(Erm I'm posting this now since my sister didn't post it like she was sopposed to so enjoy peoples ^.^)
Mages experience at the West Coast Paradigm BBQ, written at 7:49 am on Sunday July 11, 2004:
Well I was notably the last to arrive and the hardest to get to leave this party. I got there I got to meet everyone, to see the farm, to yell at my fathers dog not to kill the chickens, to see my fathers surprised look at the fact that the place wasn’t crawling with teenagers, and I got the the greatest shock of all Tony’s voice. Yes I don’t know what I thought his voice would sound like but it was weird to hear it since I wasn’t even close

I would have to say Pyg and Act put on a wonderful party and though I did really crowd in front of the web cam much, but stayed outside and talked. Should I tell about how I was the hardest to get to leave now? Or should I go back to sleep like I so to do?
Okay so my father makes me leave around eight when we head inside since it’s getting dark outside. After yelling at my sister for being extremely annoying and rude in order to get me to leave I left the house and get in the car we get a little ways down that road and my father asks me if I would like to drive back once we get to Newport for the night. Automatic yes of course. We get to the Hotel along the winding road that is Highway 20, and check in my father hands me the key to the room and I head on my way. I ask him if he also thinks I should call ahead but he says no they will keep talking till well past when you have to head back here. So I say okay and go driving off. For an ounce of back ground information before I joined paradigm I went on a bike tour from Seattle to San Francisco last summer. And my directions for getting on Highway 20 was that it was a straight shot.
Lets just say that once you go twenty miles and realize that you are still driving on the coast line and reminiscing about riding that section of high that you did soo not drive on yet this summer at all. I pulled over and got out the road map of Oregon and I’m looking trough it and sure enough there is definitely a turn off and it is so not a straight shot. Sp I drive back to Newport, Evans Megamixs playing in the background mentally scolding my self as I go. I get on the right road and I’m going along I’m beginning to relax a little again the music is all soft and quiet. And suddenly the Big O theme starts playing and I jump scarred. (I think that the effect he was going for but I could be wrong). Now beyond this you would thing there would be nothing to tell, but have you ever driven along cliffs in your father’s car with one contact in? Just think driving with one eye closed since that’s how bad my vision is. I do make it back to the farm and with some time to spare and guess what Tony, Baby Ghia, Mordra (sp), and anyone else in that car whose name I missed. You guys weren’t there! : glare: A little disheartened I still knock on the door and say hello we watch Future Boy Conan and I go back to New Port taking out Evans mix and putting in the iguanas which actually wasn’t the improvement I was looking for I should have played Rubber Soul instead. But anyways, I saw three people pulled over by the cops on my way back to Newport for the night. Haha take that cops get the good people that have their licenses with them at that moment ^.^ Since my father was actually being serious when he said he wouldn’t bail me out of jail of I got pulled over. Okay enough with the stories,,, No more bad attempts at humor from Mage.
I did though make it back to the room before driving curfew for people my age here in Oregon which is 11:30. And I didn’t get to sleep until possibly one since I still had all this energy from drinking so many sodas during the day. (Random thought it’s so weird wearing a watch I never have and all my summer camps want me to but it’s just weird.) I could give my impression of the people individually but everyone was just so cool, that I won’t since it’s weird reading about yourself. Sooo Uh… Sorry I can read the above posts yet since I won’t be able to get at my computer till summer camp lay over on Friday and Saturday if I’m lucky >< Catch ya alls then ^.^
