Alright today my Mom, Ryan, and I went up to Mt. Pleasant to look at a car that my mom had seen. It was a Maroonish/dark red colored and it's a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2. I wasn't all that excited about red but I figured I'd go look anyways. So when we got there I took a look inside and instantly liked it, had a wonderful interior! Only things wrong with it was that the windshield was a bit cracked but that can be replaced. So the guy came out and gave us the keys and let us take it for a test drive and whatnot. Once we got back mom told him that my dad wanted to take a look at it,which really was Alex, who is my step dad. But anyways, he's like oh well you just live close? We do so hes like well why don't you just drive it back and show him it? I'm like sweeet so we took Ryan home and showed Alex and the kids. It drives soooo nice! We took it over to Grandpa's so he can check it all out. It has 113,000 miles on it which was another downfall and doesn't have a sunroof but hey, it's my first car and I can't be picky. Uncle Dan and Aunt Kathy looked at it also, they really liked it. So Grandpa, Mom, and I drove back to the place the car came from and Grandpa ended up reducing the price from $7,495 down to $6,700. Awesome!!! I decided that I wanted it and the total cost came to $7,194 or so. =D We're going to pick it up Monday night and I'm Psyched! Can't wait till I drive it, I still have yet to get my license =$.

YES! It finally came today XD after a week! But hey, at least they're here. Pretty excited, my tablet is awesome! I absolutely love it. I haven't really played with it much because I was just going over the basics/manual and whatnot. Along with that Jack got his wings and nails clipped yesterday. He looks like a lil' baldy now since he doesn't have his long flight feathers XD. And since he was so good we got him some new toys and treats. I also found this play set thing that we bought him. He is still kind of getting used to it and figuring out that its not going to bite him. Anyways I ordered some stuff from Avon too and that we should be getting today =P.
This is a video of my Quaker Parrot, Jack. I don't remember where I had gotten my wristband but I had taken it off and gave it to him to play with. He didn't want it touching him for some reason, thinking it might bite him? I don't know XD, anyways, I believe he is maybe 6 months old in this? He is about 2 years old now. Don't hold me to it ;). Anyways sorry that its so dark, I'm not sure how to lighten it up if it is even possible. And yes I have a messy desk lol

-Dances- Oh yeah it's my Birthday, lol. And guess what? I still don't have my license =0, oh my gosh I know! I don't like to drive much ^^. But anyways I stayed up till 5 am last night and woke up this morning at 10:30 am, 51/2 hours of sleep ;). I wanted to go back to bed but I've been waiting for this package in the mail, it's killing me. It said that it would come in today but I have a feeling that it wont, so hopefully tomorrow. Ok so what I'm getting is a Wacom Intuos3 6 x 8 Pen Tablet (thing you hook up to your computer and you're able to draw on it) and Guild Wars Factions: Collectors Edition (it's a game). Once I get the stuff I'll post a pic of my tablet, gosh I'm dieing to get it XD. Nothing new has really been up in my life besides camping last weekend when I got totally annoyed with my friend and then my family. I ended up coming home and going to Saginaw with my brother to see if I could find my game I wanted. But turns out all the stores are closed on the 4th, lucky go me I just wasted gas money. Went and saw fireworks in St. Louis, they were pretty cool. Celebrated my birthday on Sat because my grandma was leaving for a week and wouldn't be here for my birthday. I didn't really get any presents because I didn't know what I wanted and basically my tablet is my birthday gift. Got some money from my dad and grandparents for my first car that I need to get soon (and my license) so I'll be able to go to work when school starts up again, eek. Other than that pretty boring, oh did I mention I'm dying to get my tablet and game? Oh I think I did ha ha =D ~
Edit: I just realized that this is my 17th post on my 17th birthday, ha sorry XD...

So like I said in my last blog, my cousins came here Thursday night and stayed at my grandmas. It sucked because I've been waiting FOREVER to see them, so I was practically jumping out of my skin to see them just to find out I wouldn't see them until Friday, ugh. I was like well whatever, at least I could clean my room, it's a mess =D.
Friday
It's morning and I woke up and call immediately over to my grandparents house, my grandpa said that they were still sleeping, argh D=. I had him tell them to call once they had woken up. A half hour later Manda called and we talked a little bit then decided that we wanted to each other asap! She asked Grandma when they could come over butTyler was still sleeping and Becca had wanted to take a shower. We told her she could take a shower at my house and that Tyler could be woken up. It still would have been an hour before they could come so Manda and I decided to meet each other at the 711. It was nice, Josh wanted to come with to get a slurpee and so when we got there Manda and Becca were walking. We bought monsters and drank them on the way home. We just chilled in the cool air conditioning until Grandma brought Tyler and the girl's clothes. Manda and Becca wanted to go to Walmart to just look around but we had no way of actually getting there. Ryan had been getting ready to go to Imlay City with Mike to go see Mike's Aunt and to see this girl Ryan had been liking. We asked if he could take us to Walmart and he agreed if we had bought him a 2 liter of Mt. Dew . We went and dropped Grandma off then went to Walmart where we bought the book The Host by Stephine Meyer. We came back home and once we packed all our stuff in the back of the truck we had to sit like a bunch of Mexicans in the bed of the truck, how fun! It was boiling outside and with the topper on the truck it was hot. Listening to techno and jammin' in the back we made it to the campground alive. We unpacked and then went to go fishing with hot dogs and marshmallows, woot! Becca had Jessica's short fishing pole and I had Josh's then Manda had Grandpa's which was the best one we had. After about an hour we were close to getting this big fish that had kept doing figure 8's around our bait. After awhile we finally caught him, this guy that was maybe in his 20's kept driving around the pond and looking at us stopped when he seen we caught it. We told him we didn't want it off the hook because we were going to get a camera. He took it off anyways and tried to give it to Manda, she ended up dropping it and it swam away which was alright. We got tired of fishing after that and decided to go swimming. When we were on top of the trampoline on the pond this guy that was with his kid came walking by and said that he wanted to see only one of us on there and the other two in the water, kind of like queen of the trampoline. It was a little creepy but we just wanted him gone so Becca pushed us off finally and he left. We went under the trampoline then and these two kids came out and started jumping, we were listening to them being stupid. After they had gone out Becca and I went back up top just because. This guy that looked about 18 came out with his sister and we all sort of sat there. We learned that he was actually 17 and that his name was Erin , I forgot what his sisters name was. Manda was underneath still when this old man on a golf cart came by and asked Becca if she had a wrist band, she said that she went here and that she was 14. He gave her a not-so-sure look and then pointed at me and asked where mine was and I said that I went here too and I'm 16. He then asked the little girl and said that she needed a wristband, he even thought the Erin was older than he was. Erin and his sister had to get off but we still stayed there. Manda came up then and asked what happened. We told her and one of the kids that was on before came back and was all trying to show off. His friend didn't want to come back out in the water but we all persuaded him. We learned that the kid showing off was Cody (he was cuuute) and that his friend was George, he had a mohawk. The old man finally came back and told us that we had to have a wrist band anyways and to get off. So we all got off and us three decided to swim around the shore for awhile. We were making fun of the old man when Erin heard us and started to laugh at what we were saying. Manda said something along the lines of him not being able to lift "it" up. It was hilarious but finally we decided to head back and see if Mom would get us wristbands. Unfortunately it had started to rain and she wouldn't go down to the store. It had stopped raining when we went and took showers down at the bathroom. We seen Erin and his sister when we were walking back up. It started to sprinkle a little bit and I didn't want my clothes being soaked so I started to run. Manda said that the faster you run the more you get wet, but I figured well if it was going to down pour I'd be more dry if I got back faster, which was the case =D. We just relaxed and read our books that we had then finally went to bed.

Saturday
Manda decided to wake me up by tapping me on the arm. I ask her what time it is and she says 8 a.m. I'm like argh I'm going back to sleep! so I cover my face up with my blanket and try to go back to sleep. Manda's like,"Hey want to see something cool?" I'm like no I want to sleep. She's like come on you know you want to see. So I'm like fine, I look and she pulls down the towels that cover the windows to keep the light out and I go blind for a few seconds before I cover my eyes up again, argh I wanted to hit her! She finds it hilarious and keeps laughing so I end up getting up and we take a walk around the campground. We get back and end up having our traditional pancakes and other breakfast stuff. After that mom goes and gets us our wrist bands so that the old man doesn't get a hernia over it, lmao. We go fishing once again and decide that we're going to try to catch another big fish. Erin and his sister were going around the edge of the pond trying to catch frogs or something, when he spotted us then he came over to where we were fishing. Manda and I felt kind of jealous about him hitting on Becca but in reality it doesn't matter. He lives in FL even though he was born inDetroit . Anyways getting off topic lol, Manda and I were trying to catch a small minnow or something to maybe catch a bigger fish on. Becca caught a big fish on Josh's fishing rod and it was a big ordeal because the fish got it hooked through its eye or something. Finally getting it out and letting it go we gave up on fishing once the tramp (trampoline) was somewhat available, it was full of kids when we got there. Cody and George came and watched us fish for awhile. Some kid on the trampoline was yelling hey mullet kid some up here! It was hilarious because he was talking about George. After all the kids had gotten off the tramp we dove in and took over the fort. Jessica, Josh, and Tyler came out a little while later and stayed on for about an hour, Tyler was being a pansy because he didn't want his hair wet so it was an overall effort to get him into the water. We finally did and then he went in and took a shower, baby! After Jessica and Josh left Erin and Becca were being all flirtatious, Manda and I were under the tramp playing with the little fish that seemed to swim up to us quite close. It was really neat to be that close to little fish! Although sometimes they would try to go up our swimsuit skirts which was awkward, I'm not going to lie lol. Anyways after awhile I went back on top of the tramp and Manda kept at it with the fish. Cody told Manda that he would give her 3 Million Dollars if she caught one of the fish barehanded. Sure enough 5 minutes later we hear,"I GOT ONE! I SWEAR I GOT ONE, LOOK!" We all look like what the heck?!?! and she hands us up a fish. It was sweet lmao I'm like to Cody,"Awwwwww someone owes Manda 3 Million Dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!" Hes like oh crap, just as shocked as we were that she caught a fish. After that it was mainly trying to push people off (mainly Becca) and then we went in for lunch which everyone else went in also because we were the party, oh yeah lol! The funny thing about the pond was that the old crab pot of a man didn't even come around once to check to see if we had wristbands. I was sunburned bad so I ended up putting on sun screen and everything, I always forget =S. After all the swimming we did we decided to chill for a bit after lunch. During one of the walks we took around the park we found these mud puddles by the playground where that creepy dude was playing basketball. We were stomping around in them when he said that we were getting dirty(something like that) Becca said that he should come try it if it doesn't think it feels gross. He started to walk towards us and we took off running, creepy dude majorly!!!! We took a walk around the pond and Erin seen us then decided to go swimming so we did also since we were covered in mud. It was fun then because we all wanted to push each other off. Manda had gotten me earlier and I wasn't about to forget payback. I didn't know if I could get her off because she was sort of holding on so I was making eye contact with Erin trying to send signals to help me, I think he got it but was waiting for me to make the first move. After awhile I got tired of it not working and then yelled, "Hey look at that kid!!!" while pointing and Manda looked, thats when I took the chance to grab her under her knees and push her over. It was hilarious and everyone was like that was good! *laughs evilly* Another part of the night was when we were rough housing on the trampoline trying to get people off, Erin hurt his sister somewhat because she wouldn't stop being annoying. She always faked like she was hurt and so one time she really did look hurt, well he went to go help her and he was semi kneeling by her when she turned up and punched him in the balls. Oh my gosh, it was hilarious! All of us but Erin was laughing so hard, he had a few selected words for his sister. We ended up staying out swimming past 10 which is "quiet" hour, we got kicked off the tramp but we just stayed at the shore. Tyler, Manda's brother and my cousin, came to get us to go back to camp but we acted like we weren't there. After 10 minutes some guy came and was like, "Park security, you have to get out of the pond right now." All of us was like what the heck? So we all start getting out of the pond and then it was that creepy dude from before it turned out! So we all ran back into the pond until Alex came to get us again. Erin walked back with us and then he said he might be able to come over and sit with us by our fire which was ok. All three of us sat out by the fire and made some smores and junk. Erin never showed up so we just went to bed.
Manda decided to wake me up by tapping me on the arm. I ask her what time it is and she says 8 a.m. I'm like argh I'm going back to sleep! so I cover my face up with my blanket and try to go back to sleep. Manda's like,"Hey want to see something cool?" I'm like no I want to sleep. She's like come on you know you want to see.

Manda and I felt kind of jealous about him hitting on Becca but in reality it doesn't matter. He lives in FL even though he was born in
Mom woke me up to tell me that they'll be back later for us which was sweet that we didn't have to go to church and that we could stay a little longer to see Erin and maybe Cody and George. So we slept in more and woke up before mom and them came. We took a walk around the park which sucked because my feet were killing me from walking with my cheap sandals (stupid Walmart brand). Once we got all packed up
Monday
Manda had to work so we didn't do a whole lot of coolie stuff in the morning. I just basically laid around and read my book. Went with Grandma to the grocery store an bought some junk for dinner. Came home and waited for Manda to get off work. We ate a good dinner then headed off toChesterfield for a movie. We seen The Happening, it was an alright movie I was sort of confused throughout the majority of it. We stopped at a some pet stores because Manda wanted to look at buying two mice. Weird I know but she's cool like that!

Manda once again had to work the morning =[, we left after she had left at 11 a.m. Sucks to have left so early but I was kind of glad to be going home and sleeping in my own bed. When I got home though I was kind of depressed for not being around her because we had had so much fun. She had given me her old license which was nice it cheered up my day. When I get my license I'm totally giving her my old one! Ha ha we're weirdos =P. I hope that when I go to Ludington, MI. that we're both able to get time off to go!! <3
