Day 14 of North Carolina

I grew up with a girl named Anna at my aunt Reen's daycare. I nicknamed her Dragon Girl since she was - and still is - infatuated with dragons. I love dragons, too. We would discuss for hours about dragons and how much we believed in them. Just recently, she added me on Facebook. It's been a couple years since we've seen each other. Her father, Paul, is an author and illustrator for children's books. My aunt owns almost all of them. 

I was curious to see if I could assist Paul with his illustrations. "In all honesty," I started a paragraph in the email I sent him, "I just want to have a fun job in which I won't get bored of doing and I have a connection." 

Paul replied, "It is great to get your note, it reminded me that I did exactly the same thing when I was about your age. I was so eager to learn how to draw well that I wrote to a famous illustrator asking to be his apprentice." He also said that, no matter how much he'd appreciate my help, I couldn't become his apprentice because of the line of work he does. However, there's a plus... He said, if I wanted to, he could show me his studio and give me feedback on my art! How neat! I'll give a try. :)

The rest of the day: I bought Indigo crickets, visited my aunt Reen, hung out with the grandparents to watch the Seahawks defeat the Packers, before coming home and hanging out with Mason over IMVU.

Currently, I'm building more levels to my house on Minecraft. 

I found another program called Bandicam. Most use that for Minecraft. The Pros to Bandicam is that if you download it for free, you get everything besides no watermark and unlimited recording. Each file would be ten minutes long. Pros of FRAPS is better quality. That's because it loads huge files. Bandicam doesn't. 

I'm not looking for anything fancy. Just something that's smooth, records the audio of my games and audio from my microphone. I'll try Bandicam out for free. If I love it, I'll buy it. If I dislike it, I might try out FRAPS. The bummer about downloading FRAPS for free is the fact that each file would ONLY be thirty seconds long... That's right... SECONDS. I'm guessing its because of how large the GBs can get. 

Wish me luck on my quest to find a decent enough recording program! 

But before I go, here's a great randomly generated license plate I came across while driving to my aunt's house:
