Posting Since I Haven't in a While
Long delayed... Here is Spain in a nutshell:
My senora was freaking insane. I got really sick and she got mad at me for being sick saying that it was because I didn't like her food. I didn't like her food. True. I guess she assumed that I can make liquids shoot out of every hole in my body at will and pull doctor's notes out of my ass along with it.
My room mate was a bit of a whore and an alcoholic. She was up past curfew getting drunk and cheating on her boyfriend back home who 'won't feel hurt because he'll never know' with a bunch of guys. She woke me up every single night between 3am and 5 am, so when we went to Toledo, I bought weapons. I told her that if she woke me up again, then I would be forced to kill her. She started coming in quietly, but leaving the door open, which made the senora mad... at me... because Im totally responsible for everything Kayla does, including getting her up for school on time even though my class was much later than hers.
So, I hated my room mate and the woman I had to live with, so what did I do? I made friends with the only few people I could... a gamer with some serious personal problems, a Spanish teacher to be who didnt want to teach anymore and two people who were heart set on converting me to Christianity. Aside from the conversion attempts, I really liked those two. So we all went to Madrid and Barcelona. Of course when my room mate found out we were going to the beach, she decided to book a flight and bring her friends which caused all kinds of problems... Like staying 5 hours at the beach and we didn't get to see the sights of Barcelona other than the Sagrada Familia (which was absolutely gorgeous and strange). We saw Beauty and the Beast in Spanish too. That was awesome. At Madrid, we hit the museums. The art museum that the queen founded was awesome. It was like a haunted house in museum form with creepy little ball men stationed everywhere and positioned into scenes. I went to the gardens, which were amazing, like 5 times. I also went to the huge cathedral in Segovia and stayed for the service. I went to like 10 different churches, went to the Alcazar, which was awesome, especially with the light show that made it look like people were climbing the side of it and falling off.
I saw a dance festival where people from Spain, Africa and Latin America performed. Everything other than my room mate and my senora was amazing! I want to go back and stay there on my own without the psycho bitches. There is still so much I want to see! I want to go to Granada and see more of the Arab architecture there. I want to watch more movies in Spanish at the theater. It was awesome living in a world where I dont need a car. I just need a good pair of walking shoes or a few cents for the bus. I was walking around on the streets alone and I wasnt scared at all. Even in Madrid, the capital, I felt safe. Barcelona was the only place that I was afraid to go out alone at.
So yeah... I was miserable with my senora and room mate, but I loved it. I would like to go back again.
In other news, I graduated from college. I had a birthday which was one of the best... Partially because I didn't try to organize a get together so I didnt have the miserable night at home crying cause no one showed up like I normally have. Quetzalcoatl got really sick, but I nursed him back to health and he's fine again. Alex and I are talking about engagement. I think if he loses a little weight and keeps his facial hair in check and remembers to buy DIET V8 Splash Berry Blend for me when he goes grocery shopping then he'll be well on his way to a heartfelt "Sure, Ill marry you. Why not?" ^.^ He needs to get good grades this semester too. No pressure or anything.
Anyway, Deb died while I was in Spain and Michelle killed herself, so I had been pretty torn up about that. I leaned on Zack mostly because he was the only one willing to drive to my house or hang out with me other than Alex. Then he got fired for being a moron and deflating my tires twice on company time and being caught by the manager. Moron. Moron. Moron. So Zack isnt at work with me anymore and my dad doesn't want me to talk to him since he believes he should have been arrested. Alright. Sure dad. I keep a lot of good friends in my back pocket. Ill just whip a new one out. -.- (Could have been a penis joke... Aw well...)
So right now, its going pretty well. Saving up. Moving out is looking to be around August or so.
Have a nice day!
