*drumroll* WEEEELCOME TO THE WORLD'S LONGEST BLOG!! (Or at Least Mine)

     Hello everyone!!  I'm sorry I couldn't post yesterday.  In case anyone's wondering why I couldn't get on the computer long enough to write a decent post, it's because the only computers in the house are my dad's work stuff and my mom's laptop, so my mom has complete control over when or whether I can go on the computer.  Anyway, I suppose it's SO easy to see how ecstatic I am, right? (....) Well, that's because, today alone I got 28 views!!  And it's only 3 o'clock!!!  Thank you...vampirestat.com and another website I won't name because of my principles!  Anyway, I promised last week that I would tell you how the barbeque went, and I will.  Also, however, right after I got off the computer I received a call from an old friend asking me to come sandboarding with her at her birthday party on Friday.  So this might be a relatively long post.  :/  Not that that's a bad thing, but only the hardcore (if I have any?) fans will probably read it all the way.  Especially since I might include a list.  So, at the barbeque, I was the only girl, which I must admit, was a bit awkward... but I guess it was okay, since the boys there were my old classmates, and we're all very close.  The REALLY awkward part was my swimsuit, which is part bikini and part two-piece shirt and shorts.  I won't go any further...  It was worth it, though, for the pool.  It was colder than a freezer with no temperature gauge, but felt good after you got used to it, which took half an hour.  ...  We also played croquet, which I thought was kind of pathetic (ironic?) since the only people who played were the kids while the adults all sat in lawn chairs chatting and watching.  I lost every time, but what the heck...  The best part, though, had to have been the zipline/swing set up between two trees.  You had to push off the ending tree with your feet to avoid smashing your face on the bark, but that made it challenging, I guess.  Is it just me or is this getting boring?  I think I'll move on to Friday.  I ended up being the only one to show up -- or maybe the only one invited? -- at (I'll call her Red)'s house.  We ended up having to sit around for a while waiting for her dad to get up, but once he did, it was really fun.  The lady at the sandboard rental place showed us how to board, and I ended up being a lot better than I thought, managing to make it all the way to the bottom of the hill.  Red, on the other hand, kept falling...  Soon we gave up because it was EXTREMELY windy on the dunes, and sand was getting everywhere.  Toes, mouth, nose...  Ouch.  We spent a good while at an animal shelter with the cats.  Oh, the cats...

And I suppose you could say that was the majority of it, so I'll stop the misery and start talking like I'm not writing an essay on my summer vacation.  This coming Sunday the high school group at my church is going to be helping out at both services of the adult sanctuary church.  I'll be playing keyboard for the worship team.  *silent fist pump*  Speaking of instruments, I've recently gotten back into guitar.  Of course, I only know 6 chords, but there is a surprisingly large assortment of my favorite songs that only use those chords.  Hit the Lights, Buffering, You Belong With Me, Superman...  None of which you've likely heard, except You Belong With Me, a pretty popular song.  And while we're on the topic of songs... MY BRAND NEW HEADPHONES BROKE!!!  NOOOO!!  They're expensive Sony headphones, and I got them about a month ago, too short for them to be of much use, but too long to get a refund!  Just today I went to untangle them and plug them in, then, suddenly... nothing came out of the left earbud.  u.u  Fortunately, my dad's an engineer and he believes he may be able to fix it, although it will take a while.  Until then, I'm using my little brother's headset to listen to Youtube music while I write this; the headset is also Sony.  Let's hope it doesn't suck as much as the earbuds.  Well, until next week, this is G-star signing out to get some grapes.  Oh, and I'm very sorry this was so long.  I've had a busy week.  And no, there won't be a list this time.  That would be cruel.
