Summary of mah Trip: some of you might have noticed that I was gone for about 2 weeks. We went to Florida again. My mom reeaally likes it there. And that was our last trip for a while (So I understand). Ok, I have a lot to tell you. I didn't bring the laptop, so I'm not going to be able to bore you with the details. But we left on Thursday the 29th. We travelled directly from our house to Disney, usually we stop at my grandparent's house. If it hadn't been for my iPod, the trip would've seemed a lot longer than just 10 hours. lol But we stopped at some outlets that we stop in every time, and I got a really cool shirt. Actually, it's 2 shirts, a long sleeve underneath, and a short, dressier one over top. And they're black. So it's kind of awesome. ^_^ So we got there at around 9 or so. We checked into the Pop Century, and basically hung out in the room or arcade. I got some pop rock things with the 1000+ tickets I had accumulated from previous trips. I had them with soda, DANG the popping noise was loud. :P (Not of my stomach popping, don't worry =D) We went to the Magic Kingdom the next day. They were filming the Christmas day parade. BTW, if you watch it on TV, and at some point when they're interviewing 2 people on Main Street, if you see a kid in a brown shirt to the far right waving like an idiot, you'll have seen me. =DDDDD I kinda doubt I'll be visible tho. lol ANYWAY, I'm not going to describe most of the trip. But if you ever ride Space Mountain in the Magic Kingdom, SIT IN SEAT #4. It is zee best seat to be in. You experience the falls really well and you feel the speed that you feel in seat #1. I've also come to realize that the front row/seat on most roller coasters is overrated, because you don't feel the drops as well. :( It's a pity. But anyway, I lost my ticket receipt for 1030 tickets on the last day at Pop Century. I was really sad because of that. I'm beginning to think someone stole it from my pocket... Because it was visible. But anyhoo, we moved into a 2-Bedroom at Saratoga Springs (A hotel in Disney). Aw man, that was nice. Our bedroom (My sister's and mine) was pretty big, and there was a living room with a kitchen next to it. It was soooo nice. Anyway, I had fun there. I shall no longer bore you with it.

Saddening Error D: the day we drove home (Sunday the 9th) was not a happy day for me. NOT because we were leaving, but because my iPod had been experiencing problems that day. It was pretty laggy in response, and when I was watching a video I had just added, the video kept freezing but the audio continued. And none of the games were able to be played. So when we got home, I plugged it into the computer. It told me a new version of software was available. I was pretty happy about that. So I told it to install, and once it finished, I got an error message from my computer. It said (I think) "This iPod could not be read. You must Restore it to its Factory Settings." For those of you that don't have an iPod, Restoring it to it's Factory Settings mean clicking Restore on my iPod, which deletes EVERYTHING from it. I thought "Ok, I'll just put everything back on." After I restored it, I plugged it back in and tried to put songs on it. It read copied them halfway, then stopped. 5 minutes later, it would say "The iPod 'Jimmy' could not be read from or written to." So my iPod is now dead. I'm going to send it to Apple to have it repaired once I receive the package to ship it in. I'm happy now though, because they'll either fix it, or send me a new one. =DDDDD Sending me a new one would be REALLY awesome. Either way I'll be happy though. But if they won't send me a new 80 GB one, I hope they send me my original back, because... well, it's Jimmy.... :(

The Super Spiffy CDs from Virgin Records: Ok, so I got some awesome deals on CDs while I was in Donwtown Disney. There's a store there called Virgin Records. 2 floors of CDs, DVDs, Gaming Systems, Games, and Books. =O I was in a Heaven on Earth while I was in there. Anyway, here are the CDs I got and the price at which I got them:
Toxicity - System of a Down: $8.00 + tax
The Beautiful Letdown - Switchfoot: $8.00 + tax
Boys Like Girls - Boys Like Girls: $10.00 + tax
Never Take Friendship Personal - Anberlin: $13.49 + tax (I got a 10% discount for having an Annual Pass to Disney)

Youth Group Rant for Wednesday: I'm not sure I can remember it too well. Well, we didn't have it at the normal place because one of our leaders had a medical procedure done. It went well, but she wasn't up to having it at their house. So we went to another one of our leader's house. Stephen didn't come this week tho. I got there around 7, and was told that it had started at 6:30. Eh. But the house we had it at was AWESOME. I can't describe it AT ALL (lol), but it was very unique and spiffy. They were roasting marshmallows out back, so I did some. Ok, a lot. But I don't get them that often. I got them at just the right temperature where I could squeeze the marshmallow, then pull it, and the outer layer (That was exposed to the heat) would come off, leaving a sticky but tasty marshmallow underneath. :d Then we had our lesson. It was discussing the Birth of Christ. Then we were separated into 3 groups. Each group was given a passage of scripture to act out. We got the part of the 3 Magi coming to see Mary and Jesus. Well, I won't describe our performance, but we lost. Everyone else's was funny. Ours...wasn't. :P But then we played Flashlight tag. I won the first round, because my hiding places were diversified. I first hid in bushes, then next to our youth leader's boat that was against the house, and then in a car that had been previously occupied by 2 other people. :P BUT I WON =D Then the next time we played I didn't feel like it, so I sat and burned marshmallows into charcoal (Or maybe just one). Then we came home. Wow, I haven't actually complained/Ranted or Raved about Youth Group in a while. =O
