music: {the killers - "somebody told me" acoustic version}
just got back from the little "vacation." well... it sucked. majorly. we didn't go out of state like i thought we were going to. we went to lake george, which is like... 4 or 5 hours away. not a good road trip. my headphones decided to not work. so i was stuck listening to my dad's oldies station. which normally wouldnt have bothered me. i love the oldies. i was just in a really bad mood because my headphones were disfunctional. i was deprived of my placebo...
then the traffic was growing. it was so crowded. everyone was going to the lake george region. my dad couldnt figure out why it was so jammed. all the hotels were booked, all of them. it was weird.
there were a few hotels that had spare rooms, but they were too expensive for my dad. either he's horrendously cheap... or we're horrendously broke.
so finally, at 3.30 in the morning, after 8 hours of looking, we found a cheap hotel. Superlodge. or something with the word "super" in it.
we got in...claimed our beds...changed into jammies... and fell asleep. i couldnt sleep. i have a thing about sleeping in a public resting area. i dont like it. its not comforting knowing that so many people sleep in the same bed before you do. i stayed up and just stared at the wall and counted my little sister's breaths.
so the next morning, we went to some breakfast buffet and ate. then we went into town and did some shopping. i didnt want the parentals to get me anything, so i just got a ginger ale and that is all. mom got some cowboy hick hat... moira got a o or something. but i was keen on my ginger ale.
we went to wallgreens and dad bought me a new pair of headphones, unbeknownst to me. i didn't mind. i was a little grateful, but i detest it when he buys things for me. mainly because mom always thinks that i ask for them. but i never ask for anything... never. i'm not a materialistic kind of person. there are more important things in life the souvenirs. but alas, she assumes the worst, all the time.
then we went to some RV shop, looked at camping crap and RV trailers. cool stuff.
we went underneath a bridge and put our feet in the river. moira fell in. t'was very amusing, but for the sake of my well-being, i refrained from laughing. some people were river tubing, if you've ever heard of that, and i just watched the old women scream and fidget at the cold touch of the water.
then we left and just drove around... went back to the hotel. went in the pool. played in the game room. blah blah.
we ordered pizza and chinese food, ate, and watched HBO. SWAT, League of Extraordinary Gentelmen, Speed, and Speed 2. moira took a fancy to the League of E. Gentlemen. then she and mom fell asleep when Speed started. so dad and i stayed up to watch that. i liked keanu reeves, and still do a tid bit. but eh...i didn't like him in the matrix bunch. or at least the last two.
my arms were throbbing from the swimming. i swam free style earlier, and was really intense and into it... i guess i just pinched a nerve or something because i was crying at the pain. they still hurt, but not as much.
eh... going to go read my book, bye bye meh lovers.
comment question of the day:
if you were mysteriously given 3 wishes, any 3 wishes you could think of, what would they be?
i'm not going to answer this time, because, honestly, i have no answer.

Seems the smart thing to do would be simply to ask for an infinite number of wishes right from the start. But, given that it would defeat the purpose of the exercise.
1) I wish I where more objective about myself, my life, and those around me.
2) I wish the convenience store down the hill didn't gouge on their prices.
3) I wish I already had a place in Montreal and a few friends to take a roadtrip up there (to help move my shite, of course)
