| I woke up to Jimmy knocking on my door, telling me to
get up, lol! I went out and he and Matt had gone to McDonald's and
got some breakfast, but none for me because they didn't know what I
would want. So I just had some cereal (it was Cinnamin Toast Crunch
so I'm glad I had that instead). He took us back to Bro. Jason's
house in his aunt's car (his brakes were bad) and he had the top
off. It was a little chilly but not too bad. We agreed that Ben
would be playing the 64, but when we got there, Andrea and Amy were!
Sis. Donna said I could use the computer to do email, and I went to
ask Bro. Jason and he showed it to me. (15" moniter with 100mhz CPU and
32MB of RAM, Yay, sarcastic) I showed Bro. Jason my "hot tub" story,
and he was really amazed and said that it's exactly how our church
is. He said he wouldn't change anything. I did some little setting
changes on their computer and they said it went a lot faster :) and
he said that Sis. Donna had a musical keyboard that hooks to the
computer, but it doesn't work anymore and they can't figure out why.
I tried some things and then decided to reinstall the sound card
drivers from the internet. It took a while to download and my dad
thought it would be a good idea for us to go to the Idaho Discovery
Center (oh boy!) *jumps for joy* The Discovery Center! (sarcastic)
So I couldn't finish the computer. Sis. Donna was at work so she
couldn't come, and we decided to meet at Bro. Jon and Sis. Pat's
house first. Jimmy had to get gas and he asked his mom for some
money, and then took Andrea and Amy to get some, but I decided to
stay and talk to Sis. Pat. I told her about Kelli too (I guess she
was on my mind) and she said that she's glad about our relationship
(friends). Bro. Jason arrived in his minivan with the rest of my
family and then Jimmy came back with gas. We went to the Discovery
Center and we saw some mechanical dinosaurs and then there was this
bicycle room and one had metal legs on it and there were 4 buttons
on the console. 2 for the right leg and 2 for the left. You had to
press them at the right times to make the legs peddle. Bro. Jason
couldn't do it very well, neither could my mom, nor anyone else whom
I saw, but I got them going pretty smoothly :) :) =D And there was
the electric room. There was a thing where you put your 2 fingers on
these metal plates and then crank the handle and it sent electric
pulses through your fingers! The faster you turned it, the more
microamps. Jimmy did it and he pulled his hand away every time, so
did Bro. Jason. I did it and kept my fingers on it for a while and
tried to turn it as fast as I could. It felt like my hand was
asleep. There was this case with an open computer inside, and I saw
that it had 2 hard drives, but the wires were cut on one of the
power connectors. It had a 3.5" floppy disk drive of course and it had a tiny
processor without even a fan, and there was only 1 extension card in
it! It was the video card, but it was the cheesiest one I have ever
seen. It took up half of an ISA slot and it was CGA! Talk about
dumb! Then we left and ate at Subway and then we had plans to have
dinner at Bro. Wayde and Sis. Cora's house.
At their house there was no computer and Sis. Donna was there in
the kitchen, and I came and said "Oh, you live HERE too?" She played
along and said she lived all over. Bro. Jason was at the house too.
I had told him about Kelli and he said that he hopes that things
work out between us, like about Spring Break. Sis. Donna was making
dinner so I knew it would be good, hehe. While I waited, the TV was
on and I went and saw that the Dragonball Z movie, Tree of Might was
coming on. So I sat and watched it until Bro. Wayde came and said
dinner was ready. I sat at a table with Jimmy, Andrea (17 years
old), and Amy (16). After dinner I helped clean up, and the brethren
had a visit in the living room, and I actually had some things to
say. Sis. Donna was coughing some :( poor her. There was some of
that chocolate stuff she made, and I had some :) Then we were going
back to hers and Bro. Jason's house. As it turned out, I had to ride
with Sis. Donna to her house (aww, too bad) and it was just us. She
told me about how in her house growing up, there were 10 kids and
they were allowed to make fun of each other and how she didn't like
it. And when Bro. Jason was first dating her he would compliment her
on something and she would reply with something else that was wrong with her,
like with her clothes. I told her about Kelli and how I like
cheering people up online and she said that sounds like a very good
quality. She really likes card and board games, and I had made up my
own game that you play with UNO cards, and I told her I would show
her how. At her house, Bro. Jason showed us how to play some card
game, and it was too late to show her. Andrea, Amy, and Catie (11
years old) were going to sleep at Bro. Wayde and Sis. Cora's house,
and everyone else at the places we slept before. I tried some more
with the keyboard on their computer, but was unsuccessful in getting
their keyboard to be heard on the computer :( Bro. Jason got his
wife to bed because she had to get up for work and she had a cold.
Ben was going to sleep at Sis. Tammy's house with us now, and he was
going to share my bed! I woke up in the middle of the night with his
head on my pillow and his feet on his side. He's 9.
