First Impressions

Ok, since no one commented a lie in the last post, all of the lies for this first post of The Lie Game are mine.
 
1. In one of my past lives, I was a pink pony with silver, glittery wings. I died fighting a rather one sided fight with a dragon. The dragon was green and had a head about the size of a pin, a body the size of a house, and five tails with red spikes on them. Because its head was so small, it couldn't eat well, so it always minced up its prey with the red spikes on its tail and absorbed it through its body. But I didn't die because of its tails. I died because it sat on me. I was trying to save a purple pony from being eaten, but after it sat on me, it minced up the purple pony anyway, so basically, I died in vain.
 

No one commented on my last post, which I think is rather sad. I understand why no one's read it though. I haven't posted for too long and no one remembers me anymore. Oh well.
 
This is another obligatory blog post. I have decided I will post The Lie Game here.
The Lie Game is a game I invented a while ago. There may be some other things that are similar to it but this is my own, simple, easy-to-play, pass-the-time version. There's no way to lose unless you don't even participate.

     Hi! It's been almost an entire year since I last posted something and I apologize for that. I've  had other things to worry about like homework, school, et cetera.
 
     To be honest, this website doesn't work for me anymore. I don't feel comfortable here and I find this blog a bit boring now. Everyone who reads this usually gives me Chinese comments or just comments that say"good" or no comment at all.

Yesterday was my birthday. I am now 14 years old.
 
The boring story...the most exciting thing that happened was that I got a can of blueberries and won 40NT in Mahjong . I am 14 years old and I'm already gambling. The world is obviously going to ruin. I was at my grandma's house for Chinese New Year with Jerry, Louis and Louis' baby brother(who is now approximately 1 year old). It was raining so we were inside watching TV and playing computer. My grandma wanted Louis, Jerry, and I to stop watchig TV and playing computer so she made us come downstairs to play Mahjong with her. I love Mahjong, mainly because we hardly ever play it except during New Year. The boys didn't really concentrate until Gran said that we would be playing with real money, 10NT for each point.  She knew we had money because we had just gotten our red envelopes the day before. We ran upstairs for our money and changed our hundred bills into coins with Gran. Louis, who has no idea how to play Mahjong, was helped by his dad. We played a lot of rounds and eventually, Louis ended up with 110NT more than he started and me with 40NT. Gran and Jerry had both lost money. Jerry was pretty pissed about losing the money he had won the day before in Mahjong, so he quit and went upstairs to watch TV. Gran quit so she could go cook dinner, so we gave up playing and went upstairs to watch TV and play computer. After dinner, my mom and dad were going to go buy my cake, but my dad said he was too full to eat a cake, so, in the end, I didn't get a cake. The only present I got was a small can of dried blueberries from Louis' mom. They were delicious.
