This guy was there too. He’s my mom’s best friends husband. Quite the weirdo huh. 

and so was dad 

and so was grandma 

and so was semi-uncle Chris (he’s from Canada) 

See, my sister graduated, and I was there. 

is back. Unfortuantely he’s been restored to factory settings, so I’ll have to spend the next couple hours making him himself again. But at least I’m not computerless anymore. Now I will be able to easily dazzle you w/ my wit and charm. However, you know the true path to enlightenment… First the self, Second the Computer, Third anybody who reads ur blog. 😛

I’ve had company over for the last coouple of days. Haven’t seen my regular friends or been doing my regular thing. Been sociallizing and such. Chris and my grandma and the Lewis’s were over. I’ll post some pictures of them later maybe.

They were all here for my sister’s graduation. She walked yesterday. I have a video of her speech, which I’ll put on here once I get it digital. 🙂 Milo’s still in the shop so my computer activities are still limited. It’s sad. 🙁 Maybe tomorrow.

Got some reading done at the graduation (it was boring). I’ve always highly recommended Ender’s Game but now I recommend Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide as well. I wasn’t impressed the first time I read them… but this time around they’re good. 🙂 If you don’t have time just read Ender’s Game, everyone should read Ender’s Game.

I had this weird dream thing. Here’s how it went to the best of my remembering. Sorry 8, but ur role is limited.

It started out I was going to math class at college. I was in the back corner, the was a spot for 8, and then two more girls. One was this girl who 8 was going to room with and was across from me in bio lab freshman year. The other I knew, but I can’t remember anymore. So I didn’t have my math book so I asked, “Is this math?” and someone said, “yeah”. I was like, “hmm… ok.” and the someone said, “wow, it’s not ok for me to be in math class without my book.” I said, “no biggie, I’ll just go get it.” So I took off running down the hall to my locker. In this segment of the dream the school is set up kinda like my highschool. When I get to a corner 8 is there. She’s got a mathbook and she’s heading to class. I say, “Is that mine?” when she looks at me and she shakes her head but holds it out to me anyway. I say, “naw, I’ll get mine, go ahead.” and she turns and goes towards class. I go to my locker and get my book and then head back to class. When I get there though it’s not a classroom anymore and the people are different. A lot of the people are just random people I don’t recognize, but Steve Reed is there and my sister, altho I don’t notice her at the moment. Steve was standing on a bed. The room is now like a hotel room, only larger, w/ about 6 full sized beds. Everyone in the room is up on furniture so I go stand on some. By now I’ve forgotten about class, my book has disappeared, etc. So I’m all confused. Someone comes into the room and talks to one of the random people I don’t recognize. I don’t really pay attention because I can’t for some reason. I think they end up in a fight. Anyway, the next thing that happens is that we all start hopping from bed to bed trying to get out w/o touching the ground. People are being very helpful, laying down cushions and stuff and making helpful suggestions. We’d gone around the whole room when a girl came into the room and came straight toward me. She climbed onto the bed I was standing on and started pulling at my clothes. I was like, “Whoa, what’s up?” and she said, “We are what you wish for, this is what you wish for.” (apparently I wished to have sex with a random female, this was my understanding in the dream anyway, like subconcious wish concious understanding of the subconsious wish) So now I say, “Well then I repent, and ask for mercy from God” or something close to that. She says, “fine, then you will see Mary later.” And then she disappears. Someone asks, “Mary who?” and I say “Mary Magdaline”(sp.) in a annoyed tone. At this point I wonder why we’re all on furniture so I step down. Blue lightning stuff comes up from the carpet and hurts but doesn’t paralyze me. So I get back on the bed. Now I have the understanding that once the people talk to you the blue lightning thing happens. Then another thing comes into the room and goes straight for my sister, who I notice now for the first time. Her thing is like a big bug thing and Martha quickly starts trying to kill it. It runs away and I think that that’s not good. So we start moving around on the furniture again and this time 4 of us get into this other room. Steve’s with me and two random guys I don’t recognize, older than us. Steve apparently was visited by some weird bug thing too, cause in the room he had to kill tons of bugs. The other guys had to kill other monsters and they all worked together cause the swarm of monsters was not very discriminanting. I had no monsters of my own, but I helped them kill theirs. Once we had been killing the monsters for a while we got toward the back wall of the room. There was a big alien head on it and it’s eyes kinda looked alive. Steve went up and put his forehead on the big alien heads forhead and a green spot appeared where they had touched. Then the green spot grew into a green portally thing and we all rushed in. Then we were in a new room. There were no monsters, but there was a man I didn’t recognize. One of the men who had come with us said, “You know I’ve thought of taking a shot at you more than once.” to the new man. He said, “No, but I am your boss, so it’s normal.” And then we all just sorta talked and I don’t remember what happened, except for that there was a general feeling that we had escaped something that most people don’t.

So that was my dream. Pretty wicked sweet huh. Shoulda been there.

I woke up at 9 am because I was going to go hall hay w/ Pat. We were going to go at 7, but it was cold, so nobody cared about getting out particularly early anymore. I ate breakfast. We left in a car to the place where we picked up the hay. We loaded hay onto a truck that was at the place where we were picking up the hay. Then we left and w/that truck and realized that it was overheating, and would probably break and be all bad. So we turned around and got back to the place where the hay was. Then we decided to take the car to the auto place to get the parts needed to fix the easy fix of the two possible problems, as seen by Pat’s dad. So we swung by Pat’s house afte rgetting the parts and picked up a truck of theirs, smaller by about 4 times than the one we were attempting to fix which we had already loaded with hay. One of the parts which Pat’s dad had gotten was the wrong size (even though he had not picked it himself but had instead had the people working there get it for him). So we went and exchanged it and got the right size. 3 hours later we started the truck up and it was still over heating. Just before we got this accomplished however we were visited by an old lady carrying a pot of flowers. She was mumbling about being lost. She asked if we knew where her son was and we said no. Pat’s dad said, “have a nice day.” and she said, “Oh, I won’t, I’m 83 years old and I haven’t had one yet.” Then pat’s dad did some jesus talk and she said, “you should go talk to my son, he’s a son of a bitch.” So she was funny. She left, and we had decided not to risk the big truck and to just load up the little truck and get a move on. But before that could happen a neighbor of the lady that we were getting the hay from came by for some random reason. Pat’s dad started talking to him and became convinced that the big truck would work, and even better that it would haul 5,000 lbs of rock. So we loaded up another row of hay onto the big truck, and loaded up pat’s family’s smaller truck (w/ 9 bales). Then we headed off down the road. When the big truck couldn’t make it over an overpass though, we decided it was a good idea that we stop before we got to the bridge. 🙂 So we pulled it over at some gas station and left a huge truck w/ like 60 bales of hay there (we had permissionfrom the guy who owned it) and went to the barn and unloaded our 9 bales from pat’s family’s truck. We then went back to the big broken truck and took bales from it and put in on pat’s truck (15 this time because not all the tie downs were being used on the big broken truck’s hay). We hoped that with the cool down and the lighter load we’d get the big truck back to the lady w/ the hay’s house. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. We got almost half way there when the big truck conked out again. So we rigged pat’s family’s truck to tow the big truck. Pat had to drive the truck being towed (which is exciting if u know that the last time he drove a vehicle being towed it ended up in a ditch) but we eventually made it back to the place w/the hay. We left the hay on the broken truck and covered it with a tarp. Then we took the load in pat’s truck to the barn and unloaded it. By then it was 8:30 making 11 hours of work and 24 bales delivered. Sweet huh? On the plus side I went home and got 4th in a poker tournament and won some money. Also, fyi, hay makes pat’s eyes swell shut almost and his nose go crazy. I pretty much just have the nose problem. 🙂 Anyway, there’s the crazy story.

P.S. We didn’t eat the entire time. (12 hours)

I don’t have much to say. I’ve been reading all those blogs linked below, and they are cool. You people that aren’t them and aren’t already reading them should check them out sometime. I’ve also caught up on my comics. They are teh uber. Read them all. I’ll probably have some time this summer to read new ones, and I will update my Comics post accordingly. I might not though, so far this summer I’ve been reading actual books. I’ve also been playing a lot of poker and video games. It’s sweet not being in school. Going to give blood soon, going to try to work out a time with Donny cause he wans to too, and he can drive. How convenient. He’s O+ or something so he’s all special. 😛 That’s my big plan for what I should accomplish soon. Also I want to find some graph paper so I might make a dungeon for my players here at home. I can’t draw though… I wish I could draw. Donny got interested in lojban, so learning it seems still semi likely. It seems really neato still. I just have to get motivated enough to study during summer. 😛

I might be moving over to Pat’s place for most of the rest of the summer. His sister is moving out, so Pat will actually have a room again. Then we just have to run cable over his roof and install it in his room (it’s the guest house) and we’ll all be set. I’ll take my wireless router over and we’ll have a pool 10 feet away, more food than is at my house, (altho Martha was kind enough to pick up Cocoa Dino Bites today. woot off brand!), and a big screen that is actually capable of receiving TV. Might be swell.

Milo’s going to be in the shop for the next couple of days. Need to get the keyboard fixed. Hooray long warranties.

That’s all for now folks. I’m sorry not all of u are around me irl, ur just not getting a accurate pictures of my wit and charm through this. I hate to see people missing out on something so great.
