Fishing, it's lots of fun. There are downsides; not catching any fish, not being able to cast with a real rod and real, having a chapped face from zooming across the water with the cold air beating your fat cheeks. It is my belief that the upsides far out weigh the downsides. The thrill of the hunt, the excitement of getting your line caught in a tree, and on a good day the joy of actually hooking a fish.

I have grown up fishing. My Grandma lives on a small lake and from an early age I have been casting my line into the lake and catching perch or bass. One time when I was six I caught and eight lbs bass. It was pretty awesome. This past summer I learned a new kind of fishing. I learned how to jug fish. It is amazing. You get a bunch of bottles or sealed pvc pipe, tie a hook, and bait. Then you throw it into the lake, watch it float, and when a fish gets hooked you chase it down and pick it up.

This weekend, I learned a new way to fish. I am not sure how to spell it but it is called trolling. You get some poles, bait them, drop them in the water, let it trail behind the boat. You drive the boat at a slow rate and wait for a fish to get hooked and real it in. If the fish are biting this can be a very productive way to catch them because you can have as many lines in as you have poles.

Unfortunately, the fish were not biting this morning because it was very foggy. We did catch six fish and I was able to reel in two of them. I really did like fishing even though we didn't get much. It was very relaxing and I look forward to doing it again.

SO, It is official, I am an adult and as an adult it is time for me to buy a home. I am tired of throwing money away every month to live in a cheap some what run down apartment. It is time to make a change and have my own home. I need a plan of action. I don't have a plan of action. I don't have any idea where to start. I guess I will make an appointment to talk to an agent or something. This is the house I want to live in. It has a cool master bathroom. I figure that isn't the most important thing in a house but it is the only thing that I am sure I want. Problem is that my salary will never pay for this house. I guess I will have to start looking for a rich man to marry. I am so not above marrying a man so I can have the perfect bathroom.

So I have a myspace but I never write on it because I can't access it from my job and I am never on my computer at home. I have decided that I really want to be a blogger so I am going to try blogging here and see what happens.

I started this blog by posting some pictures of halloween costumes and I now feel like giving and explanation of the pictures. They are the costumes that my cousin and our friend made for halloween this year. My cousin and I had known for a long time that we wanted to be the good witch and bad witch from the Wizard of Oz, so on friday night we decided to start making them. The plan was to finish them by Saturday so we could go to a costume contest. We had a few challenges like the fact that we only had one sewing machine, we had never made a costume, could barely read a pattern, and we also decided that our friend should join in our festivities and be Dorthy. It was a long night that turned into an early morning and then another late evening. But as you can see, we were successful in the costume making. Unfortunately, we were not successful at the contest and did not win anything. But I am already thinking about what I should be for next year. Any ideas?

In and out of focus.
