Today my school went on a field trip. thats what they called it... however it was more like we got on a bus, went to some place that has no value other than to those who consider history valuable, then went shopping... ok so i guess that is a field trip... whatever. i dont even know how to spell it... how dumb is that... St Augustine? St. Agustine? oh well. so... other examining the large fort, with many cannons to stick your head in and bathrooms that were pretty much just a room with sand on the floor (ew), we went through the local shops. im pleased to say i didnt buy anything... however i was out a good 2 dollars from loans before we left... one of which was stabbed and ripped in half and "magically" repaired thanks to the magician in one of the shops. one store, which i had been referred to by Mr. Firch, was probably the best. Its called Shades and Blades. it sells lots of swords, knives, axes, you name it. after we had pretty much finished shopping, i was walking over to where the others were eating ice cream, and i passed a guy sitting on the ground next to a wall playing a guitar and singing. i decided to stay and listen for a bit. he had a nice voice, and played the guitar nicely. the called me to leave so i pulled out the guitar pick i keep in my wallet and 75 cents. i had noticed he wasnt using a pick, and that is usually painful. later one of my friends was going back and i gave her a gospel tract to give to him (just what i had in my wallet) and one of the chaperones gave her one too. I asked her later and she had given him $6. that impressed me =). anyway... so after the long dull ride home, i continued my day on a given routine. (email/myspace, chores, whatever) today the whatever consisted of me changing out the strings on my guitar (which included taking the whole thing apart to get the remains out) and in the end it didnt accomplish what i had hoped because my Tremolo bar still doesnt go forward... oh well... i guess i just have problems. another interesting event today... when my dad came home he told me that someone (as he put it "a reliable source") told him that he saw me kissing a girl at youth group, and even when i told him that it deffinitely didnt happen, i dont think he believes me.... thing is i would know if i did that and i know that i didnt.... so its kinda annoying. well schools out in just about a week now... i cant wait.
