@beth20 Yup! I had said I thought he had already had a tumor removed?
Oh, maybe…I’m not 100% sure. Maybe it like keeps coming back?
Also, you don’t have to tag me now bc this is my thread XD and I’ll get notified
Ok!
So…what should we talk about? XD
Have you played 1.17 yet? I found a geode and made a spyglass.
No!
Wow!! That’s cool! I’ll have to play it sometime. Do you have to download it? Or just open Minecraft and wait for it to load the update?
It depends. What platform do you play on?
Well, I have Minecraft on PS4, Xbox 360 and on my laptop
Idk about console, but what version do you have on your laptop?
Bedrock…? I think anyway lol
For bedrock you go to Microsoft store, and either click the three dots and then downloads and updates and then update it, or click the download arrow that may or may not be there.
Okay! I’ll try rn
Did I tell you we went to the beach?
No, but I can kinda tell from your pfp! Lol
Did you have a good time?
Lol!
Yess!! It was so much fun!! I love the ocean like crazy haha, plus my best friend and his family came, which made it even more fun!
Sounds like fun! I personally don’t care for the beach that much… I guess I’m more of a mountain guy. XD
Wow, so sorry I didn’t get to this sooner!!!
Yeah, I love the beach, but mountains are cool too! I just live in the mountains, so I see them a lot more than the ocean lol
I forgot you LIVED in the mountains, lol
Haha, yep good old mountains. We live near Scotchman’s peak. Look it up lol
Wow! I wish we had mountains where we lived!
Yeah, I kinda forget that a lot of people don’t lol I’ve gotten so used to it
Lucky… 😒
Yeah…
How are you today?
Pretty good, just getting stuff ready for Sunday. How about you?
Nice!
I’m good too. Just talking to different people online. Worked a little today…
Yeah, normally I work all day with my dad, but he had a meeting today, so I just cleaned chicken coops. 😝
Yeah, my brother does the same
Ugh, chickens can be so nasty lol
Hey man, dinner’s ready, I’ll talk to you tomorrow possibly =)
Dinner? I gotta get in bed, lol.
Haha, well goodnight!
Hey man, how are you?
Pretty good! How ’bout you?
That’s good!
I’m doing pretty well! Went swimming again today. What did you do?
School and started Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
Nice!
Do you not have a summer break for school?
Yeah, we normally do school all year long. Did you ever try playing 1.17?
Oh, that’s kinda annoying
I did a little! Haven’t done much with it though lol
Yeah, I think the spyglass is one of the best features.
Yeah, I’ll have to play it some more!
Hey man, u gonna do the Crazy Writing Week?
I didn’t know it was going on. I think I may have unsubscribed from Brett Harris. I probably will tho.
Okie!
Hey! How are you?
I am good! We just got back from a vacation in the Smoky Mountains. What have you been up to? Also, me and Claire have been wondering if the Silent Bells Serial is still going on.
Cool!!
School, writing, reading working…
Um, not actually sure lol. We still haven’t got the 14th chapter and my mom keeps forgetting to write them about it
So you still haven’t gotten any more? Or did the 14th chapter just get skipped?
Yeah, we still haven’t gotten any more. I think maybe the 14th chapter was the last one though, I’m not sure… I think mom is gonna email them about it lol
Hmmmm…
Well, mom emailed them, and they said their gonna ship us another one lol
But they haven’t made any since chapter 14?
No, I don’t think so.
Did you finish Les Miserables? (I can’t remember lol)
Yeah, I finished re-reading it a while ago. What have you been reading lately?
Cool! I watched the movie, which made me want to read the book haha!
I’m just now finishing the 7th KotLCs, and am reading the 2 Darkest Minds, a writing book called Creating Character Arcs and two books to my younger sister
Nice! Have you heard of The Wheel Of Time series?
Yeah, I read the comic book for that I think… are you reading the actuall novels?
Yeah, the comic book is an extra to the series I think. Is it called spring smthn?
Yeah, the one I read is called Eye of the World, but the ‘first’ one that’s actually the ‘0’ one XD is called New Spring. There’s 6 of them I think.
Lol. I think there is like 15. I’m on number 4 rn.
15 novels or graphic-novels? lol
Novels. They’re pretty thick.
Oh okay lol
What have you been up to lately?
Hey!! Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner, our internet is being weird rn, and doesn’t like SE lol
I am currently at the beach with some of the fam for Thanksgiving which is fun!
Hbu??
That sounds fun! I have been doing a lot of hunting recently, but all I saw was does and small bucks, so I didn’t get one. I did see a good sized buck on opening day, but my dad accidently handed me 243 ammo instead of 308. Needless to say, I shot twice and missed. 😞 Today we are going over to my grandma’s for thanksgiving. I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!
Hey man, I’m sorry for not responding!! *facepalm*
Oh wow, I’ve never gone hunting. That’s a bummer you missed it
How was your Thanksgiving?
I just wanted to give you an update for CWW, it’s only going to happen once a year now, so the next one is Jan 3-10 2022, and that will be the only one for that year.
Oh, what have you guys been doing for the Christmas season?
Pretty good! My grandma and grandpa on my dad’s side were in Hawaii, so we had Thanksgiving at my other grandparents house. There was a lot of food and desert of course. Didn’t they use to do CWW at least twice a year? It’s a shame it’s only once now. I’ll have to mark my calendar though. Here in Missouri, it just doesn’t seem like Christmas time, lol. We just got our tree put up a few days ago, but no ornaments yet. I have been doing a little shopping for my siblings, but other than that, that’s all the Christmas stuff we have been doing. How about you?
Oh fun!!
Yeah, I think they used to do it three times a year… but not sure.
Oh haha, we have about five inches of snow here, and we got the tree up and decorated about a week ago.
I got some Christmas shopping done, but not a whole lot.
Cool! No snow here in Missouri yet, just rain.
Oh bummer
I just re-watched Les Miserable, and now I really want to read the book!!
Did you see this? https://theyoungwriter.com/challenge/
Not sure you get the emails or not lol
Yeah, it’s a pretty exiting book except that half the chapters are just history lessons, and is not really part of the story that much. (Sorry for the late reply, wifi wasn’t working when I saw your answer and then I kinda forgot) Yeah, I don’t get the emails anymore because they sent me a little too much, lol
Hey! (Sorry, I’m sooo bad at checking this XD)
Yeah, lol, well I still want to read it!
Also, Merry Christmas!!! Hope you guys are having a good time!!!
Merry Christmas! We are having a nice warm Christmas here at around 70°, lol. What’s it like in Idaho?
I’m not gonna be able to do the CWW. I’ve been a little too busy lately. 🙁
Hey, so sorry, I don’t know why I can’t keep up with this *all the facepalms*
Christmas was snowy and kinda cold lol, but I like snow on Christmas
Yeah, in Missouri, having a white Christmas is a joke because it never happens, lol
Oh, that’s pretty sad!
@purpleturtle
Hey… is it possible to get your email? That’d be so much easier to keep up with
