Hopefully I'll Finish This Tomorrow
It's getting kind of late (it's 8 and I still need to pack), so I'm putting this as a placeholder and will hopefully finish this tomorrow. I'm still going to schedule it, though, so if it gets posts, it gets posts and I'll do the 2nd major thing of Scout Camp after I get back from Skills.

Scout Camp Report Pt. 1 (since I sadly apparently never reported on it)
Skills is, like, tomorrow (well, today, since I'm posting this tomorrow). Still have yet to start packing. Well, I guess that's not entirely true because I started to pack by first washing my clothes (they're still washing). I also went to the Jamieson's to pick up the Switch, so that could also be considered as packing. We always bring the Switch on trips when we're staying at a hotel because it might have good enough wifi/NAT type to run Splatoon 2. If it does, I may or may not be playing for a while after curfew when everybody is required to be in their beds.
Because of Skills there probably won't be a post until we get back. But maybe I'll make one while I'm there just because. We'll see.
I'll make sure to post about what happened etc. afterwards (¿afterward? Idk).
Speaking of reporting on stuff, I never reported on my second year at scout camp. I think. I'm pretty sure. Wait, now that I think about it I feel like I totally did. I'll go look.
Reporting back: I don't think I did. Which kind of stinks because my first report on camp was a high quality post. It's been too long to duplicate that; I've forgotten too many details.
But, major parts:
I won the cussing Seneca Run!! Yeet! It was fantastic, and since that was (probably) my last year going, I'm super glad. I stuck all three tomahawks (10 points).
I ran over and started the fire within the time (10 points).
I ran up the hill, followed proper procedures, but missed the target at the black powder (5 points).
Ran to the other side of the hill to archery. I had actually practiced a recurve bow this year, so instead of whiffing like I did in the previous year, I got a solid 7 points.
I ran to the capture the flag area and quickly got across (9 points).
I went to the water area. Earlier in the day, I failed my swim test (because I can't do stupid front stroke, only back stroke, but for the test you have to do 3 things of front stroke and only 1 thing of back stroke. If it had been 3 things of back stroke and 1 thing of front, I would have been able to do it), so I could only do procedure parts for a max of 8 points. The other two points came from actually crossing the river using the correct stroke. I helped a kid get his boat into the water, though, so the lady (I've sadly forgotten her name, but she was chill) gave me an extra point for that. (So, 9 points in total).
I ran all the way around the lake (since I couldn't cross it in the boat) and all the way to the finish line. I had the fourth or fifth rock, I think? And I was the first to finish. That means I passed everyone in front of me up, which felt pretty good. I got one point for every person I beat, and I think there were 10 people this year. So, 10 more points.
I got 60 points in total (out of 70). Yeah, boiii. Sad story of the day (but also happy story because it's super cool that we both won, #go2ndWard), Nathaniel, who was staff that year and competed in the staff competition, won his competition (well, tied for first) with a total of 62 points. He beat me by 2 points and it was sad. I wish I had just hit that target for the extra 5 points, so I could've beat him out. But we both won! And that is super cool!
We both got the necklace thing that I might randomly put up a picture of later. Mine was originally Diego's. He was hoping to keep it, but due to the tie, he graciously gave up his to fulfill the extra. And he gave it to me. And that's super cool because he's super cool and I took two (I'm pretty sure two) of his classes, so we got to become chill and I'm a proud owner of his necklace thing.
That was longer than expected. So, I guess I'll type up the other major part as a separate post and schedule that for Wednesday to provide extra content while I'm gone because why not.
(And, ay! I'm 16 and a half on the day that I'm posting this. Happy half birthday to me (in fact, I might as well post this at the same minute that I was born. Happy half birthminute to me!))
(once again, I'm not bothering to read over what I have written. But mini-review thing: I like this post because it's about a subject that I like to talk about (aka, the Seneca Run) and I think it's exciting)

Quick Feelings on Showers
I mentioned it in that one post, so I'm finally going to post about it.
Showers are annoying. Often. But other times they are extremely nice.
I hate the constant nagging of the fact that I should take a shower just about every day. I find the amount of them annoying. Like eating. We have to eat so much food. All of the time. But in shower's case, it's more about the time that it takes to do so. With eating, I do it anyway. There's typically a time set apart each day that is dedicated to eating something. That's fine (even if it feels like it's a lot of eating). But for showers that time doesn't exist. I have to make time out of my day in order to shower. I sometimes find myself approaching bed time and then discovering that I still have yet to take a shower. It's annoying, especially when I have lots of other things I need to be doing.
But, they can also be really enjoyable when I do have the time. Middle of a Saturday or Sunday is the typically example of this. I decide I want to take a shower. So I go take a shower. But I can just sit there and enjoy the warmth and the cleanliness. When I need to be doing 5, 10, or 20 other things, I get in and get out and it's annoying that I had to spend time doing that in the first place. But when I can just take the moment to relax, then it's enjoyable.
It's also really nice in the morning (once again, when I have time. With Seminary I don't really have that option unless I want to wake up even earlier, so I typically take showers at night) to start off your day with nice water. If I'm even in the mood, cold (or at least not warm) water is a nice option. (I'm not sure if he still does this, but I know Ryan always likes to take cold showers)
I never really know how to end blog posts. I'm typically just like "Yep." or something like that, but eh. Maybe I could start reviewing my blog posts at the end of each blog post or something like that. Give my brief thoughts about the blog post as a whole at the end of it. Kind of like what I did in the previous post about how I didn't really feel motivated to talk about the subject. Sure, let's try for at least this one since I'm in the mood.
This blog post I think is a nice quicker read type dealio. Just a little thing to learn something about me, but nothing to impressive or intriguing. Doesn't have too much of my writing personality. For example, it doesn't have any parenthesis in parenthesis, but that doesn't make the blog post bad. I like it overall. I'm glad I made it and that I'm posting it. Introduced some interesting topics about things that I seem to constantly need to be doing, which could open the doorway for other posts, so that's nice. Since it's quick and isn't too important, I don't feel the need to read it over, so that's also nice. I like this end review type part. I think it's a fun random twist that's here for no real reason, but it's something that doesn't really need a reason to exist in the first place.

Semi-Bland Post About Overwatch
So forever ago, Eric said that I would explain stuff about this one thing on his blog post, so I'm going to.
Basically I saw that he was online and I clicked the join game button and there happened to be an open spot on his team, so I joined it. Yep.
Anyway, I suppose I should talk about the game some. When I first got this game, I played a lot of it. Whole bunches. I suppose I could go look up stats on it, but we'll see if I'm lazy by the end of typing this post. To the point were people (a couple members of mi familia) said that I was addicted. I said they were wrong. And, ay, guess I was right (random note that's not random: it's a pet peeve of mine when people say other people are addicted to stuff and such). I stopped playing it a while ago. I just hit level 101 (I am now 103), so I got my first star, so it was a good stopping point. I jumped on every once in a while, but then after a couple updates it quit working. Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it's working again, so that's nice. I plan to play every once in a while, but overall I've lost interest. I definitely got my value out of it (especially since I only bought it for 20 bucks because of a half price sale).
I suppose I should talk more about the game than just that.
I play supports. Moira, mostly. Sometimes Mercy. Sometimes Lucio. When I absolutely need to I am capable of playing Soldier 76.
Meh. I'm not feeling to motivated to write more about this subject, so I'm going to go write about others. It's a great game. Lots of fun. Definitely plan to play it some more. Yep. Guess that's it. This post feels lackluster, but meh, it's made. I guess I'll go look up some stats to make it more interesting.
I have played a total of 89 hours, 19 of which are as Mercy, 15 as Soldier, 12 as Moira, 9 as Lucio, 6 as Junkrat, 5 as Zenyatta, 4 as McCree, 3 as Roadhog, 3 as Pharah, and an hour or less with all the others. I'm mid to low gold rank in competitive. I love snipers, even though I really really suck with them.
Oo, here are a couple more fun stats: I have dealt a total of 2,154,275 damage and healed a total of 2,602,007 health points.
Sorry for the kind of boring post. Eric might find it interesting, at least, since he actually knows/plays the game and such.

The End of the Hiatus
No, not the twenty one pilots hiatus. My hiatus of making blog posts. Although the theories going around right now suggest that their hiatus should end in a couple weeks or so and I'm so ready. I've been read for 6 or so months now. But now it looks like it's finally going to happen. The signs are adding up and, please, I really hope I'm not wrong here. I might cry if nothing gets announced this month.
There's orange juice randomly on the table, so I'm going to go get a cup of that. I don't know why you needed to know that. Still don't know if orange juice is my favorite juice or if apple juice is.
Anyway, back to what I was going to talk about.
It's Spring Break. Well, it's coming to a close now, but it still is Spring Break. And, as such, I finally had time to write blog posts. Except I didn't (but I am now, so it's all good). I decided that for Andrew's birthday, since I don't really have much to offer him in terms of normal gifts, I would make some blog posts. But then I didn't (his birthday was on the 2nd). And I'm like, "Welp."
But then Ryan's birthday came along and it was my second chance. Ryan's birthday was yesterday. As you probably noticed there was no post yesterday.
But, hey, that's okay. Because now I'm making some blog posts. And, man, let me just tell you that it feels so good to type.
I guess this is all you get for today? I'll be posting for several days in a row, though, so you don't have to long to wait before you get another post. I have many ideas for posts. Some of them I'm pretty sure none of you will care about, but that's fine. Maybe you'll enjoy reading those posts simply because of my writing personality (is that even a thing? I feel like it totally is.). (Random note: I really need to come up with rules on how periods and such work with my parenthesis because I use them different every time and I want it to be more consistent)
Also: Happy Birthday, brothers! I love you both.
