I cant't think of a good title.
They're putting the showers into the frames of the houses that they have started, it looks pretty funny. Oh, and mom got a Wii for Dad's birthday. He was surprised, because he was always the one saying let's get a Wii, let's get a Wii, let's get a Wii, and Mom was always saying We don't need a Wii, we don't need a Wii, we don't need a Wii. Mom also picked a random video game off the shelf and it turned out to be really good. I can't think of anything else to say, besides that I'm useing a school computer and the backspace isn't working.

Magic Mountain
I know I haven't made a blog entry for a million years, it's just that there's so many other things to do. I apologize to anybody who might be reading this. Yesterday Dad and Ruth and I went to Magic Mountain. I had a very good time. It was basically the first amusement park I've ever been to, unless you count the time we went to Disneyland when I was 3. The first thing we did was bumper cars, and and it was so empty at first that when our turn ended we just started a new turn without getting out of our bumper cars. Then we did Superman, which is a roller coaster that just goes straight for a little bit and then goes up really high, and then goes backwards once it gets to the top. It was very noisy. We also did the Gold Rusher, which was the first roller coaster that I've ever been on that didn't just go straight, and the first one that we went on that went upside-down was the first roller coaster that ever went upside-down. (It was called the Revolution) We also went on the log ride and the other log ride that you don't ride in log-shaped cars, both of which had a big drop at the end where it takes your picture. The big roller coasters that we went on were Viper, Goliath, Scream, and Batman. We went on Viper twice, and I liked the second time better. Goliath was HUGIE, and it had a REALLY HUGIE drop that went into a underground tunnel at 85 miles per hour. We went on Scream later in the day, when I was more used to the roller coasters, so I didn't scream very much. My least favorite parts of the hugie roller coasters were the parts where you went slowly up higher and higher and higher and you knew you were about to go on a hugie drop. My other least favorite parts of the roller coasters were the twisty upside-down loops that went slowly and you felt like you were going to fall out. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Dad didn't notice the part on Goliath where you go underground because he was closing his eyes. And another thing I forgot to mention was on the ride called ninja we were waiting in line behind this girl and her dad, and whenever the recording of the guys voice said "Have a fun ride on Ninja. Hiyaah!" the girls dad said "HIYAAAH!". When we got on, the recording said "hiyaah!" and the guy said "HIYAAAH!" and the workers said "hiyah!" and the guy said "HIYAAH!" again. I bet that girl was embarrassed.

Vehicles
Today I just thought I would post some pictures of the vehicles that I had made.
Beer (above) is a spaceship I made a very long time ago at an art from scrap workshop. He is the first one I made.
Vroomy (Above) is a spaceship and I made him at a art from scrap workshop. He is the second vehicle I made.
This is Tanky Green, the third one I made, also at the art from scrap workshop. I made it out of a strawberry container, toilet paper tubes, and caps for small containers. I covered it in green tape to make it look more camouflaged.
This is Freighty, a spaceship I made at the art from scrap workshop right after Tanky Green. I don't know why I decided to make this one a freighter, maybe it was so that I could make him carry Tanky Green.
Next I made Tanky Red, the one you see here. I made him at the rental house that we had while we were evacuated from the fire. At that time the only materials I had were paper, pipe cleaners, and dental floss. Later I got some red tape and improved him and gave him his new name.
This is trucky, a jet-truck I made recently.
This is a flying saucer that I just finished and I am going to use for one of the vehicles in my craft economy of Andyroom.
It has a little window underneath it that you can see out of. The video below is taken by someone who was inside the flying saucer and looking out the window.

Crafts
Great honkin' moons of Jupeter, I haven't made a blog entry for such a long time I feel guilty. Anyway, I better start this one now without further apology so that I don't run out of time. Ruth and I have been making LOTS of crafts, sewing and stuffing people, building them houses, and constructing vehicles. I like making the houses and vehicles a lot more than I like sewing the people, so Ruthroom had a much bigger population than Andyroom. Oh, speaking of which, we're doing this "competing economies" thing where Ruth and I sort-of race to see which economy is the best. Don't worry, we're going about it with friendly intentions, but we do plan to have a Cold War somtime. Even though Ruth's population is larger than mine, I pride myself in vehicles and structures. I've got plenty of plans for houses, and I've started on a really great 2-story house, ith sort of a large attic. I'm almost done with my flying saucer, and I have started bulding this really cool transforming spaceship. I also am planning on modifying my paper vehicles so that they are useable. If you haven't read about my papr vehicles, click here or here or here.

Creamy Pasta
After I finished the previous post, I determinedly went about my quest to see dad put the cream into the Creamy Pasta, and dad thought I was acting strangely because he thought it was silly to be interested in seeing something that wasn't really worth seeing. But I accomplished my goal and satisfied my yearning even though is wasn't very interesting.
Interview with Ruth
O.K., today I think I will do an interview with Ruth. Here goes:
Andy: Hi Ruth
Ruth (hyper): HII, Wuzzup!
(Andy typing, Ruth looks over Andy's sholders and breaks out into a fit of giggles)
Dad (annoyed): OK that's enough, you guys don't have to be doing that.
Ruth (hurriedly):OK, sorry, I'll leave the room.
Well, that didn't get very far, and now Ruth is setting the table and Dad is finishing up on the Creamy Pasta. (YUM!!!!!!!!) He makes the cream separately, but the finished product is always in the pot when served, so I'm going to go hang around until I see him do it.

Winter Camp
I am going to write in short sentences. I hope I'm not going crazy. The food was pretty yummy. We played football. (I'm not going to write in short sentences any more.) After a little bit, a bunch of girls joined then other team and started swarming around us like a pack of bees and tackling the tough-ish boys. It was really funny, and we started calling them the Girl Squad. There was a HUGE zip line, with a rickety spiral staircase going up to a big wooden platform. the zip line had four "lines", so four kids went on it at once. It was very scary until I left the platform, after that it was SUPER fun. We also watched a funny skit called Johnny Light Bulb that the camp leaders had made. Johnny Light Bulb was this guy with a big light bulb hat on his head that had to decide if he liked meat lovers or cheese better. On the last night we played a game where we had to collect "light filaments" to help Johnny Light Bulb survive his "little fall" he had after he resolved the war between meet lovers and cheese. It was really fun, we had to get the light filaments from the camp leaders and avoid the evil light robbers that looked a lot like our counselors from church. I had a great time at camp, and I could keep writing for a lot longer, but don't you think that I've said enough?
