California and Christmas

Okay, this is going to be a very long entry. So...BE PREPAAAAAAARED. =P

I have been lazy/busy about writing in this thing. Alright, mostly lazy, but whatever. My trip to California was very fun. The plane ride wasn't that bad, BUT, we did get delayed. Which we expected. Our first plane was supposed to go from Portland, Maine, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but the Philly was too foggy, so the plane couldn't land there. So the plane landed in Rochester, New York instead, and my friend and I were stranded in that airport for literally, 5 HOURS. Then we had to backtrack to Boston, Massachusetts, then finally get on a plane from Boston to Los Angeles, California. I'll take you on a journey through my week. If you're not interested, skip this next part.

Monday - Obviously didn't do anything except go straight to bed. =P
Tuesday - Went to Walmart (how original). Afterward, we pretty much just drove around. Also went on the musical road which is awesome. There are these little bars or something on the road and when you drive over them, it plays music. Also went to the observatory which was pretty neat and got to overlook the whole city at night. It was really pretty. =D Also went to the movies. We saw Rise of the Guardians which was AWESOME. I love that movie. :)
Wednesday - Went to Hollywood. It was pretty much an all day adventure since we got lost a billion times. Also ate at Buffalo Wild Wings which was pretty good.
Thursday - This was our lazy day kind of. Even though we did still drive around, we didn't go anywhere really fantastic. We did go to this great pet shop though. =P
Friday - Went to California Adventure, which is like Disneyland for adults/teenagers. Took us almost all day to actually get there because my sister's GPS kept screwing up. Also was my first night spent in a hotel ever.
Saturday -  Went to Disneyland. Didn't even get to ride on half the rides we wanted to because all the lines for them were an hour wait or longer. We didn't really stay that long either.
Sunday - Went to Hollywood again because the guy that was there knows his way around better than my sister does. Got really close to the sign and took pictures by it. Got to see some famous people's houses. Madonna's old house, Pee Wee Herman's house, Marilyn Manson's house. We actually looked in Marilyn Manson's window like some creeps to see if he was home but he wasn't. HAHA. Also, I LOST MY DAMN CAMERA. :(( After I got pictures of Kat Von D's tattoo shop and everything. UGH. But I might be getting another one for Christmas, hopefully! But it won't have those pictures on it which makes me sad. :(
Monday - Obviously the day we left, so we flew all day. Literally. We left at like noon time and didn't get back in Maine until like 1 or 2 in the morning.

Also, yes I am pretty glad to be home. Even though we came back to TONS OF SNOW. >.<
We're supposed to get like 18 inches or some crap tomorrow. We already have probably like 4 inches maybe? I'm not good at looking out my window and estimating. =P Hopefully my work closes. :)

This part won't be too long because I just went to my sister's for Christmas like I do every year. =P
I had awesome food and then had a nerf gun war with my nieces and their dad. It was so friggin fun it lasted like 2 hours and it would've gone on longer if I hadn't had to leave. =P

So, I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know I did! I'll post some pictures from California too, just to make this entry even longer. =P

View from the plane window. :)

Yup, this is where my sister lives. A desert. =P

The observatory.

My sister and I. I'm on the right. =P

Alright I am done writing now! I have to work at 5 but until then, Doctor Who is on my TV, guess what I'll be doing until work? =P
Bye bye! :3

Daaaaamn

My trip to California is getting closer. Holy crap I'm nervous still. I hope I don't like, freak out on the plane or something. o.O
I mean, I've always wanted to go to California anyway, and now I actually have a reason to, but I just can't wait until this is all over. Even though I'll probably be doing this again eventually. It's stressing me out a lot more than it should. I hope I don't go crazy because I have to be around people for A WEEK STRAIGHT. I know it's my sister, and I haven't seen her in like a year, and I love her and everything, but I just like time to myself too. I'm an introvert. Plus, it's not gonna be just my sister. It's gonna be the friend I'm going with, my sister, and the people she's staying with, which is three more people. I'll probably be glad to come home. At least I finally get a week off from work. =P

I think my animals know I'm leaving them. My cats won't leave me alone, and I was packing clothes in my suitcase last night with one of my cats watching me, and she looks up at me and meows. =(
I'm really sad about leaving my animals honestly. I love them. D:
I'm also worried that something is going to happen to my old dog while I'm gone. She's like 17 years old, and a lot can happen in a week. But I keep trying to tell myself that she'll be fine. I keep trying to tell myself that everything will be fine.

I'm packing a bunch of crap that will hopefully keep me entertained on the plane rides. For example, my laptop (hopefully the planes have wifi), my 3DS, my iPod, a book (or a few books), probably going to pack paper and pencils and stuff in case I want to draw. Taking my camera on the plane too so I can take pictures out the window (hopefully!). It's really hard for me to sit still for long periods of time. I can barely sit through a 2 hour movie, imagine a 6 hour plane ride. o.O
Oh yeah, and it's supposed to be really crappy out the day I leave. Freezing rain and UGH. We'll probably get delayed with our luck. D:

Alright I went back and read some of my entries and realized I never posted about my hair dying mishap.

Well, I went to my friend's house back in March. So we decided to dye our hair a dark red. Well I think hers was a little lighter. But anyway, we bleached our hair, which I had never done before. So instead of dark red, mine came out like...pink-ish. And then it changed to like orange or something. It was pretty bad. I kept it like that until like May and then my cousin took me to get it fixed and I was SO HAPPY I got my dark hair back. I guess, I'll post a damn picture. >.O

Oh look my lip ring too! =P
And my hair isn't that long anymore either. o.o

Alright it's time to end this entry. I'll post again eventually! It might not be until after California but who knows! Bye bye! :3

It's Been Awhile =P

Wow, it's been quite awhile. I'm actually only writing this post because I'm watching House and it's the episode when they treat that blogger. The actress is the same girl who plays Donna in That 70s Show. So yeah, it inspired me to write a new post in my blog, since I haven't in like 8 months. Oops..

Anyway, got some interesting news. I'm going to California on the 10th! As in, 4 days the 10th. I'm so excited, but so nervous. It's my first time being on a plane. I'm going with a friend to visit my sister, and she's going to take us places and show us around and stuff. I'm sure it will fun. She might take us to Hollywood because it's not too far from where she's staying. We're also going to Disneyland on the 14th I think, with her and the people she's staying with. So I guess I'm in for an adventure! I'll be flying out on the 10th and I'll be back home on the 17th.

So I'm pretty sure I have an entry somewhere on here about a hamster that I got in March named Misty. Well, sadly she passed away in October. :( Not sure why, I think she might have been sick because she had been sleeping a lot in the last week before she died. She wasn't very old either I'm pretty sure. Not even a year I don't think. The pet store I got her from never told me, but anyway, I got three other animals after she died. My room can't not have an animal in it, besides my cats. It feels so empty. So, I got three degus. It's the first time I've ever had them, and they're quite a handful but they're so funny to watch sometimes. I'll post a picture at the end of the entry. =P

I'm not sure why, but I've been sleeping a lot lately. Well, I guess no more than I did before, but it feels like more. Ever since the time change, it like screwed me up or something. =P


Well, I guess I don't have anything left to write about so I'm gonna end it here. Here are my degus.

For anyone that doesn't know, a degu is a rodent that's related to the chinchilla and guinea pig. They even have tails! If you grab their tail though, they'll shed it off because that's what they did in the wild. I don't have names for them yet, probably never will. I can't really tell them apart, and yes, they are all female. They're sisters so no babies for me. They all love each other until it comes to food. =P

Well that's it for now! I'll try writing more often. I probably won't while I'm in California though, but I will write all about it when I get back. So, bye bye! :3
