Today Chip Adams invited me over to his house after school. He's kind of a strange kid and we've never really been friends, but we've been classmates for like forever, so I went. They had this weird white carpet in every room, and the whole place smelled like boiled cucumbers. I looked at his collection of tiny plastics and we played a little Evil Punk 3, and then I went home. It was pretty awkward the whole time. I hope he doesn't ask me again.

Yesterday we went exploring in the abandoned mineshaft over by Old Man McLaughlin's farm. He got mad and yelled at us for trespassing, but we managed to grab a neat gold compass before we left.
