October 22nd, 2010 01:31 amOkay, yes, I really should've written before now. I'm lazy, what can I say. I got back from Texas just fine, no problems there minus Newark changing the departure gate five times in addition to a three hour delay. Not fun, but not a huge thing either. I was also able to FINALLY change the rest of what I had in Canadian back to USD at the Houston airport. Got raped on the charges, but still ended up with almost $380. Really, it's just worth it to me to have money I can USE, you know?
☁The vacation was fun- swimming in October is SO surreal, though. My sister dragged us all over hell- beach, aquarium, park, museum, food, a street with a whole bunch of touristy shops, and there was even a last minute Nickelback concert which was awesome, by the way. I'm working on getting pictures pulled together and stuff, so hopefully those should be coming soon (as soon as Kelly retrieves her camera from her boyfriend's where she left it, that is). Probably no Nickelback pics because we were just too far away, though. Oh well. It was still a good time. When Erin was at work, her friend Ian spent time with us... talking and playing with the Wii, especially being SUPER GOOD at Mario (*cough*). Found out I apparently have pretty decent aim on Link's Crossbow Training even though I suck hardcore at first person shooters (and this is actually fun, wee!). Some pretty cool stuff and I got lots of nice goodies, but it was also good to veg out for the rest of my vacation after we got back. Just... a lot of running around everywhere. Including a day where the rain chased us all day and we had to change clothes about four times. Fuuuun. Also had the most disgusting Chinese food of my entire LIFE... note to self, never get Chinese there again. EVER.
☁Not much else going on here. As much as I was out in the sun, I don't have a tan. I'm a teeny bit darker on my forearms, but that's it. *sigh* That's the problem with being as white as I am- I have two color options. Blinding white and lobster red. At least I didn't burn. XDDD I went back to work today too, which, predictably, sucked. I also got roped into switching a shift on Sunday that means waking up at 7am. UGH. In writing news, I have a couple of songs pinging me so hard for fic it's not even funny. I'm trying to decide whether I actually want to write them or not. :/
☁There's also this character I've been thinking about a lot and unintentionally developing. She started out as a genderswapped version of a character, and she's kind of... turning into an actual OC. O_o Because I totally need another neglected OC muse in my head. Pfft.
☁Stef and I are constantly talking about places we MEAN to go, but never actually do it. Example: We've been talking about taking a trip to New York City for YEARS. The most recent thing was Montreal this past summer. However, Stef apparently has it in her head that we're going to Boston for a few days in May, and that we're actually DOING it this time. *coughcough* I won't hold my breath, I don't think. Still... I've never been to Boston. So if we do go, it should be interesting. It appeals to the history geek in me. :3 We'll see what happens.
☁Wouldn't mention this except it's a total "We need to write this on a calendar!" type moment. My mother actually made a positive comment about my hair. THAT WASN'T BACKHANDED. O_O I've been coloring my hair a dark auburn color lately. I still haven't totally decided whether I like the red or not, but that's a whole other thing... my mom told me today that the color looks nice on me. *dies of shock* I think she still hates how short it is, but hell, I'll take it.
☁Because it amuses me... a snippet of conversation from the other day, when we were discussing Dragon Age. Specifically, Alistair, who it seems the general girlgaming population has a thing for. Which I kind of get, but... eh. *shrugs*
Ver: Alistair is totally the fun older brother type to me.
Fei: Yeah but Ver you are like the gayest person
Ashe: lmaaaooo truefax
...am I that obvious? <_<
☁Oh, somewhat related, I totally forgot- I think I got hit on by a cashier in Galveston... a female one. O_o She called me beautiful twice in the time it took her to ring me up for one item (tampons, embarrassingly enough, GOD). Unfortunately I didn't manage to do anything about it besides blush a lot and look around to try to figure out who she was talking to. XD
