Riding the highs, digging the lows.
Back from vacation and so freaking wiped out! I think I slept 10 hours last night, which is more than I got for the whole week COMBINED! There's just something about hotels... I can't sleep well in them. And the whole vacation was go-go-go, so you can see why I was pretty spent by the end. Anyhoo...
Highlights include:
* Rain. Every damn day. This wasn't so much of a highlight as it was a pain in the soaking wet ass. Interesting fact about Nicole: She hates rain. If Nicole were a superhero, rain would be her arch enemy. Spending the day in wet pants is just not on what she considers a good time. Oh, that sounded bad...
* The rain stopping in time for the New Years countdown, so that we could stand on Disneyland Main Street to watch the fireworks without being cold AND wet. Yay!
* Having 2 rides break down while we were on them. The first being the coaster California Screamin' and the second being It's A Small World, in a boat behind a bunch of nuns. Enless loop of children singing = my own private hell.
* A conversation that went something like this:
Me: What the heck is THAT?!
Kristen: It's called porn, Nicole.
Me: Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
* Paying for wireless 'net access at the hotel in which we stayed - but then said wireless internet only worked ONE night.
* Driving to the Stardust Hotel down the street in our pajamas circa midnight to use their FREE wireless internet in the parkinglot [see above]. You'd think we could go more than one day without checking email, but no. CLearly we have priorities. :p
* Mr Incredible letting me feel his bicep and more.
* Visiting Biff's Pleasure Paradise stairs.
* Rocking out in the car and singing at the top of our lungs to various songs.
* Hanging out after dark at the train tracks from BTTF 3 in Oxnard.
* Kristen smelling urine, and then realizing it was her own. :-O
* Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf!!! Every day!
* Discovering, while we were on it and with a bit of shock, that the new Mummy ride at Universal wasn't some lame ass old lady ride as we were expecting, but in actuality a kick ass 'coaster.
* BTTF ride. 'Nuff said.
* Talking about naked bongo drum playing on the way home.
* Watching the biography of Walt Disney and learning that Nazi supermen are our superiors. XO
* Going on a wild goose chase to find Seth's house.
Lowlights:
• I missed the Gauntlet 2 on Monday. Gauntlet 2 might be the best/worst thing ever for me. Oh, how I love that show. Yeah, know its a sick obsession and I dont care, frankly. I cant wait to find out what happened - did anyone reading this happen to watch it, and if so can you fill me in?? cllort? Wait a second, maybe i'm revealing something dark and terrible about myself here... Is this the best thing going in my life right now? The anticipation of another MTV reality show episode? What the hell is wrong with me? Twenty-two minutes of pleasure every 7 days, thats my highlight. I'm a mess! :p
Well. I think that's the long and short of it. Pictures later, if anyone cares.
