September 29, Entry 8

The epic of Trilby, cont.

Trilby looks around the room (wearing a burgler mask) and spies a safe under a bookcase. Being the master thief that he is, he opens it easily, but finds it empty. Not wanting to leave out the room's door, he tries the window, which seems to be stuck shut. Relucantly, he tries the door. He exits the room into an upstairs hallway. There is a man there who, frightened by Trilby's appearance in the burglar mask, runs down the stairs. Trilby, realizing it was the mask that scared him, removes it. As he walks around the upstairs hallway, he realizes that all the doors except for the one he entered the house from and the bathroom are locked. This being the case, he heads downstairs to look for another exit. Once down the stairs, Trilby finds himself in a small entryway with two doors, one leading to the kitchen, the other to the tv room. He tries the from door and finds it unnopenable, although it has no keyhole or locking mechanism of any kind. Puzzled, Trilby heads into the tv room. This room is fairly bare, having only a small tv and sofa. He notices an unused cord on the ground next to the tv and takes it, thinking it might come in handy later. He then heads into the next room, the living room. In this room there are two sofas and a rocking chair. There is also a fairly mediocre-looking painting of little value.

September 24, Entry 7

Herm. Today I think I will work on my writing skills by attempting to explain the unexplainable: the Chzo Mythos. The Chzo Mythos is a series of four free downloadable games by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. Their titles are (in this order): 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice. The first starts off with a shot of a red car driving down the road. There is some dialogue describing the main character, Trilby, as he talks about himself and where he is going. Trilby is a self-described gentleman thief, who only steals what he's sure people aren't using. He is currently on his way to DeFoe Manor, the mansion of the late something DeFoe and his wife. They were both recently found dead on the mansion grounds, the wife stabbed and the husband hanged from a tree in the back. The police have classified it a murder-suicide, but friends of the DeFoes say that they had no reason to kill themselves, as they were completely happy in their new home (The husband having recently proved his connection to the DeFoe lineage and inheriting the house). The DeFoe Manor has existed for about 200 years, and all inhabitants have suffered strange, untimely deaths. Trilby, knowing only what his contact has told him, is unaware of anything other then that the house contains treasures of enormous value. After his arrival at the house, he uses his grolly to grapple into a second-floor window, which promptly shuts behind him.

September 16, Entry 6

As I can't think of anything to write about, today I'll describe the world Nixiv livis in. His planet is in the third planet from the star his people call Cinc, in the star cluster Zeran Mil. His galaxy is 564,913,462 light years away from ours, so it's unlikely we'll ever see him. Even though there has been no contact, Nixiv's world evolved much like ours did. When it was formed it was a mass of lava and rock, and eventually grew an atmosphere thick enough to support life. The appearance of people there is also similar to Earth's, except they have thicker hair all over there bodies. They believe in the importance of personal hygiene quite a bit more than we do, but I suppose you'd have to with a buch of junk always getting stuck in your hair.

They have schools and businesses just like us, although theirs are much more advanced. All school's on Nixiv's planet (named Htrae, ironically) have holocaps, although they look nothing like caps. They are actually very large helmets which insert the child into a highly realistic virtual world where the child can relive past events or visit faroff places. The caps directly stimulate the brain in such a way that it completely feels like you are actually at the place it takes you to.

September 15, Entry 5

Nixiv was on way to school. He silently wondered what they would learn about today that could possibly top yesterday's lecture on the Xacks Rebellion. Maybe a nice, long holovid on the origins of Vinsi? *Smack!* Nixiv felt something hard hit him on the back of his head. He looked around and saw Wincs standing on the sidewalk behind him. "Ha ha!" laughed Wincs. Nixiv quietly stared at Wincs the way someone stares at an interesting piece of artwork or a great sculpture. A strange expression of fear and confusion suddenly crossed Wincs' face. He slowly and jerkily backed up 2 steps, then turned and ran away at full speed. Nixiv continued on his way. He began to contemplate why Wincs taunted him so excessively, knowing full well of his Bio-enhancers.

If I could have any superpower I wanted, I would have the power to control time. I would also put on a contingency power that, if I should die of unnatural causes, would send me back to one second before I died and auto-pause, unless I, for some inexplicable reason, had to die. I would also be able to freeze time but keep certain things unfrozne, like the computer or tv. Then I could play video games all I wanted! I would also have all the time in the world to do my homework, or I could just speed through it. When I put on fast-forward it would also be like the Click remote and would give me an auto-personality. I could also basically do anything I could possibly want to without fear of reparations, or see the future by speeding up and then rewinding. I think I would eat a lot of junk without my parents noticing, although we hardly have any good junk food in our house. If I'm being honest, I have to admit I would probably steal some minor things, but since this is obviously never going to happen it doesn't really matter. Bleah. I need a genie or something... that would be completely awesome. I would wish for a million wishes. Then I would wish for the super-power to have any super-power I wanted. Then I would be the ultimate!! Waha ha ha!!! Erg. I wish I had a genie... Heh. That's kind of ironic.

Oops...

I forgot to title the last post... It was September 9, Entry 3

Today for my free write I think I'll talk about how my day went.

This morning my dad woke me up at 6:20 so I could go to marching band. I got up at 6:30 after a few failed attempts. I got dressed and went upstairs. I immediately lied down on the couch and myself a comfy blanket. Eventually I got up again and went back downstairs to get my stuff ready. Then I went back upstairs and we departed at around 6:58. When I got to marching band I got my instrument out and walked out to the field. Then we worked drill for until our shoes could've solved all the droughts in the world. I came back inside, put my instrument away, and set off for Spanish class.

In Spanish, we were called out to finally listen to the PDA thingy. First Mr. Mac told us about proper bathroom and hallway etiquette. Then, Mrs. Lieudeman taught us about proper assembly behavior. Finally, Mrs. Bortle taught us about lunchroom manners.

When we got back to Spanish, it was almost over, so we packed up our stuff and left when the bell rang. Then we went to study hall, which was replacing choir because it was Mr. Levenhagen's daughter's first day of preschool. I worked on my math slideshow with Dylan. That was pretty boring.

September 3, Entry 2

Today I'm excited because of the first play rehearsal. I play Guy, who is actually a main character in one of the plays (there are three one-act plays). I didn't think I'd get a big role because of my performance in the audition, which I honestly thought was terrible. I'm also excited because when I get home I get to play Mass Effect some more. It finished downloading and I played it all day yesterday (except for when I was at the freshman orientation). Ahhhh... I can't think of anything to write...

September 2, Entry 1

Today I can’t wait for school to get out so I can go play Mass Effect. I started downloading it yesterday, but my mom turned off the computer in the middle of the download and cut it off, but it should be done when I get home. I really like video games and tv. If I could, all I would do is play video games and watch tv all day. We don’t have cable or satellite though, so the best channel we get is Fox. I’ve always thought it was strange how Fox had such Republican-biased news and mainly Pro-Democratic shows. There was a Simpsons episode that explained it, but I can’t remember what the explanation was. Plus the tv shows consistently insult Fox News, which is even stranger. I also like to read quite a bit. I like manga especially, but I haven’t bought any new ones in a while. I also like to watch anime on the internet. You can see basically any episode of any series for free.
