Hey everyone! It's been FOREVER since I posted here, I know! I'm at my dad's for the summer! Well not really for the summer, just the month of July. I should be getting back to Canada around August 4th or 5th. Anyway, I've been having a good time. We have a pool in our backyard, and I go swimming in that every day or every other day.

My dad, step mom Jeanne,12 almost 13 year old step brother Austin, and I went fishing at a lake with Jeanne's brother Shaun and his girlfriend/Jeanne's best friend, Jeana and her kids. We just got a few trout, nothin' too special, but it was fun.
I also got to babysit for Jeana one day, and made like $25.00 so that was cool. 

Heh, dad and Austin have been having some issues that they had to work out violently. :p Austin and dad get on each other's nerves so they went into the bedroom one night, and Jeanne and I heard them screaming and yelling for help, and we go in there dad's got Austin in a head lock, Austin's giving my dad a titty twister and my dad's stuck on a little foot stool thing cause it broke and he got stuck in it. I sat on my bed watching them fight while I ate ice cream! It was so hilarious! Jeanne didn't think so, it pretty much gave her an anxiety attack so dad and Austin cooled off. But then the other night there was another instance, where Austin sprayed dad and Jeanne with a squirt gun while they were sitting on the hammock outside. Well dad picked Austin up and threw him fully clothed into the pool while Jeanne got the hose and sprayed him with cold water. Then dad got his swim trunks on got into the pool and started beating on Austin with a noodle floaty thing. I can't remember what they're called. Well anyway, Austin threw a wet sock at dad and hit him square in the face and then dad beat Austin even harder with that floaty thing. Then Austin started crying telling dad to leave him alone, but once dad left him alone, Austin grabbed the floaty and started beating dad with it. Dad regained possession of the floaty and proceeded to beat Austin with it until Jeanne went in the house having another anxiety attack. Nobody was seriously hurt in either of these instances, it was simply comical for me. Austin did wind up crying, though I'm convinced that was just to get dad to stop. He does that a lot where he fake cries.

Oh I also got to meet my other step brother Tim for the first time this summer. He came up on his 18th birthday. He's only half an inch taller than I am! I'm 5'6.5" and he's 5'7"! I was amazed! Anyway, we had fun shooting little army men with airsoft guns and wow! The army men explode when you shoot them at close range! It's awesome! :D Anyway, Tim and I discovered we share the same taste in music and sunglasses! :)

My sister came down for a long weekend as well, and all of us went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and when dad and Jeanne went out for dinner for their anniversary, Austin went to Shaun and Jeana's and Michelle and I went and saw the movie Transformers.  That was a good movie!

Yesterday we went to Jeana's cousin's birthday party, they had a big pool there so we got to go swimming. Wow there was really hot girl there too! I came out of the bathroom from changing into my swim trunks and walked outside and there she was standing right by the hot tub! Would have talked to her, but she was there with her boyfriend. At least I hope it was her boyfriend who was all over her. :p

Anyway, I should probably get going. I just wanted to post all of this today cause I had some time and was thinking about it.
I'll post again eventually!

Hey everyone! Well, today was the official last day of school for the summer. Yea! Of course I still have exams as previously mentioned to deal with, but oh well I will survive. Yea! And obviously, since it was the last day of school, there was all sorts of mischief going on. There were people throwing eggs in the hallways, there was supposed to be a huge food fight taking place at lunch time today, but apparently to prevent that the school administrators were kicking people out of the cafeteria at the drop of a hat, almost literally. And then of course just as lunch hour was getting over about a minute before the bell, I was just getting to my class, someone pulled the fire alarm. The fire department showed up, made sure everything was o.k. and then let us back inside of school. Not 15 minutes later, someone else pulled the fire alarm! And then we had to go outside AGAIN and wait for the o.k. to go back in, nothing else happened during that block, but once again, just before the next class started, apparently the 3rd time was the charm in this case because someone pulled the fire alarm, and this time they got caught! So yeah, it was a pretty chaotic day for the teachers from lunch time on. Of course everyone else just cheered on the "rebels" to try and get a laugh out of the last day of school.
On another note, I downloaded or rather, my mom downloaded for me, a photo editing program called Gimp. I am now self-teaching myself how to use it. It's really fun. I turned a picture of my cat into a black and white picture - that's not very hard though, but it is fun.
Oh, by the way, I'm babysitting for Mr. Jones tomorrow night at 6:45. I'm going over around 6:15 so he can show me what to do for his son. :)
Anyway, the fun of summer now awaits.
Bye for now,
