The network's caption says it all.

WTF? This isn't even something off of engrish.com. Mail sent to Mike.

Summer of Sober Sara

This is a long entry because its been awhile since I've filled the internet in on whats been going on in my life.

I went back up to the Walton campsite for a weekend with my dad, which turned out to be half a disaster and half a good time.

Bad News: We were lured up there with the promise of being able to use a tractor and rock out some land digging, but the trailer never made it. Traffic sucked. I heard the weekend after the whole thing broke down too. I got real sick and threw up a lot on Saturday morning. We went to fly a remote control plane and it ended up getting broken. My dad did not sleep well and he seemed to be pretty miserable the whole time.

Good News: We got to see some deer up close. I went on a really awesome ATV tour through the back woods with my pops. A guy and I caught a frog. We got drunk. I got to go to Panda's Parlor and got ice cream (panda tracks) and a panda water bottle and panda coffee.

Overall the trip was pretty regular, but it was nice to get out there for awhile. I plan on going back up with some people to camp on the hill because I've definitely sworn off sleeping in the trailer, but lack of money and really knowing who would be interested has kept me from getting my shit together.

Secondly, Mitsuwa had a summer festival fair, and Tina Dan and Xander and I went up to check it out. I was supposed to hang out with people from Japanese class while I was there, but it didn't work out as such - by the time they called me to hang out we had already left, me being tired and cranky and really ready to just pack up and leave for vacation. We got to see some taiko drumming, which was spectacular. We also ate some gyoza, beef bowls, ice cream mochi and the likes. I mean overall it was pretty nice, but it was crowded (as always, and that place is just not super for crowds), and hot. I spent more money than I should have. More than anything it was good to get Xander up there to see something that he hadn't before, mingling with the Japanese kids and what not. To tell the truth the only thing I was thinking about the whole time was

VAACAAATIIOOONNNN

Mike and I left for the outerbanks (duck, NC) that night, around 3am. I was throwing up during most of the drive there because I had drank a few shots before I went to bed and well that is just normal for me these days it seems, but Mike was able to drive most of the way there.

We had a really good time.

I won't bore you with details, because there aren't really actually, we did not much but lay around and play video games and watch the Olympics. We went parasailing, went to the ocean once, and took a day trip to Ocracoke which is an awesome island south of Hatteras. Here's the pictures I took.

I've been to the outerbanks twice now, and I've always wanted to stay north near Kitty Hawk and what not, but now that I have I know why Holly has always gone to Hatteras. Its just better there, calmer, less kids, etc. We're already planning on going back next year, but this time I'm bringing my dog, and more people. It was super nice to be there with just Mike because we had never really spent that kind of time together, but we both agreed it would have been more awesome with more friends. That way I could have gone fishing, and he would have someone else to pummel in Smash Brothers Brawl.

Here's some of our pictures from the vacation!
