12th July 2011

This is going to be a long one.

Since my last exam, I went into college a couple of days later and spent the day with Luke. A majority of the day was spent in the same two seats, watching nigahiga on youtube and the Digimon movie. It was a very nice day and definitely a good end to a great college year.

Things went a little downhill from there, though. Many times I've had to cancel plans all due to issues at home. I've only been off two weeks now and I feel like I've done a years worth of arguing. But I did manage to go to the cinema with Jade, Emma and a few others last Tuesday and yesterday I spent most of the day at Lucy's house with her, Luke and Nic. I'll ramble on about that in a minute, though. First I'm gonna ramble on about Minecraft.

A few months ago a few of my old school friends started getting into minecraft and talking about it on facebook, and then started talking to me about it, and we said it'd be really cool to have a minecraft "party", where we go to someone's house and play together, making something big and epic. We then made it an event on facebook, and it started getting out of hand with loads of people being invited that we don't know in person and such. No one was really contributing towards planning, either, so in the end I deleted everyone I didn't want and kept it to the original group plus a couple of others. Miki offered his server and we voted on making it a 'do what you like as long as you don't piss anyone off' kind of server, and so from the 1st of July we've been making some pretty awesome things!













That's a snippet of what the server looks like after less than two weeks ;) oh and here's a video Luke made for the TARDIS:



On the topic of MC - a while ago I mentioned something super exciting which I couldn't really properly talk about, BUT NOW I CAN! And oh my gooshhh!

A few months ago I made the Portal weighted companion cube in MC, put a video on youtube about it, and then a lil while later I got a message from someone saying that they would like to have the map and if it was okay for it to be used to test out a program they were making to take things made in MC and print them off in 3D. I hate to admit that I was pretty skeptical, because they said they were from MIT and not to tell anyone about it. It wasn't that I doubted it was possible, I just didn't think that someone like me would be approached for a project like this. But yeah, few weeks ago they sent me a photo of my companion cube actually printed off in 3D and my mind was officially blown. OH MY GOSH! And now, here's the video!



But yeah, back to yesterday (...wait, wut?). To summarise: Nic went the very long way round walking to my house despite me giving her clear instructions; Luke was late... again; Lucy power biked half naked (well, the important parts were covered) through West Town; we were all very cool and completed a puzzle from a Mensa puzzle kit; we were even cooler and went through their question cards before realising we needed them for a cracks and ropes (snakes and ladders, essentially) game; There was a lot of throwing things...; Nic went to work and Luke, Lucy and I played maaannnyy games of cards... "before it rains".

PHOTOS!




That hat got around... and yes, that is a butterfly on Nic and carrots in Luke's ears.





OH GOD IT'S SO BRIGHT!





Ahhh forgot to mention that in the summary. There was a huge tickle attack although in the video it looks like Luke was just feeling up her boobs... hehe.

Told you this was gonna be a long one.
... Luke, don't you dare. ;)
