This morning, I played Banjo-Kazooie. I was looking for the tenth Jiggy in Clanker’s Cavern. I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I did find all ten Jiggys in Bubble Gloop Swamp. I also wrote about “Goldeneye vs. Jerry Springer.”
In my dream, I was in this Egyptian temple with Sean from Group, this girl names Elisa who was in my homeroom last year, and Donnie form The Wild Thornberries. Donnie opened this potion that said “South Park” on it, and a gas that looked like Kyle’s head came out. My dream is over

Today, Dad went to Uncle Robby’s to pick up Brian. I got up to Gobi’s Valley before we ate dinner. Each time I went to the warp pad, I was thinking about a church song I made up called “Why I need thy water.” “Thy” means “your,” but I wish it meant “my.”
(Sung to the second-to-last line of the hymnal "World Without End".)
At dinner, Brian talked about what he did at Uncle Robby’s. He told us that he saw South Park on TV, but he didn’t watch it.

Today in Sunday School, we’re rehearsing for a Christmas play for the Sunday before Christmas.
After Sunday School today, I was wandering in the backyard, and then Matthew showed up. We played checkers, and in the end, I thought I set up a trap by preparing one checker to jump one of Matthew’s if he takes out one of my last ones, but then he’s like “Yeah?” He then jumped both of them.
We then played Kirby Super Star. I showed him the clear one.
“This one’s got autofires, but the R button’s broken,” I told him. He decided to use the clear one anyway. After a while, we decided to have lunch.
“You don’t have to have grilled cheeses,” Mom told us. After lunch, Matt asked me what I wanted to do. I thought about it.
“He can’t read your mind,” Mom told me. Soon, I decided to play Super Bomberman, and we got up to World 4. Then we went outside and raked leaves in the front yard. Later, we rode bikes up and down Masem Court. Dennis and some of his friends were also riding their bikes. Dennis said hi to me once when we passed him. When we came back home, I’m like “This brings back times of last year.”
“What?” he asked me.
“I said this brings back times of last year.” Then I fell on the ground. When we got inside, Brian was playing Goldeneye, and he was on the Frigate. We watched him.
Matthew went home before we ate dinner. During dinner, Marie said something about Dail Bernacki, and then I asked Dad “Speaking of Dail Bernacki, because he has a poor job, what kind of a job does he have?”
“Probably packing boxes,” Mom answered. “And I bet he’s not a ball of fire at the job.”
“Yeah, usually, when you have that kind of a job, you try to do it slowly,” Dad said.
“What about a horseback riding teacher?” Marie asked.
“That’s not a really good job to have. Every year, you teach the same stuff. Learning how to trot,…” Dad told us.
“What about being a teacher?” Marie asked.
“That’s a good job to have. Every year, you teach new stuff,” Dad answered.
“What about a video game designer?” Brian asked.
“Also a good one,” Dad answered. “They’re not gonna pay you $75 for putting the groceries in the bag, but they will pay you to find the common cold. It’s something you have to think about carefully.”

Tonight, I was brushing my teeth, and Dad was also in, and I said a curse, and he got mad at me. Before I went to bed, I was fooling around with Mom, and I jumped on the floor, and she’s like “Stop acting like a weenie.” I’m like “Like a dick. She got mad at me.
“Don’t you get up early tomorrow morning to play Banjo-Kazooie,” she told me. A few minutes later, she’s like “It bother’s me just as much as it bothers you not to get up to play Banjo-Kazooie.”
“My mother’s comin’ over on Wednesday. If you curse, there will be trouble, and you won’t like it!” Dad told me.
December 1, 1998 (Tuesday)
This morning, when I was getting dressed, Mom’s like “Thank you for not getting up so you can play Banjo-Kazooie.” I’m like “You shouldn’t be grateful.”
“I’m not thanking you then,” she said.
At Group, I talked about Thanksgiving. Then we played some board game with rubber turtles for pieces, and two of the turtles were identical, and Sean’s like “Don’t choose an identical one.” He was fooling around with them, and I’m like “What the hell?”
“You lose a chip, because that is not something we say,” Juliet said.
At the end of Group, I bought a balloon and a glow-in-the-dark turtle with my chips.
After Group, Mom took me to a department store.
While Mom was looking around, I saw some ladies with perfume, and one of them’s like I can smell this all day long.” I thought she said “all damn long,” and I started repeating it. “She said ‘all day long’ because it smells so good,” Mom told me.
Back to the present.
For the past few days, I have been unable to access ROMhacking.net. Each time I try to enter it, I get a message saying that the server is taking too long to respond. I've been starting to wonder if it's been shut down permanently, and asked last night on Yahoo Answers if that is the case, before going to bed. One person who answered said that he's been having the same problems with the site as well.
Quite by coincidence, it's been even longer since the last time I've seen Jake on MSN. However, I do have more faith that he'll return. He's probably just busy with real life or something, and it's not like I hadn't decided on a whim before to have a break from the program. I did read his 20 Secrets About Jasmine Mayer post, which he posted only days ago. Not that I have anything in particular to bring up with him, but I'd be especially glad to kill some time by speaking to him while I'm not playing anything for the time being.
In the meantime, I've been working on a pic of Ellen as she'll be dressed towards the end of Parasitic Trio. I still need to pic up some colored pencils and color her in, but I did show the pic as it currently is to Chelle, who agreed to give me some con-crit on it. I also compared the pic to the depiction of "Leaf" on the cover of my FRLG player's guide, and it turns out that both versions of the character have roughly the same proportions.
(Man, even while in sketch form, Ellen is so hot having such big breasts, wearing the outfit in question, and flirting.)
