In Florida, yo.

A Holiday Inn in Jacksonville, to be exact.

(I hate the keyboard on my dad's laptop. Keep making typos. >:c)

Yesterday was not fun.

First of all, mom dragged us for almost 5 hours round an outlet mall, and we bought shoes and clothing and suitcases (xD) and stuff. Also, I ate Subway.

That wasn't that bad considering I had my almighty iPod and all I basically had to do for 5 hours was follow my mom and hold stuff. And not whine. (That was harder.)

But yeah, we stayed longer than my dad thought we would, so it was pretty much dark by the time we got back on the freeway and went to the first hotel of the trip. (Some golf resort place.) We followed the GPS's directions to the hotel, but ended up on some abandoned road with the surrounding area full of one-story trailer-like houses that looked really old and terrible and cheap. So naturally, we were like WTF and drove around, trying to find this so-called "hotel" but there wasn't a main building or a front lobby or anything in the area, and it was dark and cloudy and creepy and generally one of those places where it would seem like the lights in the windows would flicker on and off by themselves and you'd run over a dead body or something. Kinda reminded me of those CSI Miami episodes where people walk around in the dark and be ambushed and their bodies are randomly found by the CSI people the next day. Then, having thought of that, I was like "Oh shiiiiit, what if this was like, some kind of trap that a gang of serial killers or something made up and they lure POOR UNSUSPECTING TOURISTS to this CREEPY ABANDONED TRAILER PLACE and murder them and arrrghhhhhh"

While I was sitting in the backseat thinking of trailers and serial killers and dead bodies, my parents were trying to figure out what the heck was going on, and then my dad remembered that he had the hotel's phone number. So we called them and some nice dude gave us directions to go back on the freeway and take a different exit, and then we just followed the signs from there and ended up at the RIGHT hotel that actually looked like a hotel and not some creepy horror movie.

Apparently we weren't the first ones to screw up the location, since something about the postal code and there was a warning on the website (which my dad CONVENIENTLY FORGOT TO LOOK AT) about GPS's failing and all that. But either way, I got four gigantic poofy pillows all to myself in the hotel bed, so it's okay. :D

Today, nothing much happened. Drove for practially all day (mom made a point in having me count the states we drove through) (it's six, by the way: West Virginia, Virginia, North & South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida) and we almost got lost when some traffic accident sealed off the freeway, but then we stalked a FedEx truck that was going in the same direction so it's all good.

Tonight for dinner, I ate at this fast food place called Krystal, which CLEARLY we don't have in Canada. And I'm kinda glad, because it's pretty pointless. Basically they serve a bunch of tiny burgers instead of one large one (I got four; apparently that's the "default" meal, sorta like Big Mac for Mcdonalds or Whopper for Burger King). It tasted okay, but it was all mushy and half-melted, which was kind of gross but also kind of delicious at the same time.

Free internet at the hotel, yes. But dad said the hotel we're staying at tomorrow in Orlando (we're driving more ARGHH) you have to pay for the internet, so I don't think I'm going to be able to blog again in a long time (the internet on the cruise ship - nearly wrote shit there FAIL TYPING SKILLS - costs money too).

Tomorrow we're going to Kennedy Space Centre, and Friday is WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER YESSSS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Sandy, I will try to bring you back a non-edible souvenir, only because I don't think food will survive the week-and-a-half trip in a stuffy car back to Canada.

Hiatusssss

Leaving tomorrow. O:

Blog reached 300 posts three posts ago. Forgot to acknowledge that.

The festival on the forum is also beginning tomorrow, which is the frickin' day I leave.

I think this timing is trolling me. Fosrs. .____.;;;

Well anyway, here's to hoping I don't drown and get eaten by a shark and that my timetable for Gr. 10 isn't screwed up!~ Kanpai! 8)

Ah dang.

(I'm trying to heed to Fanderson's request about not swearing as much. It sounds weird, but it'll have to do. :P)

A day and a half, and then two weeks, and then school.

Do not want do not want do not want ffffffffuuuuuuu

And to top off all this suck, I'm leaving right when the OMGAWESOMESPARKLY festival on the forum starts. And right after my (other, non-lady-looking dude) character got a Castform. CASTFORM. ADORABLE EASY-TO-DRAW TRANSFORMING-CLOUD-BALLY-THING CASTFORM OMG WANT TO ROLEPLAY WORST TIMING EVER TO TAKE A VACATION WITHOUT INTERNET Y/Y/Y/Y/Y WHYYYYYYYY

May or may not quit whining when I come back (no cheap internet on the cruise so no blogging/RP for two weeks D<) depending on how good the actual cruise/vacation/Harry Potter theme park thingy is, but right now this suck timing is the suckiest suck that ever sucked ever. :c

... And snorkling too. Last time Rachel went snorkling, she nearly drowned in the salt water and nearly got eaten by a shark had to be pulled out by staff people. >> (Okay fine I was like ten, maybe younger, BUT STILL.)

Do not want do not want do not want ffffffffuuuuuuu someone save me I want my roleplaying back

It's official.

Rachel cannot draw guys. Always end up giving them girl hips by mistake. >>

Mom retching in the toilet in the background. Beginning to think that our family has serious health problems. Cue "Oh Crap" from me.

LOL TV Tropes.

"If long hair equals shaggy werewolf, does that mean if one of them goes bald, we have a hairless werewolf?"

"Indeed, Meyer werewolf are as different from regular werewolves as Meyer vampires are from regular vampire."

"Except she even said that they weren't werewolves. The Volturi had seen real werewolves; the "spirit wolves" are something different. This troper actually started a fanfic where they met another such tribe with a different spirit animal."

"I've never read these books, but the werewolves are Native American, right? I've read that Native Americans tend to be very resistant to baldness, so that issue probably doesn't come up much."

"By this logic, having your hair in a mohawk means your werewolf form would have hair like a poodle. Werepoodle!"

"I get the picture in my head of a werespinosaurus."

"That would be the best thing ever."

Whyyyyyyyy.

Why is it that whenever I try to sing Break Your Heart by ear, I always end up in a lower key than the actual song? Usually I'm good at this. >:(

In other news, I'm leaving on Tuesday (just when semifinals start WTF IS THIS) and I need to go out and buy six cheese buns today. But I'm lazyyyy and I don't want to walk all the way to Sobeys to buy cheese buns even though they're delicious and really cheap and a good way to keep my mom from yelling at me about not eating. :c

... Are there actually people in real life named "Wednesday?" Seems like an odd name to give even a roleplaying character (IT'S OKAY ROBYN WE LOVE YOU ANYWAY) but if that's actually someone's name in real life... wow. :O

... But then again, I'm the one who names my pokeymans things like "Nom." Consciously. As is "om nom nom."

Hehe. 8)

Vacation?

We leave in exactly a week.

Where has my summer gone? :( :( :(

Well, I know the answer to that question. Ahem.

- Roleplaying.
- Roleplaying.
- Roleplaying.
- Eating.
- Roleplaying.
- Sims.
- Roleplaying.
- Singing practice. (And failing.)
- Neopets. xD
- Did I mention roleplaying?

Today, I discovered that I, in fact, do get attached to my characters. If I make references to Pokeymans or my dude-who-looks-like-a-lady or this place when I get back to school, it's my roleplaying obsession taking over. (And yes, that was some shameless advertising right there.)

There are currently 14 guests lurking the forum. Uhm.

Stupid Sarah McLachlan and Taylor Swift. I hate the vocal ranges you sing at, the both of you. >:(

Bad timing.

I was talking to Ash and Ito and Jan today, and Ash randomly asked "Oh, where's everybody from?" because we had nothing else to talk about. Turns out Ash is from England and Ito and Jan are Americans (guess where I'm from, no really, guess) and that sparked a conversation about tourism and how England is apparently boring save for some castles and stuff (ASH SAID IT NOT ME OKAY) and apparently she's amazed by the fact that America's McDonalds are twice the size of England's. o_O

Yeah.

So anyway, Ash said, "I visited Florida once, and me and my dad almost got shot," and then I was all, "... Yeah, thanks dude, I'm going there next week. o_e;;;" But she laughed and said that it was years ago and they probably just didn't like her dad for some reason. o_O

We're so awesome. 8)

Geh he he. (Part Two.)

"As soon as the “pretty girl” spoke, Jericho realized something here was off. The girl’s voice didn’t sound like a girl’s voice at all. But the hair, the skin, the… okay, the chest was a little flat."

Doh ho ho. My plan is working perfectly so far. >xD

(^ LOL did I just invent a smiley? 8D)

Geh he he.

I named my (Asian half-Chinese half-Japanese DON'T JUDGE ME OKAY) roleplaying character's dad after that famous Chinese poet Li Bai dude, only because I couldn't think of any original Chinese names and Li Bai sounds normal enough. I don't think anyone noticed. xD

I'm good.

Yesterday, I recorded myself singing that Sarah McLachlan song "Angel." While I was hungry. Note to self, Rach - don't sing when you're hungry. It's painful and it makes you miss a lot more notes than usual. :c (No, you're not allowed to hear it.)

Back to roleplaying (sorry guys). Speaking of my Asian character dude, I use a picture of Fujisaki Nagihiko as his playby (read: to represent his physical appearance), because I felt like playing a dude who looks like a girl and have everyone call him out on it. (It's working, by the way. xD) But he's so used to it that he just goes like, "So? I have long hair and look like a girl, minus the boobs. Your point? -deadpan-" whenever it happens. Except a more polite version because he is a nice kid. xD

Yeahhh, I have a feeling that sane people are going to throw bricks at me sometime soon, so I shall stop here.
