holy smokes toady was a roller coaster ride! well im not allowed to play pokémon, and i pre-ordered pearl at EB Games. yesterday while i wasn't home EB phoned my house, asking for me. the guy talked to my mom, telling her pokémon pearl was out. she asks, did he ask you to phone to let him know? no he said, we're just phoning everybody. so that was pretty lucky for me. then this morning i had church until 12. it felt really long, but finally i got home. i quickly said i'm goin over to manny's house! and headed out on my bike. i biked all the way down to EB, which took me a while and got pearl, it came with a free case, and i got the headset. as im walking out my dad phones. where are you? he asks. umm around the school, me and lewis decided to bike around for some fresh air. have you picked up pokémon? he asks in a stern voice. BUSTED. longest bike ride home ever. i get home and the lecture begins. all from how they can never trust me again, to how i must spend my money wisely, to how our family doesn't communicate enough. after 1½ hours i got soccer practice, so i go and come back. we talk some more. so the $500 i had in my bank account, i have to give to my dad, he will return it when he can trust me again. my moms gonna look thoroghly thru all my games, so prob all the violent ones shes gonna throw out. before i game on any day, i have to jog on my treadmill so im in shape for soccer, read my bible and finish all my homework. im also not allowed to watch cartoons any more. only good part about this day is that super suprisingly, even tho they havn't made a decision, it seems like they might, just might allow me to play pokémon! oh man. :o
