   Argh! I couldn't get on!
Sorry I haven't been on. From power outages to surprise trips, to movie premieres and book releases to viruses, I've not been able to get on. :-(

Let's see, about a week or so ago, we went to Lost river caverns. It was cool, but I've been there before. Yeah, I like geology and all that, but it's not the same the second or so time you go. Later we went out to eat and went to the Boyd Theatre to watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I was kind of disappointed that certain things were cut out, but it's an 800 page book, it was better than previous movies *cough* Prisoner of Azkaban *cough* (well compared to the book it was pretty bad) Then about a week later, mom, Mary, and I dressed up as Molly, Ginny, and Ron Weasly and went to Moravian Book Store, which changed it's signs that night to read "Flourish & Blotts" There was trivia "Name a spell that was written in the Half Blood Prince's potion book" "What are the objects Voldemort put parts of his soul into called?"
"What are threshals?"
There was also special postcards, mimbulus nimbeltonia pus, and at midnight, the handing out of the books! Yes, the lines were seperated. A-G, H-O, M-Sn, Sm-Z, but even so we were last in line, actually 2nd to last, a guy came up behind us. We talked to the people in front and behind us about theories, endings (because rumor had it that the last word would be "scar" so we made up our own endings, with the last word being "scar")

After finishing reading it, I wanted to post, because I haven't posted in a while, but then, we get a virus. A few actually. Most of them were on my screen, because that's the screen my dad was downloading the program with the virus. One was this weird virus that infected every file, another would go around worming into other users screens. My dad told us not to go on at all until it gets fixed. He tried all different programs, McAfee, AOL security center, Spybot Search & Destroy, CA, Control Center. We thought we had it with the last 2 programs, but they didn't get a big one. We finally had to wipe out our whole computer. We just got it back on, but there's only a handful of programs. All the music, all my games, all of dad's photoshop programs. Ahh well, at least our identities weren't stolen. He spent almost 2 weeks trying to fix this.

Well, I would like to talk about Harry Potter, but unfortunately, I can't, not sure who has read it, so if you have PM me!

I'm going to do my best to make it all up to you!

   dreams?
I had a weird dream last night. It started off with me swimming in a pool, and I looked up at a window and saw my older sister, and I had a weird flashback where I gave my teacher a note saying it was alright for me to skip the first 2 parts of class to go swimming, but when I got in, they were just starting the second part (the part I wanted to skip most). So I come out of the flashback and ask my sister if she wanted to come in, she said no, so I got out, and went back to the campsite/house. On the way back for some reason I was on crutches and wearing an aang costume. on a bridge we met this kid in a wheelchair and I somehow cloned my costume, and gave the clone to the kid. Someone else behind me was wearing a zuko costume, and however that was cloned his costume and gave it to someone pushing the kid's wheelchair. We got back to the hous. The house was weird, to go inside, you have to walk about a half mile to get to the front door from the backyard, or you walk up these weird stairs in the back. Since we came to the house in the front, my mom had to go inside, and I didn't want to walk down those strange stairs, nor walk half a mile, I decided to fly half a mile. With mo-mo. Mo-mo wasn't a monkey, but a sparrow, which was tied to a string. I held onto the string, and when mo-mo flew, I went up with him. So we got to the backyard (which was also a campsite) Some type of ice cream truck came here and gave everyone cookies and ice cream, but gave me some horrible tasting casserole because the lady driving the truck said I was being bad. I don't know what I did. Next thing we know the oscar myer weiner car came up and gave us ALL more cookies and ice cream, even me. So days go by the oscar myer car keeps coming, and then next thing we know, the ice cream truck comes, and the oscar myer car doesn't. Once again the lady said I was bad and didn't deserve Ice cream or cookies and gave me the horrible casserole. I came inside to tell mom what has been going on, but before I can she says "go outside and get cookies from the ice cream truck" so I gave up. I decided, if casserole was supposed to be a punishment.....Da Capo!
I decided to walk to the school. (which I don't have crutches anymore know that I look back) I take this one trail, knowing that the other will lead me to the front of the house. Next thing I know, I'm right back to where I started. So I call mo-mo, and we fly. That flight was the best.

Ok, so Da capo, is an anime, and for some reason, during the first episode, one of the main characters goes up to the roof and sees these weird people cooking casserole. I thought that these people's casserole would be much better than the ice cream lady's.

So we fly up to the school, and then on top of the roof not only do we find the people cooking the casserole, but there's all these people doing impressions. So we watch and talk. I then remembered what we came here for, so I go up to them, and then I realize something. This anime is only in japanese, there is no dubbed version. And I haven't seen any subtitles showing up, so how are we supposed to talk to these people? But then one said "it's been the spirited debate right? The Dubbed versus Subbed?" And then we all laughed. So I took a bowl of casserole, which I was saving for when the ice cream lady came, but I tasted some, and knew it was good. then I took mo-mo, and started flying home, but then my dream was interrupted. so I don't know what happened next.

I'm sorry for you having to sit through my ramblings, but I don't always remember my dreams, but this one I did. Thank you to everyone who read the whole thing. I know it's weird, but I like to write down all the dreams I remember so I don't forget

Konjiki no Gash Bell!!
I finished downloading it, watching it, and I think I might upload it to youtube. I might not. But it was awesome! There was all this fighting like "Zakeru! Ma seshield! Zakeruga! Jinkerudor! Zakeruga! Gigana Seshield! Baou Zageruga! Barudo Fensha! Baruda Fensha! BARUDA FANSHA! (I don't think it was Baruda Fensha, but it was Baruda F-something)
And there was all this snake charming, spell stealing, volcano erupting, sky diving, yellowtail fishing, book reading, school learning, wind blowing, amuesment park closing, money losing, emotion erasing, memory erasing, colors fading, and lots and lots of YELLING! Go Gash!

Today....
I had the worst orthodontist appointment ever! It took so long, and my gums kept getting poke, my lips got pinched, my cheeks (on the inside) kept getting caught in the wires. I had my braces on for over a year, and this has never happened to me.

Last night I finally executed a glitch in Sonic 2. It's called Ashura. Sonic turns green and black. It was neat! and it took me forever to do! man am I good!

Also last night, I started Downloading the Konjiki no Gash Bell movie: Demon 101, the unlisted Demon. It's still downloading. I got it off of a site called Anime-destiny.org They fan sub episodes, and then they put it up so everyone can download them. Right now they're only doing Konjiki no Gash Bell projects, but I think once they finish, they'll start on other shows. I have about 2 hours left before it finishes downloading. I'm excited!

Some videos
Since nothing much has been gong on I decided to post some videos. I didn't make these, but they're very good. This first one is a fan video for avatar:


this other one shows the DVD cover for Book 3 volume 1, with the first 5 episodes.

Like Aangs hair?

I noticed that no one mentioned the sword Sokka has. Some people say that this is a fake. But since this DVD cover is my desktop background, I realised otherwise. Sometimes when I load a certain game up, before the game comes up, the screen get's brighter and lighter. When that happens, certain things in the picture stand out a lot, that you can barely see before hand. What are these things? Details in the fire! If it is a hoax, whoever made had too much time on their hands to put in all that detail, therefore, it is probably not a hoax. Whether or not that is in fact the final design before release (which is October 30th so they do have time to make more cover art and then decide which to use) remains to be seen.

UPDATE- Chapter 8, which is supposedly the darkest chapter is called "The Face Stealer's Prey" Hmmm...

Ok, real post!
Ok, so let's see:

Somehow in the EatNPark on the way there, we started talking about Purple Haze. My mom says "What's that?"

Once we got there we played spoons like always, only this time mary joined in. That means 1 more player which means 1 more discharger! (inside joke...the first time the whole family played it, she meant to say "now will's the discard pile" but it came out "Now Will's the discharge pile" Ever since we've been saying "Discharge")

Next day we went to the pool. I met a kid my age there, he was cool. We've became friends, but unfortunatly I forgot ti give him my e-mail


We went to Hell's Hollow again. But it wasn't the same! the river was next to empty at some points. We think it was the Quarry. Argh! So that's what we were hearing at our campsite that night which kept us all up!

We also went to McConnel's mill and Slippery Rock State Park. I was surprised they were open because of the budget making everything that is run by the state closed. (which is why we went to the campsite only down the street of where we were last year, instead of the Ohiopyle state park...which is not in Ohio, but in Pennsylvania)

At Slipper Rock, we went farther than when we went last year. I was glad. you see there was a place where there's a flat bank by the river where we could stand near. There was also giant rocks that we climbed and sat on (and think that there is fossils in!) But anyway in between the rocks, soemthing was telling me to go down there. So I did, and what did I find? A piece of Amethyst! That night I looked at my lucky "arrowhead" It's not really an arrowhead, but like the amethyst, something told me to pick it up, and at first glance I thought it was an arrowhead. But any way that night, I looked at the arrowhead I found in Jacobsburg, and the amethyst I found at Slippery Rock. They're the same exact shape (remember the "arrowhead" isn't and arrowhead) I placed the smaller amethyst on top of the "arrowhead" so everything aligns and then...
..........
.........
.......
.....
.....
......
.......
NOTHING HAPPENED!
Hmmm...and I thought it meant something. Both of these stones were calling me to pick it up. Maybe I need a rock (the arrowhead) a crystal (the amethyst) and some type of metal, most probably unrefined iron. I just need to find that metal. BUt wait, when we finally got back, I see that one of the stones that makes up our pathway, is in the same shape. I'm not gonna do any experiments though Back to the trip

The third day, we went into Pittsburgh. We picked up my brother Tim, and his girlfriend, Maureen, and went to Bucca di Peppo's. For those who do not know, it's an italian restaurant, where they serve family style, which means everything they have serves two or more (small) or 4 or more (large) We had veal, ravioli, and a green vegetable, that I didn't like too much, but it's not too bad. It's like spinach and is called Escarole. This is where I saw you Abby!

Then we went up the incline, which is this boxed in car, similar to a train, and it goes up or down the incline. You can get a round trip, or one way. You pay at the top, and if you pay for a round trip you get a ticket in which you have three hours to give to the security guard to go back down. You pay into a vending machine type money thing where you feed you dollar in and it spits it back out. You have to pay exact change so mom was digging through her purse making sure we all had dimes.

In the cars you can see the whole city. Well at least downtown. Once you get up top and pay you can go around the rest of the city, or you can go to the lookouts. From the lookouts you can see the whole city. I got pictures of it. Then we went back down and saw the fountains dancing to Disney Music in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. After that, we went and dropped Tim and Maureen, and went back to the campsite. The next day we packed up our things and went home.

Oh and for info on the 3rd season of Avatar, check out my previous post!
