I’m pretty sure some of the commandments that broke included
- use common sense
- be open-minded
- don’t say mean things
- use your brain
… which is why I do these things anyway
LOL

So I’ve known this kid for like 11 years. This is a bunch of stuff he sent me way back in 2001; it might be the most hilariously fantastic thing I’ve ever found in my house.
- Contents. The Harry Potter (!!) postcard was sent separately, actually, about a month after the rest.
- Envelope. Karen Huo? Really Gene? (also, like my censoring? :P)
- Postcard. Definitely got the sides wrong HAHA.
“I’ve been waiting for you to come over and play ‘I Spy’ books with me!” SO ADORABLE HAHAHA. Also notice the stamp. 34 cents?!- “The Book of Games.” Crossword.. ish. That’s not how it works HAHAHA. Just.. look at the clues. I can’t even HAHAHA
- “Pleas get through the maze craze.” THE MAZE CRAZE.
- “Dot-to-Dot.” That’s actually quite an impressively drawn cat.. and a less impressive puzzle.
- “Math.” Okay I really have no idea what you wanted me to do here HAHA
- “Multiplucation & Division.” First, I find it interesting that you considered this fit to include in a book of games. Second, I think it’s hilarious that I actually solved everything. In purple pen, nonetheless.
- “Bounus!: We have a contest of who draws the best we will stick them in our next issues. Have fun drawing! Send the form to the fowllowing address: *censored*” I just noticed the ambiguity of that statement. Will you stick the best drawing or the best artist in the next issue?
- Letter. “Sometimes I like to gather with you and your funny, brother.” Also reference to the Wishbone computer game.. “Send me the note on a letter.” Did I ever actually write back?
Seeing as you’re about to graduate, this seems fitting to post and make you look back on your first? second?-grade self and see how things have changed. Theoretically you should’ve grown up a bit over the past 11 years, but, well, maybe you haven’t. :P

This is on the verge of embarrassing (actually, the letter IS embarrassing), but the nostalgia is overwhelming. I remember making this too, holy.
You have no idea how fun I found doing math problems when I was in first grade. Obviously, I thought everyone else did as well.

I shudder to think at how much paint went into this

Actually, you’ve piqued my interest. ENLIGHTEN ME
Cheese or Font? is a game where the name of either a type of cheese or a typeface is given, and you have to distinguish between the two.
I’m actually horrible at this; I clock in about the 50% mark.

Personally I would be quite excited if my iPad screen did this
Wasn’t really going to post these maybe until later, but eh.
Starfish! Joyce had REAL, dried starfish (the small one actually broke at one point but I was able to resuscitate it with copious matte medium + paint) that were laying around. We put them to good use.
Story time.
So back in February-ish, I got a driving citation for going through a crosswalk while there were people in that crosswalk (they were walking towards me so I guess I kind of deserved it). The officer told me to expect instructions on how to proceed with traffic school and such in the mail, in a bout a month.
So I’m kind of bummed out, but I think, okay, at least I don’t have to pay a huge fine. I’ll just wait for this letter.
A month and a half or so passes, but lo and behold—no letter. I think, that’s kind of weird. But I figured it would come in a couple weeks. But it didn’t.
So after about two months I ask my mom, and apparently she found it and put it on my desk a few weeks prior but somehow I DIDN’T GET IT. She didn’t tell me she put in on my desk either.
So she tells me I need to go to the Santa Clara County court and get my appointment made. But lucky for me, I had no idea what that meant or how I should proceed with it, and both my parents were on a business trip on the other side of the world. So I thought I would wait until they came back to ask.
But then today I get this lovely message, telling me that I failed to respond to the driving ticket. Obviously, since I never got one.
That’s not the problem, though. Before, I could have taken traffic school for like $10 and have been done with it.
Now I have a much bigger problem, coming out of my pocket.
Good. Game. Gene.
Good. Game.

- Glenn (while looking at a photo of my dad's 6 sisters): Whoa... how do you remember which is which?
- Leon: Glenn, think about it this way. He grew up with them. He's know then for like, TEN OR TWENTY YEARS.

The utter control with which this guy puts lines and shades on paper with pen and marker makes me wet myself.
