Today we went to Highlands. It's another thing my parents insist on doing every time they come here. I don't know why. It's the same old stuff every time, except sometimes some of the places go out of business, and then my mom doesn't like whatever new place replaces it. That's what happened this time pretty much. She didn't buy anything and complained that the shops she liked were gone. We had lunch first before walking around to all the little stores, and my mom complained about that too, saying how the restaurant we went to had been so much better last year or something. Someone called me, they were a new member to Gaians of Florida, I talked with him for a few minutes but got off because I don't know how many minutes I have on my phone. And then of course we went to the stores and stuff. In one of the last stores we went to, I saw this shirt that was perfect for my dad. I showed it to him. It said "I enjoy taking a nice dump". Of course my first thought was of using the bathroom. And all this time we'd been here my dad had not shut up about how he needed to poop and just announcing it all the time. It was getting pretty annoying. But what the shirt was really referring to was a picture on the shirt of people falling out of a boat, into the water. This of course made it even more perfect though, because of the canoe accident he and my uncle had had. I mean you couldn't get anymore perfect than a picture of a boat flipping over upside down and dumping the people out, because that is what had happened to them. I told him he needed to get that shirt, but he wouldn't. I don't think he likes the whole canoe accident, I think it embarrasses him. But it sure as hell is funny. If I had had money, I might have bought it for him when he wasn't looking. My mom said I should have got it for him, but she wanted that she should have got it for him herself. Oh well. It would have been funny to get one for my uncle too. After that we went to the ice cream place and I got some ice cream and was able to use the wireless for a little bit to get online. After that we went home, and I got online again, and found that Ivy and Ralph were on new screen names because of the spoilers. I don't blame them, I think it was a good idea, and while I don't feel like making a new screen name, I may stick to names only Kaz or a few people know, or not stay on AOL quite as much, until I get the book finished. I'm definitely going to be careful not to find out what happens.
