I have returned.

Entaro Polystyrene Man.

I'm back from camping.

It was… a veritable hell.

We had to walk a half a mile to use the bathroom.

The surface of my right arm is now comprised mostly of mosquito bites. (seriously, 43 last I counted.)

I didn't take a shower until I got back because the showers at the campground were disgusting.

On the brighter side:

I went on a tour of a coal mine; it was like Minecraft IRL. I got a chunk of iron as a souvenir, all I need is two sticks and I've got myself a shovel.

We ate out at this fancy Italian place on the ride home.

And between Poly and Spectre's help, I got this script working for drawing surfaces and emulating a view. Although, I realized after a point that I won't be able to do tile art, so instead each room will have to have its own background/foreground, probably loaded externally if I can figure out how to do that.

So, thanks Poly and Spectre.

That's all for now.

Welcome back. It's good thing you showed up, I was this close to making "Charlie died in the woods" jokes.

My epitaph would read, "He was eaten alive by mosquitoes."

Heh, I was wondering where you went.

They were just selling them at the gift shop and the combination of them being shiny and four dollars was irresistible. However, it is possible (as far as my limited knowledge of minerals goes) that they were mined from the same mine, it's unlikely, seeing as the mine was closed in 1953.

That's what trees are for.

Not when there's another cottage every 20 feet. The "camp" was more of a hotel where the hallways had trees growing in them.

Absolutely correct. When I went to camp I found that I couldn't quite displease any tree without accidentally flashing some unfortunate passerby. Now, did you walk half a mile to an actual bathroom, or to another tree? Because we usually did the latter >_>
