Well I hopped all day two days ago like I said. I did walk a little yesterday, but thought I should be careful so I did hop, or walk in a position that didn't hurt, which did two days ago.
heh I put a butterfly net over my dad's head, after he warned me that he was a carnivore. Then things got interesting. I learned that my leg was a-ok to run on after I did that. hehe :P
I was reminded of a pet I once had, that I never actually put down here. It was a garter snake. I had it for a little longer then half of a year, then it died. Contrary to what you may think a garter snake's favorite snack isn't crickets, or grasshoppers (that's what I thought). I learned their favorite food is... Earthworms. They love 'em. For awhile I actually had two, one about half the size of the one I kept. I would've kept them both, but mom didn't like that. heh, not at all. Actually when she found out I had two, she called the office at school, and they dragged me out of class, and talk to her. She said I had to get rid of one, so I told her the smaller one. And that's how I got down to one snake :P. Though had she known what would happen later, she would've gotten rid of them both I believe. It's a good story. hehehe
One day I came to check on the snake, and low and behold nothing. Nothing? yeah, the snake had escaped. I spent the day basically looking for it, to no avail. Soon it was one to two weeks later. Then one night I had a dream, in which I found the snake in my dad's office. So not wanting the dream to happen I looked in my dad's office, and lots of other places for the snake. But, I came up empty handed (oh, did I mention mom doesn't like snakes. *hint of what's to come :P*). So downcast me, called it quits and started to watch tv. Then 30 minutes later dad, and I hear a voice calling for dad. heh, a voice that sounded frantic at that. Then I hear "It's the snake." and being the very acute person I am, asked "What?" (:P). "It's the snake. It's up here *mom started to sound annoyed (gee I wonder why).* At this point, which was around 10 seconds after I first heard "It's the snake" I finally realized what was going on. So I quickly got a butterfly net (which are quite handy for getting a snake, and catching food for small mantises) and I ran upstairs. I saw the snake. I got it into the net, but not before it decided to bite me, which scared the livin' daylights out of me. I had never been bitten by a snake before. so I stood there with a snake in the net shaking my hand. Now that I look back at it, I'll bet mom was thinking (stop shaking your hand and get that snake out of here!). I put it back in it's cage, and put more stuff on the lid from that point forward. Now after this had happened I learned how this went down. Apparentely one of the cats, Mai, found Mr.Snake. Mai decided the snake looked like a very fun thing to play with. so mom apparentely saw the snake flying up in the air against the wall. *that would've been quite a sight*. From there we all know what happened. So my dream did come true, though not in the room or in the way I expected... That's for sure. The snake was quite hungry. It hadn't had anything to eat that whole time probably. And that concludes the Snake Escape. Life's never boring I'll tell you that :D. The snake probably could've done without all the excitement though hehe.
the remaining two mantids, are well fed, in other words they're fat.
Wonder if we'll be able to cookout tomarrow as we plan to. Dad better finish replacing the wood on the side of the house, and it is the wood siding right above the deck too. :P
So hurry up already jk hehe. It's not like you're back hurts or something is it?
on a bzflag note: I've been asked to design a building with maximums of 25 25 60
I have two potential buildings I have lying around from earlier. I have the Fancy building I used 8 pieces of graph paper for (which is exactly 25 25 60!), or a spare structure I had designed for overkill the beginning. that building though exceeds the limit by 5 WU on two floors, and another floor would exceed it by 10 one one side in addition to some part exceeding the 5 WU as previously stated. A third opition is a simple building which was 25 25 Z (I could easily vary the Z size on it). Actually I wasn't planing on ever using the Fancy Building. cause' it's pretty complex, and it would take awhile to make.
technically it was 75 WU high but the first floor was going to be really basic. I think I can alter it to be 60 though, if I change the parts around where a door would be first. I'll get a picture soon, if I can find it anyways...... me and my Greaaaat organization skills lol.

13 June 2011
At openfield I possibly injured either the tendon or the muscle. It hurts when my left foot is in the pushing off position. So stretching it hurts it. I remember do this early on in open field as well. But, being me, I decided to keep going. I wasn't sure what it was really. I have a better idea now. I really don't want to do this, but I'll be trying to rest it till the next open field. Hopefully it'll be better by then. I really wanted to keep running too... I'll walk like I do when I start getting pain from planters fasciitis. (walking on the heel of my foot, to avoid stretching the sole of my foot. But, this also limits the stretching I do on my calf, which is the part that is hurting right now.). I really hate sticking to recovery too... heh I remember the first time I broke something. It was a hairline fracture in my big toe (very small too, around the size of a pin head). The next day I was out on a scooter, though I was being very careful. Sometimes though I've ended up in more pain by doing these types of things when injured.
Just to be safe I'll try not to even strech it by walking (that's gonna be fun :P). Looks like I might even hop down the stairs (I actually already did this once).
Man I hate it when I look injured to other people... I don't want to draw attention to myself... I find it's more fun to get people to think you're alright when you're not... Maybe that's why I don't like asking for somebody's help, when I need it.
welll, I'm done here, and with the computer for the night. Time to go/hop down the stairs :P
ok back again. I figured out that I can still feel it no matter how I walk on that foot. *sigh* looks like there's no way to not appear like I'm hurt (Hopping everywhere does look suspicious :P). I think I was able to play soccer with this because, I was being still. By being still it's now in recover mode, so it'll hurt more then it did then, (the muscles cooled down). Just a theory. even walking with my left knee bent, and one my toes, to prevent any stretching, is painful, just less then the one I suggested above. Blowing out a calf would be very bad. I don't want that, so even though I could just fight through it like I did in open field, I'm not because I didn't understand that this wasn't just from a tired muscle. Otherwise I might have thought about continuing more (though in all likelyhood I probably would've still kept going). I want to be careful with this now. So hopping it is... Darn it I really want to fight through it, like I normally do too...
back x2. heh, I refused to hop in my dad's presense. I realized I need to just deal with it, and throw away my pride. Though I don't want to admit it. I have pride in not looking injured... Time to through it out the door
I could also use my cane (yes I have a cane... I got it when I broke my toe... though I could've probably walked without it. But using that is worse then hopping, even though its much easier). I'm not going to use the cane for that reason...

plugins
I would test out a plugin I got from one of Flying_popcorn's plugins (turret.cpp), but apparently I don't have write access to the place where I need to put it. /usr/lib/bzflag. (This is a hint for you by the way). I mean I can't even change the bzflag's default textures.....
As for now I've done everything I can for it, I have two plugins to test as well. The primary interest was the fact a friend asked how to make a "messagezone". I went to mrapple, Who I know read it at least, at the time that was at least 3 hours prior (1:49 or something EDT). So I went searching, and I realized mrapples plugin was more then that, it also saved the player's position. Typing a message to the Friend who wanted this got me thinking as I wrote it. I told them how I began mapmaking. I was inspired by Flying_Popcorn's map "Flying_Popcorn's shooting gallery". It's not random that I told them this either. Flying_popcorn's map had a turrent plugin (the first of it's kind), but it didn't just involve the turrent... It also had a random flag give zones. These zones also gave the players a message in addition to the flags! That was the connection. After I sent my message I, being the really patient person I am just sat there until now and blah da blah blah blag... of course not When I got on the computer (the message was sent via cell phone) I looked at mrapples plugin, I sent him a message of the specifics of mrapple's plugin. (oh did I mention mrapple hosted for me awhile back? (>6 months ago), oook now back to the main topic... heh sorry about that...) then thinking back to my message I sent him, Ian (I'm tired of saying him :P), I looked at Flying_Popcorn's plugin. I looked at and after thinking it over I decided to try and see if I could get a messagezone out of it. I think I did too. and I didn't have to write anything :P. I also got a RandomFlagZone too, along with the messages to go along with it. Now I just need those write perms... (yeah, dad :P)... and the information from Ian, about the messages he wants, where, the size of each zone (if different sizes), and uhh... nope that was it.
Munch died yesterday. The other two ate very well today, so no worries for them right now.
On a more positive note I found my Aquarium Adventure membership card (mines a lifetime one too)
Aquarium Adventure is THE best fish store there is around here, all the sell is fish and fish products, unlike all the others around here. They also sell things the other don't always sell like discus for example. Though it's not worth the trip there just to the fish you can get at the other fish stores. They're also more expensive... But thats where the membership comes into play. I believe its 25% off of fish and 15% off of fish products, though I'm not sure since I haven't been there in awhile. They had a shark (no not one of those bala sharks that just share the shark name. Its an actual shark! Dogshark perhaps? if it is I know how to dissect one from ecology in 10th grade :P. I know they can't sell it, for legal reasons. I just added the dissection part, since it was related. I'd rather keep it then dissect it... The only thing that kept my attention on the dissection in Ecology was the fact that it's tongue was attatched, and inside of the shark's tongue. It took awhile to figure it out :P actually it was the last place we looked. Did I mention that, that shark shouldn't have been able to survive as long as it did. I mean how did it eat it's food if one part of the stomach is attached to the tongue, and the other to it's intestine? Where's the food it's eating going? My teacher said she'd never seen anything like that before. Neither had I... Well I guess that's because I've only dissected one dogshark. That one to be exact. I kinda wish I could be in that kind of class again. It was about life, unlike chemistry which was inorganic chemistry in our case. I'd rather take physics then anatomy which is why I'm taking Physics :P. plus i don't really want to be involoved in the dissection of a cat... the reasons are obvious... They use a cat because their organs are arranged very similarly to ours. You know every single organ in our body has an explaination. Like the appendix, though Its able to be taken out because its most important use comes when we're young babies. It helps prevent disease in our intestines. Our body isn't as good at when we're babies and that's where the appendix comes in. Helping our bodies to fight off infection. Which our body becomes very good at in our twenties. In 1918 The Spanish Flu (H1N1 just like the swine flu in it's classification) killed around 50 million people. Most of the deaths occured in the second wave. It's actually debated where this flu originated, some say spain, other in the USA.
ok, neat fact!
did you know The H in H1N1 stands for hemogluttin, while the N stands for Nuerominidase (spelling?). I looked it up once... uh don't tell *looks around to make sure no one's watching; whispers, but it was at school during study hall. :P hehe
Did you know that there's a virus that actually hijacks another virus? I'm not joking either. A small virus infects a virus known as the mamavirus (no joke), which infects amoebas. Once the mamavirus starts to replicate inside, the smaller virus' RNA hijacks the process which creates these small viruses inside the mamaviruses. here's the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_virophage
I learned this when I did an article for Ecology in 10th grade. Once I read about this "Virophage" I couldn't pass it up. It was just too cool :P. Oh I just learned by reading the wiki page they discovered two more "Virophages".
If you don't read the comics you should read this one. Well I like it anyway http://www.uclick.com/client/azc/ft/

mini golf
Today my dad and I went mini-golfing, I actually won, for once. The wet greens worked in my favor.
though if you look at my strokes, it looks a bit strange...
3-3-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-3-2-2-2-4-2-3 lots of 3s, and 2s in that...
and after that I went to the driving range, I seem to have gotten worse, and I can definetely mark golf off as a day job, and as my dad says "as a hobby as well". Since I probably swung the golf club at least 3 times as many balls that I had. (I missed them... A lot... did I say a lot already?...) Early on I got a cut on my left hand, but I kept going, because I was going to finish it one way or another. I also got a blister, which later popped with around 10 balls left... and my dad just got to sit back and watch the entertainment lol
these are pictures of the golf course, for the most part. Except the first one, which was after I ran 5 and most of 6 laps in 11 minutes 20 seconds... I was tired, can you tell (note picture was setup, but definetely shows how tired I felt. ;) )
I had calculated one mile equaled 5.13 laps, though my dad's gps in his phone, showed that I was a little bit off, since it only take 4 laps to equal one mile... whoops... that a big error percentage hehe.
Yes, a world record was set at this place!
oh my dad added this to the place...
E^(pie * i)+1=0...
I can see it now...
me: Officer I don't know him.
Officer: are you sure?
me: Yeah, I've never seen him before in my life, Really!
Officer: right, that's why he called you son
me: He uh... was refering to my sunny nature *smiles cheesidly
.... continues on
ok I wouldn't lie to the authorities, but you get the picture here :P

I was so focused on Phoenix this whole, time I didn't check to see how mystery was doing. Strange, he's dying, and it's too late, enough energy to live, but not to catch anything. Strange since I saw him eat something yesterday. His death will always be a "Mystery" in my eyes. (He'll most likely die before tomorrow comes, which since it's 9:58, isn't too long)...
Phoenix has eaten something, that I can be sure, but he's really skinny, which is worrisome, he's not even close to being out of the woods yet. He's the last Mantid alive from the first eggsack that hatched, that I possess. Hatchet is a level two mantid now.
