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.
