I just gave up on the dial-up at my aunt's house & I was busy doing all kinda fun stuff anyways. To sum up my trip: -Went mattress surfing with the four-wheeler with Sean, Tanner, Tyra, Sydney, Curtis, and my sister. -Went snorkeling + tubing in Rock Spring with Sean, Tanner, Lily, Ryelle, and my sister. -Went to Busch Gardens with my auntie & sister. I rode the Shiekra! It started pouring for about 3 hours so we just left & drove up to Homosassa Springs & stayed in an Econo Lodge. -Went to go swim with the manatees the next day at Homosassa Springs. The baby one followed me back to the boat, he's got the cutest little eyes. -Went to Warped Tour with my auntie & Stef. I saw Kristine and Jordan in the long line to get in. While I was watching Relient K, Eddie texted me and asked who I was watching and how close to the front I was. After they were over, I turned around and Eddie was there. He had driven 450 miles with his sister & her college friends to come down here to see me. Hah! It was the greatest surprise anyone's ever given me. The bands were amazing and I got a picture with Matthew Thiessen from Relient K because I love love love them. Before I left, Eddie asked me out, so now we've been official for four days. I thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Eddie and I would talk on the phone every night and I would have to venture outside and search for signal because it was awful out there. The mosquitos(oes) ate me up, but I didn't care, because talking to Eddie was the highlight of my day. I saw four shooting stars one night. I thought that was pretty special. He kept telling me he had a surprise for me but I supposed it would be when I got back. He told me at Warped Tour he couldn't go another day without seeing me, so he had to come. I'm telling you right now that was the best day of my life. Warped Tour + being with the most amazing guy in the world. WOW! I'm so blessed. Yesterday I went to his house & he showed me a few chords on the guitar. He's a very good teacher and once I get a guitar of my own, I'm going to practice everyday so hopefully one day I'll be as good as he is. Last night he told me something about the scent of my hair drives him crazy. Hahaha. I can't find one flaw with him. And he's also like my best friend. I can do anything with him and have fun, it's awesome. Well I suppose I'll go out and search for some good indie bands. I'm listening to The Format right now. They're pretty awesome; I just discovered them yesterday and I'm already in love with them. Hoorahhh.

My poor auntie & uncle can't get high speed internet out here in the middle of nowhere. But that's okay, because this internet is quicker than the one I have in my bedroom, which is pretty sad because the one I have in my bedroom is DSL. Anyways, obviously I have arrived at my aunt's, four hundred miles and two gas stations later. The drive over here wasn't bad at all, in fact I kind of liked it because my father & I were rocking out to this awesome CD I made him the night before. He tries to act cool and tell me that 3 Doors Down and Foo Fighters are the coolest bands around. So I just made him a CD. But it was really fun, driving on the Interstate with the music blasting. I even put some Dragonforce on there. And he liked it! Hahaha. Now if he only liked Eddie's band... Speaking of Eddie, he did show up last night at around 9:30. I was so happy to see him and get to say goodbye before I left the next day. We just sat in my room and talked, but it was awesome. And he reassured me that I was going to have a lot of fun while I'm down here and not to worry, because I'd see him in a week and a day or two. Judging by the time he was gone for four days, this won't go over too well, but it's okay. Then he had to leave so I walked out to his car with him and he pointed out the stars, they were very prominent last night. There was dew on the hood of his car. He wrote "Natalie is amazing" with a heart. It made me happy. Then he hugged me for an eternity and a half, followed by a deep kiss or two. I tried to make them last as long as possible, but you never know who may be snooping through the window in the front.... I really miss him right now. Oh, and I showed my aunt a picture of him and she thinks he's cute. "Why isn't he your boyfriend yet??" she asks. Because we're taking it extra slow to "build a strong foundation" (Eddie's words). So my aunt's got a whole bunch of stuff planned for my sister and I during the week we are staying here. We are going to Busch Gardens, Sea World, we're swimming with manatees, and of course, Warped Tour!! I'm very very very excited. I'll be sure to get Eddie some cute souvenir, just like he did for me when he went down to Tampa. A cute little stuffed gorilla from Busch Gardens. I brought it with me on this trip. :) I took a few pictures of the sunset today, because I always ask Eddie if he'd seen the sunset. I know he wouldn't be able to see it here. So I took a really great picture with the horses and the dogs. But this slow dial-up prevents me from uploading them to photobucket. Which really sucks. I think I'll call him in about an hour and a half. It's going to be hard talking to him here though, it's either going to be too quiet or too loud. Too loud works better, I hate sneaking on the phone at night. But I do it every night. Hahaha. Okay I'll stop talking about Eddie and head over to the kitchen. My aunt's talking my dad's ear off about the last time we visited, which was Spring Break 2007. Best Spring Break ever.

I finally got to hang out with Liana today, and I haven't hung out with her since before school let out, which is really sad. We had a lot to catch up on and we spent the entire 3 and a half hours she was over either talking about our men or cooking Ramen noodles. Hers were a disaster. Nonetheless, it was great to be able to hang out with her before I left for Orlando. Afterwards, I went to the soccer fields to play a little scrimmage with the boys. Yes, I play with the boys because they really teach me a lot. I can handle them too. I scored about eight goals for my team, each of which I received surprised praise from my fellow teammates. Andres & his 3 brothers were there. They're latino, 'nuff said. Eddie and Nolan were also there. It was a lot of fun. Shirts vs. skins! I played shirts...duh. Then my mother called and asked if Eddie could drive me home. which was a great opportunity. This is the first time she's ever let me drive with him! It was awesome. Like during the ride over to my house he played this really loud music, and just like in The Perks of Being A Wallflower, we felt infinite. We sang along, yet we could not hear our own voices over the voices from the Bose speakers. My favorite one that we sung together was "Last Train Home" by Lostprophets. Him being a drummer, was tapping on the steering wheel, screaming the lyrics with me. It was incredible. It was liberating. It was pure happiness. My parents thanked him for getting me home on time & in one piece. Now he's supposed to be stopping by to say a formal goodbye. I'm leaving for my aunt's house near Orlando for a week. A week is quite a while when you can't see a certain someone. So I'm sitting here, just waiting. I wouldn't mind if he didn't come, 'cause he's done enough already. He's really something.
