   Yay!

Hey everyone! I'm at my friend's house. Just a quick update for now. I have officially made it to 400 visits! Yay! I'll add to this later on. Talk to you later.
Edit:
I'm back. Thanks for the comments! I'm back at my friend's house again (we went back to my house for dinner). I have enough time for a real update now though. Let's see. Today, I woke up to my brother and his friend's screaming at the TV for whatever reason around 1 PM. My mom comes in and tells me I have a dentist appointment at 1:30 so I quickly get ready and go. I got back around 2:30, called Andrew (my friend whose house I'm at now) and went back to my house for a while. Then another person just sort of showed up and we just sort of sat aorund taking turns at Excitebike for NES. Then, Andrew and I came here and I posted what I had before. We went back to my house for dinner and now I'm back here watching him play Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, also for NES. Yeah, that's pretty much my whole day. How was yours?
Edit:
Oh yeah, almost forgot. My episodes 1-10 of Naruto finally finished downloading. I'll start watching them soon. Thanks for the comments and the congratulations!

   I'm back (for real this time)

Hey everyone. I'm back to stay until July 30 when I go back to Maine again with my mom and brother this time (it's a yearly thing). Sorry about not explaining anything yetserday. I'll start from the begining. First, when we got back from Maine, my friend stayed at my house and was supposed to go to his dad's house that Saturday. His dad called on Friday night and asked if I wanted to go to the Yankees game with them. That's why I was in New York, shizuka. I had to leave Saturday and stay at my friend's dad's girlfriend's house (parents are divorced) the night before which was fun and we had a really good dinner. While there was nothing to do, I went online to just tell everyone where I'd be. The thing was, it was a 56k modem and was running very slow. I know what you're talking about onewingedangel but I also had my friend there and I wasn't sure how the AOL account was charged either. So that's why I couldn't get on yesterday. Anyway, the game was good. The Yankees won 10-3 and had 5 homeruns to it was a fun game to watch. What was not fun on the other hand was getting out of the parking garage. We were parked on the top and it took us 45 minutes just to get to the bottom. Over all, it took about an hour and 15 minutes to get back to my house which usually takes 15 minutes on a good day. Anyway, sorry for the long post. I just thought I'd explain what was going on. I'm going to your sites now. Thank you all for your comments! Have a great day!
Edit:
I accidentally wrote June 30 above before. It was supposed to be July. I fixed it up there just now. Thanks for seeing that fallen!

   Sorry

Hey everyone. I won't be able to get to your sites today. Sorry about that. I'm in New York City and on a very slow internet connection and it takes too long to load. I'll be back on tomorrow to catch up.

   I'm back!

Hey everyone! I'm back. I really missed you all. It was horrible, not being able to get online for 8 days. Yes, I know I said 10 days but we left a little early. Thank you all for your comments! I really enjoyed reading them on the way home. The trip was pretty good but genereally boring. To make this point I'd like to share a quote. "But that's the beauty of Maine, there's nothing here." - my friend's mom. That pretty much sums it up. There really is nothing there. There is a movie theater which we went to four times though. That part I really like because it's only $3.75 for a ticket as opposed to here in New Jersey where it's $9.50 plus tax (no tax on the tickets in Maine). We saw Harry Potter 3, Spiderman 2, King Arthur, and Chronicles of Riddick. They were all pretty good. Other than that, we spent most of our time in the basement watching TV or playing video games because there really wasn't anything else to do. When it was nice out though, we went swimming in the lake that the house is on. They bought a jet ski too so that made it fun. Over all, I had a good time. I'm going to go visit all of your sites now. Sorry this was so long. Thanks for reading ^_^ Oh yeah, almost forgot - Happy belated 4th of July everyone!

   I'm off...

Well, I'm in the car on the way to my 2nd trip of 3 to Maine this year. This one will be a 10 day stay (hey look, it rhymes - I didn't try to do that). Anyway, there's not much time left until this battery runs out (42 minutes to be exact - more than I thought). We should be there in about 3 and a half hours. I'm here with my friend and he's playing the Megaman Aniversary Collection for GameCube (it's a minivan with a tv in it). We played Four Sword Adventures before. Not much else is going on though would you expect much different? We are in a car after all (oh no, I did it again, more rhyming). I'm going to get going before this rhyming gets out of hand. Have a great week and I'll see you all in 10 days!

   Maine

Hey everyone. I'm leaving for Maine tomorrow. I should be able to get on in the car on the way up because my dad gave me the laptop again but if I can't, I'll be back in 10 days so sorry in advance for not making it to your sites. I won't be able to get online in Maine because the wireless card doesn't get a signal there so the next time I'll be able to get online besides tomorrow will be the Saturday after this coming one. I have to get going now though so I'll talk to you all later. Have a great week!

   Hey

Hey everyone. I have officially completly lost track of time. I have been a day off in thinking what day it is for the majority of the week yesterday included. I thought it was Monday when I woke up yesterday and kept thinking it was a day ahead almost every day before that since last Monday. I don't exactally know why though I guess it has something to do with summer vacation. Anyway, got the .hack//SIGN Volume 6 DVD yesterday so the set is complete. By the way, I keep saying yesterday but I feel like I should be saying today. It's 1:14 am rite now on Monday morning but I don't count it as Monday until I wake up tomorrow. I've been playing The Legend of Zelda (NES) a lot recently. It's a great game. The first one in the series. It's been a while since my original Nintendo has worked but Atmosk helped me fix it a couple weeks ago so it works again ^_^ Not much else to say rite now so I'll talk to you all later. Have a great day!

   Suspense

That was definitaly the most suspenseful 20 minutes that I can remember. For Christmas, I got volumes 1-5 of the .hack//SIGN DVDs. Volumes 3-5 were the limited edition ones, 1 and 2 weren't because we couldn't find them. My dad said if we could find the other two, he'd get them. Anyway, today, I fianlly found the limited edition volume 1 on Ebay. It was the only one on all of Ebay that was still sealed. It was also $140. My parents agreed to buy it as an early birthday present. I went back to Ebay to keep track of the time. With under an hour left, my internet cut out. This was the worst thing that could have happened. I called Comcast and they told me that there was a blackout in my area (not electrical, just for cable). This would have made sense except for the fact that my friend, less than a half mile away, had a connection. It got to the point where it couldn't wait any longer. I called my friend (before I knew he had a connection) and asked him if he could get on Ebay. He said he could so I gave him the item number. There was 18 min 23 sec left on the auction. I couldn't think of what to do. Then, he reminded me of the laptop. Of course! The laptop! It has its own wireless internet connection from Sprint! I was saved! I turned it on and got on Ebay. It was going extremely slow. We placed a bid with under 10 minutes to go. Now, all that was left to do was wait. My friend (still on the phone) kept me up to date with the time left and the number of bids (which I was praying would not go over 1 - mine being the 1 of course). It got down to the last 10 seconds and still no more bids. Then... *suspense*... I won!!! I was so happy when I found out! While on the phone waiting for the end, my friend made a very good analogy for the situation. He said "This is like defusing a bomb. *Person in background* Cut the blue wire! *my friend* They're both blue!" This is how if felt but I'm happy now because I must have cut the rite wire ^_^. Thank you Atmosk! (my friend who helped me with this) And thank you dad! (for buying it - he doesn't read this though) I also got the first DVD (the limited edition one) of .hack//Legend of the Twilight (which started airing on Cartoon Network 2 weeks ago) today. It was a good day for me. How was yours? By the way, I feel like I forgot to add something to this story. I had typed the entire thing once and then something happened and the textbox cleared itself so I had to retype it. If I remember anything else, I'll add it later.

   Not bored - Yay!

Today (well yesterday actually - it's 12:08 AM now) was a great day. I woke up at around 1 PM which is uncommon for me. I usually don't sleep that late. My friend was allready here though I sort of knew he was because I heard my brother talking to him on the phone. I went downstairs and we played cards for a little while and then we went and beat Dungeons and Dragons which only actually took 4 days so I thought it was very short. Later on, we went to that food tasting thing in town but I didn't actually eat anything. Here's how it workd. You bought a ticket for $10 and then went and stood in endless lines to get a free sample from the places that actually participated in this. They were just samples from the restaurants though, not full meals. Either way, my friend and I didn't want to stand in those lines so we just went down to the dollar store to get something to drink. We spent a while there and ended up at the karate place here. We spent a long time there just looking around. After it was over, we went to talk to one of the instructors (who I allready sort of knew) about the classes there. I'm planning on taking a sword class there starting in about 2 weeks. Anyway, I asked him to see one of the swords we would be using and he said he would show us if we helped bring stuff inside. We did and then he did one better - he actually did more of a sword demonstration for us which was really cool. I can't really describe what he did but it was amazing to watch. He said it is something they have been doing in Japan for over 900 years. Anyway, after that, we went back to my house and played cards a little more. Then, another one of my friends called and asked if we wanted to go to the movies. We went to see Dodgeball and I must say, I liked it. It was really funny. I got back around midnight and now I'm typing this. It seems to be getting pretty long so I"m going to let you all go now. Thanks for taking the time to read all of this (if you did) and have a great day!

Thought all this text was getting sort of boring so I figured I'd throw in a picture ^_^

   Dungeons and Dragons

Well, back to nothing to do. My friend and I just beat Dungeons and Dragons. That leaves us with a grand total of zero things left to do for now. Tonight will be fun though. Me and a couple of my friends are going to this thing in my town tonight where restaurants give samples of their foods. I think it's $10 to get in but it will be worth it. Free (well more or less free anyway) food is always fun! That starts at around 6 so we have about 45 minutes to kill now. We're just watching old game shows that used to be on Nickelodeon but are now on some digital cable channel (Nick GAS - Games and Sports). I liked these shows when they were on. A couple of them are Super Sloppy Double Dare and Legends of the Hidden Temple. I'm not sure if anybody has heard of these though. Have you? I'm going to get going now so have a good day!
