I never actualey thought I would use this thing

But here I am at mom and dads again updating from the iPhone. Who knows, mabey this app will get me updating again. I must say that being able to update whenever and wherever is pritty nifty.

Dad picked me up today around 10 30. We went back to the passport place and got everything sorted. My passport will be ready for me to pick up on the 24th. It was funny to see how different people acted towards me with out cici.

Yesterday I took her with me and was escorted to the elovator and didn't have to take a numver. Today the body of cicis harness was in the back of bryans car so she had to stay home. This time there was no escort and we had to wait in a huge line.

When we got back to maple ridge we stopped to pick up timmies and then picked up cici. Dad closed the van door on her tail and she yelped, I almost died. I felt sooo bad. She was all wags a min later though.

We got all the stuff from the travil agent today. We just have to print out our e tickets for the plain and a voucher that we need to exchange for 2 different sets of show tickets. For the other shows I just need to show I'd.

Me and mom put a list together of a bunch of free things to see when we are there. We also put a bunch of rides and stuff. By the time we were done it was 5 pages.

Anyways though that's about. It's hard to explane but I find writeing on here to feel more like writeing in a normal journal. I mean as if I were writeing it out with a pen. Iguess it's because of how long it takes me to type.

Another update from the parents place

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:51:26 GMT

So when we went to get my passport they said that I needed a birth certifacate. Appairintly this was cuz my last one was done when I was 15. We drove all the way home and looked in both houses but no luck.

So after freeking out for a bit I called this place that will ship a new one out to me. 60 bucks later and now it's on it's way. It should be here on Monday or friday.

The travil agent called and it is gonna cost us 150 or 200 for all of our show tickets. I am looking foward to it. Anyways I don't have anything ellse to write about. I will update later.

update time

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:52:56 GMT

I did a brief update from my iphone the other day when I was at mom and dads. We found out that me and Bryan are going to Vegas on the 24th and comeing back on the 29th. I'm really excited. The voucher that my parents gave us paid for the trip and pritty much all of our tickets. It is only costing us 60 bucks or something like that for all the shows we're going to see, the flight, and the hotell. I think Bryans excited to go also.

When mom gets here today I'm off to Surry to drop off my passport renewal application. It sucks that it's all the way out there, but what can you do about it. I dont think we're going to Bryans parents for dinner tonight, or rather, I'm not going. By the time he gets back from work and stuff it would be to late, so he's just going to go. *sniff* that means I have to eat dinner with my parents, whitch is okay to.

Mom just called and said she was in the process of wakeing up. Once she goes pee she's on her way here hahaha. I've been up for a while and have already checked my farm on country story. I would guess after I go to hand in my passport papers I am going to head back to there place and hang out there till they leave for work. I dont really have much ellse to write about though, so I guess on that note I'm outa here.

Update from mom and dads placer

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 22:34:18 GMT

looks like the problem fixed itself. I'm back on the pc writing a update now. my thumbs are sore from typeing on the iphone haha. I wish there was a way to set your mood. I was searching the app store to see if I could find any other apps, but I cant find any, and I dont want to have to pay for one haha. Anyways I guess on that note I'm gonna get off of here. This is the most you've seen of me in a while haha. Hope everyone had a good holiday and will have a good newyears tomorrow.

I saw jessie useing this app and thought I would try it. I havnt been up to much as of late. Mom and came home a few days ago, it was nice to see them after so long. We all wentb out to the keg lastnight for dinner and then watched a few movies. Today I think dad is comeing over to help set up the BBQ.

We are going to have a few friends over tomorrow for burgers and drinks. I find it hard to believe that soon it will be 2010. The last year has gone fast.

Anyways I don't have much ellse to say. I hope everyone has a good time tomorrow if you are doing something. I will leave you with the funny fact that cici just woke herself up snoring.

merry Christmas

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 22:12:03 GMT

I know I havn't wrote in here for a while again, but things have been pritty busy. I had my gift exchange with my friends, and the huge family dinner on the 19th. Both were really nice :) and everyone enjoyed them. I exchanged gifts with my gramma and parents and nanny on the 19th, because no one was really in the mood of Christmas this year. My parents took off to Vagus, and my nanny understandabley so is feeling pritty low cuz her son is still missing. Gramma had a bunch of tests done yesterday before her hip surgery, so she was feeling under the weather. To make a long story short, not many people in my family are in the christmas spirit this year.

I'm off to my brothers today for a dinner with him and the kids. I'm actualey kinda looking forward to it. I was a bit worried that I would be doing nothing on christmas eve, but it turns out I'll be doing something after all. Tomorrow I'm off to Bryans parents place for the day to exchange gifts and eat a bunch of food. Both will be amazing. Before I do that though in the morning me and Bryan exchange our gifts.

I dont really have much ellse to say. I made some cookies to take over to Ryans so I need to go and put them on a plate or something to take them over on. I probabley wont update this thing again for a while, that just seems to be the way it's going. I hope everyone has a happy holiday and a good upcomeing year, although I'm sure I'll update SOMETIME.

it's been way to long.....again

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:42:21 GMT

Well, we've pritty much moved in to the new place. Asides from a few things that are at the basment at my parents place, a kitchen table, and a bed for the guest room, (both are located at Bryans parents place) we're done. The past few days have just been spent unpacking and cleaning. We got the internet cable and phone hooked up yesterday through shaw. The fridge stove and dishwasher were also delivered yesterday. Also, haha yesterday was a busy day, we got a quote on insolating the attic. It seemed a bit high being 700 for the lowest grade of insolation and 800 for the other. We're going to shop around for a bit before we decide on a place.

I did a majour grocerie shop yesterday while Bryan was at work. All the dinner options are endliss haha. Lastnight we had crap dinner, chickin cutlits and fudgicles to finish it off. We watched Flash Forward, and the new south park eppisode from Wednesday. When we were done with that, we were about to head to bed when I realized the cat had pissed on my bed. I had to take all the bedding off (that I just put on the day before) and wash it all. I was furious.

2 hours later when that was finished, we headed to bed. This morning I woke up at 7 to the freeking cat meowing her head off infront of the bedroom door. Bryan shut her up, and I guess he ended up getting up at that point. I fell back asleep till prob 9 or so. I got up in time to say bye to Bryan before he left for work. Before he left he told me that Muffin had used the litter box. Lets hope she keeps it up. I took the puppers out and did the norm on that end and then relaxed online for a while.

I was trying to find a few tracks for this xmas event I'm doing at the act. appairintley the band needs them so they can learn to play them....I'm not to impressed. Anyways I searched online until late yesterday and some more this morning. Before going to bed lastnight I e mailed rob and told him I was having a hard time finding backing tracks. This morning I got a e mail back where he informed me they just had to be a mp3 of the song. So then I was on the hunt for Martina McBride – Independence Day and was having a real hard time finding that. Who knew it would be so hard to find one friggin song on the net. This is where I wish I still had aries. Really though for the amount of time I use it it's just not worth it imo.

Anyways I also have to find Silent Night. Then he was like, oh what key do you sing them in? I dont have a friggin clue...I just sing them. All I can say is, I hope there is a rehursal with this band before we are expected to sing this stuff. I putzed around the house some more, opening the blinds and doing a bit of laundry. Now I'm just waiting for Brandon to come over. His mom hasn't seen the place yet, so she's gonna drop him off. I am not to sure what the plan is when he gets here, but I'm sure we'll think of something. Later on tonight we're off to Bryans parents for a b-day party for Jeff and grandpa. Anyways though thats about all I have to say. I'll update some time soon mabey.

update

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 20:38:13 GMT

Seeing as it's been forever, I figured I would come in here and do a update. I dont really have anything to write about. Me and Bryan got the townhouse. We have a appointment at the bank tomorrow to finish up with that. On the 30th we meet up with the loyer for conviancing, and then we take posetion either then, or the 31st. I'm excited to have a place of our own. It will be nice to get out of the environment around here. Everyone is so depressed all the time.

My birthday was on Sunday. It was nice to see everyone. We went out to pasta polos for dinner, and as usual it was epic. I got a amazing pair of slippers from Dale. I've been living in them for the past few days. Bryan got me a really nice sweater. It was one I saw back in the summer on the ferry somewhere. Colleen got me a dragon, some home made cookies, and some breast cancer pins. My parents got us the appliances we need for the new place, as well as a shower kertin with hooks, and some shelve things. Gram ma pitched in with the dishwasher, and got me a gift card for sears. Brandon got me a gift card for the movies, and my uncle got me another gift card for Sears. It was a gritty nice day.

I had a job interview on Monday. It went well, and I am hoping to here back from them either this week or some time next week. I just want to get toataley off of disability. I cant stand it. I have someone looking in to what will happen to it if the government finds out me and Bryan are living together. I still haven't heard back from him though. I sent a e mail last Friday explaining the situation. I guess from now till when I here from him it will be a waiting game.

Anyways I dont have much else to say. I hope everyone is doing good, and I'll update some time again....probably not for a while, as always. I want to keep updating this thing, but there really hasn't been a lot going on. Well, actually there has....but I just cant be bothered to write about it.

it's amazing

update

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 06:06:27 GMT

It's been a while sense I last updated, again, so I figured I would come in here and let everyone know how things are going. Last weekend was pretty nice. Me and Bryan and his family went to Main Island on Saturday to see his grand parents. We went out for lunch at this restaurant place, went to a fall fair thing, and just visited. I took Cici with me (I've been taking her to lots of places lately) and she did really good. It was a long day though. The night before, Friday, we went to see the Time Travelers Wife, and didn't get back to Bryan's parents place till 2 or so. We spent the night there so we wouldn't have to get up so early when it came time to catch the ferry. Regardless though we had to get up at like 6 to make it in time. The day went well though despite the lack of sleep and before we knew it we were back on the main land.

When we got back we were both pretty tired, so we came back here after saying thank you and bye to Bryan's parents. I think it was around 10 30 or so that night when we went to bed. We didn't get much sleep the night before, as I said. The following day, Sunday we went to Coquitlem Center and just browsed around. Then we went to Marble Slab and got some ice cream. The rest of the day was just spent taking it easy.

Today I read a couple Stephen King books and just relaxed. I drove out to Surrey with Bryan so he could pick up some work equipment, and we stopped at Marble Slab again haha. We got home a little while ago. We also stopped at wall mart and picked up a Britta thing and a screen for the tap on the kitchen sink. On the way home we stopped at Star bucks and picked up a tea, a awake tea latay and a french vanilla latay for mom. When we got home we set up the Britta thing, and I'm just relaxing now.

I don't think I'll be up to much for the rest of the night. maybe I'll read another Stephen King book. I don't really feel like playing my game at the moment, because I'm at a point where I need to do some leveling, and I'm just to lazy to bother. Anyways though, thats about it for this update. Oh, I forgot to mention that on Sunday we went to visit gram ma. She's leaving for Montreal on Wednesday for her trip. She's gonna be gone for almost a month *sniff* oh well though, I hope she has a good time.

Update

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 10:23:25 GMT

Well I just thought I would come in and do another update. It's been a while, again, but what else is new. Me and Bryan went to Pendar Island for the weekend on vacation. It was nice just to get away for a while. I took the puppers with me, and she was really good through out the entire trip. We didn't get the opportunitie to do much guide work, but what can you do? The island didn't have any sidewalks and most of the time it was quite crowded with tourists and people, so we just walked around a lot on leash, with her harnis on of course.

I didn't end up buying anything for anyone except for Cici. We were walking through a drugstore type thing and she nosed this dog toy right off the shelf on to the floor. It was so friggin adorable that I just had to get it for her. She loves that thing, last night, she even took it to bed with her! I cant believe how much she loves it....it's really quite funny. We got a opportunity for her to run around on the Island at a school ground field, so I threw her toy around and let her be a dog for a while. She went nuts, and rolled around on her back on the grass. It was so friggin adorable! There is a video up on facebook I think.

It was pretty late when we got home on Sunday. I think it was like 12 or so. I was pretty tired, so after saying hi to mom I went to bed pretty much right away. It was so amazing to sleep in my own bed after sleeping in the craptacular beds in the B&b that I fell asleep pretty much right away. I must have needed the sleep because it wasn't until like 10 Monday morning when I woke up. It was a good thing we came home on Sunday because it was pretty gross outside, it was raining like mad!

So when I woke up yesterday I took the puppers out to do her thing, and then just messed around on the computer. Mom came downstairs and we just relaxed and drank a cup of coffee. I had a shower and washed my hair, and then started to play Aveyond. The build that I'm playing is really complicated, and they don t really have a good walk through out for it. I've started to look for build A, but seeing as it was one of the first versions released, I think it's gonna be a bit difficult to find.

For dinner we ordered chinese food, and then me and dad went for a drive to DQ. It had been a while sense I'd been there and I wasn't really sure what to get. I eventually decided on a banana split, and when we got home I ate that. Then I watched interventions and obsessed until around 12 or so. The episodes were okay, but I just really wasn't in to it tonight for some reason. I think it has to do with the rain outside and stuff.

After that I called Brandon and we talked on the phone for a while. We went on about coladge and life and crap, and it's left me quite emo haha. I just don t really know what I'm going to do for school, still, and the odds of me getting a job are just so blah. It's really depressing so I try not to think on it to much. It just seems whenever I have something I get excited about, people turn the idea down. I remember when I was going to apply for the course as a drug and alcohol councilor, and Triumph told me outright to my face that I didn't have enough life expieriance. I mean how the hell are you supoast to gain the expieriance if they wont let you take the friggin course. Then theres the coordinators who are just to plain out lazy to adapt the friggin course. It's just so friggin frustrating I don t even know where to begin. If I want to have a family eventually, I want to make something of myself first....but at this rate I doubt it's gonna happen.

Anyways after I got off the phone with Brandon I searched blind coladges on line...loll for whatever reason. Of course the only one they had that I could find was in the UK. God knows if I were to take a course there if it would even be valid here in B.C. I just don t really know anymore. I try not to think about it, but then it just feels like I'm avoiding reality and putting it off. It's not something that should be put off....it drives me nuts.. Anyways though I think on that note I'm gonna finish this update. I'm gonna go read a Stephen King book I think. Sorry for the emoness.

Update time

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 20:21:17 GMT

I just thought I would come in here and do a quick update. I've switched back to xp and am in the process of putting everything back on to my computer. I have to say, the thing that takes the longest to transfer is the music folder. Oh well I find xp starts up way quicker then windows 7. I need to install qwitter from there website because when I tried to install it from my drive it kept giving me a error message. Hopefully I can get it working. I think Brandon and Coty might be coming over later today, but I'm not sure. If they do we're gonna order chinese food. Tomorrow me and Bryan leave for our little weekend vacation. I am looking forward to it, I'm sure it'll be nice. Anyways I just wanted to post a quick update on my computer situation. Now I'm curious to see if the spell checker will work with this on windows xp.

just letting everyone know

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:09:28 GMT

that I am switching from windows 7 back to xp. Jaws was running really bad on windows 7 and I just couldn't take it anymore. Currintley Bryan is waiting for nero to download so he can burn the crack on to a cd. I didn't so much mind windows 7, just more so the problems that jaws was having. It wasn't working with word pad, or note pad at all. I read a lot of my books in those, so that was a problem. When useing msn it wouldn't read the main catigories in my contact list. Also when in a chat window it would just read what people said to me as "blank" and when I would backspace a mispelled letter in a word it would just read blank . It's also doing that in the simagic lj cliant, as I am typeing this. When I try to use the spell checker it doesn't read anything either. Thats why my spelling was so craptacular in my last entry, because I wouldn't here anything when I went to backspace a word and attempt to fix it. Anyways I should have xp again on my computer real soon (thank god) I'm really glad I baught the tiney portable drive a few days ago, with Brandons help. I would have like cryed a bunch if I didn't have it at this point. I wouldn't have been able to handle not backing up my stuff. Anyways though thats really all I had to say. I guess I'll update again when I have xp back up and running on this thing. Gawd the reformat process is going to take FOREVER!

I thought I would update

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:14:05 GMT

I just finished installing simagic or however you spell it. I thought I should update my lj because it's been FOREVER. I dont know where I should start off seing as it's been so long sense my last update. Well to begin with, I didn't unfortionatley make it in to the ifactor contest. Charmaine did though, so thats good. I'm glad that someone I knew made it in, I hope everything is going well for her there.

Other then that I've just been camping off and on with my parents. We rented a place at Squakum again for a few weeks. It was nice out there. Bryan even came down for a weekand and a bit. Cici got some time to be a dog and have a good time swimming in the water and stuff. Dad had his birthday out there, that was pritty nice. Me and Bryan got him a GPS for his b-day.

We came home after that and shortley after dads b-day was mom's. I didn't really know what to get her so I made her a padio stone thing.It turned out pritty well and I think she really liked it. Bryan got her a 20 buck timmies gift card and put inside a card for her. That was last Sunday. Bryan's parents came and everyone had a good time. It's nice when his and my families meet up, seing as it doesn't happen that often. Everyone is so busy with there individgual skedguals.

For the past few days I've just been takeing it easy at home. Having this time alone with Bryan has been really nice. One night I just sorta let go of all the past crap...and I think gradgualey I'm starting to let things fall down. We've been a lot more intimit in the past few nights or so. I dont know if it's a phase for me, or if it's because I am just feeling more comfertable with in myself and with in our relationship. I am hopeing for more of the second reason haha.

Today we went for dinner to his parents place, we've actualey seen them a lot latley. We also booked our trip to this Island we're going to on the weekand. I'm looking forward to it. We were thinking of going to Victoria, but it's so freeking expensive, we decided to go somewhere that was a little more cost efficiant instead. Anyways I just wanted to do a quick update seing as it's been forever. I'm curious to see if the spell checker works using simagic.

the rest of yesterday, and today so far

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 18:49:46 GMT

The rest of yesterday was quite nice. Me and Bryan decided to go to the Night Market. I ended up buying some Hello Kitty candy. When we got home It was quite late, and we still hadn’t had dinner. We were both feeling lazy so we decided to whip up some craft dinner. It was quick and easy.

After eating a bowl of that we hung out with mom for a bit. Around 12 she went upstairs. We went to bed pretty quick after that. It was late, and I was cold, so I figured I may as well go to sleep.

This morning I woke up and took Cici out to the bathroom. Then I had a banana brand muffin and checked my e mails. Brandon is going to Coty’s for Chinese food and some sort of house warming party. I wasn’t invited until the last minute. I don’t know if I’m going to go or not. Bryan isn’t up yet so I’ll have to talk to him about it later. Anyways though I don’t have much else to write about, so I guess on that note I’m out of here.

update time

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:36:10 GMT

Seeing as I didn’t update yesterday I figured I’d come in here and update today. Wednesday I ended up going grocery shopping with Bryan. We went across the bridge and checked out that store, but it was nothing to rave about. Then we headed back to super store and did our shopping there. Total cost was $111.00 Not bad at all considering I bought a grill that cost $25.00

When we got home it was around 11 or so. We put away the groceries and then drank our coffee and ate our bagels from Tim Hortons. Then we relaxed for a bit and headed to bed. I think mom came down for a bit also, but I cant remember.

Yesterday I woke up in a good mood, but for some reason it turned in to a crappy one. I made those banana brand muffins I bought and they turned out really well. I made 12 and most of them are already gone. Considering you just added milk and shook them and pored them in to the muffin try though, they worked out pretty well.

After that I stayed up for a bit, but then just got really bored so I went and laid down on the couch. I pretty much just lazed the day around because I just wasn’t in the mood to sit and do nothing in front of the computer. Bryan went out and bought me flowers….haha I guess he wanted to try to make me feel better. It really has nothing to do with him, more so just this college bullshit, and me getting tired of sitting around here all the time.

Anyways when he came back we went across the bridge again and checked out Willow brook mall. It was okay, but it wasn’t that amazing. While I was there I checked out the iphone again for the second time, I even walked away and came back a half hour later to try again for the third time….haha but I just couldn’t get in to it. I tried the placing one finger on the screen and using the other one to select a icon, and while that worked way better, it still didn’t help with typing. I was still trying to go to my lj and I couldn’t ‘t even get past the 3 w’s.

We left the mall pretty quick after I checked out the phone, because there weren’t that many other stores that interested me. We were both feeling a bit hungry so we went to Wendles for dinner. We both had buttered chicken, and I had a hand squeezed lemonade with it. As normal it was amazing! There food always is though.

When we came back home mom came downstairs and we started yelling at one another about college again. What else is new though? Every fucking time that gets brought up we yell at each other. She says I need to get off my pity pot….whatever there really isn’t much to say regarding it.

Before the yelling started we had a bowl of Briers orange creamsickle ice cream, wow it was amazing. I think I have a new favorite ice cream for the summer at least. After the yelling was done, and she told me to help myself, haha, I headed to bed pretty quick.

I wasn’t in the mood to listen or to have Bryan looking at me with this, oh poor her look on his face. As it were when he came to bed he said he was sorry he didn’t say anything. At that point I could have cared less….but really, what could have he said?

Anyways I’ve gave Cici her food and am just sitting here trying to figure out what I’m going to have myself. I’m tempted to have a bowl of cereal with a banana brand muffin. I probably will because not much else appeals to me at the moment. On that note though I’m going to get out of here. I’ll be curious to see what Jess has to say today about the iphone after she checks it out.

I'm spell checking my entrys!

egyptgirl_2@hotmail.com — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:06:04 GMT

This morning I woke up around 10. Last night was hell. I had such a bad headache I couldn’t get to sleep. I tossed and turned forever, and eventually gave in and took some advill. It took forever to work, but when it did I was thankful. Pretty quick after my head stopped pounding I fell asleep.

This morning I woke up at 10 and got up. Bryan got up with me. First thing I did was feed and take Cicirs out. It was all Rainey and gross outside, but in a weird way it was nice to stand out in the rain. Cici wasn’t a fan though, you could tell by how quickly she did her business.

When we came back in I made a pot of coffee when mom was in the shower. After that I checked my e mails and talked online for a bit. Then I got on to paying my bills. There all taken care of and out of the way. It’s a really nice feeling to know that everything’s taken care of. At this rate I’ll be able to get the phone with the knfb mobile reader on it.

I was thinking about what I should do with my life. I know that’s a rather weird way to start off a paragraph….but meh. When watching that obsession show I was thinking, maybe I should just bite the bullet and think about taking courses for some sort of counseling. I know that it would be hard for me to leave the problems at work, but I think it would be a skill that I would learn after time. I don’t really know….but I don’t like sitting here and doing nothing.

I really did want to do the drugs and alcohol counseling, but triumph shot down that idea from the get go, saying I didn’t have enough life experience. I thought that was such a slap in the face, and that’s why I haven’t bothered to call them back. I really should I guess, but I cant think of a valid excuse as to why I have been avoiding them. I guess on that note though I’m out of here.

update of the day

I thought I’d pop in and do a quick update. I know I reviewed the iphone yesterday but that doesn’t really count as a entry. I haven’t been feeling that great today. I woke up out of nowhere this morning from having the weirdest dream. Then I wasn’t able to get back to sleep.

When I got up I felt like I didn’t get enough sleep, and my neck felt all stiff and stuff. I ignored it and went upstairs to sit on the patio with mom for a bit. Eventually I became too hot and moved in to the house. I got bored and went downstairs and read 2 different books.

That killed enough time until dinner rolled around. We had this Sheppard’s pie thing, which was pretty good surprisingly. Then me and Bryan went out to star bucks to get a drink. I still wasn’t feeling good at this point, the headache pretty much stuck around for the entire day.

My logic was that the awake tea latté would help and make me feel better, but it didn’t work that way. Now I just feel worse. I went from being really cold, to really hot, and my stomach feels all bleckey. I don’t really have much else to write about though. I think if this keeps up I’m gonna head to bed soon.

so

I checked out the iphone today. I have to say, it was a total joke. I am ashamed to say that for 5 mins I was thinking about giving up my poor defenseless e71 for that piece of crap. I don’t even know where to begin on how much of a laughing stock that phone is. I guess I'll start when I got the sighted person to turn on the screen reader for me. That was a laugh, but I guess you have to let that point go, cuz once it's on, it's on. Okay, so the screen reader is turned on. You can cut the sensitivity of the phones screen at least in half from this point on. Before the screen reader was on I was watching Bryan glide through documents and multiple pages by simply sliding his finger down the right side of the screen. When the screen reader was on, you can kiss that functionality goodbye. You had to do this weird flick thing, and seeing as the screens sensitivity was drastically cut in half it took the phone forever to detect it. Selecting something was a bitch also. You had to be dead on the icon or object you wanted to select. How is a totally blind person supposed to be dead on a object they cant see? So okay, you've finally found a icon, tap once to select it....it reads you the icon "contacts" tap twice to open that icon, but wait, make sure your finger is in the exact same place, and hasn't moved a millimeter otherwise the phone will go poop on you and you'll have to do it all over again. Not to mention that it wasn't just a light tap you had to like push down on the screen almost for the freaking thing to detect your finger. Okay, so I've talked about the screen being crap to pick things up, and the way you navigate through the phone. Now I'll go on to typing. Typing was such a bitch I don’t even know where to begin. You were given the option to turn the phone sideways to put the keyboard a little bigger, but that was where the benefits ended. You had to double tap every letter in order to type it out. If you made a typing mistake, which everyone will do when using this phone, it's the iphone law, you hit delete...but does it read what your deleting...oh no of course not, it just says delete....makes supa sense. Typing was horrible, and because the screen is so, oh you have to be exactly on the button you want to push, even though you cant see them
that well, it would jump around. Say I wanted to type w. I’d find the w and tap it once, the screen reader would say w. Now I need to tap it twice to enter that w. I’d tap it twice, but move just the slightest bit and now I would be on a, or s. Not to mention that when you tap something twice it reads it twice, and your left wondering, did that w actually get entered in the text field...or have I just been detecting it. Okay, so I've covered typing. Lets move on to the supposed accessible gps that’s not a gps. It's just freaking maps...that’s nothing to omg over at all. So anyways you load up the maps. Bryan actually shut off the screen reader to get to the maps, cuz it was such a bitch to use. Okay so we're in maps, guess we'll turn the screen reader back on. Go back to the maps app, and you tap around on the screen, look, it says map....well gee that’s real insightful...it doesn't help me any though. Oh look, that little line of text at the top of the screen that all the blind people cant see, you tap that and it'll tell you what to do. Makes real sense if you cant see the screen doesn't it....yeah that’s what I thought. After moving on from maps, that I wasn't impressed with at all, we tried out mail. That didn't work at all. When you start it up there’s a screen with like 5 or 6 different mail options, Google, yahoo, etc etc. When you try to click on
one, it just says mail over and over again. Doesn't work at all. So you turn off the screen reader and go back in to the app, and look, it works. It's such a piece of crap I don’t even know where to begin. I was planning on getting the phone cuz of the gps...that I heard was totally accessible....but it wasn't. I mean there wasn't even a freaking gps in the phone!!! After I let that go I said, okay maybe I'll get it for the cool apps....well considering freaking mail doesn't even work I'm not holding my breath about anything important working. If you need to be so precise on clicking on things, bottom line is you need to see, and even with the low vision I have I found it hard to click on things. I think I'm forgetting something....but I cant remember. In conclusion I wouldn't get that phone. Everything slows right down the moment you turn the screen reader on, the screen looses half of it's functionality, and it doesn't even operate the same. I feel ashamed that I was considering leaving my e71. If your that desperate to get a touch screen device get the
nokia 5800 that works with talks. At least you know your using something reliable.

I know I know it's been a while again, but hey, what can you do. Yesterday the i bud thing came in the mail. It didn't quite work. What I'm going to try to do next is get a walit sized magnifyer from the cnib at 4x power and see if that works. I'm not sure if it will, but it's worth a shot. I finalley paid off the brick yesterday also. That was a load off my sholders. When we got back from doing that we took Brandon out to pasta polos for dinner. We were gonna get desurt but we decided not to, when we were done eating we were both so full. On the way home we stopped at starbucks and I got this really grose blueberry tea. I sware it just taisted like watter. When we got home I sprawled out on the couch and read a book. I mustn't have been feeling good cuz I fell asleep pritty quick in to the book. When I realized I had dozed off I got up and went to bed.

This morning I woke up around 9. I guess I just needed one long night of sleep to try to get my skedgual back in order. I hope that was all it took, and tomorrow I can get up at the same time again. Anyways when I woke up I had a bowl of cearial and then a shower. After that I took Cicirs out to the bathroom and then decided to give the i bud thing one more shot. I couldn't even get past the memmory card screen haha. So obviousley it's still the same. I think I'm gonna order this walit sized thingey and see how it works. I mean it's only like 3 bucks, so I cant go wrong.

After doing that I made myself a cup of coffee, and am now just waiting for the lady to call about the couch thing. I hope everything works out and we go to pick it up today. If we get that, then I wont have to worry about getting new furniture for a while. I mean the only reason I was in such a rush to get some is so I could have a hideaway bed for Brandon to stay over. Speaking of, he hasn't came online yet today...I wonder if he's still sleeping....hmm. I guess though on that note I'm gonna go drink my coffee and relax.

it's been a while

Now that I'm back on my big pc I decided to do a text update. The rest of the camping week went really well. The weather held up and it was sunny the intire time. We had a lot of great dinners, some amazing jalato and a lot of laughs. I dont really want to go in to huge detail because that would take way to long haha. Yesterday Bryan broaght his piano here so he's mooving more and more of his stuff in. It looks like the house isn't going anywhere so we'll be staying down here for quite a while...atleast until we can get enough money saved up for a down payment. We watched intervensions and obsessed lastnight and went to bed around 12 or so.

Bryan left for work well school for work this morning around 7. I slept in enjoying my bed to myself for a bit haha. When I woke up I messed around on the computer for a bit and then had a shower. It was so nice to have a shower in my own shower, oh man. After that I've just been waiting for mom and dad to get home. They want to go camping for 3 days. I need to figure out whats going on. If gramma is staying home I am gonna go spend the night at her place, if not I'm gonna go spend the night at Brandons place. Anyways thats all thats new with me. I dont really have much ellse to write about. I'll update later sometime, mabey haha.
