The first day of our "wonderful" vacation was at Universal Studios. The first thing we went to was a Haunted House. Since I am the one who's nearly scared of everything, I held Sarah's hand tightly as we walked through the haunted house with random creepy actors popping out everywhere, I flinched and squeezed tightly. I started to get more and more pissed off as Andrew kept wandering away from the group, and ahead of all of us. However, let's face it, he's 13, and he's excited to be somewhere he might never go to again. Next we waited in line forever for the simulation "The Simpsons" ride. It was exhausting being in line for around 90 minutes. I'll never forget that dumb wait. We watched little clips on these TV's above the line that played the same crap around 4 times total. Again and again, we saw Bart being swept away on that dumb kiddy ride that he was too tall to ride. The ride was not worth the wait, not only had I already been on that ride while I was in Florida, but it was simulation, all you did was rock back and forth while watching a show. After that, we were pretty much starving after that long wait, and decided to get some pizza. After waiting around 30 minutes in the hot sun in a big crowd, we got pizza that could've convinced us it was sunburned. The pizza was so hot, and so undercut that it was both the worst pizza I've ever had, and it burnt my hand a little and made me even more pissed off. Being dragged to a tour, Marilyn Monroe said she absolutely loved my shirt, and said she wanted it for herself. After being a little flattered, I notice my phone's life was halfway depleted. We went on the tour, and saw some pretty breathtaking stuff like sets from movies, and TV shows such as Desperate Housewives and Back to the Future. We also saw one of the biggest crashes that Steven Spielberg made himself from a movie that escapes my mind right now.After that we went on the Jurassic Park ride, and got soaked, but it felt good in the California weather. After that, we got addicted to "The Mummy" one of the most addicting rides there at Universal because it took us backwards and it was in the dark, and it wasn't simulation like most of the rides. Following the 3-4 times we rode that ride, we decided to head back to the hotel after a long day of shows and rides that really weren't worth the wait.
The second day when we went to Disney Land, I was immediately sick of vacationing. Let's face it, I was getting pissed off with nearly everything, and I missed my boyfriend that I couldn't talk to as much. Not only was I missing my boyfriend, but I was missing back home too, and my bed, and...that's about it. However, my mom was attending a seminar up there in California so I didn't get to see her the first three days of our vacation. Around 6, I started complaining about how much I wanted to go back to the hotel, and pretty much home because my feet and legs were sore from all the walking. But because Andrew wanted to go on all of the little kiddy rides that Disney Land had, we stayed there until the park closed, and then had to walk back to the hotel. The only thing that Disney Land had that was totally worth it was Space Mountain and looking at the Iron Man suits. Other than that, I kind of hated that place.
The third day of our vacation, we went to California Adventures, another part of Disney Land. Zach, Sarah, and I didn't expect much of California Adventures because we all didn't have as much fun as we wanted back in Disney Land, it didn't meet our expectations. California Adventures was pretty amazing for these points:1. California Screamin': Such a fun rollercoaster, I was kind of scared to go on it at first because of how fast it was and how big the drops were, but the whole thing was really just a breeze. I loved it. We even went on it around 4 times.
2. World of Color: The one ride where Zach and I actually started bonding. Before this World of Color, we pretty much disliked each other. With all the colorful water, and scenes from movies and oooing and ahhing. We simply adored how amazing the lights were and how much the music matched with the water. It's a MUST see if you're up in California Adventures. Much better than Disney Land's lame fireworks.
3. Radiator Springs Racers: Scenes from the movie, while riding in a sports car, everything was exactly on from the movie, along with Cars Land itself. I felt like I was in the movie! It wasn't worth 90 minutes of waiting, but I see why it was so popular. If you're going to ride this, you're going to have to do it when it gets dark. If you're still in line when California Adventures closes, they'll let you ride anyway, and the line will start to speed up because they want to get their day over with.
Our fourth day of vacation was good old Knott's Berry Farm. The last I had been at Knott's I was three years old and I had been just a baby riding on a kiddy ride with a giant envelope bawling my eyes out. I had to admit, I was pretty scared of all the rides there at Knott's. I went on every single ride there though, and even thought the Exelerator was the most scary ride of them all, I still went on it twice, along with the Boomerang and a ride that looked like The Mouse back in Lagoon. Knott's Berry Farm was by far the funnest day of my vacation because my mom told me to just laugh when I got scared. My mom's kind of giving me the advice that Pinkie Pie told the other ponies to do when they saw all the spooky trees. She just told them to giggle at the ghosties, just like how my mom told me to laugh in the face of fear. She said the best part of roller coasters is that you know you're safe. After a big day of laughter, we all had voted to go home except for Andrew, who ran off and did whatever the heck he wanted kind of like an excited 6 year-old. Not only did he not act his age, he rode all the kiddy rides that we could've done back in Lagoon there. We waited for Andrew for over 2 hours and played Charades on Sarah's phone, which was really fun. Zach, Sarah, and I bonded even more during the games.
The next day, we went to Six Flags with hot weather as high as the 85 degrees, and maybe even higher. Without any shade, and with "Flash" passes that kind of sucked, we sat around doing nothing because the lines were way too long and none of the rides were worth the wait. Six Flags was never even worth it. I'm never going to Six Flags again unless I have the Flash Pass that speeds up the wait by 90% instead of absolutely nothing. I wanted to go home as soon as we got out of the car. Six Flags made me dizzy, and it made me miserable after this big hill we went up and down around 5 times. The hill made me want to get the hill outta that park! It even gave me an asthma attack that made me dizzy and I couldn't breathe for a while. It wasn't until a little after Dawson prayed that I could breathe normally again. Truth is, I needed a lazy day. The next day we were planning to go back to Universal, where we had already done everything there, and it wasn't really worth it. After being so exhausted, I took off my socks, and climbed into bed realizing that my toenail had fallen off along with a couple of blisters on my toes. I had done so much walking, it seemed like I was hiking 10 miles every day. I missed my bed, I wasn't getting enough sleep, and I wished I could come home to my boyfriend who was missing me just as much, maybe even more.
It was time for my lazy day along with Zach and Sarah. We all decided to stay at the hotel because to us, there was no point in going back to Universal Studios if we had already done everything there. We were lucky we didn't go because we got to rest up our legs and feet, and relax in the hotel's swimming pool, eat some pizza, and have all the food at our hotel rooms to ourselves (chocolate, yogurt, potato chips, and whatever else we could find). They had came back after being stuck in traffic for hours. The next morning we were all to make our way back to Idaho, it was about freaking time. No offense to any californians, but I hate that state. It's too humid there, and everywhere I sit I feel like I pee myself.During this whole vacation, Dawson was acting super sweet to me, he actually acted like he was obsessed with me. It was so cute and sweet, and it made me feel so special. Here's just one of the texts he sent me over the vacation. "Dawson: Baby iloveyou, you're my world. When I see you, you make my heart skip a beat and I just get dizzy when you're in the same room. Being with you makes me feel like I'm 'floating and it's unreal. Sometimes I think I'll wake up with knowing that the past 10 months was just a good dream ~Bek'sMan<3" Of course, when I read that I thought it was the most adorable thing I've ever read, but some of the texts he had sent me over vacation took up a whole page in my book for locked messages. It's ridiculous how long it took to write down ONE message in that notebook. Of course there's other sweet things he had said to me while I was away, but that one just makes my heart flutter whenever I read it, as does this one. "Dawson: I'm dedicated. I'm obsessed. I'm addicted to being by your side. You're the one I want, you take my breath away at sight. You're an amazing beautiful girl, the best I can ever wish for, and the one I'm in love with. ~Bek'sMan<3" and this one. "Dawson: Honey, you're one in a trillion, I'm so glad I met you last year and even more so to get to be your boyfriend and I'm never ever ever going to find someone as good as you are. iloveyou<3 forever and always. ~Bek'sMan<3" My point is, I really am glad that he realized how much he means to me, and I'm glad I can see how much I mean to him too. I'm grateful for everything that has happened that helped this all happen. I'm Lil Miss Epic, and I'm here to say, I love my life. Our lives have it's ups and downs, but we'll always get that happy ending.
Song of the Day: California Girls by Katy Perry
What else would we have other than the song I couldn't get out of my head when we landed there in Califonia?
Shout-Out of the Day:
Dad: I don't know what you want from me, but I feel hurt by what you've said to me, and I've pretty much stopped taking pictures of me because of how you've offended me. Because of your little comment, my self esteem has dropped a bunch. I know you said you're sorry, but I didn't feel like you meant you were sorry. I just want you to know that THAT isn't something you should joke about around me. Sometimes I do have self esteem problems about my weight, but now you switch it to whether or not I look alright. I couldn't care less about my weight now, it's just how I look now. I feel like I look terrible. I love you, but I can't hang out with you today. I'm hurt, and still offended by what you have said to me.
