A Rather Late Blog February 17, 2006

Um, I haven’t blogged in a while, have I? I sort of forgot about blogs this past month. Not that I’ve been terribly busy, but I just didn’t think about it.
Georgiana and Bill were here two weeks ago. We had a terrific time with them doing all of the touristy things. Georgiana’s enthusiasm about what we did was, as Mom described it, ‘refreshing’. Even when it rained, she sincerely loved it, and you could tell. I feel like we got to know Bill a lot better too, because he opened up to us a lot more. He likes to joke a lot, something I never would have guessed about him. =)
They were here for my fifteenth birthday, and actually, that was one of the days it rained. I love rain, though, so we drove up to North Shore a bit, went back to Dole for some fresh coconut, returned home to play Mille Bornes for a few hours, and we finished the day at the Spaghetti Factory for a birthday dinner (with free ice cream because they forced me to be sung to).
One day when they were here, North Shore had the best surfing waves it’d seen in twenty-five years (or so Mom heard); the waves must’ve been thirty feet high at the Pipeline! We got some awesome pictures of the surfers and of the waves crashing onto the shore. It was amazing!
I got to sleep in my room for a whole six days, just long enough for me to mess it up completely before Paster John and Karen came. =) We’re also seeing a side of them I’ve never seen before. Pastor John likes to joke a lot, again something I never would have guessed about him. We went to a luau last night with them, and they both enjoyed it quite a bit.
Oh yeah, my PS2 broke. Stupid me, I tripped over the controller cord and almost knocked the system off of the shelf, but luckily I saved it, or so I thought. Turns out that it jarred something inside the box, so now it won’t spin the discs anymore. Ugh, I’m going through Amplitude withdrawl! Dad talked to some guy at Game Stop, and he said that it costs $50 just to have someone look at a PS2, and would probably end up being cheaper for us to buy a brand new one. Anyone got any suggestions as to how to fix it…?
Sorry this isn’t the best written post. It’s rushed because right now I’m supposed to be doing school and Mom’ll be calling any minute to ask how far I’ve gotten. I just took a break to blog because I knew I’d forget later.
