*cue theme music*

For starters, the person that I met was an online friend of mine, who was, in fact, a thirteen year old girl who actually had a nine year old brother, instead of a crazy sixty year old bald guy. Yeah, they were heading to a connecting flight on their way to visit their dad. Yeah, I recognized the first names on the boarding passes after overhearing them talking. What can I say? I thought it was a funny coincidence. I speak up. They act surprised. I act surprised. We talk briefly. We have planes to get on. We say bye. End of story. Well, you know, of that encounter. Small world, no?

Day 2 - Monday:
Wake up bright and early! *record stops* Okay, maybe not so early. 7:30-8:00 Get ready. Is Adam still asleep? Well, he didn't get that much sleep before his flight...

Off to breakfast. Well, we had these breakfast vouchers for the restaurant in the hotel and it. was. awesome. Rather nicely decorated, good food, and lots of food. Kept us fed until dinner.

Okay, so we go to Disneyland. What do we do first? Um... Fast pass for Indiana Jones and took a Jungle Tour/Cruise thing. Fun, excellent way to start the day. You don't get that wet.

Next was Pirates of the Caribbean. Very fun! Lets you know though that rides there will drop. Never being on a roller coaster before, this was a good warm up.

Indiana Jones. Fun, bumpy, very entertaining, but we were glad we did the fast passes.

Another fast pass. Splash mountain! But first haunted Mansion, Canoe Ride, and I believe Thunder Mountain as well.

From the top. Haunted mansion proofed a delightful little ride that goes through several scenes of the movie. Not the scary fast stuff that comes later.

The Canoe ride was nice. This girl behind me kept splashing me with their paddle, though. Not exactly accustomed to rowing. So yeah, I got wet. Big surprise.

Thunder Mountain was great! Got right into the spirit of speed without doing anything questionable. The next step of the ladder.

Finally, Splash Mountain. Pleasant boat ride, screaming drops. What more could you ask for?

After this, my memory gets sketchy.

We did Buzz Lightyear that day, (more explained later) I think. Pinocchio's Daring adventure, (It was one of the younger audience rides) The Matterhorn, (at night maybe? Pretty fun) Honey I shrunk the audience, (movie) Autopia, (interesting random room, lots of activities) Space mountain? (definately at night, very fun) I think that's it. So back to BL. (Buzz Lightyear for people who don't like anagrams) Ride/video game. Interested? It was awesome! It was strange, though. Excellent score first round. Only got lower from there. So here we are. First 160,000-ish. Next 50,000ish. Then 30,ooo. You get it. It was sad.

So that's it for now, I'll do more later. ^^ Look forward to day three! It was great. Bye!

Fame has it's setbacks...

First off, to a very devoted, if not a little guilty feeling, reader, thank you, but you really needn't have gone through the long hassle of going through 51 different rants of insanity. Thoughtful, very much so, but a little unnecessary. I mean, what do I write that would change in 51 blog posts? It's the same old stuff isn't it? But thanks, it really means a lot that a person would go through the strenuous labor of pursuing the vast void that is my literary world. ^^ And to all my other readers, you are not forgotten, believe me it would be hard to forget you. I have a feeling some may be addicted. I vanish for a week and the day of my return brings the pressure to write. My brain needs sleep. We never went to bed earlier than midnight last week. Can you write after going through such conditions? Not immediately.

So, to explore my absence, as I have told you, I spent last week with my cousin and two aunts. Disneyland trip.

Day 1 - Sunday
Drive to the airport proves nerve testing. Would I be lost in an airport for the rest of my life? My first solo flight journey seemed a daunting feat. (In this clever cover life, that is)
I checked in my luggage with my mom, got the gate number and set off...

Security seemed less than scary once I reached the line that meant that the inspection began. Was there a bomb hidden in the carry on of the old lady in front of me? The uniformed specialists settled the case. Safe air travel at last!

I did happen to meet a person there that I did not expect, but I will not go further into that business.

On the airplane: Delightful child in the row in front of me passes the time by playing several games of peek-a-boo with another passenger and myself.

Landing in Orange County is uneventful. It was not difficult to locate my three relatives and together we set off to collect our luggage.

After a short wait, the luggage was found, the rental car was ready, and we were off. First order of business: Where are we? Quickly finding all needed destinations, we set off for church.

But lo and behold! It was young single adult ward! Imagine the shock, the fright, the humiliation. The wordless stares of those that passed us. What were these people doing there? Only they knew...

All and all, it was a good sacrament meeting. Enjoyable, once the others had confirmed that we were indeed just visiting because it was the only ward that could accommodate our flight plans.

Next, food. A random drive takes us to a real Mexican restaurant where the waitresses don't speak english. Were we abashed? No. We stayed, and in the end, it was a rather interesting experience.

Definitely a day to take one out of their comfort zone, I would conclude. For the second day of this tale will have for tomorrow. Until then, my friends, I depart.

My last blog post...

For a while, at least. By the way, 3 ounce containers are cool. The requirement that you can't bring more than that, not so cool. I keep forgetting what to pack. I'm very excited, but I don't know what to pack. It seems to be the story of my life. It's just so complicated! And I can't remember where I put the shampoo... I had this nice little bottle of it, now I can't find it. You'd think I'd learn to keep track of things.

*rummages through clothes* Nope, not there. I'll try the Strawberry Method and see if that helps.
*scurries off*

Okay, I'm back! Um, still no luck... I'll keep looking. Why do people always take me seriously? I mean, sure, I'm a serious person, but I can still make a joke, can't I? They always think I feel hated just because someone called me a weed! It is a joke, people. A comical devise meant to bring entertainment and relieve boredom. Okay? Everyone happy now? I go now.




Hey! I found the shampoo!

Tumbleweed.

Yes, I do know what a tumbleweed is, thank you very much. The comment concerning weeds was a joke, here implying that my mother thinks of me as a weed. Kay?

There, it has been said. I am done.

*walks off*

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

I've always wanting to hear my own mother call me a weed...

I know I said hello to Anna first, but is that any reason to call your own flesh and blood a weed??? Maybe I said hello to Anna first because she said hello to me first... *cries*

Over it. Okay, yes, all three were completes, as planned, now I shall conquer the rest!!!

I don't know what to say... I forgot something earlier, but now I forgot again...

Ooh! We built a gateway! A beautiful gateway! We got 4th place in the entire camp! That's because we had rope! I like rope! Lashing not so much, but ropes and knots, yes. *nods*

Um... We weren't as clean this time. We didn't get a clean campsite award this time. But Jared earned the spirit of Ishi out of our troop. He was excited. *nods*

What else did I forget? Justin is cool. He's quiet sometimes, but he's cool. He's a good singer, artist, origami specialist, who knows all what else... You never really know a guy... He's awesome!

Anywho... WHAT DID I FORGET? I must remember. I must. It's required.

I'm not sure if any of you noticed this, but when Count Olaf grabbed Klaus, he used a perfect chin and neck support hold. You use that when your saving someone with a spinal injury. DOn't dive into shallow water!

The end. ^^

HI ANNA!!!! And mom... and Joe... and you know, the rest of civilization...

I am back! Sugar high! Sugar high! Sugar high! Strawberries! *finds strawberries*

Boy, have I got a story to tell you!

Alrighty, from the beginning.

12:01 A.M. Monday morning...
Arrival at church building in preparation of departure...

"On the road again, I can't wait to get back on the road again."

Three hour drive, middle of the night, no sleep. WE PARTIED ALL NIGHT LONG!

Comedy stations, rock, and any loud thing we could find.

7:00 A.M. Monday morning.

Get up everybody! It's time to get ready. Breakfast, and off to Merit badge classes!

Wilderness survival... First aid, everybody!

Free period... Get ready! Swim check.

Lunch. Good food!

Lifesaving. Get in there and save lives! I don't care how cold the water is! (nickname for class: Professor Pale)

Ah, Sparklers! A time to relax!

Dinner. Food!

Campfire, he he he. Little bunny FuFu- WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!

Fast forward...

Okay, so the rest of the week was fun, we totally ROCKED on Tuesday. Skill Circle in the evening. LOVED IT! Especially the daisy chain competition. I. Love. ROPE! Knots, anything you can think of. It's awesome! Also, Troop 40 stayed the latest and partied the hardest at the auction afterwards. CHICKEN DANCE! So fun.

Um... what's next... Oh, yes, as I said before, I took Wilderness Survival and Lifesaving, but also Radio on Thursday. So it was nice. I had some relaxing time, and still got to work on a few good Merit Badges. Lifesaving was fun! Even though the water was cold. Very cold.

So, yeah... that was good. Um... I'm not sure what else to say... It was good. I had a good time. I'm glad it's over. There. That about sums it up. ^^

I go now, maybe I think of something later. Maybe I don't. I keep you guessing. *grin*

I'm glad you enjoyed yourself

Sounds like you had a pretty exciting 4th. Did you have a good time? I can see where some parts of that could be less than fun, but over all, it sounds like you had an entertaining holiday.

Um, what was I going to say? What do I ever say? Oh, Scout camp is coming up. We're leaving at 12:01 Monday morning. See? We're not breaking the Sabbath! Yes, that will be fun... And I might be having some open time slots this time. I'm taking Wilderness Survival and Lifesaving, maybe Camping if the times are right, and perhaps an open class. Maybe. But I should have a little spare time. Which is good. I'll probably have Merit Badge homework...

Okay. That is that. Um, I'm not sure if I want to swim 100 yards and then another 400 yards in one day. Better than in one hour, but it still seems tiring. Oh well, Merit Badges are supposed to be tough, right?

Bye!

4th of July

Um, so yeah. For the 4th of July, we helped out with the pancake breakfast, then went home, and um... stayed home... and it was nice. So, that's what we did. And two days ago, I went to the dentist. Everything is good. Mostly. Andrew has to go bad sometime because a tooth chipped. Yeah, not so fun. And um... That's it. Aren't you glad you came here? Well you shouldn't because you spent five minutes doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, I'm going now. There's nothing interesting here. Nothing. Are you even listening to me? NOTHING. *walks off*

I like blue pens

They are nice and happy, and they don't hold grudges when you forget where the cap is. *nods* They make me happy. Red pens are okay, but I don't really like yellow as much. I can't see what I'm writing half the time. Blue is good though.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT! *sobs* There was a... car wash, and um... it was good. But what else is there to write about? Without seminary, I am lost. Scout camp is coming up *groan*. And so is the trip to Disneyland with my cousin and two aunts, so that should be fun. It'll definitely be a busy month... Just have to remember not to bring my pack to any hikes. Then I should be okay.

Nothing. Else. To say.

THE END.

He, he, he, I like messing with COLORS and SIZE. Okay, I'm done. Bye!
