Yep, it's been a week since the last update, but a very very very busy week. And
as long as this will be, there's a bunch of stuff I know I forgot about as
well.
The reason for my busy week was that one of my best friends from when I lived in
Texas came to visit me for the first time in Florida. So I played tourist for
the week and went all over Tampa Bay and Orlando showing him all the nifty
things that make Florida nifty. Monday and Wednesday went to Universal and
Islands of Adventures (which is the first place I ever played DDR *sniff*
*sniff*), Thursday went to take a tour of the Buc's football stadium, stopped by
the beach, saw some manatee's, and drove over the Sunshine Skyway
bridge.
Thursday then we went to see the Lightning play hockey, which was his first live
hockey game, and my first live professional hockey game. They had some cheap $10
seats avaliable, and it was a lot of fun (and a whole lot of Canadians
suprisingly, since we were playing Toronto). On the way home though a hose
busted in the car and started pouring out steam, so we had to pull over in a
sketchy part of Channelside. It wasn't too bad though, definitly worse places to
have broken down. So then I called my dad and we drove around Tampa trying to
find the part to fix it, but was ultimitaly unsuccesful. My dad pulled a McGyver
though and hacked a fix that got us to the repair shop. Very long night indeed.
And then Friday went to Ybor to check out the seen and watch Gangs of New York
(very very long, but not bad. Not sure if I'd recommend it though). Then showing
him USF and trying a cuban sandwhich (muy good) before he left back to Amarillo
today. A very busy but very fun week in all.
I miss DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) days. Doing nothing but laying
back and reading books all day instead of doing schoolwork....... being
a little kid sure had it's advantages sometimes.
I need a haircut. Really badly.
So Christmas is 4 days away, but I'm not in the mood at all. Maybe because
December has just been speeding by and it's hard to remember that Christmas is
so close. It's so much different then being a kid, when Christmas never seemed
to come. And for those of yall searching for those impossible to find gifts,
don't worry, just ask Santa for one :)
And speaking of gifts, if anyone reading this is feeling especially generous,
feel free to get me anything *cough*ThinkGeek*cough to show your appriciation
of this wonderful website :) And while I'm shamelessly begging, my
hosting bill came in yesterday, so if anyone wants to pay it, I'll give
you your own special update where I say how attractive you are to the
opposite sex. Credit card numbers (w/ expiration date) work just
fine......
I plan on doing a lot of computer work over the break. I need to upgrade to
Mandrake 9.0, reinstall Windows XP, get my harddrive to work correctly, make
a bunch of backups, and do all the little tweaks inbetween. Hopefully I can get
everything completed before I go back up, because I know I won't have time once
school starts again. I've heard some horror stories about how much time one of
my classes (Digital Design) takes up, but at least the material sounds really
interesting.
And finally, for the first time in like 6 months, the mp3 list is updated! Almost up to 10 gigs.
