I want to recall a little event that occurred yesterday as I have realized that I forgot to mention it in the previous post. Lego Wars! The little event wasn't actually a war, I'd call it more of a social gathering.
I want to say, that I was kind of worried at first as I was not expecting the girls to be enthusiastic about the gathering. I didn't even tell them exactly what I planned to do with them. I just said something like "So.... tomorrow at uh... 7pm, you guys wanna hang out at my house?"
Sam had a little setback, but Marlee and Evie managed to be at our meeting place on time. I was a little late, though, as I wanted to eat beforehand so that my random hunger moments wouldn't disturb our play time. When I got there, we had a little conversation and blah blah blah (random laughter and all that stuff). Then we decided to finally go to my house, but to our luck, the rain came and poured hard. Marlee and Evie didn't have a problem as they both had sweaters, but me. Oh me. I only had a T-shirt (and shorts) on. Goddess dammit. Oh well, we made our way home and took that little bitch (rain) on like bad asses.
When we came to my house and into my room, their purpose became obvious as they saw all of the scattered Lego bricks on my bedroom floor. "So yeah, let's play with Lego!" I don't know why, but I think I came off as being a creeper as I immediately started up my ustream and set up my laptop to do some audio recording. To my dismay, the stupid thing didn't want to work. I kept fidgeting with the tool trying to get it to work, but failed in the end. So my plans of doing a podcast audio recording failed miserably. Phoooey.
All in all, we had fun playing with Lego. Sam came an hour late, but the group and I actually upheld a meaningful conversation just like I wanted to (too bad I couldn't record it). I really liked their creations. Even the two that were not finished (Don't give up guys). After our little attempts to create stuff out of Lego bricks, I realized that people do in fact have slightly different perceptions of this world. The images we create reflect the person we really are. Some of us do need a little more time to get this image out of our heads, but those ideas can be equally as good, if not better than others. You never know until you finish.
