When I am Silent . . .

Alright , where do I begin ? I am so happy this morning ! I got my laptop fixed , which I am ecstatic about . I took it to the Geek Squad yesterday and at first we thought my operating system was damaged but after running some neat tests they found out my hard drive was damaged (Due to excessive shock . which is pretty intense .) Luckily though , I was under warrenty and I got it repaired same day for FREE . My favourite number . The people there weren't really very friendly though . Shame .

Also , today is my second day off ! I go back tomorrow , but it's been so nice to have two days off . I was working pretty hard pretty consistently and my house showed that . So , I got it sort of cleaned up . Here's a picture of my living room and my dog Bonnie .





So , that makes me happy . Yesterday turned in to a bit of a drag for a while . I won't write why because even thinking about it puts me back there . But Johnathon , Stevie and I ended up going to frolf (which is so fun , you should too .) then we all went and had root beer floats together . We needed them , that's for sure . We went to this little , kind of trashy place where you drive up and wait for service . No buttons or speakers . It's a nice place though . Good , I mean .




And Oh , I love Columbia . I wonder if I'll grow tired of it . I used to pride myself in the fact that I would always grow wherever I was planted and enjoy myself . I guess I sort of settled in to this habbit of leaving and always looking for the next place to go . And , a lot of people just are never happy with what they've got . So many girls here whine about how everyone here sucks and they hate this town . Johnathon has been here for 3+ years and he still talks about how much he loves it . I think it's probably just the type of people they are . Johnathon is definately happy wherever he is .




Here's a great Columbia story . Last Sunday , Johnathon , Stevie , his girlfriend Kylie , Lua and two friends of ours Grace and Felix were all outside playing Bean Bag Toss . It was a wonderful day , our neighbors were outside also playing games involving beer bottles and frisbees haha . Anyway , we looked up and saw a wonderful hot air balloon ! After Kylie and I settled down (franticlly squealing and pointing like a tourist) we grabbed our cameras and snapped away !

Soon after , we noticed more ! Three more ! Including one that was a monkey or maybe a bear . And Johnathon told me that they have a goldfish one that drops little packs of goldfish . How wonderful ! The balloons were beautiful and we started noticed one getting extra close to us . My dog , Bonnie , hated them . At first she just whimpered a bit , however , when they started making noises that to her came off as growling she got very angry . She puffed up that hilarious patch of fur and growled right back ! We ended up having to sit and calm her down because she acted as if they were rival dogs or something . All the while , the first balloon we noticed was getting closer and closer .



So , Johnathon , Felix and Stevie hop on their bikes and ride just around the corner where the first balloon is landing ! Around the corner from our house is a large field and we think they may have accidently landed there . Who knows . But here's a picture of Johnathon speedily driving away and shouting in his most manly of voices "THEY NEED MY HELP !" oh , my love is a ham .


Anyways , enough out of me . I need to start on cleaning my bedroom !
