Project Halo: T-24 days

Time to explain the game zoo! First, there should be a sizable amount of players. We had around 10 or so. Now the players are gathered into a circle. I imagine that it's like a game called concentration, but not too sure. Anyways, there is a chain and the players are in a circle ranked lowest to highest. In this order we have animals assigned to spots in the circle, with elephant being the highest and roadkill being the lowest. Each animal has an action that is performed....

Now then, onto the complicated part. The Elephant being the highest starts the round. First, everyone claps then claps their legs so there is a beat 1-2 1-2 and so on. The beat goes one(clap on legs)/ two (clap)/ let's play(clap on legs)/ zoo (clap)/(clap on legs)/ action / clap / someone else's action. After you do someone else's action, they must do theirs, clap, then do someone else's except for the person who sent it to them. It's really quite fun and difficult.

Why did I just explain this? Anyone who reads this probably played this with me, and so yeah...

But to anyone reading, we definitely need variations! We need one where the actions are replaced by say... Karate moves! The top could be a back roundhouse... and so on! It'd be great! We'd have fun and be training! But where could we find enough people to be coordinated enough...

Wow it was last last Thursday since I last blogged. Whoopsy! Well, I don't recall doing anything that Friday, not off the top of my head. But on the 10th a couple of us went to play hockey at an outdoor rink. Quite fun, although I guess being basically a pylon with a stick may not be all that glorious.

Anyways, a week of school, not much happening, although a bunch of birthdays hit. Mine, Larry's, Cas, and Joanne. Anyhow, blah blah blah ....

The weekend!

Saturday night was yet another X-box night! whoohoo! Yay for people like Dev and Ryan. It always starts from them thinking, frick, I'm bored, it's 11:00 pm... hey lets gather people and play Halo on 2 TV's. So they do. Get home around 4 something (=

I decided to have a birthday dinner on Sunday night, not really wanting much but just a dinner would be cool. My mom (so ever cool) paid for it and we had ourselves a fun time. Hehe, Tyng and Michelle were talking the whole time... jeez... and later on Tyng I think got a ride off of her... ;)

After the dinner we went home and played Zoo!!! Thanks to Delia for that, awesome game! I think it beats out.. um.. "sccchhhkkk!", well some people will get what I mean. Quick review of what happened, and a detailed analysis of the game Zoo later. (=

To finish up quickly on my break since I didn't do too much, started reading The Lord of the Rings sometime during the break and just finished it. During New Years Eve I just stayed at home with Delia and we watched the fireworks on TV. While watching it it seemed really cool so maybe we'll get the chance to go next year downtown. Rest of the days dwindled down after that, we also got some supplies to get ready our scrapbook, now we just need to start it (=

Not sure if there's anything else to mention about the break, since school started reality kicked in and once again I remembered I still don't know what I want to do. Blah for University....

My birthday is coming up soon, and I am looking to have some kind of dinner on Jan. 18 somewhere. Just a nice dinner somewhere with everyone would be great. And if anyone actually wants to do something other then stuff their face maybe we can set something up. Something like skating, me Kev 'n Tyng went on Wednesday at the Lago Lindo Community Centre outdoor rink. I laced up my bro's skates and went out, and it was real fun. Unfortunately my back hurts really bad, either due to shitty skating or whatever, but it was worth it.

Birthday wish? Stable future and to be able to spend time with everyone! Of course Delia gets dibs :S

Wow it's been a real long time since I've had an actual update. So here goes!

Once school finished, I had two things to look for on that weekend. One was a dinner to a YFC dinner and the other was my Karate X-mas party. I remember finishing my English exam on a Monday, and not much for that week. But anyways, the dinner was alright, and note that you should never combine walkie talkies and microphones. Apperently they intefere with each other and create those loud squealing noises that everybody hates. During that dinner I also saw a "hand play". Basically people wore black, but had white glow in the dark gloves, and waved and formed words and objects. It was... different.

This year the Karate X-mas party had a much better setup, having the Hall looking very nice. Kudos to those involved on that one. For my part, usually I get involved with skits that are performed during the party. Just like the previous years, the hope that we would plan early failed, as games and sleep topped the priority list. Once again back to planning on the day of the party, but as usual the skits get pulled off. We also had our Secret Santa which was pretty fun, there was crossbows and nunchuks and ridiculus amounts of present wrapping. Devin also "randomly" got me and set up his usual tricks, finally letting me have my gift, a friggin digital camera!!! Damn!

For my family's X-mas dinner, we decided to have a family potluck. Everyone was supposed to prepare something and bring it for us all to eat. It was good dinner because most people brought stuff they like, and not stuff we hate, 'cept for my mom -_- Not much else is there to be said about our dinner that night, except it was nice and there was lots to eat!

This summary should mostly bring things up to speed, and I'll finish up at a time any good procrastinator does, later!
