   'You call me a fucking jackass and I will just make this hurt worse.'

I thought somebody might ask what Jumpstart is. Jumpstart is basicly a homeroom class. We go there every day at 11:30 and we read and do other activities and stuff. Heh. I had fun at school today, surprisingly enough as that is. English was hilarious. You see, at the end of class, we had to think about what this picture each of our groups had(the pictures were all the same) and then write down what we thought they were doing. I think my funniest idea was that the one guy was a collections agent and was their to collect money from the other guy who had been gambling and hadn't paid the money yet. My other funny one was that this one guy was one of the first Gangsters(he had on this stocking cap so he really looked liked one) and he was either jacking the other guy for his fish(the guy was using fish as fertilizer) or, he was collecting his due for protecting the fish dude's family. But the best part of the day, was Spanish/Culture. It was a riot. I really don't remember what made it so funny, it was probably Jeff's constant jokes about the Spanish word's or the way some of the words were pronounced. Overall: today was a pretty good day. The only bad part was I didn't bring gym clothes for gym. >.> Ah, oh well. I'll remember next week, hehe. Tomorrow my clothes from JCPenney should be coming in. Tomorrow is also the last day before our four day weekend(=D) so I'm quite anxious to go to my dad's house and actually be able to spend the weekend with him. Xio has requested that I type up a post she wrote for .hack//TRUTH since she still is unable to access the internet. I plan on doing that in a minute... Oh yeah. And to add on to Spanish/Culture, we got to choose Spanish name's that we would be called. I chose Cecilia. ^_^ A few of the name's some people chose were hilarious, such as (I'm just going to spell this as it sounds, I don't really know how to spell it)Hoarhey and Margarita. Oh and during lunch, Xio asked me what I wanted for my birthday so I started naming off things and she said, "Something I can afford!" and I laughed and started naming off the same things I had just said. Hehe... Ah and being back in school and waiting in the lunch line brought back fond memories of 7th grade, such as the old "Look! There's Rodney Mullen" line to get people to put their faces on the window of the door so you can smack the backs of their heads and, my personal favorite, the portable waterfall that's not really portable, just the waterfall is or something along that line. And they actually had food on the Ala Carte when we got up there! That's like, a miracle! Usually by the time we get up to the front where the food is, all the good stuff is all gone(ie: cookies, fries, pizza, bosco sticks). Ooh! Yay! Tomorrow morning! Tomorrow morning! Tomorrow morning Xio, Alexa, Travis and myself should all be in the same class during block 1! Yays! If you can't tell, I'm a bit hyperactive today. Its just that, English and Spanish/Culture were so hilarious! Ah, well, I think I'm going to type up that .hack//TRUTH post for Xio now. I'll get around to as many of your sites as I can, okay? -DDG

   'Take he out to squad car. Then he go to hospital.'

Anybody like my little Pokemon icons? I do. I love them. ^_^ I got them from Pokemon Elite 2000 if anyone's interested in knowing. Its one of my favorite sites about Pokemon. I frequent it about every day. Well, school wasn't too bad. Of course, today wasn't really a real school day. It was only a half a day and all we did was go over the school regulations manual, get a bunch of forms that our parents need to fill out, get our schedules, agendas, be sorted into our classes and play a little game. When they were calling off the classes I was pretty ticked. Instead of being with my three best friends I was stuck in a different class where I'd say I have about one or two good friends and the rest are just friends. This year they completely mixed the classes. Last year they sorted them by whether or not you were in band, quoir or band and quoir. This year they just mixed them all together so I'm the only one out of our little group of 4 in 8B, Travis is in 8C and Alexa and Xio are in 8A. The only class that the four of us have together is Discovery Language Arts with Ms. Mott. Xio and I also have the same Jumpstart, though. *grins* I got the Jumpstart teacher I had wanted! I feel so special! Most of the people in my class got Mr. Kraft as their Jumpstart teacher, and he's not really a very popular teacher, hehe. I don't really like my schedule all that much, either. We have P.E. first hour for the first three weeks of each Marking Period. We also have to take Spanish/Culture and Health, blech. Nothing against anyone or anything, but I don't want to learn any Spanish, nor do I want to learn more Social Studies stuff. We learn enough of that in the actual class. I mean, I like Social Studies and stuff and I'm really good at it, but its just not one of my interests in learning. Anyway, take a gander at my schedule if you'd like: Monday's and Wednesdays: Block 1(8:03-9:30): Rotation Class(P.E. first three weeks, Art second three weeks, and Health third three weeks) Block 2(9:35-11:00): Science Lunch(11:00-11:28) Jumpstart(11:32-12:00) Block 3(12:04-1:30): English Block 4(1:35-3:00): Spanish/Culture Tuesday's and Thursday's: Block 1(8:03-9:30): Discovery Language Arts Block 2(9:35-11:00): Social Studies Lunch(11:00-11:28) Jumpstart(11:32-12:00) Block 3(12:04-1:30): Math Block 4(1:35-3:00): CEWT(Core Explore With Technology) Friday's: Block 1: Rotation Block 2: Discovery Language Arts Block 3: Science Block 4: Social Studies Lunch Jumpstart Block 5: English Block 6: Math Block 7: Spanish/Culture Block 8: CEWT Heh, after typing this up here I've noticed a few things... 1. I have Science the exact same time I had it last year for both the first and second semester's. 2. I have CEWT at the same time I had it the 2nd semester of last year. 3. I actually have 8 classes instead of 7 this year. Last year I had one class that I had every single day, which meant that instead of having 8 classes, I had 7 because that one class that I had every day took the place of the 8th class that I would have had. I also noticed that I don't have Earth Science. Odd. Maybe I'll have it next semester. Gah, this year's going to suck. I mean, what the hell am I going to do without any friends in my class? Yeah, yeah, don't go saying 'you can always make new friends' because I'm pretty much friends with everyone in the 8th grade. Its a small school, y'know, so its pretty easy to become friends with anyone, but I don't have any 'good, good friends' in my class. Well, I guess there is this one new girl who I met today. Its her first year there and we kind of hit it off so I guess I'll probably become pretty good friends with her. Surprisingly, for such a small town and school, we had three new students this year. I think last year we had about three, but they each came in at different times of the year(one of them being me, lol). I met two of the three new kids, the one didn't get to meet was in a different class then me but I'm sure I'll meet him sometime. Yep. Three new kids. Two girls and a guy. And I really must say this, the guy's pretty cute, too. *blushes and hides* There's no school this Friday and Monday because of Labor Day weekend, yay! Isn't that just so awesome? My first week in school and we already have a four day weekend, hehe. We had the same thing last year, too. 7 days at school and we had a four day weekend already. Well, it was 4 days for me because I was at Cedar Point the first three days of school. *grin* I finished another Pokemon tape today and started the next one. I watched it until the Simpsons came on, then I stopped it and turned the TV to Fox. Alright, so I didn't actually watch the Simpsons because I got on the internet but, I don't care, lol. I finished two new graphics for my website. They're pretty cool. ^_^ You can see one of them by clicking here and the other by clicking here. I need to work on my website in 800x600 resolution. Because when I work on it in 1024x768, when its viewed in 800x600, the page is distored. T_T Ah, oh well. That's ok. ^_^ I'm fine with that, even if I do think 800x600 is a crappy resolution and that people shouldn't use it. Alright, well, I think I shall post this and then check everyone's sites real quick before I get off the internet. -DDG

   'He's a trauma patient. His parents were murdered right in front of him.'

Yes, only one more day. One more day 'till my dad gets out of jail! I'm excited, he's excited, everyone's excited! Along with that, I start school tomorrow and tomorrow is my big fat cat Calico's 2nd birthday. Hmm...I wonder where she is right now, I'd like to give her a hug today 'cause I wont be able to tomorrow. *glances around for her* Oh well. She's probably sleeping somewhere. I don't think I've posted one day after another like this for a long time. Usually I just like to post a post then let it sit for a few days to make sure that everyone gets to see it before I post again. But now that I'm participating in TehSillyCircus 2, I'm forced to post every day and come up with a new topic to talk about or atleast ramble on about something for awhile. I wrote up the backstory for my horror RPG last night, but I plan on making several revisions. I just don't trust work that I wrote at 5 AM. From what I've written, though, I think its going to be quite a successful RPG. Its seeming somewhat like Resident Evil in a way, but its still not that, heh. I'm going to give people quite a lot of flexibility with their posts. They'll have an entire deserted town to explore and then after that they'll have a huge, abadoned/haunted mansion to explore. Of course, they'll have to watch out for the occasional zombie and psycopathic murderer. Mimmi, if you'd like to have an escapade of sorts in my closet, be my guest but just be careful. I have quite a few odd things in there, such as a keg of beer. Yes, a keg of beer. My mom got it for me because it was a collectors keg, its painted like a Red Wings jersey. ^_^ I made a new banner for my website last night. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out, although, I think I'm going to spend some more time and redo it later. Until then, if you want to see it, you can view it at my forums. Ooh, I just remembered a good thing about tomorrow being the first day of school: its only a half day! Yay! Despite my complete disliking of school, I'm quite excited to be going back. I know I've said this before, but I really am. I'm going to be an 8th grader which means that I'll be able to pick on all of the little 7th and 6th graders! Mwahahaha! *coughs* You wanna know what just screams obssession? 16 video tapes, all full of Pokemon episodes that I recorded back in 2001. I found them all when I went on a basement exploration adventure here at my dad's a little while back. After finding them, I grabbed a bag and put them all in there. I still like Pokemon. Of course I do, I mean, I talk about my Pokemon games almost every day, so how could you think that I still wouldn't like Pokemon? But, anyway, I'm trying to watch all of the video tapes, but its proving quite difficult. I started a day or two ago and I'm only on the second tape. >.> Well, atleast I'll have something to watch in the afternoons after school while I write, draw or play video games. I mean anything, even if I'm not paying any attention to it, is better than watching soap opera's, court shows and talk shows. As my birthday draws ever closer, I'm still torn on what I want. I definitely want the new MGS comic, if its out at that time and Pokemon FireRed(I'll get LeafGreen from someone else). I'd also like a few Anime DVD's or some Manga, but I'll have to make another trip to Sam Goody to write down what I want so my mom knows exactly what to get. And the countdown 'till lucky 13 begins: 15 days and counting... -DDG

'Hey, when you're as quiet and unnoticed as me, you overhear a lot of things.'

I've been playing Pokemon Crystal quite a lot lately. I haven't actually progressed any in the game, but I have been training my Pokemon quite a bit. I'm finally achieving my dream of having an entire team of Eevee evolutionary forms. I've got Espeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Vaporeon and an egg that's going to hatch into the Eevee that I'm going to evolve into an Umbreon. Other than that I've got a Farfetch'd as my flying type so I'm not stuck walking around everywhere. Problems resolved Yep, that guy and I who had been fighting on my friend's forum have finally resolved our issues. The guy was a Global Mod before everything started and now that its all over, his position was revoked and its now mine, lol. I don't mind being a Global Mod. I mean, its just a position, that's all. I've always been happy with the three boards that I moderated and I was never jealous of the others who had the Global Mod. and Administrator positions. Of course, that's not to say that I don't want the position, its just that I was never really worried about having it. Now that I do have it, though, I'm going to make sure that I do my best to keep the forums in tip-top shape. As the coming day approaches, I dread it more and more... School's coming up in 1 day. Yes, I have 1 more day to enjoy the salvation of summer. If the school's going to send out those damn schedules, they've got one day left to do it. My new clothes from JCPenney should be coming in soon as well. Enough to wear one every day for almost two whole weeks I like hoodie sweatshirts. Not only do I like them, I love them. They're the only kinds of sweatshirts that I like to wear. After ordering new clothes from JCPenney, I now believe I have atleast 11 hoodie sweatshirts, almost enough to wear one every day for two whole weeks. I'm sure that's exactly what I'll do, too. New haircut I think I've finally decided on a way to style my hair every morning that's extremely simple. I've done it so that my bangs hang over the edges of my glasses, but don't completely hang in my eyes so my mom doesn't get mad. She didn't say anything about it today, so I figure she's ok with it. Oh gee...I've got a beating coming to me once school starts. Xio says she's going to beat me up for laughing at her over the phone. I can't even remember what I was laughing at her about and I'm sure she wont remember either, but she'll still remember that she needs to beat me up... My Gohan fan art piece will be up a little bit after I post this, so be sure to look for it. ^_^ Other than that, I think that's all I really have to say. -DDG

'Blah, blah, blah. Tell me something I haven't heard a million times before.'

Heh. I actually haven't written that scene yet that that quote will go with...so, sneak previews I guess. ^_^ Er, yeah. Slow internet connection. That's what I meant...Thanks, Azure... I always seem to mix the two up when I've got a million things on my mind. Of course. The computer is slow, too. Well, I got my haircut today. I'd said I'm...somewhat satisfied with how it turned out. All I'll say is that I knew I shouldn't have listened to my mom and gotten bangs...Gah, whatever. I'll live. Its not that much anyway. My mom hates the way I style my bangs, though. I like to flip them in front of my eyes and she forces me to flip them off to the sides. I think my bangs look horrible flipped off to the sides but she just wont listen... So I figure when school starts I'll just style my bangs the way she wants them before I leave to go to school, then once I'm at school I'll style them the way I want. =P I do think that my new haircut looks better on me without my glasses. Glasses + new haircut = dork. Yeah... Anyway, I dragged my mom into Sam Goody so I could check out the TokyoPop stand and to my relief, they had .hack//Legend of the Twilight Volume 1 in stock, yay! After we bought it it was only about an hour before I was finished with the thing, heh. I found the first volume to be...much less humorous than the second. But I'm glad to have gotten the first volume now. I drew Gohan last night. I did a pretty good job considering I have't drawn any Dragonball Z characters in awhile, but, then again, I don't know why I didn't think it might not turn out well. I mean, Dragonball Z was the first Anime that I could draw really well and still can. I can draw most of the characters without even having a picture or something as a guide. I plan on going to my dad's next weekend, 'cause he's getting out on Tuesday, yay! Tuesday is also the day that I go back to school and the 2nd birthday of my big fat cat Calico, the only surviving offspring of my beloved and deceased, Eevee. *takes a moment of silence before continuing* Hm. I'm still waiting for my schedule to come. It looks as if now its not going to come 'till Monday. I wanted it to come earlier so I could have more time to memorize it, but I'm fine with it coming so late. We're also hoping that my clothes from JCPenney come on Monday as well, so I have something new to wear to school on Tuesday. Bah. The summer break went by too fast. Oh well. I guess I'm sort of ready to go back to school. I've been getting so bored lately, I need a change of pace and scenery. Of course, by the time I've spent about two months in Earth Science, watching videos and going to the computer lab almost every single day, I'm going to be wishing that it was still summer vacation. ;_; Ah, well, I hope I don't get stuck with a crappy schedule like last year's second Semester schedule. Now that was horrible. We had three science classes in a row on Monday's and Wednesday's for the first three weeks of each Marking period. It was so...horrible. Well, Lonnie and my mom just headed off to a Wedding Reunion, saying that I could hang around on the computer 'cause there was nothing else for me to do so I'll probably be on AIM Express in a bit if anyone wants to talk to me, heh. But, I guess that's all from me, so I'm gonna post this and go visit everyone's sites now. ^_^ -DDG

'Eh, what can you do?'

Hm. Seems like I've used that one before, but, I'm feeling to lazy to grab one of my notebooks and find a good quote to use, so I figured I'd just use one that I could remember off the top of my head. Its been storming a lot around here lately. Probably account of the slow moving low pressure system. It rained the night before last with a bunch of thunder and lighting and last night there was some thunder, not much visible lightning though. Right now, its starting cloud up a bit. It was clear earlier, but I guess this low pressure system just doesn't want to go away so soon. I've finally got a decent idea for an RPG. An original one at that. All I'm going to tell you is that its going to be a horror RPG. One that involves all of the worst horror cliche's that there are. You know. Like pairing off into groups to find a way out. Exploring a deserted town or staying the night in a creepy mansion with strange effects like lightning that flashes every few minutes. I'm going to do my best to make this a successful RPG. At the moment I'm thinking of possible plots and whatnot. I plan on putting a lot of effort into this, so when it goes up, I hope all of my time and effort don't go to waste. >.> Tonight's the second to last episode of .hack//Legend of the Twilight. I can't believe its almost over. I can't believe out of the entire series I've only missed about, three episodes. Normally when I'm trying to watch Anime that only shows on a certain night, I miss almost all of the episodes. Even so, I plan on buying the three DVD's so I can watch the episodes that I missed. I've been playing Grand Theft Auto III since about...6:30 I believe. I'm not really trying to accomplish anything. I guess I'm just trying to hit another milestones with the 'People You've Wasted' stat, heh. I'm at around 11,000 right now, but in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City I'm at around 13,000. So I've got quite a lot of people to kill to catch up. Damnit. I hate this computer. Its fucking slow and annoying as hell. That's one good thing about school coming up: fast computers. Alright. So the computers are pieces of shit, but atleast the internet runs pretty fast. Tomorrow my mom'll be taking me to get my haircut and to go shopping a bit. My mom and I both agreed that I need a new hairstyle so we plan on getting my hair layered, a style that I'm quite fond of. Well, I'm going to post this and go visit everyone's sites now. Oh, and Mimmi, my bed's quite comfy, too. ^_^ -DDG

'Please, please don't kill me! I, I swear I'll stop sellin' it! I swear! I--'

Monday August 23rd, 2004 After spending hours and hours of talking about guys we liked from Anime's, the fox that we saw run off behind the cabin next to us and the fear that Jack the Ripper, Freddy, Jason and the Blair Witch were going to come after us, we finally fell asleep at around 3 AM. We woke up a bit late in the day, but we still woke up. We woke up to Lonnie trying to open our bedroom door. He couldn't do it, 'cause the doorknob had fell off during one of our excursions into the kitchen to get something to drink and we'd not bothered to get it back on. So, after opening the door for him, we saw that we were starting to pack up. My mom told Xio and I to start packing our stuff up now, because it might take awhile(our room was a complete mess...). It really didn't take us all that long. But once we were finished we set our bags on our bed and went outside to sit at the picnic table. It was then that my mom said that we still had one more day to stay there, but that we were leaving today because we were getting pretty bored. I agreed and said that there was no way I was going to spend another night in that bed. Soon we were on our way home, where Xio and I had a good time playing .hack//QUARANTINE and watching all of the extras and whatnot on the LIMINALITY DVD's. Heh. We found it extremely hilarious while watching the movie 'Aura and Comrades', when two of Lios' fellow system Administrators shouted out 'Go Chief!' and he got ticked off and yelled back 'I'm Section Chief now!'. That one scene right there has inspired a few posts that we're going to write for .hack//TRUTH. TehSillyCircus 2 Hehe, yesterday, I was extremely bored so...I decided to create my own TehSillyCircus 2 banner type thing. You can find it at the bottom of the page where quiz results are supposed to go. Sara was right. The quiz results spot at the end of the page is a good place to put other things. *grins* A new RPG I finally got off my lazy bum and signed-up for a new RPG. Actually, I helped out in creating the RPG as well. The guy who created it wanted some help so I PMed him about it and we had a pretty nice chat about it over AIM. We finally settled on a storyline and once he had it posted in the Inn, I signed up for it. You can check it out if you like. Its called .hack//revised. School...the horror... School'll be starting for me on Tuesday. ;_; My mom had me look through the JCPenney catalog today and pick out some school clothes that she's going to order in a minute. She also said that on Saturday we'd go and buy anything that we couldn't find in the magazine and that she'd get me a haircut, yay! My schedule should be coming in the mail shortly. Oh gee. I really can't wait to see how crappy my classes are going to be arranged. With my luck I'll probably have to have Social Studies first thing on like, Monday's or something. Gah, that'd be horrible. I'm also wondering who my Jumpstart teacher'll be. I'm hoping for Mrs. Stratton, the English teacher. She's like, one of my favorite teacher's so it'd be great if she ended up my Jumpstart teacher. I also have to hope that Xio and I get the same Jumpstart. I don't really know how they arrange the Jumpstart classes, so I'm not sure if we'll have the same Jumpstart as last year. Alright... Well, guess I'm going to post this, visit as many sites as I can, then get off and go watch Big Brother 5. Tonight's eviction night, so I can't miss that! -DDG

'Screw you, Sonny. Screw you!'

Sunday, August 22nd, 2004 Being awoken by my watch alarm at 7 AM after not being able to fall asleep until 3 AM was quite annoying, so I decided to just turn the thing off and go back to sleep, not waking up again until around noon. I would have kept sleeping but my mom told Xio and I to get up so we didn't 'sleep the day away'. Meh, I get lectured about sleeping 'till 2 in the afternoon all the time so its nothing new to me. I woke up with an extremely sore back and shoulders from sleeping on that very uncomfortable bed. Xio said she was pretty sore, too, but that she hadn't had too much trouble falling asleep. I'd had the worst time falling asleep. Its just extremely hard for me to fall asleep without a TV. You see, I have thing about having a TV on while I sleep; if I have one on, then I can easily fall asleep, but if I don't have one on or don't have one at all, its extremely difficult for me to fall asleep because I'll start to think and when I start to think I cannot fall asleep. Its an interesting thing, but I'm not alone with the problem. My mom has the same exact troubles with falling asleep. But, anyway, after sicking at the picnic table outside on the deck grumbling for a little while and ignoring everyone(my mom made a crack that she'd never seen me act like this and probably hadn't because I usually slept past this part of the day), Xio finally dragged me down to the lake where we sat on the dock and looked for huge fish. We did find some. One was under the dock and the other I saw swim off into the weeds out in the middle of the lake. By this time my mom had came down to the beach and was sitting in a beach chair, talking to Lonnie via direct connect on her Nextel. Lonnie and Blaike had left earlier that morning to go dirt bike riding on the trails and he was now calling my mom. We shouted over to my mom to that we had found some big fish. She told Lonnie about it and he said that he'd be back soon to come see. Once he'd gotten back, Xio and I laughed at his dorky dirt bike pants and waited for him to finish his lunch and change. After he did, he came back down to the lake with the fishing poles and whatnot. He fished for a little while and had no luck in catching the big one. I had absolutely no luck, nor did Xio. Hm. I can't really recall too much of interest that really happened. We did go back to the flea market, where my mom wouldn't buy me a book that I wanted. I protested that she's always telling me I should read more, then she protested back with that she doesn't want me reading books about Mafians or psychopathic killers. >.> All I had wanted was either The Gainesville Ripper or Underboss: the Life Story of Sammy the Bull Gravano. The two books were really cheap, too, but she wouldn't buy them for me... We also built a sand castle of sorts. It started out with me digging a moat then turned into a great idea for a new server for .hack. After having to destroy the 'server' we went back up to the cabin and drew it on paper. Ah, this camping trip was marvelous. So many great ideas were came up with for my story and for .hack//TRUTH. *big thumbs up* Yes, Shin. Definitely add me to the competition. Thanks a bunch for allowing me to join so late. ^_^ Gah, this sucks How come every time I go and try to write my post, I forget what I wanted to talk about? Oh, right. I've got this interesting idea. You see, there are these interesting, odd little things that have popped up in my life and keep popping up again that not many people know about, and if they do find out about them, they don't exactly understand them. What I was thinking was to have a weekly 'Story of: (insert interesting or odd thing that needs explaining here)' thing, where I explain about a certain thing that has came up in my life. The most interesting and very first one I might do is the Story of: Johnson. In short(and so as not to spoil the story) it was a thing that Tre came up with. Johnson a sort of bodyguard and he always betrays the Mob and gets killed...then there's Johnitello, John, Johnny, etc, who do the same thing. See? Now that's something that people might hear about and not understand. Something that I could explain. I've had this idea for awhile now but I just haven't bothered to talk about it. Hm. I better get off to bed. Its 5:10 AM here and if I want to try and get up early to enjoy the peace and quiet of my dad's house(my step-sister'll be at school tomorrow and I'll have the house to myself pretty much), then I better go to bed right now. Although, I highly doubt I'll be up before noon. Oh, and be sure to read yesterday's post(I posted it pretty late in the evening, so barely anyone got to see it) and to wish Baron and Mimmi a happy belated birthday. -DDG

'Did you really have to cause a fucking scene? Did you?'

Well, I got back from camping yesterday. The trip was enjoyable. A few things weren't all that great, but it was still pretty fun. Saturday, August 21st, 2004 A somewhat early wake up call, Xio and I were both forced to wake up around 10 AM. After waking up, we dressed and loaded our bags into the truck so that we could slack off the rest of the time before we left. We, well, Xio played Orphen for a little while and then soon enough, we were climbing into the back seat of Lonnie's truck. We had took a lot of luggage for the trip. Three large duffel bags(one was mine, one was Blaike's and the other was my mom and Lonnies), Xio's backpack, a decent sized tote filled with food, fishing gear, dirt bike gear and some other stuff. Then we had a trailer hooked up to the back of the truck with the two dirtbikes in it, along with a duffel bag that wouldn't fit into the truck. I believe I was the only person who brought entertainment for the car ride there. I had both of my Gameboy's, all of my games, my CD player, CD's and notebook. The car ride there was extremely boring and it was around two hours long(we left at 11 AM and arrived at around 1 PM). We had quite a hard time find the camp ground and had to ask direction about five different times. Once we had finally arrived, however, we found out that we weren't going to be allowed to enter our cabin until 3 PM. So we headed off to a restaurant for lunch. I ordered what I usually order, a cheeseburger, no onions with a side of fries. I also, like usually, could not finish my fries after eating a massive burger. T_T I even tried relieving myself in the bathroom to clear up some room so I could finish, but, it was no good. And, no, I did not try to force myself to throw up. After finishing lunch, Xio and I had an enlightening chat while Lonnie was paying. I pointed out the camera that was across the room, above the table that we had sat at, aimed at the cash register, and told her that if someone were to just tilt it up towards the ceiling a little, that the cash register would be out of its vision. Jee, that's what I get for playing all of those stealth games... Well, anyway, after paying, we hopped back into the truck and headed down to the flea market that was going on that day. We still had another half hour, so it was some time to kill. I don't believe anybody bought anything. Although, Lonnie did almost end up buying some really nice shoes, but he decided not to and we continued browsing. After about 15 minutes, we left and headed back to the campsite, deciding to wait out the last 15 minutes there. Once we finally got to go into our cabin, we took a break to get food put away and whatnot. After all of that was done, though, we headed down to the lake to check it out. I must say, we definitely weren't impressed. The water was weedy(extremely weedy), cold and full of sharp shells. There were some fish, however, so we did fish a bit, all we got were small one's, though. Not much of interest really happened the rest of the day, except that the paddle boat that Xio and I took out into the lake was defective. Just as we were going back to shore, the chain came off and the cover for the chain was so close to it we couldn't get it back on. T_T Then, we had to get off the thing and swim it back to shore, while Blaike took pictures of us with a Digital Camera. Blech, that lake bottom was extremely nasty. We tried swimming after our paddle boat catastrophe, but when I dropped off the dock, my foot sunk through the weeds and straight into five inches of muck. Let me tell you, three seconds after touching that muck I was scurring back to shore. Then, later that evening, Xio and I discovered a few bad things about our room. 1.) the doorknob fell off as Xio was turning it. 2.) the blinds in the window above my head were very close to falling. 3.) the bed squeaked with every single movement(it made it sound like Xio and I were doing 'naughty things'. Which we weren't. I swear.) 4.) and last but not least, the bed was extremely uncomfortable. I woke up in the morning with a sore back and shoulders. Ugh. The Last Don Xio gave me this book when we picked her up on Friday. She said that her dad had told her to give it to me because it was about Mafians. I've been deeply immersed in the book for the last four days or so, now. Its really good. Its called: The Last Don by Mario Puzo. Rayquaza shall wreak its havoc on the world under my control! Xio got me through the Sky Tower. She is such an awesome friend! Now I have Rayquaza. *grins* Well, stay tuned for tomorrow's update, which will be what happened while I was camping on Sunday! And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go write a hilarious post for .hack//TRUTH. -DDG
