The 2 week check in.

Suppose I should say something about the last…Um two weeks. *laughs* Yeah…I’ve been terrible at updating, I know, I know. *hangs head*

Not really sure where the time went.

Had my first, and hopefully only, bad instance with Todd…It was over the phone, and he was pretty out of it. He felt bad about it the next day, and has apologized every time we’ve talked since. That was almost two weeks ago…[Will be two weeks Monday.]

Other than that…Things haven’t been too bad.

Really not sure what went on up to the 2nd. *looks around* I’m sure it was something…Mostly everyday stuff I guess…Walkies, which are always good. Just plain hanging out, which is of the goods too.

Raya & Derrick have decided to go to Louisiana. *huggles sister tightly* I will miss them terribly, but I understand that they have to do what they feel is right. I would not want to stand in the way of that. Raya & I have conquered distance once, as proven by our friendship/sisterhood, we aren’t about to let it get the best of us now. I wish them all the best, and the best of luck.

Anyway…On the 2nd we went to T.C. to do some shopping. *pokes at thing on lap that I am currently typing one* New laptop…*pokes it some more* I’m…Eh…It’s a laptop. It’s odd…I guess it’ll just take some getting use to. It’s different from the other two…& it runs the evil Vista. Blah. *burns down Bill Gates for coming up with Vista*
I got Sonja a MCR [My Chemical Romance] messenger bag & Harley a Naruto one. Plus I got Sonja a book about cats, and Harley some Indiana Jones legos.
Also got myself an outfit from Hot Topic…It’s a black skirt & black tank top…There are little metal skulls on it. Half to get a picture I suppose…And also one that shows my hair, as I haven’t taken any pictures really since it went to brown instead of purple. [Though I did pick up a couple of put in hair strands, in purple, as I do miss having the odd hair colouring…I just need to give my hair a break though.]

Thursday the 3rd. O.o *laughs*
Okay…Most usually (the last few weeks anyway), Todd’s days off have been Wednesday and Thursday. Well didn’t get to see him at all Wednesday (as 1. He was broke, meaning no gas money & 2. We were in T.C. anyway.) Well Thursday he was still suffering from lack of gas money funds & his brother was up from downstate for the 4th of July week-end…So he couldn’t really leave either. Sooooo…Instead of coming to see me, he invited me over there. [Raya & Derrick had been invited too…But declined. & he had invited a couple people from work, but they declined, or said they would call when they got out of work, but hadn’t called by the time I left. Anyway…] So…I got to meet Todd’s mom, his father (*glares at his father* I do not care for the man…He is condescending, and just plain *growls* Granted, none of it was aimed towards me, but it was towards Todd…And I found it just rude the way he treated his own son, and talked down to him, especially in front of me.) Plus I met his brother Scott, his brothers wife/girlfriend (I’m not sure which she is) Jenny…His sister Crystal…His one uncle & his uncle’s new girlfriend.

Crystal said that Todd never brings anyone around…So I felt kind of, of the special, that he’d invite me over when he knew his family was going to be there in full force. [In fact, there was suppose to be even more of his family there, but due to power outages downstate they were postponed in coming up here.]

From what I gathered, his family figures I’m his girlfriend, Crystal even referring to me as such at one point…Still don’t know what he refers to, or thinks of me as. I know, I know…I need to figure that one out. Then again, I still haven’t came out and told him point blank how I feel either…So *shrugs* I don’t know. I’ll get there when I get there I suppose.

I had wanted to (intended to) stay the night…Todd had been hoping/figuring such as well. We would have had a whole camper trailer to ourselves. But, noooooo, I had to be stupid and call Mum and ask her what I time I was suppose to be home. *growls* And despite the fact that she had spent the night before elsewhere…She could watch the Critters with no trouble…And she didn’t have to get up and go to work the next morning…I still had to come home. *growls*

4th of July…Went to Boyne City…Myself, Mum, the Critters, Raya & Derrick. Wandered around town for a bit…Ate ice cream at the DQ…Played at the ‘wooden park’…Found a place to settle down for the fireworks, and watched them kersplode all over the sky.

I’m thinking now I should of called Todd and let him know I wasn’t going to run for the hills after meeting his family. When I was getting ready to go he said he would try to come out Sunday after work…Which he has to close…So it would actually be Monday morning…I hope he does get to come out before his next day off (Which is Wednesday again.).

I hated saying good-bye to him the other night…Told him I was going to kidnap him…I think if his brother hadn’t been up I could have. He said he’d like to. That’s when he started to say he’d come out on his day off, then changed it to Sunday.

[Yeah, this is about to skip back in time for a minute. *laughs*]
When I went over to his house, actually met up at the boat launch first…He took me out in his dad’s boat while we waited for his brother to show up with his…Then me & him, his sister, & his brother & his whatever she is, went out on his brother’s boat. Todd, Scott & Crystal each took turns on the tube, pulled behind the boat. *shakes head at Todd* He is mental! He tried to stand up on it at one point! *rolls eyes* *laughs* [The one fall off the tube also took his shorts down! *giggles*]

Then latter on we took the quad back down to where they keep his dad’s boat, and we took a couple loops around the lake. He tried to catch a fish, but they weren’t biting.

When we got back, he attempted to get away from everyone by going out back and building a fire…But his father had to come along and say the fire pit needed cleaned out first, then started complaining about things other than wood being in the pit…And that it smelled of gasoline…and blah, blah, blah. Then had to butt in about the best way to start a fire when Todd was trying to build one…Then every one else came out back to the fire too!

Somewhere between boat rides we had some food…Todd grilled some chicken legs…OMGs, they were hot! Spicy hot! *laughs* They were really good though. Despite what his father was going on about while he was cooking them…They were better than the chicken his father had roasted in the oven…Least I thought so.

Okay…Think I’

m done with that again now.

So…Tomorrow is Sunday…& the day we take Sonja down to camp. She’s going to be gone for two weeks this year! O.o She’s really excited about it though…I hope she keeps the enthusiasm for that whole two weeks. Though I’m sure she’ll be so busy having fun that she will. She’s taking envelopes addressed to me, Raya, and Jordan (the boy from her class that had been hurt), so she can write us all a letter while she’s gone.

So…Hopefully the trip down goes smoothly…We are using our own directions to some extent…As the ones that are mapped out initially take us longer…And we found we can get there by going through T.C. too.

& Hopefully, Todd will be able to come over tomorrow night…Gods…I miss him. [I forgot to take my coat when I went to his house Wednesday, so when I got cold I ended up with one of his hoodies, which I’ve been wearing as pyjamas the last three nights now. Can’t help it, smells like him. Makes me miss him even more. *sigh*]

Well…I suppose, since this is coming up on the end of a third page, I should get done, and let those of you who have managed to read this far get on with your lives. & I’ll try not to make it two weeks in-between updates again.

[And of course…I still need a new name and what-not.]
