I'll get them back for this...

It appears leaving town is dangerous. The moment you're gone, your friends will gang up on you and force hours of work on your back... You are listening to the new SPL of troop 40. Yay. And when do they decide to tell me? The night before scouts which I was supposed to have something planned for. Yeah, fun. Thankfully, Logan was there to save me and we ended up joining the young women at Mercy Mcmann (sp?). Plus, no active phone tree. Wonderful. Contact all troop without a plan and with only a few hours to organize? Piece of cake.

Oi. Not happy. So if any of you have brilliant ideas for what to do with a troop full of rowdy boys, let me know.

Well, there you have it. I'll add some descriptions and summaries to them tomorrow. I'm tired. Bye everybody!

HP7 has nothing to do with this! (although it is pretty good... ^^)

I like reading. xP

And yes, it was quite unexpected. We had both mentioned we would be out of town, but neither o us had any idea we were going through the same airport. Still, a pleasant surprise to start the week.

Day 3 - Tuesday:

Of course, I had the same thing for breakfast hat I did before, french toast. It was good.

First things first! Fast pass for Space Mountain, then it's off to California adventure! Fast pass for Soaring, then we wait in line for he Grizzly River Run (Grr). Refreshing cool water! Very nice. Then let's see... I don't remember this as well... We went on a little car ride trip, I can' remember what it was called. Then there was the orange bee-hive thing. Then California Screaming! Awesome, guys, awesome. *nods* Uh... Then I think we did Soaring, which was AMAZING. Not a fast roller coaster, but equally entertaining. We can fly! The bee hive and the car thing were okay, the car was a sort of mini roller coaster, while the orange was a little spiny thing that makes you go around in circles. I almost got sick. You shouldn't look at the spinning walls... After that... I know there was more. Maybe I'll just do what rides we went on during the week, not just day to day... I'll do that. But maybe tomorrow, I have to remember what all of them were. I'll have a list of rides and shows we saw and do a brief summary. *runs off to start making notes*

*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*

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. ^^
