ahhhhhhhit was quite a november, right?i recently got back from a week long trip to Florida to visit my family. it had been at least 6 months since i had seen some of them and near a year for others. it was really enjoyable. i brought the boyfriend along to meet the family. this went really well! even yesterday when i was on the phone with my mom, my grandma (in the background) told me that she misses Trevor. yep, just Trevor. haha. everyone in my family was really impressed and felt like he'd been around for awhile, very comfortable. it makes me very happy. :) the first two days of my vacation were spent in Orlando, Fl because we had one free (and three discounted) tickets to Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure. we got into Orlando around noon, drove to our hotel (the Hard Rock) and took a much needed nap. we got all cleaned up (this being me, Trevor, my mom, and my stepdad Glen) and went out to party in CityWalk. first, we went to the Hard Rock restaurant. and here's where one of the coolest things happened. my stepdad told one of the people there that is was a special day because it had been awhile since i'd visited. and i guess if you tell the people of the largest Hard Rock in the world that it's a special day... they show you really cool things. after dinner, this guy came to our table and took us on a VIP sort of adventure through their most prized collection of rock memorabilia. it was all Beatles. the first hallway had a wall made out of the original Cavern Club bricks. then there were miscellaneous guitars/posters/photographs that were fairly awesome. but the best part is that they had an entire VIP room dedicated to John Lennon. it was made to look like his home in NY. and it contained the couch that he sat on where he wrote every single song of his. fucking fantastic! it also included a lot of original artwork, records, and a piano where every single key was signed by a musician. (like Billy Joel and Elton John) that night i went to a karaoke place with my parents, got tipsy, and then went on stage and sung "Just a Girl" by No Doubt. wonderful. the next day we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. (one day, two parks.) everything went awesome there for the most part. we got through the lines rather quickly because our hotel room keys acted like fast passes. unfortunately, we went on a few water rides near the end. bleh. on Wednesday we made the 3 hour trek back home. my stepbrothers were there so we spent the day lounging around. Thanksgiving went rather well. lots of food, lots of Left 4 Dead 2. the rest of the weekend went smoothly. i can't honestly remember a whole lot right now. we did some shopping, hung around the house, watched a lot of movies, and i took a shitload of photos for my Advanced Color Final. around 375. which brings me to now. i am working on finals. (slowly but surely.) unfortunately i have about two weeks left. soo, i have to kick my ass. we'll see how it goes! wish me luck. p.s. when i came home on Tuesday afternoon my apartment was decorated like a winter wonderland! it smelled like cookies, and there were lights and reindeers and snow and snowflakes and EVERYTHING AWESOME EVER. i love my biffl.<3 |
