First –
   Merry Christmas
   Happy New Year

This is insane. I’m on Christmas break, but I’m still too busy to post anything on here. Maybe part of that is that it kinda sorta slips my mind.

Anyway, today I went ice skating with some friends and now I’m REALLY tired. Since my youth group isn’t meeting today, I’m going to my old one. I don’t really feel like going since I’m so tired, but oh well.

I shouldn’t really space my postings so far apart because then I get these huge long ones.

For Christmas, my dad got the family the HP Photosmart 315 Digital Camera. It’s got something like a 2.3 megapixel resolution and 3 quality levels. It’s really cool because you can take picture after picture and if you ahve a big hard drive and a cd-burner (for backups), you’ll never have to worry about taking too many pictures. The only downside is that the camera devours batteries, so it would probably be a good idea to get an ac adapter to save on the batteries.

My birthday was back Dec31, so I’m 17 now. Yes, I know the about me page says I’m 16, but I haven’t had time to change that yet.

For my birthday, my dad got cable internet access from AT&T. We just have to set up an appointment for installation and then we’ll be getting online at speeds way faster than 56kbps (or the 50,666bps I usually connect at).

Also for my birthday, my dad got me a soldering iron so we could fix my police scanner, which is really cool. All we had to do was solder a connection between two points to fix it. It’s really awesome being able to listen to the cops and firemen and everyone else. Last night I was scanning the FRS (family radio service) channels as well as the police and fire and I heard some kids I know from a few blocks away. My brother and I got on our FRS radios and played jokes on them. It was pretty funny – they thought I was one of the kid’s dad’s heheehehehe. I never actually told them who I was and so we can continue to play jokes on them when they go on their radios
