Runescape

In sixth grade I met dan carew.

he's a baller.

he got me into a lot of stuff, Magic The Gathering, Legos, Warhammer, DnD.

one thing I remember the most is Runescape. it was a silly old online role playing game. you started off level three and had to fight your way (or work your way) to a high level.I chose to be a fighter who was awesome at mining stuff. Dan had chosen cooking and fishing, gary chose crafting, I don't recall what andy did, he just kind of did his own thing.

The story of Noobs:
A noob is someone who is new to the game, other names for them are, Newcomer, Newbie, Newb noobie, just variants of that word. as time progessed you gain experience, be it point value or Just life experience (IE Dont go to the wild with expensive stuff unless you know what the hell you're doing

I was a noob for a while, and would always beg and plead for money or fancy doo-hicky's, I managed to get myself a copper(crap) sword, and a wooden(crapper) shield. money management was tight, I had to take a loan from Dan Carew, 1k(1000) gold coins, with 10% interest rate that would go up by 1% everytime I didnt pay it all. (Im sure I owe him well over a million coins). It was a sad life.

Relinquishing the name "noob":
once you get that mithril Armor (4 away from crap) you feel legit as hell, wearing blue armor never looked so rewarding. when you walk with mithril you will have noobs walk around like you are king of the castle (the castle being Lumbridge the home of noobs). you'll have more experience in the world, quests seem really easy to you, yet grow more challenging (walk across the world of Runescape to collect a few pieces of dust, go south, bury dust, fight 2 skeletons, walk north, then walk back.)

Avatars:
I had many a name for my runescape accounts-
Aznduelist (legit)
HaiHuy(less legit)
Jollygod (Legiter)
Ahnxlazyman(rolling in dough)

of course aznduelist got hacked (I hated runescape for the longest time after that)
Haihuy was a dumb make, I was nubly with him and lost faith.
Jollygod, Oh Jollygod, the man was a legend, he was such a good character, his name had sucha playful nature. so of course I had to be nice to all the noobs while walking with my lovely mithril armor. (Lol)
Ahnxlazyman was my remake of the long gone Aznduelist, he is rolling in dough due to his riches. (2 friends left the game and gave me there characters)

I was going to tell a story here, but I just wanted to educate what runescape is. another (better) post will be made with stories of runescape.


This is a pretty weak post, and it's incredibly lame cuz it's about an MMORPG, and its lamer than WOW. and WOW is pretty lame.

sorry.

Jim The Beach Hobo.

Lots of updates for the lack of last month.


this year's beach trip with LAMATB was more of a success story.

on the first night we went down to the beach. We set up 3 beach chairs at the shore, and a blanket for andy and jessica.

as we were chilling dan decided to start constructing an elaborate design. a large circular design like crop circles.

Jeanine's photo (click to expereience the epicness)

as dan made it larger, me removed lori and my chairs, and left kit alone. and continued to design.

as we started to finish a scruffy old man hobbles over to kit. sees that he walked over an art design. and jumped over to kit.


"Now I know you're just sitting waiting for people like me, to ask you how the hell you did this while you're sitting there."

Lol

kit and Jim started talking about stuff. the rest of us gathered around away from kit,

and I asked "should we go over there?"

as we did, we introduced ourselves.

and he asked us what we did as students:

Kit: Art Major
Lori: Art
Dan:Engineering
Me: History

his response to Kit and Lori were "Art is great, keep at it, and you'll get to the top"
To dan "Engineering is where the money is. keep at it, and you'll be getting a lot of money."
to me "somebody go ahead and shoot him in the head now."

WTF

lol

as he continued he started talking about Obama
and how he should reduce gas emissions by eliminating Drivethrus.

he would also interrupt himself by saying "forget about forget about f-f-f-forget about it."

He threw his ciggarette into the design, and said "shit I need that, but how will I get my cigarrette without ruining the art work."

so he fumbles across the design to get the last of his cigarrette, and pockets it.

as a large lady walked by he said "I used to surf, I'd like to surf her ass all night long"

as Jim talked about his life, Kit mentioned how his mom used to live a lifestyle similar to Jim's,

he responded "I'd like to talk to your mom on the phone for an hour. and work her for a couple more..."

bahahaha.


it had become about 1:16 and he asked what time it was, and said

"oh shit, I better go to make last call."

One of The Worst Beach Trips Ever

Last year I had gone to the beach with the LAMATB group.


we had gone down to VA Beach.


now I had a thing for Jeanine then, and all I wanted to do was impress her.

so you know I took the initiative to book the rooms plan everything out.

I bought dinner for them all on Dan's birthday, to look good I guess? schedule a birthday surprise with the "Greek" waitresses for dan.

on the last day, I woke up early to even try to meet jeanine to see the sun rise.

she overslept. Lol Fail.

though I have to admit the sunrise was beautiful

Not actual shot:


while down at the beach I decided to go get water for the cooler so we could all be hydrated.
I went to jeanine's car, and as I grabbed the cooler closed the trunk. as I walked away, I thought to myself "Oh shit, I forgot to grab the other cooler" so I had walked back to the trunk. i started fumbling around looking for her keys.

oh shit.

I locked the keys in the trunk.

I was freaking out. and I went to the hotel office, and told them I locked my keys, and asked if they had anything to help me unlock it.

they didnt.

so we called a lock smith, the dispatcher told me it was 57 dollars for service. I told her Thanks, I'll see them soon.

the dispatched Locksmith, came unlocked the trunk, and as I grabbed the keys, he approached me and said "that'll be 187 dollars..."

"what? the dispatcher told me 57?"

"no it's 57 for the call. 130 for the actual service."

"who charges for the call?!"

"we do."

what a rip off. I paid, got the keys and came back. andy and sean met me half way and asked what happened.

"dude did you lock the keys in the trunk?"

"....yeah..."

Long Time, No Siege (Random Black Excursion)

*disclaimer* words used in this post are not of my own but direct quotes of other people on this trip *disclaimer*


Now this is actually two part story, the first, is actually from Dan and Lori.

this is what I remember:

Dan Carew, and Lorien Williams, happened to be in the Reston Area (nearby Lake Anne) after a I guess Double Date with another couple, but don't quote me on this I'm not too sure.
as they were leaving the park, a shady African American character comes up to them:

"please can you give me a ride home? I have a child, my wife is waiting for me angry, I'm drunk, and I can't drive home in this condition. please?" he says
Dan, being the nice person he is, obviously knows this man is of good nature, accepts his request, and allows him to hitch a ride.
now Lori, before allowing him to get in, asks him a simple question "Are you a man of good Morale Values?"

"Yes Ma'am." he says.

as they drive home, the Dark Shady character Attacks dan, and dan drives off the ro-
actually that didn't happen.
as dan drove him home, the man was sitting in the back, wasted.
as they approached the neighborhood this man lives in, they see a lady with a small carriage, with a child inside.

they knew he was telling the truth, cuz he pointed her out, and dan knew it was his wife.

that was dan's
------------------
now weeks later, me dan and andy were at my house one late evening, talking about chicks, and life. great conversations, and it definitely got us to put on our Thinking caps midsummer (oi)

we had gotten a craving for slurpees, drinks, and snacks, so we start walking to 7-11 for sustenance

on the walk back, we see a SAAC walk towards us, I was slightly worried, not knowing what his intentions were.

"yo can you guys help me out? I need to buy some cigarettes, but I don't have my ID cuz i got in trouble with the law" (not a direct quote)

"uh...sure ok" we reply

as we were walking, he asks us "Yo what's you guys names?"

"Andrew"
"Andy"
"Sean"
"Dan"

"cool, my name is Lawrence, but that's a girls name, so Niggas be callin me Ace"
(I forgot his name)

we lol'd to ourselves cuz of the most random comment about himself.

we went to the gas station next to the 7-11, cuz it'd be a tad ridiculous if we went back for smokes.

Dan goes up to the gas station, asks for a pack of menthol's? something Light I believe. 5 bucks out the wallet of our acquaintance Ace.

he thanks us for our "random act of kindness" and walks away. we haven't seen him since, but ever since then, we've always required people to have a random Black excursion, or any excursion of any kind, they create such great stories.

Super Heroes.

I've made a lot of Superhero comics in my day, they were ok concepts.

from what I remember, their were 4 that come to mind.

  • Dragons
  • Armcores
  • Elemental Warriors
  • Prawn Man + Sushi Joe

They all sucked pretty much Hardcore (cept for prawn man.)


Dragons-it was basically pokemon, or digimon, or anything with mon in the end of it (Ja Mon)
each person had their own dragon (or snake, gary.) and fought to protect themselves and people they cared for. I mad this in the sixth grade, so...their wasn't much detail into it.
here's a modern rendtion of past concept art.


Armcores- that wasn't the actual name, in fact I don't remember what it was. anyways it was basically WarGraymon from digimon, but different elements, I thought it was cool. I made myself a wargraymon-sandlash combination guy he was bad ass, he'd roll into a ball like a goron (Legend of Zelda) and take out buildings. bwahaha here's a picture


Elemental Warriors-name pretty much explains itself take a Kimono wearing kiddo soup him up with some hella good elemental powers, and fight. this was a freshmen year concept it went down the drain when I decided to add steel and dark into the mix (pokemon)


Prawn man-my favorite, by far this guy was some tights wearing prawn hatting superhero, his arch nemisis was none other than sushi joe! he protect the lowly prawns from the unfortunate evils of joe and his chefs knife.


haha what's your favorite?

Jessica Nicholson This One's For You, Pt. 1

Yeah there are multiple parts--


Serious Business

Here's the first part of a rather large Epic Story I've experienced.

This is the story of the stop sign.
their was this girl, her name was Jessica Nicholson, just turned Seventeen I believe. She was super excited to have a party, and invited tons of people to her house (or so we thought, but I'll get to that later). On the information secton was the fated line "you have to bring me presents :D "

Of those people invited two people play an important role in this story, their names are Chaz armstrong and Andrew Nguyen. Look them up, I hear they're pretty awesome. Once the invitations were sent out, Andrew had no idea what to get Jessica.

"She Likes Watchmen right?, maybe I'll get her some Watchmen Paraphernalia."

He says to Patrick on Facebook. "Patrick, what are you getting Jess?"
"I was thinking of getting her a street sign." Patrick replies.
"How bout a stop sign?" Andrew asks.
"haha yeah, that's a good one, we could put 'hammer time' underneath the stop sign."
"haha I was thinking more of a "Da Par Tay Starts Hurr" kind of phrase."

This is what started the plan to get jessica the stop sign. Patrick and Dan Huchette were going to get the stop sign and decorate it. But Andrew was still without a present for Jessica. Andrew decided to get her the Watchmen videos. he was going to pick it up before the party.

VCU rolls by and the week of Jessica's party was here. Patrick and Dan, were still without the sign (damned school nights). so Thursday night comes, and Dan, Patrick, Chaz and Andrew, happen to be on AIM/Facebook. They Discussed plans for this elaborate gift for jessica. Patrick and Andrew talked about getting her a railroad sign.

the one with 2 R's and the X on it.

Andrew explained "yeah we grab this railroad sign. turn it into Arghs, and write pirate crossing on it. it'll totally fit in with your Road Pirate Kit."

but Andrew thought "where the hell is there a Railroad nearby?" So he consulted his next best source. Chaz Armstrong, and this is where he comes into the story.

here's actual Dialogue between Andrew and Chaz:

To Be Continued.

Horribly bad joke:

Now I'm the one to tell jokes, a lot of them are hilarious, it makes your sides hurt from all the laughter....


this is not one of those times....


My family and Kenny's family were going to VA beach for a family vacation (we did this almost every year) I was in his car, and his dad was rambling on about exploding fords.

so while my head was pressed up against glass, absorbing the virbrations of the road, I said, "What do you call a ford that explodes?"

"what do you call it?" Kenny says.

I continue, "a ford EXPLODER!"

I was laughing I thought it was great,
no one else did. but it stuck around. almost 10 years later.

The Surgurized Mouth

In the Eighth Grade I had braces, it was pretty bad.

but anyways, I had a tooth coming in at an angle from the rear, the only way my tooth could set correctly was if I removed one of my older teeth.

WITH SURGERY

I had to go to this specialist in Reston, across the street from The Reston Hospital.

he was an asian dentist (all my Dental Hygenist/Specialist had been asian wtf.)

he had put me under with gas, Laughing gas.

so throughout the procedure, I was giggly. hysterical, I was rather lax with my laughter to be honest.

he was going to put Novocaine(is that right? kind of like morphine) in my mouth to make my mouth numb.

nobody told me the split second before insertion was going to be a trip to hell and back.

I screamed at the top of my lungs

"I WANT MY MOM OW THIS HURTS SO BAD *SOB* I WANT MY MOMMY"

don't forget I was in the eighth grade. so it was pretty sad if you think about it.

what about all the kids in the waiting room, eyes wide open, the walls were thin enough you could hear me from across the street.

my mom recalled putting her head down and shaking it.

The Hygenist continued with "andrew, andrew, calm down, it was just..just a little pinch, keep breathing through your nose"

I breathed through my nose after that I "Blacked out" in the sense that I've already forgotten what had happened...

an hour later the man had mocked up some sort of contraption and chained the tooth that was coming to my braces.

and from then on my Braces Dentist (special name I forgot) would have to crank this tiny gear to pull the tooth down, and destroy the right side of my mouth.

Guh

The Dentist Both Experiences

this Dentist appointment was the Most Excruciatingly Evil Dentist Appointment I've ever had.

I got a new girl. She's Asian, I was hoping Oh she's nice. Shes a bitch. She Tugs At my Teeth like they aren't supposed to be there.

Her positioning is so awkward, most of the guys that Check up on me stay in one spot, but she was rolling around and whatnot, as if she was uncomfortable.

She would use the Electrical Pick, scratch at my gums for about 5 minutes. stops, switches to the manual Pick, and tugs at my teeth (she gets between two teeth, and pulls) in each crevice, stops, sprays up, and pulls the Electrical Pick again.

as if she purposefully played around with my mouth.

then again with the picks, she Scratches at my gums, making them bleed, and sprays it away with the water and "mini vacuum"

gawd she was horrible. I've never felt so much pain in such a long time lol.

while this was going down, I wondered, does the owner of this dentistry "Dr. Tin W Li." ever get Complaints? cuz I was most definitely going to complain about her.

she was horrible. but she was new, so I don't blame her. I just don't like her work ethics....

at least my teeth look beautiful?

pfft.

The new dentist: of course I like to title this FML Andrew

I went to the dentist, we've been going to our previous dentist since my brother was 4.

we waited as always for like an hour just to get our teeth checked, usually we wait the hour sit down, they look at it, X-ray it, Pick polish, rinse me out. and tell me I need to brush more (I brush a lot)

this time around we waited the hour. I sat in the chair, and the docter came in
"How are you doing andrew?"
"I'm fine."
"How Long have you been with Tin Li?"
"since as long as I can remember."
"ok now lets take a look at your mouth."
"K"
"hmm does this hurt?" he poked at a bump i had in my mouth.
"no it doesn't"
"well you know you have it right?"
"yeah"
"I'll have to take x-rays, how many times has He done a root canal on your tooth"
"I think twice."
"Oh ok"
"alright let me show you something"

he proceeded to stick a needle in my gums. but I felt nothing. he leaves

[Photo]

after that a lady came in and started taking x-rays

"andrew how old are you?" she says
"19"
"oh you go to school?"
"yeah nova"
"oh my kids go there, they're in their third year."
*wait nova is a 2 year school O.o*
"OK we going to take some x-rays now"

as she struggled to take an x-ray with a needle in my mouth she gets frustrated pulls the needle out. (it was rather important)

took a couple scans of my mouth and left the room.

about 15 minutes later, my dental hygienist comes back.

"lets take a look at those x-rays" he says "...where....where's the needle? she took it out? guh"

well long story short, he proceeds to tell me that I've had an infection for a long time, and my former dental hygienist failed to tell me so.

FML.

but the DH decides to clean out my teeth but has the lady assistant do it for me

15 painless minutes later she tells me yeah you're done...

What? you barely touched my teeth, WTF.

Elementary School Crushes

I was a questionable child, I was easily influenced. in fact, I still am.

Oi...


anyways I had a few crushes when I was in Elementary school, but all in the 6th grade.

their names were Jessica Andrews

and Chia...somethingasianchoo.

I blame Dan on both counts, he "influenced" me to take interest in them.

"Yo you should go out with Jessica Andrew's she's got the same last name as your first name!"

so I decided to keep it in the back of my mind, a thought, but I started to grow feelings.

I dunno how it happened, but maybe cause I didn't show interest Dan gave up "influencing" and moved onto another target.

Her name was Chia she was from china I think.
anyways here's the story:

she came into class one day, Mrs. Staten introduced her. "Her name is chia, she's from china, and she's here for a while. Make her feel welcome."

This was during our Challenge 24 sessions, so we'd play 24, a game that had 4 numbers, and you had to use addition subtraction multiplication and division to get to 24, it was hard, but I was really good at it. Chia was put into our group, and I didn't really talk to her, I was quite shy.

After a couple rounds, the girls group invited chia over. Dan took me aside and started talking to me
"Dude Chia totally digs you."
"What are you talking about?" I say.
"Yeah didn't you see the way she holds your hand?"
"Uh, no? she isn't holding my hand."
"Yeah she is, during 24, you always slap first, and then her hand lightly falls onto yours."
"Woah you're right."
"Of course."

so I started to have a crush on Chia, unfortunately a friend of mine, Cara M, Found out but kept it a secret.

later on, during lunch (a couple weeks later) Cara's table (which had Chia) and Andy's table (which had me) got into a fight. and Andy said something to Cara that embarrassed her.

so Cara yelled out real loud "WHAT ANDREW LIKES CHIA?"

the room got quiet. if the room had darkened. you could see me and chia Glow red in embarrassment.

Later Chia took me aside, told me she had no interest in me, I understood.

we didn't really talk, I stopped trying to play hard in Challenge 24. Chia got to finals and beat Roxanne.

she moved to Pennsylvania I think because her dad moved their to business,

but of course, a broken heart Andrew Nguyen thought "she left cuz of me..."

End Story.

Indiana Robotics Invitational

Indiana is probably a favorite of mine.

2 reasons:
  • Robots
  • Indiana Jones
anyways I first went to IRI in 06 when I was in robotics. it was fun, it was relaxed the people i wanted to see went and I became good friends with Baxter O'Brien, and Justin Mann (great people)

we won the judges award that year. though sean lavery was the only one to accept it.

in 06 we created a video in the car ride, this was during the whole "riding dirty" phase. haha.
Worst Music Video Ever


I went again in 07 this time with a larger crew. from what I remember:
  • Justin
  • baxter
  • me
  • heidi
  • dave
  • sean
  • lori
  • allie
  • mj
  • gdawg
  • robbie
  • ted
  • mike wherley
  • Dan H
  • Nick Sorrenson
anyways we made quite an impression there. on the field and off.
we did pretty well. we made it to eliminations and didn't get far

at the talent show I decided to sing a song "crazy little thing called love" by Queen. great song

it was intended to be a serious performance, but seeing as I am not that great of a vocalist and Just learned the song, I thought I'd turn it to a comedic performance to help fortify my playing abilities.



we did great, honorable mention, scarred dave lavery for life.

when we left from Indiana

we made a few more videos

Team Ramrod, and Team Hot Stuff, fight against terrorism

The Neighbors

the Jancuskas(sp?) the Mirabellas and Josie.


there's one story I had with the jancuskas, I'm willing to share I call this one the library.

first off, take my living room and add a bunch of childrens book and place it on every surface. One of the girls sat on the lower stair case
And I came from the top.

I would come to her and say "I have to die I have to die "

"die" put in the right context in Vietnamese means to urinate.

she would mistake me for "You want to Die?!"

and I would respond "No I need to go to the bathroom"

"oh second door down the hall to your left."

then my sister would come out of no where "You told him to die?!!?"

and freak out.

I don't see the funniness in it now. but when I was 6 anything was funny haha

End Story

The Mirabellas,

I'm sure they didnt like us. we were weird, they were weird.

Julia, daniels Unspoken love.

unfortunatly he didnt know how to act around girls, so he'd insult her alot on the bus (yikes).

we did hang out a lot it was fun, we played games, I get sick at their house cuz of the cats.

we'd always tease daniel, "Oh look your girlfriend is at the bus stop why not go meet her" etc.

then they moved, They probably got sick of us.

but they send us christmas cards every year.

End Story.

Josie:

I don't remember much about her, she lived across the street, was into pokemon as much as us, supposedly blamed us for stealing her Blastoise haha.

she had cats too, I'm allergic to them ><

puffed up eyes laying on the couches wheezing, that's the last I remember coming back from her house.

End Story.

How I Met Dan Carew

Dan Carew has been my best friend since 6th grade (2000)

This is how i met him.

he moved here from Madison, New Jersey.

he was a pasty white kid from Joisey. haha

anyways I was a really smart kid. but smart comes at a cost, I unfortunately had no friends. so my teacher had a parent conference with my mom, and told her:

"andrew is an exceptional student he knows his stuff. but between you and me, he isn't quite social. I think he should interact with some kids in class. here's a new students number, dan carew, I want him to call dan and have some sort of play date."

I'm sure dan's mom got the same story regarding a play date haha.

the next day I call dan carew.

"Hi this is andrew."
"Hi this is mr. carew, did you want to talk to dan??"
"yeah."
"Hi this is dan"
"Hey Dan this is andrew, we both have the same teacher. do you want to hang out sometime?"
"yeah sure."

the friday of the same week, I come over to his house.

it was a big place, I proceed to tell him, "Dude you live in a mansion."

so from then on I always tell people dan carew lives on the rich side of Summerfield dr.

as dan gave me the tour of the house he ends it in his room.

Ow ow...not the way you think haha.

now this guy has a history of unclean rooms, I'm not going to lie to you (I did). he just moved here, and his room was already a mess.

So dan takes a look at me, and asks, "Do you know karate moves? Hi-yah!"

he tries to do these fake punch moves.

I punch him in the face.

he falls on the bed gets back up looks at me.
he looked like this after I punched him

"dude that was awesome." he said

we've been freinds ever since.

GEOOORRGIAAAA!

there are many a story that come from georgia:

here are a few.
The Bus, The Flasher, The Gay Man.

The Bus:

now the ride down to Georgia was supposed to be a 10 hour trip down.

it wound up being a 13 hour trip because part way through the bus went to hell and back and decided to think it was "overheating"

we were anxious to get out of the bus, it was horrible! we were watching "The Day After Tommorow"

now dan carew went to VCU 2 weeks before for robotics, and they saw this restaurant called
Tandor "your moms kitchen"

so they created Tandoor "chuck norris" quotes like "Tandoor is the reason Their was a day after tommorow."

Tandoor created the second ice age, with his penis"

"tandoor gave that woman Herpes."

but not so much negetive much more positive haha

anyways 8 hours in we had discovered a secret time, called stupid o'clock, Aaron Hickman I believe asked for the time, and Audrey answered Stupid O'clock, so from then on, they had continually yelled out stupid o'clock. it was rather annoying but we were too tired to complain.

end story

The Flasher:

now this is more my story, I had taken part in this one.

the plan was to room with Dan Carew and Chris Parker, but it messed up. I wound up rooming with David theurer, Brian Thompson, and phil blahblahblah, I wound up sleeping in the Crevace of the beds. anyways coincidentally the Peachtree Regional fell on the same weekend as St. Paddy's day. and who would've thought Holy CRAP, theres an Irish pub, The Loafing Leprechaun, outside our hotel!

haha the day of st. paddy's we had to stay in our rooms due to the drunks perusing the hallways.
phil decided "hey lets go wave at the drunk people"
andrew schmitt came in the room.

as we waved we saw two girls walking through the parking lot, 1 girl very attractive and cute, at least from a 7 story height. the other girl, eh...not so attractive.

the not so attractive girl tried to "impress us" with her karate moves, and almost fell on her butt trying. after giving up, she tried to play it cool, and proceeded to flash us!
don't worry, she was wearing a bra.

the shocking force of such event literally blew me across the room! I fell in between the beds, and Broke my glasses. that's why I had the feather on my glasses the next day, but I'll explain the feather in depth another time.

true story.

of course we were all like DID YOU SEE IT? NO SHE HAD A BRA ON! HAHA OMG THAT WAS FUNNY!

of course Andrew Schmitt replied with "No she didn't have her bra, I swear I saw little round thingies."

he was trying to say "No I saw her nipples when she flashed us."
we told him "Wtf NO, and kicked him out of our room."

end story.

The Gay Man:

I didnt really take part in this, but a few members from team 1002 had a team member who snuck off to this Game Store and was playing halo.

they, and our friend Aaron hickman dared dan to act gay, and try to hit on the guy.

I didnt hear what they said but I saw them all come back all giggly. I'm sure dan will tell more about it.

end story

Yes, The Day After Tommorow is in German

pokemon Cards and Legos

Pokemon Cards:

it started in the fourth grade, everyone was buying it, the tv show was awesome (ash's voice was very...raspy, it's less so now)

I had no cards, I was starting to get into it.

someone gave me an onix to start.

for my birthday and Xmas later I had gotten a hold of those pokemon decks, All great cards in there (blackout was my favorite, Zap sucked).











Kenny I stole a diglet and four energy cards from you.

*Edit* I had gotten ahold of blastoise and charizard through booster pack collection (greatest day[s] ever) and I traded an Alakazam for Venasaur.

I had them in my binder full of cards, ordered correctly by listing number.

one day me and Daniel were playing super smash brothers on the N64 and I accidentally hit a bottle of Gatorade off the table and onto my cards.

I freaked, and was devastated! I quickly cleaned up what I could I took out the rare cards I had acquired and let them out to dry.

Luckily all three of the starters were fine, (yeah bitches my charizard is resistant to water) unfortunately Machamp was not, the card was ruined, wrinkled the foil was peeling from the card

win and lose.

My sister worked at Zany brainy, they started a pokemon TCG League there.

It was fucking awesome. and not cuz my sister was the gym leader, I legitimately was a great "trainer" if you will.

you had this little "guide book" that had a squares on it, you get like 1 stamp for trading, 1 stamp for helping people and like 5 stamps for winning a match (1 for playing a match, so six total if you win)
when you reached every 20 or 25, you get a special card. and at 50 or 75 I don't remember, you get a Gym badge

So long story short.

I got all the gym badges, I got a bunch of pre-release cards and I sold all my cards last year. D:

and now I wish i had them back....good memories.

end story.

I had 4 hitmonchans

Legos:

I loved legos as a kid, my dad lied to me and said that he brought these legos from vietnam for me haha.

we'd always do a kind of role playing a city situation, we'd live in either a city or small town, me and Daniel would have sweet cars. we'd also be super heroes. who were good at karate, tae-kwan-do, or whatever.

every once and a while our cousin Christina would come over and we'd have her play too. she always owned a restaurant and cooked for us.. haha.

every time Daniel plays, he always has a girlfriend, and he'd always have them "making out in bed".


ok it wasn't that ridiculous but you get the gist.

he wasn't even 7 yet.

LOL

The Origins of Andrew physically, and mentally.



as far as I can remember the few memories I have of my childhood start around the age of 4, here's a few of them.


The Hole in my head:

Well it's not physically a hole in my head, but it's a scar. I've had this since pretty much, 4 years old. Jesus. anyways here's the scoop.

I was just a little kid then, bout Yay high *gestures about 3 feet* anyways I had neighbors, from what I remember their last name were the janowskis? Jancuskas? I don't remember, I should feel horrible for not remembering. they had three daughters, one older than me, one about my age, and another about my brothers age.

we were in my house

KTN-Kitchen
DR-Dinning Room
LR-Living Room

the red line depicts the path taken, variable speeds ranging from 4mph to 5mph
haha not really.

but the picture is true, We were running playing tag but I decided to run in a circle. about the 4th or 5th time around I was dumb and closed my eyes before entering the kitchen, I hit right where the blue circle is, It was a pretty devastating I heard screams from the 3 girls before I blacked out.

4 hours later I woke up in pain, the scent of lemon salt and blood came from my forehead. I had no idea what remedies my parents performed on me, but to my fragile 4 year old body, I couldn't handle any of it, I woke up screaming it was rather horrible.

from then on I had always been asked about it, I would tell people I ran into a wall, I sounded pathetic, but does it sound more pathetic when I mention I was being chased by girls?

end story.


Literal Sensory-

as a kid I always thought Literally, for example I thought a ford explorer was literally a car that can explore areas other cars can't. dumb

~there's a few other ones but I can't remember I'll edit it later~

but this one also relates to the J family from earlier. we had headed over to our neighbors house to have a play date! but they were sick! they had chicken pox! of course at the time, I had no idea what chicken pox, as a kid, when I hear the word chicken I think cooked chicken.

so when the mother told me "I'm sorry 'blah blah' can't come out to play, she has chicken pox."

of course my childlike senses instantly thought A bucket of chicken. you know the generic looking one a red and white stripped (vertically) bucket full of chicken.

"Oooh I want chicken pox, does it taste good?" I say.

my mom tells me chicken pox is a sickness. but then she thought "Andrew hasn't had it yet."

the next morning I had chicken pox.

End story.


Finger in the stick:

I'm overweight I'm not going to deny it. I always thought about how it happened. it was pretty much an increase in McDonalds intake and quitting the soccer team D:

but I recently remembered a past me and some really bad habits.

be it Sucking my thumb and rubbing my right ear to go to bed (solved when my parents put pepper on my thumb every night haha)

but when I was a kid I loved butter. unfortunately I had no limits to my butter intake. I wound up eating butter straight from the stick. my parents caught me one day struggling to grab a stick of butter from the counter in my kitchen.

it was sad.

end story.
