Ah, the power of cheese. o_O
Hey guys!! LOOK! She's BACK! KATIE ACTUALLY SURVIVED A FEW DAYS WITHOUT THE COMPUTER!!! AAHHHH!! ^^;;; lol yeah... ... ... -.-;; though I did bring my Gamecube on the trip lol... I guess when I would have been online, I was on that, playing Baten Kaitos lol... Well, I guess this is the post where I tell EVERY LITTLE FREAKIN' DETAIL of my trip, right? ^_~ haha just kidding, I'll keep it much shorter than that... maybe lol.... (oh, and by the way... uhm... that mermaid pic I spoke briefly about last time.. uh... didn't get finished ^^;; sorry guys!!! I'll try to finish it this next week.... really!! lol)

Well, let me begin by saying that this was a trip to Hell. ^_^;; Yep. That pretty much sums it up. ^_^;; Let's see, where to start.... Well, we ended up driving nearly 7 hours to a place when it should have just taken about 3-4 hours... See, we were going to stay at this condo in Sandestin, Florida- my sister's boyfriend owns the condo, so it was free lol... We had never been down there, so we uhm got a little lost lol... Of course, my sister didn't make things any easier... She gave us MapQuest directions there, but... she typed in the WRONG PLACE. She typed in "Sandpiper Circle" when we needed to get to a "Sandpiper Village." -.-;; Yeah. My thoughts exactly. She's a REEEAAAL smart one, lemme tell you. Well, it could have been worse- at least the place was still in Sandestin lol and not in some other town. -__-;; When we got to Sandpiper CIRCLE, lol we found that it led to this neighborhood lol, to some random person's house... then we called Brittany and complained lol...

Anywho, after FINALLY finding the right place - Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort- we find that the power is off. Well, we messed around with the breaker box for a while, but nothing worked. Finally my dad calls security to ask about it, when we find out that the whole area had been w/o power for a while... it wasn't anything we did lol THANK GOD! So we unpack, the power comes back on soon after, and everything's going great... We go out to eat, get some ice-cream lol, and everything is doing fine. My sister and her boyfriend (and her dog, Mercedes; Sadie is her nickname) drive up a few hours later, and we talk about random things blah-de-blah-de-blah.... and the end of the first day is okay. lol.

On the second day we realized this wasn't the place for us. lol. My dad loved it, though, because the condo was right on a golf course- he and Derik, the boyfriend lol, went to play some golf, with my sister driving the cart lol. My mom and I, however, had nothing to do. At all. -.-;; See, to get to the beach in Sandestin, you'd have to drive across the street from the condo, then down some other streets, turn at this one place lol, and well, it was just a big hassle. AND there wasn't a pool anywhere! T__T;; Needless to say, I wasn't even able to TOUCH the water on this trip... We go to Florida, and we don't even go swimming... damn. -.-;; *sigh* So yeah, I'm still pale as a ghost. Bleh.

Then came the rain. And wind. That darn tropical storm. We couldn't do anything else, so we went home on Saturday. -_-;; Though we did go to Books-A-Million in Sandestin one time lol... where I picked up the first volume of Immortal Rain.. *_* ooooh greatness.... I love this manga already... I must must must must MUST buy the next one VERY SOON. o_O; lol ^_^;;

So yeah. That's how my weekend went. ^_^;; *twitch* I do hope everyone else had a better time this weekend than I did. -_-;;

I GOT SOME AWESOME PICTURES THOUGH!! lol I'll post the link to my picturetrail site later when I upload all my photos, ok? Have a spaztastic day, everyone! And sorry for the long post. -.-;; lol. But you knew that was coming. ^_~
