Le Sigh
Phew. Finally back from break. I'm running on about four hours of sleep, but I wanted to post anyway. ^-^ I'm going to be all organized and have categories and such, so people can read what they'd like. So, before I pass out on my bed...
Well, I went to Florida. Did what I went to do, and returned. In the course of doing so, there was some good things. Such as, learning the area. It was a slow process, but we can now find our way to most things that we need. Just in time to have left the place. -.-; We also got to go to Sea World which was fun. A lot of walking of course, but I got to pet a dolphin. Feed one too. ^-^ I like sea creatures. And there people there was mostly nice. The workers that is. The visiting people were rather rude in most cases, shoving and the like. I got a pearl too. We got to buy an oyster and crack it open and get the pearl inside. That was fun, if a bit smelly. I got to see the Make-up School of course. It's rather small, but well equipped. And the apartments I looked at are fairly close. Expensive though. x.x I would need a -really- good job. I'm not sure how that one is going to work out.
Other things, other things... Well.. I got to see Lydia. That will have it's own category though. And the restaurant attached to the motel was good. Good food, very good liquor... I think that's mostly it. School = good. Apartments = good but expensive. Sea World = cool. Black Angus Grill thingy = awesome.
Ok. Now the negative... And all those not interested can always skip over the details. Heh.
The heat! x.x It's February and it was 85 on Thursday. Now, before everyone starts smacking me about complaining about good weather... I don't deal well with humid heat. And that's what Florida is. Hot and sticky. If I go down there, I'm going to have to live indoors. Another thing... Florida doesn't know how to label roads. Apparently each road needs at least three different names. And as if that weren't bad enough, they had to close our exit and make us take a detour. Not knowing the area, we got lost. For almost two hours. -Finally- we found our way... and proceeded to get lost the next day when leaving the second apartment complex. Which was after getting lost trying to find the school. Brandy's comments:
I don't like this place.
I'm so confused..
My head hurts.
I hate this state!
I don't wanna be lost anymore...
I'm hungry.
But we did eventually find our way back. After asking for more directions. And we got food as well. On the plus side, the second half of the trip, we didn't get lost. Another negative... Disney. It's evil. And it controls everything. *Low whisper* Everything. There are plushies everywhere. T-shirts, mugs, key chains... If the outskirts are that bad, I don't want to see the inside of the park. Eeeevil.
Overall, I guess the trip was more positive. It really wasn't spectacular. It just had different trees and such, really. Kissimmee looks rather like Maine, but with palm trees. But Lydia lives there, thus it's better. And so, on to...
We arrived late, because of leaving Sea World late, me getting laced into my corset and coming upon an accident where we traveled two miles in ten minutes. But we got there. And got hugs. ^-^ We got a tour, where the theme of the living room, Drunken Africa, was explained. Then we watched the end of Kill Bill 2. I've never seen either movie, so I likely drove her insane with my questions about little details. Brandy used my knee as a pillow and Lydia and I leaned against the headboard.
After the movie, we talked in the living room. All sorts of topics. It was nice. Then we invaded out hostess' bedroom. Where I discovered her insidious plot. The bed eats people. I barely escaped with my life! (It's really hard to sit up in a corset once you've fallen backwards onto a bed) And, I was sat upon. Apparently I was comfortable at least. And my hand was slapped. ;.; I have a bruise on that hand now and even though I think it was there before we even visited, I'm blaming her. Cause it's convenient and sounds good. I also got poked. Without mercy. Every little bit of exposed skin. And I made funny noises. ;.; However, I poked back and the battle was mostly even. Then I discovered that Brandy had tied my boot laced to the chains on my pants. And I was effectively stuck. More so than I was already. I didn't complain though. It was oddly comfortable.
I was saved though. Lydia pulled me up before the bed ate me. And we chatted more and I tried to catch the lighter. Which was no simple task. I didn't catch it, but it did end up down my corset. x.x (Don't ask) Then we got to sit next to each other and that was nice. I got my face poked a bit, but it was nice anyway. Kinda.. affectionate? Maybe? Unfortunately, we had to leave, since we had to pack. Though she was probably glad to be rid of us. Heh. I did discover something though, this morning as we were leaving. You can know someone, such as over the net, and miss them. You miss chatting to them, or the comments you make. But it's nothing compared to missing someone you've physically met.
I thought it was a very nice visit, anyway. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, given the opportunity. Even if I did get called a squirrel. (And had the front of my corset untied. x.x Minx.) I do have one regret about the evening.. But such is life, I suppose. Not much to do for it now.
And finally, my last category, if people are actually reading them anyway...
1. Disney is evil.
2. Florida's highway system SUCKS.
3. Florida is very hot. Even in the supposed winter.
4. The motel we were at sucks too.
5. Palm trees are only novelties for about five minutes.
6. I actually prefer Maine's climate to Florida's.
7. Lydia is insane. But I've found that I can't hate her. Odd.
8. Barn Burners are gooood.
9. You get stared at if you walk around in a kimono.
10. Same applies for a corset. But times about 5.
11. Getting lost isn't fun.
12. Brandy has NO patience when it comes to figuring out location.
13. Budget sucks ass.
14. In Florida, turn signals are optional.
15. If, when turning, you're in the wrong lane, simply speed up, look for the nearest hole you -might- fit through and go for it. No one will even bat an eye.
16. Lydia's bed is at once evil and goood.
17. Brandy was wrong. I didn't end up with a guy in my lap. Lydia did end up in my lap however... Hmm.
18. Apartments are expensive.
19. Blue pearls are the second rarest pearl.
And, finally,
20. Florida is a conundrum. When there, it annoys you easily. But when you go to leave, you don't want to.
So, the trip was beneficial. Talked to people. Came back. The short of it. And now I pass out. Ja, ne.
