Finally, Birds

After much trial and error in my past of going outside in the freezing cold and trying to take pictures of birds, I have finally succeed. In the past two weeks or so, I have realized that there was a major climb on the bird chart that I have created, in my head that is. This finally hit me after a bird almost flew into me on the way across the street to my bus stop and also when I saw a V-formation of geese flying overhead while too standing over at the bus stop. Of course I never have my camera with me at these times because I am going to school. Once this invisable lightbulb that I presume is just hovering above my head turned on, I realized that there's birds around. Finally! After failing miserably in the past, I took pictures of birds. This time did not come until four this afternoon though, because I was up until nine or ten this morning playing Runescape, taking my real first brake at four. I thought that I should go outside and take these fascinating pictures of birds because I definatly needed some fresh air and to see some sunlight. Anyway, I had earlier plans to go for a bike ride around my town of Jermyn to take some pictures but Runescape got in the way; so therefore I charged my battery and uploaded the pictures from my camera to my desktop today before I went outside. I did get some pretty good pictures of some different types of birds (I refilled my bird feeder and my father moved it away from the owl a long time ago so this attracted the birds). However, the quality is a little fuzzy because I'm not just zoomed in all the way, but Imageshack blows the picture up a bit even when it's not viewed in its largest size. However, some are pretty good quality. Such as the last four ones shown, because these were taken from my front porch, in which my front yard is on main street. Now my front porch is a pretty good distance from the road (I'll get the tape measurer out another day). Now the last four pictures were taken by zooming in on the distance from my porch to the road, the main street itself, and the then whole length of the driveway across the street which is pretty long, so in that case, these pictures are pretty darn good quality. However I won't show any pictures until the end of this post. Text first.

Runescape, Runescape, Runescape. While outside today taking pictures of birds, I came to realize how much Runescape teaches you about real life. For example, it's okay to walk up to a total stranger on the street who is using their cell phone and ask, "How much for camera?" Then they might give you a strange look and tell you and then you respond, "I'll buy it" or "Sorry, that's too much" and then just walk away. Adding another brick to the wall, you could just want up to somebody in public and ask, "Will you be my girlfriend/boyfriend?" Another thing I learned is that it is indeed okay to shout fire in a crowded place. For example, at a bank you can shout, "Selling fire staff for two thousand gold pieces!" Another thing I learned is to not give money to beggers or items because you're just fueling their desire to beg more, therefore do not donate to charity or give items to the homeless. Another thing I learned is that it's okay to just walk into any house and search through a cabinet or drawer, maybe even a chest! Another thing I learned is that I can create runes by getting a flat rock and some crayons and draw symbols on them, then I can cast magical spells and the whatnot. I even learned how to make an arrow! All I have to do is go rip a chicken apart, steal its feathers, find some iron arrow tips lying around, get a knife and whittle logs into arrow shafts, and then just assemble all of the items together. I might just go do that tomorrow after I go to my swimming party. Maybe I can buy some fire runes at the hotel the party is at!

Caitlin did come on Runescape today around six in the evening, after I came back from shooting birds. Well, shooting snapshots. And well, she tried to come on at least. I think the longest amount of time that she was on was maybe three minutes. Her computer was having some major problems and Internet Explorer was closing the page on her for no reason and she lost her cursor when a page just clashed and froze her browser. She did download SwiftSwitch but it wouldn't connect to the internet, saying it didn't have permission to connect to the server. A firewall is most likely to blame for that but I'm not the expect on knowing how to allow programs to access the internet through the firewall. I did it before but on the top of my head I wouldn't be able to tell you. Then I had her download Firefox because I felt bad for her being that she was using Internet Explorer, in which I thought most of her problems came from there, but that's when the page clashed when she ran Runescape on it and her cursor dissapeared and she had to reset her computer. When she actually got through, we were by the giant rats where we left off last night when I had her follow me to the bank. We didn't even move hardly when my laptop screwed up and I was dissconnected and then she was attacked by the muggler and then her page closed on her by itself. After having some more problems, she finally logged on and exclaimed to me that she was in a place that she was never at before, in which there were a lot of people and a castle. At that, I knew she died. I went to get her, more computer problems occured for her, we walked near the Draynor jail, more computer problems for her, and then finally we made it to the Draynor bank, in which I was going to give her some items I made for her this morning. Next paragraph:

This morning, I wanted to get Caitlin some armour and better weapons so that when she came on I could give them to her. My smithing wasn't even ten yet so I really needed to get it up to even make her any armour, nevertheless even an iron weapon. She already had an iron mace (which she lost when she died) so the armour was my main priority. I was at Lumbridge or Varrock or somewhere (can't really remember) and I wanted to travel to the mine near Yanille being that it's the best mine near a bank in my case. I could only make bronze bars being that I was at such a low level. I walked across the map to the mine, mining about 150+ tin and copper ores each. Then I teleported to Lumbridge and walked to the bank in Al Kharid where I was going to smelt my ores there. I did so and got about 100+ bars. I then walked up to the west bank in Varrock where I got those bars out and walked across the road to the anvils, hammering the bronze bars into weapons and armour. Then I got to the level where I can smelt iron ores (I'm keeping my levels a secret until my total level hits 1000, then I'll post a picture revealing all of my stats) and realized I had about 140+ in my bank. I walked back down to Al Kharid, got 100+ iron bars, walked back up to Varrock, made items out of them, and so on.

I'm trying to really short this out because it's getting late and I'm hungry, plus my mother is yelling at me to get off. Point being, I made the stuff I wanted, then I made about 1,181 arrow tips, I made arrow shafts, killed chickens and got the feathers, made arrows, trained my ranged a bit, then I took my break somwhere around there.

Pressure is overwhelming me...here are your pictures. By the way, under the digital camera pictures, the last one is a squirrel.

Runescape Pictures -- Taken Today:

Make sure you have a good one. Because I believe that I have no homework for Monday, after the party I'm going to tomorrow (which is from twelve to two, pretty short) I might go for that bike ride I planned to go on today and take those pictures of the sights and landmarks of Jermyn. I need air in my tires though...

EDIT right after posting and realizing something when looking at pictures: Somewhere in there I fought with Craig at the duel arena, in which you can see we fought just by punching and kicking each other. I forgot who won. Anyway, we fought a lot there. I think I only beat him once or twice...sad. I can't say I didn't see that coming though.
