ONE! Yesterday I was on the phone with Mindy and all of a sudden the phone line completely cut off. And by that I mean the PHONE LINE got cut off! And I had no cell phone :( I'm in my sandals, my hair looks like afroturf and I run to my next door neighbors house to see if I can use his phone. No one is there! I see my friend's house a few houses down and I run to his house and no one is there either! I didn't just want to go up to a stranger's house! My nearest friend lives about 2 or 3 blocks away, a total of about 0.3 miles. I RUN to his house and he's not there but his mom is and she lets me use the phone, thank God! Point is I ran like so far just to talk to her and she found it so heroic. I would run any length just to talk to her again. Later on I got really frustrated because my mom was being retarded and yelling at me for the phone line getting cut because it's SOMEHOW my fault :roll: and she tells me to fix it like I'm some sort of telephone technician. I tell her I don't know how to fix it and she calls me a "good-for-nothing" in Spanish. Then very shortly after my mom stops yelling at me she starts using the phone. Meanwhile I'm talking with Mindy on AIM and if you know my phone, you know whenever there's an incoming or outgoing call, I get knocked off the internet. And it was SO frustrating and finally I just needed to talk to her so my cousin let's me use his phone for a little while and we pray over the phone because I was so mentally frustrated and tired. I just wanted to talk to her and not listen to my mom's insults or seeing by my DSL box's blinking lights that I’ve been knocked off and I can't talk to her. It was just so frustrating. I just needed strength from the only One who could give me strength. And that was my Savior, Jesus Christ. We prayed over the phone and it was great and after out prayer and my cousin needed his cell phone back, I felt worlds better! Its great when God just answers your prayers just like that. So then today I go to lunch with my parents to a Colombian restaurant. When we come back, I was supposed to call her but I told her I needed to go somewhere after I got back. What I needed to do was look up in all the local video games stores to see if they have Parappa the Rapper. Your first reaction might be :? but let me explain. Several days ago Mindy told me that she wants to buy that game one day because she had such fun with it back when it first released, but she never got around to buying it. Since our 2-month anniversary is this Friday, and me not being completely thoughtless, I figure TWO! I should buy it for her and give it to her as a gift for Friday. Luckily our anniversary is the day of a church event so we'll be able to spend that day together. And it's TEN HOURS LONG! Huzzah! I love spending time with her :) Anyways like I said, I THOUGHT finding Parappa the Rapper would be a breeze.... Boy, was I in for a rude awakening.... I called about 7 video game stores and the nearest one was about 12 miles away. And since I'm low on money, I had to NOT go on the toll roads and go on the lesser roads, until I got to the interstate (not a toll). I use mapquest to find the place and I just write the directions down but the road that that GameStop was on, has two "900"s in it. That GS was on 933 and it was VERY VERY shortly after my turn on the road, but I've never been there before and all of a sudden I see the numbers counting down from like 900, but I thought I would've seen it if I past it. NOT THE CASE! I keep going down and the OTHER 900s start but there's like a quantum leap at one point from like 890 to like 960. So then I'm looking around in that area and I can't find it and it takes me a while to find a store that will let me use their phone and phone book. I call them and they say they are JUST NEAR the intersection of the road I was on and the road I came from. I go back and I see it and I buy it. Get this, a game made during the PLAYSTATION era and is used, still cost me 17 bucks plus tax :| I didn't care though, she's worth more than trivial prices. I went back home (after a few mix-ups during the ride back, that is) and I talked to her and it turned out that she couldn't go to youth group that night because her parent's won't take her because they arrived home too late :cry: it's okay though, I probably wouldn't have been in the best of spirits anyway considering how knackered I was and still am. Got home spoke to her just a LITTLE bit longer. Then aid good night. Today has been exhausting, but I know she's worth any trouble... No matter how tiring...
