Thanks Robert Mrr23!! As some of you may know, I have had serious "ignition" problems with the car over the past few days... so I decided to go to Robert with his HPTuners program to see if we could identify the misfire.
Thanks to Robert (MRR23), I found out it was the Bank 2 sensor 1 O2 sensor that was out. That meant that the car thought it was extremely lean, so the car was throwing WAAAAYYY too much fuel at the right side cylinders, causing the spark to burn out, which caused the misfire.
So, again, THANKS ROBERT!!!

It was actually quite funny....
The O2 sensor was burned out, but what was really causing the misfire was a spark plug with NO gap. As it turns out, my mom was handing me spark plugs to put into the car, and she dropped one and didn't tell me. When I regapped it, the engine ran flawlessly.
Next time.... I'll be checking ALL of the gaps before putting them in
