July 13-Loooong Day

So, I got back from a REALLY long (but absolutely fun) day a little while ago. On our way out of town, we saw the MetLife dirigible. I think that was the first time I had ever seen one irl (in real life :o) I don't usually use those acronyms, but I was just feeling a little sponataneous) We went to the Harry Potter festival in Princeton, Illinois. (It's called 9 3/4 festival...or something like that) We had a blast! I'll try to post pictures soon, but I tend to get lazy and not do things like that. We were there for like 4 hours or so. (And I didn't even get grumpy!!)

July 11-Mediacom still sucks

So, our internet used to go out every once in a while. Then, the past couple weeks, it's been going out about once a day. That is absolutely ridiculous, right? Well, yesterday, the internet went out 6 times, and so far today, it's been 2 times. My mom FINALLY called them to schedule them to come out and they will...on the 23rd!!!

What REALLY pisses me off about this is that the last time they came out, we told them that something was wrong with the splitter. But the internet didn't go out while they were here, so they thought we were effing idiots or something and they didn't listen to us. So, now that the internet is going out constantly, we can try a million things, and they won't work. The ONLY thing that gets our internet to come back is to go and jiggle the wires on the splitter. The same splitter that we told them to fix, but they ignored us.

July 4-Happy Independence Day!!

I got back from seeing fireworks a little bit ago. I had forgotten how much I LOVE them!!! Ever since I watched a video in Physics class in high school, it just amazes me how they use the different chemicals to create the chemical reactions/explosions to be the different colors, or the ones that make the fizzy sound, or the ones that look like it's raining stars, or the ones that are in different shapes (I swear when I was younger, I saw one that was shaped like the American Flag), or the ones that fly around after the explosion. Man I love the Fourth of July! :o)
