I'm baaa-aaack
Yes. I am home! Yay, I really missed my home. God, this is gonna be a loooooong update.
First of all, it's 1:20 a.m. and I am really tired so I probably will leave stuff out. Sorry, fellow friends, if I bore you, but I wanna remember this trip. Not that it was *that* fun. Just for keeps sake. I think. Wait, gotta go get the little notebook where I put what we *kinda* did everyday.. Or at least what I remember of it.
Damn, can't find the stupid notebook. I just *had* to be nice and loan it to my sister on the train. Poor, lonely notebook. She probably forgot it on the train and now it's all alone.. Gotta look a little more though.
No, the notebook wasn't lonely, he even had a friendly other notebook beside him. God, I'm weird, the frickin' notebook was in my sister's suitcase, okay? Yes, 1:35 now.
Ahh, yes, now I am floating back in time to the plane ride. It was good, they even showed a movie, not that I watched it (Ocean's Twelve) but that made the plane pretty quiet. No screaming babies. I listened to my music and read "Jewels" .. It took me I think about 2 days to finish it and it was about 400 pretty big pages. I'll come back to the subject of reading later. So, the plane ride went really fast, and suddenly "Welcome To Greece" after a very, very, very traumatizing landing. I was scared. Very windy and bumpy on the way down. Not fun at all. After that, I was in a pretty bad mood. I felt yucky. I have this problem, where I wash my hair every day, because otherwise it will look greasy. But, that's not the problem. It only looks greasy in MY eyes, nobody else sees it.. I'm paranoid. It's my mom's fault though. No idea why. Haha, getting a little off track. Yes, so, bad moody Danni (who was at that time of the month). Not fun to be around. I'm scary. My poor family. They were all cheerful. But I wasn't. I thought the hotel was crappy, the beach was crappy, pretty much everything was crappy. I was whiny, dieing of hunger. (It was at around 10 o'clock at night) . So I ordered a tuna-sandwich from the bar... Healthy? Not! Stupid!! Uggh! It was covered with mayonaisse on white bread! There was probably more mayonaisse (is that how it's spelled) than tuna on the tuna-sandwich.. Just thinking of it makes me mad. Heh. Threw most of it out, then went to bed.
I was in a better mood in the morning, though, thankfully. That is, until we looked on the floor and saw a bunch of ants all over.. That was not amusing. Oh, btw, the bed's were hard as rocks and the shower head would fall off so the hose would spray everywhere. Our toilet wasn't good either, could only flush it once every hour and no paper was allowed in the toilet. I love my toilet here at home. We got out of the room and talked to Pia and Ka. Their room was much better, smaller, but no ant or bathroom problems. I can't really remember what we did that day, but I think it was mostly tanning. No swimming for me the first day. Oh, right, the hotel was *right* by the beach, so that was a pro on the long list of cons. Oh, and we were on Karpathos island. Then I think we went into the city.. At least that's what it says in my notes. Ate at a restaurant called Sofia's. It was nice, but I ate like a pig. But I'll talk more about food and stuff later.
On Tuesday, we took a bus-boat-bus ride to a very, very old city called Olympus. The first bus ride took about 20 minutes, then the boat ride took about an hour and a half and then the bus ride took a half an hour. Kinda boring (getting there), but I read "Jewels" all the way there and back. Olympus was not what I expected. I, being the dumbass I am, thought that we were going to the place where the people thought that the Gods were. But no, it was just an old city. A very old city. That hasn't changed so much. It was interesting but I expected more. Also, I found out that they built this place to hide from the pirates. Well, I was looking at this view from a house where you could see the bluest, greenish sea (it looked like it wasn't even real), I got this really strange feeling. I'm not a psychic or anything and I know this sounds *very* weird, but just looking around made me sick. Not sea-sick or nauseous, but like something *really* bad had happened there before. It's hard to explain, and I sound like a loony, but yeah, that's how I felt. I shall now change my name to Zora and start a psychic hotline. Heh. :-p. But seriously, it was so weird. When we got home from there, it was about 6 p.m. We ate at the hotel. Now something amusing happens. Yay, finally. Nikki and Alex had been playing beach-volley ball or something while me, Pia, Ka (that's what I've called my cousin Alexandra since I could talk, lol) and my mom were eating. Well, it was windy so the ball flew away.. Rolled away, into the sea. Ka heard Alex and Nikki yelling.. (It wasn't their ball, they had borrowed it) She runs to them, and sees the ball floating away. Haha, she didn't think and suddenly she was in the water, swimming after it trying to save it, Castaway style. (If you've seen the Tom Hanks movie) . But, unfortuneately, it was too late and the ball was lost and Ka was left 8:00 at night, fully clothed, soaking, coming out of the sea while my mom and Pia were taking pictures. Hahhaa. Poor Ka.
Wednesday. Very depressing day. And when I say very, I mean VERY. Very depressing because I almost lost my sister. I didn't, but it was close. Yes, well, that day I had decided to swim. I was swimming, having a fun time with Alex for a change, when Nikki decided to join us in the water. She had this big float-inflatable that was like a arm-chair kind of with her. No one thought that that could be dangerous. But yeah, it could. She brought it out into deep water to be with us (she can't swim that good but she had floaties on her arms) . It wasn't windy at all. But then suddenly, a huge wind comes and I let go of her. I didn't mean to, but I did. I really tried to keep up, but it was pretty much impossible. I screamed, trying to tell her to jump off before it was too late, but she would'nt.. Was too scared. And she just kept drifting farther and farther away very fast. Very, very ,very fast. I screamed and screamed and people tried to swim out and help, but the wind and waves were too much. Nikki kept getting farther away. I was also really far out, because I kept trying to keep up, but I couldn't. My mom was out there, Alex was out there. People trying to help. Complete chaos. Luckily, Alex had came by my mom and gave her a board so she could swim faster without getting as tired. So, Alex actually saved my mom because my mom wouldn't have stopped swimming even if it killed her. After a while, I couldn't see anyone but Nikki on her pink floaty because they were all so far away. I would've also drowned, if it wasn't for a guy who came out and tried to get me to come back in to the beach. He was about 15 years old, I think.. My age. He helped me a lot. Seriously, because I was really far out and if he didn't make me come back, I wouldn't have at all. I was panicking. I refused to go back though, until someone helped my sister. I was screaming uncontrollably. He could see better though, since he didn't have foggy goggles on and wasn't crying. He told me that people were very close (in English.. He might have been Swedish too, but I don't know. He didn't know what country I was from either) to Nikki. Suddenly she falls off her floaty, but of course, I didn't see that, I only saw it flying away across the water. So, I panicked some more, but he reassured me that someone was very close now. Finally the guy who saved her and my mom caught up. I still couldn't think though, so he still had to make me get back to land. Once I did, he practically disappeared. No idea where he went or where he came from. And I never saw him after that.. Too bad, I really wanted to thank him afterwards. I finally got to see Nikki though, so I didn't think of that until later.. Exactly when Nikki and my mom get onto the beach, the emergency boats come out. Haha, great timing. They had to go to the hospital though, to make sure that they didn't swallow too much salt water. I was crushed, felt terrible for the next few hours. But once they got home, it slowly got back to normal. Lotsa hugs (not of the normal) but yeah.. I wasn't *as* crushed because she was fine. At night, we even went to the grill party that the hotel has every Wednesday.. It probably would've been boring for me..... If I didn't see the guy of my dreams. DAMN!!!!!!!! He was so gorgeous. Okay, if anyone has seen Point Pleasant, he looked like Jesse / Samuel Page (which I just looked up now). He didn't look completely like that, only hotter. Much, much, much hotter.. About 17 years old I think. I probably stared all night. But that didn't really matter because he stared back... Of course, once Danielle meets *the* guy, she has a boyfriend, for like the first time ever. Typical. I would never do anything but just a little harmless flirting though, because I would never cheat.. Even though I had only been going out with Jimmy for about a week... It feels longer though, since we talked and stuff a lot before that. But back to the subject of *the guy* . We flirted shamelessly (haha, the word shamelessly) for a few hours.. First it was just while we were eating dinner because he was sitting at the table right in front of me.. I swear, love at first sight. Well, kinda.. At least there was eye contact since the first time I sat down. When my mom made us move by the bar instead, I didn't want to. I wanted to stay there and stare at my hottie. Too bad. They moved to the bar, I followed. Soon enough, he followed too.. Well, just to watch football, but still.. He looked back at me a lot. Nice. After a few hours of *listening* to my mom and Pia, I finally went in. I almost cried, haha. Little emotional me. I thought I'd never see him again. Hah, I was wrong.
Thursday I went out tanning at around 10ish.. And guess who was sitting there tanning? The guy. Yay. He was there with his family, but more flirting.. Well, not flirting , but more like glances at eachother. That was nice. We sat like that for a few hours, and then went to the city to eat dinner.. Haha, not me and him, my family and I . Pia and mom let us rent movies, we rented (from a veeeery little selection of movies) First Daughter and Top Gun. Yes, First Daughter.. With Marc Blucas! Shame on me!! Shame, shame, shame!!!!!! My sisters, Ka and I watched it on Pia's computer.. It was actually good, I thought. Yes, a movie with Marc Blucas was good... The worst part.... He was kinda hot in it. Damn. I can't help it.. But he wasn't farm-boy in this movie. He was hot dude. So, yeah. Surprised me. Top Gun we watched the next day, didn't think it was *that* good.
But yes, Friday had to come and I had to ruin it all!!!! *beep**beep**beep*. Uggghhhhhh!!!!!!! We were at the beach some more, and he was there.. Flirting ensued for a while... But then.. Something happened.. Yes. It did.. He was walking off and did a thing with his head like *Follow me* .. But I freaked. Yes, I did. Damn. Then he came back with a face like *What's wrong, come oooon*. But I was just confused. *Follow me, pleeaaase* he pleaded with me with his wonderful eyes.. But I didn't move from my tanning chair.. When he came back, he was mad.. Well, not mad, I don't think.. But embarassed... I can't help that I have a boyfriend!!! Otherwise.. Well, there isn't an *otherwise* so why should I think like that? . Eventually, I had to leave. We ate at Sofia's again. I think. Then I went home and went to bed. I think. Not sure.. I probably read. I don't even care.
Saturday, we went on a boat ride to 3 nice beaches, beautiful water, beautiful beaches, whatever. I was in a bad mood, and the stupid instuctor, Abduhl, wasn't making it better. He is so annoying. Not that I saw much of him, but he's annoying enough to last a life time. Yes, but once we came back from the beaches ( which some greek people pronounce *bitches* ) , we went home, got ready and went to the city to eat at a restaurant. I saw *him*, my guy. Yes, I insist on calling him my guy or the guy because I don't know his name. I don't know anything about him. He may have even been an idiot, but I doubt it.. He seemed to be someone who didn't trust a lot of people, but once he did, he was great towards them.. My analysation. :-p. Yes, he and his mom, dad, older brother and younger sister sat at the restaurant next to ours.. We were far away, but I saw him easily. And he saw me... Once.. Well, he knew I was there but didn't look at me.. I think he was still kinda mad. But yeah, we did make eye-contact and didn't break it for about 1 minute.. That was good, I thought. But of course, all great things must come to an end, and we left. Poor me. Haha. Then I bought a gift for Meriam and Jimmy. Yes, I still like Jimmy. But he's not the one. Haha, I'm too young for that. But I think that *the guy* could've been.. Haha, my teenage dreams.. I wonder if I'll ever see him again.
My last day in Greece.. It was crappy. I got up early to go to the store with Pia, and once we get back, a bunch of people are waiting outside with bags.. *He* is one of them. His family was leaving earlier. *beeeeep*. Stupid, stupid... He was norwegian, I found out.. Damn! I wish he was Danish because then he would've left the same time we did! Not that we are danish, but we were going to Denmark.. So, he didn't *have* to be Danish, just that he would go to Denmark. But he didn't... Uggh!!! I've gotten so attached to this guy I never have even talked to or will see again.. My typical luck.. And I have a boyfriend. Oh well... I sat under an umbrella the whole day because my feet were burning and I was tired of the sun.. Hah, and pissy. I was mad. We ate at the guy who saved Nikki's place (yes, my mom found out who he was, because, well, she wanted to thank him.. I don't know how she found him, I think that she just asked around). I had the best fish ever! Haha, I don't even usually like fish but it was delicious.. And not that fatty. It wasn't a famous fish though, so I probably will never taste that fish again either. Yeah, yeah, the plane ride home was boring.. And bumpy. I was worried. And the train ride the next day was fine, quiet since we sat in the quiet section, and I read the whole way.. 4 hours..
Got home to the apartment finally, and ate dinner, called Meriam (I'm too tired to write details now, it's 3:30 and taken me 2 hours to write this whole thing.) She got home from Turkey yesterday. She met a norwegian guy, too, but they actually exchanged e-mail addresses.. Poor me. Yes, we walked around and talked.. Then, later, I went to my grandma's to pick something up, and I weigh the exact same as last week.. So, I hadn't gone up in weight.. I was sure I had. But I hadn't.. Now I have to go down some more though, hopefully I'll fix my bike tomorrow but I doubt it since I'm gonna be with Jimmy..
Oh, yes.. My reading.. I've finished 7 books since school ended.. Sleeping with the enemy, A child called it, I miss you I miss you, Jewels, The Gift, Sunshine and Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married.. Well, I'm almost done with LSiGM. 100 of the 740 pages left.. I might write what I thought of all the books tomorrow.. Too tired now.. Shower and then bed time. Yay.
