Chronicles of 7th Grade: A lot of company!
Jul. 3rd, 2009 05:55 amOnly one entry of Co7G today. On that day, we had our cousins Dennis and Steven, Marie's then-friend Dana, and my friends Matthew and Joshua come over. This is also the only time that Joshua (whom I knew from Group at the time) ever came to visit us. (No lj-cut, because it's being saved for an entire section about Parasitic Trio, which will contain major spoilers.)
February 13, 1999 (Saturday)
Today, we had a lot of company over.
This morning, Cousins Dennis and Steven came over. We were all in my room playing Zelda 64. Later, Matthew and Josh from Group, and Marie’s friend Dana came over. We hooked the N64 onto the living room TV. Joshua had this Pikachu cyberpet. Brian, Dennis, and Steven were playing Zelda 64. Joshua was fooling around with Dana, and Mrs. Nadvordnik told him to stop. Dana’s like “I don’t mind,” but Mrs. Nadvordnik’s like “No, I mind. You don’t know your own strength.” Marie was playing with this inflatable globe. Me and my friends were playing with Legos, and Josh asked me to make items from Star Wars out of Legos. Brian and Cousins Dennis and Steven were by then playing Mario Party. Meanwhile, Mom had some brownies baking in the oven while she and Mrs. Nadvordnik were chatting with us.
For lunch, I made some grilled cheeses. Mom told Mrs. Hughes that after Matthew showed me how to make grilled cheeses, the rest of us started making grilled cheeses for lunch. All of us had brownies after they were done. After me and my friends finished ours’, we started playing Mario Party. Later, we went outside and played basketball. When we came back inside, the rest of the kids were watching Mr. Magoo. My favorite scene was when Mr. Magoo ended up in a snowboarding race, and he was riding an ironing board, and he was knocking the rest of the racers over.
After Matthew and Joshua went home, I started playing Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. I was trying to make money by playing the chest game. Dennis asked me “Like, you pay 20 Rupees, and then you only win 20 Rupees.”
Marie and Dana came into my room, and Dana saw Duckbutt, and she thought it was still Quackers. She asked Marie something about it, and Marie told her his name is now Duckbutt. I told Dana about Elouise and Duckduck.
Later, we got the N64 hooked back into my TV. Brian and Dennis were playing Zelda 64, and they were at the place that gets destroyed when you become an adult. Soon, they were playing this game called Cruisin’ World.
Brian lent Zelda 64 to Dennis and borrowed Cruisin’ World when Dennis and Steven went home.
Back to the present.
Vincent came over yesterday, and I showed him the stuff I wrote about Growing Up on the Spectrum and several of the comments that Chelle and I left on that post. He then showed me this website about a group called ASAN (Autism Self-Advocacy Network), which opposes groups such as Autism Speaks that seek a cure for Autism. Whereas Autism Speaks and other groups run by non-autistics speak for the families of autistic people and others who see autism as something negative, ASAN speaks for autistics themselves, and seeks to make the world understand them for who they are. They believe that to cure autism would alter an autist's personality.
The two of us then went to eat out at the bagel place and talk about stuff. Notably, he asked some stuff about Chelle, such as his/her gender (not specified) and whether or not s/he is autistic (which s/he is). Considering that Chelle is autistic, and Taylor was part of the Dowling Project, which only has autistic members, he suggested that they could be the same person. However, to rule that possibility out, the first time I spoke to Taylor was when he was playing Pokemon; Chelle told me that s/he doesn't even play video games. (Also, if I'm correct, Chelle also lives somewhere in Europe, where s/he has access to the Dutch dub of Mon Colle Knights.)

As far as A Link to the Past goes, I never did record how long it took me to complete the game in any one sitting, but yesterday it took me five and a half hours to get from the beginning of the game as far as completing Misery Mire (just two dungeons short of actually beating the game). I remembered where some stuff was even before turning the game on after such a long time, but a lot of stuff just came back to me, even though I didn't bother digging up my player's guide. I still don't remember where six of the game's Pieces of Heart are, and I decided just to pull up a walkthrough after turning the game off. Today, I might just top my record now that I'm familiar again with the dungeons and where everything is.

While I did have the day off from Pokemon Diamond yesterday, last night is the first time I've updated the plot outline for Parasitic Trio since Jake decided to shun it. ( Spoilers ahead!!! )
