[NanTheDark]

Well I was back from my vacation a while ago. ^_^

While on vacation, I wrote an entry every day on a Word file. I'm gonna post them here now.

Also, you'll noticed I put "Quote of the Day" and "Fun Facts" there. I'm actually hoping to throw those in in future entries too. Because.

Day One: show

Day One ~ February 21, 2014
A Bumpy Start

18:20

Today in the morning we woke up early, had breakfast, and got ready to travel, and waited for grandpa to come pick us up in his car. However, my grandparents weren’t ready yet, and so we had to wait for a good while... when they came, I said good bye to my dad (who would stay to guard the home front, I guess) and we left.

Now, I always have this problem when traveling on car... I get sorta dizzy and nauseous when traveling for too long. Today I decided to follow some advice my dad gave me and just look at the road in front of us the whole time. I found that I didn’t get as dizzy as other times. I still felt sorta bad later, but not as much.

Now, we were traveling for a bit and we got stopped by the police. They asked for my grandpa’s ID, then they let us continue.

Halfway through, we were passing through a city and suddenly the car shook all over, my mom hit her head and we all were pretty much scared. As it turned out, there was a speedbump there, but there wasn’t a signal pointing it out, and it wasn’t painted either, so no one had noticed it was there.

We kept going, and once again we were stopped by the police. They explained that this weekend they were checking on pretty much everyone who passed, so yeah. There was this other car and they were receiving a fine. And... we almost did too.

As it turns out, our lights were off, and we need to have them on while in the highway. We had no idea of this, and Grandpa thought they were on. He reasoned that the previous speedbump had caused them to go off, and he told the police about that. Then they let us go, no problem.

And so, we made it to the Beach, and I wasn’t that dizzy. We got to the House where we were going to stay. House number four. :3 It wasn’t too much, but it was ok I guess. I got a room in the second floor.

When I first left the car I looked to the distance and noticed a dude in a blue hoodie, who seemed to be staring right at me. I looked at him for a while. He seemed sorta suspicious... then I went like “whatever” and walked in. He’s probably not important.

As it turned out, no one brought anything to make lunch. So we went to town and looked around. We went to this place to have roast chicken and fried potatoes. My grandpa complained about the volume of the TV, and they lowered the volume like half an hour later. :3

Anyway, after that we went to the beach and sat for a while. The ocean was nice... I don’t know what to say about it, it’s pretty much the same ocean whenever I look at it There wasn’t much else to see, besides kids and other random people hanging around, and salesmen, and this one guy with a llama/alpaca/whatever, and this canopy thing, and a ship in the sea. Not much to see.

We then walked around and went to this place where they have a bunch of tiny stores next to each other (like a fair or something? I dunno what you call it) and my mom made me look through a bunch of Mario posters.

My grandparents then split up to go back to the House, while me and my mom still hanged around. We were walking, and she suddenly tripped and fell on her knee. :/ At least nothing happened to her, besides bruising her knee.

Then we went to the supermarket to get bread and some things to eat lunch tomorrow.

And now we’re back at the House/Cabin/Whatever. This day hasn’t exactly been too lucky for us (especially my mom), maybe we should spend the rest of the day here now. But I’m pretty sure they’ll want to go out somewhere later.

Quote of the Day: “When you fall, you fall.” ~Grandpa, probably refering to the meaning of existence

Fun fact: The police here is called Carabineros, which can be translated as Carbineers. This is because when they first were founded they used Carbines. Now they don’t, they usually use nightsticks and a sidearm. The special operations group does use more weapons though. They wear a green uniform.

Fun Fact #2: There’s a town here that’s called Lolol.

Day Two: show

Day Two ~ February 22, 2014
Sticky Hair

Somewhere around 14:00 – 15:00

I might as well talk about our epic nighttime adventures...

There was a show in the square, with a stage, lights and a screen and tons of people watching. They were picking the Beach Queen. There were like 10 girls up there, and they marched around in bikinis. I was too far away to get a good look though.

Then this singer came around. She was one of these bass type of singers, maybe MP3 can know what that range is better She sang like, soul-type songs and whatnot, and she was also kind of funny, in a forced kind of way It was still nice.

Also that singer probably failed geometry, she said she would do a 180° spin then did a full spin.

Afterwards, we’re back to the Beach Queen thing. They started asking random questions to them, like What’s the best thing about this Beach? or What do you think of this new law? or whatever. There some fail answers, and a lot of the girls decided to start their answer by sucking up to the town hall and the organizers and greeting the audience and saying how good this night was and the place and the organization and this whole experience and then they gave a really short answer. xD

Then this stand up comedian came along. We laughed a lot The dude was quite funny. There were a couple of jokes that were kinda old, but we laughed anyway because of the way the guy told them. You know that feeling?

And then, the finale of the whole Queen thing, which apparently had been going on for a long while before we even got here The former Queen showed up with her fancy tiara and whatnot and she gave it to the new Queen.

And then I got sad because somehow I got something into my mind about how there’s so much people younger than me that have already achieved so much and I felt I was worthless and whatnot, depressing stuff. But then I thought of my family and my friends and you guys and whatnot and I cheered up.

...that lasted for like 5 minutes. xD Shortest depression ever.

Then my mom got me a cotton candy and somehow I managed to get some of it on her hair. And she was kind of upset. :3

I went to bed at like 1 AM or later, and woke up like, at 9 or something. But I ignored by internal clock and decided to just keep sleeping a bit more until 10 or so. Then I got breakfast and had a shower and got dressed and stuff.

Also, since then I had a pain in my shoulder... most likely due to the speedbump. Eh.

Then we went out to put more money into my grandparents’ cellphones and then we bought empanadas for lunch (those are like... mass with stuff inside them. Dunno how to describe it, but it’s good).

There was this sign in the place where we recharged the phones. Apparently there was this guy who was wanted by the police for killing a cop, mugging and something else. There was his picture and like 8 other pictures which suggested other ways he might look... this guy is probably not important either.

And we’re back here. So that. We’ll probably go out again later or something. Also, there’s one more show tonight it seems.

Quote of the Night: “You can pierce each and every inch of your junk! Some people put piercings ON their piercings! Some people put piercings ON THEIR EYES!” ~Nan, discussing the crazy things some people do

Fun Fact: There’s a circuit for these 4-wheeled motorcycles in this Beach. I’ve been there a few times in the past, and I’ve done quite well there. I once came here with my mom and some friends from her work. I just speeded past everyone no problem, but then I noticed there was a woman with her baby on a bike, and I wouldn’t be able to dodge it so I slowed down and slowed down and slowed down... I was going at like 2 mph when I crashed into her. And we still felt it. :3 Nothing happened though.

21:35

Sometime in the afternoon we went to walk on the beach with mom and grandma. And by walking on the beach we mean walking right next to the sea, where the waves went through you getting you all wet. I just looked around and tried to power through the shivering cold in my feet. Because this water is freezing cold. For me at least, for some reason there’s tons of people who go into the water no problem (especially when there’s a red flag indicating to not swim. In those times there’s more people in the water, obviously). Also, in the way we ran into some woman mom seemed to know from work, and her daughter. Who apparently I know. I dunno.

Then we sat on the sand for a long while. I just... sat there. Looking around, at the waves, at the people, at the girls (This doesn’t count as cheating, right MP3? Please don’t hate me, I was really really bored ) and whatnot, while my grandma and mom taled about whatever.

Then we got up, went to the supermarket to get toothbrushes for them because they had forgotten to bring them and some of this liquid sugar thing, then we went somewhere else to get bread. And we walked for a while until we got back at the House.

I washed my feet to get sand off them and whatnot and then we had tea. Aaaaaand now I’m back in my room. Most likely the people here will want to go to the finale of the whole show thing that has been going on (apparently it was like a week of shows) in a while. So yeah. I’ll probably write again tomorrow.

Quote of the Day:
“Tourists always have the preference when crossing. Tourists being from the country. Other people are just foreigners.”
“From Foreignland!”
~Mom and Nan discussing international traffic laws

Fun Fact: Looking at girls isn’t fun at all when your mom tells you to do it.

Fun Fact #2: Yesterday I started playing TloZ: The Minish Cap here in my laptop. It seems fun so far. ^_^

Day Three: show

Day Three ~ February 23, 2014
Up all night for good fun

11:25

Like the legend of the phoenix... *gets shot*

Last night when we arrived there was a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge amount of people. Like, thousands. I dunno. Wherever you looked there was a ton of people

We surfed through that sea of people until we got around the middle. We weren’t really close to the stage, but we were closer than the thousand people behind us at least.

And so we saw the end of a local folk artist, and then came along a spanish singer who sang romantic songs. It was nice I guess, I could sing along with some songs. And with my mom next to me we started like swinging our arms and stuff. xD

Then, along came a band who played like... I don’t know what they played but it was quite dance-y and stuff, so we started doing something kinda like dance moves? I dunno, we waved our arms back and forth and stuff... for a long while. I was pretty tired by the end of everything.

Got here, got milk, got to bed.

Now we’re starting to get up I guess... Wi-fi still doesn’t work, seems to be a password problem... The shower’s hot water seems to not be working well today, so I might have to shower with cold water, I don’t know xD but I hope that’s fixed already.

Quote of the Night: “Check out how far the light of my flashlight goes!” ~Grandma while pointing her flashlight in the direction of a nightclub’s light beacon in the sky

Fun Fact: Probably happens in other places too, you know the Laser Dudes? The dudes who are always there in the audience of a show, with a green laser, pointing at the sky, at balloons, at random buildings, and at the eyes of the people performing on stage (that thing can leave people blind, not a good idea). Apparently they are not aware that green lasers are supposed to be used for astronomical purposes.

...we’re up all night to get luc-, we’re of all night to ge- *robot voice*

13:53

Well I didn’t shower.

Anyway, my mom suddenly decided to go out, and took me along for the ride. We just walked around the city, looking at stuff.

We went to this museum (small museum) where they displayed, well, old stuff. From the time the city was founded and whatnot. Old bills and coins, you name it. And furniture. Lots of chairs. And a fainting couch! They wouldn’t let you sit on it though. :3

Then we walked around a park next to the museum, and from there we could se a bunch of people skateboarding. There was a pool, and... a basketball court with a bunch of random obstacles placed there, like a rail and a couple slopes. Quite a makeshift skatepark you got there. :3 Complete with a girl learning to skate, a girl with one of these tiny boards just messing around really, a guy bailing, and a bunch of drunk people in a tent next to the place. And a guy making a campfire. And a random old man.

Because at least a quarter of the young population here is either drunk or high. No joke. The PDI (Investigation Police) always hangs around the streets at all times.

So yeah, then we went to this artisan fair where we looked at random souvenirs, this spot where they sould medicinal herbs, this place where they sold books on all kinds of subjects! Black magic, white magic, red magic, blue magic, green magic... you want to become a Final Fantasy mage, these guys got you covered xD Anyway, we bought some chocolates then we went to the supermarket and bought humitas (it’s... corn... with spices and things... I dunno) for lunch.

Now I’m back home, they’re probably making salad now or something.

Quote of the Midday: “They don’t really sell books here to... read...”
“They sell books on MAGIC! And sex. Lots of sex. And magic sex too, probably”.
~Mom and Nan discussing artisan literature

Fun Fact: The PDI (Policía de Investigaciones = Investigation Police) is a Police force separate from Carabineros which is dedicated to doing detective stuff, pretty much. Looking into gangs and bands of criminals, going undercover, stopping people from selling drugs, finding murderers and whatnot. Being from this Police is significantly more dangerous than being a regular cop I’d say. Their uniform and logo are blue. They probably don’t wear it when undercover I guess

21:00

So everyone took a nap while I played The Minish Cap. After people were done napping, they suddenly decided to go out.

We walked around town and bought bread and some cake we ate right there. :3 Then my grandparents went back to the House to leave the bread. In the meantime my mom and I wandered along the avenue, then took a detour through a foresty semi abandoned area, and somehow ended up on the other side of town. Then we looked at the beach for a while, then regrouped with the grandparents around there.

Then we got to the 4-wheeled motorcycle circuit. And I decided to take a ride. >:D

I hadn’t been on one of these in a long while, but I knew how to drive it right away. I speeded through the course no problem, getting past everyone. ^_^ I kinda like doing that. I would like to have an actual race in a course like this sometime...

My mom tried to record it with her phone, but failed.

And we’re back here. Dunno what to say now. We had tea, I ate a piece of bread with avocado and another one with peach jam or something.

Oh yeah, a kid from the house next to ours had left a ball in our roof, and I got it.

Nothing else to say.

Quote of the Day: Nothing, not a damn thing. xD No noteworthy things were said.

Fun Fact: I rode a 160 cc four-wheeled bike. :3

Fun Fact #2: Today I wore a Luigi cap and a Super Mario Bros t-shirt. And a hoodie left unzipped and half covering the cap. When I was walking around, a kid just stared at me for a bit.

Fun Fact #3: Ever since I got here I’ve seen around 3 kids wearing MLP shirts. And I find that awesome.

Fun Fact #4: Ever since I got here I’ve seen way too many people wearing Minecraft shirts, Creeper hats, and seen a lot of places where they sell Minecraft merch. I find that awesome and weird at the same time. Minecraft is hitting the mainstream...

Day Four: show

Day Four ~ February 24, 2014
Add a pinch of salt

Interesting dreams today. Apparently some version of Dragon Ball Z where there are eight Dragon Balls now, and Goku has to collect them all by fighting all the villains in the series AND the movies (it’s weird to see Broly, Bojack, and Frieza charging at you at the same time xD), and somewhere along the line he judo-throws a building, and then the Mythbusters try to fight something and Jamie loses both arms, and then I had to find a bathroom and somehow I ended up doing my business in a toilet whose walls and door just disappeared and a kid was there watching and going like “stop that”.

...Why do I dream that I’m in the toilet and there’s people watching me? :/

I haven’t been sleeping particularly well I think, when I wake up I feel sorta tired and want to continue sleeping. I dunno. Maybe that’s just me being lazy.

Or genuinely tired. I have been walking a lot lately. And jumping. And stuff.

Today the shower didn’t work well either, so I just got dressed. But then when I got dressed my grandpa got it to work. Bummer.

So yeah suddenly everyone wanted to go out, and we did. We went to this spot WE ALWAYS GO TO when we are at this Beach, it’s a salt mine in the next town (salt mine is the correct term right?).

When we got there I ran around the salt pools and whatnot, there were some narrow paths between each pool, and I got near a river nearby, and stepped in some spongy plants and got my feet all wet. And they had mud. And salt. And my pants too. And my socks. :/

Anyway then I felt like climbing onto a ship thing that was nearby but at the end I didn’t.

Then we bought some empanadas and marched back home, because we’ll do anything to not cook lunch xD In the way we ate them. I ate mine pretty quick, despite it being hot. I’m kinda used to eating hot things right away.

When we were nearby we were faced with our greatest challenge yet:

The Slope.

See, when we first get into the place we are now there’s a really steep slope you have to go down in the car. And it’s hard.

So this time, we tried to take another slope there was, which wasn’t as steep.

After going the wrong way on a street and almost getting chewed out by another driver, we tried to find our way to that other slope. I mistakenly said the street wasn’t there yet and we missed it. I got yelled at. :3

So now we got here, I tried to take off mud and salt off my shoes, then gave up and just left them there, threw my pants and socks into our dirty clothes bag (we got bagz for everything! :3 Star king would be so proud xD), got into another pair of shoes and now I’m here.

Grandma seems to be preparing soup now. Apparently the empanadas weren’t enough this time.

Quote of the Day so far: “Look at those trees. I don’t remember what they were called... they only grow in two places, in those hills and somewhere over there...”
“Trees. They’re called trees”.
~Grandma and Nan discussing the local flora

Fun Fact: It’s been a long time since people started using salt to spice food, but truth is, salt isn’t very good for your health. Myself, I try to not eat too much of it. I eat eggs without salt. :3

20:15

I watched Iron Man 3 in my laptop. It was the only Marvel Cinematic Universe movie I hadn’t seen yet (the second Captain America movie isn’t out yet right?) and I really liked it. It was way beyond awesome. Oh yeah, by the way,

###SPOILERS ALERT###

Don't highlight the following paragraphs unless you want to get spoiled.

The battle with all of the Iron Man suits appearing... awesome. And the fact that Tony Stark spends at least half the movie without a suit on, performing acts of unspeakable badass. And creating a bunch of random weapons with stuff he got from a hardware store. :3

One thing I didn’t quite get though, if someone did let me know: Exactly why the heck did Killian want to kill the President? What did he get from that exactly?

Also, the way this movie ends makes me wonder what will Iron Man’s participation in the second Avengers movie be like, cconsidering all of his suits, well, blew up. Not to mention his yet another change of heart... stuff. Literal change of heart.

###END SPOILERS###

Then my mom and I went for another walk around the beach and whatnot... the wind was quite cold.

...Nothing else of interest really happened...

Quote of the morning I forgot: “Rolling downstairs... rolling downstairs...” Grandpa making reference to my awesome style of going down stairs, inspired by The Minish Cap

Fun Fact: I like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So far all the movies are awesome. Except maybe the Captain America one. It was good, but it didn’t seem to be as awesome as the rest for some reason.

Day Five: show

Day Five ~ February 25, 2014
Red Alert

Last night we played Uno, the four of us ^_^ It was awesome. It was like the Ultimate Uno Showdown, I mean, the rounds lasted forever, people went Uno and then they inmediately got a bunch of cards. I won one round and Grandpa won another, and then we stopped to watch an argentinian humorist in the Viña del Mar Festival on TV. He was cool. :3

Today at around 7 AM, I was awakened by a siren.

Long, loud siren.

I got up right away, and put on my hoodie and grabbed some things. We’re right next to a beach you know.

And then we saw a giant tidal wave with crashed into us and we died. The End.






lol jk

As it turned out it was just the Fire Department. It was still quite freaking scary, I mean, it didn’t sound like your regular Fire Department siren, it lasted for like a minute or so and was very loud. I was ready to run for the hills darn it Xd

And so I went back to sleep for a while somehow.

Then I took a shower for the first time in days. :3 They managed to fix the shower last night.

And now we’re here. Dunno what we’ll do.


For the record I’m allowed to joke about tsunamis I’m chilean we had that earthquake back in 2010 with tsunamis along the shoreline and whatnot so yeah we suffered we’re back on our feet though I guess and somehow and stuff


Damn. The siren just sounded again. This time is because it’s midday though.

We should ask what’s the tsunami warning here though.

No Quote yet.

Fun Fact: The International Viña del Mar Festival is hosted everyday in ~you guessed~ Viña del Mar here in Chile, where artists (musicians, dancers...) from all over the world come to compete. They also bring guests, like singers, comedians and whatnot to perform.

Fun Fact #2: Here in Chile in most places the Fire Department siren goes off at midday (12:00). I have no idea why. xD In Santiago (the capital) instead they fire a cannon. Hilarity ensues when foreigners think we’re being bombed or something. :3

Fun Fact #3: Yes, here in Chile the Fire Department has a siren that goes off whenever there’s a fire (to call the firemen I guess). If you ever come to Chile and hear a siren, don’t run for the bunkers.

...By the way this one siren was way longer and louder than we had heard before, that’s why we thought it was some kind of special warning.

Oh yeah, since I’m talking about Firemen,

Fun Fact #4: Firemen in Chile are volunteers. They work for free.

...firemen are freaking heroes.

16:25

I have a massive headache right now. Xd Might be the sun, or hunger, or whatever. I dunno. I just ate lunch though, maybe this status ailment will wear off in a while.

I went for yet another walk around the beach, with mom and grandma. We sat on the beach for a while once again. And then we went to buy vegetables and fruit. Then back here.

...yeah nothing much.

Quote of the Day: “We’re going now, and you’re gonna carry your toys because I’m not!”
“Why should I, they’re not mine.”
“What do you mean they’re not yours?”
“You bought them.”
A random mother and son on the beach. The kid uses some Insane Troll Logic right there

Day Six: show

Day Six ~ February 26, 2014
Why

Well yesterday we went for another walk in the afternoon. This time we went down a path to another area of the city, where there was this small lake with ducks, and the sea looked beautiful from there, and there was this small church and whatnot, the place was nice. It was relaxing I guess, there was no one else there besides us. It was a great view. Around there also was an old train station which is now used as a tourism center because trains don’t come this way anymore (there’s like one or two pieces of rail laying around), and a bridge with some railings missing on the left side.

We came back and watched the Festival again while playing Uno. Also apparently I’m at my best when I’m not paying attention to the game somehow xD

Last night’s comedian was downright awful. It was this guy who... well... sang pieces of songs with changed lyrics and did some changes in costume every now and then... well...

It sucked. So much.

I watched and I was like Oh dear Luna how the hell did they even let this guy show up here. The whole concept is terrible. I mean, maybe for some random TV show it could be ok, but this is the Viña del Mar Festival! Just why?

I got up my chair and just went to the second floor and laid face down on my bed because I just couldn’t comprehend the extent to which this guy failed.

Because he failed hard. Almost the whole audience was booing him. I say almost because there’s always a few who cheer on whoever’s on stage no matter what. Like, personal Elite Beat Agents. These guys ompletely sucked at osu! though. :3

He got no awards at all, of course. He was kicked out mid-performance.

I don’t know if I should feel bad for the guy. But then again, the guy knew pretty damn well what he was getting into. And his brand of humor just doesn’t belong on this kind of show.

Oh yeah I might also mention that yesterday I woke up and I had been stung by a mosquito in the face, hand, arm, leg... >_< pretty annoying. But last night we found that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and crushed him against a wall. We know it was that mosquito because it was full of blood. :3 There’s rarely any bugs around here, despite a couple of flies...

...so I didn’t get attacked by bugs this night.

So yeah, woke up, breakfast, shower. Dunno what else might come today.

...I should try putting on my swimming trunks one of these days and get into the sea. A lot of these days it has actually been sorta cloudy though. The sun might shine today though, I guess.

Fun Fact: The Festival has these awards, is order from worst to best: the Silver Torch, the Golden Torch, the Silver Seagull and the Golden Seagull. In the past the Torches were for the guests and only the competitors could get Seagulls. However, after a certain singer called Raphael (or Rafael? I don’t remember what he goes by) refused to leave the stage without a Seagull (and cheered on by the audience) and generated some controversy and debate and whatnot, guests now can get all of the four awards.
I believe there’s a fifth prize for the competitors, which is like a Diamond Seagull or something, I don’t recall... And there’s also the Golden Copihue, a prize given by people’s choice to a guest.

Fun Fact 2: The Copihue is our national flower. ^_^ It’s red and... stuff. There’s also white ones. ...I don’t know much about the Copihue really, you’re better off looking it up xD

15:35

We went to have lunch to this place which used to be a chinese restaurant, but now it’s just a regular restaurant. It still has a lot of the chinese decoration though. :3

On the way back, I bought this wool jacket thing with a hood. It’s white with big red stripes, and has details in yellow, green, blue, and pink. It looks nice.

At the House, Grandpa lectured me on how back on his day I would have been bullied to death for wearing something like that xD But that I looked good, and now there was gender equality and whatnot.

Later we’re going to the Other Beach. Uhh... it’s another beach where surfers go because it has higher waves and stuff. It’s cool.

Me not naming places was gonna get confusing at some point.

My grandparents and mom now went to a fair somewhere nearby. I’m just gonna hang here. I don’t feel like going.

No quotes or fun facts. I don’t know what to say anymore.

23:42

Because of the weather, we didn’t go to the Other Beach. In fact, we look at the sky and it looks like the weather might actually get worse. 

A while ago we went to check out a “Waiter Race”, an event where waiters from many local restaurants raced against each other, running down a street while carrying a plate with a bottle and glasses in one hand and a handkerchief in the other arm. You drop anything, you lose right away.

It was kinda fun to see waiters dropping their stuff while running. :3 There were also some dudes who managed to run quite freaking fast while carrying everything.

We’re back here now. Hope today’s comedian at the Viña del Mar Festival isn’t a complete disappointment.

Fun Fact: I saw a real life Angry Birds game today. :3 You have a big slingshot you use to shoot Angry Bird plushies to a pyramid of cans with pictures of the pigs from the games on them. You had 5 shots. You could win a prize if you left up to 2 standing. There was also a surprize reward if you managed to knock off just one. I wonder... Maybe I should have tried playing that

Day Seven: show

Day Seven ~ February 27, 2014
Happy Earthquake Anniversary

10:58

Yeah, the 2010 earthquake was 4 years ago right now.

...and they still ain’t done rebuilding the country. Way to go, government.

Anyway, there was no comedian last night, just singers.

Today I woke up, breakfast, shower, same as always.

...Also I just realized that a lot of times when I start writing the day I don’t write the time. Just assume that it’s around midday. Most of the first writings are from around that time.

Day’s cloudy. I wonder what will happen.

Fun Fact: Ezlo, the cap from The Minish Cap... it really reminds me of Xero for some reason.

19:30

...I don’t feel like talking about all that happened right now. Maybe I’ll write something later.

But long story short, we went to the Other Beach, I got into the water (finally), invented the sport of Wavejumping (still a work in progress, might put up some rules somewhere), got pissed off at the others because of them always asking questions where my answer doesn’t really seem to matter at the end, and now we’re back.

Sometimes I feel I don’t have any control over the events that happen around me.

I don’t like that feeling at all.

Day Eight: show

Day Eight ~ February 28, 2014
At Summer’s End

Well yeah, to better cover the events of yesterday, after getting into the water, I was called back and apparently my mom was sorta afraid because I was too far in, which I really wasn’t. Then, a discussion started as to whether I wanted to go back into the water or not, and at the same time my grandpa had TAKEN THE BAGS WITH THE EXTRA CLOTHES ON THEM to the car (which was quite faraway), because apparently no one was gonna get wet or something, and then I ended up in the water again, and then there was a discussion about whether or not I should change my clothes, I was just sorta pissed off because they seemed to be taking decisions about me without asking for my input, I mean I would say something then they would ask again, it’s like those games where they ask you a thing but you are forced to say Yes. It’s annoying.

I did call them out on that though.

Anyway, today we’re probably gonna hit the beach in the afternoon. Mom and Grandma left for a while, they’ll probably be back with something to have lunch.

Also, I’m stuck in The Minish Cap. Absurd puzzle. >_<

20:26

Well that puzzle was actually pretty simple. :3 Has it happened to you that you look at a puzzle and spend a long time looking at it before you figure out it’s actually quite easy? Because it’s happened to me

So yeah, I watched Kickass 2 in my laptop. It was cool.

###SPOILERS AHEAD###

Do not highlight the following paragraphs if you don't want them.

I find it kind of a bummer that Kickass’ girlfriend just randomly breaks up with him because he MIGHT be cheating on her, which he isn’t. Just based on something Hit-Girl says. Which could be about anything.

Also, the girls at the High School... Is it true that there are girls as –forgive me I couldn’t find a better word- ♥♥♥♥♥ as those girls? I mean, in your northamerican (I still refuse to refer to the US as America, America is a big continent :3) series and movies they always have these girls who are some serious ♥♥♥♥♥, I mean what’s up with that? Does that really happen that much?

Personally I haven’t really encountered that kind of girl... I believe... At most I’ve seen in the news girls beating the hell out of each other in some schools, but besides that...

Also, I was kinda down when Mother Russia was killed. I kinda liked that character for some reason. xD

###END SPOILERS###

Later we went to the Beach. ^_^ Just sat there, walked around in the water (I swear I’m gonna learn how to swim properly some day), ate some churros, and stuff.

There where to waves to Wavejump though.

Also, at some point there was a guy dressed up as Alien walking around, pulling people’s legs every now and then.

I have to say his costume was freaking awesome. The mask, or more like a big head really, was so detailed... he also did this whistle sound every now and then. Awesome cosplay. :3

There was also another dude dressed up as some random monster I couldn’t identify. Doing the same thing. Is there some kind of monster cosplayers convention that I don’t know of?

Back here, my back hurts, my butt hurts, my legs hurt... xD I’ve had enough vacationing I guess. At least it was a good last day, and I’d say it was a good week. Not much resting really, but still xD

I don’t know if I’ll write tomorrow before we go, so... yeah.

Fun Fact: I still feel Ezlo from the Minish Cap is Xero. “You’re so energetic all the time...”, “Your hair looks like a rat’s nest! As long as I’m up here no one will need to know, you can thank me later”, “I need some exercise, why don’t you climb onto my head?” and other random stuff.

Fun Fact #2: Xero will either find the first Fact interesting, laugh at it, or get annoyed because I’m saying Ezlo is like him. Eh, whatever...

Fun Fact #3: Mario Party Advance isn’t very fun. If you haven’t played it, you aren’t missing that much.

Fun Fact #4: When I get back home, there’s going to be like a thousands notifications from Facebook waiting for me. xD

There were actually 99 something notifications in Facebook when I got back home. xD

I got kicked out of Runouw Survivor.

Well, what do you do?

Nothing much to say... I'm gonna try to start studying before I get to college.

[NanTheDark]

Not much has happened lately... but I'm going back to college on monday. That should make for interesting things to say.

New Game

Day 1.

Well, today I woke up real early once again to go to college. It's a pain really, but what can I do.

After dealing with the issues of public transportation and taxis never passing, I made it there. I found my classmates there, and Inuzuka, that one friend who plays TF2 with me in real life (the one I got Premium for! ^_^ Harmless, SK, MegaR and someone else, I still owe you those drawings)... or at least used to, his computer broke :/ But oh well. I showed him the beauty of the new game I got, Super Hexagon And after a bit we went together to see if I could take courses.

Because...

Every semester they do this teacher evaluation thing, which is a poll about how good are our teachers. If you don't answer it, the system screws you over and you can't take courses for the next semester. And that sucks. To take the courses I have to deal with some paperwork and whatnot. However they weren't doing it today, I gotta do it tomorrow.

So I ran into old friends Juni, Oscar, and CorPerk who just sat somewhere nearby not paying attention to anyone as usual And newcomers Kazuto and Pato, both friends of mine.

So yeah, we discussed the issue of the "mechoneo", which is pretty much... err.... humilliating the new guys. In extreme ways. A thing that's done in pretty much all universities here in Chile. >_< I'm against it, been campaigning against it, and we're having a meeting on Wednesday to discuss this crap. Even when the school itself has forbidden us from doing it, there's still people wanting to do it and I don't understand why the hell why. Oh well. Humans are dumb sometimes. At least I got a few friends here in the career backing me up.

Also I tested FEZ, a game Brando gave me. It's awesome.

We spent a good while trying to figure out where to go because we didn't have any schedules and I didn't have any definitive stuff. So we ended up going to my section of Linear Algebra, which, as it turned out, had a different teacher than advertised because the other teacher pretty much, uh, died. Either he resigned or was fired, I don't freaking know.

So yeah, Linear Algebra, I once again learned about matrices. The basics. No problem there. I actually kinda liked the way this teacher taught.

Then in the same room, same teacher, Calculus. He handed us the semester schedule and stuff, then the class was over.






For real, that was like 15 minutes at most.

So we came back to the tables and Juni was there, and we decided to play Mario Party 3. The Ultimate Friendship Destroyer, Third Edition.

Anyway, even though me and Juni got bonus stars at the end and whatnot, CPU Mario won.

The most raging parts are that Mario got TWO stars via Hidden Blocks, and at the end the three of us had the same amount of stars. Juni had 20 something coins, I had 77 coins... and Mario had 79. Freaking two coin difference. xD

So yeah, we had lunch, noodles and meat. Really hard to cut meat. Especially since we don't get real knives to cut it. xD (That's entirely justified though)

Then we went on to Physics class. Different teacher than last semester. I'll just call him the Wizard. Because he once did some magic tricks in the middle of a presentation in the first semester.

The Wizard's kinda slow at talking, at to be honest the first class wasn't too productive. Besides roughly getting groups ready for the Lab lessons and figuring out a schedule, all we learned were some basics about the meaning of science, apparently. Also I was the only one talking back to him and by the way he replied I sometimes felt he thought I was some kind of retard or something. >_<

Anyway, that was it, came back home after dealing with public transportation again, been lazy for a while, I'm like mentally tired, I dunno...

That's it for a first day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. And I'll actually be on the freaking system. xD

Quote of the Day:
Nan: "For real, if it turns out FEZ didn't save, I'm gonna beat up everyone here!"
Big Guy: "Everyone? Alright..." *cracks knuckles*
Nan: "...only if it didn't save."

[Harmless]

And then, auto save every 1 minute.

Pierce the Dragons with your Code

Today in the morning I looked at the moon and I somehow found it to look like a Yin Yang symbol.



I dunno...

We had this class today, a course called Methods of... something. Programming methods. Something like that. Well, today we did the most computer thing I've done so far.

We built a tower of lego bricks. :3

We split into groups to build lego towers. Whoever had the most stable and tallest tower would win. So yeah, my group made a neat looking tower thing with a strange base and stuff... they might have rushed some stuff, but it was mighty tall, taller than another tower from a rival group

So yeah, to see if it was stable everyone else had to blow wind at the tower to see if it fell. While our tower was stable, it couldn't handle being blown by 10 people at the same time. xD They had to make an effort to take it down, though.

As it turned out, the only tower that survived was our rival group's. BUT OUR TOWER WAS STILL TALLER!

So yeah this somehow taught us about methods. Of working. And stuff.

We march to the next one, Programming... paradigms. Something like that.

We open hearing the tale of this Medieval Knight, who is commanded to go kill a dragon and save a princess. And he has a choice of weapons, like a sword, poison, a gun (I was gonna ask how can a Medieval Knight have a gun, but the teacher ninja'd me on that xD) and a wooden spoon. So yeah, apparently when you're a programmer and you have to slay a dragon, you have to know which weapon to use.

Also he gave us this. While I comfortably read it on my laptop the teacher awkwardly translated some of it to the students. (Read it if you like, even if you don't know programming it's kinda fun to read xD)

This teacher is totally not a complete gamer geek. xD

So yeah... I went to lunch alone because the guys were stuck playing LoL (they didn't have lunch xD) and now I'm back. Dunno what else to say.

Quotes of the Day so far:

"Our tower's still taller than yours!" ~ Nan, about how tower stability doesn't matter

"I wanted to build a pyramid." ~ CorPerk, refusing to accept the superiority of towers

"Why don't we mix the Beast Killer Sword with the Poison?" ~ Nan on using two programming languages at once

"How does the Knight use the Poison?"
"The poison's like a Final Fantasy Ether, you throw it."
"Wouldn't that make the dragon recover MP?"
Nan and best teacher discussing dragon killing while the other students laugh their rear off
