Tweenbot Day 4

Tweenbot is wired up. Everything works.
The problem is...
TWEENBOT IS TOO FAT T-T
As soon as I put the Tweenbot on the ground it would stop rolling.

My dad saw that I was upset, and while I was out of the house, he tried to make another, smaller body:

I found it on the table next to actual Tweenbot, which is standing on its head right now. It clearly doesn't work, since it has a hole in its stomach, but at its the thought that counts right? My dad is awesome.

Dobby Photo Project

So I guess I'm adding another photo project to my list of things I want to do next year.

--This is Danbo. He's from a manga called Yotsuba, which I've never read, but he's very small and he's become kind of a sensation on flickr. Many more can be found here.

I don't own a Danbo...apparently you have to buy a legit one.
But I do have this thing:

Instead of Danbo, I named it Dobby. So I'll be taking pictures of him doing random things as well, possibly daily, possibly once a week. Eh, we'll see.

As for my crane project, I've decided to take a different crane every day and tie it up wherever I take a picture of it and actually leave it there. I hope people to get mad at me for littering or something.

5 foot 2 and 1/4

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

My measuring thing is off by an inch.
I consulted 3 different rulers to make sure...

I grew an eighth of an inch in the past year.
I'd like to thank junk food, lack of exercise and sleep, and my parents for taping the measuring thing ONE INCH TOO LOWGVAWIOSGHA--

ANGER.

5 foot 3...and 1/4

I am now 5 foot 3 and 1/4 inches tall.
That's 1 1/8 inches taller than I was a year ago.
I'd like to thank my parents, for nagging me to grow taller.
And I'd like to thank Publix cookies for motivating me to drink milk.
Also, I'd like to thank the weird chicken that supposedly has hormones in it to make you grow taller.
I'd like to thank God for having mercy on my 5 ft 2 - ness.
I'd like to thank cheese.
And last of all, I'd like to thank all of those who believed in me that I could grow taller if I tried. (There's not too many of you out there.)


I GREW!

Tweenbot Day 3

Tweenbot is painted.
My dad did most of the painting because he thought something awful would happen if I did it instead.
That's it.
BUT ISN'T IT ADORABLE??
I love tweenbot.
It needs a name...any suggestions?

Tweenbot Day 2

I made the body of the tweenbot.
Let me tell you, do not underestimate how complicated it is to shape/cut/tape/glue cardboard.
The shape is there but I'm going to have to paint it all white to make it look more acceptable. And draw a smiley face of course. :D

Anyways, that's all that has happened with tweenbot. As soon as we stick the parts in and figure out how to make the wheels run smoothly, it will be ready to take Centennial Park/Atlantic Station by storm!
 
On another note, I switched my Facebook language to Leet Speak and I am fascinated.

The Crane Photo Project

I was looking up photo projects like the 365 project, but I couldn't really find one I really wanted to do.
So I came up with one of my own.
If anyone wants to do it or something similar, feel free and please tell me how it goes! In fact, I'd be really happy if somebody joined in this project with me.

I've decided I'm going to make one paper crane, and each day I will take a picture of that same crane in different places around my campus. I'll - try to - do this for every day of the school year. I wanted to do it so that I'd have to take a picture of the crane with different people each day, but I don't have the guts/don't want to be a creeper. But people are welcome in the shots :D

Anyways, I hope this inspired a few of you. Does anyone want to join me?
