Small Hours, Long Days: home

29 December 2011

I have until Sunday. Then I'm back to the frozen wasteland.
I went to Laguna again last night. Happens a lot.
I went shopping yesterday and today. I'm really sleepy now. It's only 6. Not an acceptable bedtime. I want to watch a movie. But I don't know what I want or where I want to watch it. Or with whom.
I should probably shower... But I probably won't.
I played with all the kids at my house yesterday. There were about 13 in my house. It was insanity.
I got a surprise letter yesterday. It was nice(:
I;m not sure if I am excited to go back to the place or if I am dreading it. There are many things I dislike about being there, but I do like the people and I miss Kenz.
I've been eating too much and it's making me start to feel panicky.

Home for the Holidays

Christmas was a blur of family and of hiding from said family. It was pretty decent. I got to cook which is always fun. I didn't get any Christmas presents. I got to open presents, but they were for the kinect my family got and since I don't live at home they aren't really for me. I got myself j'adore by Dior though(: Woot.
Yesterday I woke up and went to my friend Grant's house for breakfast and a movie. It was The Illusionist. Soo good. I've never seen it before, but it was really good. It was so pretty!

Then we went downtown so he could shop for important things. We got some coconut water with chunks and aloe with mango. The aloe was good, the coconut water... not so much. The chucks made it bearable.

Then we went down to the beach. The water wasn't that cold. The tide was really low, so we went and looked at all the pier leg things. They are covered in muscles and barnacles and snails and something we don't know. It was cool. I got to see the animal inside a barnacle.

Ups and Downs

This week has been full of ups and downs.
I went shooting for the first time this weekend. I rode a quad for the firt time. I went to Olivera Road in LA yesterday. Then there are many little things between which are not so fun or pleasent to think or write about. On to the fun things.

My first expierience shooting. I'm never invited on manly outings, so this time I decided to invite myself. it was really fun!

Olivera St. is this market in LA that has all these neat Latin American shops. They sell the coolest things. It kind of reminded me of wandering the markets in europe. Jenna and I kept getting seperated from the boys. It was fun but it was a bummer we couldn't stay longer.

Today is my brother Jon's 16th birthday. Woot for him. He got heart attacked this morning. So sweet.

3 Weeks Till Christmas Break

So my parents decided to fly me down for Thanksgiving. I got to see all the kids. They are all getting so tall. For Thanksgiving we had a bunch of family over. I made homemade cranberry sauce which I only got a little of because I was at the kid table. Kid table = lame. Anyway. I don't know why I got stuck there.
I went to In-n-Out while I was there. I even had a hamburger. I know so many calories. But I did it anyway.

Of course I had to go shopping at a good mall while I was home. I bought so many things and now have a list of things I want still. It felt amazing. I even went to Zara<3 Day complete. I did not compete in Black Friday though.

On Thanksgiving day, my brother, dad, aunt, uncle, and I all went to visit family members' graves. I'm named after my great-grandma, so its always kind of weird to see my name on a headstone...

My brother Ben and I(:

My little sister had me put make up on her one day. Usually I have softer,easy to remove make up for her. I forgot it of course. So we used mine.

On Friday I went on a bike ride with my friend. We went all throughout the Central Park in my area and looked at all the ducks. It was super fun!

Saturday night I hung out with Dane. It was the last time I will see him for two years. He's been called to serve a mission in Colombia. We had a super fun night. I'm going to miss him. A lot.

The night I had to leave we went out for sushi. I miss fish and sushi so much. I ate wayyy too much though. My brother and his friend.

It was my 9 year old brother's first time. He didn't like it... haha

And now I am home. Back in the frozen wasteland. Its very cold here. Not snowing. Yet. My apartment is freezing though! I feel like the cut off the heating for the break. Rude.

Belated

This is a belated post. I had to wait to steal the photos off of my friend's camera. So! Here they are. We took a trip to Hollywood one day. Just for kicks. Jtween and D.F. were my companions for the day. i ended up spending most of my time in Zaras. I got a cute maxi skirt and a dress that I wore to church today. That's off topic. Anyway. Here are some photos:

We stopped at an ice cream stop. It was Disney.
