back (for the time)

(yet again, my sister)

sweeeet....NY for a week, then the New Jersey coast for like a week. Quite awesome.

So, like, July 4th was absolutely awesome too....I was doing a mission-trip thingy with my church youth group on Staten Island, and we woke up at like 5:30 to go in to the city and get on the Today Show, which was absolutely sweet, since I was like on tv like a million times.

That trip was just insanely awesome in general, though. The last night, there were five of us that pulled an "all-nighter". It was absolutely insane, because the lack of sleep throughout the week added up, and by the end of the night, we all seemed totally drunk, and were talking about totally random things, and like slurring our words (well, only one of us was slurring our words). It was an amazing experience.

Then, I went to New Jersey. I caught a ton of fish, but unfortuanetely, they were too small for us to eat. Boogy boarding and body surfing were really cool, though. Avalon is pretty much one of the richest areas I have ever seen, and they have some quite massive houses with an insane amount of expensive cars and such. Let's see, I saw at least three Bentlys, like five Rolls Royces, and like a million Jaguars. Our Toyota highlander was a little out of place.

And, yes, one may ask, how did I have time for running through all of this. I didn't. And that's why I'm totally screwed. But it's all good.

And so, yes, I am here now, and am pretty much ready to fall asleep after about nine hours of driving. We were (unintentionally) following a storm up the coast while we were driving home, and it was supposedly creating tornadoes. Crossing like a random river in NJ, I saw like a million branches that were ripped off trees, and like three docks that were ripped off and turned upside-down by a tornado. It was pretty freaky.

And so, I shall get some sleep now.

Bye

*Laughs* I'm going to quote you. "Avalon is pretty much one of the richest areas I have ever seen, and they have some quite massive houses with an insane amount of expensive cars and such."

Yes. That's true. That's like saying "The Holocaust was sorta bad." A bit of an understatement, no?

I'm glad you noticed though!

Oh, and all-nighters after (a) week(s) of nonsleep just make everything more interesting. Heh, cheers to that.

Seriously excellent photography, by the way. I'm a fan.
