not much new happened. Work was work. I did step on a disney pin today, to check what it was. For some reason I saw it, I should have recognised it was a pin, but didn't so I decided to poke it with my big toe, going down. I had a nice pin drop of blood as if I checked my blood sugar on the bottom of my big toe. I'm a genius. Later.

Today was kind of up and down. Work was kind of killer. Just tiring. I had a bit of an episode with a bee/wasp/hornet/yellow jacket/thing. I'm a phobe when it comes to buzzy stinging bugs. Well one landed on my sock, and I initially though fly, then I saw it was a stingy bug. I freaked out. I was trying to shoo it away without it getting angry. Then I decided to take off my shoe, then the sock without angering it, and tell it to shoo. My boss came in and asked what I was doing, and I explained. She gets that I'm quirky I think. She knows I'm weird, and she's rather weird herself. And I'm such a good worker that there's no real way to get angry at me when I freak out over it.

I was just sitting and trying to fill out my absentee ballot form, then I needed the date. I went to check it on my phone, which was on the charging station. When I get there, 2 new messages, both saying that there's a gathering of people that I know at a local restaurant, that was in running distance. It was near the end of the event, like 15 minutes left, but that was just the scheduled event. We all hung around for about 45 minutes afterwards so it was more of an hour. Hung out with a guy from high school, and actually we go back to when we were 3, with some rough times in high school. It was fun catching up and talking about movies and entertainment we like. Later.

So today I worked and packed up some of the camping stuff. I retired my old sleeping mat because it had a hole in it. Instead of working to patch the hole, we just decided that it served it's tour of duty and just throw it out. At work I forgot my keys at home so I had to use a different set. It felt a little weird. On ebay I have watchers on the Disney plates. If you want to see what I have just click here. I have some good stuff. Later.

7/19/12

I went to work and stuff. Packed for camping. Later.

7/18/12

I lost power so I can't say what exactly happened. I went to work and read news paper comics. I went to bed when it got dark because I can't read anymore. I went to bed and got up at 6 am the next day. I'm writing this the day after because I couldn't get to internet because we have a cable router that requires power to work and I can't just take the main ethernet cable like I initially tried. Later.

7/17/12

So today I was on my own again at my job. It was interesting again. Well then the power went out at about 4. I was able to do some of my work but was able to go home at about 6. I went over to zelda master 93's house to watch deadman and casshern, and then we played lego batman 2 for a little while. Later.

7/16/12

So today I put together all my daily blogs from the trip together. I also went to my job and was alone for the first time. It felt like my other days except for no boss telling me what to do. Later.

7/15/12 Day 5

Today was head home day. We left at about 7:20 my time. My cousin who came with us and I watched big bang theory season 2 the full ride back. We stopped at play n trade. Turns out that the place is a family business and there was a funeral on the Wednesday that I was going to go initially. I got this Play Station pinball game for $3 and a set of 5 gameboy game cases for $1. It seemed like there inventory shrunk since the last time I went.

Now we're home. Cousin with us is really into video games. First I had to try my new game to make sure it works, which it did. After that she and I played super smash brothers melee. It's been forever since I played so I was quite rusty, and she's never played, so we were at rather even playing fields. We were called to dinner after about 30 minutes. When her parents came to get her, we all had fun talking about our trip for an hour or so. Now to put this all together in a full blog. Laters.

7/14/12 Day 4

Today we didn't do much. I hung out with my cousins most of the day. I looked up the prices and what not for my aunt's magazines. If we wanted to, I was going to rent National Lampoon's Vacation through Amazon instant video for $3, but there wasn't enough interest. I was the only one who wanted to watch it with everyone, but no one else wanted to, so I just saved $3. Oh well.

It wasn't until we had our picnic at my aunts did things become interesting. We had everyone over at her house where for starters the grill didn't want to light. So instead of grilling we George Forman Grilled. They were fine. I went to church with my other aunt and great aunt. They have a really nice church. The big highlight for me for the night was when my uncle thought one of my cousin's friends was my brother. Edited to hid names, here's how the conversation went.
Uncle: "[brother] I didn't recognize you."
Friend: "that's because I'm not [brother]"

It might have been a had to be there thing, but was funny none the less, and it's my blog so I'll say what ever lame story I want. We packed up to be ready to leave the next day. So until tomorrow.

7/13/12 Day 3

Boy today was fun. First we went to Adventureland where we went go carting and mini-golf. When go carting I won both times. I lapped my brother and cousins both times. Then at mini-golf my one cousin won at 48, my brother right behind her with 48 1/3, and then my other cousin and I tied for last at 51. I watched most of Monty Python's and now for something completely different with my other cousin who likes the Pythons as well. After that we watched their turtles eat crickets. It was funny because the turtle was chasing them.

After that we went to a Chinese buffet. I had lots of Steak. They had good teriaki steak. I made myself a rice ball, or what is close to one that I make one. Just steamed rice and salt in a bowl because I don't feel like making a ball in front of my family. Afterwards I had an ice cream with a cone I dipped in their chocolate fountain. Great idea on my part. After the buffet I went to my aunt's who's cleaning out magazines. I looked through them to see if there was anything of value. I found that the children's digests had adventures of tin tin serialized so there is probably some money in them. After that we were going to watch National Lampoon's Vacation, but the DVD wouldn't work. My one cousin was all "I ain't watching no stupid vacation movie. Marty Moose, I hate that Disney Channel crap. Derp Derp Derp." I told him "this movie is rated R for swearing and sexual content." That shut him up quick. When the movie wouldn't work we watched this Betty White DVD of her series "Life with Elizabeth." She is funny. Untill tomarrow.

7/12/12 Day 2

Today was fun. We went to Holiday World in Santa Clause Indiana. We've been going there, well the family has, since it was just Santa Clause world. We have video footage of the family on the couple of rides that were there when they were kids. Well a lot has changed since then. Here's what we did.

We went on the Legend, a fun wooden roller coaster. We went on the log flume after that. I rode with my girl cousins, and they didn't want to get wet. Well the right way to not get wet is to put the heaviest person in the back so the water flows under the boat, but they put me, the heaviest person, up front. Well since they wanted to use me as a shield, I decided to get them really wet, while still keeping my pants dry. I leaned as far forward as I could. I got them wet. We went on the Raven, world's number 1 wooden roller coaster. It was fun. Went around to different rides in fourth of July and Halloween. After lunch, we went to the water park that's there as well, and it's included. I enjoyed the park. There were some slides. One that is like a toilet bowl where you spin around in a funnel thing. It's fun.

After the park we went to Thanks Giving. We were going to do the Voyage, voted America's best roller coaster. Unfortunately there were problems that caused us to not go on it. I went on the turkey gobbler, which is basically a moving shooting gallery. It's fun. After we got home I had a standing contest with my cousin who's a dancer. Black belt vs dancer, who can stand on 1 foot longest? We went on for about 10 minutes. My foot was killing me, but I worked through the pain. She on the other hand, her calf and hamstring were starting to hurt. Her mom interfered and just stopped her, since she knew I would win. I did win. Now we're watching lilo and stitch. Until tomorrow, later.

7/11/12 Trip day 1

Woo hoo, first day of family trip to Indiana. This time my grandparents didn't come so we were able to do the trip in 1 day, 10 hours. We watched bang theory season 1, and king of kong, fist full of quarters. There is this awesome video game store that was on the way, but moved so now it isn't. Still had to stop though. It's called Play N Trade, and they have everything, from NES to 360. It's amazing. Well when we got there, it was closed. When I checked the web site, there wasn't anything about it being closed today. There was a sign that said "closed July 11th, reopen the 12th." It's Wally World from National Lampoon's Vacation.

Once we got there, we visited and had fun. We went out to a local restaurant where I had a brain sandwich. Yes you heard me right, and no I'm not going zombie. It's deep fried pig brains, with pickles, on a bun. I can't imagine it'd be the healthiest thing, but it's my treat when I come down. Here is a picture (wait for full blog.)

Here's something that was interesting that happened soon after we got back from the restaurant. There was a fight that broke out in front of my cousin's house. I didn't see it, just heard it. I then saw the aftermath with the cops. There were 5-6 cop cars at one time. And then there came an ambulance. It was crazy. Don't get action like this at home. It's scary but in a weird way cool. Until tomorrow.

7/8/12

I went to church and helped my grandparents with setting up their garden. Most of what my day was. Also heard the greatest thing on friends, something to use when some atheist says this is the end all be all. "Hundreds of years ago the greatest minds thought the earth was flat. Not to long ago scientists thought the atom was the smallest particle until they split it. So are you to tell me that we know everything now and will never find anything out as to the being of the universe?" Yeah Phoebe. I also learned again that "until" isn't spelled "untill." Later.

7/7/12

Today was eventful. Today I learned that things don't burn when it's 100 degrees out and 90 percent humidity. I tried to burn some junk mail but it didn't burn, and caused a lot of smoke. It wasn't going up the chimney and started coming into the house. So my brother and I open up the windows, set up a fan so it'll blow out the window, and start fanning it with towels. After that event, we went to CiCi's Pizza Buffet. It was good. We had one of our deep conversations about life. We came to the conclusion that parent's trusting their kids is not in the fact that they won't do anything stupid. I'm 19, an eagle scout, 3.72 GPA, and I still do stupid things. Trust in your kids is that they won't react with something more stupid. You can take that to the bank. Later.

7/6/12

Due to the power still being out, no work today. I watched TV, tried to call into the Rush Limbaugh show, but kept getting busy, and since Rush wasn't in today, didn't feel compelled to listen. Went and saw Dark Shadows at the last run theater. Was going to review it today, but got side tracked. Did get around to making that bloopers reel for the ET review. Later.

7/5/12

I got the day off today because the place had a power outage. I helped my neighbors move some branches that got knocked down due to the whether. I went to my eye doctor, and went to the southland mall. Not much changed since I was last there. It was raining like crazy when I got called back to get eye pictures, so I got a little wet. More or less just enjoyed my day off. Later.

7/4/12

Happy independence day, went to amazing spiderman, golden coral, and enjoyed my day off. For a more detailed story, hit up my personal blog. Later.

7/3/12

Sorry I haven't been posting. I got my first pay check today. Where's the tea party, I'm taxed enough already. Tomarrow the 4th. Will definately blog tomarrow. Later.
