Today's (and kind of yesterday's) activity was playing Scribblenauts! Scribblenauts Unlimited is an awesome game for the computer where you can create pretty much anything you want! Have fun with adjectives and crazy combinations to solve mysteries and help people. Or you can just see what happens when two random objects are made! I have been playing this for the last few days, so I guess you could count this for those days as well, but today I decided to get some pictures and make a blog post about it. I chose this activity because I love this game, and I wanted to play something fun! I would rate it a 10/10 because there is almost an infinite amount of things to do in the game, and I've never gotten bored of it. So far I've spent 4 hours in the game, and I still have a ton to do! I would definitely recommend this to my friends, or anyone who loves fun, creative video games. Here's a bunch of pictures, I'll try to explain as I show them!

In this picture, I just completed a mission! I had to satisfy each art museum patron with some piece of art. Each one wanted different styles of art, so I had to be creative and come up with some awesome stuff! 

Whatever is going on here is pretty random. I helped Ben Franklin discover electricity, but then stuff got out of control. That's why I love this game!

Here I was being a doctor. I helped the nurse fix up that jumpy guy! Now he's all ready for Karate!

I had to help a sick cat here, but I was having some trouble! In the end, I just made a veterinarian to take care of the poor thing.

Another completed mission!

I'm not sure what happened here, but I think that guy's my brother. He's a dinosaur hunter!

Some crazy happenings at a local high school. But everyone's happy, thanks to me!

Today's activity is looking for movies that sound good on Netflix and writing them down! I chose this one today because today me and Allison were at Elkhart Lake in the Victorian Village all day, and we had a blast! We didn't take any pictures, but we mostly swam, ate ice cream, and kayaked. It was a great day, so I decided to pick something easy for tonight. I believe that this one can start out small, and I'll be able to add to it whenever I see more good movies to add to the list. I rate this idea a 9/10. I wouldn't say it's fun exactly, but the idea itself is awesome, so that's what I'm rating it on. I would suggest this to anyone who has Netflix, because it's always good to have a list of movies to watch instead of just randomly picking ones. Without further ado, here's my list of movies for us to watch!

• Happy Gilmore
• 13 Going on 30
• Video Game High School
• Playing for Keeps
• Tommy Boy
• Revenge of the Bridesmaids
• Adventureland
• One for the Money
• It's a Boy Girl Thing
• Noobz
• Good Will Hunting

Oh my goodness, it has been too long! I apologize to Allison and everyone else, I should try harder to make time for my list. But looking back at why I haven't posted anything in a while, I realized something. Allison's goal when she came up with this idea was to crush boredom from my summer, and make sure that even if I'm not with her, I was having fun. The first few weeks I needed to keep myself occupied unless I was with Allison, and when I wasn't, I needed to do something from the list. It kept me thinking about her, but not about how much I miss her. After a while, however, I think her plan worked better than she thought. I was beginning to have fun with everything, and not worrying about being with her. I could go out with my friends and not be sad that I wasn't with her. I could do things by myself and not constantly mope about because we couldn't hang out. So I guess the reason I stopped with the list for a while was that Allison's plan worked; I found my ability to have fun on my own. We talked about the blog a couple of days ago, and of course she's fine with me not always posting every single day. But for her, I want to get into it again. I will try my best to start doing at least a few a week, if not one a day. So, with that behind us, let's get into today's activity!

Today's activity was going on freerice.com! I could do this for a while, and I'm sure I'll update this one again some other time with more progress. I played in the category "English Vocabulary", but only because I already have played that category for English class. I chose this activity because I was on the computer, and I figured it was a great one to do since I didn't have too much free time, but enough to help some people in need! I wanted to do a bunch of really ambitious ones today, but we went to the beach with my family and friends, and soon Andrew wants to hang out. I will try some better ones soon! I rate this activity a 7/10 because it is fun, but eventually gets monotonous. It also is educational, and helps people in less fortunate countries. I would recommend this to my friends, mostly because it helps others. Here's a picture of my progress so far, I'll continue to go through the quizzes!
