   Camping
Sorry I haven't been around, but I just got back from camping the other day! Here's my trip!

So went camping. ^_^ It was SO much fun!! I won't go into all the details but we had a GREAT spot! Right by the water! Casey and I brought our scootors and Casey got to invite her friend Sarah with her. So after we got unpacked we took our scootors to this really big hill. Er really big... Casey and I were on the scootors, Sarah walking beside us. Now... when someone tells you that the hill might be too steep to take the scooter down... you might want to listen.

I didn't. ^^;;

It was fun at first. Then I got going to fast and could stop. Next thing I knew I was falling to the ground. All I could think of was to not land on my head. My leg got scrached up good and my white GTO shirt got nice and black. Walked back to camp and told Casey and Sarah to go on. Sarah was almost too scared to go on the scooter after she saw me fall.

It wasn't too bad, mom was even able to get just about all the dirt off my shirt! Found Casey and Sarah and for the rest of the day we walked/scootored around the park.

Then I did something Casey loved me for. I wanted to go fishing so I asked Casey and Sarah to come with me. The dock was far from the site so we had to drive. As soon as we were out of site of camp I pulled over and asked Casey if she wanted to learn how to drive. She couldn't believe it, my permit lacking sister was a bit shocked. We switched postions and she drove. Before anyone starts yelling at me: "YOU LET HER DRIVE!" There isn't really any traffic at camp, so it was alright and she didn't drive long. I took over again when we got to the area where there are more cars. She was so excited and she really wants to get her permit now. We didn't catch any fish.

Then it was getting dark so we went back to camp and had a nice camp fire. Ate hotdogs, and somors. Mom popped popcorn, but spilled the first bunch on the ground. The fire died down a bit so we went looking for dear. Found a few and a red fox. Went back to the camp, we were guessing how many racoons we would have eatting the popcorn when we got there... well... we were all wrong. There weren't any racoons.

There was a sunk.

We all sat in the car unsure what to do. We really didn't want to get sprayed and we've never had to deal with sunks before. Luckily it wandered off and we were able to get out. Spent more time around the fire and went to bed. Casey and Sarah slept in the same tent together and while they giggled all night long I had something sniffing at my head on the other side of my tent all night. -_-;; Just a little hard to sleep. Then in the middle of the night the racoons started fighting and made a really loud noise.

In the morning I tried fishing... and managed to catch bottom. So mom and I decided to go on a nature walk and Casey and Sarah went on a scootor ride. (Sarah ended up loving the scootor.) Just as they took off down the road, dad pulled up and we chatted with him for a bit. He said the pets were doing good, but my cat was going nuts looking for me. Aw! Poor kitty! Dad followed us as we headed to the nature center, but there in the road was Casey and Sarah! They had gone a long way... but Sarah had fallen and gotten scrached up really good.

They got in the car with us and we went to the nature center where Sarah got cleaned up. Then they decided to go on the walk with us. Went on about a two hour walk. Saw a deer on the walk and there weren't any black flies that would bite us like we had thought we would find.

Went back to camp and hung out. Then rode down to the beach... but the water was too cold to go swimming. I felt bad for Casey because she really wanted to go swimming so I offered to buy her something kinda cheap at the store. I ended up buying three small water guns and the three of us returned to camp to have a water gun fight. After we were nice and soaked we sat around playing cards and listening to music.

Hung around til dusk. While we were waiting, a couple ducks we'd been feeding came up and we feed them some bread. They left and a whole heard of Canadain Gesse with a bunch of half grown babies came up. It was amazing. They overtook camp. Normally Casey and I chase them, but the tables were turned when a little baby snuck behind me and I bumbed into it. Momma wasn't happy with me and chased me. AH! We felt bad for the ducks though, because they came back and this time they brought their babies but the geese kept nipping at them so they left.

I made another fire and had more food. As we were eating we saw something moving behind us. It was a racoon. He came right up to the picnic table while we were eating. Annoying little thing. Normally they don't come out until we finish eating. So we all hung around the fire when Casey suddenly jumped up and started running away screaming: "Sunck's back! Sunck's back!!" Sure enough it was. We all watched as it wandered around for a bit before leaving. Mom decided to dump some popcorn away from camp and it was a good idea at first. The sunk hung around the popcorn and left us alone.

After a few hours Casey and Sarah got tired and went to bed. Mom and I stayed up and watched the fire burn down. I thought I heard something so I turned around and there... right next to me... only an arms lenght away, was the sunk. I wanted to run, I could picture him squirting me but I sat very still. Mom and I couldn't believe it was so close. Luckily it ran off to the neighbors to pick at their food before coming back later to eat at the popcorn again.

Went to bed after the fire had burned down to nothing but coal. Slept great. One of the best night sleep I've gotten recently. In the morning we packed up camp and fed the cimpmucks and squirrls once more. The chimpmucks we even got to sit in our hands and eat the peanuts. They were so cute!

Went fishing when camp got all packed up. There was a Great Blue Herring on the dock and I threw a fish at it when we caught one. It was so cool! It ran up and swallowed the fish whole! We even watched as it plucked a catfish right out of the water. We ended up throwing it all our fish and it hung around. It was funny, it got so excited when it saw us bring in a fish.

Went home after that and it's so good to be back. Buttons won't let me out of her site. I took a nap earlier today, but it's kinda hard when you have a cat walking all over you, meowing and walking all over you. Aw, poor kitty!!! She's going to be so sad when I leave for school in August!

   Sleep and party
Last night before I went to bed mom asked if I would be joining her to go to yard sales at 6am. I told her no because I was going to try to catch up on the sleep I've been missing.

Er... or not.

Oh look! It's still kinda dark out at 4am!

Blah... it didn't help that I had woken up once before that too. So I decided, since I was up, I would go. Ended up getting five CDs (2 Barenaked Ladies, 3rd Eye Blind, Enya, and Ace Of Base) and The Talisman by Peter Straub and Stephen King.

Tired I came home and went to bed. I had a party to go to at 3:00pm so I set an alarm to wake me up at 3:30 but stupid me set it for am instead of pm. Ack! Slept til 5. Ran around and got to the party around six.

It was a lot of fun. It was a graduation party for Miss Mandy Freeman, my old Taekwondo insturctor. A lot of people from Taekwondo was there. It was nice to see them. We played vollyball and had cake and just a lot of fun. Her friends from school were nice and funny to. Master Groff, also my instructor, Mandy's brother, was there and he was so funny! He was riding around on a Motorcycle and making jokes and climbing things. He was so hyper.

Then we had the bonfire, but the boys weren't doing a good job! They had no idea how to make one. It was so funny, mom and I took over for them. We showed them how it was done. ^___^ Then we added gasoline. That was the fun part. WHOOOSH! Lots of fire! It was a great fire. I think I helped make another pyro! Joliesa was there and I was teaching her which things burn the best. I also helped her by teaching her how to put the wood on in good places. She thought a tin can would burn well... silly.

I was sad to go but the party was winding down. I'm glad I went. I had a lot of fun.

   Need More Sleep
I think I may be a bit sick. I haven't slept well in days. I'm always so tired. Now I'm shaking and freezing and everyone else is not. I want to go to bed, but it's WAY too early. I won't sleep all night if I'm able to. I hope I can sleep tonight.

   Hoobastank
ACK! WHERE HAVE I BEEN? I need to try to update more... but I never really have much to talk about... ^^;; I still should try to update more.

ANYWAY! Here's my day! This I felt was worth talking about!

I felt pretty useless today, so I basically wasted the day and took a nice long nap. I like naps. Then Autumn called with her own bad news. I'm not pitying you Autumn, it's bad. That's what it is. I still feel bad for you, but I won't pity you.

Then the day changed. First. ^_^ I found we have ice cream!!! ICE CREAM!!! As I was eating my yummy Black Rasberry mom started laughing. "Anut Varsi wants me to go to a concert with her." I figured it must be a Bettles look a like thing. Anut Varsi asks mom to go now and then to those. "I don't even know this band. Hoobastonk?"

*Perks up* "Do you mean Hoobastank?"

"Oh yeah... that's probably it."

*runs over to the computer* "She's going to a Hoobastank concert?!"

"Do you know them?"

That got us into a long conversation how Hoobastank is one of my top four favorite bands. Linkin Park, Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, and Hoobastank. My mom repeated the conversation over AOL to my Aunt. Turns out my Aunt loves Linkin Park and Evanescence too!!! Long story short. ^_^ She invited me to go to the concert with her!!!!!!!!! *squeal*

I CAN'T WAIT! It's not till the 21st of July... but!! That's just over a month away! Plus we're planning on getting floor tickets! So we'll be up close!!! AH!!!! I WANT TO GO NOW! My anut and I got on the phone later and we chattered on about our favorite bands. She hasn't heard of Breaking Benjamin but told me not to forget to bring their CDs! Or my Simple Plan CD. So far the plan is we leave on the 21st. Drive the 3 hours to Plattsburg where the concert is. Then check into our hotel, go to the fair (It's a county fair they're playing at) and ride the rides til we get sick, then go to the concert, stay the night, head home the next day!!! AH!!! I CAN'T WAIT! *runs around until I run into a wall*

What's really exciting this is going to be my first concert. Well... I did go to a Pam Tillis concet when I was like eight... but that wasn't that big. AH!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO GO!!!!! *runs around agian* *runs into wall again* *passes out*

   Autumn, Sales, and Drive Inns
Autumn came over Friday night. Casey, her, and I stayed up until about 12am even though we had to get up really early to go to the yard sale days with my mom the next day. Every summer the towns each have their own weekend where EVERYONE has a sale in that area. It's huge! And a lot of fun. I wanted to go to bed a little ealier but oh well. So we went to bed deciding to skip breakfast in the morning and waking up at the last possible second. 6am. Not if my cat had anything to do about it! She woke Autumn and I up a couple times by throwing up. Which means I scramble out of bed with an old newspaper, placed by my bed for such occasions, and trying to catch it before it winds up on my floor. Luckily I cought it. Tried to go back to bed but the cat wasn't done with us yet. She decided to meow, scrach, and walk on us til we got up and fed her. Once she left my room thinking I was getting up to fed her... not a chance. I shut her out of the room. Tried to go back to sleep, but felt too gulity for not feeding her. Got up and fed her. Autumn and I were too wide awake to go back to sleep so we stayed up and ate breakfast.

We didn't have to wait too long before everyone else was ready to go. We all jumped into the car and speed off. Mom bought a lot of junk that she says are antiques and that she's planning on selling down at the shop. She even bought this nice violin for $50. I didn't buy anything until we got to this one guys sale. BOOKS! HE HAD SO MANY GOOD BOOKS! Mostly Steven King! I LOVE STEVEN KING!! I was so excited! I quickly picked up 'It' by Steven King and asked how much the paper back books were. I couldn't believe it when he said ten cents!!!! Grabbed a BUNCH! But I know I don't normally have time to read anymore. *sniff* I decided to limit myself to three books. Trying to decided which to take I decided to take my first pick of 'It' I had trouble putting a few other great titles down and finally decided on 'Dreamcatcher' and 'Christine' all by Steven King. As I was sadly putting the other books back I couldn't believe what I saw!!! MISERY!!!! MISERY BY STEVEN KING!!! It was sitting right there! WAITING FOR ME!!! MINE! *snatch*

Misery is about a women named Annie Wilkes. She's Paul Sheldon's number one fan. Paul Sheldon is a writer who wrote a series about a girl named Misery. Poor Paul gets in a car wreak and is saved by Annie. His legs are shattered into a million pieces and instead of taking Paul to the doctors Annie takes him to her house, that's when the terrible fun starts! Annie wants Paul to write his greatest work - just for her. She keeps him prisoner in many fun ways.

I should have changed my mind and gotten more than three books. THEY WERE ONLY TEN CENTS! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!! But I sadly put 'Christine' back for Misery. I wasn't leaving that sale without MY Misery book!! I loved this guy's sale! He had cheap casettes too! I bought an Ace of Base and Queen's greatest hits. I even bought a CD, it was only the Lion King soundtrack. I can't help it. I love that music! Oh! Another cool thing I got was this letter opening in the shape of the sword Excalibur!! It's pointy! *pokes Casey with it*

When I went to check out the guy smiled at me. "Steven King fan I see." I nodded and he asked which book of his was my favorite. I told him it was The Stand, however, I pointed to Misery and said that would most likey replace it. He laughed and rung me up. It came to about 3.20 or so. I started to fish around for some dimes when he smile. "Three even will be enough for a King fan!" ^_^ Aw! So I gave him the three and started reading Misery right then and there. WHY DIDN'T I GET MORE BOOKS!!!

Only bought three more things after that. Disney's Robin Hood, a printer to take to college, and the Americana CD by The Offspring. I'm only 47 pages into Misery but it's already beat The Stand as my favorite. I LOVE IT!! SO COOL! I LOVE STEVEN KING! Come on... how could I not like a book that reminds me of a mini personality of mine locked away inside me? I could see myself as either Paul or Annie. Before people get too scared of me. I could never ACTUALLY do anything Annie does.

One weird thing Autumn and I noticed was that nearly every sale was selling a really small TV sets. There was this one sale and someone was selling all of their Taekwondo stuff. Not karate or any other type... Taekwondo. Wa! Can't the world stop reminding me already!!! Then at another sale this guy was selling a really good large kicking target for only 10 bucks! I wanted to get it but I have no place to put it so I didn't get it. It just made me miss Taekwondo all over again.

By the end of the sales my back was really killing me. I figured it was the lack of sleep. My back gets sore if I don't get enough sleep. So I went home and took an hour nap. Hung out with Autumn and Casey. Dropped Autumn off at home as we went to church. Then went to the drive inns with Mom, Sister, and sister's friend Sara. We saw Madagasta and Monster in Law. They were alright. Although I would have rather seen The Longest Yard and House of Wax playing on the other screen. (POSSIBLE SPOILER FOR HOUSE OF WAX) ^_^ I know Parris Hilton dies in it. I want to see that.

Well during the second film, Monster in Law, I decided to go to the bathroom. God I hate the rest rooms there. I got there just as a family of little girls got there. The took all the WORKING tolites. I waited for them to get done. First one that got done I went in and found there was no more toliet paper. -_- Glad I checked! Waited for the next and could have thrown up when I got in there. There was pee on the seat... YUCK! Finally! The third one was pee free and had toliet paper. *sigh* I hate that bathroom.

By the time the movies were over and we got home I was dead tired. I had planned on getting online and watching what I taped of Adult Swim, but I was just too tired. Fell into bed and was instantly asleep. It was a great day yesterday.

   Then End To Taekwondo
*sniff* Last night was the last night of Taekwondo. I actually didn't get choked up which surprised me. Actually there was one time when Jolicia and I were having a poking fight and I stopped in the middle and mentioned that it would our last poking fight ever. We both hugged and then continued the fight. Yes. I'm 19 and I got in a poking fight with a ten year old!

Class was about to start and I was a bit disapointed because Jenni didn't show up when she suddenly came running down that hall!! YAY! SHE MADE IT! We didn't have a stressful class. Did a couple basic kicks and a few of the lower rank forms, timed together. Then... we had a board breaking contest.

Jenni went first. Ms. Freeman said she had to break it with a spinning round house and Jenni nearly passed out. Luckily she was joking so Jenni had to break with a ax kick. Gabe went next, he was the one that had to break with the spinning round house. He couldn't do it. I went up next. I asked for the dreaded spinning round house kick. I don't see why people hate that kick, it's my favorite. I snapped that board on my first kick. I didn't mean to show Gabe up I just REALLY like that kick!! Jolicia kicked after me. She attempted a jumping front kick. REALLLLLLLY hard kick! Poor Jolicia couldn't manage it. So she had to break it with her head... er... that didn't work either. Then she tried to break it with her knee... still couldn't get it to break. Ms. Freeman tried to break it over her knee... ^^;; she even had trouble breaking it... it was a really hard board.

After that we did one more round. This time Gabe went first. He managed to break the board with a jumping back kick. Then I went and broke a board with my fist. On my first try! That made me feel great! The last time I tried to break a board with my fist I couldn't break the board and wound up with bloody knuckles. Jenni was up next. I suggested that she ask for a back kick because if the school had stayed open she would have had to break with that kick at her next testing. She tried and on her second attempt she broke it!! She came back beaming! ^_^ Poor Jolicia though.... Ms. Freeman made her do a 360 back spin kick... that's a really hard kick. She wasn't able to do it so she had to try to break the board with her head again. ^^;; First time didn't work but she got it on the second!! GO JOLICIA!

After class we had a pizza party that Jolicia's mom, my mom, and myself put together. It was a good idea. It kinda broke the ice. We sat around together eating and drinking some soda, swaping stories. It was fun. I'm really going to miss them. *sniff* I just wish Mike hadn't hurt his knee so he could have taken the last class with us... but at lest he was there!

Jenni, Jolicia, and myself played with our knunchuks during the part. Jenni showed me how to do a little trick with mine. Jolicia kinda nearly wapped me on the head.

Before we left Ms. Freeman handed us each a really small staff. It's about half the lenght of my arm. I don't see how it could be much of a weapon but I was excited to get it. Jolicia and I wasted no time mock sparring with them. But it didn't last long, we had to leave. It was hard know that it would be the last time we would be walking away from the place. It was hard to say goodbye, but yet, I'm not as sad as I was when I first found out about the closing. I think I'm either in denial or acceptance. I'm guessing acceptance. I'm sad, and yet, happy. It's been a fun four years.

I took some pictures, but they are REALLY big pictures and I don't want to freeze up people's computers that are slow. If you want to see them and you have an okay speed for a computer or you just don't care just comment and I'll send you a link to my pictures!

   Not Much To Say
I've been kinda down since I got the news that my Taekwondo school is shutting down. Tomorrow is my very last class with my friends. *cries* I'm going to miss them all SOOOOOO much!!

I hope I don't cry tomorrow at the goodbye party we're having after class. I'm really going to miss Joelisa. WHO AM I GOING TO POKE NOW! She's like one of my best friends now even though I'm 9 years older then her. Jenny. How I'm going to miss her!! I really don't want to leave. How can I go on without Mike kicking me so hard I go flying across the room and yet frustrate him when I beat him at street fighting. I DON'T WANT IT TO END!!
