(10:23 a.m.) Ah, the undesputed joy of a laptop.
I'm trping this from well, well over the wholly uninterterestng landscape of West Texas, squeezed in the middle of an American Airlines' passenger sandwich. I love flying, but God, I hate airplane. I am not a fan of being crowded... and in a plane, that's basically the only option you have. >.< Not to metnion this piece of shit is oooold. And hot. >.> I can't wait to land.
So... cleaning. Yeah. That... kinda didn't turn out like I thought. Basically I had a huge screaming breakdown. Hoooh yeah. Not pleasent. I still don't know why it happened, but most of the people I talked to vote "nerves".
The strange thing is I'm not nervous, not really. I think I'll be nervous when I get there. When I'm settled into my dorm. That's when the urge to crawl the walls will hit. >.> Right now I'm too busy too be nervous. I packed four and a half suitcases full of crap. One and a half were clothes, one half was my printer, another is gifts and bath supplies, and then there are assorted odds and ends, like my sheets, my D&D books, and suchlike. And STILL, I did not have enough room ot bring everything I wanted. Like my Al pillow. ;_; I'm gonna miss him.
I might see about getting a storage locker in Flagstaff so I don't have to pack all this shit up again. XD
Anyhow, my mother drove us to the airport, and we shared a tearful goodbye. As much as she abused my babysitting ability, as much as she wasn't the most amazing mother in the world, I love her, and I've never been more than a half hour away from her for any real length of time. I'm going to miss her so much.
My father, on the other hand, has been riding my ass so much I wonder if it's not his intention to make me WANT to get away from him so much I don't miss him. -_- Oh well. I'm probably going to amuse myself with reading or sleeping or something. Ja, everybody. I'll update this when I get a chance. ^_^
(9:49 p.m., ca-razy Arizona time) Well, I'm mostly settled in. ::coughs and nudges a still-full suitcase away with a foot:: ^_^ I jumped on in hopes of seeing Bishoujo and squeeing, but alas, it seems it was not to be. But I'll wait. ^_^ Maube she'll pop on later and the squeeing will abound.
The flight ended up being very, very bumpy. o.o Like the bumpiest plane I've EVER been on. At one point they had to stop serving and I thought we were all gonna die. XD And wouldn't THAT have sucked?
But I survived, and we disembarked in Sky Harbor, a place that has a lot of happy memories for me. I guided my father to a place to eat by remembering were Bishoujo, Quinn, and I stopped when I came to visit. ^_^ We also stopped by and saw my relatives... whish we're going to do again on Saturday. ^-^; Joy.
The ride itself was long but not unpleasent. ^_^ I slept a bit (not nearly as much as I needed) and it seemed not that long at all that we were here. The first thing we did was check into the dorm. The rooms are small, and the bed is more like a prison cot... but it's home sweet home for now. ^__^ I have a roommate, but she isn't here. From what I can see from her clothes and pictures, she looks like the type to either be nice, or a total bitch. XD
The only real problem I have is that it's fucking sweltering. o.o It's freezing outside, and I have the window open... but it's still not cooling down. When I felt a breeze across my ankles, I thought I was going to sob with joy.
Anyhow, after that, we went out to get more odds and ends, and then explored Flagstaff. ^_^ It really is beautiful. We went out to eat at a fancy Italian resturant, and then I came back here to start really setting up my room and internet. I'm on the school's system, which basically means they're monitoring me. XD But...
OMGOMGOMG.
BROADBAND.
IT'S BROADBAND.
SO FUCKING FAST. ::dies of joy::
... and now I think I'll go get a drink, and start really unpacking. ^-^ Ja.
