White car. Was waved to on the bus-stop side.
Walked from bus station up a street, then right at the t-junction (not left!) to go up stairs at the dead-end behind the school. Turn left at stair landing. Voila, shortcut. "Someone needs to invent something that'll make it seem like you're always walking on flat ground. Or anti-gravity or something."
Had wraps with bbq'd chicken, lettuce stuff, tomatoes, mayo in them. Tasty. His sister made them. Orange juice too. He checked that his server was still up via a monitor in the next room.
Spent a bit of time watching him on the computer. Snails. Was given 2DVDs and 1CD (shouldn't waste optical media space) with Gakuen Alice, Fruits Basket and the Akira movie on them.
He looked through his drawer of spare hardware. Gave me a network card and two sound cards. One is a good one (Sound Blaster), which may or may not work. He also gave me a Digital Multimeter with a dead battery, because he had two. He kept the one with the battery that still worked. XD I'll have to dig out that other 9V battery I found on the street somewhere a while ago.
His mum brought us tea and some yellow things with the character 'fortune' on them. They tasted... interesting, but a little dry. He didn't have any.
Hid behind the keyboard when he turned on the webcam.
Played on the together keyboard for a while. At one point, we couldn't stop giggling. He recorded it - but in the wrong format. Suggested that I should write a program to turn the file into the correct format.
Sat on the bed together and just sort of... stared out the window/around the room/etc for a long time. Realised just how much I missed physical human contact. Spikey hair.
17:00 Fell asleep on his bed O_o
17:15 Woke up - he'd been staring out the window/watching over me. He said that he guessed I'd sleep for 15min. Pretty good estimation. :D
"I'm not sleepy."
"Yes you are."
"Are not."
"Are so."
etc.
"This is not a see-saw."
"No bouncing on the bed."
*bounce*
"No bouncing on the bed." *poke*
*bounce*

17:3x Nai asked if I wanted a lift out to the city. Gave and received a hug from Net147 - not interrupted this time. Warm...Mum had sms'd me saying dad would pick me up at 18:30, so I told her. Mum called. They talked. Net147 and I ate a banana each.
Went back upstairs. Went out onto the balcony and stayed there for a bit, looking at the moon/city lights. We kept each other warm - though he said that I was warmer. Felt protected by his arms around me.
Was shown the karaoke box, which had winXP on it and was his secondary computer, in case someone was in his room or something.
Made and ate spaghetti bolognaise. Parsley in uncooked spaghetti makes for limp parsley leaves afterwards. I am so not used to pepper/other such hot things. His sister came back from helping her friend down the road. She probably headed back there later to help her not-so-organised friend with an assignment due tomorrow. I suggested that she use the excuse of needing to sleep, since she didn't want to be up all night helping her friend/finishing off her own assignment.
Went back upstairs. Listened as he played keyboard quietly. Did the research on the King of Thailand and derivation of 'sabotage'. His sister came up with a plate of orange melon (rockmelon?) and some mandarins.
Messed around a bit with the keyboard with him. He let me play for a long time on my own because I'd found the user-defined instruments. They were much fun. He recorded me playing again, in the right format this time.
Messed around with the Drum Kit instruments with him. Created crazy beat things.
Then parents arrived and I had to go.
