HELLO WORLD. HOW ARE YOU?
Let's see... it's been a few days. My flight Thursday went well. I did nothing productive, but oh well. I think for most of it I played Audiosurf and a little of Portal lol. But Portal I could only play for so long because we hit some turbulence. And see, I don't mind turbulence, but it makes it kind of hard to shoot off accurate portals with correct timing when your hand is moving up and down.
Alas, for my long flight I did not get a window seat. I checked in like... 10 minutes after check in started and I still got in group B. I am going to be right on the dot checking in on Wednesday. I want a window seat for the way back :|
On a side note, I'm pretty sure Egypt had more green than Arizona did. Holy shit that state is barren.
Ventura county is beautiful~ I am staying in Moorpark. But damn the weather is wonderful. There's always a nice breeze and it isn't too hot. Generally I will either be sleeping through the morning/afternoon or sitting out on the steps with my nook or lappy until Damien gets back from school/work.
Damien has a gecko, bearded dragon, monitor lizard, and chameleon :D I have only picked up the bearded but he is one social devil. Though at one point he did get up to my shoulder and tried to cling to my hair when I was attempting to put him back. He also took a dump on me another time :| Lame.
One of his other roommates, who is also in the EATM program, has a hawk. Her focus is falconry. This roommate is amazing. The sort of stuff she says isn't the sort of thing you'd expect to hear, like: "I got slapped by a beaver today" and "Does anyone actually mind about the dead things kept in the fridge?" and something about a frozen squirrel, but I can't remember the conversation. It was amusing though. Maybe I can get the picture from her another time.
The other roommate has a chihuahua and isn't very awesome. She's not like, horrible or anything, but.
Uhhhhh what have I done... STUFF. I've done stuff LOL. I've been immersed into Mexican food, and discovered the glorious fast food place that is In-N-Out. DELICIOUS. Also fro-yo! Frozen yogurt! I mean... I've had frozen yogurt before, sure, but... this place you got it yourself and it was cute and I can't explain it :D
We went to the beach one day... after we helped his mom move some furniture. Lol breaking sand castles and making other stuff BETTER.
I read Holly Black's White Cat. Bah! That ending! Makes me sad. But it was a good book, I really like the author though I think she her audience is gen young adult. I need to reread Tithe/Valiant/Ironside at some point.
I knew I should've written down what I did. I was going to! And then I was like, "Nah, I'll remember." Psh! Now look at me!
Today I went with Damo to feed a bunch of snakes. Those poor, cute mice and rats, but... well, what can I say, it was fascinating. I'm not easily disgusted, so it was pretty cool.
Tomorrow I ~finally~ get to go to the zoo. He also has a final tomorrow night, so after that we're going to go see The Last Airbender, apparently at a movie theatre that has a bar in it. LOL. I've never heard of that sort of thing.
Oh! We went hiking one day after he got done. Brought his German shepherd, Ditch. The hike kind of killed me. I don't know what was wrong, but I wasn't breathing right. Never had that problem. It took a few hours afterward before I could take in a full breath without coughing. It felt like I only had access to part of my throat. It was weird. But I made it!
Um um um... and yeah! Stuff! Life! Lovely weather :D I am enjoying myself.
Hope everyone is doing well enough.
On an unrelated note, I've had "If We Ever Meet Again" by Timberland (featuring Katy Perry) stuck in my head on and off for the last week. Dammit. :|
