Awesome B-day Present!

I got the awesomest present for my birthday. You know how I had the one post, about plants vs. zombies that I thought was so great? Well my completely awesome parents got a Nintendo DS game of it for my eleventh birthday!

We were at a barbecue yesterday, the day before my birthday, and my dad said that we had to go home soon so I could open my present. Of course I asked him why, and guess what he said? "It's something you'll want to play with right away that you can't on Sunday."

Of course I already suspected the one video game, and this practically confirmed my suspicions! When I got home, they had the game wrapped in a bigger box than a container for a video game would need to be. But I had expected this too.

However I still absolutely loved it when I finally opened the box. My parents are the best.

What XHTML Looks Like

I will now write a site that says 'my name is Bob' in XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) 1.0 transitional with the one sentence aligned to center. Mostly no spaces.

< ! D O C T Y P E h t m l P U B L I C " - / / W 3 C / / D T D X H T M L 1 . 0 T r a n s i t i o n a l / / E N " " h t t p : / / w w w . w 3 . o r g / T R / x h t m l 1 / D T D / x h t m l 1 - t r a n s i t i o n a l . d t d " >

< p a l i g n = " c e n t e r " > M y n a m e i s B o b . < / p >

< / h t m l >

See what I mean in the first post? and I didn't even use page breaks! Or more than one paragraph! Or a heading!

By the way, my name is not Bob.

It looks more complicated than it is once you understand it, I guess.

By the way, read my comment.

XHTML page

This was written in XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language!) Cool, right?

I made this page with XHTML on my computer with the help of a book I got from the library. It might be dumb, but this stuff is kind complicated.
Call me a nerd if you like, but this stuff is actually fun too.

I would show you what it looks like, except the programming in the computer thinks I'm actually making something, so that won't work.
Stupid computer.
Wait! I can show you!
No I can't. Never mind.

It would be kind of like looking in a mirror of yourself looking in a mirror of yourself looking in a mirror of yourself looking in a mirror, etc., etc., wouldn't it? Actually, not really. I couldn't get closer to the computer without the words blurring up, so it wouldn't have been a great picture anyway.

Anyway, there is a lot more work than just typing normal stuff. You have to put in < p >s and stuff. (Without the spaces in between.) Bye.

Okay, So Maybe I Have Not Posted For Around A Year.

Except maybe for the post in XHTML and about XHTML, yeah. But at least now i'm posting again, right?

Right?

Oh, come on. Phooey. I guess I have to tell you all about it now.

Well, for one thing, my friend told me about this game called stick war and I liked it. Added is a link, if I can remember how to make one:

Stick War, A Fun Game

I could make one in XHTML! (I will probably be doing most of my posts in the aforementioned markup language) Yay!

And going farther back, I had Christmas and got a marshmallow gun and a slingshot and some legos and a scarf and I can't remember and am I talking too much and also we watched that new movie Tangled even more recently than stick war and (GASP) it's spring break right now and I had the Science Olympiad and...

Oh, I get it. I'm talking too much.

Fine. Now I don't have to tell you, then. Or actually you have a choice: Keep listening, or not.

Yay! I don't have to tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye!

The economy... of a school

Okay, so there's this thing called market day at my school, where all the fourth graders make something and sell it to other fourth graders, third graders, and fifth graders. I, happening to be in fourth grade, am under pressure to create something to sell. I am going to make origami for twenty-five cents each, and just hope I pull it off with my book report where I can't find the book. So anyway, half the fourth grade is selling on May fourth, and the other half on May sixth. (That's me!) I know I want $10.00 at least, so that's like 46 origami if I pay tithing. It'd leave me with $10.35 so since I need like $70.00 ultimately I'd have to earn about $54.00 since I have $5.48. Still, $54.17 to earn? I'd better get started!

You Have NOT Seen Ice and Snow...

...Until you've been here this winter. Three-foot icicles? Seen 'em. (albeit for two seconds from a car window) we have, also, three feet of pure snowdrift near the end of the driveway not leading to the road. you want to see H2O as in frozen form? come here this winter. Examples:See what I mean? We are living in the south pole!

Honey Cookie Delight

Just today, I invented a recipe (yes, all by myself!) and tested it out. It was good, so I decided (OK, so my dad brought it up) to share my invention. I changed the proportions a little, so it might not be exact, but same thing. Now enough waiting. The one, the only, Honey Cookie Delight!

You will need: 1/4 cup of milk, 2 T. of honey, 1/4 stick of butter, 1 and 1/2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp. of baking soda, 2 tsp. of cinnamon, a 1/4 tsp. of salt, a whisk, two mixing bowls, and a big spoon.

First, take dry ingredients (flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt) and mix with a whisk in a bowl. Next, add the quarter stick of butter and mash that into the bowl with the dry ingredients. At this point, crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat them with the whisk. Now measure the milk and pour it into the bowl with the eggs, then do the same with the honey. The whisk is used constantly, because again you need it to beat the milk, eggs and honey together. Pour the mixture of liquids into the powder-and-butter bowl and stir with spoon. when mixture is judged to be thick enough, take out cookie racks, grease them, and spoon the batter with normal silverware onto them. Be careful not to put on too much close together, or the batter will merge while cooking. Put in oven and bake at 360 degrees for 10 minutes. When they are done, they might look something like this: Makes three dozen if cookies do not come out too big. Enjoy!
