150th Post! Huzzah!!
So about the camping trip...it was tons of fun!
We went bike riding on an ancient railroad or something through these HUGE tunnels that are like a mile long, and you can't ride through them because it's so dark, all you can see is the light at the other end. There were lots of people in there and I accidentally kicked someone's black lab.
The best (and worst) part was the horse ride. It was me, Dean, Steve, Dean's Mom, the horse chick, and her 5-YEAR-OLD NIECE. So anywho you ride your horse in a line with the others and follow the chick as she shows you all around her land (amidst a ton of huge bluffs and crap; it's really pretty).
So we get through this gate about 5 minutes into the ride. Dean's mom is supposed to close it behind us while we wait, and it takes her like, another 5 minutes. So as soon as she closes the gate, we hear other horses. The neighbors 3 untrained horses had broken a fence and gotten onto the guide lady's land and were freaking charging at us. The lady's like "We need to get out of here right now". She grabs the reins of the little girls' horse and yanks her through the gate, meanwhile the three horses are right next to us. All the horse are stamping, snorting, and acting really jumpy. Steve's horse actually tries to rear up. I get through the gate right after the little girl and the chick closes the gate behind me because the three horses are trying to come through the gate. So Dean, Dean's Mom, and Steve are stuck on the other side while the chick is yelling at the horses to get lost.
We finally all got through and had a pleasant ride, but after that, my hands were shaking like crazy and I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack! Scariest moment of my life, I'm telling you! So then the woman tells us that the same thing happened 2 years ago and that time, she was with a bunch of little kids! And she's like "Yeah, at least no one got kicked this time. But if we had gotten to the middle of the trail when they found us, we'd have been screwed." ARGH!!
So since then, nothing much has happened. I've been watching tons of anime like crazy, ordering a bunch of new series. For my own sake, I'm going to list all my completed series now...(I like seeing how many new ones I've gotten). Ones in italics are in the mail...

And here's the HILARIOUS Japanese prank thing!! I feel so sorry for the naked dudes...
OH, and Hooch...check out the song "Ballad of Maxwell Demon (Shudder to Think)" from the movie Velvet Goldmine. You can watch the video from the movie on YouTube, just type it in! It's an awesome song sung by a total hottie, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (and he's actually singing it!) Yes, he looks totally lame in the movie, but he's playing an 80's rockstar. :) I think you'll like that song!(Any new suggestions for me?)
**Scampi, I have a bazillion new shows now!! Ask your brother if he wants to borrow any on my list; the ones I think he'll like/I recommend have ** next to them. :)
Okay, that's a big update!! But I haven't written in forever and I don't want to incur the Wrath of Steph.
