Yes as the title reads I have given up. The house was going NOWHERE! besides, the pieces of Lego were scattered all over the lounge room and they are the most PAINFUL thing in the world to step on! Last night Jacob had to go to a guitar lesson so we put the L plates up on the car, put the Lego in the boot and I was the chauffeur for the evening. His car is manual and I've been practicing in it with every chance I get and yesterday was by far my best driving ever! I could take off at the traffic lights and do hill starts as good as any other cars on the road at the time. my dad kept calling me "The Stig" when we were in the car and he was commentating like a race track commentator on most of the moves I did (I found the name he was calling me and the commentating to be annoying...)
Yes so with the house I only made parts of it but due to its general time consuming-ness and frustration of building it (not even listening to your iPod helps calm the frustration) I demolished everything I had made and put it all back in the box. Although I feel quite unaccomplished its a relief its all over because I no longer have to build it and see the big, ugly box sitting in the corner of my living room.
BUT! as another challenge me and my friends have an amazing idea. In the Christmas school holidays me and my friends want to buy a Toyota Hilux (or a similar Ute) and turn it into an amphibious vehicle! by that I mean we will put an outboard motor on the back, seal up any cracks which water could flood into and attach floatation devices to it. In my group of friends who ever gets their P's first (probably Stephen in December) he will drive it down to the boat ramp and into the water while we sail it down the Swan River and challenge ourselves by boating to Rottnest Island on it (if the water police catch us we could get into deep trouble)It will be on a calm day though so we don't have a rough crossing and I will follow behind in my parents boat so if they sink i can rescue them and I can film along the way. It does sound like a crazy idea but you only live once so why not try it?
OK I'm off now! I will publish a few more posts in the next few days about my life in general.
Ummm... Ok then why don't you just get someone with a skippers ticket to drive to rottness that way the water police will just leave you alone?
ReplyDeleteyou should'nt give up!
ReplyDeletekeep going (:
We are so gonna do that. but it will cost around $5000 at least which is a bummer cos it would be so cool being the first person to sail to Rotto in a car.
ReplyDeletehaha i wanna come along ill drive :D do you know if there are any rules against doing this ???
ReplyDeleteIm not sure if there is or isn't. Maybe it could attract media attention :P but if the poli9ce stop us we could get in trouble because it might be considered non-seaworthy but I'm really not sure.
ReplyDeleteI honestly dont blame you for quitting, there is no way I could do it. I would get so angry! Hahahah. Your new challenge sound so cool!
ReplyDeleteGoodLuck, and do you think you can do it?
I think I can do it :) lots of people are joining in with me so it will be fun (and not to expensive because we are splitting the costs). It's just going to be something random and funny and even if we fail it wont be that bad because we only live once!
ReplyDeleteGood try any way better than what I could of done I would of given up ages ago I would of just got board and sick of it but cant wait to hear how this new chalage goes good luck.
