My Top Moments of 2024 I think. by Adam Groover

Parents Redesigned Our Room. I don't remember the date (but it's still sometime in Summer).

So this summer our parents redesigned our room. Our room used to have this bookshelf with two TVs on it. There was also a TV on the wall. We used to have these crappy desk bed things. We also had these shelves that we put all our stuff on. So basically everything except for some books, our physical copies of video games, our game consoles, and the two TVs that weren't attached to the wall were removed. Almost all the stuff on our shelves was put in containers that went somewhere in the attic. We got new beds, new desks, and a new bookshelf thingy. We also got a new TV that we occasionally use.

Got a new gaming PC for Christmas. December 25.

So for Christmas, my brothers and I got new gaming PCs. They cost quite a lot of money each, and our parents got three of them, so we wouldn't be getting any other gifts for Christmas, and our birthday (I think). While not getting other presents was a sacrifice, it was a worthwhile one. The graphics card is an RTX one, so I can actually play games that require good graphics cards. I think the games I played most during the break were Marvel Rivals, Rivals of Aether 2, and Terraria (with mods). I'm very thankful for my parents since they made my gamer equipment upgrade possible.

Dressed up as Doctor Doom for Halloween. October 31.

So for last Halloween, I decided to dress up as Doctor Doom for Halloween. The costume was fairly basic, a simple cloak and a mask. Now the costume was supposed to come with a mask, but the mask only came after Halloween, so I used an improvised mask that my mom printed out. Wanna know the best part of this? When the actual mask came, it looked really good. Kinda disappointing, but at least I know what I'm dressing up as next Halloween. The costumes my brothers and Liam wore were cool as well. My brother Will wore a Denji Costume (Denji is the main character of an anime called Chainsaw Man if you didn't know), which comprised of a white shirt, black pants, a black tie, and a rubber Denji mask. For my brother Harold and his friend Liam, they wore rubber pig masks, along with wizard robes. They both had canes, one of which was our Great Grandfather's, and the other was a plastic scepter Liam brought. So overall Halloween was pretty good this year.

Said bye to my last Aide Miss Daya. (between Autumn and Summer, I think)

When I say I said bye to my last Aide, what I mean is that Miss Daya would be the last aide I would have, because I was at the point where I figured that I didn't need a behavioral aide anymore. I don't remember exactly when I finally made the change of doing school without an aide, but I do remember it was sometime near Autumn and after Summer. So I said my heartfelt goodbyes to my final aide, and a great friend. I think she's living in Washington now with her boyfriend. I still have her contact, but I haven't remembered to call.

Went to Petco to get fish, left with a puppy (and the fish). (Somewhere between Halloween and Summer).

So one time this year we went to Petsmart to get new fish for our fish tank. At the time, we had only 1 fish in the tank (that fish being a filter feeding fish I lovingly named Mud-skipper) since the other goldfish that lived in the tank died. So we got multiple fish, I only remember 2 of their names, which were Little Algae, and Sun Tzu (he had these 2 little strands, kinda like the things coi have on their faces). Unfortunately, almost all the fish died (eventually) except for little Algae (also Mud-skipper is ok). However, when we were preparing to go home, these people came to us and begged us to take a dog that they said they couldn't keep because there were too many of them. One of their dogs had puppies. My mom couldn't turn down their offer, so we took the dog home. Since we already have 3 dogs to deal with, our Dad didn't wanna keep her, so we gave her to our next door neighbors. They named her Luna, and the dog is doing fine to this day. (Side note, the fish you see here is Mudskipper who we did not get from Petsmart. The other fish in the tank is a little green fish, but he was in Spongebob's house so I didn't take a photo of him).
