'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
