I'm home! And FINALLY, if I might add.
I'm so happy to be home. Well, actually not so much now since the weather in NY is really crappy and I have school tomorrow, but I WAS really happy. The weather in Florida was gorgeous and it was really relaxing, but I hate being away from NY and my friends and everything. And um, a computer? Yeah, so that was rough. Plus family for like, a week?
I don't even want to talk about half the stuff we did. It was pretty boring at times. We went out to dinner a lot and I ate good stuff. Mostly it was filled with relaxing on the beach in 90 degree weather and family. I got a pina colada and a strawberry daquiri with whip cream 2 of the days which was delish.
2 of the days we were at this random family reunion with family members I literally haven't seen in 10 years of my life. I like met 2 of my second cousins, Kelly [17] and Chelsea [14] and they took me to the mall because we were really bored. It was like all these irish people drinking; I don't even know. So my cousins were really nice. LOL. They took me to get ice cream and drove me around and stuff. I was being really quiet though. It was awkward at one point because they were like, "We're talking so much and you seem so quiet! What do you do?" I was like, "What do I do? Uhh, I like Broadway?" Hahah. I didn't even want to get into that especially with the rap music BLARING through the car windows. LOL.
One night, we went out with the same families but the 2 girls didn't come so it was COMPLETE DEATH. It was like 6 hours in a restaraunt with people over the age of 60. I was crying with boredom. Reilly kept me pretty entertained. Hah. She sang for me! And she kicks ass. Yay.
On the last night, we went out with my parent's/brother's friends. I was really dreading it because I don't really know the people and they have a daughter who's a senior at my school who I heard was a bitch. It ended up being kind of fun though and the girl ended up being really, really nice to me. We went to this random arcade for a while and she like gave me all her tickets to win this stupid stuffed animal in which I named Tidina Diggzel. I know, you love it. =)
We also ate breakfast at some place that had Broadway posters hanging around the room. It was awesome.
Other than that, I basically just left messages on people's cell phones the entire time, took pictures of myself and my brother Brian?, listened to Bway stuff, or just ate. Haha. Oh, and thank you for the emails/messages/etc. Thanks Rei for making a whole entry to update me and I have to thank Kerri for her very entertaining messages that made me very happy. There were times on the trip where I literally wanted to die of boredom or just because my parents were being annoying and her messages made me quite happy. ;)
I didn't feel like making a whole community webshots album just for these pictures [especially since I have SO many albums], so I'm going to just post them under a cut.
Also, on the trip, I got into a huge fight with my parents over meeting people online. They think that half the people I'm meeting are crazy old men who want my sex. Seriously. I was so furious because they know how I met Kerri and Ashley basically online and they're 2 of my best friends now. I calculated up and I realized I've acually met, MET 26 people online [This ISN'T including people I've "MET" but haven't actually "MET" yet] and they've all been really cool and normal people. I'm meeting up with Reilly this week and they think she's going to like, kidnap Cait and I. I don't even know. And my dad's a retired police luitenant and stuff and he does a lot of security [on Law and Order, duh, which I still have yet to go to again!] so he was telling me all these things that he's seen happen to girls my age from meeting people online. Then my dad got so fed up and he told me I surround my life around the computer and these Broadway things/people and why can't I just meet people in person. Like, in school. I seriously flipped out so much. I was so angry. I was like pulling my hair out, literally, from being so angry. I was like, "Dad, maybe if you moved me somewhere where, hmm, 3 people, yes 3 people, enjoyed the same things I do, that would help." I'm forced to meet people online because no one who lives near me or anything loves the same things I do. Plus, all the people I've met online are seriously the nicest people I've ever met. I don't know how I would have gotten through the past year without you guys. I don't think I could live without you all. You make my days so much better and you always know how to make me laugh/smile. I think my dad was just overreacting and he doesn't realize half the stuff I do, but still. I was so furious. But now it's over, and my dad trusts me again, and I don't think he thinks you guys are old men or whatever. Hahaha. My dad is usually pretty good with this stuff too. Ugh.
Random LOL:
Brian: *puts on my sunglasses* Do I look like Idina Menzel now?
*Later*
Me: Who is the girl in this picture Brian?
Brian: Kristin Chenzel. Wait! I mean Idina Menzel!
*Even later at the airport*
Brian: *screaming* COURTNEY! COURTNEY!!!!!!! It's TAYE DIGGS ON A MAGAZINE!!!!!!!
*3 days later LOL*
Brian: My order of meeting famous people is, Ray Mysterio number one, Mike Piazza number 2, and Taye Diggs number 3 because he's in Malibu's Most Wanted which rocks.
Brian: Why are you huffing and puffing?
Mom: I'm not.
Brian: Yes you are! You're blowing my house down.
Court: *whining* I'm hungryyyyyyyyyyy.
Dad: Hey, Idina, quiet down over there.
I don't even know.
Ok, onto pictures.
Hullo Miami Beach.
In Florida. Hi.
First day. Pretty excited, huh? Actually, just pretty bored. [String hanging out of my pants? Hahahahahaha. Oh god.]
Attempted MYSPACE picture. Failed. Bathing suit, WHAT NOW!?
Little brother Brian.
Pool area.
Boredom takes on strange poses. I look odd?
Family affair. Cute, not. [I wish I took pictures with my other cousins. Blahh.]
Bored after dinner.
Cool restaurant.
Hellllo Les Mis. You are a good show.
Nice Edeyina.
View out the window.
We don't want to leave, HA HA, yeah right? I look like crap because my parents kicked me out of the room the SECOND I walked out of the shower. Uy. I look drugged up or something.
What a model.
The neglected picture brother. Haha. Joe.
Airplane. We got delayed 2 hours and we had to sit on the plane for 2 hours waiting for take off. I was SO pissed.
I love how I only took pictures on 1 of the days. I was with my cousins my age, family friends, etc.. and yet I basically only took pictures on the one day I wore that stupid white shirt. Hahaha. I'm really mad I didn't take pictures with my cousins. And I got all these outfits for Florida too that I wore yet I only took pictures on that one day. Grr. I'm stupid.

Last thing, Cait called and we finally got an email back from Shoshana! I was squeeing the entire rest of the trip when she called me. So that was very exciting. 3 musk is back in ack! This is random but my parents want to move to Florida and I told them I couldn't move because I'd miss Shoshana too much and my dad jokes around and goes, "You know, Shoshana isn't really your friend." HAHAHA. I was like, "DAD, COME ON! OF COURSE SHE IS." *laugh*
What the hell, the AP test is in 2 days. That's a joke. Everyone laugh at failing Courtney.
1 more thing. I promise. I really want the PHANTOM DVD AND LITTLE WOMEN OBC. And an IPOD. That is all.
Edit: I'm hysterical right now for no reason. I found a gift certificate from Christmas to Amazon.com and now I have enough money for the POTO DVD, Little Women OBC, AND DRS OBC! Hahaha. *I WIN*
