Welcome to Gaia! ::

And soon a 1000! By then we'll probably rule the world.

Okay, so originally I was gonna wait till The Historian was on sale to get it at the book store, but pops sent it to me. So today I'm going over one of the many coupons I get from Borders. 40% off one of the selected bestseller books on the list... and there's The Historian. I laughed so hard, cause I knew I was supposed to wait to buy it. But I suppose pops got it cheeper then that with his discounts. Still, so funny.

So 5 am tomorrow I'll be on the road to going camping. Why 5 am? Somethin to do with the 6 hour drive there. The best part, I'm goin to bed after 2 am. Oh boy am I gonna be evil tom. I already have a bad enough lack of sleep today, add that to tomorrow... Oh boy. Anyway, I'll be back thursday.

So. Anyone wanna hear about what happened to me the day before yesterday? If you don't, I suggest stoping reading this post. Right now. It all started to go wrong when weaccidentally went to Canada. (It was the evening, but still when all of the annoyingness started.) We were trying to see Niagara Falls from the U.S. side, but took a wrong turn. So we just went to see it on the Canadian side. Then, when we tried to come back, the people at the gates or whatever wante dto check my mom's documents, which she didn't have. So we had to go upstairs in the building and wait while they looked her up. Took maybe forty-five minutes of doing absolutely nothing. When we finally got let out, we decided to see Niagara Falls at night from the U.S. side. It wasn't such a great view. Then we got on the freeway to get to a smaller city to spend the night. We stoped at Dunkirk and went into some inn to find out if hey had any rooms available. They didn't, so we went out to where mom had stopped the car and was waiting for us. When she tried to start the car... it wouldn't start. So we called the tow truck and the person jump-started the battery, and the car went. We set off for Erie, because that was the closest place where there was a car dealership for my mom's car. We needed the battery changed, and it only takes batteries from that brand. Plus the car's still under warranty, so it was free. On the way to Erie, the indicator dials kept going down to zero then back to normal. So, so creepy. I couldn't relax, the entire drive. Keep in mind this was like 1 in the morning. Three miles short of Erie, the car started beeping and we pulled off the freeway and went to a nearby Travelodge. We called another tow truck in the morning, and got it towed to the dealership and they fixed it. The end to my nere-wracking few hours. So not the best day ever. I knew that damn car wouldn't last this long of a trip, even if it is only three years old.

Niagara Falls was nice. But not from New York. It's hardly visible. Mostly just mist and the river. Thagt's the first time I've ever had a car battery battery die on us. No, wait. I take that back. One time me and my sister went camping with my friend and her father, and we left the doors open all day for two days straight, and one time when we were leaving the beach, the car wouldn't start. Someone was able to fix it. Somehow. *Wasn't paying attention at all* ...I have an excuse. I was ten, and had no attention span, and it wasn't very interesting to me. Yeah, I'll shut up now.

I've been wondering how the guild benefits from the donations and gold. Is it just to raise the value of the guild or what?

Anyone ever been to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago? It was sooo cool. They have Pacific white-sided dolphins, baluga whales, a sea lion, sea otters, and all these cool fish exhibits. We also went to the show they have with the dolphins, and it was awesome. Reminded me of why I wanted to be a dolphin trainer (I'm sure they have an official name, but that's what I always called it) when I was little. Though before the show there was this trivia thing for the littler kids and the first girl who went up asked to be questioned about dolphins. The question was: "What ocean do the Pacific white-sided dolphins come from? A, the Atlantic. B, the Pacific. Or C, Lake Michigan." She answered A. And kept with that answer. Finally, the person asking the question said, "Okay, let me put it like this. A, the Pacific. B, the Pacific. Or C, the Pacific." So she chose C. Hoo boy, she's a smart one. At the gift shop, I got a key chain with a dolphin on it. Then almost lost it when I left it on the table at the restaurant we ate at. (Now everyone notice how I'm not complaining. I'm purposely leavin out the bad parts of the day. Since I don't want to remember them anyway.) At some point during the day, I also realized that Stargate has similarities to the series Animorphs. Mostly because of the evil parasite things that take over people, and want to take over the world/universe. I don't know why I was thinking about Animorphs. I just was, for no real reason. I haven't thought about Animorphs for a long time. I'll shut up now.
