Ahoy. I am in New York right now. Umm I think I kinda neglected to mention that in my last entries. My apologies. Anywho, yes I am up by Lake Ontario, visiting mi familia. Mmm... yeah.
I flew up last Thursday w/ my pa. I had to get up at like 330 in the morning to do my hair, and we left at 4 or so. Then we got on an airplane and flew to Chicago. Did you know that Chicago is by Lake Michigan? I didn't. But apparently it is. We had a 15-min layover, then our next flight was rather eventful. My father and I were both craving Starbucks, so we found one in the airport and I got a frappuccino and he got a coffee. It took a long time, though. So we finally get out of Starbucks and we go back to our little.. uhh... boarding area. and everybody is gone, they already got on the airplane and we were the very last people and everyone was waiting for us. So yeah, we sit down w/ our coffee and then we leave Chicago. This is the flight where I discover that I am actually supposed to be wearing that seatbelt. Nobody ever told me I was supposed to wear it until then. But I'm sitting there thinking, what is the point of wearing this seatbelt? I was okay w/o it on the last flight, and I mean... okay, if the plane is going down, isn't it kind of hopeless anyways? How often do you hear "Flight 26 went down over Buffalo, NY but don't worry! Everyone was wearing their seatbelts!!" Noo... Silly. But then my dad said the reason I didn't hear them tell me to put my seatbelt on is b/c I was listening to my CD player and it turns out I wasn't supposed to be doing that until we were up in the sky and they told me I could. So I was like oh. Then he told me I'm supposed to have my cell phone off too. I was like GOLLY now you tell me all these rules?? What if somebody called me and we fell out of the sky? I wouldn't even know b/c I had my headset on and my seatbelt off. Anyways.
So the lady comes by w/ a cart full of drinks to see if we want anything... mmm... those peanuts were really good. But of all beverages, my father has to order TOMATO JUICE. Yes, my father drinks ketchup. I get a coke, b/c I've given up on giving up coke, and we're sitting there sipping away at our beverages... then my father knocks over his tomato juice! ALL over me and my khaki pants. I was like oh, grand. Now everybody's staring at us and we clean up the tomato juice, then I go to the "lavatory" (why don't they just call it a bathroom?) and clean tomato juice off of my pants. I go back to my seat but in the process of sitting down I managed to spill my coke all over the place. So there's coke and tomato juice all over my khaki pants and the airplane, and people are still staring at us. Then this guy looks at me across the aisle and says "It's just one of those days..." or something to that effect. I was like mm yeah. That was my eventful plane ride.
I got to Buffalo, then I changed into my corduroy pants that make me look large. After that me and my pa drove up to Niagara Falls b/c it was only half an hour away, and we went to Canada! I've never been to Canada so that was a new experience. It was really cold. Well I mean it was cold on the american side too, but I'm just saying. Anyways. It was cold. I saw Niagara Falls from the car window b/c we didn't want to get out in the cold and pay 12 dollars for parking. So we drove by then we pulled over, ran up and took a picture of it, then ran back to the car. That was my trip to Canada. The liquor there was cheap.
Oh I'm sick of updating now. I got the new Simple Plan CD yesterday when I went shopping. It's pretty good music, but a little monotonous. And I think the basic theme behind the lyrics is "Welcome to my life, it sucks and the world hates me and I hate the world. Die.", which is somewhat depressing, but that's okay I suppose. Reminds me of Everclear and how all of their songs are about how his father left him when he was a tot. I got a new pair of converses that are just like the ones I have right now except that they're PINK AND BLACK mesh and they are SO pretty. They match my messenger bag exACTly! Neat, eh? Then I went to Hot Topic and I got some pretty shoelaces to go on them, and a wristband that matches as well. Yesh, yesh. Shoooeeesss...
I spend all of my nights here on the phone, but I try real hard to be quiet b/c they go to bed really early. I would feel bad if I woke them up. But if I haven't talked to you yet, you should call me. Call after like 805 b/c that's when my free nights start here, or if you have t-mobile just call whenever, k? CALL ME.
I saw The Polar Express. It was good.
I saw Saw. It was demented. Demented, but good I suppose.
Okay farewell.
I MISS Y'ALL!
Happy Burfday Sarah and Jennifer!!
ASHLEY YOU NEED TO UPDATE B/C YOU TOLD ME YOU WOULD AND YOU HAVEN'T. GAH.

I edit-ed this entry b/c I reread it and noticed I keep saying "so". It's annoying, I wish I would stop doing that.
They talk real funny up here and they say "ya know" all the time, and they think it's funny that I say "fixing to" and "y'all" and "dangit".
