I'm Gone...

[Nuketheplace]

While as I'm typing this, I realize that this will be my last time on the computer for a month,  I'm leaving tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous about exactly what I'm going to do, but I'm more nervous about what I might forget.  

I think I have everything packed, but I only have three things for entertainment.  My hippy sticks, cards and a book.  I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on what else I should bring to keep myself entertained.  The only rules are that it has to be small and I can't use batteries,  any ideas?

WTF are hippy sticks?

I agree with bob on the mini chess set. You can't go wrong.

Hippy sticks are Juggling sticks or devil sticks.  I just call them hippy sticks because that what the kids at school call them.  You can see some examples of the sticks I use here.  If you look at the examples of the advanced tricks I can do most of those and more.  /me ends brag.

Oh devil sticks. Yeah those are wicked fun. I used to be pretty good with em but don't still practice unfortunatly. I'll have to get another set to keep my hands busy when I'm not juggling or computing!

[Nuketheplace]

I use the sticks to help me focus.  The day I found them again (I lost them for about a year) I got more work done than any other day that school year.

I think this is what you had in mind.

Thats what I get for not checking my posts.  On a side note ninja editing makes bobs post wrong.

No can do.  I'm going to be sleeping in a tent with two other guys.  I don't think that will go over very well.

Oh @o you should really pick up your Devil sticks again.  There really easy to remember how to use.  When I found mine again I was almost if not more skilled with them than the day I lost them.

So I'm looking at their 'tricks' and I see them do this wicked spin-toss thing that I suck at.

Then I see 'advanced tricks' and I cried when I watched those... god I suck.

[Nuketheplace]

Uranium - 235 remember there a lots of different styles.  You may not be good at that, but you might have different skills with the sticks.  I for one can't do anything beyond a infinite role, but I can perform lots of different spin tricks at really fast speeds.  Just find your own style and perfect that.

Edit: seeing as this may or may not be my last time posting on the forums for a month.  I might as well tell you all that when I get back I expect a full debriefing on what has happened in the past month.  Just start bookmarking stories now

devil sticks were fun up until when i lost them ... i should go get another set

back on topic: if there could be problems with 1 hustler and 3 guys, get a couple back issues ^^
and i can't think of anything that doesn't use batteries except for travel board games and a few decks of cards

For focus I like to freestyle juggle. It's pretty relaxing and very meditative. If that's a word...

I used to have a diabolo and I could do just about everything with it, oh good times. Now I lost it, after my sticks broke from some violent 80ft high throwing-and-catching.

Anyway, have fun Nuke. Bring Sonic some nice spiders.  ^_^

I had a bola, holy crap that thing was scary... I literally blew a tree up with it... it broke after a while though, and I was sad

Hafaf, hippy sticks and diabolos ^_^, a good hacky sack is all you need, not easy to break either! Also easy to keep track of because you can just keep it in your pocket 24/7! Too bad I'm lazy, otherwise I'd have me a sack <_<.

Looks like I missed nuke too, hafaf  .

[@gentOrange]

On that hacky sack thing. I can't believe I didn't mention that.

And for anyone who says it's a stoners game. As many computer geeks in my school (one of the largest in canada at 4k students) played hack as the heads :p.

[Nuketheplace]

Nope Fool you didn't miss me.   As I'm typeing this I'm waiting for my crew leader to get here.  I'm bored out of my mind and I think I'm about to go play some flash games.  This is really going to be the last time I see you all, so for the last time good bye.
