...To Be Continued

Yesterday, I spent my whole time talking about Clue but none of the other new games. Also, instead of my usual "The end" at the end, I put "To be continued...". So this is my continued essay thingy. OK, the next new game is called connect four. I don't know anyone who's never heard of it, but just in case: Connect four is a game where you have a VERTICAL board and not a HORIZONTAL board. Each person gets red or black checker pieces specially made so that gravity can pull them to the bottom of the board. The board is made of plastic and it's hollow and it has a whole bunch of holes for the possible places that your checker piece can fall in. You simply drop your checker piece through a space in the top of the board and unless your gravity supply is low, it should fall to the bottom. You and your opponent keep doing this until their checker pieces are in a row of four. Lets move on with the tour... The memory game is nicknamed (by me) the baby game. It has a whole bunch of cardboard cards (Probably not regular cards because the company is afraid that kids will get paper cuts and their parents will sue the company.) with pictures on them. They are separated into sets of two each set with the same picture. The cards are spread out and mixed and if your smart enough, you pick up two cards and hope they have the same picture. Next game... Pictionary I have no idea how to play this or what you do in it because it's my sisters game. Next game... Chutes and Ladders. This is a board made up of 100 squares and each has a number. You spin the spinner and go whatever number of spaces it says. If you just so happen to land on a ladder, you go up to a higher space. If you just so happen to land on a slide, you go to a lower place. First to get to 100 wins. This game was obviously to teach children to be nice because by a ladder, it shows pictures of kids being nice and at the top, they get rewards. On a slide, it shows a kid being bad and getting something bad. Really lame. Last game: Battleship. Out of all of these, it's probably my favorite. Each person gets a board with a bottom section and a top section perpendicular to the other one. They also get five ships. The board is a 10 by 10 grid made of the numbers 1-10 and the letters a-j. Your ships are Cruiser, (two grid spaces) Submarine, (three grid spaces) something else that's three spaces, Battleship, (four grid spaces) and Aircraft carrier (five grid spaces.) you put these all on you're lower board and whoever goes first calls out a grid space, for example: f-2. If you have a ship on f-2 you call hit and the other player puts a red peg on f-2 and calls again. You put a peg on the space of you're ship that they called. If they call a number/letter that you're ship is not on, you call miss and they put a white peg on the space that they called and it's your turn. When all of you're ships get hit on every space, you lose and vise versa. Unless you're looking at each others boards, this should be a long game. The end.

More Games...

into rooms, weapons, and suspects. One person takes a card off of each pile and puts them in a paper pouch without looking. This represents the person, the weapon, and the room that Mr. We got a lot of new games in the last few months. Some we had a long time ago, but they broke, and some that we've wanted for a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time. The games that we already had are: Life, Sorry, Scrabble, Star Wars Monopoly, and Disney Monopoly. (We have a lot more old games but I'm only mentioning the ones in the picture. The new games are: Connect 4, That memory game that I have no idea what it's called, Pictionary, Clue, Chutes and Ladders, and Battleship. First, I'll talk about Clue. A few days ago, my big sister, my friend and I had nothing to do. My mom said she had Clue and my sister was all exited even though I'd never heard of the game. Soon, she taught us. Now we play it at least three times daily. There are 21 cards. Six have the different suspects on them, (Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Ms. White, Mr. Green, Professor Plum and Ms. Scarlet.) six have weapons, (Revolver, Candlestick, Wrench, Knife, Lead pipe, and Rope.) and all the rest have rooms. The layout of the board is basically a hallway connecting to all the rooms. Before the game, the cards are separated into weapons, people and rooms. One of each go into a paper pouch. The rest of the cards get passed out equally to each player and no one knows what anyone else has. They also get a sheet of paper that they can mark off suspects and other information on. Each player chooses a suspect and take turns rolling the dice. They can move as many spaces as they want as long as it's less than the number on the dice. If they pass the open door of a room, they can go in. Once they're in the room, they can suggest or accuse someone, the weapon they killed Mr. Boddy with, and the room he was killed in. If one of their suggestions are wrong, the other players show that person his or her cards that he suggested that they had. If they had the card, obviously the person or item isn't in the paper pouch. Once you're absolutely sure, you can accuse. After that, you take the cards out of the paper pouch and see if you're right. If you're wrong, you're out and the others continue.
To be continued...

Games

These are new or old games... I don't know how to put it. These are from when my dad was a kid... and were in the shed when I found them yesterday... So they're new to me but technically, they're old. Okay, so every one's clear on that subject? Good. The humungo electrical kit thingy is called an electric kit or something. You get to make a whole bunch of cool circuits by messing around with wires and springs even though I've never actually tried. It's just instinct. The batteries leak which is just a fancy way of saying that we need new ones. It was in an old box with a picture of three people smiling as they were around the kit like commercials always show to advertise. Since my grandpa hated how they did this, he took a marker and drew moustaches on them and gave them speech bubbles that said: "It doesn't work!" "Did you read the manual?" "No." "Oh well". My dad and my grandpa hate commercials because of this example. "Dad, my head hurts." than the dad gets up holds up a box and smiles... "Why don't you try some kid aspirin! It's extra chewy and has flavors including cherry and vomit." and it goes on and on. This is an example of the real world: "Dad, my head hurts." pause "Dad, my head hurts" pause "DADMYHEADHURTS!!!" The dad is mad and says: "GO TO THE MEDICINE CABINET AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" I'm going to carry on. The plastic game is called Mastermind. One person goes to one side and takes four colored pegs and puts them in a certain combination hidden behind a wall. The other has ten chances to guess it in those rows. The person hiding the combination then puts the teeny pegs to tell if they're right or wrong. The last and final one is called chess and checkers and backgammon and something called Acey ducey. The end.

Reality Factory

As I showed before, I have a video game making program called Genesis 3D. On the same website, I found another program similar to Genesis 3D called Reality Factory. After I downloaded it, I realized that it also had a demo of a real game that I've never heard of. I use this one instead of Genesis 3D because it has more options and lots of other things that Genesis doesn't have. The only thing it doesn't have, is lots of textures like Genesis 3D. But I've figured out how to add you're own pictures for textures, so that won't be a problem. The thing I'm trying to figure out is a good game to make. No one likes historical games because everyone I know doesn't like history. In fact, every one I know doesn't like school period. So I might just make a game of my house where you walk around and do nothing in particular. But until then, I'll just wait. The end.

Mr. Rubik's Evil Brother

He finally came!!! The evil twin (or almost) of Mr. three by three Rubik's! His name is Dr. four by four Rubik's*. Two nights ago, my granddad all the way from Massachusetts! The next day, (like he always does) went to the mall with my sister and I. While we were there, we saw this thing at a puzzle store all trapped up in a cage. (Or rather, a box.) We ended up getting it anyway and bringing it home. I was the first to try it. I solved the top green side of the cube and got stuck there and no one else has solved it. But, he was in a cage and the cage told all the evil secrets about him and showed how to defeat him. (I mean, the WEBSITE where you learn how to defeat him.) So I'm going to attempt to defeat him again, and if and when I fail, I'll go to the website and I'll beat him and if HIS evil twin (or brother) comes called Mr. five by five Rubik's, I will defeat him. So on and so forth. The end.

*These are fake names. It's really called Rubik's revenge.

The Broken Computer

This, as you read in the title, is a broken computer. But that's not all! This is the most IMPORTANT computer in the house... and it's broken. It has all the computer programs that I use for stop-motion and special effects for photos... But most of all... IT'S MY ONLY SOURCE OF OFFLINE GAMES!!!!! My dad says the Hard drive (whatever THAT is) is broken. So I asked my sister if I would have to start my whole Star Wars Battlefront account all over again since I'm almost finished with it. She said that I would and started laughing because she'd probably get ahead of me. So usually, I just hold the controller and look at the blank screen and pretend I'm playing. Right now, I'm just waiting for the computer to get fixed if it takes all year!!! Umm... what should I talk about now... Hmmmmmmmmm.... The end.

Snow!

Finally! After months and months and months and months and months and months and months of now snow this winter, it snowed at last! Unfortunately, we weren't prepared because none of us knew it would snow until a few days before. BUT THE BEST PART IS, IT SNOWED ON A THURSDAY!!!!! THAT MEANS WE DIDN'T HAVE SCHOOL!!!!! Oh, yeah, it snowed a few days ago... it's already gone. :'-(-{-< Oh well, at least it snowed. At six O'clock in the morning the snow was about four inches deep. By the middle of the day, it was half that. By the next day, it was gone. But the next day after that, it was supposed to snow again! All day long. But it took about half the day for the ground to cool enough so that the snow could land on the ground so by the end of the day we only had half an inch of snow. During most of that time, I actually took advantage of the day off and played on the computer. When I did go outside, since we only had firewood gloves that weren't very good for snow, I had to have a snowball fight with my bare hands. Eventually, I went inside after ten minutes, I went inside and actually did something useful with my time... computer. By the time the snow was only in some parts of the yard, it was frozen so you could hardly move it. But there were icicles everywhere possible. We had fun with those for a few minutes and went back inside. That's how I spent my valuable time. The end.

The "What's it's name game"

About a week ago, my brother got these pirate things. (everything except the guns.) It's supposed to be what Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of the Caribbean wears. Then my brother got the "Treasure Chest" at school. (Where the students get a dumb toy if they were good that week.) He got some bouncy ball. My big sister stole it just to be obnoxious, and my brother and little sisters tried to get it back. Eventually, it turned into a game. My big sister got me to go onto her team. We were trying to get the "Magic ball", the pirate hat, the pirate bandanna, the telescope, the three rings, and finally, the plastic knife. We had the two guns. (They are supposed to shoot these plastic discs but they don't work anymore, so we used them as stun guns.) We caught my sister and my sister tied some really lame knots hoping to tie her up. (She didn't memorize the knots in the knot book like we were supposed to.) We "tortured" her by tickling her and she lied about where something was. We "tortured" her more, and searched her pockets and found what we were looking for. We eventually won like we always do. The last two times, I won because I was my big sisters double agent and my little sisters thought I was their friend. Eventually, my sisters found out... after I won. This game doesn't have a specific, agreed, name, so I just call it the "Whats it's name game."

The Fireplace

This post is about the weird adventures of a fireplace. Okay... never mind. This is a post about the weird adventures of the people who light the fireplace. As everyone knows, it's winter. So everyone is all crazy about how the fire has to stay lit 24/7. Never mind. Not that often. Since our neighborhood cuts down about two trees every year, they give it to us. Then, my dad uses his wood splitter to split the wood. We line up the wood on these racks in our back yard with the wheelbarrow, then we bring ten or twenty or fifty pieces to another rack in our back patio. Then we take a few of THOSE pieces and put them in ANOTHER rack in the house next to the fireplace. Then we take some of THOSE and put them in the fireplace along with paper, cardboard, little twigs, sticks, small logs, and big logs. My dad wants us to understand which order to put them in and why. Because the fire gets hotter as it goes from paper to cardboard to twigs to sticks to small logs to big logs. At the beginning of winter, we only burned a few pieces a day. Later on, we started burning more pieces including in the night. Then it suddenly got warmer and we didn't make any fires... Then suddenly out of nowhere, it gets cold again and we burn twice as much wood as we used to. In fact, last night, I filled up the rack inside the house and by the time I woke up, it was all gone. IWANTITTOSNOWSOBADLY!!!! If it doesn't, I don't thing it should be cold. Well, anyway, that's life.

Car Maker Kit Thingy

A long time ago, my mom gave this to me for a present. I call it the car maker kit thingy. I didn't actually start making the car until a few days after I got it. (It was actually meant for two cars so that you look twice as dumb when you mess up.) The kit comes with some plaster of Paris, but I call it flour because there's no difference to me. It comes with a cheap plastic mould to pour the flour in and stickers and a blo-pen and varnish and paint and wheels and wheel holders and finally, a measuring cup.
The instructions told me to take the measuring cup and fill it three times with the so called "Plaster of Paris" and pour those in a plastic cup. Then I had to take one of the buckets of paint and pour that in there as well. Then I had to use the measuring cup and fill it with water and pour that in too. Then I had to mix it all up 'till it looked like melted ice-cream. Then I had to take the bottom part of the cheap plastic mould and fill it up wit the mix. Then I had to take the top part of the cheap plastic mould and put that on top of the bottom part of the cheap plastic mould. After that, I had to wait a whole entire hour for it to dry. Then it was an hour later. I took the blo-pen and spray-painted the car blue. I got tired of waiting for another hour so I skipped to the next step. I painted the varnish on and I got tired of waiting for THAT hour so I skipped to the next step. I was adding the stickers but since the varnish wasn't dry, the stickers peeled off and ruined the car.
I tried building another car and I actually waited and the car looked perfect. Then a minute later, it got lost. Let this be a lesson to all of you who have little brothers and sisters.

Lego Competitions

My older sister and I entered the Lego Club a few years ago. The Lego Club is a club for people who like Lego's. (Well duh.) We don't have dumb meetings but instead we get to stay on our comfortable LA-Z-BOY. Every two months, there's a Lego magazine that they send to us and occasionally they send us a Lego catalog. The Lego catalog shows all the new Lego sets to make people jealous and want to buy them. The Lego magazine is almost the same, but it doesn't show the prices for the Lego sets. (Probably so people will have to spend more money on the catalog.) Well, anyway, the Lego magazine has comics in it and descriptive details on all the Lego sets so that you get even more jealous that you don't have it. It has interviews with people who helped make the Lego sets, and a whole two pages showing Lego things that a whole bunch of people in the Lego club made. In every magazine, there are competitions too. They give you about a month to build a type of Lego model. The last magazine I got had three competitions. One was a Spongebob competition where you make any Spongebob character in the movies. The winner gets a big Lego version of Spongebob about a foot tall. I wasn't very interested. They had another one where you make a police vehicle and send a picture of it to the Lego club people. The rewards (the most common one) is any Lego set of your choice for up to $100. The last one, was a Lego Star Wars one. You're supposed to make a Lego version of your favorite scene from the movies. The Grand prize was an XBox 360 and the new Lego Star Wars video game. The nine runner ups get the new Lego Star Wars video game. I started with this Lego General Grievous head until I realized what I was making wasn't a scene from the movie, but more of a person standing in a pose. My favorite scene was from episode 3, but it turned out I didn't have any brown pieces which I needed an awful lot of. I tried thinking of other ones, but they had excuses too. I'm waiting till the next Lego magazine comes so that I can see if I want to do any of those competitions. But my sister says I should keep doing this one. I'm still thinking about it.

Cosmic Catch

This, as we all know, is a ball. The other thingamabobamathingamajigs, as we all know, are made of plastic. The ball, as only I know, can talk. And the plastic, as only I know, have super secret awesome weird secretive sensors inside them. This game, or should I say, Super secretive only meant for super secret spies spy gear is secretly named the name of Cosmic Catch. Just kidding about all that super secret spy stuff. It's really a catch game. When you put batteries in and press the button, it talks in that weird robot tone. "Cosmic (changes tone) Catch. (changes tone) Players, (changes tone) sign in. (changes tone) pass the ball (changes tone) to each player." Then each player puts one of the colored bands around their hand so that the plastic part is touching your palm. You then pass the ball to each player, and whenever the ball gets close to the plastic part on your palm, it senses the color. In the games, it'll tell you who to pass the ball to. (For example) "Red (changes tone) pass the ball to (changes tone) green." Supposing you passed it to green, the ball will tell him the next color to pass it to. If you pass it to the wrong color, or if the ball hits the ground, it makes a very lame exaggerated explosion sound. There are four games. The first is fast pass. In it, you pass the ball to whoever it tells you to pass it to. The second, code challenge, I don't really understand. The third is called add one. You're supposed to pass it to any color, for example, green. He passes it back to you, you pass it back to him. After that, He passes it to red or any other color. Then red passes it back to you. Every time you add a new color. Eventually it gets really hard to remember, and someone passes it to the wrong player. The last one is called You're out. You have a certain amount of time to pass the ball to whoever he says, and when it runs out of time, the last person holding the ball goes out. It keeps going until there's one player left and that one wins. The end to my long, tiring, boring, bad, worst story in the world. Boring stories: To be continued.

More Nerf Stuff!

The day before yesterday, (As some of you already know.) my mom took all the kids in this house to Target because my little sister and I SPECIFICALLY asked to go there and buy a Nerf gun. The other kids didn't get anything because they didn't plan ahead of time like my sister and I did. So my brother got jealous and everything, so he told my mom that he wanted a gun too, and asked her if we could go again. She said yes, and we went. (All of this was yesterday.) While we were at the store, he chose a huge gun selling for 30 dollars. Then she found THESE guns that were half off and only 15 dollars. We ended up getting three of these. (Two red and one blue.)
Now I'm going to describe the awesome thing. Each gun comes with a gun, (well duh) two reloading clips, twenty Nerf darts, a Nerf vest, a piece of paper showing all the games you can play with it, a pair of protective glasses that look awesome, and a refill pack. (Times three.) This is the first Nerf gun I've actually seen that's powered by air. It's plastic, and has an air chamber, and works just like a super soaker water gun. And it's fully automatic. (Meaning you can pull the trigger and it continuously shoots until you let go.(But only if the air doesn't run out first.)) The reloading clips each hold ten darts and have a belt clip for holding them. The back of the reloading clip, is a whole bunch of holes that the air blows through to shoot the darts out. It moves up out of the gun as the darts shoot out and makes a machine gun noise because of notches on the side clicking against the side of the gun. The darts themselves are meant to stick to the vest because of very strong Velcro. Otherwise, they're the same as all the other darts. The glasses are just flexible frames with plastic lenses to protect your eyes. The refill pack comes with a clip that clips to your belt loop, and a string to tighten the top of the sack. The vest has four targets on it. A big one on the back, and three small one with scores on the front. It's made of foam or whatever you call it, so even the slightest touch of the Velcro on the darts will stick them on the vest. If you haven't guessed already, all you're supposed to do in Nerf tag, is shoot the other team... Well, the instructions come with about fifteen games that you can play using the equipment. The end.

My NEW Lego Set

This, as anyone in the world can see, is a box. But it has the coolest stuff in the world inside. LEGO's!!! Legolegolegolegolegolegolegolego's!!! But they're not Star Wars Lego's. :'-( They're Mars Mission Lego's. But so what. At least they're Legooooooooo's. What's that? No, I didn't have too much sugar today! As a matter of fact, I only had a few bowls of it! Now let me go on.
Once upon a time I got twenty dollars for a present. Then I went to the store with all my other siblings to get something with it. I had it all planned out, but when I got to the store, (It was Christmas time.) what I wanted to get was out of stock. (By the way, what I wanted to get was a Lego set.) So I looked and looked and looked and eventually, I found this. I didn't like the topic but the pieces were cool so I got it anyway. (The topic is about these astronaut dudes who go to mars because there's an energy source there and they want to mine it. But since they're stealing from the aliens that live there, the aliens come and try to get the invading earthlings off. So the astronauts kept mining the stuff and the aliens kept trying to blow them up. The end.) So then I opened the Lego set and I built the stuff that the instructions said, and we all lived happily ever after! Theeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeeend (Oh yeah, we didn't live happily ever after because we still had years and years of school left and we didn't live happily ever after until we got our jobs and we never had to hear the word school again. Unfortunately, that's not for about twenty years.)

Nerf Guns

These are the Nerf guns that my little sister and I got yesterday. It all started when I went to my friends house and saw that they had some Nerf guns. I tried them out and I liked them. So I went on the Internet and found a website that sells them. I looked at the various different kinds of Nerf guns and I found the one at the top. I wanted to get two of the same gun, so I asked my sister if she wanted to get one too. When she saw it, she said yes. We were still figuring out if we were sure we wanted it, but we found another one that comes with two guns and two vests that the Nerf darts stick too and we considered that instead. When my mom took us to Target, we found the Nerf gun section. We didn't find the specific one that we were looking for, but we found the one we wanted before that. We only found one so I got that one and my sister got the smaller one that came withe the six foam targets. It came with six orange darts and mine came with eight white glow in the dark darts. We wanted more darts so we got two extra packs that came with eight more glow in the dark darts. One for me and one for my sister.

Now I'm going to tell you the features of the guns. The gun that my sister got was just an extra pack for the N-strike disk shot. The N-strike disk shot is a plastic thing that shoots up the foam targets so that you can shoot them out of the air. Since we don't have it, we just set up the targets and shoot them. All of the darts stick to any hard, flat and smooth surface. My sisters gun has five places at the bottom for extra darts and one at the top for shooting. To shoot, you pull back something at the back and pull the trigger to shoot. (The same thing with my gun.)

My gun has eight spaces in the back to hold extra darts, and eight spaces in the front for darts that you're about to shoot. When you pull back the trigger, the barrel automatically rotates to the next dart for rapid firing. There is also a light that flashes when you pull the trigger so that the darts glow brighter in the dark. This way, you can see the dart glowing while it flies through the air.

My brand new glasses

These, as we all know, are glasses. But they're not just any old pair of glasses. They're MY glasses. Story time. (As you know from previous posts, you're going to fall asleep due to a lousy story.)
Once upon a time I was ten years old and I went to the eye doctor against my own will because I was addicted to the computer and I didn't want to get off. *Taking quick, deep breaths* The eye doctor guy said I need to get nerdy looking glasses, but for some reason, I didn't. Then it was a year later and I had to get within three feet to the timer if I wanted to see it clearly. Then I wore my moms glasses and I could see it from ten-thousand feet away. I told my mom I need to get glasses and eventually, (A month later.) I went to the eye doctor and took the unnecessary test and got to choose my glasses. They said that the glasses would be ready on Friday, then Saturday, and eventually, they actually came... with a glasses case. Then we all lived happily ever after. The end.

Rush Hour

This is a picture of a game called Rush Hour that I got for a present. About a month or so ago, I went to my Grandma's house in Virginia. Since a holiday was coming up, she let my big sister and I choose a present that we wanted. I've always wanted this game, so I chose this and the extra card decks that give you more puzzles. My sister chose a 3-dimensional puzzle of a castle or something. Later, the game got delivered to my house. The point of the game is to get the Red car out of the slot on the side of the board. The cards tell you how to arrange the cars. You can only move each car back and forth depending on the direction it's facing and some cars are blocking the red car out and they can really bother you. Each extra pack comes with an extra car and an extra deck of 40 cards. The first extra pack (The one that says number two.) comes with another red car. It comes with new puzzles and harder cards. Some of the cards tell you to get both red cars out of the puzzle while others only tell you to get one out. The second extra pack comes with a limousine. In some puzzles, you're trying to get the limousine out and in others, you're trying to get the red car out. Lastly, the other extra pack comes with a taxi and your trying to get the taxi out of the puzzle.

My Tool Kit

These are all the dangerous tools that I got for a present about two weeks ago... Oh yeah, there's also a bag. Since the picture isn't very clear, I'll describe each thing and their amazing/ dangerous functions.

First of all, the bag. It has a cool zipper (Like any other one.) that closes the top of the bag. It also has some cool Velcro (Like any other Velcro.) that closes a cool flap. (Like any other flap.) Lastly, it has awesome handles and side pockets (Like any other handles and side pockets.) that do cool things like... like... like... Forget it! Time to move along.

Now, the hammer. On the far left side of the picture , there's a big long tool called a hammer crowbar or a crowbar hammer or whatever. It has a smasher thing at the front that you can bang on nails and bashing stuff open. That thing at the back is to silently take nails out of your door so that you don't get in trouble for nailing them in the first place. Moving along.

Now let's talk about the screwdrivers. They're lined up against each other right under the bag... In the picture. One is called a Phillips head screwdriver, (Phillip must have had an ugly head.) and one is called a Flat head screwdriver. They have magnets at their tips so that they get magnetized to screws so that you can be lazy instead of looking all over the place for them. By the way, you TURN the screwdriver just in case you didn't know.

The pliers (On the far right of the picture.) open and close so that you can grab stuff with it and pull them out or something like that so that you don't kill yourself trying to pull them out with your bare hands. (I don't actually know how to use them so I'm just making a wild guess.) They work like scissors I guess... but I don't actually think that they would make a good pair.

In the picture next to the pliers is the crescent wrench. It's like a regular wrench, but you can change the size of it by turning a worm gear under the crescent of the wrench or whatever you call that part. You use it on a bolt to turn it. It's called crescent wrench for two reasons. One because it's shaped like a crescent, (Well duh.) and two because the company that made it up was called crescent.

There are two pairs of scissors in the picture. (Find them.) One is an ordinary pair of scissors that cuts through cardboard and paper and stuff like that. The other is a dangerous pair of utility scissors. (My dad gave them to me. They didn't come with the kit.) The utility scissors rule. They can cut pennies (The coin.) in half.

I'm making these last ones fast so that I can get my school work over with. The tape measure is 12 ft. long and self locks so that you can measure stuff like how rich someone is. (No not really.) This is the last one and I'm so happy. The last one is a pair of wire cutters. This is used like scissors again but to cut wires. But I'm pretty sure that you can cut wires with the utility scissors. THE END

Rubik's Cube

This is a picture of a Rubik's cube I got a few days ago. I never knew how to solve one until now. This is my version of the history of the Rubik's cube

Once upon a time, a twenty-six piece puzzle came into my life. It was shaped like a cube and was about an inch long on each side. I mixed it up and from then on, I regretted it. I tried solving it for months but nothing seemed to word. It kinda accidentally fell down and broke into a million... I mean twenty-six pieces. I think I was in second grade so I was too stupid to know how to fix it. (Because, as we all know, teachers don't teach fun things because they'll get fired if they do.(Probably)) A few years later, I went to Africa and the strange puzzle came to haunt my life again. Only this time it was bigger... Fortunately, it came with a cheat sheet (Or a defeat sheet as I call it) and it turned out to be pretty easy until I was too stupid to know that I did something wrong. The cheat sheet got ripped up and the Rubik's cube got ruined. Now we come to about five days ago when it comes again to haunt me. So I figured out my mistakes and I KILLED that evil thing about one, two, three... too many times to count. But his evil brothers will be out to get me soon... The Rubik's cubes with even more sides. And soon the COMPUTER program will haunt me forever. (The computer version is a 20x 20x 20 piece Rubik's cube.) But I will try to slay them like I did before.

The end
