Sunday

I'm here and I forgot my Playstation 2. Dad says he's going to go get it tomorrow, along with some other things that we forgot. I almost feel like I don't need it, except that I know I'll change my mind by the middle of the week, so might as well. Which is to say, of course I'm having fun sitting out on this nice breezy porch on the third floor and reading what I call Keele's Excellent Adventure. Keele is remembering what happened when he was a kid. He got into Mintche University several years early! And before that, he wasn't just a bookworm, he was a bookoholic. And before THAT, he thought he was slow and he wasn't good at anything. :( So it's a happy ending, he turns into something of a weirdo who never cuts his hair, but he goes to school and he likes it. And I get to read about it :D

I have noticed, however, that I'm not as good as I used to be at reading out loud. I'm not sure why, maybe I'm just out of practice, or it's the reading material. I don't sound as good anymore, either. I need more practice actually talking to people ;;;

I took a walk to a certain vacation house out here. There's this little one that's right on the water and it has a pretty garden. I can't really explain it, but it's just the right shape and size and I love to go look at it. Last year I took a bunch of pictures of it right before we left and then I used them to make a house in the Sims ;; so I would always remember ;;;;; Ah well. The important part is that I took a walk there on my own. In parts I don't know too well. WITHOUT MY CELL PHONE!!!!1 So I was very brave. It was kind of hot and too bright to see anything (next time I think I'll go a little later in the day) and my flip-flops wore a hole in my toe (and different shoes, too). But it was kind of nice to walk out there just because I wanted to.

I wonder if I shouldn't worry about eating, because I'm on vacation, or if I should, because it's a whole week and that's a lot of time to gain weight.


Tuesday
Well, today I saw Pirates of the Caribbean again and I didn't really feel like I needed to. In fact, I was bored. And cold. I knew I would be before I even went, but I went and suffered through it anyway because I was the one who suggested it =_=. (I didn't want to sit around in the heat again today.) Maybe I need to brush up on slashing available men when I'm bored. Goodness knows there's enough of those in that movie. It's actually not my forte, I prefer to wait for other people to tell me what to slash (RoyEd, 1x2, Kamishiro Maiku and Shimazaki Whatsisgay).

Speaking of slash, I brought my doujinshi but I'm not reading it because 1. danger 2. Keele's Excellent Adventure is more fun and 3. DANGER DANGER WARNING I CANNOT READ PORN IN FRONT OF MY FAMILY, LET ALONE THE FAMILY FRIENDS WE ARE STAYING WITH. I just have to bring it up because I want to pat myself on the back for courageously bringing it along. That's the ticket, Robin. Good work. But wouldn't it be interesting if I did start reading it? Katie, the daughter of these people we are staying with, is in high school and apparently she has a taste for fanfiction. Oh yes. So supposing I did bring out my doujinshi, maybe she would just go, oh, she's one of those women who writes fanfic about Angel and Spike, ew, instead of getting into a long discussion with my mother about slash's place in literature. Or maybe she would refuse to eat at the same table as me. I am of course too chickenshit to find out. It's probably best that way.

Keele's Excellent Adventure is turning out to be a mystery story (as apposed to Arche's luff story or Chester and Cless' adventure story), which for a story where we technically already know the ultimate outcome (Keele returns to Reid and co.), is very good. They drop a chandelier on Keele. POOR KEELE. *fusses* Knock him down some stairs. And, um, what else. Zosimos, the guy who runs the giant telescope in Inferia City, is a serious liar. He lies about a lot of things and he lets Keele get in trouble for doing what he told him to. Keele is not enjoying his time with him. The guy who kicked Keele out of school appears, and he's stupid, too. In fact, there are a lot of annoying people in this book and I'm looking forward to seeing Keele escape from them.

What else did I do. Oh yes, the flea market, which started out hot and boring, but improved slightly when I bought some jewelry that I like and a hunk of rose quartz that I have no use for. I bought it BECAUSE I have no use for it and because it's pink.

That's all I wrote. I really kept myself busy.
