Coming home TOMORROW

YAY! I have been waiting all month to come home. I did enjoy myself on this trip... I feel like I kow myself a little better. I guess that's what happenes when you go to a strange place for a month (or forty-something days) and don't have anybody to really hang out with and stuff. I did talk to my friends alot... but it's different. Online communication is never as fun as physical communication. It will be nice to be able to see people again.

I am very sad though, because my two best friends ever are BOTH leaving for the next month DX. Of course they both leave tomorrow before I return too. Life sucks. haha. Marcy is going to have such a great time in Japan though. I'm so jealous : P And Shelly is lucky to go to camp with friends. I will be sending letter to her all Summer XP

To make up for this lack of bestfriend-ness we are going to have to party all school year when they get back. It'll make up for lost time.

Today I had to ship out my bag of rocks and all of my books home... they were too heavy for my luggage... but oh well. They will probably get to my house in about ten days I would guess.

DESTINY

P.S. home sweet home is just around the corner...

THREE DAYS LEFT (ish)

Four if you count today... but I don't count today, because it's pretty much over.

WE went down to Pearl Street for most of the afternoon. It was pretty nice. There were problems nearing the end because you know.. you can only spend so much time with people before you get irritated. Caroline took me to Urban Outfitters and they had a T-Shirt sale on... I ended up buying three new shirts. I also got my MAC picture with my I'm A PC shirt on. ahahaha. It's a bit unclear, but it's still good. I'll post it when I get home.

We also went to Borders and I finally bought my Metric CD (yay!) I am listening to it right now. :3 I was doing some calculations to find out how much I have spent here... and I have spent alot. ahaha. It's crazy! I have also bought a whole bunch of t-shirts... I think there's nine of them. And a dress. So most of the money went towards clothing.... I won't be needing anymore shirts for a while I guess.. ahaha I do need jeans though... I'll be buying those in Kingston I think.

I'm pretty desperate to come home. I miss my family and my dog. I also miss my fish. I also really really miss seeing my friends. I'm still sad about Marcy, Michelle AND Laura B. leaving the day I get home. But I'll be able to hang out with them lots this year after Summer is over... and I am going to send Laura and Michelle tons of letters while they're at camp (in hopes that they get thrown in the lake).

DESTINY

P.S. Fantasies is great :3

Day (s) ~ I lost track and don't care anymore. I have four days left.

I really can't wait to get home. really. I am staring to lose my patience with this place because I feel like I am always bored. I don't really have anything I can do!

We did go to the big mall earlier this week and I bought some nice shirts from Forever 21, my new favorite store. They have one in Toronto so I plan on going sometime. So that was a pretty nice trip. I also bought Final Fantasy 12 but I can't pay it till I get home because it's for PS2 >___<;;

Other than that I haven't done anything. We were going to go to Pearl Street today because I desperately want the new Metric CD, a ring and a new pair of headphones (because mine are dying and soon I won't have any music to drown out everything else anymore either). I'm feeling very complainy today, but I don't complain out loud. I don't hate it here or anything, I'm just on my last nerve and not really enjoying myself like I would be at home. I have a feeling that these last four days are going to be really really really long and really really really boring for me. If I could I would hop on the plane home right now. I want to. Next year I am going to go to camp, a month is way to long to be spending away from people my age. It makes me irritable. GRRRR.

DESTINY

P.S. FOUR DAYS. >____<

Day (s) ~ Twenty-Four to Thrity-One (I think. correct me if I got my numbers wrong)

Thirty-One days.... That's a whole month! I still have another week here in Colorado. The past week was pretty uneventful, but enjoyable. I can't remember much of Monday so I'll skip right to Wednesday. We went to an IMAX at the museum with some friends of Caroline and the girls. it was about the Ocean. I have never been to an IMAX before, so it was all really new to me. I love it. I really want to go to another one sometime :3



Some other point in the week we went to the bookstore and I picked up two new books. For the rest of the week all I really did was read. Ocasionally we go out... but it's mostly just me reading. I finished A Northern Light the other day, it is such a good book. I plan on lending it to a few people when I get back.



OH MAN. big news. We went to he Butterfly Pavillion the other day, AND I HELD A SPIDER! That's right. A big hairy one! It was actually pretty cute :3 I would not have done it if everybody in the room wasn't staring at me and pressuring me to do it. I give in way too easily to peer pressure sometimes.... but I didn't regret it. I was actually considering a tarantula as a pet... but then I decided that I don't need one. ahaha. Rosie was cute though... and I almost never think Spiders are cute. This was a huuuuge step for me. (I got a sticker out of it too!)

I stopped writing this last night... and I was so tired that I forgot to post I guess, so I decided to finish the post now... aha. Last night the girls had some friends over and they speI woke up to four screaming girls this morning and I was pretty much ready to snap, but I didn't because I have good self control. I was up really late last night worrying over a certain friend of mine *ahem* so the screaming was really uncalled for. It makes me miss my little sister a whole lot. These kids almost make her look calm. :3 I have exactly one week left until I get home. I really wish I could come home earlier, I do like it here... but it's also a bit miserable for me with no friends and stuff. I also won't be able to see Marcy for a really long time because she leaves for Japan the day I land in Toronto. We used to spend practically the whole Summer together, and now we can't spend any of it together... unless Skype counts.

We're going to a big mall tomorrow, so maybe that will cheer me up a bit.

DESTINY

P.S. Kettle Corn is so damn good.

Day (s) Fifteen through Twenty-Three ~ Camping

So... the big long camping trip is past us. We were on the road for nine days. We went to four different places. Our first stop was Elk Creek, where we saw the largest body of water in Colorado. We spent two nights there. During our one full day we went out on a boat (and of course it started to rain as soon as we got out there) and it was awesome. I got to drive the boat myself for a bit : D fun times. We decided to be Gilligan's island, and I'm Gilligan... and then we changed it to just random people. Ella became our boat's Glamour Girl, Ivie was our Captain, Pat was just the Driver, Caroline the official Photographer, and I was the Movie Star. It rained alot while we were in Elk Creek, but we still managed to have a very nice time.

On our third day we set off fpor Mesa Verde. The drive to get there is considered the most beautiful, with all the mountains. We went on the Million Dollar Highway, named for it's gorgeous view. They call that area of Colorado the Swiss Alps of North America because the mountains are just all so beautiful there. I think we must have been on the road for at least seven hours. We kept pulling over to take pictures, and at one point it started to hail golfballs. I felt bad for the cyclists out there. We eventually made it to our campsite, set up and relaxed. We stayed in that campground for another two nights. On our full day we went up to the actual Mesa Verde Park where we saw the ancient houses built by the Pueblo into the sides of the cliff. They were HUNDREDS of years old, and it was really cool to learn about how people lived back then. I will have pictures when I get back, and I did send out a couple of Mesa postcards. The site in Mesa we visited was called the Cliff Palace. It was HUGE. Very cool though.

After Mesa Verde we went to Telluride (ToHELLuride). Back in the day, Telluride was the place for all the real badass cowboys to hang out. It was famous for the showdowns and typical cowboy stuff. Most of the buildings have been restored, but there are still a couple that look like what they did 100 years ago. We stayed in Matterhorn just outside of the town for three nights. We got two full days to explore the town and whatnot. I picked up a pretty sweet t-shirt while I was there. I wanted a cowboy hat, but couldn't find any reasonably priced ones. Out of all the places we went to Telluride was probably my favorite. Mesa was interesting and cool and stuff, but I really really likes the town here. At one point we saw a whole line of really nice cars just parked in the middle of the street. The first one was a Firari. ahaha. I think we have some pictures of that too, it was really funny to see all the people stop to gawk at the cars.

Our last stop was in Redstone. Named for all of it's red stones. aha. We stayed in a very nice campground, the Crystal River was right next to it. We went down there to pick up nice rocks and dip our feet in. Pat and the girls actually swam... Caroline and I were happy just having our feet in. On our full day (since we stayed there for two nights) we went to the Glennwood Hotsprings. It was soooo nice. The springs are directly from the mountain. They have a pipe leading all the water to a giant olympic sized swimming pool. For the big pool they pump cold water into it to cool the hot water down a bit, so it's exactly the right body temperature. There was a smaller tub where the really hot water was. It was hard to stay in it for longer than five minutes it was so hot.

And that concludes the camping trip. I am still here for another two weeks :3 Looking foward to whatever exciting thing we do next!

P.S. I do miss home alot though

Day (s) ~ Twelve, Thriteen and Fourteen

Hello y'all. We're leaving for our camping trip soon so this will be my last update for the next ten days or so. There still isn't much to say, but I will be keeping a little log of what happens during the trip, so there will be a nice big long entry or two about how that goes ;)

Again, thank you Carrie for your comments... they always make me smile and feel like I own the world.



Day ~ Twelve

We didn't do much today since it was so hot outside. Caroline took me to a big store called Khol's (or something along those lines) and I ended up buying a brown summer dress. I was unsure about it at first.. but I think once I've worn it for real it will be all good. It was on sale, and none of the other dresses really appealed to me much.

Day ~ Thirteen

We went to the museum in Denver! It was really crowded because there were several groups of kids from various Summer camps... so yeah... lots of screaming. haha. Oh well. I thought that the Egyptian Exhibit was really cool. There were these two mummies on display, one was a poor woman and the other was a rich woman. The poor woman was creepy because she was really poorly wraped so you could see her face kind of. Her teeth were sticking out :S yikes. She was also very twisted looking as far as her body goes. I read the plaque and it said that since she was poor she was mummified with all of her organs left in her. There were also some CAT scans that we could look at to see her bones underneath the thin layer of linen. The Rich woman was in a poor man's coffin... it was possible that the coffin's were swithced a long time ago. She was wealthy because she had several layers of really nice linen wrapped around her. You couldn't see anything of her face, it was so well wrapped. on the plaque it read that her organs were removed, wrapped in linen and then put back into her. The CAT's for her were really interesting too, because you could see the amulets and stuff that were wrapped up with her, and her skeleton almost looked happy compared to the poor woman's.

When we got into the car to head home it was about 107 degre.... that's an oven setting! Now I understand what itfeels like to be cooked alive. It was HOT. And I was wearing pants (why?!). aha. When we got home I didn't bother changing because I just sat outside in the shade with the guitar for a while. I'm slowly learning how to play "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" by Stars. The title sounds a bit... sad but it's a really pretty song.

Day ~ Fourteen

Tomorrow we leave for the big camping trip. I am still in my pyjamas, and probably won't be changing today... we won't be going into town or anything, so it's all good. UNless I decided to take a walk later, then I might change. MAYBE. I put aside all of the tings I am taking on the trip and put all of my other things away in my suitcase so it's not messy down here when the people looking after the cat come. I'm missing the Buskers... which is a first for me. If I am lucky they'll be in Ottawa when I get home, so I can still see them... It will just be a lot more crowded. Oh well. I hope all of my friends are having a good time today :3

Shelly is slowly making her journey to Colorado just as I'm leaving. I think she said she would be here maybe tomorrow. If we're lucky she's going to still be around when I get back from my camping trip so we're going to try and gt together and hang out on Pearl Street. I think that would be really nice... seeing as I'm so deprived of people my age. ah well... maybe just maybe I'll meet someone before I leave. That would be really nice.

DESTINY

P.S. you work that short skirt and that long loooooong jacket ;)

Day (s) ~ Nine, Ten and Eleven

So yet again I have been having problems with getting to the blog... although it seems to be working every couple of days... which is nice. I think it's because Pat probably set some crazy thing up that blocks Google everyonce in a while, because here... Google is the enemy. I still use it though. :P "Google-ing it" is in my opinion easier to say than "Binging it". I would like to mention to Carrie, thank you for your last comment... it made my entire week! I will try to remember and do those things ;)

Now to summarize the days... or something like that.

Day ~ Nine (The Fourth of July!)

I dressed up with the American colours special for this day! We hung out around Pearl Street for a while before going to dinner and the big celebration. It rained like CRAZY. My aunt and uncle were saying how they never have this much rain... and they're blaming it all on me because I'm canadian. Oh well... haha. Anyway, we went to this Latin place for dinner where I had this strange lentil Salad... I wasn't really in the mood for cold salad but everything else had meat in it... I ended up taking the rest of it home and eating it for lunch the next day. After dinner we ewnt down to an open mall, where they had a book store. I went in and asked one of the guys where the manga section was, and he showed me his t-shirt which was an FLCL shirt (I want it). I was like "that's freakin' awesome!" and was inspired to buy volume Two of that wonderful series. The guy at the counter was very nice. We talked about Canada and how the money is different. Instead of the usual weird look he smiled and told me to have a good vacation and that he had nevr been to Canada before. Then the next person in line came so I had to go. But it was a nice chat. Unfourtunately upon leaving the store I laud at by some girls because I had pulled out my mang make sure I bought the right volumes... ;____; Geeky girls are uncommon here... but the boys seem to like it. Now I just have to meet one or two that live around the area so I can hang out with them... not just the nice waiters and employees in book stores... or guys in Dairy Queen. haha.

Anyhoo, we went to the celebration at the huge stadium later. It was really.... cheesey... aha. I didn't know any of the words or actions to any of the songs... but I did make a lot of paper airplanes and threw them out into the stadium. For some reason that's really popular here. I wrote "Greeting from Canada" on all of mine, and they seemed to get around pretty fast. haha. There was also a beach ball going around that random people would just hit, it was great... but not as great doing the wave!!! I looove when large crowds do a good wave. I caught a good video of that, so when I get home I'll put it up :3. After a few hours of cheesey celebration they set off the fireworks. I LOVE fireworks. They were HUGE! I've never seen such a nice fireworks display. It made me feel like my friends should have been there with me. We got home really late that night, so I slept pretty well.

Day ~ Ten

We didn't really do much... I mostly just sat around and read. I finished all the Kenshin books! (YAY). I also got a call from my mum which made me really happy. :3 I miss my family and my friends. So yeah... nothing too exciting happened...

Day ~ Eleven

I had nightmares all night and didn't get a wink of sleep. I was pretty much dead all down and breaking down every time I was alone. I don't know... I guess the homesickness was just intensified by about +10000000 since I was tired and upset. I babysat most of the morning and taught myself to play "Help I'm Alive" by Metric so Baby and I can play it together when I return home. Other than that I didn't do much... :3 I went to bed early too so... yeah. I'm hoping to hear from Baby sometime soon... I just have to get my home number.. aha. I think it's important that I talk to somebody soon before I crack again. It's hard not being able to hang out with people my age... Maybe if I went for another walk I would meet people. Still no sign of that Candice girl : P Ah well. I'm going camping on Friday for about ten days... I might be meeting up with Shelly after the camoing trip, so I wo't be too deprived for too long. :3

Well, I think that's about it for now :3 I hope to hear from my friends and family again soon.

DESTINY

P.S. I'm addicted to Cake

Day (s) ~ Six, Seven and Eight

I have not been able to update in a while because the computer keeps freezing when I go to Internet pages. It isn't bad when I'm using SN or Skype though. It has really been getting on my nerves, but I think I will survive.

Day Six (Canada Day!)

We went to Celestial Seasonings, the big factory where all the tea is made. Is was so cool to see all the machinery and stuff. My favorite part of that tour was the Mint room. It was sooo over powering that every pore in my body just opened up almost instantly and absorbed the crazy minty smell. I ended up having to buy some Peppermint lip balm because I loved the smell so much. My sweater STILL smells like Mint. Unfortunately we went while they were doing Inventory so we didn't get to see the factory in motion. The nice thing about that was that we didn't have to wear hairnets. haha. It was still a very nice visit though. Other than that we didn't do much... it's sometimes nice just to unwind I think. OH! I do believe we went for a swim though... or that may have been the day before, I dunno. Haven't been swimming since.

Day Seven

I don't really remember doing anything too exciting yesterday... I did go for a nice long walk in the rain. I got a little lost, but eventually found my way back home. I get lost so easily... but my pride prevents me from turning back he way I came. haha. I guess I'm a bit silly that way. My directional sense is still worse than ever : P Don't worry though... I always get to my destination... eventually. After I got home we went for a family bike ride. I usually try to get out of those but Pat bribed me with Dairy Queen... for some reason I couldn't resist... He said "It's not like we're holding a gun to your head". Unfortunately sometimes that is what it feels like... ahaha... anyways... we went on our bike ride and I got this huuuuge dip cone. It was dipped in Cherry stuff... I made a loud statement about how we don't have that in Canada... and I got a few weird looks, and I'm sure my long sleeves, pants and Astro Boy buckle weren't helping. On the way back from the Dairy Queen after the ice cream I thought I was going to die... I was panting like a dog, it was horrible! I hit my knees off the pedals when I took off because the bike seat is a little too low for me. Pat said he would change that for next time... (next time??? O___O;;) biking home after ice cream kinda made me feel like I was at Fat Camp or something.

Day Eight (today!)

We went up to this little Cowboy town in the mountains around 8500ft in elevation. It's the town where they have the "Frozen Dead Guy". He's this old guy who is frozen until they find a safe way to unfreeze him and bring him back to life. It's a really big thing there, they have a huuuge "Frozen Dead Guy" festival every year. Too bad I won't be around for that. We had some ice cream while we there and Caroline taught ne how to use the camera that I am borrowing. It's pretty much all manual... sooo much easier than the ones they made us use in class. ahaha. The mountain view was sooo beautiful from where we were. We also saw the rapids from the waterfall. We were planning on going up to the waterfall and sticking our feet in, but it was closed. It's been raining a lot so the water level is unusually high here. We did stop on the way down and stuck our feet in the rapids. It was very cold, but since I already have cold damage in both my feet I didn't really feel much numbness like my uncle and cousins did. Cold damage is bad... but you get used to it.

Well... I think that's pretty much it for now folkals. I'm still scaly like a dragon : P
OH. Tomorrow is the Fourth of July and I am very excited for the celebration. We will be going to this huuuge stadium in the university where there will be performers and fireworks. It will be sooo cool. I will try and get some shots with my borrowed camera if I can :3
I'll upload my pictures once I feel like there are enough. haha... and those other ones I promised a while ago... hmm maybe I'll just do a big entry for photos near the end from start to finish :3

DESTINY

P.S. Still missing my friends... but I will make some new ones soon.

P.P.S. who wants my next letter?

Day Five ~ Missing Kingston

My parents left today... so I guess I really am going to be here for a full month. I really really miss my Kingston friends... I talk to them online when I get the chance to though.
I still don't have any friends here... or at least friends my age...

I am yet again very very tired so I'm going to keep this short.
We didn't really do anything today soo.... yeah. It's getting really really hot... and since it's so dry my skin is really angry... I'm all scaly like a lizard ;___; I need to moisturize. Maybe I'll do that later....

So I guess I'm gonna go to bed or something.

DESTINY

P.S. I'm going to write my first letter tonight :3

Day Four ~ Tired

I would do a nice long detailed report on the day... but I am seriously tired... so to summarize:
we saw a nice view from the mountains, I finally got a new bathing suit (two tops), saw Pearl Street, bought as really really pretty new ring from an awesome store (It's a Goddess ring), watched HSM 3, and now I am getting ready for bed.

I miss my friends a lot. I'm a bit homesick... I hope I get over that soon though. There are a bunch of things that still need taking care of in Kingston... so I hope I can still sort them out when I get back. *sigh* I will only miss you until August.

DESTINY

P.S. Life should be more like High School Musical. Seriously.

Day Three ~ Boulder Colorado

Finally at Pat ans Caroline's!

We had our post-Canada day party with some of the neighbours and kinda got a fell for what it's like. I still haven't met everybody... but the people who I have encountered seem nice. There wasn't anybody my age though... except Pat is planning on setting up a meeting with some girl named Candice... she's an athlete from what I hear, and total opposite from me. Hopefully we get along :3

I really miss being with all my Kingston friends... I miss you guys. aha... only a month... and maybe I will make some friends out here. As far as the boy report goes there are none... and probably won't be... (kinda sad, but at the same time probably good for me). I don't need boys to have a good time... besides... I like the Canada boys better. :3

Gracie, the cat, is so friendly. She's sleeping with me tonight.... although I heard she nips toes and if you don't lock the bathroom door she'll peep on you. haha. A peeping Tom (quite litterally). Lola the dog is also very nice. She is a standard Poodle and absoloutly gorgeous... and her additude is very Ari-like.

The mountain view here is breathtaking and I wish I could bring it back home with me... I can at least take a lot of pictures. I am here for about a month...

the time zone here is about two hours earlier than the one back home, and I still haven't adjusted... I am really really tired right now because of that and should probably head on to bed now. I will probably be able to type better and make more sense after I have had some decent rest...

DESTINY

P.S. I'm under Pat's law now :S

P.P.S. I will be sending letters but there is a slight possiblity that you won't get them until I return ahaha... unless I decided to pay the extra dollar.

Day Three ~ Colorado

We have finally arrived in Colorado!
We just passed the welcome center and took pictures with the Pony Express statue. It isn’t as hot as I thought it would be here… so far… but then again it’s only about 11:11am (did you make a wish?). We should be at Pat and Caroline’s in about three hours. That almost seems like no time at all compared to the 19 hours displayed on the GPS a few days ago.

The road trip is ending just in time I think, because we’re all starting to lose it just a bit… there seems to be a very faint bitterness in the air… once we get some rest it will be nice. I always found traveling to be very tiring… I never imagined spending three full days in a car before would be so exhausting.

I still don’t have a bathing suit, and I don’t think we are going to be stopping again… oh well. I can wait for a little while longer I guess. I don’t really need to swim. I bought sunscreen so I should be fine… Pat and Caroline probably have AC as well.

Everything out here is very… plain you could say. It isn’t flat like in Illinois but there seems to be a lot less houses and stuff. Even if there weren’t that many : P I will post an update at some point tonight if I’m not too tired from the post-Canada day party we’re having. Haha.

DESTINY

P.S. We’re in cowboy country now!

P.P.S the time that this was written was much earlier than it was posted… I had to wait for a while until we encountered another Wi-Fi area. :3
Note : I have noticed quite a few really nice cars out here…

Day Two ~ Motel

We have been on the road for over 12 hours now.
We were going to keep on going but decidced that we had had enough of the car for one day... right now I am writing this from litterally the middle of nowhere. Good internet reception though :)

On our way here we passed "Normal" which made me laugh. I hope we get to see more crazy places like that.

We're leaving at seven tomorrow morning so that we can get to Colorado by about one. *sigh* I STILL need a bathing suit. We did go to Target today 9which was a little dissapointing) but the bathing suit I liked didn't come in my size. We may stop at another one tomorrow, so hopefully that one will have it :3

Now... I did say that I would post pictures, but I am too lazy to upload them... ahahah... and I think that the chord is still in the car. I promise that those pictures will be posted... someday.

DESTINY

P.S. we are way beyond Normal.

Day Two ~ On the Road

We're still on the road... just at a rest stop at the moment. I'm surprised that the wi-fi even works here!

since this morning we've had a long day in the car... the pancake house was awesome! I don't even like pancakes, but it was still pretty nice :3 We just stopped by the "Kum and Go" gas station (lol) I got pictures so I will post them later with yesterday's as well.

I only have about two minutes left, so I will update again later from our next Motel (we have another five hours or something to go before we can stop again : P long day) We should arrive in Colorado some time tomorrow... according to the GPS we have about nine hours or so left. But I don't know if the time zones affect that... I hope not. haha.

update later!

DESTINY

P.S. it's like... 50 billion trillion degrees out here.

Day Two ~ Morning

I just woke up from the most terrifying dream of my life. I dreamt that I was having a party with all of my friends, and we were having such a great time watching the Swan Princess... people were eating Gummi Bears, except for Todd and I... I don't eat them because of the gelotine... I don't know what Todd's reasons were.

Suddenly the people in the movie started to deform into these really grotesque looking zombies, so we looked away from the screen, but couldn't help but see the reflection in a random painting to our right. It was really disgusting! when we looked back towards the screen, eveerybody else in the room was also transforming!

IT WAS THE GUMMI BEARS O____O

They all came at us at once and we had to flee to somewhere safe... my best friends... all trying to kill me because of some Gummi Bear malmanufacturing!

I have never slept so poorly in my life. I plan on sleepinh in the car for about 10 hours : P

We are headed to Sophia's Pancake House now for breakfeast... I hope the dream isn't a reflection on the rest of my day!

DESTINY

P.S. I have this ridiculous eye shaped mark on my arm from the way I slept... maybe I'm the one turing into a grotesque zombie?!

Day One ~ Interstate 69

Hey!
Right now I am posting this from some random motel called the Red Roof Inn. It's somewhere around Chicago if that helps :3
So far the trip has been pretty good... It took me a while to get even one bar of connection from the Pizza Hut across the street though... at leat I got on! Today was pretty smooth. I hasve not gotten sick from travelling in the car yet, so all is well!
We stopped at Big Boy for lunch... I swear... everything on their menu is very very fatty... haha. And mostly non-vegetarian. I guess right now you could say that I am a vegetarian in a meat eater's territory?

I do have pictures from today but I probably won't be able to post them for a while. Oh well. They will be up soon. I got some interesting ones with Big Boy himself.

Last night we spent the night in Brantford. It was quite nice :3 I really love being able to visit Leslie and Scott. And Audrey and Izzy are starting to get so big! I wish I had gotten some pictures with them because they are just sooo cute! I got to go to the volunteer appreciation at Audrey's school with Dee Dee. It was so cute! :3 there was this one little girl who sang for the parents, and she was suprisingly amazing! Makes me sad that I never went into the singing stuff when I was little... haha. oh dear, I miss Archie ;___;

Bob says that we have about 17 or so hours to go until we actually get to Colorado.... *sigh* I have a lot of entertaiunment though. I watched all six episodes of FLCL in the car the other day, and I have loads of music... I was also smart and brought a portable charger so I don't have to turn the computer on every single time. It is very convienent!

haha we were travelling on the Interstate 69 all day. It made me laugh a little because I am immature about those things... and it made me think of Baby. (I love you!)

Also, while we were passing through Michigan I couldn't help but think of Georaphy class last year with Bear... (I love you too!)

Anyhoo, I mis you all to pieces. I shall try to update again tomorrow night!

P.S The mirrors in the bathrooms they have at the border are freaking SWEET!

Day Zero ~ Packing

Tomorrow I set our for my big long Summer trip to Colorado (Colour + Red). I have been looking forward to this since the Winter break! I should have probably stayed home to pack the rest of my stuff and do laundry... but I had to go to school XP

I am going to be packing pretty light... so I guess it isn't too bad. My suitcase is HUUUUGE! It's nice because I am bringing a bunch of random other things... like the Four GIANT volumes of Kenshin that Will lent me (thank you!), and my video camera and stuff. I got a new iPod special for this trip too. It has 30GB of space on it, which is nice because my old one only had about 4.

I have about one hundred envelopes with me, so friends : expect a letter or two! I plan on writing at least one every other day or something like that. I may never even get around to it... who knows... but I really would like to! :D

Tomorrow we will be heading out for Brantford and spending the night with my aunt and uncle. It's Friday that we will actually be heading out for Colorado. It's pretty intense... I will be trapped in a car for two or three days! Damn am I ever looking forward to THAT. I will have to have some Gravol at the ready so that I don't get sick all over the place. We do have a bunch of games and movies and stuff so I guess it won't be terrible.... It's just gross how we won't be showering really until we get there (ew)... and it is really really really hot (ew again).

I hope I get to meet some awesome people around my age while I am there. I want to make some friends that I can hang out with. :3 My aunt and uncle still have a pretty cool place though. There's a pool with a hot tub attached to it, and stuff like that. I might even get to work on my barista skills while I'm there with their fancy espresso machine! oooh lucky me! aha.

This is only Day Zero because I am still in the midst of packing and trying to get movies on my iPod (Loveless).

until next time,

DESTINY

P.S. i love you!

I am going to miss my pretties.... ;_____;
