before we (the neighbors and myself) left, I sent Alex a msg asking if he wanted to come along. No answer.

I ran into him, Alex2, and Joe at a stop sign. Alex said, "Don't let them see you following them." So obviously he got my message.

-_-

Needless to say, I was irritated because he didn't even bother to respond one way or the other. So after I got back I sent him the following:

"It's not that hard to type yes or no when someone invites you to do something. It tends to annoy some people when you don't answer. I won't mention any names..."

I don't care if I shouldn't have sent that. Not responding either way when someone invites you to do something is really bad etiquette. It just makes it seem like he doesn't even care. Grr...

Oh well. Enough about that. Look at what I just finished:






The United States Capitol Building.

More Pictures

Okay, the first part of this post goes with Tyler's game. Basically, if you get tagged then you have to take pictures of where you blog from. Mainly you're desk, but I went above and beyond and took pics of other things around my room (including my underwear drawer :p).


I'm gonna tag Matt.

Again, captions are under the pic.


Shot of my desk area from my doorway.


My desk.


My 3D model stuff.


A mug that holds my pens, pencils, markers, and scissors. Also seen is a triangular shaped rock. I found it in The Triangular Field in Gettysburg. I thought it was interesting that there was a triangular rock in the Triangular Field. Behind is a paper weight statue that is a small replica of the statue from Scarface. It says, "The World is Yours" on it.


Printer.


Outside my front window. Alex's house is seen above my garage, and Alex2 lives with his grandmother and uncle in the trailer on the right.


My shoes. Normal shoes at the top; dress shoes on the bottom.


My bookshelf.


Pictorial History of World War II.



My State Quarter collection. I have all 50.



My Presidential Dollar coin collection. I have all that have been released so far except Monroe who came in the mail before I changed my address with them. So it went to my old place, and they never forwarded it to me.

... bastards...


Books used for school.


The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling. That's not actually the book lol. It's just the collector's edition case. The real book is inside.


Civil War atlas.


My computer games.

I have:

Flight Simulator X
Sim City 4: Deluxe Edition
American Conquest: Divided Nation
Star Wars: Empire at War
Titanic: Adventure out of Time

I also have The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion (aka The American Civil War) on CD.


Miscellaneous books.


Titanic books.





PS2 games and strategy guides. I have 58 PS2 games that are shown here. I'm not sure if there are more lying around or not. But that's $2,900 worth if you figure $50 each.


xbox 360 games.



PSP games.


Civil War books.


Some of my music. A bit fuzzy huh?


My Xbox 360 temporary setup. I used to have it downstairs on the flat screen and plugged into the surround sound. But until I get a wireless card to use with Xbox Live, I have to suffer with a small mono TV and headphones.


The game I'm currently playing for the second time.


My dresser.



My watches and a pin.


Other pins and tie tacks. Also my class ring. The lowest pin, the one with the blue outside ring, was an award I got, supposedly sent by President Bush, after I graduated 6th grade. It says on it, "President's award for educational Excellence".


My pants.


My long sleeved shirts.


My short sleeved shirts. Mostly polos.


The drawer that holds all my pjs and other random bits of clothing.


My underwear drawer lol. I only have one pair of boxers, which is in the laundry right now. The rest are boxer-briefs. Notice I only wear black socks.

Okay, that's enough pictures for now.

Remember, I tagged Matt so now he has to post pics too. Some other people are also posting. Go to Tyler's blog to find out who else (link at the top of this post).

Community Day and Random Pics

Today is the annual community day thing in my city. I took some pics of the parade, and some of my room for you to check out. There's even a pic of Alex... No really, there is.

The pics from my room are first cos I forgot that Blogger adds everything backwards when you upload pics.

Captions for a picture will be below it.


The new marker board I hung up in my room. This was written in my best/fanciest cursive. I don't really like to write in cursive cos I'm really not that great. I'm even worse at reading it.


Gun rack with two muskets on it. The top on is actually just a toy, and the one below it is a hunting musket. Also on the bottom rack are two swords.

Yes, you can see my reflection in the picture on the left.



Five pictures cut out of an old calendar. I have no frames or wall space, so I put them up on top of the door frames lol.


Oops, I forgot to rotate some of these pics when I uploaded them to my computer.

Well this one if of the Skylar (the dog) and Chessie (pronounced Chess-e, not cheesy) on the steps. Horrid wall color huh?


Casper in his basket. I just woke him up as you can see lol.


Chessie high on cat nip.


My closet. You can see my sleeping bag on the shelf above, and the heating blanket on the floor below a small space heater.


My "chart table" as I call it. This table currently holds the base of a 3D puzzle I'm working on. Depending on what I'm working on, this table holds Titanic blueprints, or battle maps and such from the Civil War.


Skylar.


Forgot to rotate this one too.

My new cell phone. It's a Chocolate. Kind of a gay color isn't it? :p

It actually belonged to my mom before she got a new one. I really needed a replacement for my old one, so she got this one activated for me. Anyone want my number?


Hehe. Guess what those are used for...

:p


The book I'm currently reading about World War II.


I've got a looooong way to go in it. I'm only on page 130 out of 946.



Okay, lets get to the Community Day Parade.

Civil War reenactors. I can't remember what that group is called, but they're all African Americans.








Firetrucks from other places.

Some people marching. They obviously have a name but I can't think of it right now.



The Japanese Club. I have no clue where they came from lol.


The girls' softball teams. You can see Alex's dad and his sister if you know what they look like.


Lady on horseback who I missed when she was on the parade route.




Some classic cars. Maybe some of you old(er) people can identify them?



Boys' baseball teams.
Alex's baseball team. Alex is looking right at the camera, standing in the middle.


One of the our firetrucks. The others, including the rescue boat, went past before the Civil War reenactors did, but I didn't have my camera then.


One of the old cars again.

Sorry about the blurriness in most of the parade pics. My camera was zoomed in the whole way on some of them.

There will be fireworks later on tonight. I'll take pics of that too and post them.
