Day Twenty-Three: Two Animals and a Dead Lemongerine

7/4/13, 3:51 PM PDT

Woke up pretty late again since sister doesn't have school. Decided to let my SCP get deleted without revision since it really wasn't that great anyway. Still keeping the idea though, don't worry.

Nothing much really happened today so far, apart from my mom making mango smoothies today, which she hasn't done in around five years. I've missed them so much, you don't even know.



Same day, 7:21 PM PDT

Pretty much spent the entire day on the Internet today, doing unproductive things. Break day? Sounds good to me.

Don't worry, I'll go do productive things tomorrow, when my sister goes back to school.

Leaving the house for the 4th of July, awwww yeah.

Found a big, yellow, citrus-y fruit on the ground that looked like a big tangerine, but colored like a lemon. I figured it was feeling pretty lonely, so I decided to kick it to the rec, where all the fireworks would be.

Hello, new friend!

Unfortunately, I accidentally kicked it too hard and it cracked open. It died by my feet, and that is a fact I deeply regret. My sincerest condolences, dead lemongerine. I have failed you.

Now sitting on a foldable chair in the park, waiting for the fireworks. Did a bit of walking around the park with my sister to look at why stuff they had for sale. They had funnel cakes, pizza, shaved ice, and god damn bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Fun fact, I actually tried those last year. They tasted awful.

Also saw Ian, Alan, Matthew P, Angelo, and Noreen, which was pretty cool. Didn't really make much conversation, just kind of said "hi" and left. Note to self, learn how to deal with seeing people outside of school with minimal awkwardness.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. SAW MY PRECIOUS LEMONGERINE CRUSHED BY THE CRUEL FOOT OF FATE. OH GOD, I'M SO SORRY.

"I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, MICHAEL!"

Ah well.

Anyway, Minecraft with the Skype Group again. We found another ocelot trying to break in to our chicken farm, so we caught it, renamed it "Swiper," and freed it into the wild.

Swiper, no taking other peoples' property without consent!

Swiper has a lonely, lonely life ahead of him. Since ocelots are considered hostile mobs, they respawn and despawn unlike most other peaceful mobs. But, if you name an ocelot, they'll never despawn. So he gets to live out his entire life with his ocelot family until one day, they despawn and he's left all alone.

Tragic. But he deserves it for eating all my chickens.

Speaking of chickens, we named one "Cousin Kony" and swore on our lives to protect him from all harm.

I don't even know. Ask Kayla, she thought of the name.

Will we succeed? Only time will tell.

Oh, and Mr. Enderman visited our biome today! He really likes it, I can tell.

"I really do, Michael. I love it."

RFotD: “When people feel lonely they are actually far less accepting of potential new friends than when they are socially contented.”

SGAT: None really.
