monday-hungout with Lindsey in Harbold and Burrowes. Jeff Tragedy and Matt were chillin around Millersville i guess so they stopped by when we were in Harbold. it was fun. Lindsey and I watched National Treasure. i got home at 3am.
tuesday-went with my bro, Andrew, to bring him home from dropping his car off at the body shop to get worked on. then Jeff and Wiggy and some others were gonna go swimming but then those plans were later changed to go to a Barnstormers game. so our family was in the middle of eating supper so i couldnt go right away. around 7:30pm i left and went to the game. surprisingly i was able to get a seat right next to my friends. they were in 9-M seats 9-6 and i was able to get seat 5. amazing. so like right after i get there Steph i like can you get me a sno-cone and im like yea sure. i get both of us a sno-cone and come back to our seats. so i sit down and the 2 girls on my other-side tap my shoulder and are like "are you Ben Roberts cousin?" and im like yea crazy. and their like "yea.. we know him from Elysburg" and im like yea. and so yea i guess they lived in Elysburg and just moved here to Lancaster around March. just like my cousin and most of his family. Ben and his family except for his sister moved from Elysburg to Lancaster area. his sister is married and like out in Indiana right now but their both planing to move here to Lancaster as well. .. so yea.. the 2 girls .. one of their names was Jen and i dont remember the other ones name. so yea fun game but the Barnstormers lost again.. just like the last Barnstormers game i was at like 2 sundays ago. but at one point in this game both teams were tied at a score of 2. so i was like we could still win but nope. then Steph left early to go take a shower cuz today was one of the hottest days this year. and it was definetly hot.
wednesday-around 4:45pm I picked up Elise and we drove down to the Pequea creek at river road (where it takes a bend). so we walked maybe a mile past a couple people swimming up stream from where we were going. kept walkin and finally got to where Steph and Wiggy were. so they told us how we could get down to the water so we did and then we got in the water. all except Steph. she said she was in earlier and it was cold. well we had fun since today was the hottest day this year. and we were staying cool in the creek. i got out once and then got back in and that was when it was cold. seemed colder than before but that was probably because my body had cooled down a good bit. then Wiggy went up a little and came down through a small little rapids or somethin without a tube or anything... crazy.. then he did it again since i didnt get any pictures so i ended up taking a video of him goin down the creek. he got a battle wound doin that. after a little while we left cuz Steph had to switch cars with her mom or somethin... so we all went home to change clothes.. then Elise and I went to Darrenkamps in Willow Valley to pick up supplies for our cookout. then we went to buchanan park in lancaster. Steph, Matt, Jeff and his wife Katie met us there at the park. they were playin a little disc golf.. but it was gettin dark and they knew we had to get cooking in order to not get kicked out and stuff. so we finally got the charcoal goin.. and started cooking the hamburgers.. then Jeff and Steph were like thinkin about leaving cuz it was gettin close to 10:30pm and thats the time that the park rangers come around to see that everyone is out.. and Jeff was like the fine is $1200 per person (but thats probably not correct) but anyway we kept going back and forth whether to leave or stay so i got tired of it and just basically said lets go.. so Jeff and Katie ended up gettin in my car and we left as it seemed that a park ranger pulled up behind us. so we just went to McDonalds at Willow Valley and got food that was cooked and all... cuz Jeff didnt think Wiggy was cooking it good and right either. and so Steph and Wiggy were left in the park. so we called their cell phones and finally after a while we got ahold of them and found out that they were able to eat the hamburgers. well after we got done at McDonalds we drove back through the park and the park rangers were there writing somethin up .. so they had us stop and told us they were givin us a warning and that were not supposed to be in the park after dark or dusk or whatever. so yea.. so after that we Jeff, Katie, Elise and I just went back to Jeff and Katies apartment and chilled. played a bit of playstation.. then Jeff talked to Wiggy and they said there were gonna go to the Brickyard for a bit so then we just decided to watch a movie. we ended up watchin Underworld. Katie went to bed before it was over and then after the movie was over Jeff went outside to talk to someone on the phone and then we just chilled and talked with Jeff some. then came home around 2am i think.

Todd was running a bit late but its all good. then we drove over to York to the 5 Guys Burgers and Fries... we got off track and so Holly helped us since she is from York. it was good. good burgers and good fries as far as im concerned. im just not sure which was better .. the burgers or the fries. so then after that we came back to Burrowes... with a stop before that at McDonalds for Lindsey and Marie because they were feelin sick. then i stopped at Circuit City to get somethings and then home.

--------------
saturday 8/19/06 - Nathan showed up shortly before it got dark.
sunday 8/20/06 - Jon F came down to the beach house. so after Jon showed up.. Jon didnt want to make much of anything at the beach house because he thinks its costs the same money to go out to eat as it does to make your own food in a house. so we ate out for supper like everyday now.
monday- Andy showed up for a few hours and got supper with us. supper at Pier 1 right on the other side of the bridge... i got Chicken Cordon Bleu with a dish of Linguine with tomatoe sauce. as the server was serving my dish.. i noticed steam coming out of it so i decided to cut it up into pieces right away and Jon kept stairing at me while i was doing it but i was unaware. was good but i got full quick so i couldnt finish it. the Cordon Bleu was good except the cheese sauce it was in was to thick. we went back to the beach house. Nathan and Andy left to go home.
tuesday- Geoff and Tony left to go home. Geoff's dad ended up taking him home because the garage was closed (Geoff was planin to get a ride home with the towing people while towing the broken car home to Lancaster but the garage was closed so that didnt work). Jon and I went on the beach around 3pm.. then around 4pm Jon and I were talkin on the beach and finally he got me to go find a girl and talk to her so i did. it went well.. so yea i met a girl named Tracy and shes really kool. really nice, easy to talk to and down to earth. she was on her break from working on the boardwalk and her last day of working on the boardwalk. Jon and I ate supper at some Cafe Bistro somethin or other that seemed to mostly serve italian/pizza food. it was good. i got some chicken in a lemon pepper sauce.. i guess i really didnt like it cuz the gravy was some type of thick stuff that i guess was too peppery for me. the mashed potatoes and vegatables were pretty good tho. and we had fried Calamari (rings of Squid) for an appetizer and it was pretty good.. but kinda hard for me to swallow since it seems i have a small throat. around 9pm Jon and I went on the boardwalk and stopped at Tracy's stand on the boardwalk and talked some. she talked about goin on the beach tomorrow so i asked her to call us tomorrow when she got on the beach.
wednesday- Tracy called me around 1pm to let me know she was on the beach so Jon and I got ready and joined her. it was fun of course. then we left after 2 hours cuz we wanted to get on the road and get home at a decent time. ate supper at IHOP and i was actually amazed at how good our waiter was today. i dont know that i've had a waiter that good. like she got everything in pretty quick time and all. and let us know that our food wasn't up and ready yet. around 2am Jeff Instant Messages me and asks me to come over cuz Wiggy is and stuff. so I go over and we walk to the Waffle House on Harrisburg Pike. i have 3 cups of coffee and a waffle. so now im wide awake.. when we leave its rainin so we just go back to Jeffs and hangout in his living room. then around 4am Wiggy and I leave and go home to sleep.
--------------
thursday- woke up at 1pm because i was up so late. then around 5pm I went and helped Marie move all of her stuff from Burrowes Hall to Hull Hall. around 6pm Marie and I got something to pizza to eat at the Sugar Bowl.. i dunno but i was amazed at how good the pepperoni and pizza was. i didnt think the SUgar Bowls pizza was that good but it was. the pepperoni was so fresh. then at 7pm everyone had to go to some Pride Meeting so i went home. they got out around 8:10pm so then i came back to MU and was gonna help bring Lindseys loft from Burrowes to Hull to Maries room but Lindsey and Mike M had already brought it over to Hull Hall so we just had to help carry it up to the 3rd floor. so after a little while we finally got it all put together. Then I took Lindsey and Mike to Walmart on Fruitville Pike. Lindsey got a sewing machine and some other things. Then we went over to Lititz Pike and we went through the drive-thru at Burger King. and we basically at that on the way back to MU. Then we hungout in Lindseys room and Mike went to bed pretty soon but he was probably pretty tired because its RA week. then around 1am Steph called and wanted me to bring Jeff T over to her place to install some software so I left and headed towards Jeffs.. then I called Jeff and found out that he didnt want to do it tonight or somethin .. so Wiggy and I ended up goin over to Jeffs.. and then we walked towards and to the Linden Diner from Jeffs. along the way we were looking at cars we might be interested in buying at the different car lots and of course since it was like 3am the police stop and ask us about what were doin and all. they seriously had way more police there than they needed too but oh well. then we continued on to Linden Diner. then back to Jeffs. around 4:30am Wiggy and I left and went home to sleep.

Hardcore Steve was there. so we all chilled at Jeffs place. playin Playstation and such. Wiggy finally came over and Eric did too. then Eric and his friend (band mate) left to practice for the band. then Hardcore Steve left so that vinyltragedy could have their meeting. then we got pizza. then we were gonna hangout with the girl from the radio station but that didnt work out so Eric picked us up at Toms and we came back to Jeffs place. later we all pilled back into Erics car and drove around a good bit .. then came back to Jeffs and then we all left around 4am.
