Disneyland and then some
I know it has taken me a few days to update about Disneyland, but I had so much other things to deal with. I wanted to spend as much time with my sister as I could, since I will not be seeing her for awhile. We had a blast! She definitely makes road trips more fun...:)
God, I wish she could live near me. I told Dan how jealous I am of him, that his sister lives so close. Of course he hates her guts, and I told him I would give up so much to have Jen here. I would live with being this overweight and unhappy with my body, if I could see her everyday. Well, not everyday, but more often than once or twice a year! :( But, I am ok now. I was really weepy and sad last night, but Dan helped me through it. I am also sad because Dan leaves tonight for San Fran and won't be home until monday. The only good thing about this weekend, is that I will be making a ton of money, and will be too busy to think of him...so it's good he is going somewhere so he is not upset he doesn't get to see me all weekend. I know he misses his friends who live there, so I'm happy he will get to see them. Of course, I am very lonely and sad. We haven't really been apart since we started dating. Oh well. I have things to keep me busy.
He was so nervous all day about flying. He's not really a huge fan. And he has been all "lovey dovey" today (which usually I am like, "Back off creepy!" :) but today I was thinking how much it will suck to not cuddle, kiss or you know, in the next 4 days. :(
But on to a different topic. I just got "Sly Cooper 3" and it is such an awesome video game! I am excited! :) There are newer things to do in this one that I couldn't do in the one before, so it's very entertaining. The only bad thing is, they changed some of the character's voices. That pisses me off. It's like when movies make sequels and have different people playing the characters. LAME. Oh well. It doesn't take away from the game, I just get all pissy about it...haha...
OMG on the way to the airport, there was this super slow car in front of us and it had a license plate reading "ampy". We were like "WTF does that mean?" and I said, "HAHA, 'Ampy', more like 'Grampy'" and Dan almost peed his pants, he was laughing so hard. God that was funny.
You know what is really cool about my sister? She gets along so well with Dan, more so than any of my other SOs; well except Justin, but they shared a birthday and she's known him for like 5 years, so obviously they had more time to get close. But in the short time she has known Dan, she seems to like him and it makes me so happy to hear them chatting like old friends...so happy...:)
But of course, the only reason you are ready this is to hear about Disneyland! :)
Well, it rocked my ass off! We were only there for about 6 hours, but the lines were (for the most part) so short we got on all the rides we wanted to go on really quick. I took so many pictures of all the 50th anniversary special stuff-they have photo collages all over the park, of different disney characters. They are made up of guests' photos that they sent in. I have three pictures in three different collages, (and I kind of remembered which ones!) but I could not for the life of me find them. OH well. I took pictures of the collages (all the ones we saw) anyway. We went on TMR towards the end of the night (sadly it was only open until 8pm) and they let us ride twice in a row. WOOP! I was so sore by the end of the day. You know you are getting old when Disneyland rides take it out of you. HAHA.
Jen got me a snacky (chicken nuggets and french fries-it was a kid's meal) when we first got to the park, because I hadn't eaten since 6am that day, and I drank an energy drink for the drive to LA and my tummy was SO queasy. I also spent the whole trip singing songs to myself because my radio is busted. Much fun. At one point, I think the energy drink took over my brain, because I thought I had a blood clot, and it was traveling up to my head to kill me. Well, whatever keeps me occupied, right? :)
I was singing mostly Disney songs, especially "Lion King" ones, since I am way into "Lion King" and I hope Larry gets me free tickets. He is Scar you know, he can just kill someone for tickets...hahah! :) Oh and I just found out, that his best friend in the show plays Zazu and I was like, "Scar is BEST FRIENDS with Zazu??? Riiiiight," and Larry was cracking up, "OMG, that is so funny!" but he said it all "gay-like"...haha...
So back to Disneyland. Jen was all uber mad when we went to Space Mountain, because they were closed when we got there. She's all, "I've waited 5 years to ride it! AUGH!!!" and she said some other choice words I won't repeat...heehee...yea she was there I think last year or a year and a half ago, and it was closed then for remodeling, and so she has really been looking forward to it. We finally got on closer to the end of the day. I love it. They totally changed the ride. The track is different, the entrance and exit, even where you wait in line! The loading area is the same, but they put in a "window" so you can see outer space. Very cool. Even the music is different. Jen says it's the same, but I have my inside sources and they say it changed. SO NEENER NEENER JEN!!! :)
The Haunted Mansion was transformed into "The Nightmare Before Christmas" Mansion, so they were mixing Halloween with Christmas. Very cool. The dude that let us into our "Black Christmas Sleigh" (instead of the "Doom Buggy" which is what it's called in the regular mansion) was VERY creepy, and stared at us a moment before leaving. I was teasing Jen, "OOOOH, he LIKES you!!!"....hahahaha! But yea, it had all the characters from the movie, and even the beginning story part of the ride was changed. It was definitely worth going on. WOOP! :) The end was funny. They have mirrors where a "ghost" is in your lap, but this time you got a "present": something rotten and mean of course, from Oogie Boogie himself. Jen and I got some dynamite. How sweet. The people behind us got 2 Gingerbread people, with their heads chewed off, and missing pieces. SO SAD! :) I got excited when we were walking to the mansion, and I tripped on my own feet and ended up skinning my knee. That was embarrassing. HAHA. :)
HAHA. They had a new fireworks show too, with a ridiculous amount of fireworks, and flames shooting out of the castle. They also put giant light pictures on the side of the Matterhorn. The pictures corresponded with the music they were playing, which was the theme to ALL the rides. SO COOL. So there was a skull and crossbones for "Pirates" and I'm not sure of the others. It was so fun. Then at the end, there was a woman dressed as Tinkerbell flying over our heads. How freaking scary would that be...wow...she has guts...:)
After the fireworks, we walked over by "It's a Small World" where they had the snow! YEA SNOW!!! It was only soap, but it looked awesome...:) I have all these pictures of snow, with the christmas lights in the background. Very nice. Christmas Carols were playing too.
So all in all we had an excellent time. I told Dan we HAVE to go back next Christmas time so he can experience it.
After we left the park, we went shopping for presents. I bought Dan a beer mug with the pirates logo on it, me two pairs of earrings (little fake diamonds, and mickey shaped ones) and also a Stitch shot glass. Jen bought something for her friends (I can't tell you what it is, because they read my journal! :)
Then we went to the Disney store in Downtown Disney and looked around (Jen bought something) then we were off to eat! YEA! I was starving. We went to Coco's and she treated me to a yummy dinner. Thank you Jen!
That is all for now. I have to go pick up a key from a client's house in about 10 minutes. I am not looking forward to going anywhere. I just want to stay here...oh well. I will be back soon enough.
Have a good night all.
