The tales of Mahonry-Moriancomer, Episode 3

As we last left Mahonry-Moriancomer and Phil, they had just entered the mysterious building in the Land of Ho!

"Wow Phil.... this kinda reminds me of the great and spacious building often talked about where I used to live..." Observed Mahonry as they entered the building. The walls of the building were plastered with banners of rainbows and leprechauns. The ceiling of the building was so high that they couldn't even see it!
"Oh P.U.!" Exclaimed Phil. "What is that awful smell??!!" Phil started to peek around the area to find the smell, while Mahonry-Moriancomer tried to find a vending machine.
Hmmm.... Thought Mahonry. Now where would I find a Scorpio-ade? Let's see, could it be this...?
"Oh my goodness Mahonry!!!" Phil suddenly shouted from a room that he had previously entered. "I... I think I'm going to be sick..."
Dang.... I guess it wasn't! Oh! How about over here....
"M-M-Maho-Mahonry! I.... I..." Phil's voice grew quiet.
Ah! Here we are! Mahonry thought triumphantly, and popped open a can of the ever loved, Scorpio-ade! "All right, Phil. Here I come." Mahonry called back as he chugged his Scorpio-ade. Mahonry walked over to where he thought he had heard Phil's voice coming from, and entered the room... but Phil wasn't there! "Phil! Phil!! Where are you??" Mahonry called. "I thought that you wanted to show me something!"
All of a sudden Phil crawled through the door that Mahonry had entered from. "I did.... But..." BLECH!! And with that, Phil threw up all over Mahonry's Scorpio-ade!
"Now look what you've done Phil!!" Cried Mahonry-Moriancomer. "That was my last quarter that I spent on my Scorpio-ade! And I wasn't even half way done with it!!!"
"Mahonry..." Phil whispered as he wiped off his mouth. "You definitely won't want to drink that when you see what I saw in that other room...."
Mahonry sighed, and followed Phil into the room that Phil had previously been in.

What will be in the mysterious room?! Anxiously anticipate the next, Tales of Mahonry-Moriancomer, Episode 4!!!

Good times!

Aww man! Today was our last Joseph performance! :( Everyone was crying, it was sad! But we had so many good memories :D We went to Arctic Circle as a cast after the last performance on Saturday night to hang out and just to have fun! Awwww man!! I was super hyper!!!! It was awesome! I was so hyper that I even got the cast to dance in a few songs with me! :D Hahaha, but now I think I've lost my voice, hahaha! One of my most favorite parts of being in a play is hanging out after the Saturday night performance is over, even though it's super sad. :'( ....But we have one more cast party after school on Tuesday in Miss Boren's room!! :D Yeah!!!
This is Dan, sayin' "Good bye yall! I'll be hopin' that I'll be a seein ya soon!!" And Trevor saying, "Amen Dan!!!!"

Last rehearsal!

Oh my goodness!!! Today was our last Joseph rehearsal!!! I can't believe it went by that fast!!

....I AM SO FREAKIN' DISAPPOINTED IN OUR CAST!!! Oh my goodness you guys, seriously! Step it up! Wow.... Really, can't believe that it opens tomorrow.... Everyone should still come to see it though! It's an awesome musical, but don't make fun of us just cause we stink! We're trying our hardest! (most of us anyway...)

Hehehe.... The flex performance was pretty fun today also, but we could have been soooooo much better!! .....And I lost my sock!! How does one lose a sock? And not two socks, JUST ONE SOCK!! I was going around for the second half of school wearing only one sock!! :'( My foot was getting really sweaty and gross! I even asked my 4th period teacher if I could take of one of my shoes to let it air out....... but 'twas all in vain.....

Anyway, everyone come to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!!

Flags

Oh man! Out from doing flags comes the good, the bad, and the ugly!!

The Good: When it's really windy or rainy, and you're running really fast with a flag, it looks awesome!
The Bad: You're hands get SO COLD!!!
The Ugly: All of the mud on the re-bar that splatters onto you're hands when you pull it out of the ground!

But even with all of that, it's awesome! (Except when you have to wake up way early to put them up) Those who have never put up flags on holidays, well..... Only the stuff that I named up there is what you're missing! So if you don't really care for any of that, then be glad you don't have to do it!

Awesome weekend!

This weekend our cousins came down from Ely, Navada yesterday and we went ice-skating! :D (3rd time in my life ice-skating, and all in the space of 2 months!) Then we went and "fed the ducks" which was us just throwing bread into the river. For the ducks, it was survival of the fittest to get a piece. I noticed that one of the ducks had waddled away from the other group onto the bank, so I threw a whole piece of bread at him. (Not to be mean or anything, I just thought that he hadn't gotten any pieces of broken bread when he was in the river)
When we got done with that, we went to our grandma's and had spaghetti for dinner, (blechh!) and watched Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs!! :D That is like my most very favorite movie ever!! Then most of the littler kids went to bed while Jake and I (The 18 year old cousin) stayed up until 11:00 playing The Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation! It was EPIC!! Hahaha, well.... probably mostly because I won all of the games we played.... ;) So after church today he played my 6 year old brother in it, and rejoiced when he won. "Finally!" In his words, "I can rest in peace knowing that I'm not a complete failure at this game!" (Which kinda goes to show how bad I creamed him last night!)
Then Sunday night we stayed up until 2:00 AM!!!! :-0 !!! We first played ping-pong in the basement and we got soooooo hyper it wasn't even funny!!! ....Actually it was way funny! We were laughing at everything! Then Jake dove for the ball, but he missed and landed on it instead, so that ended the ping-pong fun. (The ball had a HUGE dent in it! Hahaha) Then my dad came down with us and we played 3 games of Pandemic: On the Brink! It was intense!! I was the bio-terrorist who goes around infecting cities and really making the game hard for my dad and Jake! ;) Hehehe..........
Anyway, I've got play practice tomorrow morning from 8:00-12:00, and I've got to get up early to put out the flags for the day, so adios!

The tales of Mahonry-Moriancomer, Episode 2

As we last left little Mahonry-Moriancomer and Phil the Slug, they had just ran away from their home.

"I'm tired of being all dragged around, Mahonry!" Phil the Slug complained. "My belly is getting oh so very dirty."
"I'm sorry Phil," Mahonhry-Moriancomer apologized. "But for a slug on a leash, there's not much choice that you have." Phil sighed. He knew that Mahonry-Moriancomer meant well, but he was just SO TIRED of being dragged around for a whole week! They had been gone now for about that long, but Phil had lost count.
"Can't we just rest for just a day?" Phil moaned.
"No Phil."
"Half a day??"
"No Phil..."
"Just-"
"No Phil! I want to get as far away from home as we possibly can before we stop." Mahonry explained. "Even if that means...gulp...NO SNACKS!"
"Mahonry!!!" Phil exclaimed. "You're out of your mind! No snacks?? What are you? Uhhhh...out of your mind?!"
"Phil! We ran out of snacks yesterday, you finished the last granola oat, remember??"
"Ah yes... That was a good one, that was... Gee... I can still taste-"
"LAND HO!!" Mahonry-Moriancomer suddenly yelled.
"Mahonry, you ARE out of your mind! We've been traveling on land since we left! We-"
"Phil, no! That's not what I meant! I meant that we've reached the Land of Ho!" And sure enough, they had! They both stared at the sign with the words, "Welcome, all you weary travelers who have probably run out of all your snacks yesterday, to the Land of Ho! Where everything is joyous and happy! In just two more steps you will be inside the Land of Ho where you can take two rights and a left to get to the main building. Hope you have a nice stay!"
"...But Mahonry," Phil said as they finished reading. "There only IS one building."
"Then that must be the one, Phil!" Mahonry said, and they walked inside.

Once upon a time...

There was a scorpion. This scorpion loved to go on long walks with his pet slug. He named his pet slug "Phil the Slug." He knew that his parents disapproved of his lovely moss-green pet, and his friends thought it was disgusting, but he loved Phil anyhow. (Oh and P.S., the scorpion's name was Mahonry-Moriancomer)
So One day as Mahonry-Moriancomer was taking little Phil for a long walk, his friends came up to him. They started to tease Mahonry-Moriancomer. Mahonry-Moriancomer didn't like that at all so he told his friends, "Stop!" But they just kept teasing Mahonry-Moriancomer anyway. So Mahonry-Moriancomer ran away from home with Phil.

What will happen next? Will Mahonry-Moriancomer decide to come back? Or will he die in the wild? Find out next week in The tales of Mahonry-Moriancomer, episode 2!

Today

Today is today. Not to-yesterday or even yesteryear, just today. (It's not tomorrow either, but who cares about the future)
Right now I am up at my grandma's house stuffing myself with junk food. Ahhhhh, fast Sunday! Both good and bad. The good is that when you're done fasting, it's a free-for-all for the food!!! :D The bad is that before you're done, you get kinda hungry... ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR WHOLE SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS FINISHES 15 MINUTES EARLY AND ALL THEY CAN THINK TO TALK ABOUT IS IN-N-OUT BURGER!!!
Ugh, ok sorry for that little spazm, but anyway, yeah. :) It worked out pretty good though! (The super bowl landing on fast Sunday I mean) Cause it's a buffet!!
Anyway, this is Trevor, Over and out.

New game

Ok, so just if any of you are wondering, no. I have never been attacked by cheese.
Secondly, I'm in the process of making a new game! I still haven't come up with a catchy title yet, but it's gonna be about settling the Utah territory. Kinda like Settlers of Catan. (If you know that game) I've come up with some awesome game-play rules and stuff. Anyway, it's gonna be awesome!

Tuesday, February 2

Well today I had play practice and It went awesome! I can't believe the play is in only 2 weeks away!!! Holy kamoli! I can't wait!!
Also, all of the brothers in the play are singing the national anthem at the girls' last basketball game tomorrow. That's way exiting, exept that it's right when play practice is so we're gonna have to skidaddle right on back to be there before much happens that we miss! Mr Baugh is our "conductor" if you will, haha. :) He's the one who got all of this stuff together so lets give a hand for "pops!" (That's just what all of us brothers call him in the play :D) Syanara 'till tomorra!

EPIC! The movie

EPIC! The movie, staring Trevor Howell and Parker Skousen. These two ordinary people really do not like each other, and this is their tale on getting to become friends. Only watch this if you have nothing better to do, because it's a time waster! (4 whole minutes of your life!)

Well let's get started I guess.... :)

Ok, so this Sunday I gave a little talk in sacrament meeting. It was about the temple and the importance of it and the blessings you get from it and such..... All in all, it came out to be just about 2-3 minutes. :P Go figure. Give a teenager a talk and they get just the bare minimum...
Anyway, we also got 2 new games to try out, so after church we got one of them out, but Caleb (that little trouble maker, haha) opened the box and claimed that there, "are no instructions for this game!" So now we don't have any instructions for our new game. Hahaha, oh well, that's what the internet is for, right? Anyway, that was my Sunday!

First post

Well hello everybody who cares, this is my first post! So let's see how this works....
