Tonight I, my older brother, and my sister are going to be having a dress rehearsal for the skit we are performing on Sunday. I'm playing a shopaholic, and it took me a while to find all of the bags I needed, and fill them up with assorted things, including, but not limited to, clothes, shoes, plastic food, and fake jewelry. Now, I have so many bags to carry that I can hardly hold them all, and that's exactly how it's meant to be.

I've been listening to songs by Train today, and most are pretty good. I particularly like '50 ways to say goodbye'. It starts off a bit like a song from Phantom of the Opera, but is much more funny than those songs.

Has anyone ever finished a game of Monopoly? Last night I was playing Monopoly on my iPad with my sister and little brother, and we didn't finish it. In fact, we were playing the game we had started the previous Tuesday! How does anyone actually finish a game of Monopoly? I think you're supposed to go bankrupt to finish, but we are all too careful for that. At least, so far.. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaa! Anyway, of all the Monopoly games I have ever played, the only way they have ever finished was because someone got bored, so we just stopped playing.

My brother is taking on a mysterious Fred on his computer. He is once again on Truthseeker, and is being attacked by plants. My little brother and my sister are playing a two player platform game. My sister is better at it.

Not much is happening now, because it's a weekend. On weekends, we don't do much. Especially when the weather is this weird. It was fine this morning, torrential 5 minutes ago, and is now drizzling. Hard to work with that kind of weather.

I don't know what else we will be doing today. Maybe a board game in the afternoon, I'll read a bit, online or off, and not much else.

My brother had to leave his game temporarily, and now his computer character is talking, asking when it will be time to save the world. It's got a bit of an attitude for a computer game. I think it's bored.

Do you believe that everyone should have speech? My mother has been telling about a famous person who plays tennis, who has been rejected by Tennis Australia because she shared her views about something, and those views were contrary to popular opinion. I believe that some things shouldn't be said, because it's rude, but if you want to voice your opinion, you should be allowed, without getting sued, or publicly humiliated over it! Different people have different opinions. Why should some of those opinions be not allowed?

That's probably enough questions for one post, but I do think that freedom of speech is important. My dad likes to talk about how because some people do silly things, everyone is penalised. Like, I think it's ridiculous that a teacher isn't allowed to give a crying child a hug. Things like that.

My little brother is setting up a board game next to me. He's not going to play it, he just wants to move all the little characters around the board. Anyone who's played Break The Safe might understand how fun it is to move the little figures around the secret-lair themed board.

My sister is on another computer, putting a book review into the moreton library website. Once she's finished it, she'll have 14 tokens. I've got 31 tokens. Our older brother has 5 tokens. That makes 50 tokens all up, and hopefully that's enough to win us the iPad. The other two are probably thinking the same thing, but I think I should be the one to get the iPad. After all, I am the one who contributed the most tokens. More than half. More than 3/5 even.

Next week, we head up the Coast, to where we used to live. It should be fun, visiting all our old hangouts. I'm hoping we'll meet some old friends, but so far, none of them have contacted us, and a fair few have moved. I'd really like to see them though. Most of them, I haven't seen for 5 or 6 years. Some of them are probably all grown up now.
