Birthday Party And Other Stuff!

I'M BAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't blog for a while. I just... didn't feel like it. I have 3 posts planned for August after this, because for two weeks I'll be busy... hey, I've got more ideas! But I probably won't post 'em. Anyway....

My birthday! On May 31st, my grandparents took me out to dinner, as well as two stores! One I spent way more time in. And I got all this!
The first store I went to was Walmart, and I got one thing: a Pokemon Torchic plush! The second store I went to was Gamestop, and one of the things I got there was a Pokemon Pancham plush!
And I have two new amiibos! Charizard and Jigglypuff!
'
And lastly, I got a bunch of 3DS styluses!
And that's it for that. In June, I had a huge birthday party! I've been planning for it for a long time! A lot of friends came, and we all had fun! We ate a dinner of sausage sauce spaghetti, we played Picture Telephone, and we played a Smash tournament! That was epic.
But the big thing I'm showing you is what I got for gifts!













First, I'll show you that I got a $30 American Express gift card as well as a $20 Nintendo eShop gift card and 25 other dollars in bills! What did I spend this money on? I'll tell you in my next post, My Room Showcase #2! And you can count on that existing! Just... in August. Aaaanyway, I also got some Ice Cubes gum and squirt guns!

A Mario and Mewtwo amiibo!



Super Mario Maker and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes! Super Mario Maker is just what it sounds like, a game where you make Super Mario Bros. levels! LEGO Marvel Super Heroes... It's okay. But hey! It's the thought that counts!
A Pokemon Umbreon plush!
And lastly, some nice earbuds and... Tomodachi Life! This game I've been addicted to for about a month now. It didn't last, but it was fun while it did! This is a game where you can bring Miis together to live in a big building of apartments, and you have everyone you want living together, like Zelda, Luke Skywalker, Donald Trump and other people!
Here are some funny moments from this past month.
Well, in conclusion, I had a really fun birthday, and I got really nice gifts. See ya next time!

Early Birthday Fun!

Around a week ago, I went to my dad's house to celebrate my birthday! ...Even though it was over a week away then... and we had fun! I got some nice , like a Star Wars kite

a Star Wars puzzle

and... A GOPRO HERO SESSION!!!!!!!! Jealous? I hope not, jealousy's not good... This is an awesome camera, with 1080p quality, waterproofness, mobile device compatibility, and other awesome stuff.

We did some things like watch Youtube videos, film with my GoPro, and we had a nice lunch of spaghetti with sausage sauce! A while after that, we ate some ice cream cake! I was going to light the candles with a lighter, being about 16 and all, but I got a teeeeeeeeeensy bit burned. So I used a lit candle. (the following pic is taken by the GoPro, by the way!)

And my grandma gave me a card that had $10 in it, so.... I FINISHED SAVING UP FOR A >NEW< 3DS XL!!!!! Yeah!!! I bought a used one on Ebay after I got home for $147.24. Here it is! It is really awesome. Not only does it have bigger screens, but it has a few extra controls, faster processing power and amiibo support!

This was an awesome day, an awesome visit, and awesome gifts! I can't wait to tell you about the rest of my birthday fun! See ya!

12 Days of Christmas! Day 12: Christmas 2015!

Today, Sophie woke me up early. After everyone got up, we opened stockings. Along with candy and things, I got a cute stout little Kylo Ren plush, which talks if you press his chest!

a pair of BB-8 socks, which match my BB-8 shirt,

and a Finn action figure! My dad suggested to keep it in its box so it can increase value (although my mom says that'll be probably in 40 years)
After that, we decided to attempt to sit through the entire Star Wars Holiday Special, and it was so bad... it was entertaining! After less than an hour of watching, we ate breakfast, which was pancakes, and then we went to opening presents! I got a Pokemon Deluxe Essential Handbook, which is basically a physical Pokedex in alphabetical order!
The Beatrice Letters by Lemony Snicket, which is an intriguing A Series of Unfortunate Events spinoff!
a Star Wars: The Force Awakens soundtrack!
a Star Wars Trivia Game, which tests your Star Wars knowledge and is quite fun!
a Japanese Shulk amiibo, which is sold out at retail stores but is sold for more at online stores, plus it's awesome!
and the best one of all... a pre-order to a digital copy of the movie... STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! I get to own my favorite Star Wars movie in spring 2016! This also comes with a few cool posters, too!

After that, we finished the Holiday Special. And when that was over, we played the Star Wars Trivia Game, and we had a lot of fun! After our game, we made a new version of the game where we play only one aspect and put it to elimination!

After that, we played some Smash, and then we finished Tomorrowland. I would say that movie is pretty positive. And we played a lot more Smash. That was fun. We cleaned up, and they left. It felt like the day was finished, even at around 5, when I started this post. But the festivities don't end today! Tomorrow, I am going to see my dad, and he's got more gifts to unwrap, and we will have fun! Merry Christmas!

On the 12th day of Christmas, these things happened to me:
Christmas came,
Christmas Eve came, 
I did a White Elephant gift exchange,
we made Christmas sweets, 
I went caroling at a nursing home
I went to Andrew's party,
I saw The Force Awakens again...
I WENT CAROLING!
I watched The Force Awakens,
I went to Wednesday homegroup
I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
and I made Christmas card art with glee!

12 Days of Christmas! Day 11: Christmas Eve!

Today I woke up from my accidentally 7:30-set alarm. It was Christmas Eve! I played some Smash, and cleaned up a few things. After surfing the internet, mom left and I wasn't supposed to use it while she was gone. I was told to clean up some more things. We were looking forward to my brothers and grandparents coming over early, but mom said they were busy and needed to come at 3:00 instead. Oh. But even more Oh. was that they had to come at 4:00 instead. Okay, I was verbally disappointed there, but it's 4:12 as I am writing this. So while I was waiting, Sophie and I listened to some Adventures in Odyssey episodes while playing a game we invented. Also, mom wrapped some gifts and put 'em down under the tree. Now I have some more Christmas Spirit in me! Bope, now Andrew and Isaiah are here! Charles and grandparents will be here later. And then they came! We had a lot of fun. First, we ate dinner. Then, we went to the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at 7 PM! After that, we opened some gifts from Grammie and Grandpa! I got a BB-8 T-shirt,

A LEGO Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Buildable Figure,

3 things of beef jerky, (which two of them I ate)

and a Gamestop gift card!

After that, we did a Yankee Swap! You know what I got a few days ago? An Anikan's lightsaber toy! And I ended up with it!

After my grandparents left, Isaiah wanted to watch The Phantom Menace digitally, but mom didn't want to, and we couldn't purchase movies on our Wii U. Mom wanted to watch Tomorrowland, which was at Redbox, so Andrew went there. And they wanted me to watch it, so I reluctantly agreed. I can't say I enjoyed it just yet, because it's 1:15 in the morning and I should stop this. It was a good day today. Goodnight. Merry Christmas!

On the 11th day of Christmas, these things happened to me:
Christmas Eve came, 
I did a White Elephant gift exchange,
we made Christmas sweets, 
I went caroling at a nursing home
I went to Andrew's party,
I saw The Force Awakens again...
I WENT CAROLING!

12 Days of Christmas! Day 7: Andrew's Party!

Yesterday, we went to church. Yeah. We did absolutely nothing before that. Yes we did. But they are not worth noting. The pastor's message was partially not what I wanted to hear, but powerful. Then again, life isn't always what you wanna hear. We stayed for an extra hour, and then we went over to grammie's house to clean stuff for a party that was going on later. While mom was cleaning, I watched a recording of AFV on her DVR. In the middle of that, Isaiah came and we decided to play Star Wars Battlefront! I'm not as good as Isaiah is at it but I'm not terrible! After mom cleaned, they had the party! But we were in it too! First, we talked about The Force Awakens. Then, we did a Yankee Swap. I got a Rock and Roll Encyclopedia, which I traded for Hickory Smoked Beef Jerky. I ate it all afterwards. XD. Sophie got a lightsaber toy, which she traded for candy. And the guy who got the lightsaber afterwards said "Merry Christmas. Catch!" And he threw the lightsaber to me! Very nice of him! This lightsaber is the one Luke wields in Return of the Jedi!

After that, we played a game called Pictionary Telephone, where everyone has a piece of paper and writes a sentence, then we all pass our papers to the next person. Then, we draw a picture of the sentence, and then it goes back and forth until a sentence like "I don't want your sass. You gonna teach me to glue something?" becomes "They like giving away propeller candles!" That was real fun. After that, we played a couple rounds of regular telephone, and then we went home. It was way too late, so I couldn't write this that night.

On the 6th day of Christmas, these things happened to me: I went to Andrew's party, I saw Force Awakens again... I WENT CAROLING! I watched The Force Awakens, I went to Wednesday homegroup, I did Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, and I made Christmas card art with glee!

12 Days of Christmas Day 6: The Force Awakens Again!

Today I woke up around 7 AM. Mom wanted to wake up early, but she just kept sleeping in. She got up finally and then she told me it had snowed. Okay, whatever. After a period of Youtube binge-watching, we left to clean the church briefly. Then we went to see dad and grandma! We mostly watched Youtube videos, but dad gave us special "micropresents" before Christmas. He gave us each $50 (Well, me $49 but still) and a Cinemagic gift card. We also ordered some stuffing late lunch. Later, we watched AFV, and that was funny. After that, we went to grammie's briefly and then went to see... Star Wars: The Force Awakens again! This time not just with brothers but with mom! The second time it was still amazing. Oh yeah. We went home and it was really late. So I made this post and I went to bed.

12 Days of Christmas! Day 4: Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

(Sorry I didn't post this yesterday... I came home too late)
Yesterday, I got up around 8:30 and after a while, I started school with reading Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival. chapters 1 and 2. Those were short. After that, I cleaned the bathrooms, and then wrapped a gift for Christmas.
After mom got off the computer, I finally got to math... and I was way too sidetracked. I started at around 12 PM and ended at around 2 PM. And it wasn't a whole math lesson! I continued school after that. Then we went to the church to do art class! We didn't finish the Christmas cards on Monday, so they told us to come again today on Thursday to do that. We went there, and we didn't really "finish" the Christmas cards, but we cut the art out and glued it on folded paper.

After that, we made new art on a Christmas card for a neat flower. I am not proud of it, but other people liked it.
While we were there, me and my art class teacher talked about Star Wars. one of the the things she told me was that she actually went to Tunisia in Africa, where the Tatooine parts of A New Hope were filmed! I'm jealous! So we finished art class, and mom told me we were going to Job Lots for Christmas shopping. She told me that they have everything there! And I was like... "No they don't! I've been there!" but she went anyway. Turns out it was farther than she thought. But then I saw Charles here, and I was like what a coincidence! And then he told me "We're going to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens!" And I was like "Are you serious??" What added even more to the surprise was that I thought people could only watch The Force Awakens on the 17th if they're lucky winners or something. Oh my gosh! First, we went to Wendy's and ate dinner there. And then we went to Target to look at stuff while we're waiting to see the movie. Then we went to Cinemagic around an hour early.

There was a big line that didn't budge for a while, and then it moved quickly. While we were in the theater, watching the ads, Andrew and Isaiah came to watch, too! The movie? ... ... ... Without spoilers, it was the most awe-inspiring experience in a movie ever. I was blown away. AND I'M GONNA SEE IT AGAIN ON SATURDAY!!

We went to Andrew and Isaiah's house, and we watched some hilarious videos called Star Wars Bad Lip Readings. Then Charles brought me home REALLY late. And I went to sleep around 3:00 AM.

On the 4th day of Christmas, these things happened to me: I saw The Force Awakens, I went to Wednesday homegroup, I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I made Christmas card art with glee!
