From Vegas to Anaheim

So. Today is day two of my summer vacation. And I started the day off in Las Vegas and am now ending it off in Anaheim. That's right folks, I am at Disneyland. The reason why, is because my mother thought it would be fun for us girls to not just "sit by the pool" or "see the sights we have already seen". Instead we got a 3 day pass to Disneyland. And I don't really know how I feel about it.

I mean I have just spent the day there and it was fun, but I was honestly looking forward to sleeping in and just chillin like a villain by the pool. plus (and at another time I will write more on my reasoning why) I fucking hate theme parks when they are busy or have long lines. I just don't see the point of waiting in line for 45 minutes to go on a ride for literally 4 minutes. And we went on Pirates of the Caribbean today, and it literally was you looking at puppets singing a song. It was the grown-up version of It's A Small World. Like. WTF. But. I love my mother to death, and I understand where she was thinking. So I will be happy for the next couple of days. And I understand that people are reading this and going "what a spoiled brat" but I'm not. I mean this wasn't what I was expecting. I may not be an organized person, but when I am going on vacation I like to be mentally prepared for what I am getting myself into, for at least 2 weeks in advance. I'm sorta still processing this entire thing.

But to let you know about my trip so far, I got up at 6:00am today, drove to Anaheim (4 hourish drive) then park the car and walked into Disneyland. Then we went on Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Snow White's ride (who knows what the title is), Thunder Mountain, It's a Small World, Indiana Jones, and more. One that I really enjoyed was Space Mountain. It was effing epic. It was like you were a rocket ship and you took off and were flying around space. It s black with small white lighd (the stars). I would definitely have gone on that again. But that was the longest line up. Then we went for dinner at the Blue Bayou in the New Orleans section. And omfg it was expensive. I mean I ordered my meal and was starving and after my soup (all entrees come with a soup or salad) I was full. Honest to God. And then we got bread, and then our meals came out. And I mean it was the one of the few proportionate meals that the states has to offer, but I felt like I couldn't eat it. And it was $34. So want to know what I did? I stuffed my face. I ate the entire thing, and almost threw up because that entire meal cost $34. Times that by 4. For one meal. Holy shit. The waiter who cleared my plate laughed when she grabbed it, because I had literally finished and then looked down at my plate said "who just ate their money's worth", sorta did a hand gesture at my plate in the "like a boss" movement, then sat back. And at that exact moment the waiter came up. Yup. I do that in public.

Weather wise, it was warm for the beginning of the day. And then at like 5/6 it started getting chilly. And I was getting looks because I was in a t-shirt and shorts. It was warm people. There were literally people walking down with full on winter jackets. I kinda wanted to slap them silly for being ridiculous. But currently it is 8:30pm here and I am writing this post in bed. I could just sleep and never wake up. And wil probably fall asleep in under 5 minutes after posting this. It's sad that I have to go to bed by 10 o'clock my time, whereever I go. But it's just a thing of life.

 I miss all my friends back home, whether you are in Lethbridge, Calgary, Yellowknife, or wherever. I shall see you soon. I could never move away from Canada. I would get to homesick from missing my friends. :)

Chelsea: hope Dan isn't pissing you off too much after day one.

P.S. since when is YOLO a thing. It's in songs now. I think the one I heard today was by Drake. Once again thank God I am not a teenager of this age. I couldn't get use to it. YOLO. like. Wtf. Yes you only live once, since when is that new? Let's just live our life stupidly. Wow. This is a ranty entry. So I apologize.

Done Spring 2012

So I am officially done Spring Semester 2012. FINALLY! Now I know recently I have only been doing Tuesday Tunes (and if it wasn't for me making sure that it was tuesday those wouldn't even be posted) and so because the summer is coming up I am hopefully going to be putting up a lot more posts.

Recently I have been looking into this writing competition for my short story that I wrote back in March.  I have had a couple friends read/edit it and they say that I should enter it into a competition. I'm just really nervous.  I mean there are two that I have been looking at, one deadline is May 31, and the other is August 31.  There is also this other short-story competition for just Calgarians that I have been looking into.  It pretty much is write a short story on one of four postcards for the 100th anniversary for the Calgary Stampede.  Once again, I'm in that limbo stage of "do I enter this story, or just not do anything?".  It's frustrating because I keep trying to make excuses, but there really isn't any excuse except for me not wanting to submit it. But secretly I do. Fack.  If I do submit it, I will probably make a post about it...

In other news, this summer I am currently enrolled in two courses. One through the UofL and the other through Athabasca (an online university from Canada).  I am taking "Merging Expressive Art and Animal Assisted Therapy" from May-June. It's a 6 hour class on Monday's only.  It's going to be intense, but I think it could be really interesting...I don't really know how or what I will be graded/marked on, so I'm nervous but I really want to be in this class. The course that I am taking through Athabasca is "Adolescence".  It's a little bit more easy going, due to the fact that I technically have the entire summer to do it, but it kinda freaks me out because I have the entire summer to do it.  Hopefully my friends will kick me in the ass to finish this course.  I am being marked on 5 quizzes (30%), written assignment (30%), and my final exam (40%).  I have to get 50% or higher on my final exam or else I do not pass the course.  So.  Interesting right? I think I'll be okay. Knock-on-wood.

Anyways, it is ridiculously late, and I can't wait to go to bed. So I will hopefully write another entry soon. About stuff I have been promising to write on. Stupid Exams.

Shakespeare is Dead

...Quite literally.  Tuesday of this week, I came home from the weekend and went straight to class, then hung out with Nat until 10 pm. And then when I got home Shakespeare was gone. Dead, dead, gone. It was quite depressing really.  I honestly didn't really know what I was suppose to do. Am I suppose to flush him, or bury him? Yes. It was a frustrating time. But now he is gone, and is probably happy not to be rotting away anymore. At least I hope he's not rotting away in little fish heaven.  That's a morbid thought.

In other news, this week has been.... something. I really don't know what to say, but I was planning on writing a lot more but due to the fact that I am entering exam weeks, that is not going to happen.  After exams, I will write the blogs that I have promised (about my lovely trip to the Calgary Zoo and much more) and I think that I will have a new blog for you all tomorrow to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Titatnic sinking though... But you never know.

In a random fact to end off on. Garth Brooks is coming to play at the 100th Anniversary for the Calgary Stampede. Now to just put this in perspective, we have the Saddledom which seats 16,000 people, and 15,000 tickets went on sale this morning.  Garth Brooks sold out in 58 seconds. 58 SECONDS. Blew my mind. That's just crazy.  A couple of my managers were trying to buy tickets and neither of them got one. So, it's kinda crazy. But now, bed. Cheerio.

April Fools Day 2012

I love April Fools Day. I'm just not bright enough to pull off an amazing prank, and my prank would have to be amazing because there can be no half-ass-ed pranks done. For all you wondering, April Fools Day is over at noon, and if you pull a prank afterwords then it is you who is the fool.  

Once again, Google has done it. They are just lovely with their pranks. Last years Gmail Body Motion was quite funny (in my opinion) and this year, just made me smile. And it makes me really want to play Zelda or Supermario. Here is a little video why:

The World:

They are always unique and some may or may not find it funny, but always entertaining.

As another reminder of last years YouTube prank, they celebrated their 100 years by showing black and videos from their first year.  As just a reminder of how funny it was (or if you missed it) here it is:

This year they made a joke about how you can bring YouTube home through DVD collections. It looked pretty funny, but I can't seem to find the video anymore.  It had step-by-step instructions on how to open boxes, and how to open milk containers on DVD's in video format. If someone does find it, it is worth the watch.

In the UK, a BBC article was released today (until noon when it was taken down) that "The Earth has exploded, killing everyone".  Take a look at the ENTIRE article below:

There was another one that I thought I would mention, simply because my favorite animal is a hippo and I loved the Hungry Hungry Hippo's game as a child. There was a 2012 prank on an Electronic Version of the Hungry Hungry Hippo for the iPad that cost only $29.99. Hope you had a good day of pranking!

And now I am about to watch GAME OF THRONES!
