Jun. 15th, 2012 08:40 amWent with Mom and Marie to New Jersey yesterday to drop Grandpa Bob off.
Just shortly before we got there, we stopped at Dunkin' Donuts, where Grandpa gave Marie a ten to spend on half a dozen donuts and a sandwich. Me and Marie each got three different donuts, and I also got tuna salad in a croissant, which was the most appetizing thing on the sandwich menu. It kinda sucked, and to be honest, I think that I might be losing my taste for tuna, although that's probably the only thing besides fish and chips that's gonna stave off Alzheimer's, since I very much hate most kinds of cooked fish. Had my vanilla kreme donut after consuming that thing, and saved the other two for later.
Turns out that all the kitchen cupboards have been removed, with all their contents on the dining room table for now. I also saw that most of Cousin Adam's toys and kid-books in the porch aren't there anymore, though I did notice two airsoft guns (a handgun and a sniper rifle, with a clip right near the former) among other things now occupying the room.
So anyway, I helped the others unpack our car and Grandpa's, and as a bonus, Grandpa let me keep a box of Sprite which he says he didn't even know was in his trunk in the first place. Afterwards, I had a nap while Mom and Grandpa went to the post office, and then Mom woke me up to get ready to return home upon coming back.
Stopped at a McDonald's shortly after leaving the house, where Marie got a double cheeseburger and I got a hot-n-spicy chicken burger and a Rolo McFlurry. Shortly before we got there, though, Marie told us that she actually never even heard of a McFlurry. While we have been to McDonald's when we were kids, such was only once in a while, and we only ever got burgers, fries, and soda, so Marie told us that one time when she was in grade school, the busdriver asked everyone if they knew what a McFlurry is, and Marie thought they said "flurry" and told them it's a miniature snowstorm, and everyone laughed.

Got home at 5:15. Had a nap, and then chatted with Jake for a bit, before we all had dinner. I loaded or washed whatever I could take from the table after I finished eating, and then had my double chocolate donut with a glass of milk. (Still got a Boston Cream donut left.)
Played Pokemon Diamond for a bit, and then went outside. Dad was still in the garage, and I told him that I've noticed that the dirt I recently poured is covered in pebbles, which I assumed I would have to rake off at some point. He and I went over to look at it, and he told me that he'd sprinkle some grass seed on it while it settles down over the summer.
Just then, Brian's old friend James greeted us while riding his bike on Long Island Avenue. Dad and I told him about stuff that was going on, including where Brian's going to school and some kind of job that he recently landed. Dad did most of the talking with him, but I told him about several things that include fictional counterparts to myself and a bunch of other kids I once knew, him included. Namely, my Mon Colle Knights fanfic, titled Cult, and an ensemble pic that Chelle once drew of the entire main team.

So, he, I, and Marie looked at the pic together, and talked about their real-life counterparts:
( This is an lj-cut. Click to read more details. In this case, stuff that either was mentioned along the way or I feel is worth mentioning now. )
Finally, I should note that even though Kevin (Steven in real life) has Davis's place in the prologue, something will happen to him between the prologue and the main story which either kills him or causes him to drop out (won't be specified which). This actually will pertain to the plot due to take place.
(I did tell James shortly before he left to register an account for both DeviantArt and Fanfiction.net, so that he can favorite both works. However, I don't know when I'll actually update the fanfic, given that I'm currently more interested in writing Parasitic Trio (my Pokemon ficseries) and teaching myself kanji, but when I do, he'll receive an email if he adds it to his Story Alert.)
