8: Not as Planned

Alright, remember Thursday how I was supposed to go to the Aquatic Center with my friends? Didn't happen, one couldn't make it, so we moved it to Friday, right? Turns out, I wake up Friday morning with major cramps, a headache, and I couldn't eat anything without feeling sick. I just wasn't in the mood to go swimming, so when Jenna called, I told her I couldn't go, and as far as I know, they still went. >.< Sometimes I wonder if I'm the least loved person in that group of friends...like they said they'd help pay for me to go to Ikau? They didn't, Lene bitched when I told her I didn't have money for her to pick up food for me (sorry, done with Ikasu talk now). Maybe it's just me reading too far into things. They probably didn't want to move it to some other day. But I haven't seen Alexis since school let out, and I haven't seen Jenna since before she left for Taiwan(except through a car window, but that doesn't really count), and I probably won't see them until school starts, and that would be wierd, because Jenna probably isn't used to me being away from everybody(you know, the split that happened halfway through last year). You know, the funny thing is that she left with Trent and I happy as can be, and she comes back with me pissed off at him, and him happy with Karen(the bitch I used to call my best friend).

Okay, and today was my family get-together, that was supposed to be at Kollen Park. But guess what? Rain happened, and we got stuck with my mom's entire side of the family coming over to our small house. Try cramping a growing family into my house, it's crazy. My two aunts, one uncle, seven cousins, cousin's boyfriend, two of my cousin's kids, my grandparents, my parents, and my brother, sister and I, all packed into our small kitchen, living room and garage. F-U-N! Funny thing is that my family prepared mostly mexican food, and we're definately not mexican. Guacomole, salsa, tortilla chips, spicy cheese sauce, etc. Luckily, my dad grilled burgers and hotdogs(in the dry garage of course, after taking the grill to the front), so we weren't living off snack food. And surprisingly, it was alright, great food, fun conversations, and no family feud.

So, now all I have left is my last session for my senior pictures tomorrow, hopefully it doesn't rain, because I'll already be getting wet, we're planning on taking fountain shots, and they want me to get in there -.-; Oh well, what can I do? I have to look cool, right?

I need to clean my room and get rid of the clothes I don't wear, I think I'll do that tomorrow, while the rest of my family is off doing stuff..

7: Lazy Days

I apologize for the long wait for a new post, I've just been sooperdooper lazy since I got back from Ikasucon. A lot of things have happened and I just didn't want to get on the computer and type about it. But now, I shall.

So, let's begin. This year for Ikasucon we took an old RV down for the trip, it wasn't the most pleasant ride, but it was much more comfortable than a cramped car. We played Apples to Apples, and started to make an Anime version of it. It was going fine, until we reached Shipshewana, Indiana. Once we reached Highway 5 in the right turn lane, the RV broke down. We were stuck smack dab in the middle of Amish Country, horse carriages and bicycles everywhere. So, us being in the RV, we were a freakshow. Luckily, we had cellphones(though there were some signal problems), we were able to get ahold of a nearby towing company, and got the RV towed to the nearby town, but we were still stuck in Shipshewana. So we hung out at a BP gas station for 4 hours to wait for a ride from friends(who had to come all the way from home to get us).
By the time we got to the hotel it was after 11 pm, and I was exausted, because I woke up at 6 that morning, and I do not handle heat very well. But my fellow convention goers weren't, so they watched a movie, which I didn't mind really, but after the movie, they wouldn't shut up, so I couldn't sleep. I wake up around 9 the next morning, grumpy, hungry, and dirty feeling, and everyone else is all, "Hurry, we need to register!" I was not in the mood, but I took a quick shower, did my makeup, and tired to do my hair before getting down to the convention center. When we got in line it was around 10:30, it was already long, and not moving. We waited for about 3 hours in that line, and about halfway through, I was starving, so we sent our friends that had pre-regged to get us some food. Yay McDonald's.
~ Overall, the Convention was alright, not the best, but it could've been much worse. I got myself some awesome stuff of awesomeness(magazine, poster, keychain, figurines, action figure, etc.) But after the convention, as you can tell, I've been tired and lazy, I haven't done much at all.

Just a couple days ago I had my first session for my Senior Pictures, it was fun, but slightly annoying, too many difficult and uncomfortable poses, and the constant smiling hurt my face. Sadly, we only got through two outfits and two locations, so we need to have one more session on Sunday, only one more location from what I understand, so maybe I don't need all 4 outfits. Who knows..

Going out with some friends today. Alexis invited me to the Aquatic Center with her, Jenna, Jackson, Peter, and Sky. Hopefully it'll be fun, I haven't hung out with combination of people before without others, and Jenna's been in Taiwan for the last year, and I haven't seen her since she got back, so, it might be alright.

I also have a family get-together on Saturday for my mom's side, I think it'll be quite interesting, since most of us don't get along, but with a new marriage in the family, maybe thing will go smoothly? Bah.

I didn't get any sleep last night for some reason. I went to bed at 11:30, and I woke up to go pee at 3, and I could not get back to sleep. I've been awake for almost 6 hours, and I'm running out of things to do, I just went on an application I haven't used for ages on Facebook, and I really need a real breakfast...maybe some waffles...>.> I think I might also update some things on this blog.

I think I'm actually out of things to talk about...if I missed anything lemme know.

6: Ikasucon

I'm getting ready to leave tomorrow. I just can't wait, I've been looking forward to this since I found out I could go, and the excitement is eating me alive! I thought for sure the next time I would be going would be next year, but thanks to my dad, it's tomorrow! Ok, so the actual convention doesn't start until Friday, but we'll be there tomorrow because my chaperone has a stand this year, and needs to be there early. My dad also bought me snacks for the ride ;-; I love him so much, I'm so glad he remembered that I love Pringles and Slim Jims(even though he bought me the off-brand)! At least he knows what I like, if my mom bought me something, it would probably be barbecue chips and something with rootbeer flavors, yuck >P.

Also hung with Azalea for an hour or so today, to talk about stuffs, and see if I can fit my big butt in her pants. Didn't work, but I did get a belt out of her.
By the way Az, you reading Full Tilt reminded me, I want to name my first son Wesley(I hope you like him better later, cuz I lurv him). And thanks, you got me listening to Sorry Sorry again, and now I have it on repeat. We should totally learn the dance, just to be weird.

Bucking Bronco Dino...I think I can handle that ride. ;D

1: Cleaning

Today was the first time in a very long time that I actually decided to clean my room. Normally, I'm just too lazy to bother, but I thought that if maybe I cleaned my room, my parents wouldn't have anything on me anymore. They don't know that it's clean yet, but just wait until they do, I might even get a smile from my mom! She never seems to smile for anything I do, no matter how hard I try to please her, at least my dad will say "Looks good" but he'll also say "It could be cleaner".

Also! My dad said yes for me going to Ikasucon(the anime convention that I've been attending these past 2 years), before he kept saying "No, I'm not going to pay for it." But he finally caved and said I could go. My friends said that they'd help pay for me, but my dad hates that, and will be giving me money(when he said he wouldn't)... -sigh-

I guess I'm loved?
