Day Thirty-Three: Farewell, My Minty Friend

7/14/13, 11:50 AM PDT

Went to church. My sister was eating Fruit Mentos when a yellow one fell on the ground. Rather than throw it away immediately, she decided to poke it with her foot for awhile. Eventually, she got attached to it and whispered to me "It's my Mento friend."

When mom looked down and saw her playing with a dropped Mento, she told us to throw it away when church ended. How heartbreaking. It's like knowing your best friend is going to die, so you have to spend as much time as possible with them before the go. So we did. We kicked that Mento around. We gave it the time of its tiny, minty life.

Afterward, we threw it into the trash can. Poor guy. It's okay, Mento. You'll be in my heart. Always.

Then, my sister ate the rest of the Mentos, saying "I'll eat the rest of my friends so they'll stay with me FOREVER."

Quote of the year.

At Fashion Valley. Watching the Melee EVO stream at the Windows Store. Splitscreening with one half of their gigantic monitor being the EVO stream, the other half Pastebin, where I could type random gibberish so that the computer wouldn't time me out for being AFK.

I'm brilliant.

OH MY GOD. SO MUCH EVO HYPE AT THE WINDOWS STORE. And by "so much," I mean me, ocasionally making outbursts of "WHAT?!"s and "HELL YEAH"s while other people around me stare confused.

Good job, Mango. Hope you enjoy that 4,176 dollars from winning the biggest Melee tournament ever.

Casting roles for my movie now. I'm actually quite happy that I've managed to get so many actors. Well, not "so many" in the sense that I'm overflowing with actors, but I've gotten much more than I expected, which is awesome. Keep in mind, "what I expected" was a number hovering around 1 and 2. Short people count as half a point, mind you, so decimals are justifiable.

Now adding a bunch of shot information and such to the script. Woo, making progress! Tomorrow, I plan on going shopping for props, so if you catch me in any local stores, say my name and I'll say hello back! But don't say my name three times in a row while looking in a mirror in the dark. Just don't.





RFotD: If you put all the Mentos rolls sold globally each year end to end it would circle the earth 4.94 times.

SGAT: Casted for my movie.
