But anyway. We did in fact get up reasonably early, at like 7 AM. To our surprise, our mom had cooked us all a hearty breakfast. As in, not just a little, but a lot. A big, big breakfast. In my case? Aside from the standard coffee, three eggs (done perfectly, too!), two pieces of toast (albeit not buttered and a bit burnt but oh well), bacon, and sausage.
I only had room for one piece of bacon and one sausage, but boy did I want more than that. I had as much as I felt I could eat without being at risk of vomiting. I'm a little bit sad that physically I can't eat as much as I want (and as much as I want likely translates directly into being exactly how much I actually need), but I still had a much bigger breakfast than normal (normally I'm given three burnt eggs that are somewhat putrid to the point where I'll maybe on a good day eat two of the yolks and nothing more because the rest is inedible), enough where we didn't need to stop for lunch.
Hmm...while I'm pretty sure that there's more memorable about the trip than this, the only other thing I can think about is that in our standard sibling bet for arrival time, I lost by literally 30 seconds. My older sister bet 4:15. I bet 4:22. Splitting the difference, an arrival time past 4:18:30 would mean I won. (If operating by the minute rather than by the second, then I lost by a minute.) But we arrived at exactly 4:18, no seconds attached.
This being arrival time at my brother's place, of course. From there, we started driving home. My younger sister, the driver, insisted she was heading south when my older sister asked why she was heading the northern route. She soon was proven wrong, when it was indeed shown we were taking the northern route. (Which is probably a longer drive, though honestly not by much. 35-45 minutes, versus 30-40 minutes I think.) That got us home at basically dead-on 5.
There was one other thing I did during the trip though.
I wrote a song.
This particular song, I had essentially the idea of "cram as many innuendos in from gaming as possible", more or less. It's probably not that unique as a result. Especially since I made it without internet access so I didn't exactly have an on-hand list of terms used in gaming, which would have allowed me to have much greater creativity. Ah well. I hope you still find Level-Up hilarious:
Hey, you and I make a great team
With your black hole and my white beam
I can be buffed to go fast
And with you we can have a blast
I'm telling you you'll never need a priest
Not when you have my hands' touch healing
With practice I'm sure our skills are mad
You and I have what the other lacks
Let's grind together,
Keep going 'til we're slain
Experience makes us better
All the things we will rake
Let's grind together,
Keep going 'til we're slain
Experience makes us better
All the things we will rake
Friendly fire, you hit me with lightning
No worries took a potion for my HP
We'll drink such fluids as much as we can
Having fun like that is part of my plan
You've spent your mana and are bleeding
I've got a healing shiv so hold still please
Our partnership is the best in the land (originally I had "Our partnership is meant to last" but I like this better)
Level up with me and never look back
Let's grind together,
Keep going 'til we're slain
Experience makes us better
All the things we will rake
Let's grind together,
Keep going 'til we're slain
Experience makes us better
All the things we will rake
Let's grind together,
Keep going 'til we're slain
Experience makes us better
All the things we will rake
Let's grind together,
Keep going 'til we're slain
Experience makes us better
All the things we will rake
...It's about some healing class player partnering with a more destruction-based player. Right. Yeah. Totally. In no world whatsoever could it possibly just so ever maybe be a guy hitting on a girl.
...If you rolled your eyes at anything here...I've done my job!
